OLD PATTERSON
AGAIN TO THE FRONT
Once A Producer of FabulOusly
high grade Ore it is now after
sleep of 30 years the
scene of activity.

now its issolation from the com,
mercial world is soon to be re-
lieved, the public may expect
sensational strikes there in the
near future.
The Mollie Gibson and Hidden
Treasurer group consisting of
four claims was bonded this
week for $25, 900 to a Mr.. Craw-
ford of New York who is to be-
gin active operation at once. The
property in question belongs to
Messrs R. W. Dewitt, VIM. Lum-
cry, VIM Mobiles and Hans Olson
who recently acquired it by
location. 1t is claimed that one
of the lodges is 25 feet wide and
averages $26. per ton in all
metals, while from the surface
groupings assays running from
300 to 1000 ounces are easily OBJ
tanned from surface groupings
in several places.
Harry Lowdon owns the Silver
Star group, is developing it and
has some excellent ore.
Jim Lanter has recently struck
north and east of Patterson gold
ore assaying $108. to the ton.
A. D. Campbell is also devel-
oping three feet of ore reported
to run from $87 to $4,000 to the
ton.
Bob Bronson is working prop

in camp.
r. w. Dewitt owns three
claims adjoining the Mollie Glib
son and Hidden Treasure on
the east and has five feet of ore
running high in values.
Mike Monfeld and Andy
O'Hara have recently located
property in the district on which
they have already struck fine ore.
Mr.. Dewitt who leaves today
says that there are many others
in the district obtaining property
and that the activity is lively.

The mountains are alive with
prospectors and they are coming
all the time," was the remark OF
q prominent mining man who
has recently become interested
in the Patterson district to the
writer this week.
The Patterson district is stu
ated about sixty miles northwest
from Pioche and is a continuation
of the great mineral belt traYers-
ing this section with the excep-
ton of an occasional break in the
mountain ranges along fault lines
The geology or formation is iden-
tical with this being silruian
limestone underlaid by cambrian
quartzsite, the eraosion of lime
occurring in many places. The
district is intersperred with many
intrusive dikes and assuring oc-
ours at right angles also.
The lodges as rule are very
strong and the values SO far as
developed are indeed remarkable,
from 300 to 1000 ounces of silver
to the ton being obtained from
surface groupings throughout a
large era.
Patterson was discovered in
the early sixties and reduction
works was at one time operated
there, but the camp was aband-
oned, the prospectors and miners
leaving in the great rush which
followed the discovery of Phoebe.
It's remoteness from railroad
transportation has kept it in the
back ground Inc. until the
building of the railroad into Ely
began and the announcement of
the branch line of the San Pedro
into Pioche was made, when
prospectors and mining men from
every section Of the west begun
fiocking there and it is repre-
sented to be alive with men,
claims are being staked and de-
veloped and mining deals began
in earnest. The merits of old
Patterson has been known to
many for number of years, and

EXCEEDING THE RIGHTS OF
THEIR OFFICE.

The road Inspector of Deer
Lodge, Spring Valley and
Caliente Road Districts have had
work performed on the roads in
paid Districts when there was
no money in said fund to meet
the expence of said work, and
while the amounts over reached in
the Spring Valley and Deerlodge
Districts are small that of
Caliente amounts to over $500. 90
No Road Inspector has any right
to have any work done or order
ell done unless there is money
sufficient in the fund to meet the
cost of the same; and when he
does exceed his official authority
some has to suffer in that they
will have to wait an indefinite
time for their money. AS the
money for the Road Districts,
come from one half of all poll
taxes collected in the respective
districts, and for the balance of
the year but few poll taxes will

more before the Caliente Road
Fund can be liquidated as it will
take at least the collection Of
about 600 poll taxes. No trans
fers from the General Fund or
any other fund for the payment
of indeptedness incurred in any
Road District can be
made legally by the Board
of Commissioners unless
the work which created said in
debtedness was specially ordered
by the Board of Commissioners
at a regular meeting and so en-
bodied in their minutes. A nice
state of affairs we would be in il
every Road inspector took il
upon himself to place the county
in debt for work performed in
their several road districts.

they then killed and robbed the

the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflam ed you have arum b.

and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube be restored TO it's
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out

Even more ludicrous was the con-

The Fiddle Drill,

The fiddle drip is one Of the oldest
stonecutting tools in existence. It is
said to antedate Greek sculpture and
is in use today in about the same form
as 1t was 1000 years ago. AS it's name
implies, its action resembles a fiddle
The drill is Of two pieces. In one hand
carver holds the drill stock, which is
like carpenters brace, except that it
is straight instead Of having a crank.
In the other hand he holds the 'bow,"
which is strung with brass wire and
which Is given turn around the drill!
stock. To use the drill the carver
places the drill stock against his breast
holding it with his left hand, and With
his right he draws the bow back and
forth, fiddle fashion. This imparts
rotary motion to the drill stock, and
the drill is ground to cut in either way
it turns. The fiddle drill is used in the
finest work, in crevices where the
sculptor could not reach with his chisel
and hammer without endangering the
carving -.. ."-.

when the state Fixed Hotel Prices.

When the State Fixed Hotel Prices.
Before. during and for a time after
the Revolutionary war the courts OF
the commonwealth used to fix the
prices of tavern board and liquor, so
when the sojourning stranger from
afar struck Richmond he could pretty
nearly know what horse feed and
breakfast cost. There was also an
assize of bread as we'll as Of drink.
The price of bread was regulated by
the price of wheat. A fourpenny white
loaf, twopenny white loaf, four
penny brick loaf and a fourpenny
brown loaf had each to weigh so much,
according as they had other 1ngredi-
ents mixed with -four. In those days
Boston biscuit" costing cent had
to weigh six ounces and two drains
and SO on The connection between
loaf of bread and sixty pounds of
wheat at so much per bushel has
grown beyond the grasp of the modern
mind. However. in the old time in
Virginia the custom Of regulating the
price, or, rather, the weight, Of loaf
of bread by the price Of the wheat o.
which it was made was universal. So
far as liquor was concerned, the courts
used to fix not only the price OF a sin
gle drink. quart or gallon Of the
stuff, but also "a gorum Of punch. ="

Electricity.

The electrical properties of amber
were known to the Greeks before the
Christian era Electricity takes it's
name from the Greek word for amber.
Gilbert In 1000 was the first to employ
the terms "electric force" and "electric
attractions" In 1749 Franklin's cleo
trical researches had progressed so far
that he killed a turkey by the electric
spark and roasted it by an electric
jack before a fire kindled by the cleo
trio bottle, and in 1852 by means of the
kite experiment he demonstrated the
identity Of electricity and lightning.
The first magneto-electric machine was
made at Paris by Pixii in 1882; the
first telegraph line in the United
States was set up between Washington
and Baltimore in 1874; the first sub
marine cable was laid between Eng
land and France in 1850. AS early as
1902 Sir Humphry Davy produced an
electric light with carbon points on al
most the same principle as that now
employed The first electric railway
on the continent of Europe was built
by Sielnens at Berlin in 1881, the first
in England was constructed in 1882,
and in America the first electric line
was built in 1885.
