PAL.GSADE,
A New N Important Impetus 90
Mining and other Business.


A New and Important Impetus. 90
Mining and other Business.
The following letter from an occasional
correspondent at Palisade will be read with
interest:
ED. SENTINEL: This Winter Palisade,
at the junction Of the G. p. Il. II. and the
e.. d 2. Narrow-guage Railroad, has re-
ceived a new impetus to its business in
terest by the erection of one of the finest
and best equipped Acton smelters in the
State. The machinery was manufactured
by the Colorado Machinery Company of
Denver, Colorado, and is complete in all
Its parts.
The works are located in one OF the
most commanding and convenient posi-
tions on a side hill, handy to both the
broad and narrow-guage railroads, within
200 feet of the Humboldt river, from
which they draw their supply. Of water.
This furnace is a private enterprise,
owned and run by Benz. W. Goodhue and
Joseph Schroeder, two enterprising bust.
ness men of Chicago, who have lone more
to advertise the mineral resources of this
section than any other parties living out
side Of the State.
This enterprise was in full bloom be-
fore anyone Of our people knew it was
contemplated to erect a furnace here, and
the first warning we received was the
landing of two carloads of smelling ma
chinery, and We now learn that the firm
Of Goodhue q Schroeder have been at work
quietly prospecting and controlling good
properties of smelling ores in different
parts Of the State wherever convenient to
railroad transportation and handy for
shipment to this place.
With no flourish of trumpets or preten-
sions they have come and put up their
plant and are now making other additions
to their works.
John T. Reece, an old and experienced
smelter, is the Superintendent of the
furnace, with a force Of experienced fur
nacemen under him. II is supposed that
this firm intend TO handle copper ores at
this point. and though we are unable to
divine the motives and intentions Of these
gentlemen, we can see plainly that this is
but the commencement Of what they con-
template erecting here. We hear from
different points where they are gathering
up ores and taking their own ores with
which to supply this plant.
Their quiet movements are the general
comment OF the towns people and there
is Q rumor that they have arranged for
some kind of chemical and reduction
works being erected here.
All our people hail with pleasure these
newcomers, for such enterprises and
energetic men are what u county and
State want to revive her business interests
and mines.
The time is past when our people should
look upon Eastern capitalists as victims
to sell a good prospect TO and then have
them go and do their mining in some
office East.
We want just such men as Goodhue and
Schroeder, who will come in with ma
chinery and locate in the midst of our
base metal ranges, and make them useful
to themselves and to our county and
State.
The mines Of Stafford, Schroeder and
every other district in our vicinity will be
benefited by this enterprise, and we wish
that we had more Of them.

BULLION DISTRICT.
A Big Strike and the Prospect Very
Bright.

Bright.
The Battle Mountain Messenger learns
that everything is looking we'll in Bullion.
A big strike has been made in the Silver
side mine, owned by James Campbell,
which promises to yield a good income to
the owner. The Bullion mill is running
steadily on rock from the company's mine.
McKitrick and Pugh are taking out some
good rock from the Buckeye, and are con-
fdent that they have as good a poor mans
mine as there is in the State. Nealin,
George Hicks, Henry Holland and George
Wheeler, are at work developing the Last
Chance. which promises to be a good
property and one which will reward the
owners for the labor and money expended.
Bullion is one of those mining camps
that stand on their merits. The majority
Of the mines have paid from the begin
ming. There has never been any great
amount of capital expended in the devel-
opment Of the mines, the most of the
mine owners being poor men, who have
been compelled to make their prospects
pay from the beginning or abandon them.
With q little capital Bullion would become
u of the first mining camps in Nevada,
and were il in Idaho or Arizona, it would
be talked of by the press as a great dis
covery. We have no doubt that Bullion
has more real merit to-day than the Ceur
d'Alene and many other camps a distance
off which are being sought after by so
many people.

ology of Eureka District.
We are much indebted to j. P. Curtis
f"Sam" Of ours) for an abstract in
pamphlet form, Of his forthcoming report
on the mining, geology and silver-lead
DEPOSITS Of Eureka District, Nevada. 1t is
an eztrac. from the annual report Of the
Director Of the United States Geological
Survey, 1928. In his letter of trans
initial to the Director, Hon. j. w. Powell,
Prof. G.. +. Becker, Geologist in charge
in tho field OF the division in which Eureka
District is embraced, says: "Mr. Curtis
has completed q long and anxious study OF
the deposits Of the Eureka mines, etc. /
have spent some time in the mines with
him, and have been convinced OF the
cogency Ct the evidence which has led him
to the views be maintains. For these / am
necessarily in part responsible, but the
credit belongs entirely to him. Mr. Cur
is monograph to be entitled 1.-THE Mining
Geology Oithe Eureka District"will BIO ready
for The press about the close OF the Sum-
nsr Of 1883. 1t will be accompanied by
An atlas, showing the claims of the district
and large number Of geological sections
through the Mines"
The pamphlet contains, besides Prof.
Becker's letters of transmittal, a general
outline Of Eureka District; the structure
o. Prospect Mountain; the structure Of
Buby Hill; the occurrence Of the ore; the
ore and the future OF Ruby Hill. 1t is
Illustrated with photographic plates in
colors, making it q most interesting and
highly instructive description of the
geology and mineralogy OF the Eureka
District.

II,ega, Fencing of U. 8. Land.

am satisfied, says the Commissioner OF
Public Lands in a report TO the Senate,
from the information received that the
practice of illegally enclosing the public
lands is extensive throughout the grazing
regions, and that many millions of acres
are thus enclosed and are now being so
enclosed, to the exclusion Of the stock of
all others than the fence owners, and to
the prevention of settlements and the
obstruction of public travel.
In Kansas whole counties are fenced in.
In other Western States as many as
1000, 900 acres are reported fenced in by
one cattle man. In Nevada William
Humphrey is charged with fencing in 30
miles and Nelson d Son % miles.

Ysleta, the Oldest Town I'm the
United States.

The Oldest town in Texas, and, il is be-
lieved, in the United States, is Ysleta,
situated on the Rio Grande, and near Ell
Psso, the chief town in the county of that
name. 1t has a population of $500 souls.
The place is one of peculiar interest, alike
from its age, its people, its. architecture.
its agriculture, and its general products.
1t is a well-established historical fact that
a Spanish military explorer named Oorando
visited the town in 1910, and found it then
a popular and prosperous civilized Indian
community. He was Immediately followed
by the Franciscan Friars, who erected a
church and established schools. Ysleta is
believed to have been a considerable center
of population centuries before the visit of
Corando. 1t is not a little curious, con-
sidering the advance of civilization from
Europe, that the same race Of people exist
in the town to-day that existed $50 years
ago, and that they are engaged in the same
agricultural and mechanical pursuits as
their forefathers at that period and for
ages preceding.

Rossini's Play ON Words.

Feb. 20 was the anniversary Of Rossini's
birthday, who, Of course, had a birthday
only every four years, which made him
ask a young lady who dined with him on
Feb. 80, 1864, and whose nineteenth birth
day was the day before, "Who is, in your
opinion, younger-a man who celebrates
his eighteenth anniversary or a young lady
who celebrates her nineteenth birthday ?"
When she said the young man of the
eighteenth anniversary, he replied, "Well.

am younger than you. You said SO your

that she came here at the request Of
Sharon, who, through a third party, sent
her a check for $500. She didn't know if
she and her husband were to pay their W

the Seventy-eighth New York Regiment,
residing in Denver, Col, testified that he
heard Miss Hill say in the beginning of
May, 1881, that Sharon wanted to marry
her, but she didn't want to marry him; he
was too old. If she did marry him it
would be in the Fall, and she would send

She said he would settle $500, 900 and the
