George S. Nixon
To be Senator.

After a new mining camp has been
discovered II is often difficult to get
cap.ta to develop It, and nearly every
bonanza now IN the camp could have
bssn bought a little more than a year
AGO for song. Take for instance the
Jumbo. Charles d. Taylor young
canadian, located II In May 1903, and
after he had located II he offered to
wlI Il FOR $50, and could find no taker.
m August Of this year out Of a hole
l0ysx6 feet he and his associates took
is2 900. Some OF the ore running az
hIgh as $4,000 10 the ton, and sin
rle shipment Of 20 tons realized $4,000.
The first outsider to put any money
into the Goldneld district was Mr..
George $. Nixon OF Wlnnemucca Ne
nda. who with George Wlngfeld OF
Tonopah, put his money into the
Grandpa district as II was formerly
called on Columbia mountain, where
the famous Kendall and Sandstone
properties are situated Mr.. Nixon
was born IN Placer county, California.
April 2, 1860, and came to Nevada as
a boy being an operator first az
Candelarla In this country, and then on
the Central Pacific at a small station
called Browns, between Reno and
Wlnnemucca. In 1884 he obtained a
position In the First National bank at
Reno In 1885 he organized the First
National bank at Winnemucca. OF
which he was cashier and manager
until 1891 when he became its presl-
dent In 1890 he bought the Silver
State one Of the best newspapers I'm
the state, which he owned and con-
Quoted until 1902 Besides being pres
ldcnt Of the bank at Winnemucca, he
Il general manager OF the Nye &
0msby banks at Tonopah, Carson
and Goldfeld and II is stated on good
authority that he is about to establish
q bank at Columbia, one mile from
Godfeld He Is also president OF the
Loyeock Mercantile company and OF
he Lovelock Land and Development
company which has reclaimed and
placed under cultivation several thou
sand acres OF land at Lovelock. This
company had 1000 acres IN alfalfa and
wheat last year--the experiment In
wheat showing that Nevada could
nlse 80 bushels 10 the acre.

THE COMBINATION
Few mines have produced 100000
I'M the first year Of their history, such,
however Is the record OF the Combs
uation-the pioneer mine of the camp.
10 has produced TO date nearly 100000
worth of shipping ore and S3jO,OOO worth
of mill ore. In October alone $4,000
worth Of ore was shipped and 800 tons
Of mill ore raised IN the same time
Without a foot OF stopping the first
100000 worth OF shipping ore was pro-
duced. Tie Combination Is developed
by a shaft 3lj feet deep ana there are
about 200 feet Of drifts and Crosscuts.
The lowest workings are at the ESQ
foot levAl ana here q beautiful sui
phide ore, showing gray copper, Is
encountered which goes $500 per ton,
The Combination not only paid for IL
self I'm the FIRST year but provided the
money to pay for a good plant Of ma
chmery and handsome Office building,
q substantial reduction mill now being
erected under the direction OF Ira Boss,
Jr., and q lO-mile ditch and pipe line

company has also paid a regular quar-
tcry dividend Of $4,000 and still has !
a handsome treasury reserve.

IN BEST LOCATION

~ plAnI LAVA iOANt
The property above alluded to, which
was the FIRST location made IN the
Grandpa district, was that Of the Co
umhia Mountain Mining company, and
consisted Of p claims. The locations
were made two and one-half years ago
by W. A. Marsh Harry Stimer Jim
Butler Harry Ramsay and Tom Ken
dall-al Of Tonopah,
The property is right In the heart OF
the Goldneld district, short distance
north Of Jumbo and January, and south
Of the Sandstone and Kendall, and
west Of Damondaeld Good values
were found, and as above stated, Mr.
Nixon and Mr. WlnRfeld, an enterprs-
Ing, up-to-date buri7css man Of Tom
opah, secured an interest Money was
needed for development purposes, and
a company was Incorporated on seven
OF the claims and 100000 shares OF
stock were offered at 20 cents a share.
Joseph @. Butler OF Youngstown, o.,
Frank NJ. Kirk OF Cleveland, and
Charles Il. Knox president OF the Mon
-Tonopah Mining company bought
it and paid into the treasury $4,000 the

incorporated under the names Of the
Sandstone Mining company, the Ken

Work Of great importance to the dis

When II has penetrated the mountain

judges have declared this to be the
mother lode Of the district, and should
anything like the values found near
the surface OF the Kendall and Sand

Manning township gave majority
of q. four for the straight republican
county ticket.
This with the estimated vote of the
precincts yet to be heard from makes
it seem certain that on the republican
ticket, M. F. Woesner for treasurer
and Bruce Miller for register of deeds
are elected and the republican leaders
are claiming the election of the entire
county ticket, with good reason for so
doing.
The republican state and national
ticket will carry the county by about
$50 plurality. For the legislature
Messrs. Streeter and Belden will carry,
Mr.. Belden having about as many
votes as Streeter and Sherwood COM
'bined. Sherwood's vote is estimated
at about $50 in the county.
No disturbances at the polls have
been reported.
