A ROYAL TIME.
Vivian Circle and Delta Camp Of
". 0. W. Install Officers and
Dev0ur Hot TamaIes.

Certainly a royal evening! Vivian
Circle and Delta Camp met in conjunc-
tion on Tuesday evening last at their
hall in the Odd Fellows block and in
stalled officers for the coming year. In
cidentally, after the ceremonies were
over, the crowd made rush for the
banquet room where the committees in
charge had prepared lunch OF hot ta-
males, coffee and sandwiches and no
greater proof of the appreciation of the
guests was the manner in which the
eatables disappeared from view.
Promptly at e:ght-thirty the retiring
consul commander, T. C. Welch, called
the room to order. Delta Camp pro-
ceeded to install first and and under ef-
ficient team work and imposing cere-
monies the officers for the new term
were instructed and admonished and es-
corted to their respective chairs. An
instrumental duet by Miss Cushman and
Mrs. Smith, song by Mrs. Gibbs and a
recitation by Mrs. Darling were atten-
lively listened to and enjoyed. The
Circle then took charge of the floor and
their team, in regular regalia, appeared.
Under the leadership of Warren Duling.
the work proceeded with precision and
exactness, showing careful drill and
thought. Mrs. Gibbs, as installing Of
ficer, filled her part remarkably well
and in an incredibly short time the new
officers were reposing at their stations
and the team was leaving the hall amid
sincere applause from all Neighbors
present.
Miss Cushman favored the crowd with
a piano solo and the new Guardian
Neighbor announced that the ceremon-
les were over and that it was time to
turn to more frivilous enjoyment. Gard
tables were soon over the floor and the
laughter and hum of conversation con-
vinced one that all were having good
time.
A short time after lunch was an
nounced and the grand rush for the
banquet room resulted.
Following is the list of officers in
stalled:

SILVER AND LEAD MINES
ARE in GREAT DEMAND

holding it's own, there is an e~ver-increas-
ing demand for silver and lead.
With the old-timer it is difficult to
Danish from his mind the fact that the
greatest fortunes in mining have been
made from silver-lead producers, and
he will tell you that mines of this char
acter are more lasting, more permanent
and prolific, than are propositions pro-
ductive of gold and copper, and he halls
with delight the announcement that
silver lead are coming into public favor
again; that the demand for lead exceeds
the supply, and that the government is
again in the market for silver bullion.
On every hand, at the present time,
inquiries are being made for big lead
producers; and prospects giving promise
of developing into mines whose output
will run heavy in this commodity, as
well as in the white metal, are being
looked for in every camp in the west.
At the present time conditions asso-
ciated with the mining industry are
more evenly balance than has been the
case for several years past. For years
the interest in gold mining has been
active and persistent; the same state
ment applies to operations in coppers
asserted themselves, there seems to be
no reason why. for several years to
come. almost every camp in this inter-
mountain region, whether productive of
any single metal or all of the four,
should not attain a prosperous and
fiourishing condition.

Sol Camp returned from Wonder last
Thursday and he talks enthusiastically
about the district and confidently pre-
diets that within one year from now it
will be another mining camp to help
make the state famous.
The Tonopah Mining company with
headquarters at Tonopah will become
the owner of Nevada Wonder group of
properties today. The ground has been
under option by the company for some
months past and considerable develop
ment work has been done under the di-
rection of the experts in the employ of
the purchasers and they report favor
ably and advise the purchase of the
group for $500. 900 and the papers will
be signed at Fallon today. The Nevada
Wonder was the original strike in the
camp and it certainly must rave been
a wonder. The dyke crops for a dis
lance of 1900 feet and one ore shoot
has been proven up for over 800 feet
by surface workings which is over 10
feet wide. A tunnel was driven Into
the hill and the ledge was crosscut. 1t
was found to be IL feet wide and all

without sorting. The great portion of
the values like all the Wonder ores be-

1t is most interesting to note how the
constantly changing conditions of the
financial and Industrial world affect the
different phases of the mining industry;
how influences, intricate and interviewer,
will make copper the all-important
metal for a certain period, to the detri-
ment of the silver-lead industry, over
shadowing, even. the Importance of gold
production. But, the conditions of the
copper market fulfilled. attention is
turned to some other metal and. for GER
tain periods, it is possible that an al
most equal interest is taken in the
production of the -four leading metals
until the pendulum of demand and sup
ply again swings the market from one
extreme to the other, says the Salt Lake
Mining Review.
Gold, of course, is staple. Still, there
are periods when interest and attention
is devoted entirely to gold production.
This was the case a few years ago, and
investors and capitalists would then
hardly entertain a mining proposition
unless it hinged upon a possible and
probable output of the yellow metal.
During this period the mining for cop
per, for silver and lead, was almost at
a s~tandstill, and but little was doing in
this branch of the industry. Later on,
the increased use of copper and it's
scarcity, impaired a wonderful impetus
in the demand for copper-bearing prop
critics. and now, while copper is steadily

THE CLAIM HOG


If there is any one thing that retards
the rapid progress of a mining country
more thar another it is the claim hog.
Very much like the car-seat hog on
trains the claim hog in the mining dis
tricts wants all the room he can get,
and he has a way of getting about all
there is out of doors long before the
others nave a chance.
AS constituted at present the mioinS
laws of the state of Nevada permit a
man stalking off and filing on as MANY
claims as he desires, the only require
ment being that he do a small amount of
labor on zach claim within ninety lays
from the time he builds his monuments.
This is the weak place in the armor OF
the law. Whenever a strike is made in
a district or a new piece of mineralized
section is discovered there is a mad rush
certain element of mankind gets in its
work. The claim hog gets busy and
much to the detriment of all others who
have or would nave an interest in min
ing. These claim hogs usually have
money at quick call. They grubstake
dozens of men who are broke or who
them helter-skelter with orders to stake
every claim possible. AS a claim is
twenty acres in extent it requires very
little time for a dozen or so men to tie
up an entire mining section, and there
fore it will be readily seen that the
worthy individual p~rospector who comes
along a few lays late really has no
chance at all to get the coveted terri
tory. The claim hog knows that he can
not do the work on a vast number of
claims in the statutory time. so at the
end of the term of the location notice
he relocates the territory in the names
of others, and in this way has a never
hold on the ground, and usually
holds it until he can trade, sell or or
ganize fictitious mining companies
There seems to be no doubt that the
should be so amended that the
number of claims should be limited to
FIVE. This is one hundred acres and is
for all legitimate purposes. If
the number of claims were limited the
mining section would be controlled by
thousands instead of by dozens, and 1T
would be certain that the claims would
be prospected at once and in earnest.
1t would mean untold prosperity, for
the business men of the various camps,
and would help everybody in the world
except the claim hog.-Wonder Mining
News.

That the old camp Of Silver Peak %

those who are at all acquainted with
the situation. Many of the live mining
men of Goldheld are getting in on prop

to Goldheld investors are being made
right along.
Among the many recent deals is that
of the transfer of the Hamburg group
of IA claims situated abou two and
one-half miles north of the famous

sisted of only 4 lodes but the splendid

consideration paid for the property was

A thorough examination of the ground
was made by the purchasers before the
ground was taken over and hundreds of
paintings and assays were made on the
wide lodges of free milling quartz which
in appearance resembles the Mother
Lode rock of California. At least 100
assays were made on the ore and the
average showed the remarkable value of

known mining engineer made an in
spection of the property and took SAM
pies of the ore from IL of the location

obtained was SIG. He was very favor-
ably impressed with the proposition and

GRANITE REEF.

s. O. Stewart, representing the Sin ger Sewing Machine company was a Granite Reef visitor yesterday. Engi- neer Hedrick who suffered a sprain fir the back while lifting at the heavy machinery a few days ago. is able to be up and around. The sudden rise in the river took out the foot bridge but the timbers had previously been wired together and the loss will be very slight The electric light post on the north side of the river was wash ed out, allowing the wire to go down. but as 1t was not loaded" no serious results followed. The electricity will not be turned on much before the first of the year. On account of the high water the men were laid off Monday. but they resumed work again Thurs day. The Arizona canal. which par allels the river. broke through east of this place. and the water ran back into the main channel again. It will take a considerable amount of work before the damage is repaired. The excava- ton which was made at this place was not affected in the least, by the high water. IL will probably take a fifteen foot rise to reach the work.
