NEyADA's COPPER FIELDS.
Predicts This State viii Soon Be
Copper Queen.

copper queen.
"Billions in Copper" is Fitz-Mac's
title to his write.up of Ely, White Pine
County. expressly prepared for the
Pueblo. COL, Chieftain of Nov. 10. The
noted mining writer begins his article
thus:
"The scepter is returning to Nevada
don't forget that"
He says that the copper deposit at
Ely is the most extensive in the world
so far as known. 1.-THE grade is low
but the values are workable aud the
quantity is limitless, and it is quantity
that draws capital when there is q
reasonable margin of profit, because
quantity assures the permanency of the
investment. 60 . For more than a
generation Michigan wore the crown of
copper queen among the States of this
Nation. Next it passed to Montana
and just at present it rests upon the
brow of Arizona. But within ten
years-possibly within five-it will be
Nevada's. 1t is not a question Of the
supply of ore for that is beyond ques-
tiou." n
Fitz- Mac says there are not smelters
enough at present in the world to
handle Ely's output of ore if it were
rich enough to stand the present cost of
transportation and smelting-which it
isn't. The highest claim they
make here is 80 per cent copper
content with IS the ton in gold and
silver. One.half of 311aa per cent is
close to the average of the copper ores
Of Michigan and Montana and hat is
probably not far from the average at
Ely. <<s Just reflect that down to a
depth Of only no feet this deposit, call.
ing it 7 miles long by l mile wide and
allowing Is cubic feet Of ore t a ton,
contains ten billion tons of ore aud its
total value would stagger human
imagination.
The New Copper Field Described
"This deposit lies in the Egan range,
White Pine County. and breaks to the
surface through O massive limestone of
the lower C~arboniferous series. 1t isn't
a fat vein, nor a contact vein. Its
genesis appears to be a great, coarse
grained. porphyritic, trachyte dixie fol-
lowed by a succession of parallel dikes
of a similar character to the extent of
something like a mile in width. The
whole width of this vast series of bikes
appears to have been impreguated with
the mineral values in the usual way, by
solution, aud replacement volcanic,
mineralized water appears to have done
the business. The course of this dixie is
east and west aud it lies in a sort Of low
canyon cutting into the range from
Steptoe Valley. The copper develop
ment begins about 8 miles west of Ely
and has been pretty thoroughly explored
to Pilot Kneb ON the crest of the range
10 or II miles west of Ely"
The altitude of Ely is $500 feet and
that Of Pilot Knob about 5000. Ely now
has a population of about 500 aud en-
joys a valuable ranch trade. White
Pine has many large of
natural wealth besides this s~tupendous
copper deposit at Ely. The population
of the county to-day does not much ex-
coed 5000. But nearly 40 years ago the
widest mining rush that ever took
place in the West poured a transitory
population of over 20, 900 into old White
Pine County, and it has a future coming
to its long-abandoned districts soon,
now with the advent of railroads.

sTOCKMEN GET OFF EASY.
Nebraskans Plead Guilty to Fencing
Public Domain.

An Omaha, Neb., dispatch of Nov. ii
says: Bartlett Richards and James G..
Comstock appeared before Judge
Munger in the Federal Court to-day
and pleaded guilty to having illegally
fenced $4,000 acres Of Government
land in Sheridan aud Cherry Counties.
Nebraska. They were fined $500 each
aud assessed the costs Of the case,
amounting to about $500. They were
also sentenced to remain in the custody
of the United States Marshal for six
hours. This latter part of the sentence
was merely q formality to meet the re-
quirements OF the law, aud both men
were permitted to go to their hotel
without escort.
The Comstock aud Richards ranches
were the largest in the country, and the
case has been before the court for two
years. The defendants filed affidavits
and other evidence several months ago
signifying their intention to fight the
case. This decision, however, was
changed.
Removing the Fences.
Counsel for Richards and Comstock
stated that the defendants had been &C.
cupied for nearly two months with
three large crews Of men in removing
the fences, and the District Attorney
stated that he had reason to believe
they were acting in good faith.

Reflections Of A Bachelor.

The joyous seasons OF lie are
mighty short.
There is no use knowing so much
that nobody can appreciate i.
You can always be popular with
women by making them believe
you think they are with men.
The best way to teach your wife
not to take your change out OF your
pockets is never to have any.
A man has an idea his collar but
ION would never get lost under the
bureau if he did not have wife and
five children.
Getting rich. is not what it is ad-
ve7tised to be in the prospectuses.
The more poetry there is in the
courtship the more prose there is
in the married lie.
The way to make girl think she
is pretty is 10 tell her all the orAer
ones are not.

COTTON BEGINS TO
 MOVE IN CULLMAN
MAYOR BEYER MAY BECOME A CANDIDATE FOR U. s. MARSHAL. OTHER NEWS OF cuLLMAN AND VICINITY.

Cullman, September S.-(Special.) )-Cot- ton has begun to roll and the business circles will, no doubt, lay aside that tired feeling for a time at lest. The first bale made it's appearance in this city yester- day afternoon, and was purchased by C. A. Strifelmeyer at 111z cents. The bale weighed 510 pounds and was raised by T. H. Wood living ten miles west of here. Another bale came in this morning and was bought by the J. H. Karter com pany for 111k cents. It Is not expected that the crop will reach the first esti- mates but will fall short about one-third. The continued rains just when the sta pie was maturing and the ''rust'' which made it's appearance early In the season have detracted from It's yield very ma terially. thougli the farmers generally are in fairly good condition, most of them being out of debt, therefore what is made belongs to them and the merchants are looking forward to a good fall trade.
 The sweet potato crop has come in for its share of praise this season. The yield has exceeded by far any previous year, attributable mainly to the increased acreage. Thus far something over six thousand barrels have been shipped from this point, while HanceSille, Vinemont and Holmes Gap. this county have as- sisted in swelling the above to about S50O. About three-fourths of tho number ship ped from this point and many of those from the other places named were han dled by Birmingham commission mer- chants and brought on an average of 1. 70 per barrel.
 Thus far there are nine aspirants for the sheriffs office of this county, notwith- standing the fact that the election Is more than year off. Just why there Is such a clamor for the office is difficult for one to understand, unless 1t be that the criminal record of the county is lighter than any one in the state. The salary cannot be the attraction.
 The citizens telephone injunction cases which have occupied considerable time of the chancery court the past month have been dissolved by Chancellor Smp- son and the amount of damages sustained by the land owners referred to the regis ter in chancery, who has been hearing the evidence of both sides all this week. No decision has been reached as yet. but the telephone company will continue building their lines, after giving bond for cost in each of the ten cases pending.
