THE CIRCUS COM
BINE IS SMASHED
LIVELY SCRAMBLE ON FOR NEXT
SEASON.

The circus trust" has beent
smashed and an old-time circus war
is now on; and the ceaseless quest
has begun for performers with novel
ties and the latter are Just az scarce
as the gold in some old mines. But.
the new things are being hunted dill
gently, and next season the war Will
insure to the benefit OF the public
which is always circus loving.
Under the agreement of the COM
bination which was formed 20 do
away with the strife and competition
the territory was divided and com.
petition eliminated.
But next season, II is said will

one with one board Of directors.
The contest is said TO be over the
ambition 70 be known as Circus
King OF the WorldV with Otto Ring

most likely candidates, with Mr..
Ringing as the favorite.
For the past three years the fol-
lowing circuses have been at peace
under one canvass:

II was James A. Bailey who welded
these six shows together three years
ago and brought peace. Since his
death there has been struggle be-
tween Ringland and MacCaddon,
brothr-in-law OF Bailey, as to which
should step into Bailey's shoes, but
the contest has been an equal one
with each defeating the others ambi-
ton without being able to swallow
him up.
MacCaddon, who withdrew from
the combination to start n show OF
his own, met disaster in France.
since then he has become the virtual
head the tho Barnum a. Bailey in
terests, having. also. formed an alli-
ance with tho Buffalo Bill show.
Opposed to MacCaddon is Ring

the head of-one OF the strongest pos
sible combinations.
Hangeback, tho former Hamburg
animal trainer, with n good-sIzed cir
Gus, and the Pawnee Bill show, which
Is big attraction I'm the south and

hook next season.
Next season then will see four big
shows In the field, acting along in
dependent lines: Ringing Bros. and
lForepaugh g. Sells Bros, combined;
Barnum g. Bailey and Buffalo Bill
combined; Hagenbeck and Pawneo

This splitting up OF the circus world
will enliven matters when the season
opens, as there will be invasion OF
each others territory and fierce
scramble for patronage. show
grounds, bill boards and the widest
publicity.
Hagenbeck, whose Hamburg con-
Germ has been the chief source OF the
supply of animals for all the Ameri-
can circuses, is being boycotted 1t is
stated, by the circuses, which have
sent out agents to the four corners Of

Agents are looking, also. for good
atheletIc and equestrian acts which in
the superior quality are lamentably
lacking.

REMARKABLE find
ON The DESERT
STONE HAMMER SUCH AS THE
ANCIENTS 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 to the antiquities. Mr.. s.
X. Bradford, mining man and engin-
eer, rarely goes out on a trip with
his team without returning with
some sort of curiosity. He has Just
returned from Silver Peak, and II
the sand hills, eight or ten miles be-
low that camp, he picked up a stone
hammer, such as the ancients were
used to swing. Its antiquity was
shown by the fact that there We're no
grooves wherein to stick a handle,
but 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 a lavender-coIored whisky flask.

picked it up on the desert, where it

EVERY EVIDENCE Of
PROVING A WONDER
STIMLER DISTRICT IN SILVER
PEAK RANGE SHOWS UP
GREAT VALUES.

Five thousand or more feet above
the level Of the sea and high up and
well on towards the middle Of the
Silver Peak range OF mountains has
recently been established the new
Stimler mining district. and from the
indications that now exist 1t gives
more than ordinary promise of be-
coming ii of the leaders of Ne
vada's camps.
At present approach to the new
camp is slow and circuitous and re-
quires the greater part OF a days
travel. To get there one has to so
by train to Blair Junction, via Tono-
pah, and thence to Blair, where a
team is taken and a drive of fourteen
or fifteen miles follows over a road
that for a few miles compares fav-
orably with any in the country. but
the last section Of which is over
rocks and through sandy washes.
However, work Is now progressing on
the road leading out of the new
camp and within the next few days
II will be put in such shape that
travel viii become comparatively
easy. and added to this the plan to
establish a stage route between there
and Goldfeld. now in formation, will
bring this district within a very few
hours ride of the e camp and

WAS CHASING POT OF GOLD
THE POPULAR LEGEND CAME
VERY NEAR BEING
REALIZED.

Cheer up, Mary; don't be signing,
There's a rainbow in the sky.
Did you see that glorious rainbow
Of promise on Sunday afternoon?
Popular legend has it, and it has
come down through the corridors of
time, from the nursery rhymes. that
at the end Of a rainbow is a pot of
gold.
This rainbow was the nearest. to
earth than any which has ever been
seen in T%onopah.
One tip of it rested on the top of
the State Bank and Trust Company
building. and the other went down
the shaft of the Tonopah Extension.
That is, that is the way 1t looked
to people up on Mount Brougher, and
the arch of 1t lowered oyer the Mid
way, the Montana Tonopah and the
Mizpah. 1t looked that way to Don
Bartlett. the eldest o of Congress-
man George Bartlett, who bolted
from his nursery without hat or
coat, and was well under way In the
pelting rain, when a maternal adj
monition halted his expedition in
quest of the golden fleece.
~ am going to get the pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow" he cried
back. but alas the pot of gold was
not for him. If anybody else got It,
he left town right away. for there
has been nobody seen in town bragg
ging about his wealth.
There has long been a suspicion
that there Is a great pot of gold down
In the depths of the Tonopah Extern
sion, and it was passing strange that
the other end Of the phenomenon
found a resting place on the roof Of
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1907-11-02

colored their glass, and we have
never been able to discover the pro-
cess used by them. But this, per-
haps, explains it. The sun was their
coloring agent: That the flask that
/ brought in, once was white is shown
by the fact that the neck of it, about
which was fitted a metal CAP, was
still white. 1t is a curious phenom-
enon. but it looks as II we might have
captured M of the secrets of the
%ancients."
Mr.. Bradford had another queer
experience on his trip. On Monday
night he met a COW. a pretty COW,
and a mich COW. She was red all
over, with a white star on her face
and a 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 way Califor-
mia, and so started for home, new
ing, mewing all the way. Someone
in Tonopah has lost a valuable COW.

The main property of the new dis
trict is owned by Henry Jagels and
Harry P. Stimler, and consists Of i
group of ten claims, three of which
are being worked by leasers. Among
those at work are the Consolidated
Nevada Mines company, Watson,
Marachi and Coburn, Shirley and In
gals, Swears and Burton, and many
others. Thirty odd leases, however,
have been let and within a week or
so a big majority of them will be at
work. The deepest workings in the
camp are on the blocks of ground
owned by the first three named leas-
ers and at a depth OF fifty feet, which
has been attained by all OF them, the
showing is truly remarkable and
shows the section to be highly min
eralized and the pay shoots rich and
continuous. So far where work has
been prosecuted the shafts that have
been sunk follow the footwall and in
every instance where the ore body
has been cut there has been opened a
runs above shipping requirements
and promises TO net the operators a
big bunch of money. Average sam
pies taken from these workings by
the writer, who has made two visits
to the camp, have returned values
running anywhere from $50 to 5000,
and reports brought in from the
camp yesterday state that two feet Of
the ore cut in the footwall Of the
Consolidated Nevada Mines com
pany's lease at the 50-foot level,
showed returns Of s437 TO the ton,
seven ounces of which is gold. This
lease is being operated under the di-
rect supervision of Harry Stimler and
Fred MINIS,
The ledge system which ~traverses
this section of the Silver Peak coun-
try is wide and regular, cropping in
places twenty or thirty feet in the
air. 1t is SO prominent that it is
strange that work has never before
been done on it. but this may be par
tally explained by the fact that
about and above the surface leach
ing OF the lodges has taken place,
leaving the quartz both hungry
looking and barren, but a few feet
below the surface values began to ap-
pear and have steadily increased till
now the shipping product has been
reached and it gives every indication
of becoming permanent and will lead
to the development of a s~tupendous
mining proposition.
People are now 1ocking into the
new diggins" in considerable num-
bers. and to accommodate them sew
eral lodging and boarding houses
have been established and within the
next week a corral and livery stable
will be in operation. A townsite has
been surveyed and lots will be offered
for sale within the next few days.
The townsite possesses an ideal loea-
tion. 1t is situated upon a mesa
twenty feet above Cottonwood wash
and comprises about seventy acres.
Two miles from the town, which has
been named Stimler, timber abounds
in unreasonable quantities, and wa
ter, pure as crystal, can be piped
from Cottonwood Springs, half a
mile distant. For a new district there
is none in the state that seems so
pregnanat with hope as Stimler and
the day is not far distant when it
will enter the producing list and
strive for a national record.-Gold-

RAMSEY SHOWING
RICHER And BETTER

Put Ramsey down for a high grade
camp. The mine owners and pros
pectors are finding II in numbers OF
places and all the older properties
are getting better constantly. With
every days work the district is show
ing for the richer and better, and
late discoveries have still further
proven this mineral zone one of sur
face richness.
OF curse there Is 40 intention to
convey the meaning that there are
no milling ores here. Enough devel-
opment has already been done in the
district to indicate the source of bul-
lion production in the distant future.
Take the Ramsey Comstock mine
alone for instance. At that property
mountainous dumps of ore are piled
mp that represent a large tonnage
and the extraction of the milling
grade ores has already commenced.
They have a lot of ore raised to sur
face that Will plate from sis to SIS
per ton. The Walkoyer is also pro-
dueing a lot of milling ore along with
the high grade.
But the impression may have gone
forth that this district does not enjoy
the advantage of having ore that
would pay well to ship. If such is
the case there could be nothing fur
Their from the real facts. Shipments
of high grade ore is an established
condition, with absolute assurance
that the monthly tonnage will be in
creased right along. and the increase
is going to come from several prom
critics operating on lodges each indie
pendent and separate from the other.
A visiting mining man cannot help
being well impressed with Ramsey
district right now. He will see gold
in many places ii he takes the
trouble to investigate, and he will
see mines being developed at depth
sufficient to guarantee permanency
and long continued production.
Some very wide veins of shipping
ore are exposed in the various prop
critics and each weeks development
Is bringing to light additional on
mage.
The district is in position now to
invite the most exaeting scrutiny by
mining men. No fair minded man
can fail to see the genuine merit
of the mineral zone and the chance of
its becoming as great or greater
than any Of the new Nevada camps,
no place excepted. There is certain
to be one of the most productive
mining districts developed here that
lies within, the State. This great
system of silicifed bikes means a
rich mineral belt and daily discover
les are proving it to be such.
A gradual and steady increase in
mining activity is noted here. Every

under development and a little more
activity on the older properties. The
district and the town are steadily
growing and improving because the
mineral wealth is here. No better
indication of the true merit of the
camp could be mad than that. From
now on Ramsey district is going to
forge ahead and command attention
whether the banks bust or Wall
street squeezes the money a little
tighter or not. The all-powerful
magnet, gold, is getting. stronger
every minute here and it is sure to
have the effect of drawing men to it.
There is a mighty good starter for
a big. busting mining center right in
this north end of Lyon county. Watch
it and see.-Ramsey Recorder.

further cut down his squad yesterday
when he released Dick Harley, who had
been playing left field for the Tigers all
season. Harley has not hit up to his
this season, and the signing of
Moran last week put him on the bench.
Tom Crooks was also handed his blue
slip. Crooks is considered by many to be
the best hitter on the Trenton team, and
his release is somewhat Of a surprise to
the fans. Both Crooks and Harley have
returned to their homes.
