NEVADA HILLS ADVANCE.
Heavy Ore Shipments From Property

came known early in the week that the

fifty tons of ore for more than $4,000, and
this news was followed by reports that
more was en- route. w. V Rice. treas
urer of the company, vas asked yeSter-
day to tell what the company was doing
and. while he would not talk of the rich
ear of ore that had been sold he did say
that three more cars had since been re
ceived and that another was en- route
from the mine.

other shipment is made said Mr.. Rice.

notified that we can bill and ship our

We have had ore dropped by the hauling
contractor a different points along
Ion and > Hazen, with the calcula-
lion that he could get il loaded
without having to haul the full distance.
He was informed short time ago that
he would have TO deliver every pound of
ore that was thus scattered along the
road and where it could be stolen, just
as well as not. at HaZen before he was
given another load from the mine. Most
of the ore that has been delivered here
during the week. as well as the car en-
accumulation. so it may be looked upon
much in the nature of cleanup"
The mine was looking fine, Mr.. Rice
said, and everything was running smooth

as II is possible to bill the ore out from

were for July, when they amounted to

advanced several cents per pound in price.
The Mammoth company now is doubling
the capacity of its smelter from three to
six furnaces, but it will be late in the
spring before its new furnaces will be in
commission.
Although the Mammoth smelter was
only started year ago this month, IL
has earned for the twelve months about
of the United States Smelling,

.noth mines and smelling plant. These
earnings alone have been more than SUI
ficient to meet the preferred stock div

The Mammoth company is now earning
at the rate of 81 400 900 per annum, and OF
course these earnings will be doubled
when its enlarged smelling plant is
placed in operation.

The sudden departure of c. ID. Rock

accounted for in a report that has just
come from Winnemucca. j. w. Rock
lidge, his brother. has just closed deal
for the purchase OF the properties in
which a sensational strike was made a
few weeks ago, twenty-five miles west OF
Humboldt House, on the Southern Pacific
road, an account of which The Herald
published at the time. Thu deal was
closed in Winnemucca Thursday morn
ing, when one-third of the stated pur-
chase price of $4,000 was paid over TO
the owners of the ground by the Rock
lidges.
The first news to reach this city of the
discovery came through George wilson,
superintendent of the Nevada Superior
company's properties, not far from which
the discoveries have been made. Whether
Mr. Wilson is personally interested in
the deal made is not related. but Win

expressed the opinion that it was the
best strike he had ever seen in the state

A letter from the Jennie company's su-

ty. states that the ledge has now been
opened for g distance OF seventy feet

showing up fine ore.
A letter from the superintendent of the
Gold Quartz company's mines at Tenabo,
New. states that the ledge has been
opened on the 100-foot level. and that four
feet of ore has been so far exposed. How
much wider it is going to prove to be
there was nothing to indicate when the
letter was written. A box of samples was
sent out by express and the statement
was volunteered that. judging from what
the ore had shown above, the stuff on
the 100-fOOt level would be worth between
500 and $500 a ton. Most of the mining
to date has been done on the fifty-foot
level. where the ore has been netting the

He1bert Edward Gardner, represent

trends in the Homan house lobby one
evening last week and between the
puffs Of his Havana started in to tell
a story.
"Did l see such a canine marvel my
self?" and Mr.. Gardner's serious tone
half chaeked the laugh that was about
to go the rounds. "Why, no, 1 did
not, but / saw a man who did see him,
and the man told me all about the
four-footed prodigy.
"Telegraphya Why, that was moth

"Thc dog-his name was Pawn

on his back, shaggy coat, spots that
looked like the triple alliance of balls

ears, sharp nose and brown, innocent
eyes. He had a tall must not for

portant part in my story-that was
only a stub about six inches long, and
that dog could express wonders in the
wacs of that tail-almost talk with it.
.'Pawnbroker belonged to a tele-
graph operator named Tanguary, who
was employed at alittle western mining
station known as Cuchare, and the dog,
very much attached to his master,
would sit by Tanguary's work table
all day long, listening to the clicking
the key and wagging that excuse
for a tail whenever he was spoken to.
wherever Tanguary went Pawn
broker was at he heels. The two
were inseparable, and If the master
was in luck the dog was sure of an
easy living, and if things were charry
with him the quadruped was content
with the worst.
Pawnsbroker wasn't considered any
thing very remarkable for brightness

east on a little vacation, took Pawn

evening, and Tanguary, needing a

He struck a place in some side street,

real life was one of the shrewdest

a heavy bearded chap, wore a blue
flannel shirt with a red 'kerchief
knotted about his throat. He was a
miner, and looked the part. The other
man was the usual tavern frequenter,
no special mark about him to distin-
guish him from his fellows. On the

piles of chips, reds, whites and blues,
the miner had only a little sack, and
the bum, who'd gone broke, had only
three white ones.
~"Tanguary was presented to the
gathering and given a seat at the
table. He bought $50 worth of chips
and entered into the game, hoping to
break the lot. The miner lost out al

three white chips went the same road,
and the play was between only the

luck was of the FUNNIEST sort. With
four knaves he bet the limit of his
chips, $60-he'd picked up SO of the
