FIRST MILL RUN
A BIG SUCCESS
Eve Tons Of Ore Treated and Give
Good Returns.

The Kincaid mill at Buffers wells
.,,s week made sample run on five
..as If ore from the claims of the
ronopah. Gold Mountain company at
ola Maintain, and from the figures
tnroished by Secretary Runge the
.ost was satisfactory in every sense.
The total amount of ore furnished
,,oe five tons, and battery sample
-, nave returns of $62 90 to the
,o, The amount of gold plated was
,h;rteen ounces, and the concen-
,rates saved weighed 450 pounds and
arc valued at $500 to the ton, 1t is
.stimated that in both amalgam and
concentrates 80 per cent OF the
,olnes in the ore were saved.
The result of this run gives great
encouragement to the company, as
they have thousands OF tons OF ore
On hand that needs only mill treat
mont to make it give up its values.
The company keeps a force of men
constantly at work on its property
and from the main ledge, which car
he traced clear across the mountain
and whose groupings show lots o
free gold, some good ore is beinl
taken We're a mill erected ON th'
ground, and absence of water aIon'
precludes that, this ledge could b.
milled as a whole, and it would pa,
biz This same ledge enters tn
Tonopah- Union ground, and iron
their shaft, at depth of p
feet, ore is being extracted tina
runs from s25 to $50 in gold.

WILL INCREASE
WATER SYSTEM
Crystal Company Will Lay Pipes in
Every Street in Town.

The CRYSTAL Water company has
Just authorized an issue of 6 per cent
bonds on their water plant of $685.
600, and the whole amount has been
taken up by the Los Angeles Trust
company at par. All of the money
derived from this purpose will be
used in water development and in ex-
tending the pipe system. The latter
will be so improved that every street
in town will be furnished with later
ais and sub-laterals from the main
pipe, and in order to supply the
extra demand the pipe between town
and the wells will be replaced by a
main twice the size of the present
one.
The new we'll which the company is
now engaged on will be sunk to
depth of $50 feet, and from this level
drifts will be run a long distance
either way.
Other wells will also be sunk imme
mediately and windmills will furnish
the power to pump them and large
reservoir will be built of sufficient
dimensions to hold the increased sup
ply of water.
) For the last few months the com
: pany has had plenty of water for all
domestic purposes, but by reason OF
having entered into contracts to
deliver water to the milling schemes
now in course of construction and IN
contemplation in Tonopah, further
development is necessary.
0 With this purpose in view the bond
issue was deemed expedient. 1t re
a lieves also the drain that was being
constantly made on the company
y income for Improvements, and VII
enable them to pay dividends regu
u arly, the first of which will be de
clared next month.

Danger of Colds and Grip.

The greatest danger from colds

pneumonia. If reasonable care is
used, however, and Chamber

danger will be avoided. Among

used this remedy for these dis
eases we have yet to learn of a
single case having resulted in

Editor of the Enterprise, Shorts

truth. I at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by
taking a teaspoonful of this rem
edy, and when the coughing
spell would come on at night !
would take a dose and it seemed
that in the briefest interval the
cough would pass off and would
go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying
pains. To say that the remedy
acted as q most agreeable sur
prise is putting it very mildly.

could knock out the grip, simply
because l had never tried it fol
such a purpose, but it did, and II

coughing the remedy caused il
to not only be of less duration,
but the pains were far less
severe, and had not used the
contents of one bottle before Mr.
Grip had bid me adieu." For sale

The old town of Bonanza is
also on the lookup since the
Loon creek discoveries. They
have ample accommodations for
any amount of travel-man and
beast-and are calculating on
their share of prosperity that
naturally follows up the opening
of rich and permanent gold
mines in the immediate vicinity.
The Bonanzaites claim that their
town is half mile nearer to the
new diggings than any other
town, and that consequently they
have right to claim a gate
way" too.
In the Spring there will be a
wayside inn, or hotel, for accom-
mediation Of the travelling public
at the Jordan Lake, near the
terminus of the Jordan creek
wagon road. That is the point
where the transfer will be made
from wagon to pack-train for
goods in transit for Loon creek.
There was a petition sent in to
the Postofice Department for a
postofice at Loon to be called
"Orogrande," but the Depart
ment gives the information that
there is already one Orogrande
in Idaho, and some other name
must be adopted. 1t will most
likely be ''Loon" or 20. H." or
something else short, as time,
these days, is too precious to be
wasted on long names.
The editor of the PToSpector,
Mr.. Eddy, went over to Loon
with others from Custer a few
nights ago, ostensibly to write
up the developments and new
strikes of the camp for the paper,
but it is conjectured that he has
another "Lost Packer" cached
over there that he is int lending
to bring to light for the Spring
trade. He will be gone several
weeks, and in the meantime Reg.
Coryell and A. A. Anderson, the
ProSpectog printer. will run the
paper. There is probably poetry
enough on the copy hook to last
until the chief returns.
George L. MCGOWAN and j.
G. Pierce came over from Loon
creek this afternoon. They met
other parties going in, among
them the editor of the Prospector,
whose ponderous frame on
"webs" had made a track big
enough to take four horse sled
through. They report no snow
on Little Loon, three miles below
"Lost Packer"
The people here don't seem tc
understand whether the new
game and fish law is intended as
big joke or sure go. If it is q
law, it will work a great hard
ship on the Loon creek immigra
ton, as that is great game an6
fish country, and ''grubstakes'
may not last all Summer. Blu
anyway, the law as passed is un
constitutional inasmuch as it is
"class" legislation; it protects
some animals while at the same
time bounties are offered for The
! scalps of others. The bears anC
) cougars and wolves and othe.
: such things enjoy life as we'll a
do the deer, and elk and sheer
a and goats, and you cannot con
, stitutionally protect one and pu
a a premium on the scalp of an
other. Besides, the law has
' strong string to the license, AM
) is simply obtaining money with
/ out value received. There i
, just about as much reason in tina
| game law as there would be in
law requiring a man to pay on
e hundred ($100 dollars for mai
s riage license and then after MAI
S riage require him to sleep b
