ruLE N NOTES

Instructions have been received TO
commence work on the Gold Top prop
erty.
At the Big Bird a new double com
partment shaft has been started which
will reach the vein at about the 80
foot point.
The shaft on the Owl group belong
ing to John E. Ansel is now down 100
feet and sinking will be continued with
the expectation of cutting an ore shoot,
float carrying values as high as 5000
been found on the property.
Surface assays on the ledge upon
which the shaft is being sunk run from
$14 to $16 to the ton.
A. d. Renfro has a force of men de-
veluping what is known as the
Cement vein. This is a conglomerate
vein of great width, situated in Upper
Tule canon near the Esmeralda placer
ground. The values are low grade, run
ming from So to 81 per ton. The large
quantity of this ore and the ~cheapness
with which it can be mined makes this
"a good milling proposition.
Great excitement was caused in Tule
canon by the finding of some extraor-
dinarily rich float in Upper Tule. Mr..
Burson, the deputy recorder, has in his
possession a piece of this float that s
at least 20 per cent gold. Mr.. Weber
offered 800 for the ore but was unable
to secure it. At the Alice the company
has resumed sinking at the 100-foot
level and a fine body of ore was found
at this point.
Joe Williams returned Wednesday
from Tule canon where he inspected
the mining property recently located
by himself and three associates. The
location work has been completed upon
the entire group of FIVE claims and as
says are being taken at the surface
from various portions of the ground
with a view of beginning development
work at once. The sample taken as
saved a little better than 50 to the ton.

Beatty. They win be gone about four
months.
After passing several days in in
speeding the Major Harrison lease on
the Red Top, in which they are inter
ested, and visiting other portions of
the district, John Bauerschmidt and L.
E.. Mitchell, two Baltimore capitalists,
left today for Tonopah.

WORKED WITH EUGENE FIELD

L. F. Norton, who has charge of the
Office of the Florence Mining company,
was once engaged in newspaper work
Eugene Field on the st. Louis Journal.
He speaks with tender recollection Of
Field, as do all who ever knew him.
Mr.. Norton was for years associated
with A. D. Parker and T. G.. Lockhart
in their mining operations, but drew
out two years before Mr.. Lockhart
located the Tonopah Extension. Had
he held IN two years longer his inter
est would now be worth above the
million mark.

ERECTING K MILL

Ground was broken last Monday
morning for the Kinkead mill which is
to be erected on the east slope Of Co,
lumbia mountain for United States Sen
ator Nixon and George Wingfeld. The
work of excavating and grading for
the foundation is now well under way
and will be completed within the next
week. The plant is to treat ores from
the Sandstone, Tonopah Club and other
mines in which Nixon and Wingfeld
are interested, and will also do general
custom work. A cyanide plant, having
a capacity of 80 tons per day, is to be
installed and all the equipment is to be
of the most modern type.

It all prospects a little free gold. The
claim is located about 2 miles east II
Goldheld, and both it and its neighbor,
the Alhambra, also owned by the
Talmadge people, are considered ex-
cellent prospective mineral territory.
Within the past few days several par
ties have visited the ground n as a
result of their inspection applications
for three separate leases have been
submitted to the management.
Work is to be started on company
account on November /. As yet 1T has
not been definitely decided what mode
of procedure will be inaugurated,
whether a tunnel win be run for the
purpose of cutting the ledge at depth,
or if a shaft will be sunk on the out
crop; but in either event it is the pur-
pose to thoroughly develop the ground.
If the tunnel mode of exploitation IS
put in vogue the bore viii start on Al
hambra ground and will be extended
across into Atlanta territory. As soon
as values of moment are secured a
working shaft will be sunk to connect
with the tunnel and the ore body thor

pany owns some 600 acres of mineral
ground in various portions of the camp
most of which has been proved up and
is being advertised for patent.

that can be employed at present. The
main shaft has been trimmed and tim
bered in fine shape and is being now
sunk below first level where a station

WOODWARD GROUP SOLD

Kansas City capital is to develop the
Woodward group of claims located
about HAIR a mile east of D~iamondield.
The deal whereby the territory passed
into the hands of the men from Mis-
souri, was contaminated this week and
entailed a consideration of SIS. 900.
The buy is considered cheap at that
price as the ground is located in the
best portion of the mineral zone of the
Di~amondfeld country. 1t is the inten-
ton of the new owners to at once in
augurate a thorough system of devel-
opment work and to explore the acre
age at depth.

company, which joins the Cornishman
claim of the Florence company ON the
east and is a short distance south of
the Jumbo. Harry George Jones has
n lease and is drifting from the CO.
foot point in the shaft. The drift has
attained a vertical depth of 100 feet
and is in fine looking quartz. Two
shifts will be put on Monday and the
lessee will sink $50 feet from the 60
foot level If pay values have not been
found before. E. L. Mofitt has an.
other lease on the north side and is also
meeting with encouraging results.
There is a massive outerop on the Bee

Humanity's sporting blood coursed

what happened, and it is disap-

We had some hope, we hoped
against hope, when we read that
"Colonel" Lawson called upon
"Colonel" Greene and they shook
hands; remembering that not in
frequently some very entertaining

that they simply behaved like tra-
ditional colonels and went and

A Southern View.


The section that grew great out
of the ashes of defeat, and rose
grander than ever out of the blood
lest rebellion the world ever saw,
will not be hurt much by reduc-
ton of representation in Congress.
We can stand that reduction if the
Republican party, can stand it,
and we will not whine nor beg
quarter. The time will come in
this country of ours when men
and not money will be the ruling
force of the government. The
time will come when this will no
longer be republic of the people
by the people for the people. We
don't like Mr.. Roosevelt now any
more than we did on the 1st day
of November. We do not believe
he will make this section a good
President, and the belief that the
will is justified when it is not
known that he is in favor Of rob-
bing this section of sixteen Con-
gressmen.
In favor of doing that, and why?
Simply because we require ar
educational qualification, just as
is required in many Northern
States, and simply because this
educational qualification prac-
tically disfranchises a lot of ne
groes who are no more fit to cast a
ballot than a lot of mules. But
for that reason a bill is to be put
through Congress that will reduce
our representation in the body.
No politics demands the reduc-
tion, and no apparant frauds JUS
tifiy it. We are entitled to just
the representation we now have
and any scheme that denies it te
us concocted by party in such an
overwhelming majority is as de-
spicable as to "kick a dog when
he's down."
But again we say we can stand
it. 1t don't matter now if we lose
sixteen members in Congress, the
time is not far away when justice
and right and men and democ-
racy will rule the government, ano
put the money changers and graft
ers out of the great temple of the
people.
1t is sometimes unpleasant for

Not always the best policy to say
things that do not for the time
meet public approval. But ''hav-
ing opinions we dare express
them;" have always done so and
always expect to do so. 1t is moi
our purpose to offend personally.

lie questions makes anybody mad

Big Lead Deal.

The rumored purchase of the
Central and the Desloge Lead
mines by the Gugenheims, owners
of the Federal and Derby mines,
is now reliably said to be made.
Messrs. Gugenheim, Beatty, Pal
mer and Hammond, of the Gugen-
helm corporation, have been here
since Sunday, having come in
over the Illinois Southern in their
special car which was run down to
the Central switch. Monday cleo
tricians were busy connecting
electric wires from Central to the
car. For some time it has been
rumored that the big mining COM
pany has been on a deal for these
two rich mines. No definite in
formation could be received direct
from the companies, the officials
refusing to be interviewed. But
proceedings have gone SO far that
it is now known the deal has been
made. The new properties will
pass under control of the eastern
company the first of the year. Oh
course the price paid is matter
not at all public, but we have re-
liable authority for saying the
Central stock was bought at not
less than $3.50 a share, the par
value being 500 a share. The
amount of money reaches into the
millions; with the newly acquired
properties the Federal Lead Com
pany becomes by far the largest
in the State, and the Gugenheim
corporation the largest in the
world, owning mines in New and
Old Mexico, Colorado and Central
America. There is another rumol
ahoat that the Gugenheims have
contracted for the entire output oi
all the lead mines of this district
for two years, though we cannot
| speak for the reliability of this re-
port. Belt Nesos.
