vision be made in the Commissioners esti-
mates to Congress for the grading. curb
ing and laying OF sidewalks on Brothers
place. 1t was also reported to the asso-

Secretary Sirich stated to the members
that he had forwarded to the Commits
sioners map of the public school res

what point and just how much room it
was desired to erect a public waiting
station. President o. A. Emmons re-

Gem Deposits in Maine.
From the Kennebec Journal

From the kennebec Journal.
Another great pocket OF rich gems has
been found near Mount Apatite, in Au-
burn. The discovery was made on the
farm Of Pitt Pulsifer. this being the sec
ond one within two years. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Pulsifer struck a
rich pocket on his place some two or
three years ago, and the tourmaline. berry,
and apatite crystals We're sold to Harvard
University. Last Thursday a still richer
pocket was broken into and a wonderful
deposit of apatite beryl and aquamarine
gems taken out. This is by far the finest
lot of gems ever taken from one pocket In
that region. Some boys on the old Ste
vens and Greenlaw place also discovered
rich pocket of beryl and aquama rine
a few days ago. The beryl was of the
vtreous and queen variety and very va
liable. At the base of the beryl was found
some splendid herderite specimens 1t is
strange that a company is not formed
to work Mount Apatite in scientific and
systematic manner. All the finds thus
far have been more by accident than 9th
erwise. 1t Is generally believed that
Mount Apatite is mountain of gems ard
that some Of the finest deposits in tn.
word are there.

from f3 to E40 or more, according to
size. These rat-size dogs would bring a
good priNa. The probability is they will
not have pretty fur. and If their tails are
like those of rats ladies will not like
them. Another point against them is that
they feed on lizards and ground vermin.
We could probably train them to other

A School Coinage.


1t Is not generally known fact that the
Bluecoat School (Christ's HospitaD once
possessed a coinage of its own. At that
time the coin of the realm could not be

This was made of copper. the coins be-

stamped on them. These curious coins
are now very rare. and numismatists pos

Fred Flindt of the Mason Valley Cop

a visit to New York and Salt Lake.
W C OTem. one Of the principal own
ers of the Nevada-Douglas mine was an
arrival from Salt Lake Thursday and pro-
ceeded up to the mine next day. He will
probably remain here until the electric
power is installed at the mine.
Fourteen gasoline hoists and a couple
of pumping plants have been ordered by
that many different mining companies of
Buckskin and they will all be in operation
before the summer is over. Some of them
are already in operation and a couple
more will be doing duty next week.
During the week the Electric Light &,
Power company has had men at work
erecting poles between the town and the
Nevada-Douglas mine, and this work will
be completed next week. The juice will
be on for power and light inside of two

metropolitan to have 1t lit up with cleo
trio lights and those who are using gasO-
line engines will be glad to discard them
for motors.
Colonel O. P. POsey. John Manon and
John Searles of GoIdfield and other

first of the week in q large desert tour

other properties here during their stay,

PITTSBURG- SILVER PEAKS
GOLD MILL AND MINES

Beginning early this fall the largest
and most modern gold reduction plant in
the state and probably in the world will
be in operation at Blair, in the Silver
Peak district, about twenty-five miles
northwest of GOldfield, in EsmeraIda
county. says the Goldfield Chronicle
The stamps will crush a higher grade
of gold bearing rock than any other So
called low-grade mining estate in the
United States. The management of the
Pittsburg-Si Peak company, after
thousands OF tests, is convinced that the
ore which will be run through will aver
age at least SIS ton, and that in a year
265.O00 tons can be handled, with net
value of s5,475.000, and that the cost of
mining and milling will not exceed S. a
ton, which would make the mine the
banner dividend payer Of the continent
in gold mining companies. 1t would
help also to make Esmeralda county the
greatest gold producing county in Amer
lea, and Nevada at the head of the list
of states In gold production.
Silver Peak is on the boom, as well as
the new model town of Blair. where the
big mill OF the Pittsburg- Silver Peak
company is located. This company owns
large acreage, and has millions of tons
of ore blocked out in the famous old
mine called the Drinkwater. that will
run from s. to as high as $50. It is an
ideal amalgamating ore but as other
large ore bodies more refractory have
been opened up on the large acreage
owned by the company, cyaniding and
concentration will be used. The company
has in course of erection a 10O-stamp mill
and recently it was decided to double
the capacity. For this purpose $4,000
was subscribed by the principal share
holders, and stock taken I'm payment at

NEW MINES FOR
BINGHAM CAMP
Bingham Copper Company
Ready to Tear Open
Known Ore Deposits.
COMPRESSOR is INSTALLED
SURFACE IMPROVEMENTS NEAR
LY ALL COMPLETED.

The new compressor at the Bingham
Copper cOmpany's property is now being
anchored TO it's foundations, and it will
be only a short time until power drills
supersede the armstrong method of
breaking ground in the tunnel being
driven to develop the company's mines at
depth. The power house, blacksmith shop,
board and lodging house and other build
lngS are in course of construction, and by
the end of the present month the COM
pany will be fully equipped for the fu-
ture.
The tunnel is being driven on the great
contact between quartZlte and lime that
traverses a great portion of the companys
ground from the May Queen south and,
while nothing out of the ordinary is eS-
pected until the Green Grove claim is
reached 400 feet ahead, occasional punches
of fine ore are now being encountered.
All the way from the May Queen on the
nOrtheasterly limits of the property, to
the Bald Eagle, now the Diamond, on the
south end of the cOmpany's Venice group,
there is blowout after blowout of ore and
general naturalization for the nearly 1900
feet.
In the Green Grove the first of these
great shoots Of ore will be encountered.
and during the fall months the company
expects to be in the shipping lists to stay.
After leaving Green Grove ground, the
tunnel will enter the Venice and here
other fine bodies of ore mined near the
surface in the early days of the camp,
will be encountered. on the southeriy
end of this ground and humping up
against the lines of the Utah Consolidated.
is the Diamond, or old Bald Eagle ground.
from which II. NJ. Eakin, formerly super
intendent of the May Day. at Tintic,
mined a great deal of fine ore and which
has never been explored to any consid-
cradle depth.
As matter of fact the Bingham Cop
per company's ground is considered by +.
W. Clark, manager of Senator ". A.
Clarks Ophir Hill properties. one of the
best pieces of properties in the Bingham
camp. SO good that he became one of the
biggest men in the company when it
came to the requirement of the territory
and the organization of the company.
All and any lodges that may and which
do traverse the Phoenix, Utah-ApeX,
Bingham Mary groups of claims, certain

ground. as well. and one after another
these Lodges. some carrying gold, silver
and lead and some carrying copper. will
be opened in the regular course of deveI-
opment of the Bingham Copper company,
which is one of the Cleanest cut and
nicely financed propositions of the past
six months.
