date.
The present week has brought the
first real worry regarding the proba

Rowerman Herald

Saturday was pay day ON the
Camp Bird mine and Gold Cross
Mining and Milling Company paid
out 81 1880. OF this amount So
$50 went to the miners at Bowerman.
When Manager George Brant
came in at noon with the checks he
was greeted with an ovation from
the boys. This is the first big pay
day this mine has ever had, and the
distribution of this amouLt of money
livened things greatly for few days
Not many one-year-old camps in the
state can boast of this kind of q pay
roll from one properly.
The Gold Cross Mining and Mill
ing Company about two months ago
took hold of the Camp Bird group
through Mr.. George Brant. Since
that time the company has been in
corporated and much systematic de-
velopment work done. The shaft is
over eighty feet deep ard the vein
has been drifted ON both ways thirty
or forty feet. In doing this work
nearly 800 tons OF ore has been ta-
ken out and is ready for the stamp
mill now under construction.
Tie mill is nearly completed and
it will be running on ore by the first
of the month. The ore is of splen-
did quality, carrying much free
gold. A chunk taken from the vein
weighing about 200 pounds is ON
exhibition in front of the company S
office in Pitkin. There can be- no
question about the permanencv of
the vein and the Camp Bird can
now be classed as a mine Bower
man has other Camp Birds. All
that is needed is development. The
district looks brighter than it has in
many months.

4 MINES AND MINING =
The PD6Setion of QvickGlvcs IN
1908.
1908.

California, Texas and Nevada are
the only States in the Union that
produced quicksilver during the
year 1903. California mines yielded
10, ,526 TASKS. worth $l,33O,9l6.
The production of quicksilver in
Texas amounted to 1929 TASKS,
valued at S2ll,2lS Nevada could
clsim only 65 TASKS as the years out
put. The total production for the
three states was 35, 5,62O TASKS of 765
pounds each, valued at 81 ,544,934.
This was an increase in quantity Of
1929 TASKS, and in value of S77 ,O8G
rs compared with the "a, POI TASKS,
valued at Sl,467 .S4S, which con-
stltated the production of 1902.
A notable incident during the
year was the publication by Prof
William B. Phillips, director of the
University of Texas Mineral Survey
of q carefully prepared statement in
regard to considerable extensions Of
the area in Texas where quicksilver
is found. 1t is evident that quick
silver mining in Texas should in
crease for several years before reach
ing the maximum.
The average price for quicksilver
per flask, in San Francisco, during
the year 1908, was 145.29.
During each of the last ten years
the amount of quicksilver imported
into the country has been small
The amount imported during 1903
had value of Sl,O65. The qui f.
silver exported in 1903 amounted to
IL ,211 TASKS, valued at S7l9,ll9,
of which 1922 TASKS worth SAG,
$40, were shipped from the port Of
San Francisco.
The above figures are taken from
a brief report on the production OF
quicksilver in 1908, which is en-
bodied in the volume entitled
Mineral Resources Of the United
States, 1908" published by the L. s.
Geological Survey. The report is
also pablished in pamphlet form
and may be obtained, free of charge

madness. Only the blind confidence Of
the fighting man led him farther into
the struggle. 5#s
Thorpes descriptions were contained
in the battered little otebook he had
carried with him in the woods, For
each piece of land first there came the
township described by latitude and
east and west range. After this ge-
neric description followed another fig
ure representing the section Of that
particular district. So 4917 VS.
meant section 8 Of the township on
range 40 north, II west. If Thorpe
wished to purchase the whole section
that description would suffice. On the
other hand, if he wished to buy only
one forty he described it's position in
the quarter section. Thus SW-NW
49-11-S meant the southwest forty of
the northwest quarter Of section 8 in
the township already described. +
The clerk marked across each square
of his map as Thorpe read them the
date and the purchasers name.
In his notebook Thorpe had Of course
entered the briefest description possi-
BILE. Now. indicating to the clerk, he
conceived the idea of specifying each
subdivision. This gained some time.
Instead of saying simple, Northwest
corner of section g." he made of it four
separate descriptions, as follows: North
west. quarter Of northwest quarter;
northeast of northwest quarter; south
west of northwest quarter, and south
east of northwest quarter. u '.
He was not so foolish as to read, the
descriptions in succession, but so scat
tered them that the clerk, putting down
the figures mechanically, had no idea
Of the amount Of unnecessary work he
was doing. The minute ha1ds Of the
clock dragged around Thorpe droned
down the long column. The clerk
scratched industriously. repeating in a
half voice each description as it was
transcribed. :
