NEW HUNCH CAUSE
OF RICH DISCOVERY

A strike has been made at Silver
Bow camp on the Catlin Mining COM
pany's property, according to word
from there. The ore was caught in
a tunnel run to crosscut a ledge at
seventy feet and ten feet of ore has
been opened up which averages, ac-
cording to reports, SIS in silver and
gold, and two feet of the ledge car
ries values of $3.50. The property
was that located by Prince Catlin of
this city several years ago and dis
posed of by him to John Gregovich,
Bert l.. Smith and c. d. Porter.
When Catlin disposed of the property
he and his brother, NJ. L. Catlin, of
this city, kept block of the stock.
The strike in this property illus
trates perfectly feature of mining
that makes the business so fascinat-
ing-the happening of the unexpect-
ed. Late last fall Bert l.. Smith and
C. ID. Porter We're Strengthening out
their affairs and cleaning up their
desks in their Tonopah office. Stock
market conditions were all awry and
they had scented dull times ahead
They vowed not to put another dollar
into anything until conditions chang
ed, when the door opened and tall
angular man stepped inside and
asked for Mr.. Smith. His name was
John Gregovich. He stated that he
had secured a call on fine looking
property at Silver Bow. He exhibit
ed samples of the ore and urged Mr.
Smith, whom he had known before
to go in with him and buy the ground
The result of the conference was
that both Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Porter
went back on their resolve and, with
o. J. Smith. Bert L. Smiths brother
they Joined Gregovich in the purchase
of the ground and organized the Cat

MINES
MANHATTAN WILL
HAVE BIG MILL
ERECTION OF FIFTY TON Gus
TOM PLANT TO BE BE-
GUN SOON.

Manhattan is given assurance of
another mill. Fred Chapman. who
built the grist mill at Round Noun
tain, accompanied by one of his as
sociates, G. +. Moore. arrived in Man
haitian last night and stated that he
would Immediately commence the
erection of a fifty-ton custom mill in
Manhattan. Associated with Mr..
Chapman in this venture are A. II.
Davis and G. f. Moore. The plant
has been ordered through the Salt
Lake branch of the Allis-Chalmers
company of Chicago and ere this
news reaches our readers will be on
its way to Manhattan. 1t is expect
ed to arrive here in thirty days and
without any fuss or feathers will be
erected and got to grinding ore at
the earliest date possible. The site
had not been decided upon last eve
ming, but that point will be settled
this forenoon and a crew of men put
to work either this afternoon or Mon
day morning excavating. The work
will be rushed and everything made
ready for the immediate installation
of the mill upon its arrival.
This mill will be the most modern
reduction plant in the state. 1t is
automatic in every particular from
the ore bins until all values have
been extracted and the tailings are
on the dump. There are several new
features about this mill that will
have a tendency to reduce the cost
of reduction. One is a device by
which there is no loss of quicksilver
and another is a contrivance whereby
95 per cent of the water is saved. The
company will install an electric plant
with a capacity for 100 lights.
The plant will be run as custom
mill and the nagement guarantees
a saving of 90 per cent of the values
The price to be charged for milling
has not vet been settled, but we were
given the assurance that it would be
made just as reasonable as possible
With two mills under construction
and work to commence on another
in few days, Manhattan will in 6
few months be given the long looked
for chance of showing to the world
what her mines are capable of pro
ducing .-Manhattan Times.

MAY FIND TRUCKS
THE RIGHT THING
The Nevada Hills Company Will BE
Willing To Use Autos
If Successful.

1t was learned Tuesday that a rep
resentative of an eastern firm, whose
business is the manufacture of heavy
trucks for freight hauling purposes,
was in the state of Nevada making
an inspection of conditions at or near
Fairview for his company. The pri-
mary purpose of this inspection is to
ascertain if the utilization of heavy
gasoline trucks is possible in bring
ing the ores of the Nevada Hills COM
pany from the mine to the railroad
tracks at Fallon When asked re-
garding this report, Winsor V. Rice,
president of the Nevada Hills COM
pany, stated that he understood this
representative was going over the
Fairview-Fallon roadway, and the
favorable result of this visit is eX-
pected to be the installation of at
least a trial truck for the purpose in
tended.
Mr.. Rice stated that the Nevada
Hills company was negotiating with
several firms for such freignting wag-
ons. The mining company had been
brought to the point where something
had to be done to relieve the trans
portation problems. While in New
York he saw innumerable heavy auto
trucks moving along with great loads
of freight. and the idea struck him
that the same machine could be util-
lied by the Nevada Hills company.
All who have travelled the road into
Fairyiew will agree with Mr. Rice
that there are very few places in the
same where any work will be neces-
sary in order to enable heavy auto
trucks to make progress with a. load
The Nevada Hills company how
ever. does not desire to eXpend a
great many thousand dollars in
bring ing several trucks to Nevada I'M
til the feasibility of the plan has been
demonstrated. Mr.. Rice feels that
the trucks will be a success in the
sagebrush states deserts, and should
they turn out to be such, he is well
enough acquainted with Nevada
transportation conditions generally to
realize that there will be at least &
hundred such trucks in use in Ne
yada as soon as the manufacturers
can get the machines to that state
Mr. Rice now feels that they vii
solve the problems now confronting
the mine owner who has a shipping
proposition on his hands at so grea
distance from the railroad track!
that it is impossible to send the ore
| into the markets.
For many months past the Neyad;
Hills company has found itself in thi
very predicament Teams were diff
ficult to secure, and the ore bins
dumps and the various workings il
the property were so congested will
shipping rock that development worl
was found almost an impossible mat
ter except on much smaller seal
than equal to the ambition of TIL
management This organization
therefore, will be among the first, i
not the first in the state, to adopt TIL
auto trucks for ore hauling. Thos
who know the subject do not doub
that the trucks will be a complete
success

Man and His Dress.

The well dressed man wears
clothes that no one ever notices; at
business, except in the very warmest
weather usually dark. No one ever
notices clean linen, while linen soiled
ever so slightly is very conspicuous
No one ever notices a hat unless it
is of ultra shape, dirty or shabby. No
one ever notices clean finger nails,
while those needing attention are
always conspicuous. The man should
not be lost sight of by the conspicu-
BUSINESS of his clothes, either from
being overdressed or shabbily dressed

Hanged The Wrong Brother.

Two brothers named Jan and Jan
Karol Niewiadoniski were confined
in Warsaw prison, the former being
sentenced to three months impris-
onment for political offense and the
latter to death for robbery with vio-
lence.
One day the political prisoner was
led out, and, in spite of his protests,
hanged, instead Of his brother. The
mistake was discovered a few hours
after, and the governor has now COM
muted the death sentence of the SUR
viving brother to one OF eight months
imprisonment.-Daily Mail.

MINING ITEMS.

There is an enormous quantity of
timber used annually in the mines
of this country. Some of the large
mines are vast consumers, and in
northern Michigan in the copper
mines is where more timber is for
ever sunk from sight than in any
other place in the world. Here the
Calumet & Hecla copper mine is said
to consume no less than 100000
feet of lumber year, and its neigh
Dor, the Tamarack mine, more than
IS 100000 feet.
In the manufacture of copperas
from iron pyrite ores. the ore is brok-
en- into small fragments and placed
in piles over which water is made
to slowly drip. Natural oxidation
occurs, wherein the sulphur is trans
formed into hydrated sulphate.
This being soluble runs off as solu-
ton in the water, which is collected
and evaporated that the salt may be
obtained Copperas is used in max
ing articles for dyeing, inks, wood
personalities, and as disinfectants
and fertilizers.

A few pieces of ore cannot be an av-
erage of an ore body, except by
chance. Most people know this, but
those who take samples for assay
frequently do not think of it.

The principal manganese ores are
hausmannite, braunite, pyrolusite,
psilomelane, mangamite and frank
Unite. Pyrolusite and psilomelane
are the more plentiful of manganese
ores. Manganese and its compounds
are used in number of ways in al
Toys, in oxides and in coloring paints
and porcelain.
