THE FAMOUS CRAIG DIAMONDS
ON EXHIBITION IN TONOPAH

New York, and when she met Silber-
berg, who up to that time had been
a special edition newspaper man, she
fell in love with him and they left
with the diamonds for Europe.
In Europe Silberberg passed as j.
decentralization, the new York
millionaire, and forged checks for
big sums. He also had a love es-
capade with a woman of nobility
and was imprisoned at Baden Baden.
To obtain his release, Mrs. Tuck
pawned her diamonds in London
and they went to Siam, where the
emperor dined them, Silberberg at
the time posing as a wealthy English
nobleman with a string of race
horses which he bought with checks
to which he forged the English
mans name.
From Siam, after securing a rail
road concession, the adventurer
worked" Japan and Manila and re-
turned to the United Etates. From
California he drifted into Ell Paso,
Texas, in a special car and opened
up as Craig, the Wonderful Palm
ist.' Women flocked to him and he
induced Mrs. Mray A. Mediation, a
wealthy woman, to go to London
with him and take the diamonds out
CT pawn, marrying her in st. Louis
on the return.
Once back, he took the jewels from
her and pawned them to Silberberg
Brothers. The government con
tended that as the diamonds were
not declared" when the couple re-
turned from England with them
they were smuggled and the dia'
monds were seized. ~Silberbere
Brothers fought the case in the fed.
eral courts for two years, finally
winning.
Now, the diamonds are in Tono
pah, the land of wealth. They are
in the safekeeping of Mr., Blakesle'
and are a part of his stock.

steadily shipping to the Selby works
many carloads each week, which
have run close to 500 per ton.
The water from the lower levels is
being arised by electrically driven
pumps, and the plan Of operation
provides for the installation of cleo
trio pumps of sufficient capacity to
raise all of the water from a depth
of 5000 feet. OF course, this vast
volume of water is not pumped to
the surface, but only to the level of
the Sutro tunnel, whence it is dis
charged into the Carson valley, four
or five miles distant.
Surrounding the old Comstoek
mines and along the general trend
of the vein are many new properties
which are now being successfully de-
veloped. Attention has been directed
to Ramsey and Jumbo, only a few
miles distant, and the White Horse
district, formerly known as Cling
house canyon, has received much at
tention.
The writer has often visited the
mines of this section of Nevada dur
ing the past few years, and has been

ABOUT MINING
Comstock's Great Development
lBy Frank Leonard Jr.l

NDy Iduh LCOudIu JI.J
The revival of interest in mining
in Nevada now extends throughout
the country and the remarkable pro-
duction from various new mining
camps has attracted the attention of
the mining world.
Tonopah, Goldfield, Bullfrog, Man
haitian, Fairview, White Horse, Ram
sey, Como and Jumbo districts, all
in the western part of the state, have
in turn sprung into activity and pro-
duced fortunes for those prepared to
take part in legitimate development
work.
While this activity has been in
progress, comparatively little has
been written or printed about the
old Comstock lode, and the great
grandeur of the old Comstock. AS
a matter of fact, during all of this
recent period of development the old
Comstock lode, without any blowing
bonanza camp at Virginia City, ex-
cept to compare the possibilities of
the new camps with the historical
of trumpets, has been keeping the
pace set by its younger and better adj
vertised rivals.
A visit to the Comstock will fully
repay any mining man who is inter
ested in the application of modern
machinery and the introduction OF
up-to-date business-like methods in
mining. This began actively in the
formation OF the Comstock Pumping
association and the establishment on
the Truckee river of a power plant
which has now been Increased to a
capacity of 10, 0O0-horsepower. This
electric power is transferred across
the mountain and delivered at Vir-
ginia City at a cost of approximately
> power, and Immediately definite
plans for sinking shafts and opening
the lower levels of the Comstocl
were under way.
The old Sutro tunnel, which II
nearly seven and one-half miles IL
length, became an important factor
in the drainage of the Comstock
and the repair and improvement o.
this property, has resulted in the ex
penditure of more than $150,000
The erection of several milling plants
upon the Comstock and especially /;
reduction works at the mouth of the
Sutro tunnel has demonstrated tina
the ores of the Co4nstock may nov
be treated at a cost that would have
been deemed impossible by the OLE
bonanza men.
The Buffers cyanide plant, one o
the largest Of its kind in existence
is in daily operation in Six-Mile can
Won, a short distance below the crop
pings; the ore being crushed ant
iumed down to this plant regularly
Four or five other cyanide plants
have been constructed and are being
steadily operated upon the old tail
ings and some of the waste dumps
are being most successful treated
The water from the lower levels has
now been drained about 600 feet be
low the old levels and large bodies
Of ore have been extracted. The
most notable extraction has been
from the Ophir mine which has been
