PINE GROVE.
An Energetic Company Now Con-
trolls Its Famous Mines.

A corporation to be known as the
Pine Grove Gold Mining Company
has been organized to unwater and
develop the celebrated Wilson mines
at Pine Grove. The company is or
ganized under the laws of this State,
with H. G. Cutting as President and
A. L. Hudgens as Secretary and
Treasurer, and is the'outcome of ne
gotiations begun last Fall and con-
summated last week.
Last Wednesday ground was bro
ken for a tunnel which is to be run
81 600 feet to drain the ground and
tap the Wilson ledge. The tunnel
will also cut series of intervening
lodges. The tunnel will tap the main
the main ledge several hundred feet
below the present deepest workings,
where good ore was abandoned be-
cause OF the inflow of water.
To finish the tunnel as rapidly as
air compressors and Ingersoll drills
will be installed at once and three
eight-hour shifts of miners are at
work.
The company has about $50 tons of
concentrates at the old Wilson mill
which will average about $50 per ton.
These will be worked at once.
The company will place $4,000
shares of its treasury stock on the
market at 80 cents per share to OBJ
tain money TO run the tunnel The
stock of the corporation will be list
ed on the San Francisco Board, but
no more stock will be sold than is
necessary to obtain money to do
the development work.
The stock is valuable and the Com
pany is not peddling it about, but
those who think we'll of the mines
can obtain stock by addressing j. W,
orJ, |. Wilson, at Nordyke, Nevada.
], W. Luke, an experienced miner,
has been appointed General Manager
Of the company and all work will be
carried on under his supervision
The Wilson mines, which are stu
ated, in this county, have already
produced five million dollars in gold,
all within $50 feet of the surface.
TIE projected tunnel will develop the
country to a depth of 800 feet, the
water from the tunnel will be used to
generate electric power for mills and
mining machinery, and there is not
reasonable doubt that the Pine
Grove Company will in the near fu-
ture be included in the list OF big
bullion producers.

CENTURY OF PATENT ISSUES.
beginning July 81. 179O, the Number
Granted In This Country Has
Been 42S, 1921.

The census bureau lately issued n
report dealing with the cooperative
relation of patented inventions to
manufactures, which shows that New
York, though third in population and
patent rank for the first decade of
the 100 years has since been first in
both, as well as manufactures. IT is
an interesting fact, in considering
the list Of states presented in the
report, that the manufacturing rank
of state as rule approximates its
patent rank, says the New York
Sun. The report says:
The first patent granted bv the
general government was to Samuel
Hopkins, July 81, 1890, for an i'm
provement in pot and pearl ash
manufacture. The last patent grant
ed for the year 1889, at the close OF
the first leo years of patent issues,
was to Wilhelm Dreye-. December
81, 1889, for an electro magnetic
typesetting machine. These two pat
ents are suggestively symbolical of
the progress of Tic century in in
vention and manufactures-the first
akin to the primitive industries of
a new country and the last serving
the exacting demands of highly or
ganiged industrial system. The total
number of patents issued during this
century of invention was 42s.621."
A feature of the report is the
steady growth shown in the number
Of patents granted to citizens of for
eign countries.

Speaking of the effort to get men
and boys for the United States army
and navy, a writer says that branch
OF the navy which is Of particular in
terest to boys is the naval training sta
ton at Newport, Rhode Island, where
boys between the ages of Is and Is
are received as apprentices and taught
in all branches of the naval seaman's
trade. These boys, later on, have the
best opportunities for advancement,
as they are given the preference in
appointments as petty officers and
warrant officers. The Newport trails
ing station is situated on Coasters
Harbor island, near Newport, and the
government has recently added to the
establishment large building in
which boys are quartered, and drilled
in incEement weather. They are
taught boxing, fencing, how to tie
sailor knots, how to make sails, to row
and sail boats, to drill as soldiers, and
many other things. There Is a good
gymnasium there, and in summer the
boys are required TO learn how to
swim.
