CHLORIDE CLIFF.

Particulars are now given out of
another big strike in the Funeral range
at Chloride Cliff in south Bullfrog. four
miles south of keane springs, and not
Is miles from Beatty. Brief mention
was made of an important deal over
this property in our Fourth of July
edition of July Sth, bur the details
have been kept quiet until now. J. P.
Garnet, the rugged old Nevada pio-
neer, came in town Sunday night and
gave us the story.
The strike was made on the De Bath
and Johnabe claims which were located
by j. P. Garrett, Tom Jones and Bax-
ter on June Goth, 1904. A sale of the
property has just been concluded to j.
Irving Crowell of Los Angeles. The
B~ullfrog-Cliff Mining Co. has been in
corporated and work will be
ed by the company at once. The ledge
shows up for 1900 feet in length and
six or seven feet wide on the surface
and the values run from $50 to as high
as 500. Thirty dollars is the poorest
assay seen by Mr.. Garnett. A tunnel
has already been run, drifting o. the
vein for 40 feet, and ore now on the
dump will much more than pay for
all the work done.-Beatty Bullfrog
Miner.

that time to even justify the sinking
of an artesiar well.
The cost of the water system will
approximate close on to $4,000. The
pipe alone cost nearly So 600, the ex-
act figures being s36,627.45 up to date.
The cost Of labor. lumber, etc, will
easily run the total up to within $751;
600 or $4,000.
Perhaps the sweetest of all music to
the ears of the average resident of the
desert is the "babble of the brook"
1t is certainly an inspiration to go up
to the headgates of the Bullfrog water
system and see the sparkling spring
water gushing out of the gashes in the
rocks, and listen to the "babble' as
the mountain brook wends its wild way
down to captivity in the cage built by
the Bullfrog Townsite, Water and Ice
company.
From the point where the water
comes out of the rocks on the mountain

in this city the fall is 81 feet.
There are between 20 and 80 miners
inches of water flowing constantly into
the 1l-inch pipe at the intake. This
means a flow of approximately 100000
gallons every twenty-four hours.
This is only about so per cent of the
e%ompany's water The pres
ent connections are ample to supply all
possible present demands, and When
more water is needed for domestic and
milling purposes another spring capa-
BILE of almost duplicating the present
supply will be utilized.
The fittings, the non-arrival of which
has delayed the completion of the Bull
frog ice plant, came in Monday last,
and Superintendent Turner set right to
work putting them in place.
The water is running into an impro-
vised tank, but this will be diverted to
the huge water cooler, from which the
supply for congealing purposes will be
obtained directly. The superintendent
thinks that things will be in shape so
that he can commence making ice by
this time next week.

The diamond rock drill is the inven-
tion of Fl. Herman, an American, whose
crude patent is exhibited in the Patent
Office at Washington. The invention
was in 1854.
The Nancy Hanks mine in Garnet
district, Montana, has a production TO
its credit of $4,000, 900 from the placer
mines, which are still producing, and of
about 81, 100000 from the more recent
quartz mines.
Among the most noted cinnabar
mines in Mexico are those of HUT
zuco, near Iguala, in the state of Guer-
zero. The sorted ores run III to Q
per cent quicksilver, though some Is
per cent ore is worked.
The compressed air rock drill is the
invention of S. Ingersoll, who in 1871
applied for patents. The Ingersoll-

drills are at work in all lands
The tunnel through the Simplon is
the longest in the world, being 21,567
yards, or a little over 12H miles in
length. 1t travels almost in a straight
line from end to end, from Brigue, in
Switzerland, to Iselle, in Italy.
During the fiscal year just closed,
the Hall Mines smelter at Nelson, b.
G., treated 16.4ll,070 pounds of lead
which was sent by SS4 mines. The to-
tai amount of the ore received was
36,611,422 pounds, from which the lead
was obtained.
A gold mine is being operated in Ire
land with what is said to be a good
showing of success. 1t is called the
Donegal gold mine and is located in
In~ishowen. The reef is rich in silver
and lead as well as gold. 1t is calcu-
lated that the silver and lead will pay
for working, leaving the gold as profit.

LAST CARDS,

Voters should pay no attention
to any political cards that are issued
at the last moment before an cleo
ton, which are intended to injure
the chances Of any candidate. 1t
is unfair and cowardly to bring
charges against candidate SO late
that he has no time to refute them.
1t should be taken for granted that
such charges are held back only be-
cause their author knows that they
can be disproved if there were time
to do it. If one candidate resorts
to such methods to injure an oppo-
nent, his effort should operate
against him instead of in his favor.
These last cards thrown in at the
last moment, too late to be answered,
are worthy of no attention whatev-
er, and no intelligent voter will per-
nit himself to be influenced by
them in The least.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1905-06-01

and will so continue until these de-
manded reforms have been secured.
Second, Legislative apportion-
ment, as commanded by the consti-
tuition, to the end that the member
ship of the Legislature may proper
~ represent the voters of the state.
The continued refusal of the Re
publican machine to heed the con-
stitutional command is political
crime of first enormity.
These two propositions accom-
pliyhed, needed reforms in many
other matters affecting our govern
ment will necessarily follow and we
therefore present them as the issues
of this campaign.
While the officials to be chosen
at the coming election will not have
power to effect all these reforms,
yet a popular rebuke at the polls of
our present political domination
will do much TO eventually over
throw it.
We pledge our candidate for
state treasury to reform the abuses
of the treasury, particularly the dis
tribution OF the surplus in favorite
banks, and we favor the passage of
legislation to return this unnecess.
arv accumulation of public money
to the people, that local taxation
may be reduced.
