S2O.67 AN OUNCE.
The Fine Gold in $40 Piece Is
Worth $I9. 1892.

Both in Ely and at Cherry Creek
during the past week the question as
to value of gold has oceasioned much
discussion, and on more than one oe-
casion the disputants have wagered
cash and other things on their knowl-
edge.
At the United States mint gold is
computed at $40. .671s34625 per troy
ounce, this value being established from
the weight of gold 800 fine, which is
the standard fixed by law for gold
coins. On this subject the Pacific Coast
Miner, published at San Francisco,
says:
"For all ordinary purposes $20.67 is
taken as the value of an ounce of fine
gold. Standard gold is worth S1S. .6046
per ounce. A gold dollar contains %. %
grains of fine gold, and 2.5S grains OF
alloy; total 25.S grains. A double
eagle weighs 5l6 grains and contains
494 grains of fine gold, and Gle of cop
per. The fine gold in a S20 piece is
worth sl9.9992, The alloy combined
with 81 ounces of gold at the Mint Is
worth cents.

FLOOD AT COPPER FLAT.
Narrow Escape of Three Men In
the Shaft.

On Monday afternoon heavy down.
pour of rain in the vicinity of Copper
Flat sent deluge of water down the
valley, and in the space of few min
utes steady stream of water was
pouring down the shaft, at the foot OF
which Supt. Jos. Bray was examining
the pump, and Silvey Harrington and
Joe Nelson were at work.
So rapidly did the water pour in that
the men at the bottom became alarmed,
but when the signal was given to hoist
it was found the steam had gone down
to such an extent that the engine could
not raise their weight. Mr.. Bray
climbed the cribbing to the 170-foot
level, and in a few moments, after
the pump had been thrown off, the
engine began working, and the three
men were brought to the surface.
The shaft filled up for a distance of
about twenty-five feet, and after the
storm had subsidized Superintendent
Bray was obliged to dive or sink be-
meath several fathoms of water in order
to start the pump. BY pumping and
bailing the shaft has since been cleaned
of its accumulation of water and mud,
but the men who were at the bottom
will long remember the incident as one
of the most thrilling of their lives.

THE SAPHO GROUP.
Assays from the Bobtail Show
Good Coppep Values.

At the time of his recent visit to Ely
Frank E. Wilson secured number of
ore samples, among which were several
from the Bobtail, one of the Sapho
group of claims, and on his return to
Salt Lake City had them assayed, the
result being shown by the following
from the Tribune of August 81
From tine properties of the Sapho
Mining company at Ely New, comes
the news OF most important strike in
the tunnel across the hill from the
original workings, the samples of ore
accompanying the superintendent re-
port showing a fine quality of copper
carbonates that, under the fire, yester-
day yielded as much as 21 IS per cent
in the red metal. OF this class of ore
Frank E. Wilson local manager for the
company, reports from fifteen inches
to two feet, the streak occurring in a
vein no less than ten feet between walls,
with a carbonate of iron as a gangue.
1t is the intention of the management
TO sink upon the new chute, believing
that with depth the sulphides will be
encountered and foundation laid for a
pyritic smelter. In the workings the
management is now accomplishing most
favorable results, and the Sapho. which
is controlled by Salt Lake talent, should
soon be added to the producers.

A. T.. STEARNS RESIGNS.
And Neil Munro Is Appointed to
Succeed Him.


At the meeting of the Board OF Coun.
ty Commissioners on Monday last A.
T. Stearns handed in his resignation as
District Attorney and ex-officio County
Superintendent of Schools of White
Pine county to take effect at once, and
on motion it was accepted.
The Board thereupon appointed Neil
Munro to succeed him, and the new Of
fetal Immediately took the oath of Of
fee and filed his bond with w. N. Me-
Gill and w. B. Graham as sureties.
Without any delay Mr.. Munro ap-
pointed Mr.. Stearns as his deputy, and
the Board proceeded with the business
of the session with the old official as its
legal advisor.
To those who do not understand the
reasons for this action the resignation
of Mr.. Stearns and his immediate ap-
pointment as deputy to perform the
duties of the Office may seem strange,
but the matter is easily explained. AS
provided by the Statutes the District
Attorney of this county has received
only 5000 a year for his services; but
the last Legislature passed an Act in
creasing this to $500 per annum from
and after January /, 1903 The same
act provided, however, that in case OF
a vacancy occurring in the Office during
the present term the official to be ap-
pointed shall receive the compensation
provided for by the new law. Thus, 1t
will be seen, a vacancy has occurred
and hereafter the salary OF the Office
will be $500 per year.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
MINES WHICH DID NOT PAY.

The great drawback to the success
of many mining enterprises in the west,
after properties had passed into the
hands OF Eastern corporations, has
been the almost total lack OF business
ability in the management OF their af-
fairs. The same careful attention to
details Is necessary in conducting the
affairs OF mining companies as exper-
ience has shown Is essential In the
management OF other business ventures,
and it Is gratifying TO note that this
fact is being recognized by the men
who at the present time are investing
their money In mining enterprises in
Nevada. The fact that the capital of
a company is $1,000, 900 instead OF 81
600, and the profits on the investment
promise to be five hundred per cent in
stead OF twenty five, is no excuse for
the reckless and unthinking expendi-
ture OF money, either in the operating
OF the mine or the handling OF the ores

taken without first counting its cost
and the effect which IL will have on
other improvements which must nee
eessarily follow, and the strictest econ
omy in the handling OF all mine pro-
ducts should be the object in view. III
this policy had beon adopted years ago
In the management OF mining enter
prises, there are scores of properties
now lying idle in other sections less
favored by nature than White Pine
county, which would now be in full
operation, instead OF standing as they
do, silent monuments Ito the folly and
lnefficiency of incompetent officers,
whose only recommendation for APP
pointment to the responsible positions
they held was that they had. "a pull
with certain influential stockholders or
their friends.
Millions of dollars have been expen-
dsd In mining operations in the West,
the only remaining evidences OF which
are the decaying ruins of milling plants
aud deserted holes in the ground.
These are pointed out to the curious
visitor or the prospective investor OF
the present time; and II questions are
asked, the lnyarIab BILE reply is, "oh, it

OScEoLA MINES MORTGAGED.
The facts Connected With the
Transac tion Are Not Known.

The executing of mortgage for sl3, :
965 by the Cumberland & Osceola Gold
Mining & Milling Company on their
mining properties at Oseeola within
the past few days is of more than pas
sing interest to the people of this county
and may mean the investment of con-
siderable money in the development of
the mine, or possibly the installing Of
new plant. This mortgage is given
to secure the payment of promissory
note, dated July /, 1901, due FIVE
months after date. 1t was signed at
Boston by VIM. J Rounds as President,
and Jeremiah II. Pote, Treasurer, and
is approved by w. J. Rounds, L. C.
Bates, J. B. Peacock, George H. Per-
kins,, John d. Parker, and J. II. Pote,
the Board of Directors. The mortga-
gees are George H. Perkins of Boston
and T.. G. Bates of Cambridge, Mass,
who are also members of the Board of
Directors.

the ordinary channels OF trade. Mr..
Cannon has been eminently successful
in his mining operations, and before
many months pass by he will be able to
retire, II he is so disposed, with a COM
Portable fortune.
But Mr.. Cannon experience is only
one of score of instances which might
be mentioned in support of Cherry
Creeks claim to being "a poor man S
camp" w. A. Watson, the owner of
the Joana mine at Cocomongo, is
opening up property which is second
to none in the production of the yell
low metal. A bar of gold shipped by
Mr.. Watson to Mccormick & Co., the
Salt Lake bankers about ten days ago,
was sold on the market at S20. 40 per
ounce, or within 27 cents of the price
of the pure metal. This, it is believed,
is the highest price ever paid for mill
product, and this fact will have its ef-
feet in advertising the richness of the
camp to the world.
The property of the Gold Nugget
Minining Company under the manage
ment OF w. B. Lawlor is also develop
ing into a valuable mine as is shown by
the fact that Mr.. Lawlor, during the
past fortnight, anticipated the bond on
the property, and bought the intesest
of the owners for cash. This, with
the property of A. Foppiano, which has
already yielded several thousand dol
lars, and a score of others within a
radius OF a few miles of Cherry Creek,
will be more fully described in later
issue of the NEWS.
Cherry Creek in the past enjoyed
full share of prosperity, with which
later years have mingled full compile
ment of adversely, but with the valu-
able mining properties adjacent, and
the rare opportunities which are Of
fered for the Investment of capital, the
camp will IN the near future gain more
than it has lost, aud Cherry Creek will
again take place in the front rank of
Nevada's prosperous mining districts.

Copper in large quantities is produced
only in the United States says the
New York Sun, and while the product
has increased about one.third since
1894, the supply has not kept pace with
the demand. Next to silver, copper is
the best conductor OF heat and electric
ity, and with the vast development of
the telegraph and telephone systems
and the new use OF electricity to trans
NIT power and thus supplant the horse
and the steam engine, the demand for
the metal steadily grows. Germany's
consumption OF copper for example in
creased eighty per cent in eight years,
owing to her great use of electricity.

PLYING USEFUL AND EXPEN-.
SIVE LIBRARIES
SIXTY WE'LL BOUND VOLUMES
Books May Be Taken Home for
Reading-Cost Will he About
$9O,OOO-Gift Is APP
preciated.

In deciding to equip all it's principal Of
fees with comprehensive and useful if
somewhat small libraries. the Wells-Far-
go company has embarked upon an I'M
dertaking, the magnitude or Importance
Of which is not appreciated by many of
those who have read of the matter
In the first place, about !, G007offices are
to be equipped, from Mexico in the
South, Bangor, Me-, in the East, and Sc
attic in the West. The Twin City offices
are the two principal ones to be supplied
in the Northwest.
The library comprises about sixty vol
umes, all in, the most expensive and
durable bindings, a sectional bookcase
with a sliding glass toFsi inchlded. This
case is made of antique oak and is sup
piled with brass fittings, and in whole
sale quantities cannot cost less than $40
each.
The library itself is compact and con-
tains the greatest amount of information
and literature that can be crowded into
the number lof volumes provided. It is
made uplof the Standard dictionary, the
Century Atlas, volume containing 100,-
600 synonyms and antonyms, Bartlett's
standard work on familiar quotations,
the Bible, Temples Shakespeare in forty
volumes, Hayden's dictionary of dates
and ShakeSpearean concordance, .Lipptn-
colts Biographical Dictionary, and the
Century Magazine and the Review of
Reviews monthly.
1t will be seen from the above that
the whole library will cost at least $50
per set, and 1000 of them will necessitate
an expenditure of about 100000, which is
a large sum for any company to expend
purely for the advantage and convenience
of it's employees.
These libraries are to be sent to every
office at which there is a wagon delivery
service and the employees are to be al
lowed to take the books with them for
reading at home. Many of them who
are studiously inclined will enjoy an OPP
portunity to store their minds with use
full information, and in addition they
may become deeply versed in Shak
ian lore, for the Temple edition of the
works of the bard of Avon is about the
best that can be obtained.
In Rochester, N. Y, the Office staff has
already organized a, library association
with regularly elected officers. The OBJ
1ect of the body is to supplement the
thoughtful generosity of the firm, and
add to the books as time and means af-
ford opportunity. The same idea will
probably be adopted in most of the other
offices, among which the st. Paul divis-
ion will no doubt be one of the first.
The books and case were unpacked yes
terday and admired by the staff.
