THE PUBLIC -FoREwARNED.

The Twentieth Century Miner IS
certainly entitled to free advertising
in these columns. 1t is published ty
that genial soul, Mr.. R. L. Bernier, VINO
is not unknown to the printers of New
York. In that benighted town NJ.
Bernier had the misfortune to run a
sheet which he chose to call the "Na-
tional Oil Reporter" 1t is a pity that
he should try to repeat here his record
in the East. His especial edition
(denied by the mails as second class
matter) is one of the veriest frau'is
that we know of. And that is said adj
visedly. Here for example is a cap
tion-that is a heading: "Reilly left
$500, 900 in the Florence shaft when
lease expired" The thickness of this
genial 'feditor'' is shown here clearly
enough. In a court it would be impos-
sible to prove that he did not. For
you would have to bore to the center OF
the earth to prove this Bernier person
a liar. The Bernier person issued a

KNAvERY VERSUS HONESTY.

1t seems strange that men of ability
will strive to "fool the public says
the Mining and Engineering Review.
The greatest living American writer
has said, most truly, ga liar is only
one kind of a fool.' just think that
over for a moment. He is never At
peace with himself, he is always and
forever on tenter-hooks, and in the end
what does he accomplish? If these
takers who are "forever and a day
trying to do 'tcrooked work. would
only turn their minds to things that are
worthy THEY WOULD REALLY
HAVE MORE MONEY. And that is
what they are after all the time. The
fact seems to be hat there is a lack
of brain power; they do not seem 10
be able to see this truth that is so self
evident to most of us that it's ,repeti-
tion is almost wearisome. Does the
mining engineer who makes a false re-
port "ever get there?" On your life
he does not, and this paper actually as
serts its belief that the best known
mining engineers owe their success al
most as much to their known honesty
as to their excellent qualities as mining
men.

Conservative Operators Invest Heavily
In the District


(Tonopah Miner.)
The undeniable merits of the old
Silver Peak district, thirty-seven miles
southwest of Tonopah, continue to at
tract conservative operators, as evil
denced this week by the sale Of the
valcalde mine. This property, COM
prising sixteen claims situated about
two and a half miles south of the Blair
mine, was located in 1865 and has been
worked spasmodically ever since, q
small three-stamp mill having pro-
duced several thousand dollars BIZ
crushing ore from the richest shoots in
the mine. 1t was recently brought to
the notice of the O'Meara-Lynch COM
pany and after an inspection by NJ. j..
o Meara and Thos. J.. Lynch, Clyde
Jackson was deputed to examine AMI
sample it, and on his favorable report
the purchase Of the property was COM
pleted this week. Although the mins
has been gouged of the richest ore in
sight. there is a vast tonnage imme-
diately available carrying values from
So to $43 a ton, with the extension of
the richer ore shoots to be opened up.
Included in the purchase is a forty
acre patented water right with enough
water for an immense mill. This will
be pumped to an elevation about two
miles distant and thence will run by
gravity to the mine. The O'Meara-
Lynch company will at once install a
ten-stamp mill, the framework and
buildings for which are now in T no.
pah, and this will be increased AS the
mine is developed. The mill ami
pumping plant will be operated by
electric power, negotiations for the
supply of which are now pending with
the Nevada Power company, and it is
hoped that the plant will be running
within the next ninety days. The pur-
chasers are convinced that in the Val
calde mine they have secured another
bonanza in the state which has
brought them such great returns on
their previous investments.
j. H. Hornung this week took a bond
on the Worth group of six claims,
which on the surface shows values
running from Sc to 1924 a ton. He
has already secured the necessary cap
ital for development, which will be
commenced next month.
The Mohawk-Alpine is looking won
derfully well, the shoot of h~igh-grade
ore maintaining it's width and values
as the work progresses.

WILL ESTABLISH LARGE
CREAMERY THIS FALL
Cream Is Promised From Over 500
VIII Be of One Ton Daily Capacity

w. E. McCadden, manager Of John
B. Agen's Whatcom county creamer
les, spent several days on the island
this week investigating the dairy sit
uation with view to establishing a
large creamery here. He was here
with the Bellingham excursionists
and was so pleased with the glimpse
of the valley which he obtained then
that he stated before leaving that he
would return in few days and make
a careful canvass of the island to as
certain the present status of the
dairy industry and the prospects of
it's expansion. He has done this
thoroughly and has returned to Bel
lingham greatly pleased with the sit
uation and determined to have first
class creamery Of large capacity in
operation as soon as possible. Be-
fore beginning his canvass he said
that if he could obtain reasonable as
surances of obtaining the cream from
500 cows from all points in the county
he would not hesitate at all about es-
tablishing creamery here. In less
than three days time he was prom
ised the cream from more than 500
cows on this island alone, and there
are number of successful dairymen
whom he did not have an opportunity
to see. In addition he has the names
of nearly fifty dairymen on Lopez
and Orcas islands, most of whom
will probably find it to their interest
to ship their product here. Il have
visited some of the finest farms I ev-
er saw anywhere said he just before
leaving Thursday. There is great
future for the dairy industry on this
island. We will put in a first class
plant here, with No. 4 churn, with
which we can easily make ton Of
butter day. We will also buy all
the fresh eggs that are offered US
and will pay the highest market price
in cash, whether they are brought to
us by the farmers or the merchants. !"
A desirable location on the water
front has been secured upon which a
new building especially suited to the
purposes of the business will be erect
ed as soon as possible.

FAVORABLE REPORT ON
ISLAND SANDSTONES
Paving Blocks From Sucia, Stuart
and WaIdron Islands will be Tried
on Seattle Streets.

Mention was made in recent issue
of the ISLANDER of a visit of members
of the boards of public works of Seat
tie to the stone quarries on Stuart,
Waldron and Sucia islands for the
purpose of examining the stone and
estimating the amount s'in sight, for
purposes of comparison with quarries
at other points whose owners are en-
deavoring to secure contracts from
the city for paving blocks. Supt.
Walters, of the department of streets
and sewers, who is member Of the
board and was with the party on it's
inspection trip, is quoted by the Post
Intelligencer as saying of the Sucia
Island quarry, where thirty men
are now employed, that the stone is
apparently very good. The Stu
art stone he says appears thorough
ly good" Waldron stone was used
in building erected at Port Town
send eleven years ago, since which
time the quarry has not been worked.
Careful tests of samples of paving
blocks from the three quarries are to
be made to determine the wearing
qualities of the stone on different
grades before large contracts are en-
tered into.
