HEAVY ORE SHIPMENTS.

More ore has gone out from Won
der to the smelters this week than
any previous week in the history of
the district. From the upper work.
ings on the Nevada Wonder, about
sixteen tons have been shipped with
in the last few days. The average
value of this ore is said to run close
to $500 a ton. From a third to a
half the values are in gold. About
100 sacks a day of this remarkably
high grade are being made ready for
shipment, and there are now nearly
thousand sacks awaiting the tardy
arrival of the freight teams.
The weeks record of shipments
from the Jack Pot was thirteen tons
up to Friday. At this time General
Manager Harris was momentarily ex-
pecting the wagons upon which he
hoped to ship ten tons more before

value crowds close upon 1876 to the
ton. This ore is being taken mainly
from the drifts on the 200 and 800
foot levels. The present shaft will
be sunk no farther, prospecting be-
ing now in progress to determine the
best site for the permanent shaft,
which will have two compartments,
and will be SO timbered as to permit
the easy addition of third COM
partment. The 50-horsepower en-
CINE and hoist will be installed on
this shaft.
From the Vulture ten tons OF ore
have been sent out this week. The
shipments from this property, as
from the others, are greatly hamper
ed by the lack of teams. If the team
ing facilities had been adequate the
weeks shipments from the Vulture
would have totaled twenty-five tons.
A carload of Vulture ore is now at
the railroad terminus at Fallon, and
is to be sent on to the smelter i'm
mediately. It is announced that the
first shipment from the Ruby will be
| made in few days

NO Such PLACE
AS MANHATTAN
WELL KNOWN BROKER AND
PROMOTER ON FUTURE
OF CAMP.

One OF the men who has stood
by Manhattan from start to finish is
e. Il. Mayne, the well known broker
and promoter of the camp. Mr..
Mayne is as confident of the future
of the camp today as he was when he
first went there; the outlook is bet
ter from all view points, according
to his judgment He is financier of
no mean standing, and his abilities
in that line have been amply tested
in the metropolitan cities, but for the
present there is no place that appeals
to him as does Manhattan.
They cannot keep the camp
down, said Mr. Mayne, yesterday.
1T has long since passed the stage
of development, and will force itself
to the front on its own merits. We
have the ore, and now we have the
mills to convert the ore into money.
And now that we have one of the
mills in operation, we are finding the
richest kind of high grade. We have
made no mistake, however, in put
ting up the mills, for Manhattan is
high grade milling camp"

The most remarkable record about
the whole mine is that maintained by

ground, has been employed at this
point for several months, until a
depth of 140 feet has been obtained,
making total depth of $50 feet on
the ore shoot at this point, the great
est depth so far reached. This winze
has passed thorugh solid ore body
all the way, the width varying from
to IA feet at intervals, and the
great shipping values being every
where present. Notwithstanding the
series of faults encountered, the con-
tinuity of the vein has been proved
to exceed 1000 feet, so that every
foot of depth in this winze blocks
out values that run into astonishing
ngures; from the knowledge we have
OF the mine to the present date, it is
conservative to state that every foot
of depth in this winze proves up $50

ing of milling values.
Nevada Hills is now working 90
men. the largest pay roll in its his

the fact that the main working shaft
taken over from the leasing company
is working full blast, and great pro-
duction is being maintained at that
point. With railroad to Fallon the
working force of the mine would cas-
lily total ESQ and possibly $50. The
mine is, now equipped with big

In the shaft showing the bonanza
copper-gold rock workmen have
opened twofoot vein that dips into
the 50-foOt ledge to the north. and
which. Il is believed. leads to the big
ore body below. The shaft Is being
sent down on an incline following
the vein. and Il Is during the pro-
gress OF this work that the shipment
of ore is coming to the surface. AL
ready some ten tons of rock is on the
dump, and contract has been let to
Tom Dean to pack it by burro train
to the Searchlight road, where Sher-
wood and Boyers will haul 1t to the
Santa Fe railroad. This ore will
average about $50 per ton.
Superintendent Mclaughlin, in
starting his working shaft, estimated
that he would cut the vein at about
100 feet, but at depth of something
like fifty feet heavily stained copper
rock appeared. and the entire shaft
is now penetrating this mineral,
which is of moderate grade of rich
ness
During these developments Mr..
Mclaughlin has been assisted by Mr..
Charles B. Hebron, whose reputation
as a geologist is international. Mr..
Hebron has made careful study of
the territory, and is now in Santa
Barbara, where he went to make his
report to President Allison and as
sociates.
To News representative Mr.. He
bron consented to give out a short
summary of what his report would
be, and it is fiattering in the extreme,
not only to this entire mineral sec
ton, but to the Shandon Bells in
particular
Il find the veins large and we'll
mineralized, said Mr.. Hebron, "and
there is room in the immense lodges
for untold mineral bodies. From
what | have seen on the surface, and
from superficial examination of the
entire group, I should say that this
property gives promise of developing
into one of the biggest in Nevada. 1t
will take depth to make mine; it
always does; and | would advise
sinking at least 500 feet Immediately.
There need be no fear as to the per-
manency of the lodges, for they are
of great size and appear assures. OF
course one can Judge only ore show
ing in the workings; after that min
ing is conducted on gamble with
geology. With the geological condi-
lions favorable and shipping ore in
sight the prospects are very bright.
Il am very favorably impressed
with what country / have seen here
abouts, and it would appear that the
true mineral zone is immense in di-
mansions.
The ore | have seen in the Shan
don Bells is a chalcopyrite showing
considerable bornite, or peacock cop
per, and is surrounded by exception
ally favorable conditions"
In his report to the company Mr..
Hebron covers the geological field ex-
haustively and comprehensively and
his work will be great boon to the
mining industry in the immediate
vicinity of upper Eldorado canyon

10000 Motors Are Built Monthly.

While the actual history of cleo
trical power dates back to 1884, the
year Thomas Davenport, the self
taught Vermont blacksmith, discov-
cred the electric motor, the actual
development of the power has been
since 1880. The greatest growth in
this industry has been since during
the past fifteen years and each year
sees a greater increase in the bust
ness of manufacturing electric mo-
tors until now it is estima ted that
fully 10000 electric motors are turn
ed out every month by the General
Electric company and other large
electrical manufacturing concerns.
Since 1870 all power has increased
wonderfully in this country. The
greatest actnal and relative increase
occurred between 1890 and 1900.
Steam increased III per cent; gas,
1859; water, 15.9; electricity,
1884 (the greatest increase,) other
power 944.S per cent.
The use of electrical current for
the transmission of power has been
one of the most noticeable fea-
lures in the development OF
manufacturing. In 1890 the United
States census reported 1865 horse
power. The census of 1905 showed
that this class of power amounted to
1,13S, 2Os horse power. The totals o.
other classes of power were given
for 1905 as follows:
Steam, 10 664, $50; gas, $780, 14;
water, 1,64S,9 1863; other power, 81, 7S9;
rented, $50, 905. From 1900 to 1905
steam power increased only 81 per
cent; gas power, ia; water power,
1873; electricity, 1864; other power,
80 s; rented power, 9S.l.
Mechanical power of some kind |
was used in 134, $50, or 622 per cent.
of the establishments included in the |
census of manufacturing in 1905. In
1900 only 33.l per cent. reported |
power. In 1890, 1913 per cent.

featuring concerns are striving, with

Over Six Hundred AffidaVitS Will be Pre-

prosecution having obtained another

E. G. Bryan of the Seventh district,
acting under constitutional pro-
vision, decided not to try the accused
miners, and Judge Fremont Wood of
the Third district was substituted as
trial Judge. This is not pleasing to
the defense, though no prejudice on
the part of Judge Wood is alleged.
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone
we're brought from Boise by Sheriff
Hodgins and two deputies. The de-
PENDANTS were not handcuffed nor

Every Knock A Boost.

From present indications it would
appear that the campaign of the
eastern capitalists in their efforts to
kill the Nevada boom has been un-
successful. Men of influence in the
east, newswriters whose words bear
great weight with the public, have
come out with articles in defense of
Nevada. Their remarks being found
ed on facts and figures. 1t is to these
figures that the state owes its stand
ing at present, and that any editor,
no matter what he was paid for do
ing so, should attempt to controvert
the facts proved by those figures is
almost unbelievable.
The effect of the whole affair has
been to advertise the state as no
amount of boosting could have done
In this instance, at least, the para
dOxical epigram, every knock is a
boost, has proved more than true
The editors who sold their columns
to the men whose aim it was to turn
the tide of investment from Nevada
troued have laid themselves open to
attack on one of two charges. Either
they are so densely ignorant of the
matters which they propose to dis
cuss for the benefit of their readers
that they have lost whatever weight
their words may heretofore have had
with their readers by the gross mis-
representation they have been guilty
of: or they have purposely given
their leaders a raise view of the
situation in the west.
What would be the natural conclu-
sion of the ordinary reader after
having seen for himself that the ar
tiCles derogatory to Nevada were
false? A moments reflection would
show him that the writer's of those
articles had at their disposal all the
facts that were later brought for
ward to prove the tales to be false.
Realizing then, that the writer's were
not guided by facts in making their
attacks upon this state, what would
There is only one thing that he could

forward the reader would never
