GOOD REPORTS FROM
SURROUNDING MINES
Sacramento and Spring Valley
Continue Center of Activity.
r. A. Preston has Fine Prospect
Near the Summitt--5-Fo0t Ledge
on Lone Mountain Claims in Sac
rament0.

The Steady "clink! clinkp' of the
mines drill in the hills east of town
continues to demonstrate the wealth
of mineral which lies hidden there,
and which will surely reward the
men who have faith and use the
money necessary to go to reasonable
depth to prove .heir prospects. The
AGrass Root" paying prospects in any
camp are few and far between, and
nearly every prospector and miner
that comes into what is known as the
Spring Valley district declares the
surface showing to be equal to that
of the now famous southern camps.
During this week Mersrs. Morse,
Hagan and Dyke have been in from
their different prospects in Spring
Valley. Mr.. Morse says the Bonanza
King mill is grinding out the ore
very satisfactorily. They are replac-
ing the tramway with a track, the
loaded cars going to the mill from
the mines to pull the empties back.
The physical condition of the mine
was never better and the manage
ment is very much encouraged with
the outlook.
Geo. W. Dyke reports recent ad-
vices from his company in the east
that they are determined to put in
dredgers end test the value of their
placer ground.
Mr.. Hagan who was one of the
holderslof the big strike on the sum
nit made this summer reports that
eastern capital is becoming interest
ed in ther properties and will do ex-
tensive development work in the
spring.
The cross cutting is going on at
the Spring Valley and in their Monu-
mental mine and the vein is showing
good values. Henry Ryker sent in
some fine samples from the cross cut
this week.
Saubrey & Lee and Lew Dunn are
both 0nding rich ore on their claims
on the summit between Indian creek
and Spring Valley and are going

iown to test the permanency of ore

down to test the permanency of ore
bodies.
One of the most excited mine own
ers in town this week is F. A. Pres
ton who has received assays running
into the hundreds from his claim
above the Federal Mines. He went
out Tuesday morning to get a load
of the ore for shipment to the mills
to make sample run.

WENT UNDER THE WHEELS.
U. S. Mail Pouch ls Found on Rail-
road Crossing Cut to Pieces.

Wednesday morning night opera
tor Newcombe found the mutilated
remains Of U. s. mail pouch along
the track at the crossing by the de-
pot. 1t was literally torn to pieces,
looking as If it and contents had been
used as the residence of a mountain
rat. Most of the contents was still
entact, but some of the contents was
gor1nd to pieces.
1t was found right after the Over
land Limited went west, and is sup
posed to have been locked transfer
pouch" from that. 1t had caught in
the guard rail at the crossing and
Agent Onyon declares the Pullmans
jumped a foot off the rails when GO
ing over it. Apparently it was a
light mail; had it contained govern
ment documents 1t would have ditch
ed the train sure. None of the mail
was directed to Lovelocks. The re-
mains were gathered up, taken to
the postofiice, and what could not be
forwacded to its proper destination is
being held subject to orders. We
suggest that the remains should go
to the dead letter Office, for they're
surely dead.

County Officers in Trouble.

The office of district Attorney of
Esmeralda county has been declared
vacant, and three indictments have
been brought by the grand jury
against Justice of Peace Bell and
Constable Russell of Gold6eld. There
was a conspiracy between District
Attorney Davidson and the Justice
and Constable to levy tribute upon
the fallen woman of Goldfeld, and
the trio secured many thousands of
dollars in this way, They will most
likely spend some time in Jail now.

BIDS WANTED ON LOVE.
LOCK WATER WORKS
Bids to Be Opened and Contract
Let Monday, November 9Th.
Work Must Be Completed within Six
ty Days after Contract Is Let
---0utline Of System.

The prospects of actual construc-
tion on the Lovelock water system.
for fire protection, to begin early next
month are very fattering. The bonds
have been sold, the plans and specif-
cations adopted and herein appears
the proposals for bids on the construc-
tion of the system. These bids are
to be opened at the regular meeting
of the County Commissioners held on
Monday, November 9Th. As soon af-
ter that day as possible the contract
will be let and the work pushed to
completion, the contract will call for
the completion of the work by sixty
days from the date on which it is let.
1t is the purpose of the Commits
sioners to get this finished as soon as
possible, for they realize that cold
weather is fast approaching, when it
will be bad weather for cement and
ground digging work; further, they
realize the fact that Lovelock citizens
are already paying interest on the
money for this work and are, there
fore, entitled to receive the benefits
as soon as possible. They propose to
have things done right, however, and
everything constructed in a substan-
tial and permanent manner. Here is
an outline of the system:
There will be 6inch main pipe
on each side of Railroad street, down
to the lower crossing, also a 6-incb
main pipe up the street from the de-
pot to the school house. The speci-
fications call for 2,055 feet of 6.inch
pipe; 5000 of 4-inch pipe; $50 feet
of 3-inch pipe; all this to be steel riv-
eted, with fange joints, and dipped in
&c. L." preserving liquid. This is to
supply thirteen double-connection,
non-freezing hydrants. These hy-
drants are to be set on rock base,
with ample provision for drainage.
This system is to be supplied by
pumping plant and well, situated at
the foot of Fourth street, near the
old channel known as the "Lovelock
Slough" This well to be eight feet
in diameter at top, ten feet at bottom
and 26 feet deep. The water will be
pumped into tank 20 feet in diam
eter and IA feet high, holding thirty
thousand gallons, with a centrifugal
pump. having u capacity of throwing
500 gallons per minute against head
of 25O feet. This to be operated by
a 35-horse power gas engine. 1t will
be arranged so that the pump will
force the water directly into the
mains when desired, thus giving the
system ample force for fighting fire.
The tank frame will be built of ~

IN SACRAMENTO CANYON.

Work at the Lone Mountain claims
in Sacramento canyon is going right
ahead under the management of Geo.
R. Sims. During the past week he
has cross cut a five foot ledge of
very fine ore on claim above the
one on which they are sinking the
shaft. 1t shows good values in gold
silver and copper and is we'll defined
The shaft on the Alice claim is now
down forty feet and is getting more
mineralized every foot. Mr.. McKen-
ney is developing a strong ledge on
claim just above Sims camp in
which Messrs Uniacke and Mcintosh
are interested. At eleven feet in
depth the ledge is three and half
feet wide. Samples have been sent
for assay and if returns show values
shaft will be sunk to fifty feet. 1t is
good looking rock.
Mr.. Peterman is doing development
work on the Old Vermont claim for
Mayer, Culver, Lochhead and Hunter,
and is cutting into some very strong
mineralized decomposed quartz.
So the work goes on and every foot
of sinking or drifting is developing
something better every day.

President Already Considering
New Men for Chiefs of all
Departments
TO BE REORGANIZED

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The first
practical step having in view the reor-
ganization of the Panama canal com
mission was taken when, in compll-
ance with instructions from President
Roosevelt, Secretary Taft requested
the members of the commission TO ten
der their designations. This request
was promptly complied with 10y those
members Of the commission now in

requesting the designations of the COM
missl0ners was sent 10 Major General
George w. Davis, retired, of the army,
the governor Of the canal zone and also
one of the members of the commission.
AS indicated IN the letter of Secretary
Taft. the designations are requested in
srder that the president may have
free hand in recognizing the commits
sion.
That the president contemplated the
reorganization Of the commission has
been known for some time, and he has
been In frequent consultation with Sec
rotary Taft as to his future policy in
choosing its personnel aud directing its
work. 1t was believed originally that
better results might be accomplished
by the appointment Of smaller com
mission than that now existing but a
recent opinion of Attorney General
Moody held that under the law the
president was required to name seven
members in all The Appointments
probably will be announced by the
president during the progress OF his
southern trip.
The members Of the present commits
sion in addition 10 General Davis are
Rear Admiral John q. Walker of the
navy, retired, chairman; William Bar
clay Parsons, william II. Burr, Benja-
min NJ. Harrod and c. Ewald Grunsky
Chief Engineer John +. Wallace left
Panama last night for New York. 1t is
reported that his departure means that
the management Of canal affairs is 10
be actively pushed.

STATES PRISON AFFAIRS.
Gov Bell Denies Some Stories About MIS-
ROGERS Condition.

Burlington, Mar 29:-Gov & J Bell
was in this city vest erday. In reply
to a question concerning the investi-
cation of state institutions he said
that the committee would probably not
do any thing for several weeks, owing
to the fac. that Attorney-General G. c.
Fits OF Brattleboro was engaged upon
court cases on behalf Of the state.
There are several murder cases where
he has TO assist the States attorneys
and thesewill occupy his entire time
for several weeks.
With reference to Mrs Rogers and
the stories being printed in various
papers as TO her delicate condition,
Governor Bell said; ~ have receiv. d
word direct from the matron at the
States prison and those stories are
not true" Governor Bell had no idea
where UGH rumors started, but said
that he began to hear them shortly af-
ter the reprieve was granted, some
going so far as to say that the reprieve
was granted because of her condition.
Governor Bell says that he stills re
ceives communications regarding Mrs
Rogers, but that they are OF very little
interest.
