practical mining men in the world.
1t always takes wheel within a
wheel-the abstract of work and the
detail of work. Foreman Gallagher
came from the Homestake mines in
the Black Hills with years of mining
experience as his stock in trade. For
sixteen years he was in the employ
of the Homestake company and is one
of the most valuable men in the can
yon. He is not only a good mining
man but he knows how to treat his
fellows. If Mr.. Gallagher does not
care to make statement about the
ramifications of the Veteran, he has
pleasing way of avoiding the ans
wering of any question propounded
to him. With such bunch as is in
command at the Veteran it is not at
all surprising that big mine has
been developed.

PURE silver
PRODUCED IN
WHITE PINE
FRANK GORDON, IN FROM OLD
EAGLE DISTRICT REPORTS
BIG SILVER FIND.
ONE CAN ALMOST HAMMER SILVER
The Old Eagle District, Now Called
Regain, Is One of The Rich
est of Nevada Camps.

Frank Gordon, who spent several
months prospecting around Duck
Creek and who went to the old Eagle
district last spring, has struck it rich.
Eagle district has been re-vamped
and is now known as Regain. 1t is
near Tibbitt in the county. He re-
ports that Regain is showing up some
fine lodges. He carries watch charm
as "big as piece of chalk" of al
most pure silver which with another
piece that weighs several ounces, was
taken out of small pieces of ore with
the heat from a blacksmith's forge
and an ordinary pocketknift. Mr..
Gordon says that Regain is one of the
richest districts in White Pine coun-
ty, and that he has on the dump of
the Highland Boy mine about forty
tons of ore as rich as the samples
he took the silver from. He Is going
back this morning. He says the
camp is attracting a good deal of at
tention from Salt Lake parties and
that people are coming in every day.

SULPHIDES ARE
Encountered In
GOLD BAR SHAFT

A strike which apparently has con-
siderable significance as applied to
the ultimate extension of the Man
haitian ore belt, was made recently
on the acreage of the Manhattan Gold
Bar company. At a depth of 100
feet in the main working shaft vein
has been encountered that is well
filled with naturalization and which
promises to carry gold values in pay
ing quantities at greater depth. The
body fills the shaft and is thoroughly
impregnated with sulphides. 1t Is
the intention to lower the shaft to
the 25O-foot level before attempting
to prove up this ledge.
The Gold Bar estate is located
about mile and a half from the
town of Manhattan, in what is known
as the South Manhattan section. Los
Angeles capital is largely interested
in the enterprise. Other strikes of
considerable Importance have been
recently made in the vicinity of the
Gold Bar.

FOR $4,000
INTERESTING POINT TO BE DE-
CIDED BY U. S. COURT AT
CARSON CITY.
BONES BROKEN BY MISSED SHOT
Was Crippled For Life In Mine And
Now Seeks Damages AT The
Hands of The Court.

A Carson press dispatch says: a
suit for $4,000 personal damages
has been filed in the United States
court, being transferred from the dis
trict court of Nye county upon petit
ton of the defendant, Tramp Consol-
idated Mining company The plain
tiff in the case is Charles Gardner, a
miner who is now confined in the
miners hospital at Rhyolite.
According to the complaint the ac-
cident on which the suit is based
resulted in decorating. manning, Grip
ping and binding Gardner for life
The complaint cites that last March
1st, Gardner was employed as a min
err by the Tramp Consolidated Mining
company on its property in the Bull
frog district. That the workings of
the mine consisted of one main tun-
mel and two lateral branches, one
running in each direction. That two
shifts of men were employed on the
property and that right before the
change of shifts, the company ar
ranged to shoot" in both laterals
from the main tunnel and shovel
away the rock and debris after the
explosion. That he began to do SO
when his pick struck missed shot
and the resulting explosion mangled
him frightfully. Gardner had the
bones of both hands broken, one leg
broken, both eyes blown out, his body
fearfully lacerated and manned.
Since the accident he has been a pa
tient at the hospital at Rhyolite.
He AYERS that the mining company
was negligent in the manner of ar
ranging and setting time for shoot
ing. Also that proper precautions
were not taken to protect its en-
ployes. Gardner is SO years old and
Senator w. M. Stewart is his attor-

Picking Up the Loose Ends of Bust
ness Temporarily Dropped at
This End.

c. B. Castle 'of the Graham Mer-
camille company Is back from a five-
weeks business visit to Chicago and
New York.
Mr.. Castle says business conditions
at the east are fairly good. Nearly
all the merchants are now placing or
ders for goods, not only for fall
trade, but for next spring as we'll.
He says the markets are almost bare
of stock at the present time. He said
his visit was one of purely business
and that he had no time to devote
to the study of the financial or poll
tical situation. While away he plac-
ed orders for his firm and says he
will have the largest and best stock
of all kinds of goods ever opened in
Nevada very soon. He did say, how
ever, that from his observation the
oldest and shrewdest politicians were
scratching their heads, seeming not
to know which way the political cat
would jump. He said that President
Roosevelt had a very large following,
but goodly number were after him
with forked stick all through
the east. Mr.. Castle says he would
not be at all surprised to see split
Ill Une TepuDllCdu TdHkS anu see that
party put up two candidates for the
presidency. Returning to business
conditions, Mr.. Castle said that the
great demand for goods continued
and that there was very hopeful
feeling in all quarters.
He said that Ely was on the ton
que of nearly every one he met and
that Nevada was occupying place
in the center of the stage of activity.
He said that people generally were
greatly interested in when the smelt-
err at McGill would be completed, and
that he expected great influx of
people in here this winter and the
coming spring.
Travelling men," remarked Mr..
Castle, call over the United States
are great boosters for Robinson dis
trict and they boost in season and
out"
He has been exceedingly busy
picking up the business ends that he
has somewhat lost during the five
weeks he has been in the markets of
the east.

THE MINES IN ROBINSON CANYON
WHAT HAS AND WHAT IS DOING
Rich Section That Attracting the Attention Of the Copper Nodva
liable Deposits of the Red Metal Already Stripped Of the
Gaping and Ready to be Mined

Everything is moving along at the
Veteran and much work is being
blocked out. Within the next few
days there will be many families ar
rive from the Black Hills, Montana
and other districts, to become per-
manent residents up the canyon. This
will greatly relieve the labor situa-
ton as the scarcity of skilled labor
has been a handicap to the develop
ment of the mine.
Development work has been going
on steadily for the past six months
and the mine is proving of greater
richness with every stroke of the
pick. The shaft is down 500 feet,
and the management are now drift
ing to connect with various openings
in the mine.
About 100000 tons of ore are
already uncovered and it is now be-
ing exposed at the rate of 1000, 900
per week. The ore runs from 1 to 3
per cent copper. The development
work will continue at the present rate
or more rapidly for ten months. The
company is developing one of the
greatest copper deposits ever discov-
cred. One hundred and seventy men
are now on the payroll, doing devel-
opment work, under the general SUI
perintendency of w. H. Seagraves,
A. G. Crookshanks, mining superin-
tendent, with j. A. Gallagher filing
the position of foreman of the work.
Mr.. Seagraves is a graduate of the
School of Mines of the Nevada State
University and has had large eXneri-
ence in mining in South Africa, where
he spent seven or eight years in the
employ of the Simmer & Jack mine,
near johannesburg. Mr.. Seagraves
has been in the employ of the Vet
eran for the past six months and dur
ing that time the Veteran has been
changed from a mere prospect to one
of the greatest producers of copper
the world has yet seen. Mr.. Sea-
graves is one of the best posted men
in the mining world and has very
bright future.
Mr.. Crookshanks is one of the best

PRODUCTION
OF COPPER has
NOT INCREASED
THE OUTPUT FELL OFF IN BUTTE
NEARLY 100000 POUNDS
IN JULY, 1907.
AN IMPOSsIBILITY TO INCREASE
In July, 1906, The Output Was D8,-
G23,87O, As Against 99,27G,-
go For July, 1907.

The Boston News Bureau figures
the production of copper in the Unit
ed States, Mexico and Canada for the
month of July at 9S,623,78O pounds,
compared with a production of &c.
$4,000 pounds in June, 1907, and
99,276,970 pounds in July, 1906, a
decrease of S53, 100 pounds COM
pared with last year.
1t appears to be physical impos-
sibility for the producers of copper
to increase their production over last
year. One district will increase one
month and another district fall be-
hind. Utah was the bright particular
star in increasing production last
month, the output from its smelters
aggregating in excess of 100000
pounds. Some of this production,
however, came from California and
Nevada ores. On the other hand,
Butte production fell off nearly g.
100000 pounds and Arizona produce
ton fell off about 100000 pounds
Canadian production was larger dur
ing July than any other month this
year.
The total production of the United
States, Mexico and Canada for the
first seven months of the year we
estimate and compare as follows:
For the first six months of 1907,
563,909,263 TBS; for 1906, $780,
494,5S1 fbs-decrease of 22,585,31S

BIG MERGER
EFFECTED AT
TUSCARORA
CAMP THAT HAS PRODUCED $42,-
COCOON AND ONLY WORKED
TO 500 FEET DEPTH.
A. D. MYERS IS ENTHUSIASTIC
He Says The Camp Will Be The Next
Great One of The State And
Is One of Richest.

AL Meyers, the we'll known million
aire mining man of Goldfield, has
left Reno for Tuscarora, where he is
heavily interested in. gold mines.
Myers is most enthusiastic over the
camp and declares that it will be the
next great camp of the state.
Why" said he, there's been
$42, 100000 taken out of that camp
already to the 500-foot level and
they missed the real mines. They
didn't discover the ore which is 60
ing to make the camp. They stopped
right on the edge of it. There is a
big gold dyke there, and the farther
down you go, the better the ore be-
comes.
"Out of one pit, $1,S0O,OOO has
been taken. That was just fve-foot
shaft.
There are eighty-five locations of
lode and placer. Most of the mining
property has been bought up by H.
]. Mayhem, who effected the merger
for $12,OO0,00O. There are 1000
acres in that property, and 1t will be
a second Homestake. The corpora
ton is known as the Tuscarora Ne
vada Mines compan.
Among the best mines in the
merger are the Navajo, the Grand
Prize, the Commonwealth, the Queen,
the Independent, the North Belle Isle,
the Belle Isle and the De Freese.
There are eighty-five of them al
together.
"The country looks very much like
Butte. There the beautiful valley.
surrounded by the abrupt, rugged
mountains, makes pretty picture.
1t is a beautiful country.
by the time the 300-foot level was
reached the camp had paid $4,000
900 in thirteen dividends.
Parrish, the we'll known expert,
has passed on the property, and |
have had my own expert, Mr.. Turner,
looking over the ground with the re-
suit that his report has led me to
invest very heavily in Tuscarora.
"There can be no mistaking the
coming greatness of this camp, ac-
cording to my IDEAS"
Mr.. Myers is heavily interested in
Ely on several lines.

to the evil practice of making up spu-
rious reports upon mining PROPOSE
tions by utter incompetents. An en-
gineer's report will then mean some
thing, and it can be relied upon by
the investor. Malpractice under such
law would, of course, have the Ell

this kind would prevent many frauds
now committed by those who pose as
mining engineers, yet who are posi-
tive disgrace to that noble profession.
The outlook in White Pine county
is very encouraging. Cherry Creek,
Muncy Creek, Osceola, Hamilton,
Sawmill canyon, Duck creek and
many other sections of the county
are attracting more attention just
now than ever before in the history
of White Pine. There have been
times when some of the districts
mentioned have been, perhaps, more
strongly in the limelight than they
are today, but there has never been a
time when the mining interest OF the
county was in more healthy condl-
ton. Robinson district Is, perhaps,
the most talked about OF any sectloh,
but that is because there has been
more development work done In THIS
district of any named. All other sec
tions are practically grass-root prop
ositions as yet. No depth has been
attained, and the districts named are
as yet almost unscratched. with IN
telligent development and little
money they will be made camps
whose output will startle the mining
world. feel just as confident of this
as / do of anything not absolutely
demonstrated. Cherry Creek has,
years agone, been great producer
of gold, as has Osceola district,
Ward, Taylor and several other
places on White Pines map are COM
ing and will soon be In evidence, not
only in White Pine, but all through
the United States where mining IN
terests are nursed.
Robinson district will be pro-
ducer of wealth after the smelter mas

and no superiors in this, II not IN
any other state in the union. The
copper beds have been developed to
a point that means large output OF
conner in the near future. Inc OPP
portunities for investment in this dis
trict are unsurpassed in any section
There is something in Ely and ROD
inson district for all corners. ELY is
a young and growing city and the
growth is builded on a solid bust
ness foundation. Don't miss the
chance of a lifetime but get in NOW.
White Pine county is one or the
richest in Nevada's fourteen. 1t pos
sesses resources that have never yet
been touched by either capital or Ia
bor. With every resource carried to
its highest state of development II
would astonish the world. Her min
ing interests are varied and extern
sive and only require work to make
them valuable assets. The time Is
not far distant when they will be
taken advantage of and when that
time comes White Pine will have a
population of many, very many thou

New York, Nov. 4-The present none

fact that the value OF our agricultural

ANTHONY COMSTOCK
is TAKEN TO TASK

Battle Creek, Mich, Nov. 4.-Anthony
Comstock OF New York. the principal
speaker at last nights session of the pur-
ity congress. in his address reviewed his
long fight against vice, and particularly
the mailing OF indecent and obscene books
and pictures. He told of numerous at
tacks on his life which had been made,
he said, as a result OF his war against
vice.
One OF the favorite methods of the pub
fishers OF indecent literature. said Mr..
Comstock. Is to secure the catalogues or
membership from colleges and schools
and use them as mailing lists for their
products.
Mr. Comstock severely criticised Robert
Ingersol for his support of the move
ment to secure the repeal by congress
of the so-called Comstock laws and his
criticism brought a sharp defence of Mr..
Ingersoll from the Rev. Caroline Bartlett
Crane. a widely known Unitarian preach
er of Kalamazoo. Mich.
She refused to believe that Mr. Inger-
soils motives could have been other than
good and impelled by some deep convic-
ton. She also objected to Mr.. Comstock's g
characterization OF Mr.. Ingersoll as. an
arch-heretic.
