Westminster the Best Market for
Wheat.

Mr.. Charles c. Gorsuch, President of The
N. /. Gorsuch Son Co., when asked the cause
Of the heavy decline in the price of wheat,
said, one Of the principal causes was, the loss
Of our export business bat that it looked at
present. AS il this year we would be called on
by Europe for large supplies TO make up the
shortage that exists in some parts of the world,
referring to Westminster as good market for
the farmer to sell his wheat he asserted that
ut no time since harvest has good wheat
brought less than 20 cents bushel here. while
at Maple Grove, Hampstead. Alesia and other
points along the Hanover Railroad, IS cents
was the ruling price for time; the same price
was paid at New Windsor. Linwood, Union
Bridge, Detour and other points along the
Main line of the Western Maryland Railroad
the same can be said of points along the BAlti
more and Ohio Railroad from Monrovia to
Ellicett City.
Mr.. Gorsueh asserted that the crop of wheat
that is being marketed now is the best crop of
wheat that we have had for years, and Vest
minister being the second city in the State for
milling capacity, would be found TO lead all
other points IN the county in price and demand.
aud he felt AS if Westminster would regain
some of the grain trade that had been lost in
the past four years when the crop was so badly
damaged by rain, making it largely unfit for
milling purposes.

not to depend on South Carolina Rock or

The Diamond Drill.

In view of the fact that several Ne
vada mining companies are preparing to
use diamond drills, the following des-
cription of the drill in the Chicago Min
inc World will prove interesting at this
time:
The diamond drill consists of a crown
or cylinder Of steel around one edge of
which are fixed a series Of carbons or
black diamonds. These carbons are set
so that they project alternately a little
beyond the outside and inside edge of
the cylinder. This crown is screwed to
lengths of iron tubing as it cuts it way
by rotation into the rock and it makes,
as it descends, an annular cutting some
what larger than the thickness of the
continuous tube, which the crown and
its shaft form. Thus a core of rock is
cut out and held within the tube anc
the pieces may be lifted out as work
proceeds. The powdered rock resulting
from the abrasion of the carbons is con
~tinuously washed away by a current Of
water forced down within the tubing,
Diamond drills are made in sizes from
II up to 10 inches in diameter. In Dor
ing very deep holes thousands of dollars
worth of carbons will be consumed
The market price of carbons is now $7I
per carat.

Nevada Banks.
BY T. b. RICE Ely

''The banks throughout Nevada are
as solid as rocks, and they are every bit
as good today as before the earthquake.
Of course it is to be expected that the
actual supply of coin will be a little
short all over the west until the vaults
of the destroyed banks of San Francisco
cool down enough to allow the men to
get out their books. They have an am
pie cash supply ready to their hands as
soon as they are prepared to take it.
All that is lacking is the books.
81 cannot see that the financial situa-
ton Of the country is in any way injured
by the disaster. OF course, there may
be an isolated concern here and there in
the city hat loses by reason of bad
loans, but | do not think it probable.
San Francisco is just entering on an era
of prosperity, such as it never before
experienced. The boom that will follow
the destruction of the city will be a big
thing of wonder or l am much mistaken
in my judgment of the signs.
GAS far as my institutions are con
cerned they were never on a better
basis than they are today. Business
will be a little retarded, of course, but
not nearly so much as people seem t.
think.
"We are going to rush along the con
struction of the new building, just a;
though the earthquake had never hap
pened, and outside of a little difficulty
in securing building material, due toth'
demand for supplies Of all kinds n San
Francisco, we are in exactly as goot
shape as we were a month ago.
"This Nevada country will go ahea'
in the same way that it has been doinI
in the past, and soon the earthquake il
San Francisco win be only a matter o
history"

MOHAWK A WONDER.
Hayes and MOnnette Lease
Has Big Pay Shute.
Property at Columbia Mountain is one
Of the Best in GOIdfieId District.

During the past six weeks there have
been no less than four new shippers
added to the list in the Goldfield dis
trict, and if this record is kept up some
of the older camps viii have to "get a
move on or they will be in the second
column. The latest to make its debut
in a very substantial way is the Hayes
and Monnette lease on the Mohawk
property, and from the showings that
are being made on the property at the
present time, it looks as though the
famous Reilly and Ish leases would be
classed as second raters.
The scene of the new strike or the
Mohawk No. / is directly north of and
adjoins the Combination, and is only a
short distance from the Ish lease, which
came into prominence a few weeks ago.
Considerable work has been done on the
new find and a vast amount Of money
was expended in an effort to locate the
big pay shoot, which the leasers were
satisfied, was to be found on their
ground.
A Review representative was accord
ed the pleasure of inspecting the strike
yesterday and it is safe to say that it
equals, if not surpasses, anything in the
district. Every pound of ore for the
entire width Of the ledge is broken
down and shipped, no sorting whatever
being required, and during the past six
days, or since the strike vas first made,
several teams have been constantly en-
gagged hauling to the Columbia sampler.
In this time six carloads have been
taken out and shipped, and with the
present hosting facilities at the lease
fully fifty tons can easily be taken out
daily.
The new find is not alone confined t.
the upper level. The shaft has beer
continued to the 210 foot level and
crosscut driven to the east a short dis,
lance and a continuation of the shoot
was opened up fully as big as that OF
the $50. No effort has been made K
take out the ore on the lower level al
vet. AS soon as the shaft is timbereC
and better facilities for hosting ar,
arranged, more men will be added ant
it is firmly believed, by those who hav'
seen the new strike, that it will estab
lish a record for production, that wi
surpass anything in the history of tn
camp.-Goldfeld Review.

New Bird.

For some weeks past there has been
a fock of about one hundred birds at
the Holstein ranch which somewhat
resemble canaries. The males are a
bright lemon color with black wings
and il some instances with bright green
breasts. The females are mouse color
and they keep up a clatter that can be
heard for some distance. They gather
in clusters on a single tree and do not
seem to mind people walking near them.
The writer has never seen similar birds
in 1ocks before in this section. Can
anyone tell the name Of this feathered
variety?-Carson Appeal.
Why that's easy. 1t is a philalieu
bird, which thrives where sand is plenti-
full. Lots of them in Carson.
