ceeded the legal limit, and when thar
time came would no longer sign orders
for warrants.

not inclined to worry over the matter oi

The tale Of Henderson Lueling crossing

country, reads like a story Of the heroes

originated the Black Republican and
Bing cherries, two Of the most profta-
BILE varieties Of this fruit raised in the
state. The work these noble men have
done for the fruit industry Of the state

Many other farmers he says have done
the same thing this year, and it would
be surprising were it known just what
amount Of advertising is done for Hood

Everywhere the apples went they
elected proiuse praise. Their equal had

PROFITS IN MINING.

I am often asked whether | believe
that money is to be made in mining
enterprises, especially in gold, silver
and copper properties. | answer un-
questionably in the affirmative, says
Jasper. The history of this and every
other county tells it's own story. Prob
ably greater fortunes have been made
on small investments in the mining of
precious metals thar in any field of
human endeavor, and this very fact
has stimulated in some instances an
transportation in mining properties,
just as we have had instances of over
speculation in Wall street, an | all the
speculative commodity markets. The
element of uncertainty entering into
la.ly attractive to those wh) love to
venture a little on the prospects of Sc
curing much in return, and the I'M
deniable fact that men by lucky
strikes have rapidly risen from the
lowest ranks of poverty to the high
est ranks of wealth, has given to the
mining of gold, silver and precious
stones almost a romantic turn.
The average investor who would
readily believe in the probable profits
of a street-railway enterprise, or a
paper mill, or a contracting venture is
filled with doubts and suspicious as
soon as a mining investment is pro-
posed. He can think of nothing but
sailed claims and bogus assays. The
facts are that no more scoundrels are
fleeing lambs that browse around
mines than are operating every day in
Wall street in every other prominent
industry.
There is as good money in mining
as in any other staple, legitimate line
of business, and brains, ability and
foresight are as sure to win out in that
field as in any. The man who seeks
mining stocks, and who will exercise
the same care and discretion as in
other investments, will find them much
more profitable. One would not buy an
interest in a dry goods store without
knowing something of the business, or
taking the advice of some one who did
know. So with a mine; he who would
invest proftably must either know the
mining industry, or he must depend
upon some individual of good reputa-
ton who is informed. There are hun
dreds Of honest mining engineers
men who would not allow themselves
to be connected in any way with a
shady enterprise. The advice of such
men is a safe guide, just as the sincere
advice of a Wall street magnate would
be safe-if it could be had.

THE PEOPLE ARE SUFFERERS
But the Southern Pacific Company
Doesn't Care.


Although it is a slow moving body,
the postoffice department usually acts
when the public requests action to be
taken. There is a condition of affairs
existing in Western Nevada which 10
d~eplorable. 1t is due, not so much to
the building of the Hazen cutoff, as
the manner in which that section of the
Nevada and California railroad be-
tween Mound House and Fort Church
i'll is operated, says the Carson News:
At present the transmission of mail
matter is slower than If a mule team
were used. Letters written from such
nearby points as Wabuska require
three days to reach Carson City when
four or FIVE hours should suffice If the
railroad connections were mad as they
should be.
The Nevada and California road.
which is operated by people back east
somewhere. who do not understand or
will not understand conditions here.
has placed a stub train on the line be-
tween Churchill and Mound House
which has conscientious scruples
against running on the holy Sabbath
day, but the Lord will not lay that up
to it's credit, for the profanity it causes
Is even a greater evil.
This stub train has a methodieal
habit of leaving, but not arriving on
time, and pursues the even tenor of its
way in such a deliberate manner that
the passengers may get out and stretch
their legs when they choose and sit be-
side the track and await the train g
overtaking them.
No. IA, formerly the Reno local, but
now the Tonopah special, is rarely on
time at Reno. But tho stub train al
ways starts at the scheduled moment
and enjoys its dolce far niente at the
other end of the line.
If arrangements were made by the
Oregon Short Line people, who operate
this train, to have it wait at Mount
House as many minutes as No. IA is
late at Reno and also cut down its
running time twenty minutes, as well
as chase over the line on Sundays, all
would be well, for the Virginia s
Truckee people would cut down their
schedule so that connections could be
made.
This would obviate the existing trou
blss, which effect Reno, Carson City,
the southern camps and all points
along the line of the three railroads.
The postal schedule has been knock
ed into a cooked hat and the people
are tremendous losers, especially those
who have large holdings in the south
ern mines, or who are engaged in the
mercantile business, printing news
papers, etc. In fact. everyone is di-
rectly or indirectly a loser.
There is a method, undoubtedly, in
the maunes of the Southern Pacific,
Oregon Short Line, Nevada and Cali
~fornia, or by what name this hydra
headed corporation should be appel
lated. 1t doesn't seem to want to make
these connections. 1t ignores it's con
tracts with the government. 1t is re-
ducing the temperature upon a certain
local corporation with the intent to
freeze it out.
This greed on the part of the cor
poration is hurting the people more
than it is the road that it desires to &C
quire by fair or foul means.
A howl of indignation should go up
to the postofice department. 1t is
probable that this matter will come
before the Business Mems association
Friday evening.

TRUTH ABOUT DEATH VALLEY.
Worlds Greatest Depression Is De-
scribed by One VINO Knows.

In California, near the Nevada line,
bounded on the west by the Panamint
range and on the east by the Funeral
range, lies Death Valley, the greatest
known depression in the earth, varying
from 100 to 400 feet below sea level.
From Coffin mountain in the Funeral
range a cheerful view of Death Valley
can be enjoyed. Names and surround
|ings inspire the traveller with pleasant
thoughts and admiration for the
pioneers who so appropriately desig-
mated the valley and mountains.
Death Valley proper is a scope of
barren desert about ten miles wide by
ten miles long, lying in the great de-
preston between Panamint and Fun
eral ranges. IL is the bed of a dry
lake. below sea level from 100 to 400
feet. The surrounding country is of
volcanic nature, and there is evidence
that Death Valley was NEE the center
of fiery activity. Perhaps it may be
the extinct crater of the worlds great
est eruption.
Some Of the springs in the valley
are poisonous, impregnated with min
eral salts. North of Funeral creek on
the east side of the valley are five
poisonous springs; and nine miles
southwest OF Borax ranch, on the west
side of the valley, are two more pois-
onous springs. Men and beasts have
persisted from drinking of these wa
tiers. There are, however, many places
where good water can be found in the
valley, one being Surveyor Well, at
the north end, and at the Borax ranch.
In the heat of summer the thermom-
eter was up to 125 degrees in the
shade, and has touched 137. In the
winter half an inch of ice forms in the
valley.
The old fable that animals do not
live in the valley has exploded. Mr..
Clarence Nyman, who has travelled
over the Death Valley country pros
p%eeting and mining for t%wenty-nine
years, says coyotes, rabbits and com
mon desert animals and reptiles are
numerous.-Las Vegas Age.

SEEING FOR THEMSELVES.

The travel in the west this year has
been greater than aver before and the
results will be beneficial to the min
ing interests of the west for nearly all
of the travellers are interested in min
ing or van to become so and they
will have a chance to become better
acquainted with the men who make
mines and with the mines themselves
by reason of their visits to the west,
says Mining World. This means that
there will be more intelligent investing
and a better understanding of the es-
sentials of a good mine and of a wise
mining investment.

MINING 60.
Has Let a Contract for a Hundred
Stamp Mill.


Vice President Charles r. Miller ami
Frank A. Keith, general manager of
the Tonopah Mining company informed
a representative of the Miner yester-
day that the company had this week
let the contract for the 100-stamp mill
to the C. C. Moore company of San
Francisco, who also have the contract
for the electric power plant. The spec
iications for this plant provide for a
mill of 100 stamps, each weighing 1850
pounds, with regrinders and cyanide
plant. The ore after being crushed
will be passed through regrinders, agi-
tators and classifers and will then be
cyanided and the shines leached. The
plant will nave a daily capacity of
about $50 tons and will be operated by
electricity from the company's power
plant. Construction work will com
mence as soon as possible, but in view
of the magnitude of the undertaking,
it is not probable. that the mill will be
running before June, 1906.
Mr.. Keith stated that it would be
impossible to greatly increase the ship
ments from the mine until the new
smelter at Garfield Beach, near Salt
Lake City, is completed, in February,
the Mountain Copper company's smell
ter at Martinez, Cal, and the Nam
moth Copper company's plant in
Shasta county, California, the output
may be slightly increased.
The company has ordered four West
~inghouse electric hoists, one of $50 h..
p; two of 100 h. p. each, and one of IS
h. p, which will be delivered in about
ninety days and will be installed at the
Mizpah, Red Plume, Desert Queen and
Silver Top shafts.-Tonopah Miner.
