ME, Looking for a Lost
Cobalt and Nickel Mine
WANTS COPPER ALSO

JOHNNIE, New. oct.x s-Thomas A
Edison. the electrical wizard. has
agents in this State looking for lost
mines. Yesterday W. L. Bachtei passed
through Johnnie. bearing a letter from
Edison stating he was commissioned
to bug nickel and cobalt properties;
also TO get a collection of minerals and
formations of the State of Nevada.
Bachtel said there was nickel and
cobalt property in Nevada that had
record of rich production and he was
searching for it. Old prospectors ad-
could give no definite information
about ii.
Edison. so the agent said. was
searching for cobalt and nickel, which
metals are very scarce The mines OF
the world are not supplying the de-
mand and Bachtel said such men as
Edison and his associates have agents
in the field looking for these metals
and especially for copper.
Before leaving Bachtel acquired
some copper holdings in Johnnie, but
would not state for whom, simply say
ing for Fasteners 1t is thought Edi-
son and his associates got the mines,
realizing that the demand for copper
today exceeds the supply.
lean Mining and Development Com
pany. branch of the great American
Shelter Trust. has fifty men taking
and testing samples from a 400-foot
copper ledge located and recently ac-
quired at Sweetland. twenty miles east
of this city. Work has progressed sew
eral months and results have been sat
isfactory, according to the opinions of
those engaged in the work The ledge
carries a good percentage of gold
Announcement was made some time
ago that if the ledge showed sufficient
values a great mining and smelling
works would be established This
promise now seems sure of redemption
and the locality may soon become an
other Keswick. The hills in that To-
cality have long been known to con-
tain large copper deposits, but none
were even developed. If the company
decides TO build the works. railroad
will be built from Marysville TO Top
district and will probably be branch
of the California Midland.

CYCEONIC STORM

High Wind Causes Serious
Mix-Up in Logging Camps
and at Hartman's Mill
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

BOULDER CREEK, Oct. 7.-Millmen
and woodmen brought further news to-
day of the cyclonic storm that ragged
through the timber belt from point
some distance east of Pescadero, thence
southeasterly across the headwaters OF
the San Lorenzo River. through gap
in the mountains to Deer Greek, where
the storm broke with incredible fury,
tearing up trees and stripping bark
from tough madrones and oaks. Many
giant redwoods ten to sixteen feet in
diameter were tilted until they are a
menace TO the logging crews On the
head waters of Deer Creek is the shin
gle mill of Isaiah Hartman, run by
Louis Hoffman. Here the storm lev
eled cabins and drove workmen into
the open to escape death from falling
trees. Hoffman narrowly escaped be-
ing struck by falling limb. The wind
gauge registered velocity Of l1S miles
before it was torn from its fastenings.

STRIKE IN WEST ToNoPAH.
Several Companies Plan Operations In
Vicinity of That Nine.

TONOPAH, Oct s.-The Importance
of the recent strike in the West Tono-
pah mine can be judged by the fact
that several companies owning claims
in that vicinity are planning TO begin
active exploration OF their ground in
search of the continuation Of the ore
body The Great Western Company
has already announced it's intention Of
beginning a course OF work on its
property and in fact has already
started on the project. Another group
which has a splendid opportunity to
catch the West Tonopah ledge is the
Tonopah Comstock. which owns a
block of ground adjoining the Lot
terry claim of the former company, on
which the find was made.
and the property of the O'Meara-Lynch
Company OF this city and Salt Lake.
While nothing definite has been given
out, II is understood that the shrewd
management of the Utah company sees
sufficient reason in the West Tonopah
find to begin work on its group and
has already made some arrangements
in the East 10 that end. 1t is said un-
officially that the West Tonopah peo-
pie, in the north crosscut from the
82o-foot level, forty feet below the
place of the original strike. have cut
