GOLD BAR

Superintendent L. b. Bedford, who Is
so successfully developing the Gold
Bar, has decided to sink a permanent
working shaft near the center Of the
proven mineralized zone, and has
started work on same by charging the
40-foot incline, northeast of the 150-
foot shaft. Three sets of timbers have
been put in and work is rapidly pro-
crossing. The new shaft is 4x7 in the
clear, two compartments. The big 2s-
horse Hercules hoist, which will arrive
soon, will be installed at this shaft, AMI
a depth of $50 feet on the incline will
be secured with all possible speed. The
gallows frame will be so feet, and the
Gold Bar equipment will be the most
extensive upon any shaft in the Bull
frog district. Some of the miners have
been taken from underground and put
to work grading a road over which to
haul the hoist to its position, but in
both drifts and the crosscut, at the
150-foot level, one shift is being en-
ployed. In the past two weeks, 20 feet
of work has been done in the three
breasts, the north drift being 16S feet,
the south drift 1914 feet, and the cross
cut 12S feet, and there is no end to the
ore in any direction. This is blocking
out ore at a rapid rate, considering the
small number of men EMPLOYED. Within
the past week two feet of excellent ore,
much better than anything so far en-
countered in the north drift, has been
opened, adding a good asset and adj
vancing in an appreciable degree the
average value of the ore in that portion
of the mine. This drift will be con
tinued until it reaches a point under
the permanent shaft.

AMETHYST DEAL

Malcolm Macdonald and associates
have purchased the c. II. Elliott inter
est in the Amethyst, located nex to the
Montgomery Shoshone on the north.
The deal involves more than a quarter
interest in the Amethyst capital stock,
and the consideration is said to be in
the neighborhood of $4,000. Messrs.
Cushman, Bevis and Turpen retain
their holdings. The Amethyst ground
consists of three claims on which about
$1,000 has been spent in development
work. 1t is believed here hat the pus-
chase of the Elliott interest was
brought about by the recent develop
ment of the ore body in the S~hoshone,
pointing to the continuation of the ore
into Amethyst ground. The deal has,
at any rate, created a demand for the
stock by Frisco brokers.

ALICE

William Maher and John Honfeld are
sinking a shaft on the Alice claim, the
first workings east of the Gold Bar,
The shaft is down 40 feet in the WASH,
but considerable quartz is scattered
through the wash and from the quartz
small paintings are obtained. The boys
are inclined to think hat there is a
ledge in the immediate vicinity of the
shaft. The Alice is one of a group OF
five contiguous claims, owned by
Messrs. Maher and Honfeld, and
Sheriff Bradley and Frank Nichols, of
Goldfeld. These gentlemen own four
other claims in that neighborhood. The
shaft ON the Alice will be continued to
60 feet for the present.

RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION

Congress begins its session next Mon.
day. For a long time there has not
been n session which the people of the
country have waited for so eagerly as
this one which will be called together
day after tomorrow. Towering above
everything else in Importance is the
question of railroad legislation. On
this question probably one of the most
spectacular battles ever waged in on
gress will be fought out. 1t will be i
contest of the people against allied
wealth. Leading the fight of the pep
Pile will be the president himself, vino
has dedicated himself to the cause Of
seeing helpful legislation effected
whereby the railroad interests of the
country will be made more amenable
to the law. Opposing him will be those
senators and representatives who are
the spokesman of corporate interests,
inasmuch as it is to those interests
that they owe their positions.
There is much other legislation of
Importance to come up but this is the
thing in which the whole country is
most interested. 1t has a local interest
for Reno, because this is one of the
places which is laboring under opprcs-
sive rates, which may be relieved If
the president and his followers are sue
cessful in their fight. 1t concerns all
of Nevada, and every other state in
the union.-Reno Gazette.

lone Of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded IN Louisa County is
that Of Mrs Minnie Hart Of this place.
Mrs. Fart was in bed for eight
months and when she was able to sit
up she was all drawn up on one side
and could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak
ing of her cure. Mrs. Hart says.
Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after was in bed for eight months
and l know the cure was complete for
that was three years ago and | have
not been down since. In four weeks
from the time started taking them
was able to make my garden. No
body can know how thankful am to
be cured or how much l feel owe

much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
