the oriental and the occidental, the old
man and the child, find in him equally
the one who can sympathize, satisfy
and assist. We have outgrown almost
everything that came to us out of the
ancient world, but when we look at
Christ he is still the one unapproached
and unsuperseded.
Christ is forever the fixed and un-
changing pattern and model of man.
Without him we should not have known
our noble lineage, our unfathomed pos
slbilities, our glorious destiny, neither
should we have had the true ideal of
life. He is the truest interpreter of man
that man has ever known. He is like
wise the only true interpreter of God.
The one question which the world has
asked, regarding the character of God,
Christ answered when he showed us a
perfect human life and brought us the
message of Gods love from Gods own
heart. When l look upon the simple,
loving, sympathetis, ever helpful, in
terested, heroic and conquering life Of
Christ and remember that he said he
that hath seen me hath seen the Father,
then l learn that the best picture Of
God l can get in this world is a true
human life, and this satisfies me- If
these things be true, then he who
would give an element of power truth
and permanency to his life should ever
seek to link his life with the one who
becomes the foundation Of everything
that abides."

Expiration of Lease on the Famous
Mohawk Mine--Activity on Jumbo
Leasing and Development
company's Property

All of the principal leases on the
famous Mohawk mine at Goldfield,
New, have expired and the Mohawk
Mining company has assumed charge
with a full complement Of men. Nine
leases have produced $9,00O,0OO in nine
months on one mine, showing that the
total is unequaled in the history of
mining. There are thirteen cars
loaded with Goldfeld ore valued al
81, 100000 en- route to the Selby Smeltel
at Vallejo junction., Cal. Each cal
contains 100000 pounds of the precious
| metal, which is carefully sacked. II
every piece of ore specimens of golc
can be seen and plenty of it.
On the Jumbo Leasing and Devel-
opment company's lease work is pro-
crossing rapidly with two shifts of men
at work. They have passed the 200
foot level and ore is increasing in value
with every foot of depth attained. No
drifts, however, will be run until a
depth of 400 feet is reached at which
point a cross-cut will be run so as to
encounter the three lodges that ira
verse this lease from the adjoining
producing leases.
The controlling interest of the Daisy
mine at Diamondfield is about to pass
into other hands. Colonel o. p. Posey,
the Utah smelter millionaire, and his
partner, William Bayley of New York,
have secured an option on 100000
shares of the stock from Frank E.
Horton, who Is the president and owner
of the Daisy Mining company. This
mine bids fair to equal any of the
properties in or about the Goldfield dis
trict.
Owing to the delay of freight con-
signed to the East Comstock Wonder
Mining company at Ramsey the ma
chinery and ore sacks have not yet
been received. AS soon as these are
received another shipment will be
made. Additional men have been put
to work timbering up the drifts and
getting the property in a mine like
shape. This stock has been listed on
the San Francisco and Goldfield stock
exchanges.

Special to The Herald
MANHATTAN, New, Jan. 2O--Man-
haitian is ono OF the most optimistic
mining camps in Nevada. It has been
steadfastly growing in favor month by
month and those who have stood by
the Pine Tree camp the past year are
shaking hands with each other and
congratulating themselves.
The growth of Manhattan has been
almost as phenomenal as the growth of
Goldneld and values have doubled over
and over again until now they show
large fortunes from small investments.
During July, 1905, four separate par
ties of prospectors left Rye Patch,
down the Ralston valley, looking for
new fields to conquer; they were all
old mining prospectors, some with
from 40 to 30 years experience. They
prospected the ranges of this district
for a distance of over twenty-five
miles and finally staked their fortunes
on mining locations made in the Man
haitian district.
Each of the prospectors located three
claims, all they wanted, although they
had an opportunity to stake thirty to
forty, If it was only more acreage
they desired, as the entire country for
ented claims was vacant. These old
prospectors secured the very best and
every claim located by them shows
evidence of rich naturalization. Now
every square foot of territory for
miles around is located and claims are
being bought and sold by spectators
until they are held at very high prices
Three Claims Sold
One of these old miners, who was
one of the original four parties that
discovered Manhattan, has just sold
his three claims. together with the
three fractions, to a syndicate of Los
Angeles business men, consisting OF
j. Frost Hubbard, j. Boyd Stewart. +,
A. Mcdonald, Harry Johnson and A
b. Mcdonald, for consideration said
to be $4,000. Their engineer, who re-
ported on this property, says that 1t
was a good buy at 100000.
There are two parallel lodges cross
ing the property from the old Manhat-
tan patented group that are only about
100 feet apart, and extend for miles In
westerly direction, with it's huge out
groupings very apparent. Seventy
thousand dollars is said to have beer
extracted from one shaft on the pat
ented group out of one pocket in
single day.
purchased the patented group and are
preparing to equip 1t with a mill
Quite n little bit of work has beer
done on the Wisconsin group and very
high values have been found One Of
the lodges shows values that run over
800 per ton in hemitite of iron and the
old-timers here in Manhattan consider
that the Los Angeles syndicate has
secured one of the very best proper
ties in Manhattan.
Hank Wren ct al, owners OF the
Jumbo group, adjoining the Wisconsin
group on the north. are doing consider
able work on their property and are
meeting with encouraging indications
AS soon as the railroad is COM
pleted to Manhattan this group will
enjoy one of the biggest booms that
has visited a Nevada mining camp
and 1t is the general opinion that the
prices will double within thirty days
after the entry of the new road.

MINES IN VENTURA COUNTY
Valuable Deposits of Borax Owned by
the American Borax Mines
Company

w. L. Davis, mining expert, has
made a highly favorable report on the
borax property of the American Mines
company of 353 Huntington building,
Los Angeles, the holdings of the COM
pany being located in Ventura county.
In their circular the company say:
1--WE are owners of properties sit
uated in one of the most profitable,
productive, producing borax fields in
the known world. In no single in
stance has there been n failure for
capital and labor employed. All prop
critics on our same strike have been
profitable from the first inceptions.
Each and every successive foot has
but proved a greater and expanded
wealth to it's owners, which has placed
this field in the peculiar situation of
being the richest and truest producer
of unlimited borax of the highest quail
ity ever known. At no stage of de-
velopment has there been cause for
disappointment and a degree of secre-
cy has been maintained to keep the
wealth of these deposits and this dis
trict from becoming known, the pur-
pose to be enabled to locate, prospect
and control by the two large operating
corporations of all the borax deposits
in that locality"
The American Borax Mines company
is Incorporated for conservative
amount and but comparatively few
shares are offered for sale.

SCOTTYS MYSTERY
MINE IS LOCATED
Bonanza Placer Property Is on the West Side OF
Death Valley Oh Panamint Range

The location Of Walter Scott's source
of wealth Is no longer a mystery. The
great secret has at last been revealed.
The mine has been discovered by plac-
ing careful description of the prop
erty on record in San Bernardino
county.
Referring to the filing of the papers
for record, the Index says the mine is
q placer proposition. No other could
have brought the quick results which
followed Scotty's sensational dives into
the Death valley country, and it's loca-
ton shows that the Death valley mys-
terry, with characteristic shrewdness so
completely covered up it's location, that
all the miners who have gone in search
of the wonderful store of wealth have
searched the east side of the valley in
the Funeral mountains, instead of the
west side, where the mine located in
the Panamint range.
Scotty's caves and other camps were
found, but at best they were quickly
recognized as only temporary affairs.
The officers visited the caves at the
time of the Wingate pass ambuscade.
Scotty had maintained that his mine
was near fine spring of water, anc
| every convenience that could be got
into the desoate country was his. He
| said he could sweep the country for
miles with his German field glass, and
could cover the only approach to the
mine with rifles for a long distance.
Sheephead Mine Is Name
The location of the Sheephead mine,
for that is the name of the world
famous hole in the ground, would seem
to bear out Scotty's original statement,
made to an Index reporter at the height
of the miners notoriety.
The complete description of the Sheep
head claim shows that whatever may
be the real value of the claim, great
pains have been taken to make it
secure. as it has been surveyed and is
located according to an engineers notes.
This is extraordinary, as even the most

BULLYCHOOP BIG PRODUCER

Announcement is made that recent
developments in the Bullychoop mine
are showing up a fine property. A
vein of rich ore four and a half feet
wide was recently struck in the big
2S-foot ledge. The plant is in opera
ton and works as well as can be ex-
pected. 1t will take some little time
for everything to work to the best
advantage. The big thirty-stamp mill
has made a trial run and we are re-
liably informed that the plates in the
batteries were good to look upon.
The present company has expended
over 100000 in equipment, develop
ment, etc, and has opened up an ex-
ceedingly valuable property The
company IS a strong one and has the
ability and financial backing to make
Bullychoop the best producing prop
erty in northern California

Ernest Kennedy and associates have

now being worked and a large amount
OF capital Is being invested in the

being entirely different from that of
Goldfield. The minerals are princi-
pally silver, lead and gold. There have

Scotty's Mysterious Wads

to suit the average prospector. by the
nearest landmarks.
Scotty's Mysterious Wads
Since Scotty leaped into the limelight
of notoriety on account of the great
size of his roll of greenbacks there has
been an abundance of speculation as to
where the mill was located. Old pros
pectors said Scotty never shipped any
ore out of the desert. Yet, at irregular
intervals, he would plunge into that
desolate region, from either Barstow or
Daggett, and sometimes with only one
mule to carry water and provisions.
Scarcely week would lapse before he
would return to civilization, apparently
once more rolling in greenbacks. His
money was always currency. He has
been known to make the trip, about
ninety miles, on foot in three days each
way, with pack mule as sole company.
People doubted the mine, but Scotty
always had the mazuma. Some people
were cruel enough to say he did not
spend much money. That may be true,
but he spent more than could be earned
by mere idling about the desert.
A. NJ. Johnson, the man who for
warded the location from Chicago, is a
we'll known mining man who recently
accompanied Scotty's caravan into the
desert. Johnson was also a member of
the party that figured in that historic
affair of the desert, THE Ambuscade
at Windy Gap" Scotty was on the way
to the desert with party of mining
men, presumably to show them his
mine.
They were ambushed in Windy Gap
and Scotty's brother was seriously
wounded. Scotty was suspected Of
cooking up the ambuscade in order to
turn the party back. He was arrested
but subsequently discharged on the
ground of on-jurisdiction, as the affair
occurred In Inyo county.
The location notice is the first Scotty
has ever put on record

is shown very distinctly on the Flor
ida mine where the limestone lies in
almost horizontal planes and the vein
is, vertical, cutting through at right
angles.
THE Florida mine has been produc-
ing almost steadily for the past thirty
years, but owing to the lack of trans
portation facilities nothing but the
highest grade of ore could be worked
at profit, which resulted in gopher
ing, or gouging out the rich ore shoots
The oxide zones close to the surface
were worked out in this manner while
ore continued. AS depth was reached
little or no work was done on account
of the lack of proper machinery to
carry off the water. The ore zone
is about ten feet in width and the
two principal shoots show a length
of 100 feet. A cross cut at the bottom
Of the shaft shows up four feet of
ore, averaging $57 to the ton, thereby
proving the continuation of the ore
shoots. The mill which was erected
by the former company was built more
in the nature of testing plant. This
plant proved that the ore can be
handled at low cost on the ground
by stamp milling, or rolls followed by
concentrators, and then shipped to the
smelters. BY careful management the
Florida, as well as a number of other
properties in or about Ida, can be
developed into paying propositions"
