Another Mill for OSceoIa.

W. II. Hoffman, a director of
the Pilot Knob gold mining com
pany of Osceola, stopped over in
Ely last night, on his way to San
Francisco, where he goes to pur-
chase a two stamp battery and
other machinery with which to
test the treatment of their ores
in that camp. After the com
pany has demonstrated the best
method of treatment adapted to
the ore, the directors promise the
commencement of work upon a
plant sufficiently large to handle
the product of all the mines own
ed by them. Reports still con-
tinue to arrive from the camp
which are very gratifying, and
indicate that the coming summer
will witness a revival of her old
time life, and be greeted with an
era of prosperity such as she has
never seen before.

Got Some thing Good.

D. G.. Mcdonald has struck
something good in his new dis
covery at the head of Steptoe
Creek. Assay returns indicate
that Dan has found something re-
sembling small bonanza, and
he has been offered a good price
for all the ore he can ship to
Salt Lake. Yesterday he took
a load of provisions and a work
ing crew, and will take out the
ore for shipment. Some good
prospects may be opened up on
Steptoe this summer, and Dams
faith in that locality is bringing
him his reward. A few more
good workers like Dan. and old
White Pine county will have it's
surface dotted with small hold
ings that will pay handsomely
for opening them.

EDITOR WHITE PINE News.
DEAR SIs:-As one of the citi-
zens of this (Alpha) district, I de-
sire to thank you for the article
in YOUR issue of April %, 1904,
exposing mine Promoter" Will
lam Whalen, who has for thirty
wears kept up his fraudulent
stock selling on silver mines,
from which never a dollars worth
of ore has been shipped, and he
has had at least fifty investors
come to Alpha, and take them up
TO what he calls his silver mines,
where he has ore scattered
around bought and brought from
Colorado and other points, and
after the parties would pick the
ore from these SALTED places,
he would, watching an oppor-
tunity, empty out the same and
put in the bought ore, and then
insist on having them personally
seal up the bag or package con-
tanning the same, and for safe
keeping take them to bed with
them.
[ don't know that they became
victims, but Saturday, April 30,
he had a man VIII gave his name
as John D. Moynahan, and two
ladies going from his house, and
they claimed Sacramento as their
home.
What this man Whalen is do
ing, and has been doing the past
seven months, is best told in a
letter exposing him, written by
Mr.. M. w. Shaw, who has been
at Alpha, and who declined long
er to be associated with such a
fraud. We have secured copy
of that letter, and hope you will
find room in your valuable paper
for the same.
Very truly yours,
EVER THERE.
