GOLD BAR

Among the companies in the Bullfrog
district which have attracted a con-
siderable amount of attention the Gold
Bar property has perhaps received less
mention than it really deserves, says
the Mining Investor. The following
information is from an entirely UMPIRE
JUDGED and thoroughly reliable mining
engineer now In the district. His re-
port is solely from the news standpoint,
and is published as a matter of general
interest. He says:
1--WE visited the Gold Bar a few days
ago, and 1 imagine a few notes on the
property might be of interest. Com
paratively little is heard of it either
here or on the outside, but for real,
straightforward mining it is behind
none. The earliest development was
mainly by open cuts, which showed the
vein to outcrop for not less than two
thousand feet on Gold Bar ground. }
believe hat values and good ones have
been found in every opening made 50
far. The width of the vein is still un-
known; on the little hill where tho
main workings are located it is prob
ably not less than 200 feet. 1t has not
yet been trenched continuously for that
distance, but has been opened in a num-
Der of places, and in such a manner as
to leave no reasonable doubt that It
will have that width. Some of these
surface workings show excellent values.
A cut about 500 feet south of the main
workings averaged $3.50 for its Is
feet of length. Another 1000 feet TT
more north of the main shaft averaged
$50 for 16 feet.
"There is a shaft down $50 feet with
some drifting at 80 feet. But most of
their development has been at the $50
foot level. Drifts have been run north
and south from the shaft, following the
hanging wall and aggregating at pres
ent 800 feet in length. These are SAID
to show an average value of about $35,
with occasional punches of shipping
grade.
''The most interesting piece of work
on the property is the crosscut which
is being driven east from the south
drift to reach the foot wall. At the time
of our visit it had reached a length OF
90 feet all in solid vein matter and no
sign of a wall yet. The vein filing is
mostly quartz, but in places shows n
very considerable amount of c~alc-spar,
with more or less manganese. Superin-
|tendent Bedford states that the aver
age of his samples representing every
one of these ninety odd feet is better
than $50. When one takes into account
the fact that this is an ore which will
crush freely and ~amalgamate well, it is
certainly a very remarkable showing.
Water can be brought by gravity from
springs about five miles northeast, ami
is said to be sufficient in quantity to
meet requirements for milling for some
time to come. Taken altogether, it looks
like a big proposition to me. 1t IS
either that or nothing
The same correspondent adds:
"You may have had more or less
sensational reports in regard to a strike
on the Four Acres. The facts are
about these, that they sunk through the
wash between Montgomery and Lada
mountains and came into a lead. They
are not far into it yet, but are getting
some good looking rock

The merchant who fails TO advertise
n his home paper is working against
the interests of his own town. Outsid-
ers judge a place by the number and
character of its business establish
ments, and the foreign reader looks to
the advertising columns to inform him
on that line. Every business man who
does not advertise is making the
towns outside rating that much less
than it should be. An attractive "ad''
is not only a business maker, but a

HAD THE N

A Nevada prospector by the name of
Williamson was in Salt Lake yesterday
on his way east. He had been pros
pecting in Southern Nevada for ten
years and 'struck it, at last in the
Bullfrog district. In his pocket was
$1,000, mostly in thousand dollar bills.
He is going home, having reached the
determination to quit mining forever.
He was very reticent about his affairs,
only stating that his roll came from the
sale of five claims.-Salt Lake Herall.

Federal Government Could Do Great
Good BY Establishing One

oO0a ~
In an article in the Denver Mining
Record, Carl H. Paddock thus ably sets
forth the legitimate claims of the min
ing industry Of the United States to n
position in the cabinet equally with
that of agriculture or commerce.
Government investigation of tech
nical problems is economy written in
millions. For example, the agricultural
department may spend several thou
sand dollars on one investigation or
series of Investigations. As a result It
becomes possible for perhaps as many
thousand farmers, by taking advantage
of the information thus gained to effect
a saving of 800 each. Yet it would
have been impossible for any of the
farmers, as individuals, to carry on the
investigation. BY working along these
lines, however, the federal government
can add millions to the net annual in
come of the country.
"In mining the opportunity for prof
liable investigation by the government
is even greater than it is in agriculture.
Every time l cent a ton is taken of
the cost of production of any of the
principal ores, one cent is added to the
available wealth in Zach of the count
less tons of that ore lying in the
ground.
"Metallurgical progress is rapid.
Mineral land that was valueless a few
years ago is now worth thousands of
dollars an acre, because recent methods
have made it possible to extract the
metal from ore that could hitherto be
handled only at a loss. 1t sometimes
happens that ore thrown upon the dump
some years ago can now be treated with
greater profits than were obtained n
the first operations. Zinc sulphides
that were left standing in mines as
worthless are now taken out and help
cess, the fltering press, the tube mil,
the modern dredge and numerous other
methods and devices nave greatly ex-
tended the sphere of mining and en-
HANGED the value of mineral lands.
"Metallurgical advance, ven more
than the discovery of the new ore de-
posts, improvement in mining methods
and the extension of railroads, adds to
the wealth derived from the mineral
resources of a country. Moreover, there
are many metallurgical problems whose
solution cannot be attempted, except
in laboratories of the governments, r
those of large corporations.
eff done by the government, the re-
suits of the metallurgical investigation
becomes common property and tends TO
place large and small operators W IL
an equal footing. If left to large cor
porations, the tendency of technical
progress is toward the establishment {
monopoly. The effect of government
investigation along this line is, there
fore, twofold. On the one hand it in
creases wealth and on the other it pro-
notes a wider and fairer distribution OF
wealth.
Experimental metallurgy would
probably be the most important work
taken up by a federal department ef
mines. The possibilities of a metallur-
gical bureau are and in con
~nection with the geological survey It
would undoubtedly made the new de-
partment a great power in the material
progress of the nation

A good deal of work was done last
year in the cemetery to keep down OBJ
noxious growths that choke out the blue
grass and impair the general appear
ance of thatplot of ground, but it was, in
the main, a temporary affair. The GENE
terry ought to be cleaned, and kept clean,
if it requires the removal of the entire
surface for two years and that is about
the only way o~kill out the honey
suckle. At this season of the year it
can be handled to much better advan-
tage than later on and we suggest that
such steps be taken to make Columbia s
cemetery as neat as other towns have,
and to show the public that we are not
forgetful of the dead nor unmindful of
the fact that a few feeting years, at
best, many will be- placed there. If
the town cannot do it, if unwilling to
spend that much money, then let the
ladies take up.a subscription for this
purpose.

in the future value of this great COM

small beginning, within four years, set
a little over one-fourth of an acre and
have 10000 seed that will come up this
spring. 1 have 100000 seed of the 1904
crop stratifed that will be ready to
plant this fall and terminate next
Spring. Last year I sold $155. 90 worth
of dry roots, most of which were culti-
waited wild roots, and in that buuch /
had one root that weighed near 2 OF
and sold on the Louisville market fol
$1.10. This was fve-year old cult.
waited root. l have, in a quiet way,
watched the market and the interest in
the growth of the plant and my opin.
ion is that the production is not keep
ing pace with the consumption and il
the price is affected within the next
few years it will be in favor Of the pro-
Queer. There is every reason to expect
the highest prices for first-class roots
for many years to come. The business
seems in its infancy.
