PATRIOTIC DECORATIONS.
Fourth OF July Suggestions from the
Holidays Birthplace.

FIoHodJb bIFkVptaCo.
The Philadelphia Record gives these sug-
gcstions for Fourth OF July decorations:
For the adornment OF the piazza the ever
popular japanese lanterns are always Mt
hand. but many n timId woman fears TO
hfssc the fiimsy things 80 near the hight
dresses OF her guests. For those who OBJ
ject 10 paper lanterns there are little af-
fairs made OF colorcd glass In TN frames.
These give quite an pretty an effect ms tho
japanese lanterns and are not In danger
OF catching IRE whenever q stray brecze
destroys their equilibrium. Ths japanese
lanterns may then be used under the trees
and around the gardens.
Toy balions give a novel effect around n
piazza. alternating with the lamps. They
may ba tied TO the porch railing and put
at varying heights.
on account OF the probabilities OF thun-
derstorms and the general confusion Of the
lawn. due TO the fragments OF fireworks,
the hostess generally plans 20 servo her

An attractive table pisnoed by oDe hos

CLARK'S BULLFROG RAILROAD FAST
MAKING FOR THE SOUTHERN CAMP

that trains will be running into Gold
Crater by May /, and that the road will
be in operation to Bullfrog not later
than June /.
On March 10 Mr.. Whittemore and ].
Ross Clark will visit Bullfrog, coming
in by the way of Indian Springs, and
will then journey to Goldheld and Tono-
pah with the object of gaining an idea
of the topography of the country and it's
railroad possibilities. The gentlemen
will be in Goldfeld on March IL, and
will confer with number of prominent
mining and business men on matters
connected with the proposed road.
Mr. Whittemore states that distance
between Tonopah and Salt Lake via the
new line will be $40 miles as against
SCI miles by way of the Hazen cutoff
and considers that the saving in time
by means of the shorter haul will appeal
to the shippers of the district.

Forty-fve tons of high grade ore
went out from the main workings Of the
Florence Wednesday to the Globe smell
ter at Denver and three days preceding
like tonnage of second class rock was
forwarded to Miller's siding. Superin-
tendent Oliver informs The News that
the physical condition of the mine is in
every way satisfactory and that excell-
ent gold values are being secured on
every level. Rusty gold still continues
to be feature in the sulphide shoot be-
ing worked in the 150-foot level and
samples of the rock show a liberal
plastering of the precious metal. which
likewise pertains in the seams and crew
ices. Development is being furthered
as rapidly as geological conditions will
permit and is at all times kept ahead of
production. From present indications
there is every reason to believe that the
mine will produce in excess of $1,000,
900 worth of gold bearing ore during the
present year
Arrangements are now practically
completed for the installation of the
sampling machinery which is en- route
to Goldfeld from the plant of Allis-
Chalmers company of Chicago. The
building is in readiness for its housing.
the Acton ore bins have been con-
structed and the foundation for the
crusher is being prepared. The sampler
will have a capacity of 100 tons every
10 hours and when 1t is in operation
every pound of ore mined on company
account and by the various leasers will
be sampled thereat Included in the
mechanism are a Gates Il. No 2, gyra-
tory crusher; two elevators; one set of
rolls; two Vein samplers; one grinder;
one 30-horse power electric motor and
necessary shafting
Yesterday the annual meeting OF the
Florence Mining company was held at
which plans were outlined for the future
development of the acreage and officers
and directors elected for the en-
! suing year. 1t was decided to
ship the dump rock at the
main workings to the New Western
plant for treatment to the full capacity
of the mill, and to later enter into a
contract with the company for regular
consignments, provided that the latter
handle the ore successfully and within
reasonable time erect. an addition to
the plant which will more adequately
meet the production demands of the
Florence company If the mill people
fail in these particulars the Florence
management is prepared to erect a mill
addition to the sampling plant now un-
der course of construction at the prop
erty.
The following named gentlemen were
elected TO the directorate of the Flor
ence company: r. q. Lockhart, A. ID.
Parker, Frank oliver, M. A. Lockhart
and George Wingfeld. Later the direc-
tors met and reelected the old set of
officers. Namely, T. G. Lockhart. pres
ident; A. d. Parker, vice president and
treasurer: Frank Oliver, secretary.

TRIANGLE

For a number of days past persist
ent rumor has been in circulation to the
effect that a control of the Diamond
field Triangle company has been pur-
chased by a syndicate of Tonopah cap
italists headed by William ("BillyD
Douglas. The price paid for the stock
is said to have been 22h cents per
share, which If true, is nearly double
the present market price. On the
strength of the report Triangle secur-
tiles jumped from 9 to 13 cents at the
local call Tuesday afternoon.
The property is located in the Dia-
mondfield section and has unquestioned
prospective merit A shaft has been sunk
a distance of 100 feet and from its bot
tom a drift is being extended on o.

on it in search of pay values in ship

WAKES UP DISTRICT
Development OF Great Bend Mine En-
courages Activity In That Section.
Great Bend Extension Or

Extensive development is to begin
within a few days on the acreage of the
Great Bend Extension Mining company
under the management of ]. r. Davis
of Sandstone and Great Bend fame. The
properties are located in the Diamond
field section, south of the holdings of
the Great Bend Mining company. and
carry the extension of the main ledge
which is being so successfully explored
in the latter's territory. The names of
the claims are the Good Old Summer
Time and Palace.
The ground was formerly owned by b.
j. Reilly, the man who mined half
less than a half-year. Recently. how
ever, he was induced to sell an interest
to George w. e. Dorsey. former con-
gressman from Nebraska, Judge Sher-
man. j. r. Davis and F. II. Lathrap,
secretary of the Goldfeld Mining Stock
exchange. These gentlemen together
with Mr.. Reilly. organized the COM
pany which now controls the ground
Fifty thousand shares OF the treasury
stock were placed on sale this week and
within a few days were over-subscribed
seven times.
The officers of the company are: II.
j. Reilly, president; Judge Sherman,
vice president; George w. f. Dorsey,
treasurer; F. II. Lathrap, secretary.
The directorate is composed of the
above mentioned gentlemen together
with J. r. Davis
GRAY ON GOLD BAR
A AXIS shaft is being sunk on an s-foot
ledge at the Gray and Smith lease on
the Gold Bar claim of the Gold Bar Min
ing company The ultimate depth de-
cided upon by the operators is $50 feet
and as the shaft is lowered to that point
stations are to be cut and drifts run
out with each so feet of depth gained
At present values are of fair shipping
grade and as they are improving with
each days sinking it appears probable
that pay ore will be found by explora-
tion of the lead at depth.
MAYNE-CooK
Shafts are being sunk on both the
lodges exposed few feet from surface
on block No. of the Kendall claim un-
der lease to A. III. Mayne and Herbert
Cook Good values have been present
from grass roots and at points where
the leads have been stripped at surface
shipping ore has been sacked. The ore
occurs in lunches however, and thus
far neither in the shaft or at surface
have pay values been at all permanent.
HTGGINSo1T BROCK
Fifty feet of crosscutting on the
ledge showing in the Lang
ford workings on the Cold Wedge claim
has failed to reveal the hanging wall
Average values rule strong at better
than $40 the ton. As soon as the other
wall is encountered drifting will be
taken up along the trend of the vein.
DEEP EXPLORATION
Arrangements are being made by the
management of the Columbia Mountain
Mining company to sink deep main
working shaft on their Columbia noun
tain estate. There is a good vein show
ing on the property but values are err
