the time Of the flooding Of those mines
in 1882 The pumping of these mines
will also uncover the lower levels OF
the Caledonia, ChOlIar, POtOsi and
others, where important discoveries
are looked for.
In the extreme southern end Of the
county, in lower Gold Hill, and at the
northern end of Silver City, several
old mines that had not been operated
in several years have been recently
opened up and are producing regularly
One of these, the Overland, is turning

and has good prospects Of doing better
in the future.
In Silver City also there has been
quite q revival This camp is older
than the Comstock and has turned out
about $40, 600, 900, but because Of the
lower levels being flooded, mining there
has been nothing more than q surface
proposition for many years. New men
and money arc coming in, and a heavy
increase in the output is reckoned On
for the coming year.
On the COmStOck proper an import
ant thing has been the re-entrance Of
Clarence MaCkey, who is putting back
into the lode some Of the great wealth
taken out Of it by his father. A 100
stamp mill has been erected at the
Yellow JOcket mine, and extensive ope
ratiOns in that property may be looked
for during the coming year.
The ODhir mine continues to be, as
it has for several years past the best
producer in the camp. 1t averages reg
uiaTly about $1,000 a week, but the re-
cent discovery of a large body Of high
grade in an unexpected quarter will
doubtless increase this appreciably.

One of the very active properties of
the Alta district is the Alta & Hecia
mine. which is owned and controlled
by Salt Lake and Michigan mining
men. A great deal has been accom-
plished by this company in the past
six months. They have erected surface
buildings consisting Of a company
boarding house, blacksmith shop, etc.
The most important developments
are being made in the Never Sweat
tunnel, in which have been encountered
fine bodies Of sulphide ore. The deYeI-
opment campaign has been under the
direction of Manager George H. Wat-
son. with c. II. Gabrielson mine SUPER
intendent.
The board OF directors of the COM
pany consists Of Herman Bamberger,
president; Stephen Golding, vice presi-
dent; A. J. Byron, c. H. Gabrielson and
George H Watson.
Manager Watson is confident that the
Alta & Hecla will be a large contribu-
tor of ore to the valley smelters early
in 1908.

ticular form of exploitation, and con-
certed effort, is being made TO drive
wild-catters from THE state. As re-
suit this form of industry has become
all but extinct in Nevada. The last
legislature took steps to remedy the
evil, but public opinion is doing more
to extirpate it than any other single
agency.
Tonopah's New Mills.
Next in importance to Goldfeld has
been the output of TonOpah. The big
TOnopah mine has increased its ton
mage steadily since the day the first
pick was driven into it's surtace, and
the year 1907 witnessed the banner pro-
duction of its history. The stock mar
ket has suffered a decline, in common
with quotations everywhere in the
county, but 'this i'm nOwise represents
the state of affairs in the mines
Several mills were added to the re-
ductiOn capacity of the TonOpah COM
panies, and from now on the net profits
to the stockholders will be far greater
than ever they were. and the output
of the mines in tonnage will also be
largely added to, the mines being in a
position to get returns from their low
grade ore.
BuIIfrog has witnessed an improve
ment in this regard. The 10O-stamp
Montgomery ShoshOne mill is now in
operation, and four other mills are
either i'm course of construction or be-
ing planned.
One of them is a custom mill, which
will afford small producers an oppor-
tunity to have their output handled
at living rate. This camp. like all
other Nevada mining districts, has SUI
fered severely, but with the adventsoi
three railroads, in the past few months
competition is now assured, and this
with the introduction of local reduction
plants. insures the future prosperity

eoIdfieId's Tremendous Output.
The past year in GoldfieId, notwith-
standing strikes, smelter hOldups, and
other causes of cut-down in the out
put of gold has been by far the most
prosperous in the history of the camp.
The total output of the district for
the year lyO1 IS estimated at SlO,OUO,UUO
and the dividends for the coming year.
based on the dividends declared, will
amount to $4,2O0,0OO And this i'm the
face of a series of drawbacks OF one
sort or another that for the past year
has kept operations in a state of sus-
pension for nearly one-half the time.
The campshas suffered greatly in the
past from lack of railroad facilities,
and the Goldfield Consolidated has had
plans made for the construction of a
1O0-stamp MILL the construction of
which will begin in the near future. The
company already owns, by purchase,
and is operating the Combination mill,
but this is inadequate to the require
ments of its gigantic output.
IN spite of the various drawbacks be-
fore mentioned this company during the
past year shipped and milled ore
amounting to 81. 1888 tons. OF this, 22,62l
tons were shipped and STA milled.
from which total profits TO the Goldfeld
Consolidated Mines company of $780,
357 80 was derived.
The dividends for October indicated a
net profit to shareholders in Goldfeld
stocks for the coming year of very
close to 100000, and the mine re-
turns for the previous quarter of a
grosss output for the coming year OF
S26, 100000.

securing the money to pay their eX-
pensaS by pounding their ore in NOR
tars. vt is actually a grass-root propo-
sition; that is, ore aSSaying into the
thousands is being taken from the sur

out under guard.
Unlike most of the new camps of Ne
vada, but little attention has been
given TO boosting RaWhide. But
few claims have been sold. 1t seems to
be the aim of the owners to hold their
property, and they are giving leases on
liberal terms to practically any miner
who applies. The result is the camp
is made up practically of leasers, near
ly every one now taking out pay orc.
This statement may sound eXaggeT-
ated to the experienced mining man,
who has often heard these stories. but
has perhaps seldom known of them
being borne out by facts. But these
conditions are known TO actually exist
at Rawhide.
Fallon is the distributing point of
Churchill county, and it is from Fallon
that all supplies for Rawhide and the
surrounding camps are sent.
So Churchill enjoys the unique dis
tinction of being the Hub county of
Nevada. in that its farming ana min
ing interests are equally the largest Of
any county in Nevada. The govern
ment is TO take a hand in advertising
it as the home center within the neyt
year. In this the railroad company is

Five Good Camps in Humboldt.

In Humboldt county, which adjoins
the government is also interested. The
reclamation project embraces chOu-
sands of acres of fertile land in Hum
boldt county, and within the next two
years at the latest it is believed this
county will have felt the effects of the
national aid.
Winnemucca is the county seat. The
county is located in the center IF the
state, and, like its neighbor on the
west, its growth during The Past year
has been greater than during all the
previous time in it's history.
During this time five rich mining
districts, the Seven TrOughs. Vernon,
Mazuma, GOldbanks and Gold Circle
have been brought to public notice. As
many towns have sprung into exist
ence. and all are now prospecting. Win
nemucca and LovelOck are the outfit
ting points.
Lovelock is in the center of the Big
Meadows. one of Nevada's richest as
we'll as best settled farming sections.
The Meadows are under a high state
of cultivation. Alfalfa, hay, grain,
fruit. vegetables, dairy products, cat
tie, boys and sheep are raised here, and
all bring top prices. Two crops of al
falfa are harvested annually. This
year the entire output brought an
average price of SIS per ton, the high
est IN the history of that section.
Thousands of head of cattle and sheep
are fed there each season.
G0lcOnda, on the east of Winnemuc-
ca. is surrounded by rich copper prop
srties. The Glasgow Western compa-
ny. controlled by Scotch capitalists. is
now engaged in making preparations
to reopen its mines and mills, and the
announcement is made that operations

do not know whether Mr.. Braun Is a
practiced musician or not, but 1t does not
matter, for the Estey can be played With
the hands or by means of the self-play-
ing mechanism which is built inside the
case. BY means OF this device the untu-
tored can render the masterpieces OF
music with all the finish and charm of a
Guilimant, or to get little nearer home,
a Kingsley.
1t has not been my pleasure to hear
the organ in question, but q local expert
informs me thatgsin the matter of tone,
nothing better has been produced. This
is especially true in regard to the orches-
trail effects, which are wonderful. In a
small room nothing is more desirable
than this, the orchestral organ being of
a subdued yet round and mellow volume
of tone.
Solid mahogany is used for the casing,
while the display pipes are of dull gold.
The motor and blower are placed in a
special room at the back of the organ
proper. Such an arrangement avoids un-
due noise Of operation and vibration In
the room where listeners are gathered.
Opening off the living room to the east
Is a handsome sun room and south OF
this the music room, in which the Estey

produced on this page shows view ot
the organ from the living room.
1t has always been the endeavor of the
George J. Birkel company to install or
gans In some portion of house where
they will be unobtrusive, and yet where
when played, the effect in the main room
of the house is at it's best. In this In
stance the idea was carried out to per-
fection. Listeners in the living room
enjoy similar tone quality that is ex-
perienced when hearing an orchestra
which is hidden at distance.
