Chris Matson and Harry Meads,
with three other owners, have a
good showing near the southern end
of the mountain ridge which culmin-
ates on the north, in Lone Mountain.
The place is thirty.six miles from
Tonopah and twenty miles this side
of Silver Peak They have four good
claims on the central ledge. On one,
the Silver King, samples taken from
an l8-inch ledge, occurring in lime
and porphyry formation, show assays
ranging from $50 to $500 and $685.

quired by new mining company or
gained under the incorporation laws
of Arizona, under the name of the
Eclipse Tonopah. Their principal of

MINING OUTLOOK.

A fair consideration of known facts
leads irresistably TO the conclusion
that the coming season will prove one
of unexampled activity for the great
mining region of which Tonopah forms
the center. Undoubtedly a majority
of the companies which are now
piercing the mineralized zone VIII
develop ore in quantities sufficient to
prove paying operations. When an
ore body is opened on this belt there
is never question about it being
rich enough to pay, the district IN
this important particular being one
of the most remarkable ever DIS
covered. A continuous, energetic
plan of development has been deter
mined upon, despite unfavorable con
ditions of financial affairs in Eastern
monetary circles. And the late
strikes upon ground distant from
the mother vein, where the mineral
outcrop is obscured by later forma-
tions, certainly offer all the encourage
ment required by even the most con
sentative of mining capital. Every
foot gained in shaft or crosscut adds
proportionately to mining knowledge,
the possession of which augments
desire to reach and explore existing
mineral laden ground. Locally the
ores are as free to yield their precious
metals as any rock ever extracted.
The year will witness the installation
of reduction works, thus bringing
home the immense industry which
Tonopah now supports abroad. The
true interests of mine-owners are
not conserved by lavish waste OF
money in the transportation OF ores
TO outside buyers or reducers. A

close at hand, will prove prime
factor in prosperous 1903.
Attracted, of course, by the
enormous mining wealth developed
in this district, large numbers of
prospectors are gathering on sur
rounding fields, diligently searching
mountain and canyon, in many
instances finding values in properties
long since abandoned Changed con
ditions and improved methods are
responsible for the renewal of effort,
but the main impetus is gained from
the fact that new and better informed
men than those of old are doing it.
We are among the believers that,
great as they are, there are other
Tonopahs and Comstocks, and that
during tne present revival of gold
and silver mining they will be found
in this section of Nevada.

Property Valuations.

The State Board of Equalization,
comprising the county assessors of
the State. held a session last,week at
Carson, completing their labors by
the establishment of values for pur-
poses of taxation for 1904, as fol-
lows. Southern Pacific railroad,
$l5, 900 per mile; Carson and Color
ado, $26, 900. The latter is a raise
of 81, 900 per mile over the value
placed upon it last year The value
upon which taxes will be laid upon
the S. p. remains the same as last
year. OF course, attorneys for the
great corporation were present,
and the final vote ON the question
of a raise was defeated by an eight
to-seven proposition. The valuation
of live stock was settled upon as fol-
lows Stock cattle at $l7 per head,
with the exception of Nye. Lincoln
and White Pine counties, where they
will be valued at SIG. Beef cattle,

WORK EXPECTED.

The people of Nevada expect the
pending session of the legislature to
get down TO business and hard work
as speedily as possible. There are
imperative laws on the books that
ought to be cleared off. All good
measures can be digested and passed
with reasonable degree OF speedi-
ness just as well as to subject them
to unnecessary delay,
Preliminary frivolties, including
the election of Newlands, may be
reasonably expected, but the public
would like to see them cut short. If
the session can be concluded without
the appearance Of cinch bills, most
constituencies will feel disposed to
continue their represt natives in
office, provided the majority of item
change politics in the meantime.

Peter Samuelson has installed a
tri-weekly stage between Tonopah
and Silver Peak, carrying mail and
passengers. The need of such line
has been apparent for long time
and its establishment will greatly

Needed Mail Routes.

A petition is being signed by every
body asking the postal department
to establish mail route between
Tonopah and Silver Peak. The two
points are now by far the most i'm
portant in western central Nevada
The business and travel going on be-
tween these places must be enhanced
by public facilities. Tonopah capital
is enlisted in mining and milling work
at Aida, Montezuma ana other points
throughout that region, with at
present, no other means of commune
cation than 0 1t to the railroad to So
daville and Candelaria. A postoflice
established about midway is very
essential to the new incorporatio,ns
which are inaugurating extensive
operations along the Lone Mountain
range. All Should sign the petition,
that its weight in numbers may in
huence the postal authorities to act.
The State legislature will convene
at the capital next Monday.

 Relations between the striking coal miners and the military authorities were strained here to-day and a crisis in the situation may be expected at any time.

 Many congressman in Washington con firm the report that Charles A. Towne, formerly of Minnesota, but for the pas. three years a resident of New York.

The district has q normal Democratic majority of over .1o,ooOs ana the nomination is equivalent to election. Mr. Townes was elected to the FtIty- fourth Congress from the Duluth.

He was ap- pointed to the United States Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Cushman K. Davis by Governor John Lind. who Is now the only Democratic member of Congress- from Minnesota.
 MT. Towne has long ago abandoned sii- yer as a dead issue. and has been acting constantly with the Democrats. He IS stiil a young man. being just forty-hve years old s Successful ventures in busi- ness since he was last in Congress have given him an ample fortune. His return to the House will be very generally well comed. He is admirably well informed on the tariff.

MISSION OF MANoTAs.
Seeks a Settlement More Favorable
 to Colombia,

New York, Nov. 26.--Among. the pas- sengers who arrived today on board the steamer Adirondack from Sayanilla was Francisco Der Manotas, a lawyer sent by the republic of Colombia to the United States in relation to canal affairs. He will so direct to Washington. From Cape Haytien to Sayanilla P. Deschamps. Vice President of Santo Domingo was a pas senger on the Adirondack. He intended going to Curacao from Savanilla.
 MT. Manotas said he could not tell just what action would be taken to obtain a settlement of the Panama situation moro favorable to Colombia as his instructions had not yet reached him and he had yet to confer with his fellow commissioners, General Dionio JiIninez, Mir. Pedron R Valez and pr. Antonio R. Blayer who ar- rived from Panama via Galveston some days ago. They bear the sealed instruc- tions from the government at Bogota. He denied the report that Colombia was now so desperate that she would seek annexa. tfon to Panama and move the capital td Panama.
 While he was not willing to talk regard ing his mission nor to discuss what steps would be taken by the commission, he was willing to speak of conditions in Colombia and the feeling down there when he sailed eleven days ago.
 Colombia does not want to make war on Panama. She wishes to make arrange ments looking toward settlement. She wishes to regain Panama and if not, war Is probable. As to whether she will make war Is a very hard question to answer. War with the United States is not to be considered
 He did not care to discuss the possi- bility that an attempt to land Colom- bian troops in Panama might mean a clash with the United States. He coutin- ued: ''The conduct of the United States has been a surprise to us. We did not imagine that the United States would do that which she has done. have not been to Bogota. but when I left Co., lombia, the feeling against the United States was Ilot strong.

 He said he was going to see the Pres ident with his colleagues and hoped to have the United States decide to Keep hands off the Isthmus and allow the Co., lombians to regain their lost territory. If the United States would not agree to this. then the Colombians would march an army of 10000 men across the moun- tains to Panama and. meeting only the 200 isthmians, would soon regain the isthmus. Then the United States would have to negotiate with Colombia or build the Nicaragua canal.
 He said the Colombians had no thought of declaring war against the United States, because they knew 1t would be a futile effort.
