REMARKABLE FIND
ON The DESERT
STONE HAMMER SUCH A. rHE
ANCIHNTs USED To
SWING.

We never can tell what this desert
Is going to produce. or how close We
are TO the great unknown. or how
close up 10 the antiquities. Mr.. s.
n. Bradford, mining man and engin-
Ger, rarely goes out on a trip with
his team without returning with
some sort of curiosity. He has Just
returned from Silver Peak, and IN
the sand hills. eight or ten miles he
low that camp, he picked up stone
hammer, such as the ancients were
used TO swing. Its antiquity was
shown by the fact that there were no
grooves wherein to stick a handle.
| Dut there are the marks of the
thongs. or whatever were employed
to make the handle hold. The ends
are round, showing that there had
been considerable knocking done in
the usefulness of the hammer.
Mr.. Bradford also brought in with
him lavender-colored whisky flask,
which had once been white. He
picked 1t up on the desert, where it
had lain maybe for a year or two.
and it demonstrates to Mr.. Bradford.

that the sun colors glass most ex-.
quisitely. Sometime ago he brought

ford has presented the hammer and
the flask to his daughter, who is
a good engineer herself.
We used to wonder" said he sat
the manner in which the ancients
colored their glass, and we have
never been able to discover the pro-
cess used by them. But this. per-
maps, explains 1t. The sun was their
coloring agent. That the flask that
l brought in, once was white is shown
by the fact that the neck of it about
which was fitted metal cap, was
still white. 1t is curious phenom-
enon, but it looks as If we might have
captured one of the secrets of the
ancients.'
Mr.. Bradford had another queer
experience on his trip. On Monday |
night he met COW, a pretty COW.
and mich COW. She was red ALL
over, with white star on her face
and white splash on her nose. This
was about fifteen miles this side of
Silver Peak, and on the following
morning he saw her tracks ten miles
nearer to Tonopah.
The moral of this must be that this
COW, the naughty runaway, was
brought here from California, and in
the sagebrush hills she pinned for the
fields of green iN far away Califor-
MIA, and so started for home, new
ing, mewing all the way. Someone
In Tonopah has lost valuable COW.

Ely a Marvel of Energy.

From mere hamlet to a city of size
and commercial Importance, almost
within year, is the history OF Ely. in
White Pine county, Nevada.
And STILL this remarkable progress
has not been of mushroom growth. for
all of the improvements made, all of
the buildings erected, are of the most
substantial character, and the aim
with all has been permanency; the
permanency that great low-gradc
copper camp always promises, and al
ways fulfills.
Ely was a thriving and progressive
camp before the advent of the Nevada
Northern railroad; since then it has
grown wonderfully, and yet this
growth is as nothing compared TO what
will take place there as soon as the
great reduction and smelling plants Of
the Nevada Consolidated, the mills and
smelter of the Giroux Consolidated. are
completed and in commission; nothing
to the wonderful change which will
take place when the scores of other
mining enterprises in this section are
on the regular producing list.
Ely has been marvel, wonder, in
the past eighteen months-a brief Pc

New Discovery in Nevada.

Round Mountain, Nev.-Visitors to
the property of the Round Mountain
Sphinx Mining Company have been
treated to somewhat unusual and en-
tirely remarkable sight.
In an open cut forty feet long and
averaging five feet in depth hanging
wall has been exposed the entire dis
tance. For fully ten feet along the
entire depth particles of free gold are
seen, it is said, in such profusion as to
give the appearance of having been
plastered on with a trowel.
This new discovery is situated about
800 feet east and up the hill from the
Sphinx main shaft. The vein runs
east and west with a westerly dip,
standing at an angle Of about eighty
one degrees. The rich gold seam is a
fissure about two inches wide, in the
volcanic rhyolite. The vein has been
stripped distance Of forty feet and in
some places as deep as ten feet. A

Schwab An Enthusiast.

am an absolute enthusiast on the
mineral possibilities of Nevada. The
showings this year in the gold camps
of that state have been far in advance
of what the most optimistic OF us ex-
pected. ! look for a new era in the
mining industry of Nevada, and believe
that for the next two years mining op-
erations of the most profitable charac-
ter will be carried on in the newly-dis-
covered bonanza camps Of that state.
When we stop for an instant to real
ize that all of these large mine earn
ings and mine developments in these
new camps have been the result OF less
than three years work one begins TO
appreciate the valuable character OF
the territory located there.
In addition, do not believe that this
era of mine activity will be limited to
Nevada. but will follow along the en-
tire western belt. The East has been
slow to realize the possibilities of the
western mines when properly man
aged, but earnings have told the story
quicker than any other amount of per-
suasion-Charles NJ. Schwab, In New

Indian Reservation Shows Good.

Nina, Nev.-Reports from the Indian
reservation indicate that the district is
going to have one of the greatest min
ing developments in the state during
the season. In the neighborhood of
Schurz important copper strikes have
been made and in the southern part,
about Cottonwood creek, some phe-
nomenal strikes Of gold have been
made.
The gold finds appear to be confined
to the southern part of the district,
about Dutch and Cottonwood creeks.
Although the properties there are in
the early stages of development some
great strikes have been made. This
ic especially true on the Wild Horse
property, where assays of the ore run
from s21 to s37 800, it is claimed This
latter assay is from a streak in the
main ledge and there are signs OF per-
manency. The company is already pre-
pairing to develop the property on
greater scale than ever before, and be-
fore next fall the indications are there
will be one Of the producing mines OF
the state on Cottonwood creek.

Sleep and Old Aqe.

There is no question that the
quantity of sleep required steadily dim
inishes from infancy to old age. This
is a rather interesting exception to
the general rule that, as in so many
matters. old age returns to the needs
OF infancy. AS regards sleep, says
London Pail Mall Gazette, old age is
more remote in its needs from infancy
than is any other period of life. If
elderly people obtain good sleep dur.
ing the first few hours, and if they
have not lost that delight in reading
which we all had in youth, but which
SO many of us curiously lose, their
case is not to be grieved over. The
special value of the earliest hours of
sleep. by the way, has been proved by
psychological experiment. The popu.
lar phrase beauty sleep" is well war.

hours OF sleep that make for health

Oil Refinery at Boulder.

Boulder, Colo.-The Boulder Oil Re-
fining Company has purchased supplies
necessary to erect large oil refinery
just east of Boulder. The company has
invested $4,000. The plant will be un-
der the management of ID. b. Burton,
an expert refiner of Denver. The COM
pany will devote especial attention to
the manufacture of by-products OF the
oil found here.
No little stir was created when the
news of this was first told in Boulder.
as 1t was reported that the object was
to lay out town, incorporate it and
then issue saloon licenses. When It be-
came known that men like former
Secretary of State Cowie were inter-
ested in the move this rumor was
quickly set at rest.

Camels. the old ships of the desert,
will soon give way to the new ships
of the desert, automobiles. The sue
cession, like that of steam greyhounds
to clipper-ships at sea, has to meet
prejudice and conservative habit, but
the conquest by the automobile of
the sand wastes Of Nevada is an ac-
complished fact. Here, to be sure. it
was not the camel, but the burro and
the stage coach that had to yield.
Under the heavy cars the sand hard.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-"The Gug-

600 during the last few months in ac-
quiring placer properties on the Hun
ker and Eldorado creeks, near Dawson
City, and many other large capitalists
are following suit" said l. j. Hartman,
postmaster of Dawson, who is in the

back to Dawson from Toronto, where
he spent the winter. Mr.. Hartman eX-

alaska and the Klondike have pro-
duced $150,000,000 in gold in the last
nine years." said Mr.. Hartman, "and
yet the country has not been more
than scratched. The mining business is
changing from the work of individual
miners to that of large companies and
as result the next few years will see
the gold production of the country
greater than ever. Capitalists like the
Guggenheims are taking up the placer
proposition and working the ground
with steam and electric dredges, which
can operate all winter. The profits
from this mode of placering have been
enormous and yet there are hundreds
of creeks that have never been touched
but which are, known to be splendid
placer propositions. A large company
has recently been organized in New
York to treat the huge beds of gravel
close to Dawson which are known to
carry values of from $1.50 to $3.50 per
cubic yard and which can be easily
worked for about so cents a yard.
There are literally mountains of this
gravel, and the results of the new COM
pany's operations will be watched with
great interest,"
Mr.. Hartman was formerly well
known in this state, having been for
four years acting postmaster at Gun
nison during the absence of his
brother.

Even the wolves are enjoying the
present era of prosperity. The gov
ernment has issued bulletin in
which is shown the flourishing condi-
ton of the coyotes on the western
cattle ranges and of the larger wolves
known as "loafers," or "lobos." The
natural food of these beasts of prey
was the buffalo, but they find cattle
and horses satisfactory substitute.
Cattle are preferred; not that the
wolves have any prejudice against
eating horse-flesh, but because the old
method of attack from the rear,
which they practised on the buffalo,
is equally successful with range
steers. When they try it on horses,
however, they meet with a painful
surprise. How serious is the pest of
wolves, remarks Youths Companion,
may be gathered from the fact that
wyoming alone has paid out $65 1000
In bounties in the last ten years, and
this makes no account of the sums
paid by counties and stockmen's as.
sociations. The cattlemen reckon
their losses to be about ten per cent.
Of the herds. Great organized neigh
borhood wolf-hunts on the western
ranges have been advertised all over
