PAID CASH FOR MINES.
Senator CIark's Representatives
Purchase r. A. Riepe's Inter-
est in Six Claims.
Properties Adioin Pilot Knob, on
Which Development Work Is
Now Being Done.
Sure Indie a tion That the Copper
Properties Are Fully Meet
ing Expec tations.

Joseph Giroux of Jerome, Arizona,
Superintendent of the big United
Verde mine at that place. and general
Superintendent of Senator Clark s
mining properties, J. A. Snedaksr of
Denver, chief of the Clark corps of
experts, and r. L. Giroux of the same
city, a prominent mining man and also
identified with Senator Clark S opera
tions, spent three days in Ely last week
examining the Pilot Knob and Cum
berland properties, which are under
bond to the Clark syndicate and on
which development work has been
prosecuted on large scale, and after
making a thorough examination of the
mines and inspecting the work which
has already been done, left for the
East on Saturday afternoon.
What their report will be is best
illustrated by the fact that just before
leaving here these gentlemen pur-
chased the interest of II. A. Riepe in
six claims adjoining the Pilot Knob,
paying spot cash for the same in the
sum of 80, 500.
The properties which Mr.. Riepe
turned over to them are as follows:
All of the Morris, three-fourths of the
Glory, one-half of the Jessie, one-half
of the West, one-half of the Redeemer,
al nd holf of hn IQiaha a,.1 fThaca
properties were bonded to the Clark
syndicate last fall, and according to
the terms of the agreement the bond
would expire in October next, but so
well satisfied were the experts that the
deal would be completed that they
took advantage of the opportunity to
secure them at this time and Mr..
Riepes interest in the properties were
transferred to them for the
Clark company. This fact in itself is
sufficient to show the faith of Senator
Clark's experts in their copper hold
ings at Ely, but it may be stated in
addition that the gentlemen, who rank
first in ability in their profession,
made no secret of the fact that they
were extremely well pleased with their
holdings here and the result of the
work which has been accomplished
thus far.
In proof of this it may be stated that
the development work on the proper
ties will go on, and that there may be
no delay on account of water another
large pump will be sent on at once,
which, with the one now in use, will
prevent any more Trouble from that
source for some time 10 come.

MINING NOTES.

The following rates are fixed for
treating ores at the custom reduction
mill at Republic, Wash: For ores
containing six-tenths of an ounce OF
gold or less per ton, 81 80; for ores
containing one and one-quarter ounces
OF gold per ton, $3.50; ores showing
values between these figures are
treated at proportionate rates. Set
Elements are made at 80 per cent of the
assay value on all ores containing an
ounce or more OF gold, and s. per cent
OF the assay value on all ores contain
ing less than an ounce, while so per
cent OF the silver values as shown by
the assay will be allowed. Seventy
five cents ton is charged for sampling
all ores.
AS showing some OF the many Incl
dents which tend to make the life of
an average miner interesting and ex-
citing the Pacific Coast Miner says;
Up In the Yukon they killed a wolf
and his hide assayed well from the
particles of gold worked into it, pre-.
sumably from constant rubbing against
rich quartz. An eager hunt for his
den began. In Arizona lives the
trading rat that always puts some
thing in the place OF the plunder it
steals. While robbing the camp of an
exploring scientist 1t put a piece of
rich gold quarts in place OF tallow
candle, which was worth the United
Verde to the rat, and now they are
ospecting for rats.

Of the Aultman, in which the rotting
timbers are crumbling away and as a
result the caving ground is fast oblit-
Grating the signs of what had been
done in the way OF developing the
mine.
1t would he strange indeed if such
valuable properties as these were al
lowed to stand for such a length of
time without someone attempting to
establish an adverse title thereto, but
it is a fact that on only two of the
number has any such attempt been
been, all the others remaining undis-
puted and awaiting to be claimed by
tho patent holders.
AS an evidences OF the Presidents
present interest in the prop
critics 1t may be added that he tele-
graphed B. l.. Smith OF the Eureka
County Bank, with whom he has had
considerable correspondence, to meet
him at San Francisco for the purpose
of consulting with him as to their future
management, and Mr.. Smith is now
there for that purpose.

Other Mining Deals.

BY reference to the list of instru-
ments filed for record in the Office of
NJ. B. Garaghan it will be seen that
the Messrs. Giroux and Snedaker, in
addition to the interests of r. A.
Riepe, also purchased the interest ol
Geo. F. Brandt in the Jessie, and that
Frank Paul has contract to purchase
the interests of E. o. Gonnor and Jesse
Coberly in the Redsemer, West and
Richard.
Just as The NEWS is going to press
the announcement is made that Frank
Paul has purchased the one-fourth in
terest of Enoch johnson in the Glory,
thus giving the Clark people complete
title to that property

ELY SHAFT GOING DOWN
The Improved Mill is Handling
Fifty Tons of Ore Daily.

Z. d. Il. Thompson of Salt Lake
City spent several days in Ely during
the past week looking over the proper
ty of the Ely Mining and Milling Com
pany, in which he is largely interested,
and left for home Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Thompson expressed himself as
being highly pleased with what he saw,
and is satisfied that mill more COM
plete than that of his company at this
place can not be found anywhere. 1t
was his intention to remain here for
ten days or more but he found every
thing in mine and mill running so
smoothly and satisfactorily that he
decided his presence was unnecessary.
Since the mill started up on We'd
nesday evening OF last week no trouble
whatever has been experienced and
daily, the product of which will de-
monstrats the wisdom OF making the
recent changes in the plant, and the
adding of the new machinery.
The returns from the next shipment
OF cyanides will be watched for with
interest.
One OF the most gratifying evidences
that the management is satisfied with
the property and the result of the
showing thus far made, is the fact that
1t has been decided to begin work at
once on the sinking OF the main shaft.
When distance of 100 feet below the
present level is reached drift will be
run, then the shaft will go down an
other hundred feet, and so on.
The company realizes that depth
must be attained before the main ore
bodies are reached, and while the out
put of the mine at the present time is
sufficient to meet requirements, still,
in order to insure permanent ore
supply to keep the mill in operation,
deep workings are a necessity.
With this end in view the sinking
of the shaft has been decided upon,
and it will 60 down Indefinitely until the
ore bodies are encountered.
Mr.. Thompson left Tuesday morn
ing for Salt Lake, and expects to re-
turn later in the Summer.

Wonderful Conner Deposits.

Superintendent L. c. Doty OF the
Ely Mining & Milling Company went
out last Monday in company with f.
D. r. Thompson and p. c. Weber to
visit the Pilot Knob and Copper Flat
properties Mr.. Doty, during the
years in which he has been engaged in
mining, has had large experience in
examining mining properties, but he
says that in all his travels he never
saw such wonderful copper deposits as
he beheld on Monday last at West
Camp. Mr.. Doty says there can be no
doubt as to Ely's future as copper
camp, and that the establishing of re-
duction works will follow as a matter
of course

Peculiar results are being obtained
IN some sections of the country by
people who have been experimenting
with the seeds sent out by the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
some sections housewives who had
prepared their flower beds with great
care and planted the Government seeds
according to instructions, were horri-
fled short time later at seeing
luxuriant crop of onions, lettuce, beets
and parsnips springing up in their
front yards, while market gardeners
were equally disgusted at beholding
modest violets and healthy-looking
poppies nourishirg where marketa BILE
vegetables should be growing, and
the protests which are pouring in at
the Department of Agriculture against
the perverseness of the seeds in re.
fusing to reproduce themselves, but
instead insisting upon bringing forth
articles of other species, has necessi-
tated the employment of number OF
extra clerks for the purpose OF ex-
planning that in these days of expan-
sion and prosperity, seeds are liable to
produce that which is most necessary
TO the welfare of the section in which
they are planted without regard to
the label on the package. The NEWS

these seeds, which it will be glad to
