The Need of Experience.

In the operation of low grade mines,
success can usually be assured or
made possible by combination Of
happy conditions and circumstances
If gold mine,, the vein or deposit
should be extensive, the rock easy to
break, not too expensive to support,
and transportation must be inexpen-
at low cost, the ore must be free mil
in its reduction. Power must be cheap
free water power preferred, wages
must not be too high; timber easily
or cheaply obtainable; and the mine
must have efficient, experienced man
agement in every department of mine
mill and office. The more favorable
these several conditions are the lower
the grade of property may be made
to yield a profit If it be a smelling
proposition, the problems are fluxes

gold and silver. In this case compe-
tant management is more essential
as the difficulties besetting the smell

those of the millman. Almost anyone
can manage rich, free gold mine, but

THE CARNIVAL OPENS
A Big Crowd on the Comstock
the First Day

The Comstock Carnival was open
ed this morning at 10 O'Clock. The
announcement was made by the blow
ing Of whistles and the ringing of
bells. By noon the streets were crowd
ed with people and the midway was
running in full blast. The band also
helped to increase the noise by an
open air concert.
Rigs of all kinds bringing strangers
from outside districts are arriving
from all directions and by tonight
the town will be crowded. To-day's
train brought several hundred more
visitors to help swell the crowd.
Tomorrow will be children's day and
every precaution will be taken to
prevent an accident and make it per-
fectly safe for the children to enter
the parade.
At least a dozen vaQueros have al
ready entered their names in the
bronco tournament and among them
are the best riders in the State. The
tournament takes place tomorrow
afternoon at the Recreation Grounds
The midway shows were formally
opend at II o'clock this morning.
A slack wire performer and trapeze
performer will give free exhibitions
at the Gould and Curry Grounds.
Chronicle
Mr. Pouiade who visited the Com
stock yesterday says that it is the
greatest show that the State has ever
pulled off. The streets are p mass of
decorations and the electric display
is worth going a distance to see. The
electric lights are allowed to burn
during the day and as he states it
lends enchantment to the scene. The
free shows are above the average and
the thousands of people that crowd
ed the streets yesterday We're more
than satisfied that they have a big
time ahead of them for the rest of
the week.
, Yesterday morning over five hundred
people went to the city over the hill
by way of the railroad. The cars

Carson There is not a new enterprise
forming within the limits of this city
and on the contrary many of the citi-
Zens are content to let well enough
alone and go to sleep while the sister
towns rake in the plums.
Through the lack of organization
several enterprises have been transfer

tinue to be transferred as long as the
business men continue to sleep, and
that is what they are doing.

THE Poco-TIEMPo.
Flattering Reports Come in From the
Mine.

FIattering Reports Come in From the
Mine.
Yesterday Glib Briggs, AL. Karge and
Bill Clarke and several others who
have been mining at the POGO TEMPO
came in for the Fourth and in order
to see the sights. The boys all report
that the mine is looking exceedingly
we'll The deeper they go the better
the ground looks and some of the spec
linens that came in are certainly in
dicitive to a future before the camp
and the mines of that section.
The little mill that was put up last
summer has been kept busy and will
turn out considerable concentrates
before long. Quite a lot has been
worked up and will be shipped.
The POGO TEMPO promises as we'll
as any mine in Western Nevada. The
original discovers, instead of waiting
for capital to come to their aids took
the short handle shovel route and have
succeeded in developing and showing
to the world what can be done by
labor and energy. Should the mine
become a great producer as it promises
it will be through the steadfast ener-
gy of a few men who excluded that
it was quicker and more profitable to
put in muscle instead OF waiting for
someone with long sack TO help them
out.
Had the same example been follow
ed ON d number OF prospects in this
district by this time there would he
d number OF mines producing bullion
mat are now records OF claims.
After the glorious Fourth the Ooys
expect to return TO camp where they
will further prosecute work. They
speak highly Of a number of other
claims that are looking well out that
| way. The Winters mine is turning
out considerable high grade concen
trates and will make a big shipment
in snort time Several gold proper
ties are coming out which means
that the district south will attract con
siderable attention before the summer
! passes Nearly every week a mining
man or two goes out that way and in
number of instances they have be
/ come interested in properties. Sew
eral eastern concerns are already or
! the ground and more are looking fol
a chance to get in. Their is plenty Of
room out that way for the prospectOl
and as every metal of value can be
found it offers good inducements, as
water and fuel are to be found on ev
cry hand.

A CREDITABLE JOURNAL.

The Nvada Miner Will do Good.
The Appeal has received a copy of
Van Duzer Publishing Company. The
edition is a very crditable one. 1t is
filled with live mining notes, mostly re-
garding Tonopah, and the illustrations
are above the average. The editor
ship is under the mana gement of
Congressman Van Duzer.
Some complaint has been made that
the magazine is published by a New
York house, even this being true the
benefit arising from its publication
will be felt. If circulation can be
had for the journal it matters not
where it is published. 1t Will do the
good for which it was intended and
that is what the people OF this State
should desire. 1t is advertising thaI
Nevada needs and she needs it badly
If Van DuZer or any other i've man
can rake the capital together tC adver
tise this State the people should at
least stand in with him and see thai
the paper is circulated where it will
do the most good.
The Appeal hopes that the Nevada
Miner under it's new form and better
appearance will continue to live and
help populate a State that has more
resources than any State in the Un
ion.
