GOLD IN FLOAT ON
WHITE PINE MOUNTAIN
THE PROSPECTS GOOD FOR FIND
ING MOTHER LODE WHERE
1T CAME FROM.
INFLUENCING NATIONAL LEGISLATION
Blast From The Eberhart Had Much
To DO With Congress Drop
ping The Silver Dollar.

Hamilton is attracting more at
tention at the present time than it
has before in years. No less than
four experts have recently been there
looking over the district and all
agree that it presents more good
camp in the state. White Pine noun
tain is full of metals, gold silver,
lead, and copper. 1t requires but
time and little money to develop
some fine properties in the old dis
trict. Very recently gold bearing
float has been picked up on the west
side of White Pine mountain that as
says very high in gold. A prospect
or named Densimore has found float
that runs into the hundreds of dol
lars. Prospector Brown found some
porphyry float the other day that as
sayed $500 to the ton.
Several are hunting for the place
the float came from. In my judg-
ment there can be no doubt of big
mother lode being hidden under the
rugged peaks and rough sides of
White Pine and some day someone
will blunder onto great fortune
The district is undoubtedly rich in
gold, silver and lead, and the indi-
cation for valuable copper beds is
exceedingly pleasing. I had an as
say made the other day from an ore
picked up on the west side of White
Pine that went $500 to the ton, or
more correctly speaking, the value
returned was $299.76 in gold. At
the present time there are no less
than three propositions being con-
sidered, any one of which will bring
Hamilton to the worlds attention as
1t has never been drawn before, even
in the palmiest days of the camp. A
camp that has been rich enough to
influence national legislation as the
Eberhart mine did in the '70's.
when the news was flashed across
the continent that in White Pine
county whole mountain of pure sill
yer had been found, must have some
interest. That blast from the mine
on Treasure Hill did as much or more
to influence congress in dropping the
silver dollar from the coinage act of
1873 as any other one circumstance.
The fact that the pocket" was too
soon worked out cuts no ice now.
There are three distinct blankets of
ore running through the district.
One of copper, another of lead and
the third of silver.
The chances of finding good gold
property on the west side of White
Pine are good, very good, for where
there is so much rich float found 1t
is almost foregone conclusion that
there is a mother ledge where the
float came from. Il am quite willing
to bide my time for the truthfulness
of my prediction. A generation is
but a span in history and the fact
that gold in paying quantities has
not been discovered before goes for
naught. Inc day is coming and if
day will.

NEWSFROM NEWH0USE
UTAH IS ALL RIGHT
COPPER ORE THAT GOES
TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT IN
THE RED METAL.
IT IS BELOW THE SIX HUNDRED
Cross Cutting to Commence at The
Seven Hundred Foot Level
of The Cactus.

The Boston company operating
near Newhouse, Utah, still continues
in a rich body of shipping ore dis
covered on the fourth and sixth lev
els of the Cactus mine has been
proven beyond a doubt with its dis
covery at the 500-foot level.
This ore, which, in places, runs as
high as 20 per cent copper was found
some time ago at the openings at
both the 400-foot and 600-foot levels,
and the same grade was recently dis
covered as well at depth of 500
feet for distance of 260 feet. The
extra so feet are accounted for by
the fact that the vein runs on an
angle.
Sinking the shaft below the 900
rot level has rea:illed in Il further
depth of so :ent being r.a""si In
lowering to this distance body of
milling ore running per cent cop
per has been gone through.
The mine management intends,
when the seventh level is reached, to
commence prosecuting to ascertain
if the rich ore body runs at depth.

COPPER|SK|NG
CONSUMPTION
A Big Concern In the Market
For Large Pur.
chaSeS.
LAKE SUPERIOR COPPER
The Price Largely Controlled by The
Condition of The Money and
Bond Market
LAKE SUPERIOR COPPER

The views of the copper situation
as taken by one of the largest con-
sumers of the metal in the country
the National Conduit & Gable COM
pany, using more than 50,00O,OOO
pounds every year, are interesting
In part they are:
The kernel of the copper situation
lies in the present unsatisfactory sit
uation of the money and bond mar
kets. No permanent improvement
r can be looked for until it becomes
possible to finance new enterprises
with greater facility than can be done
at present The trouble is not with
the price of copper, but the root of
the difficulty is traceable to the in
ability of various utility corporations
to secure the necessary funds for
improvements.
While the principal producers were
maintaining a nominal price of 25
IA cents, recently, there were sellers
anxious to do business for much less
money.
There is probably considerable cop
per in the hands of consumers car
ried over from old contracts and the
apathy of some of the prominent
manufacturers would seem to con-
firm the belief that supplies of raw
material are by: no means exhausted.
Business is getting down on a
more normal plane. The ideas of the
financial and industrial world are
not quite so inflated as they were.
The Scoville Manufacturing COM
pany, of Waterbury, Conn, one of
the largest consumers of copper in
the United States, is in the market
for copper which it is ordering with
instructions to make deliveries as
quickly as possible, in some cases
within fortnight.
The price which the company is
raying on it's present orders is %
cents a pound for the Lake brand
Purchases of copper by the Scoville
company have been from among the
small producers, who sell direct to
the trade, one purchase of 100000
pounds being made from a Lake SUI
perior mining company producing
about 100000 pounds of copper a
year. The closing of negotiations for
this sale practically cleans up the
selling company's supply of copper
on hand.

DUCK CREEK PROPERTY
HAS CHANGED HANDS
CARSON MINES & MILLING co.
CLEARING DECKS; SOON BE
DEVELOPING PROPERTY.

Charles s. Sexton, foreman for the
Carson Mines and Milling company at
Duck Creek writes to Mr. Carson as
follows:
81 have been over a part of the
ground in the Duck Creek district
and from the surface indications |
consider it very fattering, the best
have ever seen.
II have commenced stripping the
ledge and will be in position to
average it up in few days"
The ledge is twenty feet wide and
it is said the ore carries 80 per cent
lead.
Papers were signed on Friday con-
veying the property to the Carson
Mines and Milling company by Brim,
Oldfield and Randall. Mr.. Carson
full blacksmithing outfit and will
commence development work on the
property at once. Mr.. Carson says
he has carload of ore on the dump
waiting for sacks already ordered,
and will commence shipping 80 per
cent ore very soon.
Awaiting Payment.
James S. Cazier of Spring Valley
and Jacob lobe of the same locality
are in Ely in anticipation of receiv-
ing a payment of $500 on some
mining property bonded last winter
to Gianoli and Osteland. The pay
ment is expected on August list, and
is for the Lucky Boy group.
A Final Payment.
Hon. Thomas Rockhill who has
been made wealthy within the past
two years by selling his holdings in
Robinson district, enabling him to
avoid the rigors of White Pine win
ter on a farm he purchased last fall
near Oroville, CAL, where the fig
tree is in perpetual blossom, thereby
smoothing his path in life in the
winter of his ripe old age, and w. H.
Bray and Newton Boyd, have made
the final payment on some copper
prospects near Battle Mountain,
bought of H. A. Lamaire of that
town. The property promises to add
many dollars to the bank accounts of
the purchasers.

GREEKS ARE ACCUSED
OF DOING MURDER

The coils of the law are tighten
ing around Argentos, the Greek out
law and horse thief, and already the
first links have been forged in a
chain of evidence that may bring the
desperate to the gallows, says the
Tonopah Sun. The body found near
Steininger's ranch has been identifi-
ed as that of Paulovich, by his neph-
ew. Paulovich is the man who went
into the southern desert with Ar
gentos about two weeks ago, ex-
pecting to return to Goldfield in five
days. When last seen alive he was
with Argentos and now his body has
been found wrapped in blanket
and with two bullet holes in the left
side of the head. The bullets are of
forty-five caliber. Previous to his
arrest, Argentos pawned his gun, a
forty-five, with the saloon keeper at
Montana station. Two cartridges had
been discharged. The body was
found accidentally by Mike Gallagher
prospector, fifty yards from little
adobe house, In small canyon close
to Grapevine springs and about the
same distance to the left of the road
to Scotty's camp. Gallagher kept his
own counsel as to his gruesome find
and told no one as to the location or
the body, until he notified Ray Baker
over the phone, as he feared that
some of Argentos Greek fellow coun-
trymen might remove the body and
thus destroy all evidence of the
crime.

station, one of Bakers witnesses in

Mayor Schrnitz
Got Five Years

San Francisco, July O. Superior
Judge Dunno Monday morning, in the
presence of the largest crowd that has
as yet gathered in his courtroom at
Temple Sheriff. Israel, sentenced May
or Eugene E. Schmitz to five years i'm
risonment in San Quentin penitentiary
for the crime of extorting $1175 from
French restaurant keepers of San Fran
cisco, of which crime he was convict
ed by jury on the 18th of last month.
The sentencing of Schmitz was one
of the most dramatic scenes ever wit
messed in a western court. The etfec-
tiveness of the fearful denunciation of
the convicted mayor as delivered by
the judge prior to the passing of judg-
ment was heightened by the demeanor
of the prisoner, who time and again
interrupted the court to demand that
"these humilating remarks" be desist-
ed from and that 1.-THE court do It's
duty" by pronouncing sentence at
once. Once while the sentence i'm
pended, the judge threatened to send
Attorney Metson of the mayors coun-
sci to Jail for contempt because he de-
cried the courts comments as "cruel
and unusual punishment, and Metson
was told by Dunno that he ought to be
begging a day in court to defend him
self against the charge of having tam
pered with witness in the case.
The defense filed a bill of excep-
tions, after the otion for a new trial
and the motion for an arrest of judg-
ment had been denied, and Judge
Dunno granted a certificate of propable
cause upon which Schmitz will go to
the district court of appeals for new
trial.
As the last words TO the sentence fell
from the judge's lips the great crowd
that had stood throughout the dramatic
scene sent up thunderous cheer.
Attorney Fairall of the defense. rails
ing his voice above the din, called out
to Judge Dunno:
your honor, this cheering is a very
unseemingly occurrence.
"Well," retorted Judge Dunno, with
spirit, "if we had a sheriff worthy the
name it would have been stopped in
stantly.
Sheriff Thomas O'Neill was stand
ing inside the rail. He turned to the
court and protested:
Nobody could have stopped that
your honor"
T b dramatic atmosphere wal
heightened by a staff of newspapers
photographers who exploded fiashligh
