AN IMPORTANT STRIKE

While doing some development work
on his mines in the Mason Pass section
recently Pat Gallagher opened up a fine
ledge of copper ore, varying in width
from to 4 feet. The ore is mixture
of sulphide and carbonate and average
samples taken from the ledge show the
ore to contain from Is to Is per cent.
copper and from IS to So in gold.
The first ore ever shipped out of the
Mason Valley district over the old G. &
c. railroad was taken from this mine.
This was some time along in the early
1905, nd many hundreds of tons of
high grade ore have been taken out and
shipped since that time. This property
lies toward the northern end of the great
copper belt which traverses the range Of
mountains to the west of Mason Valley
for twenty miles, or more, and is in the
same belt as all the big properties being
operated and developed by Salt Lake
people and others who have become in
terested here in the past year or so. It
is one Of the best showings in the dis
trict, and the fact the that ore contains
gold values of importance is one of the
excellent features about it.

WELL Be THERE, JUDGE

Judge H. A. McCraney, the able and
distinguished editor of the Manhattan
News, has issued call to the press of
Nevada to meet at Carson City, February
10, for the purpose of organizing State
Press Association.
Well be there, Judge, if we have to
walk. Not that we expect much good
to Nevada to come of it, but there may :
we'll chance it.
State Press Associations are commonly
about the most forceless and measly or
CARNATIONS ever, but there is always a
possibility of most puissant force in
them, and organization is therefore de-
sirable. We don't expect very much of
this movement because we have not dis
covered any deep, earnest, energizing
common motive amongst people or the
newspapers of Nevada at this time land
be it ever remembered that motives do
not originate with organizations but vice
versa. Sometimes indeed an intelligent
and energetic organization does nightly
help to nurse motive into strength and
effectiveness.
The best that can be said of State or
National press associations is that they
are commonly harnlless-partly because
they mean well and partly because they
haven't moral or intellectual force
enough to do any harm if they wanted
to. They are usually forceless little
mutual admiration societies composed of
the amiable nincompoops of the press.
Strong men hardly ever join them for
the simple reason that the organizations
usually possess no living, inspiring ener-
giving motive.
There is motive that all the news
papers of the State, regardless of party
affiliations, should be able to unite on,
and take All oath-bound pledge to fight
for till the last armed foe expires, with
life, honor and property as the forfeit
for poltroonery-the rescue of our own
and only Nevada from the pitiless grip
of the ROBBER RAILROADS which are
strangling the life out of her.
But get together by all means and let
us see II there is any possibility of good
in the movement. There certainly will
not be unless it is to be something vide
ly different from most state press associ-
atoms.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE

]. J. Beatty and Mrs. Thad Hoppin,
of this place, had quite an experience on
Wednesday Of this week during trip to
the new camp of Mountain View. They
started out quite early in the morning
with Mr.. Beatty's team of horses and a
spring wagon to take some supplies to
the boys in camp, and made the trip
safely over a very rough road and
through snow drifts at the other end
that would do credit to Michigan and
Wisconsin. After delivering the supplies
they started on the return trip, and had
reached point about three miles this
side of Mountain View, where the road
was little better, though down grade
considerably, when one of the horses in
the team stumbled and broke leg.
Night was coming on, but there was
nothing to do but make the journey with
one horse. After some consideration
Mr.. Beatty mounted the uninjured horse
and came to Yerington for another ami
NAL, while Mrs. Hoppin, after making
the injured animal as comfortable as
possible, trudged back to camp, some
three miles, on foot, through the snow
and during one of the coolest nights of
the season. Mr.. Beatty returned to the
scene of the accident later on and the
injured animal was shot to put him out
of misery. The return trip was made to
Yerington was made the next day under
less difficulties. We have not yet been
informed of the assassination of the
black cat at the camp, which Beatty con-
tends was the cause of all the bad luck.

CRUELTY.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.-It is like
reading the report of post-mortem to
look over the sworn reports of cam
paign expenditures made by defeated
candidates. While we see and admit
the necessity Of making the law ap-
plicable to all candidates alike, our
sympathy could not be withheld from
a defeated candidate who would in
vite the penalty of refusing to obey.
A man may bear defeat with compos-
ure. He may even smile while listen
ing to the music of serenade of his
victorious opponent, He may wear a
brave front to the world while he re.
fuses to wear his heart upon his
sleevesfor DAVIS to peck at. But after
all Of this bravery he must set out
under oath how much he has paid for
his licking This Is so much more
humiliating than shearing to what a
man pays for giving the other fellow
the licking. man might be proud
to pay something for getting the best
of it, but he must balk at telling the
public what he paid for getting the
worst of it. Pat said a reverend
father to one of his parishioners, Il
