ELEVEN MINES sACKING
ORE AT BULLION

Eleven different properties are now
classed among the producers in the
Bullion mining district. The Gold
Quartz is sacking ore for the second
shipment from that property. The first
shipment sent out a few weeks ago
netted the company s106.55 per ton.
The present shipment will run. accord
ing to careful sampling by S~uperintend-
ent Anderson, better thai $500 per ton,
all in gold.
The Utah, the property of Lakin and
Colburn. is sending out its second ship
ment to Salt Lake. which. it is expected.
will net better than 5000 in lead and
silver.
The Dutchman, owned by the Bullion
Venture company, a Colorado Springs
corporation, has several cars sacked
ready for shipment. which will be sent
out in a few days.
New and important strikes are re-
ported almost daily. The latest is on
the Moose. under lease and option to
Marvin Ish of Goldneld. Probably the
richest gold ore yet found in the dis
trict was recently discovered by Sewen
and Austin on the north slone of Bald
mountain to Corral canon. The ore is
alive with free gold. much of 1t laying
in slabs in the cleavages of the rock.
There seems to be a large body of IT.
but development is required to deter
mine it's extent.
Building is going ahead at a lively
rate in both Lander and Tenabo, the
two towns of the district. The popula-
ton 10 o several hundred. The
stages from Beowawe are loaded every
day, while many are coming in from
the south by private conveyance. Re-
cent developments have demonstrated
the richness and permanence of the ore
bodies and the Bullion district may be
regarded as one of the most promising
in the state. The mineral area is quite
extensive and there still remains good
territory open to exploration and loca-

THE GOLDEN scEPrRE
ESTATE IS LOOKING UP

The Bullfrog Golden Sceptre shaft is
in good ore. there being a two-foot
streak in the bottom that averages sec,
according to a sample taken Wednesday
by ]. C. Mccormack, president of the
The ore is tale, similar to
that of the Shoshone. An average of
three feet, taken by Superintendent Ed.
Murphy, ran $2S.
The streak is one of several that have
been cut by the shaft. which has reached
a depth of 27O feet. At the 300-foot
level, a crosscut will be started and con-
tinued indefinitely, the scheme being to
reach the several known lodges that
penetrate the heart of Bonanza noun
tain on Sceptre territory.
Lyttleton Price, Jr.. who is also here
this week, said of the enterprise: w
are figuring on the installation of a
compressor plant for air drills, and will
lose no time in exploring the ground
Ed Murphy has built one of the finest
shafts in the camp. I am proud of this
work., for it is lone in a systematic and
workmanlike manner. I expect any a

Samuel C. McMullin, another prom
inent stakeholder of the Sceptre. was
also here this week, and expressed him
self as well pleased with developments.
Messrs. Mccormack, Price and McMullin
paid visits to several mines of the camp.

rnozrra GOLD sAn LEDGE

There is certainly something doing
at the Bullfrog Gold Bar. Superintend-
ent Bedford has inaugurated an extern
sive scheme of development and explor-
alton. and while new ground is being
broken to demonstrate the extent of the
ore. the ore Is also being blocked out
ready to be measured up and mined.
Lateral work is in progress upon the
15O-foot, 250-foot and 350-foot levels.
On the $50 and $50, the footwall has
been located, n drifts are being run
northerly along the wall on either level
to connect with the Homestake work
ings. This is the first drifting on the
Gold Bar footwall. and the results are
highly satisfactory. as a good grade of
ore is shown in either drift. both of
which have been run about 40 feet. The
drifts run northerly in the middle of the
Gold Bar vein are out $50 feet from
each level. all in good ore. The plan
is to crosscut every as feet, connecting
the three drifts on each level, thus
blocking out the ore.
The width of the ore as determined by
the first crosscut north of the shaft is
so feet, and the vein has turned to the
north. demonstrating that the Gold Bar
ana HOmeStake are WORKING On the same
ledge, an opinion that has been held
from the first by interested parties. A
raise has been started from the 350-foot
level, at a point in the drift 100 feet
north of the shaft. to onnec with the
$50, and from the crosscut on the 500.
drifts were started this week either way
on the hanging wall, exposing a good
grade of ore.
The drift south on the 150-foot level
is being continued with no sign of the
end of the ore. The drift shows a con-
tinuous ore body for over 500 feet. and
has just passed through a rich shoot, 40
feet long, that averages 800 to the ton.
This is in the extreme south end of the
workings. Last year a crosscut was
run near the original shaft, exposing a
width of 100 feet of milling ore, and a
second crosscut has recently been start
ed to parallel the crosscut $50 feet
south, and this will be driven until the
opposite wall is reached.
Altogether, the Gold Bar estate is be-
ing pretty we'll probed with values
everywhere. Twenty-eight men are en-
ployed.

WORDS IN OKLAHOMA'S NAME
Belief That It Was Taken from Com- anche Tongue Refuted by Stu
 dent of Indian Lore.

Oklahoma City, Ok.-The Rev. J. s. Murrow, of Atoka, who is deep student of Indian lore and an au. thority on such matters, refutes the statement made recently by the In- dian Leader that Oklahoma" is a Comanche Indian word meaning land of the fair god"
 He asserts that it is Choetaw word and means simply red people, !" the Indian word ''okla," meaning people, and "homma" meaning red. In joining the two words one m is omitted. The name was given to Wright, chief executive of the Choc- Jaw Nation iE 1866, when the United States government negotiated with all of the Five Tribes to effect a treaty.
 At that time the present boundary of Oklahoma and Indian Territory was outlined, and it was proposed to erect a regular territorial form of government with a view of finally making it a state to be controlled by the Indians. But the Indians themselves did not consent to that part of the proposition.
 When the matter of a name for new territory was mentioned by the secretary of the interior to the as. sembled Indian governors, MT. Wright spoke instantly and said: Call it Oklahoma" What does that mean?" asked the secretary. Tt means red people," answered Governor Wright, and the matter was settled.
 Later Indian Territory was sepa- rated from the Oklahoma, and now the original boundaries are to be restored with the name as given by Governor Wright of the Choctaws. and the original state as contem- plated will soon take it's place in the sisterhood, though in this new state the Indians will not De the controll- ing element, as they might have been had they acted as the Govern. ment desired in 1866.
