RUSHING WORK.

According to recent advices from
Shelter, work there is being rushed
to a remarkable degree.
Excavation work of all kinds is
practically at an end, only one or
two teams being still employed on
the plants to be erected. This means
that the Ely Construction company
will shortly be relieved from all fun
thew work at the plant, and can
hereafter devote their energies to
looking after their share of Ely
city's superfiuous building opera
lions.
The work on the power house is
progressing rapidly and the twelve
boilers are erected and the work OF
building the foundations, fire boxes,
etc, will be commenced at once.
The two great stacks, work on which
vas commenced some three weeks
ago, are rising steadily, and the
foundations of the converter stock
will probably be commenced within
a day or two.-White Pine News.

CLOSE DEAL.
Claims Purchased by Mining Com
pany at Mazuma.

pany at MaZuma.
This week a deal was closed
whereby G. e. Peters, II. n. Riddle
and Carlton Rodolf of Mazuma, pur-
chased from A. Archibald a select
mineral claim, to be decided to the
Seven Troughs Gilt Edge Mining
company, which is now in process of
organization. The property adjoins
the Quartzite, on which r. V. KEEL
Ter of Colorado Springs has disclosed
a ledge carrying high values in free
gold. The ledge on which Keller is
working crosses directly into the
Gilt Edge, which will catch the ledge
at lower elevation than where it is
exposed on the Quartzite. Besides
the Keller vein, the Gilt Edge shows
a quartz ledge three feet wide from
which assays values in gold and sill
yer have been obtained from practi-
cally the surface. The wide ledge
traverses the entire length of the
Gilt Edge, 1900 feet, judging by its
strike where exposed, as it directly
parallels the sidelines of the prop
erty. On the Gilt Edge there is a
flowing spring which adds greatly to
the value of the property, and also
indicates that a true assure exists on
the Gilt Edge, as Mater in this re-
gion necessarily comes from great
depths. This condition is found at
the Mazuma Hills and liver, both of
which have made h%igh-grade ship
ments. The Gilt Edge lies on the
trend directly north of the Mazuma
Hills, and in line with the best prop
critics so far developed, both to the
north in Stone House canyon, and to
the south in Seven Troughs canyon

that a number of substantial finds
have been made during the past few
weeks which promise to develop into
something big.
Messrs. Henderson and McLaugh-
lin had with them some placer gold
taken fro mtheir property which at
tracted considerable attention among
the fraternity on the streets in YER
non. The gold exhibited was esti-
mated to have a valuation of So and
was the result of two mems work for
a little more than two hours. Con-
sidering the fact that the gold was
obtained by drywashing the showing
is regarded as remarkable and dem
onstrates that the yellow stuff
abounds in large quantities in that
section.
Mr.. Henderson stated that a shaft
was being sunk on an adjoining claim
where the placer gold was found, the
object being to reach bedrock and
also to develop water. The shaft has
attained a depth of eighty-fve feet,
and at this point, our informant add
ed, a volcanic cement formation was
being passed through. 1t is thought
that it will require a depth of lac
feet before bedrock is reached-Ver-

The acquisition of the Tungate
claims by the heavy Montana opera
tors mean the operating of that
property on a large scale. 1t is not
known what the plans of the new
me are, but it will probably mean
the immediate sinking of several deep
shafts on the ground.
Wilbur E. Sanders. the represent
tative of the Montana syndicate, is
of the greatest copper experts Of
the West, being recognized as an au-
thority and a man of wide expert
ence in the mining of the red metal.
That he has given ample evidence of
his faith in the Crackerjack copper
field is evident from the fact that this
is the third large transaction he has

on the Red Top-at the 80, 70 and
90 foot levels. On the two upper
levels as far as the ledge has been
opened it shows an average width of
five feet and, according to the state
ment of one of the officials of the
company, the entire ledge yields good
paintings. At the 70-foot level,
where a station was recently cut,
there is a streak running through
the main ledge that is productive of
picture ore, some of the assays 60
ing as high as $4,000 to the ton.
Several phenomenal paintings have
been had, and one which was on ex-
hibition at a local ~assayer's Office at
tracted unusual attention. From one
pan of dirt enough gold to cover the
bottom of a pan vas obtained. The
gold shows some specialization,
while the majority is in a free state,
some of the nuggets being as large
as peas.
At the 90-foot level drifting still
continues, and as the work goes
ahead every indication points to open
ing a big shoot of ore. The ledge
has changed somewhat during the
past few days and is now running
d%iagonally across the drift. The drift
will be carried ahead, however, ant
the exact width of the vein will be
determined. No returns from the
samples have been had from thil
point as yet, but from the formation
it is believed the values will run
much higher than they do on tn,
upper levels.
Every effort is being exerted b.
the management to develop the prop

RAILWAY FOR PIOCHE.
Operator Says One Will Be Built
From Coal Yields.

From Coal Fields.
H. s. Woolley, president of the
Woolley Exploration Compasy, in an
extended interview with the Mining
Record of Denver, gives some inter-
esting facts concerning railroads in
Nevada, as to earnings of the new
constructed roads. He says;
Nevada railways pay their cost
of construction inside of one year.
The railroad connecting Goldield and
Tonopah paid for itself inside of six
months, while the railroad built from
Sodaville to Tonopah paid for itself
inside of the first year, and it has
been paying over 100 per cent a year
in dividends ever since"
Mr.. Woolley believes that the one
great problem to be solved by Me-
vada mining camps is that of trans
portation and fuel, and that in soly-
ing one you get the other. He be-
lieves that the great distance that
fuel is hauled at present is entirely
unnecessary and for the purpose of
reducing this haul his company will
build a road from the coal fields in
southern Utah which will connect
with all the important mining towns
of southern Nevada. The road will
be about $50 miles in length and will
connect Ely, Phoebe and other south
ern camps. With relation to the
road and Phoebe, he says: Phoebe
will be reached within less than sew
enty-five miles" and he concludes
the interview with the encouraging
statement: 1--WE are going to build
the railroad now, and that will lead
on to other things. Just watch oul
operations for profits that will scare

WOMAN NARROW ESCAPE.
Saved From Jail by Exhibiting Miss.
ing Joint.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-A remarkable
case of mistaken identity occurred
yesterday at the Old Street police
court.
Sarah Rowe, 60 years old, VINO
gave the name of Smith when she
was arrested, was charged with steal
ing a skirt from a pawnbroker's shop
in Hoxton. There was no doubt
about her guilt on this charge, IN.
a record from Scotland Yard was pro
duced showing that a OF the
same description had been convicted
several times of stealing clothing.
The last of these convictions was IN
1891.
A policeman came forward and
said he ha dthe woman in custody on
the last of these occasions and recog-
nized her. He said that she was then
sentenced to twenty-one months inn
prisonment.
The woman seemed greatly aston.
ished and declared that in 1891 she
was living happily with her husband.
from whom she had been separated
since then. and two respectable look
ing girls, who said they were her
daughters, stated that they had never
heard of their mother being charged
With theft before.
Photographs of the woman who
was convicted in 1891 were produced.
and Mr.. Biron. the magistrate. com
pared them closely with the prisoner,
and said that there was a great re.
semblance. She was put back until
the afternoon for the production OF
further evidence.
When she was placed in the dock
again the woman at once asked the
policeman who had identified her II
the woman was deformed in any way
The policeman replied that she was
not, and the woman at once held ur
her right hand and showed that the
index finger was short by one Joint.
She said that she had it removed
when she was IL years old.
The magistrate called for the DO.
lice photographs again, and they
showed that the hands of the woman
who was convicted in 1891 were per.
feet.
Mr., Biron then said he was salts.
fled that a mistake had been made
and, calling the policeman forward
told him that he had ought to bt
more careful, and that It was a dang.
erous thing to try and make an iden.
LITIGATION after sixteen years. He
sentenced the woman to seven years
Imprisonment for the theft for which
she had been convicted.

STRIKE G GRADE.

The recent strike of high-grade
ore on the Badger group of Henry
w. Rossby, C. NJ. Lane, and the
closing of a deal which Lane and his
associates take a lease on 400 feet of
the Gold Mint claim, has attracted
the attention of some Oakland and
San Francisco capitalists to that end
of the camp, as a result they have
secured control of the Yankee
Doodle claims, three in number. A
company has been formed to exploit
the property, which, because of its
location to the east of the Badgers,
and because the veins on the last
named estate trend east and west, Is
looked upon by those who know the
ground as containing the possibilities
of a mine. After trenching for a
few weeks for the purpose Of open
ing up the vein, a shaft will be sunk
on the Yankee Doodle No. /, which
has the best showing. Assays OF
float from this claim run as high as
$4S to the ton.
This work will be under the per-
sonal supervision of G. II. Richard.

LACK OF FUEI.

The Nevada Consolidated mine at
Olinghouse and the Buck" ingalls,
mine at the same place have been
compelled to close down, the first be-
cause the fuel could not be obtained
and the second because timbers could
not be secured for the mine. Both
companies claim that the inability to
get the fuel and timber was the re-
suit of discrimination by the railroad
against them.
The Buck" ingalls, property is To-
Gated on ground patented by the rail-
road and which p%atenting is now be-
ing investigated by the interior de-
partment at Washington, ID. c., upon
the complaint of ingalls,. The case
has been hanging fire for several
years and Is n of the most noted in
the western mining country. The Con-
solidated property is also located on
the patented ground held by the rail-
road and the officers of that company
assign this as a reason the Southern
Pacific discriminates against them

With the maturing of Mr.. Heinze's
