FAMOUS MINE BONDED.
T. l.. Oddie and Others Get Old Para.

A mining deal of the utmost Importance
TO this county, involving as it does one
with a record of production surpassed by
very Few. has reached the stage when its
maj closing is a practical certainty, says
the Wfnnemucca Star.
The deal referred to is the bonding by
e ;. Chafey of Goldfield of the famous
Old Paradise mine at the old camp of
spring City, in the northern part of this
county; The bond was given by w. ]:
Ben OF this place, who has had control
OF the mine since it was closed down sew
erai years ago. The amount of the bond
has not been made public, but it is known
that the figure is high enough TO make
the deal rank as one of the largest that
mas been consummated in this county for
years. The transaction involves a hand
some first payment, the entire amount of
the bond to be paid within a year 1t is

In speaking of the transaction. Mr.
Chafey expressed the opinion that the
Paradise mine is one of the biggest in
the state. The bond was taken only after
a thorough Sampling of the dumps and
ore bodies whose extent is shown by the
old workings. On the dumps there are
thousands of tons Of ore which can be

moth scale by the company. represented
by Mr.. Chafey, though these plans have
not as yet been worked out in detail. A
mill of at least 100 stamps will be erected
at the mine. An electric power plant will
be installed to operate the mine and mill
and possibly a railroad which will be built
down through Paradise valley to Winnie
mucca.
These things will cost a pretty sum-
but the new owners of the property look
upon the enterprise as one which amply
justifies the expenditure that must be
made.
Of course if will take time tn do all
these things, but the initial move toward
carrying out the details of this mammoth
enterprise is to be made right away.

BIGGEST MINE

For Amount of Work Done.
This Is Engineer Burton's
Opinion of Cactus.
1T Is A MARVEL RIGHT NOW
SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
SURE TO COME.

L. G. Burton. the wel-knOwn mining en-
gineer and general manager of the Reve-
nue. Mining company's properties, about
eighteen miles westerly from Newhouse,
in Beaver county. has just returned from
the south. He went down for the double
purpose of making an inspection of the
Cactus property for clients of his and to
look after the shipment of a compressor
plant to the Revenue mines from New
house. Asked what he thought of the
Cactus property, Mr.. Burton Said:
have examined a good many big
mines in my time and / am pretty ia
miliar with most of the great properties
OF this state. The Cactus is the biggest
mine L ever saw for the amount cf work
done. L was all through the workings in
the new ore body from the 500 to the 600
foot levels and to describe them would
require the strongest terms applied by
mining enthusiasts l never saw anything
like it; it is simply marvellous. The ground
has been prOspected to considerable depth
below the 600 level with diamond drills
and result has been that the ground has
proved richer all the way down. On the
strike of the great ore body to the SOUTH
east every fOot's advancement has shown
Improvement and the conditions are such
that. in my humble judgment, the most
sensational disclosures are yet to be
made"
Mr. Barton is one of the best known
engineers in this region. lie is not easily
enthused; he is too old a Stager to fly

he sees it: he knows ore; he knows for
nations and probably no man in the state
is better qualified to pass judgment on "a
TITAN mine, at least. than he is. Mr.. Bur
ton confesses to being enthusiastic over
the Cactus mines development and show
ing, and when he states shat. big as the
mine is today, it has merely started upCH
it's career. he knows that his reputation
is at stake. For all that he makes the

For fifty-eight tons of ore from the f..

New, Colonel A. C. Ellis yesterday pulled
down a check from the smelling com

at the rate of S67.17 per ton. While this
is not by any means the richest shipment
made from the property, 1t is considered
a fine example of what the mine is capa-
BILE of, because every pound of it was
sent out from the mine just as it was
broken down and without sorting. The

Fall Festival.

! Cincinnati, o., July lS.-Tbe
Fall Festival Association of this
city IS one of the most novel organ
izations in the United States. 1t
is municipal affair in nature, its
officials being nonsalaried and
elected by the people, any of
whom can qualify as an elector, by
subscribing to share of the stock
or in other words contributing
to the support of the exposition.
1t is not designed as u money
making concern. 1t is merely to
call attention of the outside world
to the products of the Middle West
and Southeastern states. Exhib-
it's from these sections will fill two
huge exhibition halls that cover
several acres of ground. Other
sections, however, are recognizing
the Importance of the feat and are
asking for space in which displays
may be made. Wherever it is
deemed advisable, these exhibits
are accepted, and on Aug. 28, the
opening date of the fair, one of
the biggest exhibitions seen in this
section will be thrown open to the
public. Railroads will put on
ridiculously low rates.
The amusement features of the
festival will be enormous. A mu-
steal production of a spectacular
nature, entitled "The Blue Moon"
will be staged at Music Hall one
of the buildings of the fair. 1t
seats 1000 people and ia the finest
theater in the West. More than
$50 people will be seen on the stage
at one time during the action of
the piece, in addition 10 number
of elephants, camels, horses, etc.
This piece was brought over from
London where it has had a run of
two years solid. The production
alone will cost for the four weeks,
something like $4,000. A big
firm of New York has
been engaged TO stage the show.
On the grounds and in the halls
will be Government displays, big
vaudeville show, Hippodrome, !
circus and many other attractions. |
