Here's a Chance.

Charley Wylie. who is farming the
Day ranch, east of this city. has been
doing considerable experimenting this
summer. In the course of the dew
elopment of the springs that he is us
ing for irrigation, he has found that
the course of the warm water that is
used at the prison and the Springs,
north of town, have regular course
through the land that he is farming
He says that it is an easy matter to
trace the formation along the course,
and it is his belief that with boring
a short distance that warm water could
be found in abundance
Here is chance for some one who
has little money to venture. There
is a chance to bore for warm water,
as the permission could be received to
try for it, probably on a percentage,
but it is worth the while. The Day
ranch is situated SO near town that
the development OF warm spring
The fact that the Shaw hot springs
and those at the Prison are in a dir
ect line and further along the same
springs come to the surface at Nc
Tannahan demonstrates what Mr..
Wylie states, that the springs have a
course through his property.
Governor Sparks has warm artes-
ian well on his place. He had to sink
several hundred feet to get it but the
formation was right and he knew that
it was under him. The result is that
his home is supplied with one of the
finest hot water services in the wide
land and it is his intention to heat
his home with the water. The plan
offered by Mr.. Wylie offers just such in
ducements, as there Is every indicat-
ion that warm water is in the belt

and cash for the first man to go after

TONOPAH ORE RESERVES.

The Denver Mining Reporter in COM
menting on q recent article in these
columns gives a laymans estimate Of
the ore in sight in Tonopah, says:
The Tonopah company owning the
Mizpah, Burro, Valley View and other
claims in Nevada's Tonopah district,
is having its orc resources measured
and estimated by expert mining en-
gineers, and the Tonopah Miner, fear
ing that the camps high reputation
might suffer at the hands of ultra con-
vance an interesting summary of data
relative to the development, ore res
erves and values in the mines of this
company. 1t is set forth that the group
in question has $4,000 feet of under
ground work, most of which being in
the nature of development; that $4,000
feet of this work is in ore of the aver
age value of 500 ton; that the es-
innate published some time ago to
the effect that the ore In sight was val
ued at $1O4, 100000 was not too high,
The Miners solicitude for retaining
the high reputation of the district
as a rich and permanent producer is
commendable, and we hope to see the
figures it gives fully supported by fu-
ture production. There is however, no
danger from the source indicated. A
mine so well developed as the Tonop-
ah with any thing like the ore res
erves suggested, could not be seriously
effected by report which slightly
under estimated such ore reserves.
The stock market would doubtless be
Influenced by a report of this charact-
er but steady production of high grade
ore will always speak for itself Care
full engineers are expected to be con-
sentative. Their reports are under
stood to be for the benefit of those
who want as much as possible of the
element of chance eliminated. Re.
ports that would check the speculative
ardor would not hurt the good mines
and might benefit the industry"

EARLY coMsrock DAYS.
interesting Career Of an Old specu.

ilatof. gii-ltH
New York, July 27.-The will of
Mrs. Alice Skae, who committed sui.
eide at the Touraine Hotel on July 6,
was filed for probate to day. It leaves
all he property to her daughter
Alice Warren Skae.
{ commenting On the dispatch of
which the above is part the San Fran
cisco Chronicle says:
Mrs. Alice Skae was the widow of
the late Johnnie Skae the one time
bonanza King whose varied career
was one of the most interesting of
the mining days of $3.50. Born in Can
ada, he started life as telegraph op-
orator and became so expert that he
was employed to send the messages
from the Comstock, in Nevada, to the
stock board. Daily cipher messages
flashed across the wires from vir>
ginia City appraising the managers
in San Francisco Of the promises of
each days work in the mines. Skae
was clever enough to work out the
cipher code and he possessed the
business tact to make capital OF his
knowledge. He obtained pointers that
enabled him in short time to clean
up 100000 His speculations we're
of the most daring and reckless kind
and luck seemed to be on his side.
The California and Virginia boom was
the means of his great gains, but with
the slump that followed on the heels
of this boom, carrying down with it
| many big operators, Skae lost most of
| his fortune.
I But he was soon interested in an
other big project, the Sierra Nevada
boom, and it seemed for awhile as if
! the expert telegraph operator was 60
| ing to roll up in wealth again. In
his determination to shove Sierra New
ada to the top notch, he bought up all
the available stock. At one time he
could have sold for millions, but he
held on and when at last the bottom
fell out of the Sierra Nevada, Skeas
wealth had vanished with it. Only
two years later in August 1881, he
was arrested for being drunk in San
Francisco, and when this man whose
check had been worth millions was
taken before the Police Judge he could
not pay IS bail. He is said to have
gone to Arizona and Mexico a few
months later and there he cleaned up
$25O,OOO in mining properties. In
March 1882 he was elected director
of the Utah Mining Company, a veal
that time until his death fate smiled
upon him, though he never regained
the great Comstock fortune he wrung
from the telegraph wires.
Johnny Skea the father of the great
Sierra Nevada boom, was thorough
good fellow and when he was trying
to put through his Sierra Nevada
plans he spent money in entertaining
like king A would be poet wrote a
song upon him and he was given 5000,
whereat all the versifiers of the town
turned their muses. on the bonanza
king and most of them met with finan-
tian success, for Skea was generous
to fault, even to poetic fault
I Skea died a number of years ago,
and left comfortable estate, most
of it real estate in San Francisco.

= & ass 8 =.
Yesterday the State Agency and

rotary of State articles Of incorporat-
ion Of the Brunswick Consolidated
Mining Company. The company is
incorporated for $4,000 and is COM
posed Of James Yerington, H. r. Logan

M. Ardery. This city is named as the
principle place Of business.
The purpose Of the organization is
to work and develop the mines in

of this city. From time to time Mr..
Logan and his associates have work
ed on the copper property that they
hold in that section and have develop
ed what seems to be the nearest q
copper mine that is yet uncovered in
this county. Some exceedingly high
assays have been returned from the
rock extracted One shaft is down
over $50 feet, while other work has
demonstrated that there Is q big body
of ore in the ground that they hold.
The purpose of the organization is
to place enough stock on the market
to work this mine as it should be
and to eventually start smelter or
other reduction works on the ground
to handle the ore.
There cannot be too many mines de-
veloped in this county and it is to be
hoped that capital will soon be forth.
