IS NOT A FAILURE.
So Says Mr.. F. c. Everett of the
Nevada Placer Mines.

Mr. +. {. Everett, general manager
of the Longfellow Mining Company
for the season, says, in the Reno Ga
zette that the Carson placers are not
failure. In the article he says:
"fhis is in no way a reply to the
false insinuations and misrepresenta-
tions which have appeared in two or
three small sheets published in neigh
boring towns, for | do not consider
that they in any way merit reply.
1t is my friends to whom | wish to
speak; those who may be disturbed by
the flying rumors designed to reflect
upon the resources and enterprise of
our State, as well as upon some of her
citizens. One year ago this spring
my self, as manager, and my partner,
Mr.. MeGrath, as superintendent, for
the Nevada Placer Gold Mining Com
pany began digging ditch five miles
in length and erecting a plant COM
posed of combination of placer min
ing and quartz milling machinery to
save the values in the sand upon the
river, which men have been trying for
the last forty years to save and have
failed. | will not attempt to go into
detail here as space would not permit
me but suffice to say that with some
experimenting and an expenditure of
SIG, 800, the larger part of which was
spent in building fiume and digging
bitches, we succeeded in saving the
gold and made a cleanup of Ss96.75,
which means more than one can re-
alize who has not been there and seen
for himself the wary article floating
down over his rifles or plates and get
ting away. Besides this we discover
ed what no one knew before, and /,
myself, during twelve years of ex-
perience never dreamed of, that there
were values located up in the fine
partly crushed quartz, the assays of
which ran from three to ten dollars
per ton, TO save which we would need
a crush mill.n
Then he adds: "They went ahead
and the agent from the iron works
put in an entirely different system
from the one with which we had saved
the gold, with the result of not one
cent realized from the rifle clean up
and eight or ten dollars from one
days run in the inferior mill which he
had erected'
The article ends with the following
representation:
81 phrophesy that in the near future
the Carson river placer enterprise will
have been proven a success and a
credit as a gold producer to our state
Long live Nevada and her gold min
ing industry
We give this article space believing
it will interest all of our readers. The
REcoRD-CoURIER, which we presume
is one of the small sheets referred to,
does not care a continental d-n
what the pyrothetnic Mr.. Everett
thinks of it.
The writer bears Mr.. Everett no ill
will and is as anxious as he to see the
Placer plant in successful operation.
We hope his prophesy will be borne
out bv subsequent facts

Canned Mustang.

II. w. Dunn, travelling man for a
canning establishment at st. Louis,
Missouri, spent several days in Eureka
and vicinity last week looking for
horses to ship East. There is said to
be. no limit to the age of horse for
canning purposes, but he is supposed
to have some meat and fat on his
bones to make a marketable product
Mr.. Dunn did not find many horses
around here that were up to the re-
quired standard for the range horses
this year are very poor. 1t is thought,
however, that arrangements have
been made for later shipment of
toothsome, grass-fed equines, which
will be canned and sent to supply the
Russo-Japan market in the far East.
