JOHNNIE
DISTRICT
James L Butler, Harry Ram
sey and George Bartlett
Have Great Property.

The Mining World Of Chicago re-
fers to the Chispa group Of mines
owned by well-known and highly es-
teemed Tonopahans as follows:
The Chispa is being again opened
up, the shaft retimbered and
Strengthened and a force o, men EN-
ployed in retimbering al the old
workings. James Butler, Harry
Ramsey and Geo. Bartlett, formerly
Of Tonopah, are now the principal
owners Of the Chispa. Bunk houses
have been built and Accommodations
provided for the working force. In
the near future a steam hoist will be
installed. At the $50 foot level an
S00-foot drift has been run, showing
the ledge S to l6 feet in width in a
line ouartzite contact. Three shafts
have been sunk on the vein, which
outcrops for a mile. The Chispa
was first developed in 1890 by Bob
and George Montgomery. Later
they sold it to Salt Lake parties. A
large amount of ore was taken out
Of these shafts and milled on the
ground. but the wealth secured was
invested in other states, and when
additional Development was required
on the Chispa, the mine was shut
down. The new management are all
practical mining men who have made
fortunes in the desert mines, and
they have Incorporated the six
claims Of the Chispa group under
the name Of the Congress Gold Min
ing and Milling company. John Ross
is superintendent.

FAIR
NEVADA
Though Fair, Fat and Forty, the
Young State is Still Exciting
Admiration,

Forty.one years ago on October
81, Nevada was admitted to the
sisterhood OF states. She was a pre-
cocious child. not especially fair to
look upon, but immensely wealthy,
and for a short time a brilliant career
was predicted for her. Then re-
verses came, her wealth had gone to
beautify and enrich her more comely
sisters, and those to whom her treas
ures had been given with a prodigal
hand Knocked and despised he in her
poverty; there were none save her
grown children who loved her and
remained loyal,
With the lapse Of years has come
another change. At the age OF Al,
Nevada is more beautiful than when
budding into womanhood, and the
wealth Of which she had been des-
poiled in youth has returned a hun
dred fold. In the galaxy Of states
there is none f%airer, 0 n who wooes
with a more subtle charm. The eyes
OF the world are looking ~longingly 10
her direction. Her mountains
crowned with diadems Of snow aud
interlaced with bands OF copper, sill
yer and gold appeal to the eye and
Imagination as never before. Her
valleys, carpeted with green, and
respondent with agricultural posi-.
bilities are viewed with greater
appreciation.
Hail, dear young Nevada, fair,
. fat and forty" May you grow more
beautiful with the years, and may
each succeeding year be more pros
porous than the ast.-Progressive
West.

LAS VEGAS
& TONOPAH
Work on New Road From the
South is Being Pushed to
Completion Rapidly.

The work Of construction on the
Las Vegas & Tonopah railroad is
progressing with a vim. Contrac-
tors, engineers and material men are
busy clean through.
The material yard employs one
hundred men in piling rails, ties and
feed for the features in which all
these throngs are to be applied, says
the Las Vegas Times. Deal Bros.
and Mendenhall, the grading con
tractors, have 275 men in their en-
ploy at present and 118 teams are en-
gagged on the grade line. These ac
tive forces are distributed for miles
along the survey and make the dlrt
fly which permits the calculation
that within forty five days they will
reach Indian Creek with the grade
in such condition as to be closely fol
loves by the track layers and tie
binders. Ten miles of this grade is
completed and on Thursday track
laying was commenced.
The contractors estimate that from
now on they will have graded and
nearly ready for the fnishers at
least one mile Of roadway.

A Splendid Property.

W. H. Edwards, who with a num-
Der Of eastern parties recently pur-
chased the Arson Phelps, Stokes
mines at Austin, was in Salt Lake a
few days ago. The Tribune of that
city referred to him and the Stokes
mines as follows:
wv. H. Edwards, a prominent
figure in the western mining States
is in this city. He has just organized
the Austin Hanapah Mining com
pany for the purpose Of continuing
the extensive extraction of ore that
has been going on for a long time ia
this famous property.
"The group consists of 1900 acres
Of patented ground, and the property
has produced up to the present time
ore to the value Of s44 900, 900. 1t is
within the contemplation Of the com.
pany to increase the force now EN-.
ployed at the mines, and a vigorous
and productive year is a certainty
for the company. Among the many
equipments Of the mines that will
tend to make Of the company one Of
the most prominent in the State is a
large and fully equipped mill for re-
the ores Of the property.

cHEAPENs COST OF GLASS
Invention Of Belgian Seems Likely
to RevolutiOnizs Industry
Of nuremberg.

A departure in glassmaking methods
threatens almost a revolution In the
Industry. according 70 Consul Book. Of
Nuremberg.
Should Il really possess the advan-
tages claimed i would cause serious
damage to the b'eoing glass plate in
dustry in this district. where three
fourths" glass plates are chiefly manu-
factured. So far two methods have
been employed In the manufacture Of
crystal plate glass and mirror and win
dow glass. namely. that Of casting and
blowing. The new third method is
the invention OF Mr.. Fourcault. a Bel
gian. who has sold his patent to a Eu-
ropean syndicate OF plate glass manu-
facturers for $685.. 900. This syndi-
cate consists Of German. French and
BeIgian manufacturers ana one Bohe-
milan factory.
Until now IN the making OF window
glass the molden substance has been
blown into cylinders by glassmakers'
pipes and subsequently fattened. while
In the making OF plate glass the viscid
mass was cast from the pots and
rolled. The new invention draws the
molten substance from the pot and
conducts It between rollers lying side
BY side. Seventeen pairs Of these roll
srs are built up towerlike above the
pct.

Oklahoma are held up temporarily.
The form sent 70 Acting Secretary
Ryan Of the department Of the inter-
ior b. the general land Office IS not
acceptable in one very important
particular. A question arises as to
the manner Of dispOsing Of the
lands.
The act Of congress makes il
optional with the secretary Of the
interior whether he shall sell the
lands at public auction or under
sealed bids. The general land Office
ia ors the auction plan, while Sec
retary Ryan IS in doubt whether
that would be the wisest plan, since
it gives oDonunity for combination
among bidders.
It is admitted that the sealed bid
plan might prevent the poor man.
the honest-intentioned settler, from
bidding on more than one piece Of
land. as a cash deposit IS required
from bidders under this plan. Judge
Ryan stated today that he had re-
