We Have the Mines
That are Being
Sought for by
Capital.

A good many property owners Of this
section lack the means to develop their
holdin gs. A mining man conversing
with the writer some time ago made the
remark that this is low grade district.
Many owners are afraid the remark will
deter capital from entering the district.
In this the NEvADAN believes they are
mistaken. The class of property most
greatly sought for nowadays is large
bodies of low grade ore. Rich mines
are all right, but are very scarce and
hard to get. 1t is not the rich ores that
are looked to for the big steady divi-
dends, but rather the low grade mines,
with the large deposits Of ore. An article
in the Mining Review covers this sub
ject as follows:
AS an illustration it may be cited that
vein OF ore one foot in width that
yields ore to the value OF 800 to $50 per
ton could not compare in point or profit
to the vein eight to twelve feet in width
that would show values Of s5 or $40 per
ton. A vein OF the latter width is con-
stantly producing big quantities Of ore,
while narrow vein has to be followed
and a large amount of worthless rock
taken out to enable the miners to secure
the ore. The notable examples of big
earners of large dividends on low grade
ores are the Treadwel. Homestake and
the Comsteck 1t is fact that there
are an innumerable number Of great
dividend payers, especially in gold mines,
where ore does not average above S5 per
ton, while the Treadwel, one of the
great gold mine successes, finds its ore
yielding less than S2 per ton. There is
no question to-day but that the best
mining experts and the most conserva-
tive men in the mining business are TAX
ing hold OF properties that have large
quantities Of ore, regardless Of the low
value Of the same. Mining men, like all
other classes OF fnanciers and states
men, can only judge the future by the
past, and as the past is so replete with
success ia mines that yield low grade
ores, their attention has been directed
and is being directed more and more to
mines of this class. Mining engineers
to day-those employed by the big con-
cerns-are instructed not to look for
mines with small ore veins that run high
in value. but for wide ore bodies of the
lower grade, knowing that when such
wide veins are found they will be con-
tinuous and are not at all likely to pinch
out like the narrow ones.

Death of Pope
Leo XIII.

The Pope died shortly after o'clock
Monday afternoon. His last moments
we're comparatively peaceful and pain
less, and were preceded by period Of
insensibility. Around the bedside at the
final moment were the Cardinals, the
relatives and the members of the Papal
court Before lapsing into unconscious
ness, the dying Pontiff feebly moved his
lips, his last articulate words being
those used in bestowing benedic ton.
Gradually the shadow of death spread
over the Pontiff, his extremities became
cold, his features assumed the fixed rig
idity of death and DR.. Lapponi noted
his last futtering heart beats, which
gradually became slower and slower unr
til they finally stopped. The news of
the Pontiffs death spread rapidly
throughout Rome, ard caused most
profound sensation. The whole city is
in mourning. The final scene in the
death chamber was profoundly impress
i've.
Pope Leo XIII became Supreme Pom
tiH in 1878 when he was elected to sue
ceed Plus TX, and has therefore been
the head of the Roman Catholic Church
for quarter of century. Personally
he has been one Of the best loved Popes
and his pure and gentle character have
er deared him to the civilized world with
out regard to religious belief.
His successor will be chosen by the
Sacred College composed Of Cardin IL,
and two-thirds majority is necessary
to choice.
Leo has done much to draw America
nearer the Vatican and it was his great
est wish to see representative from the
United States stationed there perma-
nently. When President Roosevelt sent
Governor Taft to Rome to confer with
His Holiness on the Philippine friar
question the Pope was greatly pleased,
but not SO much 1attered by the atten-
ton rs to come around to the enyoy's
view OF the subject under discussion.
His last illness has been watched with
loving sympathy by the entire civilized
world which has long recognized in Pope
Loo a man of remarkable intellectual
and moral qualities.

George Gould and
His Road.

The San Francisco Chronicle is con-
viuced that George Gould is ia back of
the Western Pacific and in lengthy
editorial reasons as follows:
90 all past occasions when he was in
terviewed on the subject, Gould either
denied the relationship with either en-
terprise point blank or left the inter
viewer 10 a maze CT doubt. Still rumor
persistently associated his name with
both railways, particularly with the
Western Pacific. However, during a re-
cent visit to Wheeling, ". Va, to in
spect his Wabash interests there, Gould
either incaatiously or Intentionally ad-
mtted practically everything that rumor
had heretofore asserted by revealing his
transcontineDtal railroad plans to an in
terviewer to the following extent:
I'VE will have our road completed and
in operation from tide water to tide
water, from ocean to ocean, within eight
cen months." And without naming the
Western Pacific, be practically describes
it in the published interview when he
says: "One good thing about the rail
road will be its lack of dangerous or
even heavy grades. None will be SO
hard as to prevent the hauling OF seventy
or seyenty.five cars in single head
train, and this is saying good DEAL
The first statement tallies exactly with
the declarations Of President Bartnett
OF the Western Pacific when seeking
terminal facilities in Oakland ard in
San Francisco last winter, namely that
the road would be built and in operation
within two years from that time. The
second statement fits the surveyed route
of the Western Pacific, which enters the
Salt Lake basin from this State over the
lowest pass in the Sierras, ascending
from both sides on comparatively light
and easy grades.
Now that the Western Pacific has ob-
tanned clear right OF way frosa San
Francisco bay to the Nevada State line
via Beckwith Pass, Mr.. Gould has prob
ably reached the conclusion that fur
ther concealment of his relationship to
the enterprise is unnecessary. He IS
doubtless making this admission because
opposition to his plans from any quarter
would be foolish and futile. The enter
prise is now standing on solid ground,
All of the preliminaries have been Wig
orously pushed. Terminal facilities ON
both sides OF the bay have been secured
and little remains to be done to begin
construction in earnest. 1t is evident
from what Gould has said in his Wheel,
ing interview that no time will be lost in
completing the line, for he is not man
o;ven tn talking meaninple6sly

Twenty Awful
Days.

In the history of this country no pre-
cvious twenty days, we believe, afford a
parallel to those between May 26 and
June 10Th for combined destruction Of
life and property.
Beginning with the tornado at st. EI-
mo. on May 26th, in which twenty per-
sons were killed. the list continues as
follows:
May % to June 6, Kansas river foods;
80 killed.
June /, GAINESVILLE tGa) tornado; 100
killed.
June 8, Glendale Is. CO. cloudburst;
IS killed.
June to Is, ST. Louis flood; 30 killed.
June IA. Heppner (Ore.) cloudburst;
300 killed.
The total value Of the property lost 10
the above named disasters is estimated
at S27 100000, and s3,0O0,0OO more is
computed to have been lost in forest
fires that ragged from June to 7 in New
York, New Jersey, New England and
Pennsylvania. This makes grand to-
tai Of 58S lives and $30,5O0,00O worth Of
property wiped out by food and Ere in
these twenty days Of destructiou.-N. Y.

Alladin'S Wonder
full Lamp.

What Alladins Wonderful Lamp did
for him, the Wonderful Doran Lamp
will do for you; dimly lighted store is
like Aladin's cave, and needs light to
discover its treasure; well-lighted place
of business gets the money and that is
the treasure you are looking for.
II you are satisfied with the light you
are using, you are not the man we want
to talk to, but il you are looking for bet
ter illumination, the Wonderful Doran
Light will supply the want aud We guar
antee the result.
1t is as convenient as electricity; and
easier to install 1t is fed from seam
less wire tube, no larger in diameter than
a match, which can be run through the
building the same as electric light wire,
but is not so unsightly.
Doran lamps are connected with a
storage tank placed out OF doors il you
like, the gasoline is forced to the lamps
in the building as fast as it is used.
1000 feet of tubing would not hold more
than one pint OF gasoline, and there is
absolutely no danger. The pressure is
equal all over the system and one light
is as bright as the other. The lights
can be turned up or down to any re-
quired candle power.
The Wonderful Doran Light produces
steady, bright, clear illumination, that
will not affect the eye and is superior to
an electric arc light both in illumination
and convenience. No flicker or sputter
as with an electric arc.
Each light burns independently OF the
others on the system, The Doran light
can be operated at about one, tenth the
cost to operate any other artificial light
upon the market to-day. The sum
of the whole matter is that with the
Doran Lighting System you can cut your
lighting bills down toan infinitestimal
amount that will not be noticeable and
you are entirely independent Of gasand
electric light companies.
