DARING HIGH GRADE RAID.

During Thursday night last a dar-
ing and successful raid was made by
thieves on the Seven Troughs Fair
view mine, the thieves obtaining ore
estimated to be worth from $4,000 to
$4,000.
In a crosscut In the Fairview a
bulkhead had been built to protect
some high grade, The maaraders
entered the shaft in the night during
the intermission between the night
and morning shifts and descended
the long ladders 10 the 240-foot level,
where they tore out the bulkhead and
removed the ore, carrying it in sacks
as they again assembled the ladders.
They dared not start hoist, As the
putting of the engine would have
aroused nearby sleepers.
Superintendent Friedman says
there Is no way OF determining the
exact value of the ore taken, but he
estimates II at the amount stated
above. The criminals left no. clue
as to their identity. but every effort
is being made to detect them Mazu-

STRIKE ON HAPPY
CREEK A Big one

A. B. Connolly, who is well known
in mining circles in the southern and
eastern part Of the state, and who at
present is suing the Sullivan & Rice
Brokerage company for an interest
in the Rich Gulch mines at Wonder,
has just completed an inspection of
the mining properties at Happy
creek. Mr.. Connolly, accompanied
by c. II. Breffle, returned to Win
nemucca today and has much praise
for the new gold camp to the north
west.
Happy creek is situated eighty
miles northwest of Winnemucca on
the eastern slope of the Jackson
creek range of mountains. 1t is
about fifteen miles south of Quinn
river crossing.
The main strike SO far has been
made OF the Tough Nut group, the
property Of Breuce & Goodwon of
Goldfeld. The vein on this property
is from two to six feet in width at
the surface and is of a lime quartz
formation carrying hematite OF iron
and free gold. Assays on the prop
erty run from $40 to $500. Country
rock on either side is composed of
white basalt and granite.
A shaft is now being sunk on the
ledge of the Tough Nut and will be
driven to a depth OF 100 feet, when
prosecuting will be commenced.
Quite a rush has followed the dis
eovery and eight or ten camps have
sprung up in the immediate vicinity.
A point of interest in connection
with the views of Mr.. Conley on
the Happy creek strike is the fact
that he believes the mineral there
to be a continuation of the same belt
that runs through Rosebud and Sew
en- Troughs.-Daily Silver State.

VERNON Mines
GO AFTER DEPTH
DISTRICT HAS BEEN PROVED UP
WITHIN THREE HUNDRED
FEET.

The mining basin tributary to
Vernon is alive with deep mining pro-
jects following the development of
the Fairview or Seven Troughs mine,
which has proved the territory of this
region to a depth of almost 800 feet.
The recent strike of high grade and
shipping ore on the 2S0-foot level of
phenomenal quality and quantity, is
considered SO far n of the most inn
p~ortant events in the history of the
district. 1t has resulted in a de-
cision of the company to sink 500 feet
without prosecuting or stopping and
has persuaded numerous companies
and leasers into deeper mining pro-
jects.
Stories brought out of the mine
concerning conditions on the $50
foot level seem almost incredible, but
the specimen ore shown about the
camp of late bears out every state
ment. Visitors describe a vein of ore
from IL to IA feet wide containing
five inches of rock worth from $40 to
$40 a pound, 20 inches additional of
high grade shipping ore and the re-
mainder of the vein first-class mill
ing ore.
The Fairyiew grounds are rapidly
forging to the front as a center of
great activity. The Monnette-Truet
lease recently installed a gasoline
hoist within 400 feet of the Fairview
hoist, and is down 1870 feet and will
not crosscut until the 200-foot level
is reached. The Detch-Harris lease
will have a gasoline hoist installed
in a few weeks. A depth here of so
feet has been gained from which the
formation is being crosscut. AS soon
as the hoist is installed the shaft
will continue down to the 2J0-foot
level.
The determination to penetrate
into the sulphide zone before looking
into the contents of their veins has
seized a host of mine owners in this
vicinity. The Distli Mining company
has a whim and is down $50 feet and
will go so feet further before look
ing into the vein. Manager Hawk
will have the machinery on the
ground of the anne company within
a short time for a deep shaft.

land,
Where black masquerades as white,
Where the clearest facts that we UNI
derstand
Are gloomy and dense as night;
o fare with me meath the insane
trees
In the forest Of tech-ni-cal-ities.
Come let us sail DER the gibberish

Where the lie birds are plumaged

Where nothing's the truth. so each
agrees,
And every ones touched in the

0 come where the dippy fishes sport
And the wheel Drained cuttlefish
chuckle and snort.
Let your ego fit to the dreary plain
Where the straightjacket fits all

Where the technical terms descend

And the doctors converse in

Or come where the |brainstorm sweeps

While the expert witness smokes

Encounter Rich Ore
in Denver BuIIfrOq


The strike that was made a few days ago N the Denver mine
OF the Tramps Consolidated has turned out to be much greater
than was at first supposed.
senator T.. l.. Oddie is in receipt of a communication from w.
D. Blackmer, general manager of the property, that the ore body
which was encountered, has wdened out to five feet, and that the
average assays go from $50 to $50 a ton. One sample, and 1t
was not a picked sample either, went 1907 to the ton.
This is fine news from the Bulfrog district, and will be re-
ceWed with great interest in Philadelphia and other places in the
east, where much of the stock is held, as well as that Of many,
other Bullfrog properties.
Bullfrog has not been very much behind in the matter az
strikes, and 1t is a pleasure to see the district preserving her
reputation for good ore bodies.

RICH GOLD STRIKE.
Good Values ON Property Near Fair

1ood values on properly Near Falf-
view Peak.
Sampson Bros, who are owners in
the well known Gold Crown groups,
better known as the Port & Sampson
property, have been in camp this
week with samples OF ore from their
new strike about six miles from town,
southeast Of Fairview Peak. The
specimens from the new discovery
are most promising; the values are
in gold entirely, and ass
says have returned as much as $500,
while no less than 80 ounces Of the
yellow metal is the maxim assay.
These e locations of the persist
ent prospectors were made several
months ago. and before the property
was opened up to any extent a bond
was given for thirty days; a few days
later sensational discoveries were
made, and the owners managed to
preserve the utmost secrecy about the
values until the expiration of the
bond. As the bond has run out there
is no longer any reason for secrecy.
and the owners came in to fit out for
development work. They went back
to the property this morning, taking
a big outfit Of provisions, water, etc,
and will proceed to sink a deep shaft
without further delay.
The vein ON this new property,
which is known as the Sheep Camp
group, has the same general trend
as the rich veins of the district on
this side of the peak-northwesterly
and southeasterly. IT has been open
ed in four places with crosscuts on
the surface and shallow shafts. The

A Rcnl RcylynIIst Coming.

It Is generally conceded by even
the professed Christian, muchless the
philosophical outsiders, that Of all
things most needed in Amarillo just
now, Is a genuine shaking up reyi-
val of vital Christian rellgions--of
the John Wesley kind. Financial
prosperity, especially land booms,
are too often detrimental to religious
devotion. The people, as in days Of
old, become proud and forgetful at
the very time they should be the
most humbly thoughtful and thank
full.
To meet the exegency we learn
that the non-sectarlan services of
evangelist A. u. Jeffries has been Sc
curqd, for several days, beginning on
the night of the 18th of June. Pos
slblyc more devoted preacher could
have been chosen, nor one who could
command more the respect and sup
port OF the various denominations.
He rarely falls Of most pronounced
awakening wherever he breaches and
never when he has the full co-opera-
ton of the churches. He Is just now
through most wonderful revival at
Kansas City. His time can be spared
only in the more important places,
so our people should take advantage
of this unusual opportunity.
Let the meetings be talked about
to advertise it as well as may be,
that all may have chance to attend
the hallelujah services. Revival
hymns will be used and everybody al
lowed to testify and to shout too, as
for that matter, as the spirit moves
them, and many there will be to do
so. Preferably a temporary taber-
nacle will be erected, on some eligi-
bic lot, so as to approach nearly as
may be the old camp meeting, free
