Rich Strike on Dry
Susie, near ElkO,
and Another
Strike Made
Near Car
lin.

Almost within stones throw
of Elko another gold discovery has
been made and mining fever is
again running high. Several days
ago returns from an assay were re-
ceived from rock taken from a
ledge on Dry Susie about eight
miles west of Elko, which revealed
values running better than twenty
dollars in gold and eight per cent
in copper, and for the past several
days a number of Lrospectors were
seen leaving Elko early in the
morning and returning late in the
evening.-Free Press.
The Independent of last Friday
says considerable excitement is re-
ported In Carlin over rich gold
strike north of Simon's creek,
about IT miles north of Carlin.
The discovery WAS made sometime
last week by Joe Linn. George
Arthur, who lives in Carlin, dazzled
the eyes of many Elkoites yester-
day with three nuggets said to
have been taken from a few hands
full of dirt from the new find.

The Railroad Men
Win.

The Order of Railway Conduct.
ors and Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen have settled their diff
culties with the railroads. The
original demands of the men were
for an increase of IL per cent and
for working day of nine hours.
The railroads offered an increase
of 10 per cent and declined to give
nine hour day.
The result of the controversy is
an agreement which goes into eff
feet from April l, as follows:
The pay of conductors in the
passenger service to be increased
$40 month, that of baggagenen
$3.50 q month and that of fagmen
and brakemen $500 month as ap-
piled to the schedules in effect
April l, 1905.
The railroads are not to make
any reduction in crews or increase
in mileage for the purpose of Off
setting the increased wages given
the passenger train men.
Overtime in the passenger SER
vice is to be allowed on the basis
of fifteen miles per hour, to be CON-
puted for each part of the run sub
sequently. Time is to begin at the
scheduled time of leaving. Roads
on a basis of more than ten hours
for day for helper or construct
ion train service are to make no
increase in the rates paid for such
service.
The increase granted in the
agreement is to apply also to rates
for special services as specified in
the individual schedule. Upon
roads having a better basis for a
days work, or for payment of over
time or other allowances, in all
branches of train service, the ac-
ceptance of this agreement is not
to act as a reduction.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen were also granted by the
railroads an increase of 10 per
cent.

A Scathing Report.

The report of the Eureka county
grand jury is very interesting
document. Scarcely an evil of
any kind escaped the denuncia-
ton of the jury. They score the
officers for their laxity and neglect
in enforcing the laws. The only
officer in the county that is COM
mended by the jury is the county
auditor. Every other official that
came under the scrutiny of the
jury is censured more or less.
The committee on public morals
and public nuisances found the
morals of the town of Eureka in
very bad shape. They say that
vagrants, commonly called pimps,
are permitted to ply their infam-
Gus vocation in Eureka through
the negligence OF the officers whose
duty it is to enforce the laws.
They severely censure the Sheriff
and Constable for the lax, incom-
petent and grossly negligent way
in which the vagrancy laws have
been enforced in the past.

Mr. Copley says there is some distance
to go in the lower tunnel before that side
of the ledge has been reached.
The Inlay. Mr.. Copley states. is surely
developing into a big mine, and he is
sanguine that Nevada Humboldt ground
is going to turn out just as well with
development.

WHY COPPER BUYING
is NOW AT LOW EBB

George w. Roter believes that copper
is going TO come out all right in the
shake-doWn that is now going on. he
saws that practically 60 per cent of the
copper metal produced in this country
is handled and marketed through the
Tinted Metals Selling company; that the
remaining 40 per cent is not long going
to meet the requirements OF MAUI Iiao ido e
turers who have been steering clear OF
that source of supply as best they could
For the mast six months or more
Manufa ctIlrers hold the selling com
many largely responsible for putting up
the price on them, and when they finally
m,it hnving they trusted their agents to
meet their spot demands through the
purchases of copper junk and Independent
sources By the closing of mines and
otherwise greatly reducing the source or
supply of the metal. 1t is hoped to force
the issue with manufacturers in the
near future as the present available
sources are hardly equal to what the
demand was ten or fifteen years ago. III
the manufa cturers are strong enough 10
hold out longer than the Metals Selling
COMPANY and its allies they rHay dictate
the price. On tire other hand, the Metals
Selling company is said to be deslrous
of getting the manufacturers where they

When they do that, Mr.. Ritter says the
situation will clear up The Metals Sell

sonabIe price for long term contracts ana
that price, he believes. Will be close %
I6c one way or the other. Mr.. Ritter has
first-cIass sources of information and he
figures, from what he can learn through
these sources that the business will be
settled early in the new year, possibly
before, but not later than February.

Ramsey-Ophir Strike.

Rich sulphide ore below water level has
Deen struck at another point on the great
Ramsey-ComstOck ledge. This time the
Ramsey-Ophir mine. adjoining the Com
stock. is the scene Of the strike. and It
looks as though a little more development
would put the property right into the
shipping class. The strike is regarded az
one Of the most important that has ever
occurred in the district. as 1t proves the
existence of high-grade sulphide ores
in the ledge for great distance. Several
feet is uncovered, averaging SIS in gold.
At the Gold Center mine the shaft Is
down over fifty feet on the main ledge.
The twelve-inch vein encountered near
the hanging wall has widened until 1t Is
almost across the shaft. The paintings
obtained from the ore are better than
ever, and there seems great likelihood of
bonanza strike by the time water level
is reached.
The strike made at the Ramsey-Bonan-
"a mines last week has developed a five
foot ledge of ore. from which some very
rich paintings are being made. The find
was made in a new tunnel being cut to
connect with the main shaft, and is a
blind ledge. Further development of the
strike will be made at once. Three very
distinct lodges will be cut at depth with
the tunnel. and because high surface val
ues are proven to exist. some rich strikes
will doubtless be made.
