.sEA Gun FoUND IN KANsAs
Huge Specimen Killed by Hunter a
Long Distance from Native
Element.

Topeka Kan--Frank Carpenter,
one Of Pittsburg's hunters. enjoys the
distinction Of bringing in the first sea
gull that has ever been killed an
this section of the country.
The bird measures FIVE feet from
tip to tip and is a large specimen OF
its kind Gulls are not common
species of the bird world. but occa-
sionally what IS know as the dry
water gull is seen in the country
along the streams. but a genuine sea
gull is an exceptionally rare bird
This one is supposed to have been
driven inland by the severe storms
that have been blowing over the
country for the last two or three
weeks. and after getting into this
section Of the world. far away from
salt water, became lost and was
simply flying around from place to
place in an effort to get its bearing.
When found by Mr. Carpenter il
was being fought by crowds. who
we're making all sorts Of noise over
their capture, and to get away from
them it took to the water, where its
tormentors left it.

INCREASES Will SELL.
Unrest in Russia Seems
to Be Daily Growing
in Strength

st. Petersburg, July Is. The po-
litical barometer is again falling.
The confusion whicn seems to have
taken possession Of the repressiyes
since the efforts to form coalition
ministry failed, coupled with alarm
ing reports from the interior and the
attitude Of parliament, make almost
anything possible. There has been a
marked renewal Of apprehension lest
the crisis may end in a coup d'etat
against parliament.
The assassination OF A d M ra !
Chouknin and the discovery of plot
to kill other government and mill
uary otf1cials adds to the existing
terror.
Dispatches from the interior con-
tinue TO tell of the burning of manor
houses, robberies, murders, collisions
between the peasants and the rural
guard, and the hurried dispatch Of
troops now to this seething center,
now to theOther.

Tomorrow is the last day Of the
Chautauqua. To say that every ses-
sion has been thoroughly enjoyed by
the crowds that have been in attend
ance each day is expressing it but
mildly. The program seems to grow
better as the end Of the ChautauQua
approaches.
Following yesterday mornings most
enjoyable and entirely unique, enter
tainment by Ralph Bingham, Sam
Jones lectured at 2:3O yesterday after
noon to one OF the largest crowds Of
the season His tongue is just as caus-
tic as ever, his language just as vigor-
GUS. According to the person you
meet, it was either the best lecture Of
the course or the worst. There Is no
halfway business about Sam Jones;
you either like him or you don't apd
If you don't you hate him--but 20 to
hear him, and If ou do you think
him the best lectureron the platform.
The lecture last night by Kokichi
Morimoto was exceedingly enjoyable.
It was description Of Japan, copious-
ly illustrated with the best Of stere'
opticon and moving pictures.
A feature Of both the afternoon and
evening programs yesterday was tht
whstling Of Miss Helen Vickery o.
Emporia, Kan. This was something
new in Vinita, but the audience EN-
ioyed it immensely. Miss Vickerl

SUCCESSIVE IN wALKER
INDIAN RESERVATION

Chas. NJ. Taylor, mining engineer for
the Silver Pick Leasing and Mining
company, left Goldheld two weeks ago,
for the Walker Lake Indian Reservation,
with a full prospecting outfit. He tele-
graphed his Goldfeld associates, today.
that he had been successful in locating
twenty good claims, enc town-site and
two water rights.
Mr.. Taylor has had many years exper-
fence. as a mining engineer in most of
the mining states of Alaska. Among
his Goldheld associates, he is considered
to be a man of very conservative judg-
ment and it is the opinion of his friends
tina the country around Walker lake
must be very promising, since Mr.. Fay
lor has located so many claims.
1t was the intention or the directors
of the Silver Pick Leasing and Mining
to nave Mr.. Taylor locate a
claim in the name of the company so 1t
could list it's stock, on the different
exchanges of the country.

THE VALUE OF A SHARE

pushed with all possible energy to sink
the shaft towards the ore level. and a
power hoist and other appliances were
purchased to facilitate the work and
bring the property to an ore producing
basis at an early date. AS a result of
these accomplishments the price of
these shares has dvanced to twenty
five cents per share.
Even the most conservative investor
must know that a share. which is
by so much work and all the
machinery for success, has an actual
value of at least twenty-five cents and
therefore he does not hesitate to buy.
But this value can correctly be called
temporary value because it can only
exist for a short time. The very nature
of this proposition makes 1t an under
taking of quick action. quick results
and quick profits and for these reasons
the value of this stock is liable at any
day through developments in the ground.
which may demonstrate themselves any
day. to advance to double and %quadruple
its present value, and this valuation will
be passed on merit, and merit lone.
This being the case the question with
the investor is not whether he should in
vest III III cto&hs b0t NhtNhth nv
should buy ii for 25c or pay more for
IL later on. He knows that mails are
slow and that his order may not reach
Goldfeld in time to secure for him the
shares he desires. TIC overcome this
difficulty he should telegraph and to
help him in the expedition of so import
ant a matter Mr.. l.. Willstaedt, who is
financing the company, offers to pay the
expense of these messages, so that or
ders can be placed with him without ex-
ira cost to the investor. Just telegraph
to l.. winstaedt. S22 Main street. Gold
field, Nevada to reserve o as many
shares as you wish 10 buy at twenty
five cents per share and let your remit
lance follow by next mail.
This is a strictly modern business en-
terprise and while you, perhaps, pay
more for a share of stock han you ever
paid before, yet you get infinitely more
for your money. because not even CUNT
ing the dividends which are sure TO
come, you are buying a stock which is
actually worth at least as much as you
pay for it, and will be worth several
times that much in the very near future.

RAMSEY WILL BE
A BIG CAMP

The camp OF Ramsey Is being slowly
developed and from present Indications
IL will turn out to be one of the Dig ones
of the state. Up TO date ore That VIII 90
to ship and mill has been proven up IN
no less than 10 places. These diseoV-
cries have been made on wide lodges and
enough work has been done on most OF
them to say that they were mines. ore
is being piled up for shipment and as
soon as some grading is done for a good
wagon road to the mines shipments will
be in order. The wagon haul to the
railway is a short one.
Probably the best showing in the
camp is on Ramsey Comstock where the
ledge of ore has been crosscut at a depth
of so feet. h dyke was found to be
81 feet wide and Is feet of it is ore that
assays from $3.50 to 5000 a ton in gold
and the balance without sorting Is good
for s12-which will pay handsomely
when treated at one OF the mills which
will be erected close to the mine either
by the company or by an independent
corporation. A gasoline hoist will be in
stalled at once and the work of opening
up what appears to be a bonanza mine
will be vigorously prosecuted.
The Ramsey Mining company which
adjoins the Comstock have an immense
showing on their ground also. A dyke
of sulphide ore and all pay has been
crosscut at a depth of 80 feet which is
40 feet in width. \ good-sized force of
miners are employed here. Some 3
miles southwest Captain Davis. one OF
the old-time miners of Virginia City. on
his group of claims is sacking ore that
assays as high as $500.
The Walk over group of 4 claims
owned by w. H. Clark, ]. p. LOTUS. j.
r. Davis and Charles Murdoch all of
Goldfeld have ore that will do to ship
light on the surface. In one place PAN
nings can be secured on a dyke which is
from Is to 20 feet wide for a distance
of 200 feet that would indicate a value
of at least 800 a ton. Shallow shafts
are being sunk and the ground is being
thoroughly prospected with tho idea of
selecting the right place to sink a big
working shaft.
Ramsey and Fletcher who own the
Starlight nave IL feet of SIS ore in a
crosscut driven at a depth of rs feet.
The values run both in gold as well as
in silver. The same parties are wcrl<ing
the Dago group ana ore can De 1ound
on a ledee 40 feet viii" that shows free
gold. An assay Office is being pat in by
them.
To the north of the Comstock Sam
Wheeler and associates OF Reno own a
group of claims and 3 sets Of lessees are
sacking ore on the ground.
Bennett and Codd are working a
group of IA claims 2 miles still further
north and are obtaining assdys en- lodges

is showing here 2 feet of 500 ore with

There are probably 400 people N the
district at the present time and the ex-
tent of the proven up belt Is about s by

DEWEY-coMRINATIoN
MINE LEASING COMPANY

The Dewey-Combinarion Mine Leasing
company has secured a lease on a block
of the Combination company's ground
for one year. Three shifts have been
put to work Strengthening and retimber-
ing an old shaft which is down 175 feet.
Scores of applications were rejected by
the Combination company for this block
of ground as it is almost certain that
high grade ore and plenty of it would
be found with a little greater depth and
probably in prosecuting or drifting in
the levels % The ground joins the
Ish and Sheets on the south and is only
500 feet west of the Hayes and Mon
nette on the Mohawk. The lease was
secured by Ex-Governor Hunt of dab
and his associates. The following Of
ficers have been selected by the COM
pany: President, w. c. Dewey, a mil

The so-callcd Tow priced" stock has
ceased to be a factor in the mining in
dustry. 1t is true he still makes his
appearance once In a while. but he does
not receive any more the recognition
which was formerly given to him in
such a large measure.
The mining stock of a reliable. stand
ard mining is looked upon to-
day as an article having a definite com
mercial value as an investment COM
modify. The investor of the present day
cannot be allured any more by stocks
offered to him for one or two cents per
share. He knows that it takes a large
amount of money to put a mining enter
prise on a paying basis and he knows
that the shares of that mining enter
prise represent the equivalent of the
capital required by that enterprise. Each
share of this stock has its pro rata value
OF the amount of the capital required
and used and the investor buys this
stock. whether it is csc or $1-if he
thinks that he gets value received. He
does not buy shares any more on the
theory that they only cost him one or
two cents and that he will not lose much
in case of failure because they did not
cost him much. but he buys on the BUSH
ness principle that he want to invest
his money where 1t can work to earn
other money for him.
This Common sense attitude of the
investor has made it possible for so
many mining enterprises of today to OBJ
tain the money they required within a
very short time and to bring their un-
dertakings to success. The old saying:
ut takes nom to max money," has
at last come to be applied to mining in
and a company in process of
developing its properties need no longer
fear to offer it's shares at a fair price,
because the investor will take them if
he thinks they are worth the money.
A case in point here are the shares of
the Nevada & Eastern Leasing company.
When this company commenced opera
tions on a tract which it had leased on
the we'll known Silver Pick ground in
Goldfeld. some of the shares were offer
ed and sold at ten cents. Then as de-
velopment work progressed the shares
advanced to 10 cents and found ready
buyers. In the meantime the work was

GREENWATER A
RICH DISTRICT

dozen or more Of Goidield's best
known and competent mine operators
have paid a visit to the Greenwater cop
per camp in the past week ana wlthou'
execution All agree that II is destined to
turn out TO be one of the greatest cop
per districts IN the world.
ID. Mackenzie returned on IhursdeV
after making a tour of the district ne
estimates il to be at least % miles by
= in extent. While there he looked AFTER
the work which is in progress on the
Red Boy and Saratoga and says that
ore could be shipped right now from
both Of them. While IN the camp ne
-urcbase what is kncwn as the C and
sroup of IL claims. The property is
situated in the heart Of the mineral
belt and Joins the acreage owned by
charles NJ. Schwab and associates.
Mr.. Mackenzie had this 20 say about
+he district: II was surprised at the
activity in all directions over l
believe 10 be one of the richest If not
the richest copper camp in the country
When / visited Greenwater a month or
so ago there were only a few men in
the camp. Now l believe that there are
no less than 400 miners at work in the
district and that number could be in
creased to LOCO If they could be Sc
cured. People are coming in at the rate
az at least so a day. The big drawback
at present of course is the scarcity of
water which is selling at the rate of IS
n barrel. Water at the present time has
10 be hauled into the town a distance of
is niles. Another supply has been de-
veioped only Z miles away but the guam
tity is limited. a water company has
been organized and a sufficient supply
to furnish a town the size of Goldfeld
win be brought into the OWL and
mines of the camp just as fast as
bitches can be dug and pipes laid. There
are now 9 gasoline hoists in operation
and Is others have been ordered. The
schwab people have made arrangements
to put in a big smelter. on their ground
a big working shafts are going down.
on the Red Boy the shaft is down 80
feet and the entire bottom is in ore that
ASSAYS from s TO IL per cent in copper
and from IS to $12 in gold. On the
Saratoga there are 2 shafts going down
on wide lodges and we are getting as
SAYS that run as high as $3S in gold and
so per cent copper"
Joseph Hutchinson, who is a genuine
mining expert, said: Il went to o
over the Greenwater country and enter
ed on my examination of 1t in a pessi-
mistic mood. / was there only a short
time before I was convinced that it was
the greatest surface showing l had
ever seen and 1t is my honest opinion
that in a few years there will be only
one Greenwater in the copper field as
there is only one Goldfield in the gold
camps. 1t is the general belief of those
who have given the camp a study that
the sulphides will not be entered until
a depth of at least 400 feet is reached .
