A satisfactory adjustment was made
this week between the Daisy Mining
syndicate and the Jumbo Extension
Mining company of the differences
arising over conflict between the
Black Butte No. /, owned by the latter
company and the Daisy No. 2, the prop
erty of the Daisy syndicate The
ground in controversy embraced about
three acres. Both companies claimed
prior locations and there was some talk
of a suit, but representatives of both
properties after some negotiations set
tied the matter in manner satisfac-
tory to all concerned. Both companies
have applied for patent and expect to
be in possession of a receivers receipt

These are the questions | am going to
try 10 answer for you the best ! can
On first reaching Reveille and exam
ining the claims Of note, was aston
ished at the surface showings Of ore,
and the quality Of it, The extent Of
the old workings and the present lack
Of interest and abandonment surprised
me. Scores of claims on which consid-
cradle work had been done in years
gone by, were now deserted, abandoned
and opened to any one who desired
them, and prospeetors passing by on
the wagon roads didn't stop to investi-
gate them.
Some reason for this apathy is found
/ in the general idea that seems to pre-
vail, that all the mineral ground in the
district is "staked," while some will
tell you that the campis worked out"
and the pay ore long ago taken out and
shipped away. That the camp is
worked out" | will not agree, as
great portions of it have never been
touched, while the largest shaft or
tunnel is but beginning of the work of
making a mine. The conditions under
which ore was formerly shipped, often
on the back of burros, the distance to a
market and the expense Of mining has
been greatly changed for the better
since, and ore that it would not pay to
ship in for years, would give a good
profit to the miner under present con-
ditions.
That there is "pay ore" in the camp
there can be no question. An assay OF
groupings will often give over 1OC
ounces of silver to the ton, while large
lodges and even the old dumps, will
generally average from 40 to lOC
ounces. Picked samples are not rare
that run from 600 to 1900 ounces in sill
yer to the ton and there is ore now be
{ ing taken out, that win assay well VI
r in the hundreds.

Merckle and VanMoore of Tonopah
are doing The annual assessment work
on their ground on North Mountain and
have a ledge Of fine ore.
f. "A. Moore, a aweIl-lnown San Fran
cisco mining man, who is associated
with capitalists of that city, has spent
several months ii Reyeille, and the
longer be has stayed there the more he
has been taken with it. IN conversa-
ton with a BONANZA representative
this week he made the following state
ment:
After nine months spent in eastern
Nevada | am prepared to say that there
are great opportunities there now, and
that there win be for many months,
4 probably years, to come.
AS the greater portion Of my time
has been spent in the Reveille district,
it is Of that part of Nevada that am
better prepared to speak. There, as
elsewhere, one finds the desert and the
mountains in close proximity and exper-
fences the heat of the one and the light
air of the other in rapid succession;
finds the sagebrush predominating on
the desert and the scrub pine and cedar
the only timber of the mountains, while
fresh water on either is thing more
valuable than gold. There too, one
may witness the sudden springing of
life into portions of the desert and
mountainous country hithertofore be-
lieved worthless and uninhabitable; first
tent or two, then q dozen more, fol.
lowed by frame buildings and after
wards stone, to develop finally into q
town and later on into city.
From our camp in Reveille the blasts
from three or four camps can be heard
and prospectors ever following in tn,
trend Of new strikes can be met OF
their way to add to the camps popula
ton Reveille is not new camp, bu
has existed as a mining center 70
! twenty-five or thirty years. Old loca
tion monuments on which only the ashe
! Of the location notices now remain ar
; numerous. Old tunnels and shafts an
piles of ore, from which the best wa
long ago sorted and shipped, exist i
many localities. The high grade or
was shipped years ago to a market tw
or three hundred miles away, and tn
old cabins and dugouts that served tn
purposes twenty years ago, are bein
used again by newcomers.
These tunnels and shafts, these pile
of ore, these cabins and old monument
e and the little staked enclosures thi
i mark their last resting place in nam'
e less grave, are all that now remain
y tell to US the story of the hopes ar
t struggles, the hardships and failures ,
c those who went before US.

: offer to the mining man?
e Does its towering mountains of graz
ite and lime, its inexhaustible stretch,
e Of porphyry and quartzite, contain mi
J, erals in quantities to pay for extra

IS Is there unexplored ground for Il
prospector and are there possibiliti
for the capitalist?

Big Denver Strike.

Senator T. L. Oddie received a tele-

Darcy of the Denver, which stated
that from two to four inches of ore
that will go nearly $1,000 to the ton
had been encountered. Next to this
streak are nearly three feet of ore that
will average from $3.50 to $500. Sena-
tor Oddie says they have drifted 40 feet
on the ledge on the third level and that
it isssa wonderful body of high grade
shipping ore.

On the ground of the Smith-Scofield
lease all is rustic, preparing to sink
shaft and have all in operation before
another storm comes, says the Masonic
Pioneer. Ground is being cleared pre-
paratory to the sinking of shaft on
the lower ledge of the property and a
crosscut will then be run westerly to
tap the other lodges showing on the
surface. Their ground is about 200
feet from the northern line of the
Weitfle Eastwood lease and runs for
$50 feet on the ledge with width of
300 feet. They are taking out at pres
ent some very fine looking ore; it is a

put on the dump and will be milled in

Practiced Other Frauds.

Practiced Other Frauds.
Washington, D. C.-The publication
Of the charges against Senator Burton
of taking fees from the Chickasaw In
dams while he was Senator Embossed
the tongues of high officials in the In
terror Department, and two other Sc
rious charges came out. One is that
Burton never made any appearance
in business for the Chickasaws before
the Interior Department, but that he
represented to the head men of the
tribe that he did, and collected large
fees from them for his alleged services.
Burton, before he became Senator,
represented to Secretary Hitchcock, it
is said, that he had been selected by
the ChickasawS as their counsel, and
asked him, as Secretary of the Inter-
ior, to approve his contract with the
tribe. Mr.. Hitchcock refused to do
so on the ground that the. Chickasaws
did not need an attorney. Notwith<
standing this rebuff Burton, it is
charged, made. the Indians think he
| was looking after their interests, and
| proceeded to collect his pay from their
funds. which were not under the COL
troll of the Secretary of the Interior.
Another charge against the Kansan
is that while he was Senator he pre-
scented a claim from a ranchman in
Texas to the effect that the nan lost
500 cattle during a fight between Uni
ted States forces and Comanche In!
| dams, which took place on his ranQA
The amount claimed was $25 700, tor
which Burton succeeded in getting
Judgment in favor of his client. ="
A number of men who lived in the
vicinity are said to have reported to
the department that while there was a
| fight the claimant never had 800 cat
| tie, but had at the time about eighty,
and they were fully 200 miles away
from the scene of the fight.

A dolls fair is always of the greatest
interest to children, but it may be no
less charming to grown people if it is
skilfully planned. Indeed. 1t may be
more than a mere fair. and an admis-
sion fee may be charged that all may
come in, at least to see what it is like.
Booths should be made to represent
the different rooms in q dolls house,
and those who serve in them may be
dressed to represent dolls. The first
booth may be the kitchen, hung around
with saucepans, pots and kettles, with
q small range and kitchen table at the
back.
The dining room booth is managed
by some one dressed as a waitress doll,
and about the family table. is seated a
group of dolls from father and mother
to the baby. All the doll furniture and
the papier-mache food on the table
may be for sale as we'll as the dolls.
The third room, the parlor, has sofas,
tables and chairs, and here are the
most fashionable dolls, men, women
and most beautiful young lady dolls.
Beyond this may be the nursery with
baby dolls being bathed, dressed and
fed, with the cradles, high chairs, nurse

Kansas City, Mo.-In the small
towns new stores are being opened
everywhere. For several years i'm
provements have been chiefly confined
to residences and repairs to buildings.
Empty houses were filled, and unoc-
3upied stores began to have tenants.
Now there is scarcely an empty store
building, and many new structures
are seen in almost every village. Some
little towns in the wheat belt have
added a dozen store rooms to their
capacity this year. This al a great
1eal'of additional trade, and is the best
index of the effect of generous returns
from the fields.
In the furnishing of their homes the
farmers are also making great strides.
Common furniture of the vanished oak
variety is not good enough for the av-
erage farm house these days. The
plush parlOr suite is a drug on the
market. Going into a farm house 200
miles west of here the other day, q Wis
itor found it fitted out with mission
furniture, with Flemish oak bookcases
and Remington pictures on the wall.

better taste in adornment. This indi-
Gates a new era in business, for it
calls for a higher standard Of supply in

MUNICIPAL LIGHTING PLANT.
Toledo's Council Votes For Bond Issue
of 100000.

Toledo, Ohio.-First fruits of the ar.
guments of Mayor Dunno along the
lines of municipal ownership were
born in the passage by the Council of
a resolution allowing the issue of
bonds amounting to nearly half a mill
ion dollars for the construction of a
municipal lighting plant.
1t was planned by the traction COM
pany to saddle this issue with bonds
for more than a like amount for the
construction of two bridges. This
would make the bonds for which the
people would vote exceed a million.
and it was argued that the proposition
would fail on account of its size.
Council not only delayed the bridge
question so that it cannot get on the
ticket this fall, but also rushed the
lighting proposition so that it will
reach the people at the fall election.
Local newspapers have been making
a great fight for the plant since Mayor
Dunno spoke, and Mayor Finch used
brilliant arguments before the Council
showing what an immense saving this
would be for the city, quoting freely
from DUNES address. 1t is practi-
cally certain that the people will vote
to build,
