SCOTTY VISITS
HIS MINE AGAIN

"Scotty" has hit the trail again, and
according to a dispatch from Goldfeld
a few days ago he was in Ida riding
his trick mule, ''Slim," which he carried
with him in his theatrical ventures. He
slept in the corral with his favorite
mule and his burro, which is alleged to
have carried $3.50, 900 worth of picked
ore. AS usual Scotty was carefully
watched, but no one seems to have
located his famous bonanza mine. He
was extremely secretivs and talked
little about his property, but his tongue
was loose at both ends when it came to
discussing himself. He said that he in
tended to make a few splashes across
the continent, saying that he would
probably go on the stage again in a
play that would make them all come to
see him. "l've got 300 pounds of ore
here" he said, patting several sacks,
that is worth just $3.50, 900. l guess
that will last me until | go East and
back again. I'll just show some of
those suckers back there that | am not
as broke as they think l am" Scotty de-
clinedt to say anything about his fiasco at
Chicago, where he is said to have become
stranded, leaving with a stack of big
debts behind him.

expect to see more Eastern money
come into Nevada within the next six
months than ever before in the history
of this commonwealth. Level headed
business men are beginning to under
stand that mining is beingconducted in
the main along legitimate lines. That
the men who are interestedin mining in
Nevada are just As reputable and con-
servative as the Eastern manufacturer
or business mar in any line. They are
beginning to understand that Nevada
is jealous of her reputation; that she
will not stand for crooked methods, and
that every mar who invests a dollar
here is not only entitled TO a run for his
money but that he gets a run for it as
well.
ELKHoRN MINING COMPANY
We are advised from New York this
week that 0. F. Jonasson & company
have purchased the claims of the Elk
horn Mining company property out
right for cash, Incorporating a new
company with a capitalization of a
l, $50, 900 shares, with SOC, 900 shares in
the treasury. We are not advised as
to the officers and directors of the new
company, but we understand the board
will be made up of strong men, prob
ably some of the officers of the Denver,
Eclipse and Shoshone mines. The
property of the Elkhorn company con-
sists of the st. Anthony, Unexpected
and Elkhorn. The Elkhorn claim adj
joins the Bonanza Mountain company's
property on the northeast, and runs up
to the Vista Grande. The St. Anthony
and Unexpected adjoin the Polaris,
Montgomery Mountain and Amethyst
companies and the New Hampshire
group of claims. The shaft on the St.
Anthony has reached a depth of 80
feet, and there has been some so feet
of prosecuting done. The shaft or the
Unexpected claim has reached a depth
of 81 feet. About 1000 feet of surface
trenching and prosecuting have been
done on the three claims, exposing the
general trend of the ore bodies. The
vein exposed on the Unexpected shows
values as high as $1,000. The shaft on
the St. Anthony has cut some small
stringers carrying values. The title to
the property is absolutely clear. We
have secured an option on a small block
of treasury stock, which we offer at
SO cents a share. The old Elkhorn
company was incorporated on the basis
of three million shares capital. The
new capitalization is on a fair basis.
With active development work carried
on the Elkhorn property should develop
well, and we think the stock is a good
purchase at 80 cents a share.

Apropos of the recent visit of Sena-
tor w. A. Clark to the Southern Ne
vada mines upon matters connected
with railroad building, the brokerage
firm Of Taylor & Grihiths of Rhyolite
in their weekly report on that section
say: although he has invested mil
lions of dollars in building a railroad
from Las Vegas into the Bullfrog dis
trict, Senator w. A. Clark of Montana
had never visited this section of Nevada
until last week. After spending two
days in a hurried examination of the
big mines Of the district, accompanied
by his brother, ]. Ross Clark, who is
president of the Las Vegas & Tonopah
railroad, Senator Clark said that he
was more than satisfied this was going
to develop into a great, high-grade, per-
manent mining camp, with great deal
of high-grade ore to be shipped to the
smelters, and that he was pleased that
he had listened to the advice of his as
sociates, and that his railroad would be
the first to reach the Bullfrog district.
The heat of the desert had no terrors
for the senator, and he was on the go
from 6 o'clock in the morning until
dark, and then was busy with his secre-
tary until after midnight handling his
correspondence that followed him by
letter and telegraph. No miner in the
district puts in as many hours as does
this remarkable millionaire. 1t was in
spring to see him climb W the noun
tains, examining ore asking questions.
The grade of the Clark road is COM
pleted to Beatty. The rails are laid to
Roses well, Is miles from there, and
had it not been for the longshoremen's
strike on the Pacific coast trains would
be running into Beatty today. The
company has plenty of steel, and it is
only the lack of ties that has held them
back. The grade between Beatty and
Rhyolite is we'll under way. There is a
great deal of heavy rock work to be
done, but this will be finished and trains
will be running into Rhyolite early in
the fall. Senator Clark made the state
ment that he would continue his road
on to Tonopah without delay, and would
probably run through Smoky valley,
connecting with the Western Pacific
at some point in the northern part of
the state. "Borax" Smith admits that
he is beaten in the raiload building race
to Rhyolite, and it looks as though
Senator Clark would have this field to
himself for the next six or eight months.
The market during the past week has
been fairly steady. although transac-
tions were not large. The action of the
New York Stock Exchange in prevent
ing its members from having any re.
lations with the members of the Mining
Exchange and the New York State TAI
of 2 cents a share on mining stocks
regardless of the par value, has had al
unsettling effect, which, however, is be
ing rapidly overcome Wall Street il
jealous of Nevada. Too much money
has been put into Nevada stocks tt
suit the members of the New Yorl
Stock Exchange, but their efforts will
not prevail. Most stocks dealt in Oh

directly under the shaft, which has
reached a depth of 65 feet. They will
raise from the tunnel to the bottom of
the shaft and continue sinking. A sta
ton will be cut at the intersection of the
shaft and tunnel, and the hoist will be
installed at this point, as it would cost
several thousand dollars to build a road
around the mountain to the collar of the
shaft.
GIBRALTAR
AS was reported last week, are
working two shifts of nine men in the
LIE Roi shaft, which has reached a
depth of 120 feet. Not into the Gre
body yet, although paintings show good
colors. The company will sink 300 feet
at this point before prosecuting, the
objective point being the 500-foot level,
where extensive development work
will be carried on. No. 2 tunnel is in
$40 feet, and values are improving
with every foot. A sample taken
across a foot and a half of the face of
this tunnel Wednesday of last week,
ran $1857. 10 to the ton. Showed So
ounces of silver and 81 ounces gold.
A sample taken from the north drift
No. 2ledge in the crosscut tunnel, ran
$33.11. This sample was taken across
the whole face of the drift. Superin-
tendent Nelson is working 26 men all
told, and is more than gratified at the
way the values improved during the
last month.
GOLD BAR SOUTH EXTENSION
AS soon as the bids are in for cross
cutting, which will be run from the
bottom of the shaft, work will be re-
sumed and carried on without interrupt
ton all summer. There is more ac-
tivity in the Gold Bar section of the
Bullfrog district than any part of the
camp. Work was started on two new
properties this week. The Gold Bar
hill is covered with a system of parallel
lodges. The best experts in camp
agree that the Gold Bar South Exten-
sion property carries the big Gold Bar
ledge the entire length of the Midnight
Test claim. Good values are obtained
in the shaft down to the 65-foot point,
where the shaft cut through the ledge.
BULLFRoG MINING COMPANY
The main crosscut tunnel is being
pushed ahead as fast as possible. The
face of the tunnel is improving and
values are increasing. Sinking on the
west side of the property has been
temporarily suspended, and the men
have been put at work drifting, at a
depth of about go feet below the main
tunnel. The lead in the drift is show
ing strong, with an increase of values.
On the east side of the property, the
drift on the main ledge is showing
increased values and widening out,
there being 81 to a feet of milling ore
exposed now.

The weather OF the great week was not
propitious for fur display, though the last
two days we're cool enough to offer an
excuse for fur coats but not to demand
them. However, women who had new furs
to show bravely wore them, even though
IL meant discomfort, and there were many
charming neck pieces and muffs OF view,
even on the muggiest days.
Sable was, of course, the ~favorite for
those who could afford it, but few Of the

at other horse shows we're in evidence. and
the fur was displayed chiefly in neck and
