NOW owns CANAL STRIP
United States Now Has Clear
Title to the Franchise and
Right-of-Way
FORMAL SIGNING OF DOCUMENTS
w. A. Day and Charles w. Russell In
Paris Give Out Statement of What
Has Been Accomplished In the
Canal Negotiations at the French
Capital.

Paris. April 23.-The Panama canal
strip ard the Panama canal franchise
are now the property of the United
States.
The formal signing of documents
whereby the title passes to the United
States took place yesterday.
w. A. Day and Charles w Russell,
assistant United States attorney gen.
erals, who have charge of the negotia-
tons last night gave out for publica-
ton brief statement of what had been
done.
The official statement says:
The papers transferring the rights
and property by the new Panama Cam
al Company to the United States have
already been executed and delivered.
They Were ratified this afternoon by
the stockholders meeting.
THE arrangement includes gener-
al conveyance and provisions for the
deeds and resignation in the republic of
Panama and in the canal zone now I'M
der the jurisdiction Of the United
States, in which zone the civil law con-
tinues in force by reason of the cession
OF the zone from the civil law sover-
eighty. All fornalities of the local law
on the isthmus have been arranged for
and secured to the United States.
''rhe property VIII shortly be deliver
ed on the dsthmus, and upon being done
the purchase price will be Immediately
paid.
THE full text of the principal docu-
ments will be made public tonight.
THE United States gets an unin-
numbered title
The main figures in the transfer have
been Messrs. Bo and Richmond for the
company, Messrs. Day and Russell for
the United States and Consuls General
John K Gowdy and Roberto Lewis for
the United States and Panama respec-
lively, the two consular representa-
tives joining in affixing the seals and
attesting the signatures.
This transfer has been accomplished
quietly and most unexpectedly, as the
public had been given to understand
that the contract would not be exc
cuted until after the meeting of the
StochHoiueIs VI sHe AsahtuHeh Sii'ai
Company today, at which the question
of ratification would be presented.
AS a matter of fact, however, when
the meeting takes place today presi-
dent 30 will announce that the sale
has been completed, and instead of ask
ing for authority to execute a future
contract it will only remain to ratify
the contract of sale which the officers
of the comapny have already formally
completed.
It is confidently believed that the
of the sale before the meet
ing will Increase the vote for ratdf1ca-
ton, as it will be recognized that
nothing more remains but to acquiesce
in the action taken by the highest Off
GERS Of the comapny.

HITS AT PRESIDENT
Representative Kitchin Of North Caro-
lima Bitterly AssaiIs RooseveIt-De-
clares the President lnsuIted the
People Of the South.

l
clares the President lnsulted the
People Of the South.
Washington, April 23.-President
Roosevelt was most bitterly assaulted in
the house yesterday in speech made
by; Claude kitchin of North Carolina.
General Grosvenor of Ohio also came
in for denunciation from the same
source.
Kitchin charged Grosvenor with hav-
ing fumllited Theodore Roosevelt, the
vice presidential candidate whom, in
a recent speech in the house he had
glorified as the worthy successor of
Mckinley.
Mr.. kitchin likened President Roose-
Welt dn this connection to the anthill
taking the place of the mountain, the
owls screech taking the place of the
tomb's symphonies and to the minnow
taking the place of the whale"
He declared that the president had
insulted the people of the south by say
ing in one of his publications that
turnout southern character there ran
streak of brutal barbarsm. He openly
charged the president with being the
advocate of lynch law and quoted from
one of the presidents books to sustain
his assertion:
In his opinion, the president, who,
he said, while governor of New York
had styled the members of congress a
herd of CATTLE" was UNFIT to hold office
and dangerous man.
General Grosvenor admitted that
four years ago he opposed the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt for vice president
but said Mr.. Roosevelt during the cam
paign had conducted himself in a dig
mfied manner and had won the conf
dence and esteem of the people by his
acts from the time he was elected to
preside over the senate and that he
reached the supreme heights when he
declared at Buffalo, that he would car
ry out the policies of Mckinley.
Since then the president has grown
to be one of the great men of the coun-
try. The president, he said, was more
to the democratic party than
any other man today. The democrats
in New York, he said, had launched a
candidate for president who did not
know whether he stood on his head or
his heels.

REVIVAL OF
SILVER PEAK
Some Details About This
Old-Time Camp.
Indications Of Revived Interest in Its
Ore Deposits Of Gold, Silver,
Lead and Copper.

The Silver Peak district is situated
in Esmeralda county, about thirty
seven miles south of Tonopah and
eighteen miles west of Goldfeld, on
the borders of a dry salt lake about
four miles wide and sixteen miles long.
1t is one of Nevada's old time camps
which was first worked for silver and
afterwards for gold, but of late years
has been almost deserted, and its
present decayed condition of has
been exercises a most depressing
effect on the visitor who sees the old
grey bearded miners and p%rospectors
hanging round the camp awaiting, as
they have done for nearly forty years,
for the camp to revive.
1t would seem now as if the revival
is not far distant.
Silver Peak was discovered in 1864,
and silver ore was worked in a desul-
tory way until 1866, when a ten
stamp mill and l~ixiviation process
was installed, but as the profits were
small; this was closed down in 1869,
and the silver pres have not been
worked since, although 1t is said that
5000, 900 vas the gross value Of silver
produced by the Pocatello and Van
derbilt mines. In the meantime the
gold belt was being prospected, and
in 1867 a thirty stamp mill for crush
ing ore from the Drink water group or
Blair mine was built and operated
for about two years. This property
is owned by d. c. Blair of New York,
who apparently derives some pleas.
ure in refusing to work it and in nam
ing such an exorbitant price for it as
to prohibit any one from purchasing
the mine.
Since 1870, with the exception of
two leases and some litigation, it has
been idle, and this fact has injured
the entire district, although the mine
is credited with having produced gold
to the value Of $1,000, 600. The gold
bearing ore bodies of this district are
peculiar, consisting of fattened
lenses Of quartz dipping at about
twenty-five degrees and occurring in
a defined mineral zone about 100 feet
thick. These lenses wedge out and

and w. F. Bond & Co, ]. II. Allen
and j. G. Brown Of Goldfeld have ac-
quired a group of five claims, with a
vein OF gold, silver and copper, as
saying from $40 to $3.50 per ton,
while a parallel ledge assayed So to
70 per cent lead. Development work
has been started on these claims and
a shipment of ore win be made as
soon as possible.
Undoubtedly these operations will
serve to draw attention to a district
which has too long lain on the shelf,
but IS well worthy careful mvesti-
cation.

and their place is taken by overlap
ping lenses. The wall rock is schist
and sometimes a silicious granite
rock. The Blair mine has two of these
lenses opened up and several years
ago they e carefully sampled and
the r reserves measured. One
known as the Growing Glory showed
l07, 370 tons in sight valued at So per
ton; the other, the Drinkwater,
showed 1858 IONS in sight ~assaying
50. Is per ton, making a total value
Of reserves 1919, SOS. Since then new
development work has been done in
creasing the ore reserves and the
value OF the new ore bodies opened
up is higher.
The property that has been worked
more or less for several years is the
Mary mine, owned by John Chiato-
witch, which is equipped with a five
stamp mill and cyanide plant, which
has taken out over 800. 900 worth Of
bullion, the ore averaging from $35
to $53 per ton.
On September last the Mohawk Al
pine Mining company of Tonopah and
New York purchased the Homestake
group OF nine claims, three Of which
were patented, and all of which had
been prospeeted by eight shafts and
two tunnels, the deepest shaft being
2s5 feet and some drifting and stop
ing Of high grade ore was done ia early
days. The ore bodies 10 this prop
erty are of the characteristic lenticu-
lar shape varying in width from five
to fifteen feet and IN value from SO to
SS3 per ton. The property is under
the management of Byron Shear of
Tonopah, with Chris Mccarthy, su.
pe%rintendent, and a drift is now being
run on ore, which for the width of
the drift will average from $40 to $50
per ton. The company is now Install
ing a five stamp mill, with whitley
concentrators and a cyanide plant
which will be in operation very
shortly.
South of the Drinkwater mine W.
G. WyLkoop has bonded the Lucky
Sam and two adjoining claims, to-
gether with three mill sites and
water rights on the Fish Lake valley
side where wood costs but 50 per
cord and there is sufficient running
water for a ten stamp mill. The
Lucky Sam shows the usual charac-
t%eristic l~enticular mass of ore about
fifteen feet wide and over il places.
the value running from SO to $50 gold
per ton. Very little has been done,
but it is Mr.. Wynkoop's intention to
do some development work this
winter.

belt and west Of this copper is found

Big Machinery Contract.

The Evening Chronicle of Virginia
City states that one Of the most i'm
portant deals in mining machinery
yer made on this coast was closed in
San Francisco on the 18th inst. This
was a contract awarded by the Ward
Shaft Association Of the Comstock to
the international Steam Pump com
pany Of New York and the Westing-
house Electric and Manufacturing
Co. of Pittsburg for the supply Of a
pumping plant to drain the Ward
shaft to the 1000 foot level. The
price Of the plant is $50, 600, which is
to be paid for in four installments,
the last, after the plant has been in
operation and approved BY Leon NJ.
Hall. The plant IS to be shipped
within nine months after the signing
OF the contract. There are eight
mining companies in the association,
which has a cash reserve of $45. 900.
The Ward shaft is now $500 feet deep
with nearly 800 feet Of water in it..
and the new electrically driven
pumps will have a lifting capacity Of
1900 gallons pet minute through 16.
