NEWSPAPERMAN'S TRIBUTE.
w. P. Hatch Tells of Walter O'Brien
and the Empire.

Walter ID. O'Brien is still young
man and the next few months will make
him a wealthy one.
The Empire -Goldfield Mining COM
pany has struck ore-much Ore--rich
ore; and the controlling interest in the
stock, as well as a years lease, belong
to Mr.. O'Brien.
Our hats off to you, Walter O'Brien.
You were shrewd, astute, had faith, and
persevered.
For thirty feet the ledge has been un-
covered, and it will average a foot and a
half in width. Every foot of the thirty
will pan gold-not measly five or ten
cents worth, but dollars worth-yes,
even two dollars worth to the pan.
We were all out to see.
We first gazed alphabetically, with the
smell of Missouri grass in our nOstrils ::
we watched while the soft putty-like
tale crumbled into the pan under the
stroke of the prospector's pick; we
glanced indifferently as the putty
moistened into sticky dough-we little
knew how much dough was there.
Pardon.
The man holding the pan rose. He
titled out all but little water, and the
pan tipped in his hand.
We woke up with shock. We drew
breath quickly. "It's richer than
the Simmerone-another Quartzite-
great guns, what pam
They lay shimmering in the sun-the
little yellow particles, and the roofs of
of our mouths dripped water.
Then we went into that trench like so
many gophers. We dug, and clawed,
and scratched. We panned for an hour,
and ne'er skunk. Take my word for
it, the claim is wonder.
Mr.. O'Brien showed us where he had
had a fake shaft sunk while he was
keeping the stock down in order to gain
control. He pointed out two-inch
streak where former developers had
passed unawares through the ore. He
introduced his Portuguese foreman, who
had tried to buy part interest in the
lease for $1,000 of his own hard-earned
money. And finally he pulled out assay
certificates from his pocket, the smallest
of which went $400 to the ton, and the
largest of which reached the $500 mark.
We came, we say, he conquered.
And the mpire-Goldtield Mining
company has met success.

A district, hitherto but little heard OF,
has Suddenly Jumped into prominence.
This new camp is known as the Birds
Nest district, located about four miles
east OF the Stonewall range. Less than
mile from the Gold Center road IA
small area of eruptive zone has broken
through the rhyolite Gaping. Located
by Wright and Ward year ago, little
attention was paid to it owing to the
prevailing excitement at Gold Center.
more careful prospecting, however, dis
closed the ledge to be of considerable
width and containing values in free gold
for 3 1000 feet or more.
Mr.. Inman, well-known mining
man and careful prospector, submitted
the group of claims to Messrs. Pullen Il
Beardsley representing a wealthy Mil
waukee syndicate, and month ago Mr..
Pullen, in company with the firms asso-
ciate engineer, Mr.. ii. r. Bacon, visited
the property. After very careful
sampling the entire dixie, for width OF
20 feet and fully 600 feet in length,
showed free gold in every pan and the
groupings themselves were sprinkled
with the precious metal visible to the
naked eye. Assays show values from
$40 to $50 Inman was not mistaken
when he said he had ga good thing"
Nothing was said about it until recently
and news now comes today frm the
miners engaged in opening up the claims
that panning richer than ever are now
being found.
The entire area OF the mineral belt is
covered by about 10 locations and is al
most entirely controlled by Pullen and
Beardsley and Mr.. Inman. In appear
ance it would seem that it was an ex-
tension of the Goldfeld belt. The quartz
ledge is fully 20 feet in width, lies be-
tween well defined walls of porphyry
and can be traced 5000 feet or more Il
is one OF the best defined assures to be
found thereabouts and everything points
to another big producer. The lucky
owners are to be congratulated.

AN IMPORTANT DEAL.
Rattlesnake and Corbett Groups
Bought By Big Operators.

Fred III. Vahrenkamp and Willis Geo.
Emerson, and other Los Angeles capi-
talists, have closed deal on the famous
group of mines known as the Rattle
snake and Corbett group, owned by l.. +.
Chiatovich, and located on Gold m )un-
mill. These mines have been worked
for the past 20 years and have been pro-
ducing continually. The ore for years
was freighted by teams to Candelaria
and Sodaville and netted the owner, after
paying all expenses, handsome profit.
The mines are well equipped with gaso-
line holsts, cars, traeNs, bunk houses,
boarding houses, assay office, etc. Over
1900 feet of development work have
been done on the property, which is all
in ore.
The Rattlesnake group has been
opened up by two lateral tunnels run
ming on the vein a distance of 6l8 feet,
100 feet apart, and at depth of 400 feet.
A winze has been sunk at this level over

milling ore.
The Corbett group has been developed
similar to the one above mentioned.
A new company is to be organized by
the fortunate owners, and will be called
the Bonnie Clare Goldfield Mining and
Milling company.
The property is also equipped with
5-stamp mill, but OF the very crudest
fashion. The company will install at
once modern 1O-stamp mill complete
with concentrators and cyanide plant,
and tramways, making it one of the
most up-to-date plants that money will
buy.
A number of experts and civil eng-
neers have been employed by the new
purchasers, for the past ten days esti-
mating the value OF the ore in sight and
blocked out on both properties.
Messrs. Vahrenkamp and Emerson
are men who do things and this is only
one of a number of deals, involving big
capital, that they will probably put
through in the near future. They are
not new to the business and have : re-
ord of successes. Mr. Emerson was the
man who brought the famous Ferris
Haggerty mine in Wyoming to the front .

CAMP McCIBBON.
Butte-Goldfield n. q R. Co. Has Big
Ore Body.

A. w. Longhi has returned from
Camp McGibbon, near Thorpe's Mill,
and brings wondrous tales from that
district. He says the ledge on the Gila
Monster group, owned by the Butte
Goldfield NJ. & Il. Co., is the biggest
thing he has ever seen. The ledge is 60
to 20 feet in width in some places, and
there are Is locations on the course of
the lead. Mr.. Longhi and partner were
among the first in the new district, and
were fortunate enough to secure claims
on this ledge. In some places there is a
heavy Gaping of iron which has to be
gone through before the ledge is found.
A sample taken from 3 feet of ore gave
returns of $50 per ton in gold, and in
panning, free gold is found on most any
part of the ledge. Some samples were
taken from a property located by Mr..
Longhi on what is called spur of the
main ledge. These samples were as
sayed in Goldfeld on Wednesday, and
gave returns of $3.50 per ton in gold.
The veins of the district are said to be
true tissues in granite; strong, immense
lodges, with every evidence of perma-
nency. Mr.. Longhi has sold two of his
locations to some Colorado mining men
for substantial amount, and intends to
retain ownership in the remaining prop
critics. w. A. Stevens of the Butte
Goldfield NJ. & r. Co., returned this
week from Camp McGibbon, and while
there arranged for considerable develop
ment work.

greatly exaggerated and says "there is
absolutely no more danger in passing
through that town than any other town
with similar geographical conditions"

NO ROOM FOR FEATURES-JUST NEWS
Combinations Rich Shoot.

One of the richest ore shoots ever
found in the Goldield district was
recently opened up in the Combination.
Owing to the policy OF the Combination
management in refusing to give out any
information regarding its affairs, it is
impossible to give exact figures regard
ing the value of the ore, but it is known
definitely that large fortune was taken
out of a small piece OF ground. The
strike will probably prove second to
none ever made at Gold6eld.

CalifOrnia.GOldfeld.

The stock of the California Goldfie eld
Mining company, advertised on page
IL OF this paper, has advanced in price
from five cents to seven and a half per
share. \ telegram announcing this in
crease in price was received by Wilbur
J. Hall, manager of the Goldfeld office
of the II. ID. Robinson company, late
last night-too late to permit of chang
ing the advertisement. The cause of
the increase in price lies in the fact that
the first block of shares allotted to this
company for disposition at the price of
five cents, has been exhausted. But
more than this, development work on
the property has already shown that
good values may be struck at any time.
Just before the departure of Superin-
tendent Knickerbocker for the coast
assays running from 81 to $5 at the sur
face were secured. The shaft is now
down 10 feet and although the work has
not been sampled for this week it is
evident from the appearance of the ore
found that there is an increase in values.
The five cent stock was disposed of in
San Francisco, Los Angeles and Gold
field and went very rapidly. The pro-
motion is being made on legitimate
lines and the men backing the company
are known to be conservative, able min
ing men and capitalists. 1t is the in
tention of the directors to sink POO
foot shaft without stopping.

New Western Reduction Company.

The mill of the New Western Reduc-
ton company will be in operation next
week and the company will be ready to
purchase ore about the 25th inst. Fire
was started in the boilers on Tuesday
and the company is pumping water to
the tanks. The stamps are in place,
concentrators set and practically all the
machinery installed. Both coal and oil
will be used for fuel until it is deter
mined which is the more economical.
Oil is being brought in a big tank wagon
from Tonopah, a twelve mule team be-
ing constantly on the road hauling oil
by tank wagon.
The merger OF the Pacific coast smelt
ers not only permits this company to
remain in the field but strengthens the
position of the company and it's ability
to handle all grades of milling and
shipping ores. While the new merger
is independent of the American Smelt-
ing d Refining company friendly rela
tons exist and will be maintained.
Ophir Camp.
Foster Bros. and Hit, who are work
ing for Jas. Mclaughlin and associates
at Ophir camp, twelve miles south of
Silver Peak, came in last Saturday and
bring good reports from that section.
They are running tunnel on the King
of Nevada claim which is now in 80 feet
but they expect to 90 90 feet further be-
fore tapping the ledge at depth of 100
feet. However they have already en-
countered several stringers of tale and

started very soon. Owing to the ex-
treme dip OF the vein, it is not consid-
cred advisable to 60 deeper in the pres
ent work shaft. The mine is looking
well and the ore body in the 200 foot
level is as strong as ever.

THE JAPANESE RED CROSS
It Is Probably the Finest organiza-
ton Of the Kind in the
World.

The Red Cross society OF Japan is
probably, all things considered, the I'm
est organization Of the kind in the
world. 1t has been growing and improy-
ing constantly since Its small origin in
1877. and now has nearly a million mem
oers, an excellent relief organization
and large funds, writes Anita Newcomb
MCGEE, in ~The American Nurses in
Japan in Century. It's methods are
radically different from any volunteer
aid we have yet seen in America. for its
fundamental assumption is that the
army knows its own business and is com
petent to attend to it. Its general atti-
tude, instead Of implying I'VE know the
medical department will break down in
the field, and therefore we insist on
going to the front and into the camps to
supply its defects, indicates this: The
people Of Japan appreciate so highly the
work OF the medical department that
they ask the privilege OF assisting it,
On the contrary, in the spanish-Amer-
ican war we had a multiplicity Of small
societies, meaning well, but working
blindly and at ross-purposes. accom-
plishing good at an altogether dispro-
portionate cost Of money and labor, and
not infrequently interfering with and

The Japanese Red Cross society is
characteristic Of the nation; for every
war. campaign and great disaster since
its foundation has been to its officers a
lesson by which they have profited. In
the present war they are always on the
alert to discover their defects, to learn
how to remedy them. and to gain new
ideas for improvement. II was as one Of
many means to attain these ends that
some American army nurses were want

ELLIS WHAT THE AUTO DID
Device Which Indicates to the Owner
the Movements Of His
Chauffeur.

An ingenious German instrument has
been imported which will prove to the
owners Of automobiles JUST what their
cars have been doing in the hands of
the hired operators, which may pre-
vent those worthy men from taking
theater parties out at night and riding
through the streets at railroad speed.
It is called a yelograph, and. besides
registering the speed of the car in mo-
lon, it keeps a record of the number Of
stops and varying speeds. In other
words, the record will show just what
he car has been doing without word
from the man who drove it, and should
prove an effective check to the indis-
criminate use of the car by men hired
to drive them for their owners.
The device, though both a speed regis
ter and a chronograph. is simple, An
ordinary timepiece, with the dial re-
volving, instead Of fingers. furnishes
the chronograph The DIAL or clock
lace, is a separate cardboard disk. which
san be removed at will. The spaces be-
tween the dial numerals, instead Of be-
ing divided into "fves, as in ordinary
clock spaces. are divided into four sec
lions of Is each, thus making so in all,
% denate the minutes in each hour.
Attached to the timepiece is an or
linary speed register, connected with
he hub of the vehicle. This speed
register shows the usual rotary set OF
figures denoting the number Of miles
Travelled. At the end of every mile,
however, a marker. which protrudes
above the rim Of the clock dial, shoots
forward and registers the fact that it
has been recorded. This marker being
stationary, and the dial chronograph re-
volving, it follows that as every mile is
on the dial cardboard the
apsed time will also be shown.
Similarly when the vehicle is stopped
the marker still continues to register
while the disk revolves. There being
no miles to be recorded, the register

terence Of the disk, denoting that the
vehicle was motionless during the hours
