Reports of the speech delivered at Ur-

berg. the German ambassador, in which
he pointed out the wonderful resemb-
lance between the maxims of Kang Hi,
the great Chinese emperor, and the
public sayings of President Roosevelt
were received with tremendous enthus-
iasf in the Chinese quarter here.
DR.. Bull Con Tok, in talking yester-
day to your correspondent of the dis
covery of the German ambassador,
said it was not going too far to as
sumo that President Roosevelt was ac-
tually the re-incarnation of the illus
trious Kang Hi.
at is written said the doctor,
that once during his reign the great
Kang Hi was approached by delega-
ton of Chinese bon vivants, who in
quired of his majesty the proper
amount Of rice brandy that should be
used in spiking a lemonade. That
wisest Of rulers promptly replied: The
big stick! Speak softly if thou canst
but carry the Big Stick"
However, some find themselves I'M
able to speak softly if they carry many
big sticks Rice brandy is no pap for
babes and weaklings," added DR.. Bull
Con Tok.
But here is a still more remarka-
BILE coincidence. In the latter part
of the eighteenth century there was
much discussion over what was known
in China as the rate bill, growing out
Of agitation over coOlie charges for
packing freight. There arising dis
pute between the emperor and certain
Of the elder statesmen, some Of the
statesman so far forgot the respect
due their prince as to intimate that
there was liar loose in the imperial
palace. His majesty caused several Of
the disturbers to be boiled alive in Oil
and by other recognized means en-
deavOred to quiet the clamOr.
"At this critical juncture, when the
popularity Of the emperor seemed seri-
ously threatened he suddenly startled
the whole nation by making public the
report of a commission showing that
the great rodent trust had been guilty
Of gross impositions such as substitute
ing beef and pork for rats, adulterat-
ing birdsnest soup with hearth varnish
to give it the much desired mahogany
color and palming off sardine tails for
the genuine canned sharks fins. In
the excitement of the discovery the re-
cent rate bill controversy was entirely
forgotten.
His majesty put the eads of the
rodent trust to death by forcing them
to eat their own doctored products.
Public confidence in the dynasty was
restored and King Hi ended his reign
full Of years and honors.'

The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-01-26
FROM NEIGHBORING M


The following interesting items are
from the Mail, Manhattan's new news
paper:
Two of the sensational leases OF the
camp are the Broncho No. 1 and Mus
tang No. 1. They each embrace 100 oy
900 feet of ground. On Saturday they
were purchased by Judge Hoggatt n
c. F. Knapp for $4,000. -Four and one
half feet of ore has been opened up at
a depth of four feet on both leases.
Average assays of s340 per ton in gold
have been obtained; two and one-half
feet 90 $40, and two feet $500 per ton.
There are % sacks of ore on the dump
that average $3.50 per ton. Some speci-
men samples have been taken from the
dump that go as high as s3O,OOO per
ton. There are about four tons OF ore
on the dump that have not been sacked
and all of it is believed will go just as
HIGH an that which is sacked. A speci-
men piece of rock weighing IL pounds
was taken from the shaft On Broncho
No. 1 lease on Friday afternoon, which
was pronounced to have the finest free
gold showing of any specimen ore Of
its size shown in the camp to date.
Various experts estimate this piece of
rock as going from $4,000 to $4,000
per ton.
DR.. Bowes, who was interested with
Mr.. Kernick on the Jumbo lease of
Goldfeld, out of which nearly $1,000
900 was taken, is e~ndeavoring to buy
an interest.
Charles F. Kapp said that a fence
will be built around the two leases and
an ore house put up. 1t is estimated
that $1,000 worth of specimen rock has
been carried away within the past
three days by sightseers.
Messrs. Davis, Painter and Walker
made a phenomenal strike this week on
the Matte Ethel claim, taking out ore
which they estimate to be worth $15,-
900 to $4,000 a ton.
This strike is of vast Importance, as
not only showing that the borders of
the rich ore zone have not yet been
reached. but it shows that the great
values in the Annie Laurie and other
Golden hill properties cross the Tono-
pah gulch.
The Matte Ethel Is near the David
son wells on the right hand coming
down and parallels the Prairie Dog.
So far as prospecting or work on
leases have been done, the miner in
Manhattan has always been certain IF
his reward.

LONE MOUNTAIN

The Nevada-Alpine is working TWEEN
ty-three miners and the showing in the
mine is better than ever. The new ore
shoots recently opened up are main
tanning their width and values, and
the output of high grade ore continues
on the usual scale. Returns received
this week from a carload Melted $4,000.
J. w. Langley, who visited the prop
erty of the Acknowledgment Wednes-
day, reports good progress in that
promising mine. The drift on the con-
tact on the 90-foot level is out about
100 feet, at which point the ledge is be-
tween s and 9 feet wide, and while the
values are not as high rs heretofore,
yet they are satisfactory. The man
agement expects to intercept the cross
assure within the next so feet and Ok
presses confidence that a big body of
high-grade ore will be developed when
the two lodges unite. -Tonopah Miner.

George Fletcher, an old time Nevada
prospector, passed through Caliente to-
day from Death valley en- route to his
old home in Denver. He brought with
him three sacks Of ore showing chunks
Of free gold, many Of which were the
size of a pea, %imbedded in clear white
quartz showing cubes of brown hema-
tite Of iron. he states that he has a
2-foot vein of quartz going $345 per
ton in free gold and believes that his
strike is the richest, not even except
ing the tabled lodges of "Scotty,n in
the death hole. He has located four
claims and expects to return next
month fully equipped for a six months
job at taking out and sacking this
golden treasure.
Mr.. Wister and G.. F. Kale of Cripple
Creek purchased Grant and LOOMS
group of claims southwest from
Caliente this week for $500 and will
erect a ten stamp mill on the proper
ties as soon as the weather permits
Caliente Express.

SILVER BOW

The recent sensational developments
in the Blue Horse claim is once more
attracting the attention of mining men
to the Silver Bow district. A number
of competent and conservative miners
who have inspected the Blue Horse
ronounc it a splendid property, and
if the present values are maintained at
depth it will make one of the best
mines in the country. Regular ship
ments are being made to Goldfeld, and
it is reliably reported that the values
average $500 a ton, one shipment CIV
ing net returns of 500 a ton. The
ledge, which measured 3K feet at the
surface, has widened out to Az feet in
the bottom of the shaft, which is down
rs feet. The rich ore comes from a 10
inch streak on the hanging wall, the
remainder of the ledge carrying good
milling values.
A number of leases have been let on
the Blazier property, which is situated
about a mile from the Blue Horse,
across the canon.
4 Chicago company is operating a
group of claims near Breen's ranch,
two and a half miles from Silver Bow.
Two shafts are being sunk under a
contract which calls for a depth of 200
feet, and both shafts are down about
so feet.-Tonopah Miner.

FUNERAL RANGE

Humboldt Gates, the well known
miner, has just returned from the Fun
eral range and this morning talked
about the mines in that district, says
the Journal of Commerce.
"The Funeral range is destined to
be one of the great mining districts Of
Southern Nevada said Mr.. Gates,
'fand there is an immense body of high
grade free milling ore there. The ore
shows right on the surface and the
length and width Ear be measured
without much digging. There are three
districts in this country, the Grape
vine district, the Funeral range district
and the Echo canon district. Though
the ore does not carry sensational
values, there is a lot of it and could be
milled for about Sc or 81 in Death
Valley. A tramway could be built into
the valley, as there is a fall of about
$500 feet to a mile. After the railroad
crosses Death valley into Bullfrog it
will be only about 20 miles from where
the tramway would end and the team
ing would not be difficult, as good
roads can easily be built. There is
plenty of water to be had in Death
valley and the fuel question need not
bother the miners. Several mills are
talked of, but how soon they will be
built is hard to say.
"The Echo canon district is owned
largely by Levitt and Hicks and here
a body of $25 free milling ore was dis
covered that measured at least 20 feet
square. The Keane Wonder property,
near the Hicks and Levitt, shows some
very high grade milling ore which can
be treated at a good profit.
"This district is near the borax
mines of F. M. CBorax') Smith and
this will assure the district early
transportation, as Mr.. Smith is now
building a railroad across Ash Mead
ows that will have a spur to these
mines.O

GOLDEN ARROW

About twenty men are at work in the
Golden Arrow district and encouraging
reports are being received from the
principal properties, says the Tono-
pah Miner. Arrangements are about
completed for the resumption of devel-
opment work on the Cotter group, and
it is probable that operations will be
under way by the first of February.
Negotiations are also pending for the
taking over of two or three other prop
critics in the district, and the outlook
for Golden Arrow is very encouraging.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-01-26

Latest advices from Goldyke indicate
that there is renewed activity in that
promising district and that a large
number Of properties viii be operated
ON an extensive scale this spring, says
the Tonopah Miner.
The Griggs Atwood Mining company
has begun development work with a
force of ten men. While awaiting the
arrival of the new hoist, timber, tools,
and other supplies from Nina, the
miners have been busy taking out the
first shipment of ore, which went for
ward yesterday. The consignment
which consisted of ten tons, is esti-
mated, from numerous assays, to run
close to 5000 a ton A number OF as
SAYS showed values as high as s4oO a
ton. AS soon as the hoist is installed
sinking will be resumed, and it is the
intention to push the shaft down 10
the 40o-foot level as rapidly as possible.
The Rochester group, which adJoins
the Griggs-Atwood property, is look
ing well. This shaft is in good ore,
but will be sunk to the 10O-foot point
before prosecuting.
Everett and Dugan also own the
Gold Crown group. They have re-
Gently installed a within and the shaft
is now down IT'S feet. The ledge Is
about 80 feet wide and contains a pay
streak 6 feet in width that gives assays
running as high as $500 and $500 a ton.
The ore bin now contains about fifteen
tons of this high grade ore, and a car
load will be shipped in the near future.
The Lone Star group is developing
into one of the best properties In the
district. A within has been installed
and prosecuting on the 100 level is
now in progress. They have about Il
feet to 90 to intersect the 14-foot ledge,
which at the 5O-foot level shows 4 feet
Of 800 ore.
The Contact group is being worked
by ~leasers, who have opened up a o-foot
vein which carries shipping values.
