cYAn1p1Na PATENTS EXPIRE

1t is understood that the Macarthur
Forrest cyanide patents of the United
States will expire next December. At
tina date the only limitations on the use
of cyanide in the extraction of gold and
silver will be the various patents
granted to cover mechanical applica-
tions of the cyanide process, the num-
Der of which is legion. With the pass
ing of the original patents the cyanide
process in the United States will be
open to any user, subject only to the
rights of the patents above referred 70

the process.

GETTING THEIR REWARD

The recent developments in Nevada
have given a humble of old timers there
a chance to realize. In some of the dis
tricts hoary headed men who located
their claims 80 or 40 years ago are still
holding on to them, and, in cases where
their avarice does not override their
judgment, many of these men have been
able to cash in a sufficient amount of
money to support them in comfort and
luxury for the few remaining years Of
their life. However. instances are not
rare in which these old timers have
simply named an exorbitant price and
kept all operators off. to their own con-
tinued discomfort and, in some cases,
hardship. 1t is easy to understand how
a man who has lived with a proposition
in the desert for years can attach great
value to it, but, on the other hand, it
would seem that these men who have
waited and hoped in vain through many
moons would be glad of a chance to Sc
cure in cash sufficient money for their
declining years. even though they did
not realize their own estimate of the
value of the property. This is the hui
man problem to be handled in connec-
ton with many of the mining deals in
the now booming Nevada and the prob
lem is worked out in various ways, ac-
cording to the temper or temperament
of the buyer and the sellers

These many discoveries, whatever
NAV be their future individual pros
neritv. are important now in their bear
ing upon the mining situation in Nevada.
They have emphasized the fact that in
the desert, where formations are so OBJ
scured by a~lluvial wash and debris, only
the most obvious mineral areas have
been found; and that as the state be-
comes more settled, as prospectors have
more bases from which to work, such
finds as those at Manhattan n Trans
vaal may reasonably be looked for with
recurring frequency n over a tre-
mendous territory.
With this probability in mind, a study
Of the map of Nevada is instructive.
Wherever, throughout a northwest and
southeast belt four hundred miles long
by one hundred wide, transportation IA
cilities are such as to encourage explor-
alton, discoveries of pay ore in what
promise to be important metal produc-
ing areas have been of late so frequent,
that this portion of Nevad is evidently
to become the scene of intense and
closely connected industry.

The deep significance OF all this lies
in the fact that the whole country is
ready to support a mining boom of ma
tional proportions.
The people are very rapidly becoming
imbued with the idea that there is profit
in mining for the precious metals. The
west is supporting mining enterprise
generously, but in the east there is a
growing excitement with every indica-
ton from now on, and increasing for a
number of years, there will be available
a vast amount of capital for Nevada

many of no merit.

STRUCK 1T RICH
AT TRANSVAAL

The story of Transvaal is one of much
interest. yet IT is the old. old story of
how 1t pays to keep everlastingly at 1t;
the same old tale of striking IL rich"
whereby the p~ersevering prospector. un-
Haunted by ~aggravating and ~unfavor-
able conditions. finally stumbles onto
something that puts him on easy
street for life.
Ed s. Chafey and George Probasco
are the boys who have earned their re-
ward as many OF the pioneers who have
come before in these wild and isolated
deserts. They were Head broke less
than a year ago, but they kept going.
and as a result Of their work. they are
on the high road to wealth. with pros
poets as fiattering as Jim Butler ever
had; and today there is a new mining
district on the map; a new town build
ing. and the chances are good for the
making of many fortunes in the course
of a few months.
MI. Chafey arrived at Beatty in
March. 1905. from Goldheld. He walked
all the way, carrying his bed. grub and
canteen on his back. When he arrived
at Beatty. he had 1910 in his pocket,
and wishing to start even" with the
new country. he went out and spent the
ten dollars and ten cents. and was
broke. Then he laid dow in the sage
brush and slept the sleep of the care
free prospector, without a penny in his
purse. He did q few odd jobs, working
four and a half days for wages since
he came to Beatty. He got credit for
$40 at Brin & Blumlein's and went to
prospecting. and by making small sales,
etc, he managed to keep going. On
July %, he went into the unprospected
country northeast of Beatty, and made
three locations, two of which were the
Eastern Contact and True Fissure lodeS.
He camped on the river. and packed his
grub and water in every morning This
was during July and August, the hottest
time of the year. IF / don find gold
visit, I'll quit prospecting in por-
phyry." The subsequent partnership
with George Probasco. the man h
made the Transvaal strike. followed,
and the two prospectors kept pegging
away until things finally came their
way.
George Probasco came down from
Baker City on a prospecting tour
through Nevada, landing ut Beatty IN
December, 1904. He was the hard luck
~prospector pure and simple for some
MONTHS, and roamed over the hills with
little or no success until july CT last
year. when he came into what is now
the Transvaal district with Mr.. Chafey.
Liking the looks of the formation, the
geological conditions appealing 10 him
as heing favorable fos the opening of
mines, he decided to stay with the new
country. He assisted in making many
locations and did some work, all under
adverse conditions, being broke and a
long way from water. He and his part
ner could induce no one to offer any
financial aid until they met Tom G.
Murphy, of the Bullfrog Investment
company, early this year. Mr.. Murphy
and Terry Voorhees, took a shot at the

OPPORTUNITIES OF THE WEST

The extensive railroad building In the
west together with the irrigation enter
prises and new mining, are making a
scarcity of labor, on the one hand, and
an abundance of new money for local
trade, on the other. which will affect
directly the business conditions of the
whole west for the next two or three
years. says the Chicago Mining World.
Thousands of able men throughout the
west have been hampered in their activ-
ity for lack of reasonable capital. Their
actual worldly possessions were in most
cases undeveloped mines or unproductive
land, and in consequence the initiative
in many enterprises had to be taken by
eastern men, who had or represented
capital. The inflow of money which will
come from these vast undertakings, as
we'll as the actual wealth created from
the natural resources themselves, will
do much towards giving many districts
in the west the needed chance for self
initiative. The opportunities to create
wealth from the ~unbounded resources of
the west are so great that with the men
who know them best provided with the
instruments for their realization, the re-
suits will certainly be exceedingly large.
The impression is that the whole west is
just entering upon a period of unex-
ampled development and prosperity.
