The town of Winnemucca, situated
as it is, on the Southern Pacific rail-
road. is so located that it is the CEN
ter of a vast mineral country and it
is only a matter of time when the
town will be one of the largest in the
State. At one time two quartz mills
and a small smelter were in operation
here but at the decline of the price of
silver, like all other camps in the
State, mines and mills wen to ruin.
Winnemucca is only 20 miles from
Central district, which has produced
an immense amount of bullion, and
that district today is just as good as
it ever was. Winnemucca district,
only a mile OF so from town, has also
produced thousands of dollars in the
precious metals. Mines in this hill
were worked long before the railroad
was built, and the old Pride of the
Mountain has a good reputation as a
producer. This lead has been work
ed along the surface for at least 1000
feet, and good ore was extracted, and
the ore is still there below the water
level, for when water was encountered
the high price of machinery those
days for handling water.
A company was formed Of Winnie
mucca citizens to tap the ledge below
the water level, as they supposed, but
from some m~iscalcuLation or other
the tunnel only tapped the old work
ings and did not accomplish its pur-
pose. The tunnel. is 1900 feet in length
and tapped two lodges, which produc-
ed considerable high-grade ore, and,
like the old ledge, they were never
worked below the water level and are
still there for capital to take hold of.
The Union Series also produced con-
siderable h~igh-grade ore and are still
there as undeveloped mines. The EN-
pire group, owned by Frank Robins,
is another valuable property, and ore
running as high as 1000 ounces in sill
yer to the ton las been taken out
and shipped. Considerable work has
been done on these claims and there
is good ore in sight at the present
time. The mountain is a vast net
work of mineral veins and no doubt
will some day be a great camp.
Dun Glen is only 25 miles from the
town of Winnemucca and has a big
reputation as a gold camp. Mines
have been worked there for years and
specimens as big as your hand have
been found carrying more gold than
quartz. The Lang Syne was worked
for years and is an immense ledge of
gold-bearing rock. There is a mill
on this property. The Hendra mine
has been worked for years, is de-
yeloped considerably and shows large
bodies Of gold-bearing ore. A COM
pany is negotiating for the purchase
of this property at the present time.

roots. Some very rich specimens of
white quartz covered with crystallized
gold have been taken from the R. A.
d. mine.
Jungo is another district and is 40
miles from winnemucca. Some very
rich ore has been takenfrom this camp,
and like other siler camps, is lying
idle today.
About so miles northwest Of Win
nemucca is Jackson district with its
immense deposits of copper ore.
There is no better country in the world
than Jackson. The district is one
great mass Of copper veins. Consider
able work has been done on the Nelson
group, which has lately been bonded
to Eastern parties. Large deposits Of
ore are exposed on these claims.
There are hundreds Of claims staked
off and Jackson has a bright future,
which viii soon be realized.
Too much cannot be said of the Par
adise district. which is about so miles
from winnemuca, as millions of dol
lars in bullion have been taken out
Of the mines tDere and mostly from
the surface. The Paradise group, con-
sisting of the Wild Goose, Rough and
Ready. Mountain Bright, etc, belong
to Messrs. Bell, Reinhart and Kemb-
Ter. and have produced some very
large bodies OF high-grade ore were
encountered in these mines and no
doubt similar bodies exist further
down. All these mines need is capital
to take hold Of them and sink, and it
is certain that they will be greatly
rewarded for their trouble. There
are numerous other claims in the
camp and Paradise is a good country
to prospect, as mineral can be found
anywhere.
Kings River is another promising
camp and numerous claims have been
staked there. The Choat boys have
some good mines and the ore carries
high values in gold. The ore is work
ed at the present time by arastras and
pans out well.
Sadorus district, about 20 miles east
of Winnemuca, is another gold camp
and some of the ledgse show up well.
The Credit Mobiller has been worked
for years, producing good ore. Fred
Wendell is developing some valuable
property there. He has been engaged
in running a crosscut tunnel to tap a
ledge which is 1t least 80 feet wide
on the surface and shows considerable
free gold. There are a great number
of claims staked off in this district.
The gulches have been worked for a
number of yeras for placer and a large
amount of gold was taken out.
Gold and silver are not the only
products in the mineral line that are
found in the vicinity Of Winnemucca.
Iron, building granite, together with
deposits of onyx and marble, are
found.-Pacifc Coast Miner.

Monroe and Nelson properties have all
been producers. The Cinnamon have
worked placers in Auburn, Barber and
Rockhill canyons for years and an
immense lot of gold has been taken
out of these diggings; also some very
large nuggets have been found.
These placers are still being worked.
This district is a good field for pros
pectors.
Kennedy is situated about so miles
south of Winnemucca and is consid-
cred a good camp, and there is any
quantity of ore carrying values in
gold and silver. A new mill is being
erected there by Messrs. Wynn &
Lasher. who have lately taken hold of
a number of properties in the camp.
Considerable difficulty has heretofore
been experienced in working the ores
and a number of failures have been
made by trying to handle the ore
bv the free process. The ores are
mostly sulphides and require smelling.
Hundreds of claims have been located
in the camp and considerable ore has
been shipped. There is no question
az to the richness and quantity OF the
ore. Messrs. Wynn & Lasher claim
thew have a process that will work the
ores and it is hoped that their claim
will be realized, as it means lots to
Kennedy. Other parties are negotiating
for mines there and it is expected that
Kennedy will experience another
boom.
Willow Creek is another district
which has produced considerable good
ore and the range is covered with
prospect holes that expose good veins
of gold-bearing ore. The Ohio, Wild
Deer and Daniel Boone are considered
good mines and are not worked out
either. Willow Creek district is stu
ated about so miles north of the town
OF Winnemucca.
Silver State district, about 80 miles
from Winnemucca, has produced good
ore and it is said hat good prospects
are lying idle there today.
Pueblo mining district is about 100
miles northwest of Winnemucca, near
the Oregon line, and is one of the
best camps in the country. There
are two mills and considerable rich
old ore has been milled. The R. A.
d. mine has been worked consider
ably and paid from the grass roots.
This property is managed by Mr.. j..
H. Dugan. j.. Ashdown has also
worked a lot of ore from a mine that
he owns which has paid a handsome
profit. This mine is n of the best
in the camp and has large bodies OF
milling ore in sight. This property is
on a paying basis at the present time
and the ore carries free gold. There
are a number of parties IN this camp
that have promising lodges. 1t has
been a poor mans camp, as most OF
the mines have paid from the grass

for the past twenty years as pro-
ducer of the cattle and many
thousands of double circles have

HIDES AND HORNS.

Gazette: BY regular train last
night Mr.. Dowdle shipped to Cana
nea twenty six milch cows for
Greene IL Proctor of the Cananea
Cattle Company. This company is
starting dairy farm in connection
with their raising, and this ship
rent of mixers will be added to
their herd. Mr.. Dowdle took with
him several hands to work on the
farm, as reliable employees who
understand the care of dairy cattle
are hard to get about Cananea.
Republican: Sullivan of Arson
la Kansas, and wherever his i'm
mense herds of cattle happen to
craze. will arrive at Glendale
about Dec. 3, with $50 head of cat
tie to put on pasture, which his
head rustler, George Starter, has
engaged. Time was when Jerry's
disbursements in this neighborhood
amounted to hundreds of dollars a
month, and he's hoping another
such time is at hand. Men like
bluff, honest Jerry are good for
the upbuilding of any community.
Cattleman: w. H Greer, OF the
Victoria Land and Cattle Com
pany, recently bought a large
bunch OF cattle which was being
delivered at Lordsburg, during the
past Jews days. A shipment Of
1900 head OF cattle, ones, twos
and threes, was loaded at the
Lordsburg pens yesterday. The
Stockston boys Cloud Wilson and
Mr.. Grain, have delivered 1900
head at the same place and they
are now being loaded. The cattle
will all be shipped to Bakersfield,
Cal. Good prices were paid for
the stock.
Range News: Our imports OF cat
tie from Mexico have SO fallen off
OF late that only 20l head came
over the border during the month
Of August. This is the lowest inn
portation for years. For the first
eight months of the year 25,O33
Mexican cattle came to the United
States, as against 37,717 head in
1902, decrease of 1864 in eight
months. In 1898 Mexico exported
to the United States 1873, 775 head
of cattle. A steady decrease set in
until the low water mark of GA, $50
was reached. There will be fewer
this year.
Range News. Much interest is
being taken in the forthcoming
cattlemen's convention, which will
be held in Phoenix commencing
January 4th next. Permanent or
ganization will be effected at this
meeting, and a full attendance OF
OF those engaged in the cattle bust
ness is desired. Among the work
Of the convention will be the adop-
ton of suitable bylaws to govern
the association, placing the asso-
citation on a permanent basis, and
the consideration of all other busi-
ness that may come before it, and
particularly all relative to the pro-
lection, furtherance and fostering
OF the cattle industry. The hearty
cooperation of all cattlemen is
asked. The sentiment of the pre-

A Costly Farce.
The Proposed Investigation of the Post
Office Department by Congress.

We. have repeatedly asserted that
no investigation conducted by com
mittee of Congress ever uncovered
anything in the way of an abuse in
The executive departments of the Gov
eminent which was not perfectly we'll
known to exist before, and of the de-
tails of which every man of intelli-
gence with eyes to see and ears to
hear was not eognizant. We repeat
tie assertion once more at this time
for the benefit of Representative
Hemenway, who seems to have set his
heart upon giving the Postoffice De-
rartment the benefit of an investiga-
tion by Congress in addition to that
which it has had at the hands of Gen
eral Bristow under directions from
the President.
Mr.. Hemenway affects to believe
that if he, or some other Republican,
does not rise in the House to demand
an investigation in the name of re-
form, some Democrat win, and that
the d. viii be to pay then. 1t will,
he thinks, ''hurt the party IN the
Presidential campaign.
With all due respect to Mr.. Hem
enway, we say to him that this is all
roppyeock. No Democrat in his
senses will rise TO demand an investi-
cation with the view of making polit-
ical capital out of it, for the simple
reason that an investigation, absolute
ly impartial IL character, would
blacken the reputation of as many
Democrats as it would Republicans.
The country knows that, and we think
Mr.. Hemenway knows it as well
General Bristow's investigation may
not succeed in discovering every bit of
rascality in the Postoffice Department
but it will discover, if it has not al
ready discovered, everything that
Congress can possibly hope to dig out
III the two short years of its life. The
chances are two to one, anyway, that
Mr.. Hemenway's little bluff viii not
be called. And yet we are bound to
admit that the fool who "didn't know
that it was loaded' is ever present, in
Congress as well as out of it.
1t would be folly, we say again, to
saddle the country with the expense
Of an investigation which didn't IA
vestigate. And neither party, we fee
certain, would be the gamer by such
silly proceeding. Let us have none
of it.

due. But when the woodsman is con-
fronted on all sides by signs which
warn off trespassers from preserves
that comprise many thousands OF
ceres, he feels that he has been robbed
of his patrimony. He fails to under
stand why these vast tracts should be
closed against him all the year round
merely because some resident of a dis

short, he feels that in order that one
man may rest for a few weeks in the

Artists Mistakes.

Two years ago there was exhibited in London
beautiful picture of an eighteenth century in
terror perfect in every detail but one, for on
wall OF the interior was a small picture Of a
very up-to-date locomotive. and in the same year
the writer saw among the Academy pictures a
presentment Of cavalier, evidently waiting
impaticntly for his lady to keep the tryst, con-
sulting a watch which would have done credit
to twentieth century MATCHMAKER; while on

And wisely so, too. Every banker
Of experience knows that to publish
bank statement showing depletion
of these reserves is to sound note OF
warning to the public. There can be
no reasonable doubt but that the plan
promulgated by the Secretary would
precipitate, the very danger it is
sought to avert.
1t is q lesson Of recent panics that
banks which published statements
showing strong reserves were the ones
which escaped harm, while those
which showed impaired reserves met
disaster, if not REINFORCED by outside
aid. 1t is unwritteE history, but there
can hardly be any doubt that, during
the acute stages of the panic of 1898,
the Comptroller of the Currency with

ments beyond the usual time, in order
that weak banks should not be forced
to disclose their weakness-a wise and

Science and Economics.
The Change From Free Trade to Pro-
lection in English Thought.

The coming storm of discussion Iii
England over the question of free
trade and protection is likely TO raise
a few ripples of interest on this side
of the water. For more than half 4
century, in England, free trade has
been an accepted article Of the eco
monte creed. The contented aeeep-
lance of this has had something to do
with the stability of English thought
during the Victorian reign. This pla-
cidity is now broken by the action of
Chamberlain in daring to intimate
that there is something to be said on
the other side.
There is one point which, whatever
may be the opinion of the thinker on
this particular question, must be made
clear in any such discussion; and it is
that it is absurd to talk of science
of economics in the sense in which we
speak of mathematics as a science.
There Is scarcely theory of political
economy or of craftsmanship which
does not depend on shifting circum-
stances. Two and two always make
four, in political argument or any
where else, but the statesman is the
man who is able to detect the presence
of a new element in the combination,
and point out the fact that while two
end two make four, two and three al
ways make five. Chamberlain evi.
IDENTIFY thinks that The time has come
for him to do this. He believes that
however solid may have been the pc
Iitlcal theory on which England rested
two generations ago, Its foundation:
have become undermined by circum
stances, as the cliffs of England's
coast line are broken away by tho
waves, and that the time has come fo1
new foundations, constructed on an
other principle. Whether he is right
G. not, time will determine. Time viii
