Monitor
Double Disc Drills

Have q positive force feed that's ad-
Unstable perfectly to all conditions.
They have two Fat discs Of equal
size 50 set that absolutely no dirt can
enter between them.
They have outside ssrapers that per-
init the uso Of the drill in wet or sticky
soil at any time without clogging.
The disc bearings are absolutely
dust proof and wear for years. They
have positive oil tubes that never fail
to lead the oil to the bearing.
The wheels are set just six inches
from the outside discs, so that tho op-
orator drives with the wheel on the
last disc track, thereby getting perfect
spacing.
These and many other advantages
are all found on the Monitor Double
Disc. Besides, the discs can be inter
changed at any time with shoes or
hoes.
We have them in use in the Red Hills
and on tho prairies, on white land and
muck aand, and everywhere that wheat
is grown and have positively never
known a case where the drill failed to
work, wet or dry.

LEASING SYSTEM IN eoLDFIELD
Opinion Divided as to Whether or Not
It is a Benefit.

The question is being mooted wheth-
CT or not the leasing system is a good
one for Nevada mining camps, says the
Deseret News. Since January i, when
most of the leases expired in Goldfcld,
important strikes have not been re-
ported so frequently, and the sentiment
1f outsiders here is that the lease sys
ten is hest for the progress of the
camp. Mine owners frown upon 1T as
I rule. They admit that it helps to
rring a good mining camp into quick
prominence and results in the employ
ment Of a large number of men, but
they point out that once the lessees
strike rich ore they proceed to Sougc
the mine and not to develop it on last
ing lines. AS capital is not wanting
in Goldfeld, the lease system seems to
have received a black eye. Profession
VI ~lessees on the other hand, claim that
it is impossible in any case here to get
4 lease for over a year, and that if the
nine owners would follow the practice
Of Leadville in the early days, and
lease for five to seven years, 5000 min
ers would find employment here in a

IN UPPER SURPRISE CANYON.

Word has been received in Goldfeld
of a remarkable strike in the upper
end of Surprise canyon of the Panamint
'ange by Jack Curran, who is m of
the oldtimers of that section. This
canyon is probably one of the most in
teresting of the entire range.
The claims discovered show a well
defined ledge for more than a thou
sand feet and a rich shoot of shipping
ore. Nothing whatever has been done
in the way of development work,
hat as soon Us q trail can be bull,
shipping viii he commenced. The
formation of this part of the range
is lime and quartzite and the lodges
IRE on the contact.
II is stated that De Lamar is about
to take over the Radcliffe group of
properties, which have produced sew
cral hundred thousands of gold. The
vein of these claims shows a strong
f~issure, in places 40 feet wide, at q
depth OF 1,100 feet, and is developed
ny tunnel. 1t also shows Is or 20 feet
Of $23 ore, on the surface.
The World Beaten mine. owned by
Monte Montgomery is producing some
wonderful ore. Many thousands are
being extracted from a ledge that aver
ages $75 a ton, and much of it runs
into the hundreds of dollars.
The Tyler Bros. have just closed a
deal on their claims with eastern cap
i~talists for 9 5000. They have opened
up a fine ore shoot. and il is expected
that when the mill i, in operation that
they will probe ore of sensational
values.
One of the greatest discoveries ever
reported from the Panamint section is
that of Tom O'Shannesy, who has just
found a ledge that is owe 100 feet
wide. Thirty feet OF ore "n the hang
ing wall runs high, and much shipping
ore is expected to be taken out. This
