BURNT HILL GROUP

Patent work is in progress on the
Burnt Hill group of claims which lie
just east of the Portland. The territory
is held by syndicate of Colorado men,
and operations are in charge of p. Mil
ler. Five distinct leads have been dis
closed, but as yet values are nominal
1t is the intention to proceed without
delay with the work necessary for the
acquiring of title from the govern
ment. AS soon as this result is at
tanned main working shaft will be
sunk and the various ledges be ex-
plored at various depths for the pur-
pose of determining their extent and
value.
SECURE LEASE ON SEPTEMBER
Messrs. Lotus and Davis have been
granted lease on the September claim
owned by the Goldfeld Mining com
pany, and Wednesday the work of sink
ing shaft from surface to depth of
100 feet was started by contract. The
lease covers period of Is months and
carries the customary royalties. The
ground is considered to contain excel
lent prospective values and is traversed
by a number of leads at surface upon
which fair grade assays are being OBJ
tanned. 1t is the intention of the
lessees to prosecute systematic course
of development work at the 100-foot
point with the object of proving up the
lodges at depth.

GOLD PRODUCTION
FOR WEEK
LOCAL MILLS AND SAMPLERS
HANDLE 1401 TONS OF ORE
VALUED AT $211.120
of This Amount 537 Tons Having
Value Of $53, 700 Went Out
By Rail

A total of 1,401 tons of ore, having
a gross valuation of $211, ,12O, is the
record of the camp for the week end
ing yesterday. OF this tonnage there
was shipped out over the railroad 23
ears containing 537 tons of a gross
value of $53,700. The figures indicate
falling off in both value and ton
mage over those of the preceding week.
due to an error in compiling the re-
turns, whereby that portion Of the
output handled by the railway, and
which represents largely the tonnage
sampled at the plant of the Columbia
Sampling & Ore company, was includ-
ed in summing up the totals. This mis-
take in giving the output of the two
previous weeks was purely clerical
one, and was not deviation from
The News established policy of tell
ing only the truth. 1.-THE truth is
good enough Notwithstanding this
decrease, however, the record is one
on which the camp can pride itself, for
it represents a monthly production of
better than $844,480; and this with no
returns from the Gardner mill avail
able, with the Frank mill closed down
pending the installation of more ade-
quate machinery, and nothing but ex-
perimental work in vogue at the plant
of the American Milling company,
which has but just entered the milling
field.
The Columbia Sampling & Ore com
pany sampled $50 tons having an aver
age value of 1912 per ton; the New
Western Reduction company handled
a total of 1876 tons of an average grade
of $135 per ton; the Combination mill
treated 275 tons of $40 rock; and the
American Milling company made an
experimental run of 80 tons of $50 ore.

CAMP WELLINGTON
PROVING UP
LARGE AMOUNT OF DEVELOP
MENT WORK BEING DONE IN
ALL PARTS OF DISTRICT.
Prosperity Evident on Every Side and
Conditions Improving as Elk
ploitation Progresses

Encouraging reports continue to be
heralded from the Wellington country
and are Indicative of the fact that the
mines there are being developed on an
extensive scale. The prosperity ap-
pears to be uniform in all portions Of
that mineral belt and conditions are
improving so rapidly that plan is be-
ing formulated to lay out town Site
On the properties of the Wellington
Goldfeld Mining company gasoline
hoist has been installed and the shaft
lowered to a depth of 120 feet. AS
says on the vein matter in the bottom
return general average in gold values
OF $9.40 to the ton; picked samples
have returned values as high as $67.40
to the ton; and in one instance the
control assayed at the rate of $500 in
gold per ton. At the 120-foot point a
crosscut is now being driven to the
south for the purpose of reaching the
ledge showing at surface. 1t is antici-
pated that it will require about S5 feet
OF drifting to accomplish this result
and Immediately contact is gained the
lead will be exploited for an ore body
of pay values. In the course Of sink
ing the shaft stringers of vein matter,
ranging from / to 6 feet in width, have
been encountered, all of which have re-
turned favorable assays. In places the
ledge tops the surface of the ground to
height of IL feet and in the course
of assaying it no barren places have
been encountered. The management il
prosecuting thorough course of devel
opment and the prospects for finding
values in paying quantities are CON
sidered bright
The mineral conditions on the propl
erty of the Nevada Nugget Mining
company, which adjoins the Wellington
holdings on the west, are also above
the average and presage the finding Of
permanent pay values with depth and
exploitation. A shaft has, been sunk
to depth of so feet at point about
100 feet distant from the side line of
the wellington; and when it has at
tanned depth of 125 feet a crosscut
will be extended for the purpose of as
certaining the extent of the Wellington
lead which passes through Nevada
Nugget territory. During the progress
OF sinking number of feeders with
pitch toward the north have been cut.
They range in width from to IS
inches and in every instance have re-
turned high grade gold values. These
conditions indicate the presence of
large ore body in the immediate vicin-
ity. In the lead cut during the work
of sinking some u feet of vein matter
has been encountered on the foot wall,
which assays well. At surface the gen.
eral average of assays is around the
$40 mark, but picked samples assay
away up in the pictures. The district
is located about 25 miles east of Gold

THE COMMONWEALTH

George Winkler, Elmer Chute, Tom
Murphy, cole Elliott and AL Meyers
are about as lucky quintette as the
average man meets with during the
course of his earthly pilgrimage, for
there is not a member of the outfit who
is not already to the good as the result
of his trip to Goldield. Luck as rule
never comes in small packages, one of
the best evidences of which is the fact
that pay ore has been disclosed in the
Commonwealth group of claims owned
by them. In a drift run from the bot
tom of the 30-foot shaft 6-foot vein
has been encountered which returns
average gold values of $25 to the ton.
The screenings bring the grade up to
from $38 to $40 per ton, and a good
bit of the latter is now being sacked
The residue returns values around the
$1S mark. The work at present in pro-
gress is largely experimental, but not
withstanding that fact small shipments
! are being made. 1t is the intention to
! explore the ledge at the 30-foot point
4 and to then lower the shaft and prove
up the ore body at depth.
Still another evidence of the fact
that fortune favors these men is the
II announcement of find of pay ore in
II the Commonwealth No. 5. This par
ticular strike was made in that por-
tion of the property under lease to
Brite and associate In crosscut run
from the bottom of the 85-foot shaft

d progress of drifting for the main ledge
on which assays of $40 in gold are be-
ing secured. At surface the outcrop
pans well for a distance of $50 feet. 1T
also carries silver and per cent of
gray copper. The latter is indicative
of the finding of permanent pay values
at depth.

CHESS CHAMPION HAS
SUICIDE MANIA,
Pillsbury Is Temporarily Insane After
Operation in Hospital at
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa, April lin a fit Of
insanity Henry \. Pillsbury, the Ameri-
can chess champion, tried to end his life
by jumping from a fourth story window
Of the Presbyterian hospital yesterday.
He struck down one nurse and fought
savagely with several other attendants
before he was oyerpoWered and forced
back to his bed.
Pillsbury entered the hospital as pa
tient last Sunday, and was then appar-
emily III possession of his full mental
powers. An operation, the nature of
which the hospital physicians would not
divulge. was performed on him Monday,
and since that time his condition has been
somewhat precarious.
Pillsbury has been III i'll health since
his breakdown at the Monte Carlo tour
nament two years ago. Lack Of exercise,
continued smoking of black cigars, and
too close application to chess are RESPONSE
BILE for his trouble. His condition recent
1y prevented him from participating in
chess tournaments, and this is believed to
have caused him much worry. A New
Highlander by birth, he has resided i'll this
city for five years. Mrs. Pillsbury for
merly was Miss Bush of Brooklyn. Her
husband long was a resident of Brooklyn
and achieved distinction as a chess player
when a member Of the chess club of that
city. Since his residence here he has
been a member of the Franklin Chess
club and has played on all the Important
team matches.

EIephantine D. T.

Tody Hamilton tells this story Of the
late L. I. Barnum, with whom be was,
associated for many years. The great
snowman in his declining years was ad-
Vlsed by. his physicians to abstain from
an splrltuous, liquors. He became a.
crank upon the subject Of total absti-
hence, featuring to many audiences upon
this subject. A woman who heard him
lecture afterward met him one daV al his
home in Bridgeport
why do you preach total abstinence
to huma nifty" she asked, when it is wei
known that you allow your trainers to
feed Jumbo four gallons Of whisky a day
and ten pounds Of tobacco?'
"Neyer thought Of that" said Mr..
Barnum. and he almost ran to the tele~
phone, calling up the winter quarters Of
the show, and in his squealy voice gave
the order, Give Jumbo no more tobacco.
or whisky"
Next day he got the following message
from the trainer: "Please build a pad
ded cell for Jumbo, and send down at
once 5000 grains Of bromide. He's got
-. Us Oh account of 2. r., and has got
the delusion that he is performing in
kentucky." Jumbo got his regular four
gallons after that. "-New York Times.

Sun Latest Patent Medicine.

1t may be looking very far ahead, but
the time when houses built on rotary
platforms will be common is bound to ar
rive. This, at least, is the opinion of DR..
Darlington, health commissioner of New
York. The experiment has already been
made in France with success and only
the cost prevents a general adoption of
the idea. the rotary platform house is
not fad. Its primary purpose is to en-
able the sun to reach all rooms in the
house and give the benefit Of the suns
rays to everybody. The sun kills disease
germs and its rays constitute the best
disinfectant known. Hospital houses for,
consumptives built on rotary platforms
would be the ideal domicile for those
affected. DR.. Darlington is not the only
physician in New York who thinks the
sun is going to waste in quarters where
it might be used with great benefit. He
says the Aztecs were not such fools after
all in worshiping the sun, for from that
benefcent orb many curative properties
are radiated. He points out the differ
ence between the physical condition of
night workers and that of their more
lucky brethren who are permitted to do
their work during the day. He attributes
it to the sun in a large measure.-New
York Letter.
