JONES' COSTA RIGA MINES.
Valuable Gold Property Being De-
veIoped by Nevada's Senator.


The Virginia Chronicle is indebted
TO Mr.. w. S. James, the well-known
Gold Hill assayer and capitalist who
has returned to the Comstock after
years absence in Costa Rica testing
the mining property acquired there by
Senator John p. Jones, for the follow
ing information relating to that dis
tant equatorial region:
The property owned by Senator
Jones is grant from the government
OF that State and is located in the
mountain ranges twenty miles inland
from the coast, Puenta Arenas being
the nearest port. The property is
known as the Nina la Union and has
been prospected to depth OF $50 feet
below the surface. developing a vein
averaging from fifteen to twenty feet
in width, carrying gold values exclu-
siyely, the average being in the neigh
borhood OF $40 per ton.
A forty-stamp mill is being con-
structed near the mine to be operated
by water power OF which there is an
ample supply from mountain stream
in the vicinity OF the mine, that is
called creek in that region OF majestic
streams, but would be designated as a
river in any other country.
The mountain ranges are covered
from base to summit with forests that
are impenetrable on account of the
dense growth of brush. A force Of
about eighty men are employed in the
development of the Nina la Union
which will be materially increased
when the stamp mill is completed. A
majority OF the employees are natives.
The principal food is frijoles, tor
tillas, rice, eggs and beef, but no but
ter, the inhabitants being absolutely
ignorant of that dairy product. Mr..
James says that Charles Colburn,
John Dobie, NJ. p. Mcdonald, John
st. Pierre and other Comstock miners,
who were sent there by Senator Jones,
are apparently satisfied with their
new home, the climate in the noun
tain range where they are located be-
ing salubrious and not oppressively hot,
notwithstanding that Costa Rica's
most northern boundary is only eleven
degrees north d the equator. MIR.
James expects to return there on a
visit during the present year.

A wooIen Mil at Reno.

The Journal says certain capitalists
have presented proposition to build a
woolen mill in Reno. These parties
ask for bonds on Washoe county for
$40, 900, the same to be redeemed by
1000 pairs of wooden blankets at $40
per pair, to be manufactured by the
mill within five wears. Should the
county desire to assist in the enter
prise an effort will be made to lease
the old State prison walls for twenty
five years, the same to be used in
building the mill.

Lincoln County Mine sold.

The Pioche Record says: Addison
Bybee of Chicago, has purchased the
Great Eastern and Vesuvius mining
claims, situated in Bristol mining dis
trict, and we are informed that the
consideration was $4,000. II ia the
intention to develop these properties
and work is now going on. There are
five men working on the Great East
ern now. and as soon as the prelimin-
airy work is completed it is the inten-
ton to increase the force. The prop
erty in years past has been prolific

HooIey Paving the Way.

The fall OF the great speculator,
Ernest Terah Hooley, is exciting a
good deal OF interest in England. 1t is
estimated that since March, 1896, the
cash considerations received by Mr..
Hooley from the companies he has
floated amounted to close upon thirty
five millions OF dollars, and this with
out reckoning share-holdings, some OF
which went to high premium. Eight
of Hooley's promotions have under
gone a depreciation of more than
eighteen millions OF dollars. From the
Dunlop Company alone he made a
cash profit OF ten millions of dollars.
The failure OF Mr.. Hooley recalls to
mind his recent present of gold plate
to st. Paul's Cathedral. The dean and
chapter OF st. Paul's were considered
as lacking in Judgment in accepting
such a gift from man who induced
the public to give millions more for his
various companies than they were
worth. The plate in question is irrev-
erently known as vessels of the Hoo
ley Communion Service"

NEVADA NEWS ITEMS.

Quite a number Of men have been
laid off at the Dexter mines at Tusca-
rora in the past few days. The draft
is thought to be only temporary.
The Ormsby county Grand Jury in
it's final report filed last week, ignores
the charges and counter charges OF
corruption during the late campaign
in that county.

Ormsby county, on Wednesday OF last
week, Mrs. George Cagwin and Ed.
Vanderleith captured the cake.
slaughtering wild horses for their
hides, names and tallow is one of the
industries of eastern Nevada counties.
The tallow secured is said to make a
fair article OF creamery butter. or oleo-

At a meeting held in the Senate
chamber at Carson one evening last
week for discussing the irrigation
question, General Clarke said that by
water storage and other systems 6,000,-
900 acres OF desert land can be brought
under cultivation.
The Journal believes it shifts a
scheme in the bill to be introduced in
the Legislature authorizing the citizens
Of Reno to vote on the proposition to
purchase the works of the water and
electric light company, as a covert
measure to disincorporate that city.
The Wadsworth Dispatch in com
menting on the proposition to bond
Washoe county for $4,000 to build a
WOODEN mill in Reno, says: "What
Reno wants most is factory to con-
vert the gall Of its leading citizens
and legislative delegation into some
useful commodity.

Mr.. McGlashan, a pioneer resident
OF Truckee, CAL, has received permis-

Can Cabans Govern themselves

One of the best known diplomatists
recently declared that the Cubans are
incapable of governing themselves,
and that the United States must main
tain its present control indefinitely,
or else annex the island. There will
be those who will dispute this, but
there are none who dispute the well
established fact that Hostetter's Stom-

common diseases OF the stomach. 1t
is remedy that is backed by fifty

WITH THE FALL OF THE GAVEL.
Trouble Again Made It's Appearance in the Kentucky Democratic
 state Convention.

Louisville, Ky, June21.- Trouble be- gan with the fall of the gavel at to- day session of the Democratic state convention, the beginning of the sec ol.d week of it's labors. In respect to uproarious disorder it outdid itself, though it had reasonably good rec ord for lack of accord. When the ses- siCn began a demand was made for tha removal of the police who had been present since the disturbance caused on Friday by outsiders. The chair ruled it out of order. and refused to recognize an appeal. For hours the crowd yelled and sang in q very eff fectual effort to prevent q csntinua- ton of the balleting for governor.
 The demonstration on the whole Was goodhumored, but determined. Only once or twice was ill-huuor dis played, but one of these, the occasion be.ng the election of disorderly del. egate, came near resulting seriously.
