With the exception of the Blossom, which produced 300, ,0OOS from off the surface, the new discovery is the best ever found in the district. It is the most sensational strike ever made in Searchlight, and has caused a great stampede. The original locations were made the latter part of January, and since last Saturday, when the news be- came generally known, the country has been overrun with prospectors. Locations have been made for miles around in every direction. Where a week ago there was only barren desert today stands Camp Sunrise, line of tents along a single street, in which sounds all day long the hammering of pestals, and every morning is the sig nal for a rush in a new direction in quest of extensions. So far, the Sun rise group, the original location is the bonanza of the camp. The fortu- nate owners are Chas. Halquist and Pete Hummel, the later is also the dis coverer of the Lucky Dutchman mine at Crescent. They have six claims, covering 1900 feet along the vein, and two parallel protection claims on eith- CT side. The vein is described as an immense porphyretic spar dyke, lying in an iron-stained porphyry formation. The ledge is much harder than the country rock, which is decomposed. The vein is easily traceable for fully 1900 feet, and is frequently cut and ex- posed by a winding, twisting canyon. For this entire distance, for varying width of from twelve to twenty feet, the groupings horn from 5 to 25S. Out side of half dozen shallow open cuts no work has been done on the prop erty. So far as prospected the zone of naturalization is apparently about one mile square, the formation being the so-called lode porphyry. The new strike will be a great benefit to Search light, opening up as it does an entire ily new section of country.-Nevada Searchlight.
 The Woodbury brothers, nephews of Richard Gird, one of the original dis coverers of the Tombstone mines, have located a large group of lead-silver claims in the Rogers and Cole districts, forty miles north of Florence, in the Superstition range, and are preparing to ship ore. One of the brothers went to Phenix this week to incorporate the properties. One-third of the stock will be set aside as treasury stock and will be sold as needed to meet any ex' pense of development work not cover ed by the proceeds from ore shipped The veins of these properties are moi large but the ore is very high grade and considerable quantity of it was shipped at good profit in the early days when transportation to the mar kets was so high as to amount to al most confscation. With the present greatly reduced cost of transportation in their favor the boys should realize large profits from their shipments Florence Blade.

 A most gratifying feature of the gold and silver mining industry in 1905 was the payment of increased dividends and the accumulation of a large sur plus by the better managed properties. Mining World.

God and Silver Production.

Never before has the worlds pro- duction of gold been as large as it was in 1905, when it aggregated 375, 597, ,S93s. This is per cent greater than the previous record, in 1904, and judging by the progressive spirit which is dic- tating further improvements in mining and metallurgical methods and ma chinery to reduce the cost and make possible the profitable development of many lCw-grade mines, the gold pro- duction in 1906 may carry the banner as the leader.
 An unusual occurrence in 1905 was the drop from first to third place as a gold producer by Australia, which re- ported S4, l53, ,S53s, and the rise to sec ond place by the United States, with S6, 29S, ,2O0S; while the Transvaal led with 1O1, 179, ,473S, its high record. To- gether these three countries supplied nearly three-quarters of the worlds gold output in 1905.
 The silver production in the world, reported principally by Mexico and the United States, showed marked expan- sion in 1905, amounting approximately to lSO,OOO,OOO fine ounces. Market prices during 1905 were the highest in years, and encouraged the development of properties which have heretofore

Premier Staaf of Sweden and his asso-
ciates in the Swedish ministry are not
finding their tasks any too pleasant
and are meeting much criticism. AS
the first liberal ministry, many reforms
have been expected, but these are diff
ficult to effect, as the conservatives,
having control in the first chamber, are
still power. The question Of ex-
tending the electoral franchise so as to
make it practically universal is still an
open one. While there are many
strong opponents to franchise reforms
among the reactionary senator's, there
are. several cheering indications that
the sentiment in the upper house is
veering in the direction Of the popular
demand, and that the government will
score a victory ere long.
Vart Land and Allehanda of late
have been bitter in their criticism
against the ministry for it's conduct
toward Norway. Vart Land declares
the reindeer question has been handled
in manner lily BETTING the dignity Of
Sweden, and accuses the foreign min
the rights of the Swedish Lapps. The
Norwegian "lensmand, who drove
the Iapps and their reindeer out of the
country, should be punished, says the
paper. ..E.-,r Ii

Everything has now been arranged
for the new cottage Miss Davis will
build to complete the Mary Davis Sun
shine lodge at Forest Lake, MINI.
George F. Bertrand kindly gave some
timely suggestions and Judge L. w.
Collins worked out the full plans.
The new cottage will be considerably
larger than the one now on the grounds,
but the exterior will be similar in plan.
The ground floor will have a large liv-
ing room with six windows, a CRATE ano
open stat rway. The dining room, vii
also be large to accommodate the TWEEN
ty OF more guests the lodge will have
each week. This room will have four
windows and a door opening on a
screened, porch The kitchen will have
plenty of windows, wet sink, and
along all one side will be a wide
screened porch, practically making an
other room. There will be four large
rooms upstairs, which, with the old cot
tage, will make ten sleeping rooms.
The two cottages will be several feet
apart to allow for light and air and the
screened front porches will be connect
ed, making covered passageway be-
beautiful, extending o some $50 feet
from the road, and ahere are MAGNIFICENT
old trees. Miss Davis has purchased
the right of-way to a strip of land
reaching to the lake shore and will
erect a bathhouse. This promises to be
the faverite place for the children, for
there is fine beach where the children
can wade out up to their necks.
! Both cottages will be painted in the
Sunshine colors, yellow and white, the
body being yellow and the trimmings
white.
. All the branches are taking a great
interest in the work, and several have
already offered to furnish, rooms. Each
room will bear the name of the branch
which furnished it. The Crawford, the
Coreopsis and the Golden Rod branches
Of this city have practically planned
their rooms. The Autumn Leaf branch
Of st. Paul will also furnish a room anC
the Faribault branch will aid in some
way.
Sunshine hopes that all the branches
in the state will contribute in some way
towards furnishing the cottages. The
expenses will be greatly increased this
year, but the widespread interest Mis-
Davis gift has awakened encourages
the officers to feel there will be no diff
ficulty in raising the necessary funds.
The Mary Davis Sunshine lodge will
be the only outing home in the stat,
where poor women and children can b.
entertained free of all expense, an,
