much redder than when 1t Is pure.
 The purest coins ever made were tl.s $50 pieces which once were in common use in California Their coinage was aban- doned because the loss by abrasion was sC great and because their interior could be bored out and filled with lead. They were octagonal in shape and were the most valuable coins ever minted and circulated
 All gold Is not alike when refined. Aus tralian gold Is distinctly redder thah that taken in California. Moreover, placer gold Is more yellow than that which is taken from quartz. This is one of the mysteries of metallurgy, because the gold in placers comes from that which is in quartz. The gold in the Ural mountains is the reddest in the world.

PATENT AIR COMPRESSOR.
Cummings Il Shaw Improve
Upon Other Models.

A patent a is being perfected by
H. l.. Cummings and c. l.. Shaw
for an air compressor called the
Little Giant. From a model
made and put in operation, the re-
suit appears to be contrary to nat
ural laws. 1t works on the prin-
ciples of the Ist, end and 3rd closed
levers, so combined as to cause the
steam end to gain power over the
air end, and at the same time to
cause the air end to travel onet third
farther than the steam end. 1t has
four air cylinders, and a practical
test shows its capacity to be much
greater than the Duplex, one of the
best air compressors heretofore in
vented.

BONDING WITCH GROUP
Ely Man Takes 60.Day Option
on the Witch, Witch Gore and
Louise Mines.
NEGOTIATIONS PENDING FOR
SALE OF SOME 80 MORE CLAIMS

q
Last Saturday. a deal was
closed between John Magnuson,
Jim Ostergard and q local min
ing man which may increase the
bank account of the two former
gentlemen by $50, 900. 1t was a
6O-day bond, given by Magnu-
son and Ostergard for the Witch,
Witch Gore ai.d Louise mines.
This group of mines, which lies
in the heart of the copper belt,
is almost surrounded by proper
ties of the Nevada Con. Copper
Co.
The general belief among the
outsiders who have discussed the
deal on the streets is that another
company nearly, if not fully,
equal in magnitude to the Nevada
Consolidated and the Giroux
Consolidated, will soon be in OPP
GRAFTON, and that the above deal
is only the commencement Of the
acq uisition Of 30 claims in the
neighborhood of the Witch group
which the new company Will
work.
ID. N. Harper had bond on
the Magnuson-O Ostergard proper
ty last summer, and it was only
on account of a series of unavoid-
able misfortunes which Mr.. Har-
per suffered that prevented his
taking the property up.

"REMINISCENCES
From "The White Pine News" of
March Is, lS74...Copper then
Undiscovered.
THERE WAS NO TOWN OF ELY
DURING THOSE BOOMING TIMES

White Pine at it birth, six
years since, was a progidy. The
chloride ores of the Hidden
Treasure and Eberhardt were un-
known to the North American
continent and had a parallel only
in the Chanarsillo and kindred
Chilean mines. Their richness
running Into the thousands and
their docility extending nearly to
assay value, excited the greed or
interest of all within hearing.
These, together with the misap-
prehension of their extent, caus
ed by the profuse exhibition on
chloride and bromide flats, in
famed the public to IL degree un-
known since the birth of Califor
mia. Electrified by the prospect
of intcrminable wealth multitudes
took their line of march for the
new Mecca. Within the first
season some 10000 or $1,000 men
had established themselves in hutS
and caves 5000 feet above the
sea. In the midst of the small
pox, with the thermometer at
zero, a carnival of riot and spec
ulation was inaugurated. Mines,
land, wood and water were
claimed. Towns were built, lots
rose to the thousands and mining
clai us, good, bad or Indifferent,
were bought and sold at uncon
scieusable prices.
In the first two years of this
great rush over 1900 claims
were recorded, by far the greater
number being in the first six
months of the excitement. The
first mill erected was ten stamp
one and within little over a
year 2l2 stamps were ready for
operation. Before the close of
1863 the population of the dis
trict exceeded 10000,
During the good old days on
Treasure Hill and when the
above was written, no one dream
ed of the square miles of copper
ore in Robinson district. The
greatest drawback in those days
was the lack of Il railroad to han
die the enormous traffic, and like
the proverbial saying about
hristmas, a road has been a long
time coming. But, thanks to the
owners of the copper fields, we
shall soon hear the locomotives s
toot, and the name White Pine
will once more become synony-
nous with mineral wealth,
among mining men of the world

WANTS HEAVY DAMAGES
Chairman Mining & Electric Co.
Sues Salt Lake Hardware Co.
for $60,O00
LIEN SUIT BROUGHT AGAINST
CHAIRMAN CO. FOR $4,000

The suit brought by the Chain
man Mining & Electric Co.
against the Salt Lake Hardware
Co. came up in the Federal Court
in Carson before Judge Hawley
on the 10Th inst. The suit was
for $50, 900 damages claimed to
have been sustained by the min
ing company, : by reason of the
Salt Lake firm not having the
Chairman mill machinery in place
within Il contracted time. The
Hardware company was under
contract to turn the mill over in
running order by October 1, 100 =,
but did not do so till the first of
December.
The plaintiff attempted to prove
that it lost GO days running on
l5O tons of So. 80 ore per day,
from which s. per ton would have
been net. The defense claimed
it WAS ready, willing and able to
have the machinery in place ac-
cording to contract, but the
Chairman company was at fault
in not having the frame work of
the mill ready to receive it.
The Chairman company was
represented by Judge Cheeney of
Reno, and the Hardware com
pany by Charles Dey of Salt
Lake. The Judge took the case
under advisement, pending the
filing of briefs.
The defendants in the damage
case are the plaintiffs in an ac-
tion to foreclose hen for $l4, 900
against the Chairman company,
before the same court. which was
argued by Messrs. Dey and
Cheney on the 18th inst. No
decision has been rendered yet.
The lien, which covered the
chairman, Chairman Gore, Tur-
key and "V" mines and the Ely
electric light plant, was filed in
Recorders $ Office in this county
two years ago, and was to cover
balance due on the machinery
placed in the mill. The Chain
man company claimed the ma
chinery was not as represented
or ordered.
1t will be remembered that the
Salt Lake Hard ware Company
installed the machinery in the
mill of the Butterfield Gold Min
ing & Milling Company at Osce-
ola. for which that company re-
fused to pay the full price claim
ed, claimings as did the Chain
man, that it was not as repre-
sented by the Salt Lake agent,
nor as ordered. A lien suit was
brought in this county in 1903,
but the Boston people were too
poor to fight it and the plaintiff
bought in the mill at sheriff sale.

M'DONALD IS GOVERNOR
Colorado Has Three Governors
Within the Short Space of
Twenty.fOur Hours
ADAMS DENOUNCeS TRANSACTION
AS A HlGH-HANDED OUTRAGE

The bargain made by the lead
ers of the opposing Republican
factions of Colorado to take the
Governor $ chair from Alva
Adams and to seat in it Jesse +.
Mcdonald after permitting Jas.
f. Peabody to hold it for one
day, was carried to conclusion
late Friday afternoon,
In fulfillment of the agreement
which he made before the Cen
eral Assembly that decided the
gubernatorial contest in his ia
vor, James II. Peabody has re-
signed the Office in which he was
inaugurated last Thursday after
noon. His resignation, of which
w. S. Boynton of Colorado
had been custodian since We'd
nesday, when it was written, was
filed in the Office of the Secretary
of State at APO p m. Friday.
James Cowle, Secretary of State,
Immediately certified Governor
Peabody s resignation, and Lieu
tenant-Governor Mcdonald was
then sworn in as Governor by
Chief Justice Gabbert. There
was no further ceremony.
Governor Adams was ousted
and Governor Peabody installed
by the General Assembly ut )
O'Clock Thursday afternoon, and
Governor Mcdonald was sworn
in before o clock the following
day. Thus in the space of less
than twenty four hours Colorado
had three Governors.
Governor Peabody transacted
practically no business of state
while in the Office of Governor.
He received many callers who
urged him not TO resign, and also
many messages of the same inn
port by telegraph and telephone.
To all of these he replied that he
did not care to hold the chair.
He said that he was tired of the
worry and excitement of his con
test and wished to go back to his
bank in Canyon City.
Half Il dozen members Of the
National guard patrolled the cor
ridors about the executive cham
Der during the day as Il guard
for Governor Peabody.
Lieutenant Governor McDon-
aid reluctantly takes the chair
which Governor Peabody resign
ed after forcing Governor Adams
out. The Lieutenant Governor
has taken no part in the bitter
fight over the governorship,
which has been waged ever since
the election on November Sth. |
He absolutely refused to aid his
friends in the legislature in their
efforts to have him made govern
or, and as presiding officer in the
joint assembly he made several
rulings against the movement in
his behalf.
Senator Arthur n. Cornforth,

ernor by the elevation of the lieu
