The great and unparalleled success that has
been achieved by our Asbestos Non-Conduc-
tor for covering Steam Boilers and Pipes war
rant us in offering it to you as the BEST AND
MOST DURABLE FELTINd now existing.
This Company is the Oldest and most extern
sive in the United States and by actual test
the Asbestos Felting has proven to be more
durable than any other covering extant. 1t is
strongly patented and any use of the word
Asbestos" in connection with any other felt
ing is an infringement 1t contains the best non
conducting. and fire-proof ingredients known
to science Asbestos is q mineral long known
to chemistry as non infiamable and the most
positive retainer of heat in nature. Our pro-
cess consists in SO preparing Asbestos with
other fibrous and glutinous matter as to form
a strong, elastic adhesive and indestructible
covering for steam pipes and boilers, which
we have fully demonstrated is pre-eminentls
superior to any other covering now in use. 1t
is less expensive than Hair Felting and can
be applied at any time while the boilers are in
use. One covering VII last in perfect order
as long as the boilers or pipes. By absolute
test
1T IS KNOWN TO SAVE 25 TO 80 PER
CENT. IN FUEL.
II is non-infiamable. indestructible and a
perfect non conductor of heat and cold. Its
fexibility causes it to contract and expand
with the iron surface thus preventing it
from cracking. As it absorbs no moisture
ana excludes Ine atmosphere tne burIace OF
boiler or pipe cannot corrode. 1t is applied
in plastic state upon a hot surface with
facility and in q few hours becomes dry,
light, elastic and tenaciously adhesive. 1t
contains 40 lime or other corroding substance.
We challenge the world to produce covering
to compete with ours in durability and saving
of fuel. We possess the sole knowledge and
proprietorship of this process, and would
caution all parties against worthless limitations
of our Asbestos Nom Conductor, our unprece-
\ dented success having started several worth
less limitations of it into existence protesting
to contain Asbestos Superintendent and
engineers are invited to examine the material
and work at the Savage Mining Company.

In the trial of William Taylor for
the murder of "Doc" O'Neil, the

the two men, and that Taylor had
previously threatened to kill o'Neil

PIuTEs.-Civilizatio is fraud.
The influence of the Caucasian ex-
tends not beyond his household, and
in many cases one would think
the text was forgotten even there.
If any one doesn't believe what we
say, let him look upon the manly
form of the dirty Piute as he saun-
ters down street wrapped in a blan-
ket colored as Joseph's coat never
WAS anu suiciiiHS ihO " io"'eSs
Westphalia ham. He Is perfectly
independent. The rise or fall OF
stocks in no way effect his equhibri-
um. The third-term spectre causes
no political SPECIFICATIONS on his
part. The yield of the bonanza
mines don't increase that of the
pine.nuts. The building CT new
houses, the grading of streets, the
opening of mines, in fact no import
ant event in commercial political,
financial or socia! circles is of suffi
Gent importance to rouse one word OF
surprise or look of interest. Yes !!
there is one thing that will cause a
revolution in his mind,-will make
feeble smile, the shadow Of a
laugh, to fit across his smoky face,
l.aud that is load of wood. He will
Immediately make "a bargain for the
cutting thereof, generally stipulatin2
| that he will have his grub thrown
! in. Then he departs and when he
returns. 10! behold his numerous
fanily-ihey are always large on
these occasions-are seen crossing
the creek, like the Israelites follow
ing Moses from out the Red Sea to
the promised land. They will squat
around that wood pile and never
miss meal. At night he returns
TO his campoodie on the hillside,
consisting of few sticks covered
with old gunny-sacks which are not
noted for being air-tight, wraps him
self in his blanket and sleeps the
sleep of the lazy, beside his hand
fnl of sage brush fire. No matter
if tie wind rage, the rain drench, or
the snow fall. So we say civiliza.
ton is a fraud. He cares nothing
for our luxuries, scorns our inn
provements and never-catches cold.

are erected and deep shaft sunk,
as the company intend doing in the
spring, we believe greater depth
than yet attained will reveal an ore
body second to none in the district.
KossUTH.
The developments made in this
mine within the past few months are
of character to establish the most
abiding faith in the richness and per-
manency of this district. The COM
pany have had many difficulties to
contend against, being at the depth
where the greatest amount of water
is found to exist. This was added
to by the stoppage of the Daney and
Dayton. The increase of the water
was so gre It for a time that it was
feared tue combined efforts of the
pumps and tanks would not be able
to keep it in check. But the super
intendent, Mr.. p. III. Scott, is not a
man to yield to any obstacle which
may obstruct his way in the devel-
opment of his mine, and energetic
perseverance succeeded. The sink
ing of the shaft has continued, and
over $500 feet Of prospecting drifts
and tunnels have been run, including
the numerous crosscuts. On the
200-foot level the drift running north
and south revealed good body of
low grade, varying in assays from
SIS to $50 per ton, but the progress
southwark was marked by change in
the ore, it becoming more largely
impregnated with silver. At a dis
lance of 900 feet south of the main
shaft WINE was sunk, from the
bottom of which a drift was run
eastward about 100 feet, when an
other winze was sunk to the foot of
the 300-foot level. Both WINES be-
ing in vein matter, at this point i'm
portant developments were made,
by encountering a fine body of white
silver-bearing quartz, assaying as
high as $40 per ton, but it couldn't
be continued on account of water.
To overcome this trouble the $50
foot level was opened, and upon tap
ping the ledge the south drift was
continued nearly 500 feet, which
drained the water almost as fast as
the pumps could raise it. Wherever
Il vein was cut it showed increased
richness, assaying from .$45 to 1886
per ton. Another station has been
opened at the 500-foot level, from
which drifting was made for about
100 feet westward to the east wall.
From there another drift followed
the lode for over 200 feet for the
purpose of draining. From the in
dicati )ns and the ore in sight it is
thought that even at this level fine
body Of good milling ore exists, and
of nature to satisfy all who have
examined it that permanent silver
bearing lode exists. This is strength
ened by the running out Of the red
ledge, as was the case with every
mine on the Comstock which has
proved rich. As it now stands, the
Kossuth shows better to-day than
it ever has, and is fully up to the
expectations of its most sanguine
friends,

The shaft is progressing rapidly,
having reached 1875 feet, but little
change being visible in the rock.
This stock is now on the board and
is in demand at $3.50 to So per
share. 1t is confidently expected
that the ore body will be struck in
this mine at less depth and ex-
pense than the Kossuth, as the fine
ore body OF that mine is directly
under their present line of opera
tions.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1876-03-02

The usual excellent progress is be-
ing made in sinking the shaft and
drifting, as before mentioned, outside
and parallel with the ledge. During
the past week 23 feet have been added
to the depth of the shaft, making a
total of ego feet. "a feet have been
addei to the south drift, 5o0-foot

SILVER HILL.


The progress in the incline is slow,
owing to the hard nature of the
rock, not over two feet per day being
made. There is also considerable
water. The east drift advances two
feet per day in fine-looking quartz.
The prosecuting from the winze near
the north line, between the 3D. and
4th level, is progressing well. The
water throughout the mine is about
the same rs at last report.

Last Monday a new station was
