DEATH OF FORMER EUREKAN.

The De Lamar Lode of September %
gives the following account Of the death
of former Eurekan:
The death of Dan McKinnon at CAL
iente last week makes one more of the
old pioneers. The writer knew Dan
well in Eureka, Nevada, twenty years
ago when he was engaged in mining
and quite prominent in mining affairs.
AS the camp became less active he took
employment at the smelter and worked
continuously at the lead furnace until
his health gave way from lead poison
ing, and the once physical giant became
a wreck and he suffered thereafter with
partial paralysis until the time of his
death. He came to DeLamar in 1896
and worked at odd jobs blacksmithing.
He was a genial, upright man, and
before his health failed him was very
ambitious. During the last year his
health failed steadily, but he did not
complain. His pride prevented him
from communicating his true condition
to his relatives in the East. and he died
as he probably wished to live, among
strangers.

From the Mining Review of September "a.
Miners are being imported from Utah

Monday of this week with 30 pupils en-
rolled in Mr. Cartwright's department.
and 23 in that Of Miss Jennie Carothers.
The attendance in both departments
will be considerably increased during

at the last meeting of the directors for
the purpose Of paying off the indebtness
and resuming operations in the mine
and mill. is meeting with favor in
different sections and the indications
point to an early settlement of the COM

MINING NEAR PALISADE.
West Mining Company Shipping
Quantities of Iron Ore.

Barth is the designation of the spur
recently constructed six miles west of
Palisade. AT this spur is a scene of &C.
tive mining operations, and this activ.
ity will continue at least for the next
six months.
About four months ago, says the
Winnemucca Standard, J. A. Ferraro,
Southern Pacific agent at Palisade, To-
Gated an iron mine where this spur has
been put in. He made a trip to Salt
Lake and there interested a mining
man named A. B. West, and sold the
claim for $3.50. A mining company was
formed called the West Mining Com
pany, who are now engaged taking out
and making an average shipment of 100
tons per day to the American Smelling
& Refining Company at Murray. Utah.
For this ore the smelters are paying
$3.50 per ton delivered at Murray.
1t is claimed this ore used as a fiux
saves greater percentage of gold than
al OthCI huAluB udteIldi tudb can DC
secured by the smelling companies.
Mr.. West states that near Cripple
Creek. Colorado, is another formation
of the same quality of iron ore as that
near Palisade and that transportation
rates and facilities over the Southern
Pacific are much in the favor of ship
ments from Nevada.
The West Mining Company is work.
ing fifteen men at the mine and operat-
ing Burleigh drill. Ore cars are run
over an elevated track and dumped into
the freight cars. The methods used of
loading greatly facilitate the work of
shipping.
The new company will shortly in
crease the force of men to enable an
average daily shipment of 200 tons.

Virtues of Hot Water,

Hot water is a medicine within the
reach of everyone. Half teacupful as
hot as can be drunk comfortably, half
an hour before meals, is a great preven.
tive of Indigestion; it is one of the best
remedies for disordered stomach if a
little salt is added, and the same is the
best gargle for sore throat. Hot water
is good for constipation if taken at bed
time; if followed up for a few months
it will work wonders on the most deli
cate constitution.

To Prevent Horses Running Away.
"An effective design to prevent horses
running away has been patented by a
Nebraskan," says the American In
ventor. with this device the driver
or rider has only to pull cord lying
parallel to the reins and bellows-like
curtain is drawn over both eyes to shut
out the sight completely. In this con-
dition the animal can only stand and
tremble until the object causing the
fright has passed, when the curtain is
listed by releasing the cord and the
horse travels on as before. The curtain
is housed in small semi-circular leath'
er casing just above the eyes, and the
operating cords are inserted in the bit
rings before passing back with the
reins."

Judge Fitzgerald's New Book.

Messrs. Ainsworth g. Company, Chi
cago. announce the early publication of
"The Thirty Years War ON Silver" by
Judge A. L. Fitzgerald Of the Supreme
Court of Nevada. The authors declared
purpose in adding to the long list of
books on the subject is the unfolding
and establishment of truth in monetary
science; the inculcation of patriotic
principles; and the promotion of greater
safety in business. He declares that he
now makes appeal from the adverse
judgment of politicians, with whom he
has labored unsuccessfully for many
years, to the people, ''that august trib-
unal," by whose decision after the ques-
tion shall have been properly presented
he is perfectly willing to abide.

New York Press: Out in Gold Creek,
Nevada, placer mining is done with
chickens. Large flocks are turned
loose in the ranges, and when rounded
up their crops are found to be packed
with gold. Each hen will pick up 500
worth in year. But maybe the goats
of northern Italy will be an improve
ment. With little training they would
in all probability be ten times as good
as pick and shovel. If their stomachs
could be lined with mercury to arrest
the gold they swallow and keep it from
passing through the alimentary canal
each of the herd might be worth several
hundred dollars year.

THE STATE REVENUE BOARD.
Meets and Takes Action on Humboldt
County Land Assessments.

On Monday last H. Warren, District
Attorney, addressed a communication
to the Board Of Equalization of Hum
boldt County calling attention to the
assessment placed ON the lands of the
Central Pacific Railroad in that county
and charged that the Assessor discrim-
mated in favor of the railroad.
He asserted that the same lands of
the railroad were assessed one hundred
per cent higher in Eureka, Elko and
Washoe counties, also that where the
railroad paid on valuation of fifty
cents per acre, that individuals were
assessed on a valuation of one dollar
and quarter per acre.
On unpatented lands the railroad paid
on valuation of five cents per acre and
private individuals, on the same charac.
ter of land, paid on a twensy.fve cent
valuation.
This matter having been called to the
attention of the State Board of Re-
venue, the matter was Immediately
taken up and discussed and the follow
ing instructions were wired to the
County Commissioners of Humboldt
County:
Carson City, New. Sept. 90 1908.
To the Chairman and Board of Ooun ty
Commissioners of Humboldt County,
Acting as Board of Equalization,
Winnemucca, Nevada.
At special meeting of the State
Board of Revenue, held this afternoon,
its attention was directed to the COM
plant recently made by the District At
torney of your county that the lands,
patented and unpatented, of the Gen.
tral Pacific Railroad Company, in your
county, have been greatly undervalued
by the Assessor for purposes of taxation.
On the face Of the District Attorneys
complaint it appears to this Board that
grave injustice has been done, both to
the taxpayers of Humboldt County and
of the State at large. This Board,
therefore, urges that at your next meet
ing, and before the time for the equali-
zation expires, you take such action as
will subserve the ends of justice.

Acting Governor.

Nevada Central's Valuation.

The assessed valuation of the Nevada
Central for the year 1908 was put in by
the Lander County Assessor at $155, 29S.
In 1902. this same company was assessed
for s18S.06 which shows that the
present Assessor reduced the valuation
$l2,765. In the past. the Nevada Gen.
tral Railroad Company has been as
sessed at the rate of $3.50 per mile,
whereas this year it has been put in at
81, ,450 per mile. The Battle Mountain
Nevadan says the County Board of Ed
ualization has cited the agent of the
road to appear and show cause why the
road should not be assessed at its former
valuation.

Unnrecedented Condition.

The action of the Miners Union in
calling a strike in the Butterfly y-Terrible
mine at Telluride, Colorado, September
%, to enforce the unions demand for
eight hours in the reduction works. has
brought about an unprecedented condi-
ton in the history of strikes. The But
terfiy miners were unanimous in voting
against striking. When the union sent
a committee to call strike, the trail
to the mine was guarded by five miners
armed with rifles, who halted the COM
ers and refused to allow labor agitators
to approach the property. This act OF
violence has been successful in prevent
ing strike.

1t up. and placed it in the stranger s
