COPPER SULPHIDES
IN THE SAxT0N
Mckinley Mining and Smelling
Company Properties Are Exc
ceedine Expectations.
At a Depth OF 27O Feet the Look
ed for SuIphides Are Bn-
countered.
Drift Will Be Started From
800 Level in About Three
Weeks.
Action of the Water Changes Tin
TO Bright Copper
Color.

Yesterday morning the shaft In the
Sax ,on had reached depth of 270 feet
and here the ledge containing the look
ed for copper sulphides was encoun-
tered. As is frequently the case an
iron Gaping was cut on passing
through the limestone and associated
with this is to be seen the genuine cop
per sulphides, mingled with copper
glance. On striking the ledge the In
flow of water increased perceptibly,
and instead OF one bucketful an hour
being lifted, which has been the aver
age for some time, last night 1t was
necessary to raise four. This viii me-
cessitate the putting in of another
pump without delay, but instead Of be-
ing disappointment the appearance
OF the water is looked upon with Joy,
as it goes to prove the permanency Of
the mineral deposits.
AS showing the presence of copper at
that level the interesting discovery has
been made that ve-gallon can, which
has been used in baling the water from
the shaft, has changed within the past
few days to bright copper color, and
would be mistaken by anyone for q
genuine copper vessel.
As soon as the see-ievei is reached IL
is the intention of Manager McGin to
drift out in the direction where the rich
native copper deposits we're encounter.
ed on the level above, and there is no
longer doubt that the sulphides which
were first shown there, will open up In
an ore body of large dimensions.
This practically settles the future of
the Saxton as copper mine. and it will
not be long before the company will
find it necessary to install reduction
plant to handle its output.
In addition to the copper the mag.
niicent showing of gold ore in the Sax.
ton proves it to be remarkable prop
erty. The ore body cut by the drift
to the Mcdonald shaft shows height
of fifteen feet, and how far 1t extend
upwards and downwards cannot be es-
timated. It is now opened up for 9
distance of 239 feet to the south, while
Its course to the north evidently ex-
tends past the boundary line. When
it is understood that the average gold
value of this ore body is between 81
and sSa ton, with every promise that
this will increase with depth, some
idea of what the Saxton is to produce
may be arrived at, but anything like
an estimate of the ore in sight would
be difficult to prepare.
In the Aultman the new drift on the
300 level is now in fifty feet. and II
is hoped that sinking will be resumed
shortly.

PATENT YOUR CLAIMS.
Eastern Investors Now Insist Up
on Perfect Titles.

Edward A. Belcher, writing to the
Mining and Engineering Review, says
Those Of your readers who are mine
owners will probably be interested to
know that Eastern capitalists will not
purchase an unpatented mine. Time
was when mere location (annual labor
having been done1 was a satisfactory
title TO the purchaser, but that time
has gone to return no more. In sew
eral instances where | have attempted
to dispose OF unpatented mining prop
critics in the East for clients in the West
have failed, where otherwise every
thing was satisfactory, on the sole
ground that the title did not rest on
a United States patent. Subsequently
I was instructed to institute patent
proceedings, and ultimately the prop
critics will be disposed OF to the very
persons who had previously rejected
them. Many miners believe that their
location constitutes a sufficient title 30
long as they perform their annual Ia
Dor; no doubt it does as between them.
selves and the Government or a tres
passer, but buyers will no longer take
such titles. The fact that attorneys
for Eastern purchasers will no longer
pass title TO unpatented mines, no mat
ter how long they have been worked
or how valuable they are, should be
generally known, My advice would be
that every mine owner get patent for
his mine. lis not very expensive

A Rocco-Homestake Suit.

Carson News: The creditors of the
estate of John NJ. Clarke, through their
attorney, James G. Sweeney, filed q
plea in Intervention in the case OF Ida
X. Clarke VS.. the Eureka County Bank,
in the United States Court at Carson.
Ida X. Clarke, as a citizen OF Oregon,
commenced suit recently for the recov-
cry OF SIS, 900 against the Eureka Bank,
alleged to be the proceeds of one-half
interest in the Rocco Homestake mine
in White Pine county, belonging to her.
The creditors contend that the assign.
ment of the one-half interest of r. M.
Clarke to his wife was void as against
creditors, and pray that the proceeds
sued for by plaintiff be declared the
property of the estate OF Robert M.
Clarke, and that thep may recover the

MIR. Murphy Is Convinced That

NJ. A. Murphy, one OF the stock / old
ers and directors of the Ely Mining and
Milling Company, spent few days In
Ely this week and left yesterday for
his home in Salt Lake City. While
here Mr.. Murphy not only examined
his own company's property, bnt also
took occasion to visit the other mines
which are now being developed here,
and went away with the conviction
that the only thing necessary to put
the Ely Mining and Milling Company's
property on par with the best Is
greater depth. This is the sentiment
which THE NEWS has expressed sever
al times during the last few months
and it is to be hoped the company will
act on Mr.. Murphy's advice and go In

HYPNOTIC CURES.
Result of Experiments In an English
Insane Asylum.

London Hospital.
In lecture delivered before the Kings
well gave an interesting sketch of the SUBJ
ject of hypnotism Describing the expert
ments of Florel, who till recently was
medical director of the Burghol Asylum
and one OF the professors of the University
of Zurich. he said that he succeeded in
hypnotizing nearly all his asylum attend
ants, both male and female, large pro-
portion or them becoming profound SOM
nambules. For ten years experiments were
made in regard to the use of hypnotism in
the night watching of dangerous lunatics.
Warders were hypnotized and trained to
sleep by the bedside of these patients and
to awake the instant they heard them at
tempt to get out of bed the hypnotic sug-
gestion being made use of to inhibit all
sounds, which had no reference to the duty
laid upon them, and it was found that war
oers so hypnotized could perform night
duty for six months and work hard all
day without showing signs of fatigue. The
results of these experiments were, 1t is said,
uniformly successful, and no accident of
any kind occurred.
In regard to this and other applica lions
of hypnotism DR.. Bramwell refers to the
method of Wetterstrand, who, instead of re-
stricting himself to suggestions made in
the course of a short hypnotic trance, advo-
Gated the use of the curative effects of pro-
longed hypnotic sleep wetterstrand treat
ed epilepsy and grave forms of nervous dis
order by keeping the patients in the hyp-
motto trance for three or four weeks. With
out rousing them the patients were fed at
stated intervals, and the action of the bow
els and bladder were regulated by sugges-
ton, and thus mental as well as physical
rest was given, In addition to such thera-
peutic advantages as might be gained by
aid or suggestion.
DR.. Milne Bramwell says that although
everyone cannot be deeply hypnotized, pro-
found states are not necessary for the sue
cessful employment of suggestion and the
number of persons insusceptible to some
degree of hypnotic influence is extremely
small. Among the diseases he gives the
following as those in which hypnotism has
given good results: "Hysteria, neurasthen-
la, dipsomania, and other drug habits, OBJ
sessions, moral perversities and nervous
tricks in children" We may add that, as
far as the treatment of dipsomania is con-
cerned, il seems not entirely impossible that
some of the startling results which are
said to have been obtained al certain insti-
tutions for the treatment of this condition
may have been the outcome of an unac-
knowledged but none the less effectual ap-
plication of hypnotic suggestion.

SHOW OF BRONCHO RIDERS
NEW FEATURE OF ENTERTAINMENT
OF FESTIVAL WEEK.
Conditions Under Which the Cowboys
Ride and the Ponies Buck-Char-
acteristics of Bronchos.

Two afternoons of festival week will be
given to the broncho riding tournament to
be held in the horse show arena. This
feature of entertainment is new to Indian
apolis, as it is to every other city in the
world except some of the larger places i'm
the far West. Such tournament requires
a display of equestrian skill that is of the
highest order. The cowboys who are en-
tered to ride do not know which of the
ponies he will get in the allotment, and he
does not find out until the pony is roped
and saddled for him in the arena. The cow
boys enter themselves for the purpose of
competing in riding; the ponies are entered
by ranchmen who believe they cannot be
ridden; consequently, these two hostile ele-
ments meeting makes. a remarkable per-
Torrance. The ponies that are selected are
from the entrances made by the larger
ranches from the West, particularly from
New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado and Ida
no, and include the worst buckers that
showed at the Denver tournament this last
week. The group that comes here comes
largely as a matter of pleasure, showing
here two days during next week and two
days at Kansas City the following week,
and then returning direct to Denver. The
bronchos are all green and extremely diff
cult to manipulate. The cowboys are re-
quired to mount under difficulties and resist
the severest efforts of the ponies to throw
them. There are all styles of bucking
horses. and some with most vicious pro-
pensities will attempt to tear rider from
the saddle with their teeth. These charac-
teristics do not develop in pony sometimes

made to ride him. Others attempt to re-
lieve themselves of their burden by rolling
over. by running against obstacles and run
ming under projections at high speed. AS
against these dangers many cowboys are
able to successfully stick to the backs of
the bronchos, some even going so far as
to remove their feet from the stirrups,
throw their hands in the air and maintain
an equilibrium on the saddle In spite of the
most frantic efforts of the broncho. Some
have even been known to rise to their feet
in the saddle without being thrown. The
rules governing such contests are interest
ing. Among them are the following:
CONDITIONS GOVERNING RIDERS.
A rider will be considered on his horse
when he has one foot in the sSrrrup, and
as soon as the other foot leaves the ground
to mount A man who is testing his
horses mettle by placing his weight on
his stirrup and lifting the other foot from
the ground without attempting to get into
the saddle, will not be'considered as having
attempted to mount. The judges shall

of a man who devotes himself TO six or

and it is, therefore, only short step from
sulen idiocy to actual crime. The records
of the past fortnight show that there have
been twenty murders in London. In addi-

suicides, making altogether an extraor-

these tragedies range from members of the

The progress of President Roosevelt

by the average Englishman as the very
republican force. Beside, the newspapers
have of late taken to chronicling most of
his acts, adding thereto every possible pic

been presented to the British public In
