BEATEN BUT GENEROUS.


The Nevada State journal, the
most Jealous of the Democratic news
papers of Nevada, publishes the fol.
lowing:
The people have exercised their
choice; but did it in an open and
fair manner, and like true American
citizens, the minority is satisfied.
The bitterness of the campaign just
closed is now forgotten; the defeated
will Join with the victorious and all
will work with one grand aim in view,
the upbuilding and betterment of one
of the greatest states in the Union
Nevada-and the still greater ad-
yancement Of the noblest and grand
est nation in the world has ever
known-the United States-and the
loyal supporter Of one of the noblest
and most fearless as well as the best
beloved mar in the world today
President Roosevelt-our President,
a man every loyal citizen in the land
will fight for ana uphold for the next
four years.

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
A

While the result of the Presiden-
tial election was never in doubt by
strong hearted Republicans, the over
whelming majority gained by Roose-
welt and Fairbanks is a most pleas
ing and surprising confirmation Of
the renewed confidence of the Amer
lean people in the Republican admin
istration. In this state it is especi-
ally gratifying that after twelve
years devotion to the silver cause,
Nevada has returned to the fold
never to depart from it again; and
year by year, as those who cling to
the so called silver issue from habit
or prejudice, realize that it is dead,
they will join the Republican party
and add to their ever increasing ma
jority. At the time of writing there
is little doubt about the election Of
Nixon, and while the contest between
Warrington and Van Duzer is a stern
one, the strong probabilities are
that the former is elected.
The victory of Judge Norcross is
particularly pleasing, and the peo-
pie Of Nevada are to be congratulate
ed upon having chosen so wisely and
so well.
Here in Nye county the Republi-
cans have no cause for complaint, al
though there is naturally some disap.
pointment at the defeat of the AN
didates for the Assembly, but the
majority for T. L. Oddie, and other
victories more than compensate for
minor defeats.
The anner in which the county
ticket has been split up shows tina
the electors have followed their owr
feelings and were not dictated by any
hidebound ~prejudices, and this is a.
it should be. Not the least pleasing
feature Of the campaign just CLOSED
was its freedom from personal ran
cour, the contest having been carried
through with the greatest good feel
ing on all sides.

IMPORTANT MINING SALES
John McKane Increases His Vast
Holdings in Nevada.

John McKane has almost concluded
negotiations for the purchase of a
controlling interest in the Grown
Point Reef group of six claims the
property of Donald f. Mccarthy
adjoining the Stone Cabin claim on the
south.
1t is Mr.. McKane's intention to or
gauize a company to be called ''The
Ophir King Mining Company OF Ton
opah,' which will acquire those
claims and also an undivided half in.
terest in the Daylight Hidden Gem
and lie Roe claims which lie between
the above group and the Gold Hill
mine. This interest was recently
purchased by Donald T. Mccarthy
from the estate of the late James
Egan. The entire group will com
prise ten contiguous claims, and from
the recent developments in that part
Of the camp will make one of the most
valuable properties in this camp.
The transaction is of the utmost i'm
portance to the district, as with John
John McKane, president, develop
ment work will be pushed with that
intelligence aud energy which is char
acteristic Of all bis operations in Ton
opah and Goldfield, ard his success
on these claims will attract attention
to Il part Of the camp undoubtedly
good, but which capitalists have
hitherto lacked the courage to pros.
pect.
On Saturday last John McKane
concluded the purchase from Alex
BEETLES Of a controlling interest in
the Blue Light copper mine twelve
miles west Of Sodaville. The prop
erty was worked in the early sos,
opened up to the 200 foot level with
many hundred feet Of drifts, cross
cuts and wines, aud 5000 tons OF
high grade ore was shipped. 1t vas
acquired this year by Alex BEETLES,
who shipped out three carloads Of ore
which netted Y e $500. The ore, a
copper carbonate. occurs in a
crushed zone from twenty to forty
feet wide between a carboniferous
! and blue lime and outerops on the
surface for over 5000 feet, carrying
, small values in gold and silver. There
are 20, 600 tons Of ore blocked out IN
the mine which will ran from six to
ten per cent copper, and also enough
shipping ore running from twenty
six to thirty three per cent to pay
: for sinking a new shaft $50 feet deep
> aud this work has now been com
: menced. The advent Of John Nc.
Kane.into that district means the re-
? vival of interest in a camp which pro.
f; duced millions twenty-five years ago
d and still offers splendid opportunities
to the investor.

The proposed constitutional amend
ment which electors were invited to
vote for or against, but which very
few voted on at all, is an amendment
to the constitution Of the State Of
Nevada whereby mining companies
and mine owners will be held respon-
sible for damages for injuries or
death to men in their employ caused
by carelessness, negligence, improper
equipment or any cause other than
actual unavoidable accident or con
tributory negligence on the part of
the employee. This amendment was
previously presented to the legisla-
ture by the Republicans but defeated
by the Democrats. 1t will be brought
up again in the next session Of the
legislature.

A Purchase by ID. r. Mccarthy.
Donald +. Mccarthy, the well
known operator, has this week pur-
chased from the executors Of the
late James b, Egan an undivided
half interest in the Daylight, Hidden
Gem and lie Roi claims which adj
Join the Gold Hill mine on the east
and the Stone Cabin claim OF the jim
Butler company on the south. The
consideration was 50, 900 cash, the
other bali interest being owned by
the jim Butler mining company. The
claims are not only splendidly located
but recent developments in that sec.
tion have greatly added to their
prospective values.
