FAVORABLE REPORT ON
EAST WALKER COUNTRY
T. B. Gambel, Mining Engineer Tells About Promising
Mineral Section.

T. B. Gamble, the mineralogist and
mining engineer of San Jose, CAL, has
made a report on the section of country
known as the East Walker district, and
the following is a summary of the re-
port:
II have made careful examination
of the great gold, silver, copper, lead
and coal belts in western Esmeralda
county and southern Lyon county. 1t is
found that in the Dutchman Creek dis
trict. which is about 40 miles from the
California line, the formation is granite
and porpiiyry, the porphyry dikes cut
ting through the granite. The granite
belt seems to be a Gaping, and on the
hanging walls of these immense por-
ply dikes there are quartz Lodges carry
ing gold, silver and copper, and occa-
sionally lead.
Great values may be found at depth in
any of these lodges, as frequently the
surface showings are rich.
A granite belt also lies on the east
slope of Mount Grant and on the south
west slope of Mount Grant and Cotton
wood Greek the Walker Eange contains
an immense porphyry belt, some four
miles in width by possibly 100 miles in
length. This great belt runs northwest
and southeast, and lies between Walker
Lake and the town of Montelle. The
granite shows up again on the southwest
slope of the Walker Range and there are
undoubtedly large and rich deposits of
copper under the iron Gaping and in
the lime formation There are five large
and well-defned copper lodges running
the entire length of this great belt in
Lyon and Esmeralda counties. The ores
in these lodges are sulphides and there
is trace of zinc, but the coppers are
also chalcocite, bornite, chalcopyrite,
malacholite and carbonates, with once
in while showing of native copper,
silver and gold. The gangue minerals
are borite, calcite, quartz and residual
clay, silica and iron oxide. This is the
formation of the country. 1t is also
found that the bornite has hardness of
and specific gravity of 40. to 5.4 and
contains copper SIS, iron 1914, sulphur
| %. /, and chalcocite the hardness is 25
| 8, specific gravity SIS to So and contains
1913 copper and 20.2 sulphur, with some
times little iron and silver replacing a

MARRIED THE DEVIL s SISTER

A Jefferson City lady decided to scare
her husband, who was quite a hard
drinker, so he would reform. To do
this she procured the costume of devil
he had worn in a masquerade. The next
time the erring spouse came home feel
ing happy, she quickly donned the cos
tune. AS he opened the door, she step
ped forward and said in sepulchral tones:

NEVADA IS POPULAR

1.-The State of Nevada said United
States Senator Nixon, who returned
from Washington last week, is the
most talked of State of any in the Union.
The different mining camps of the State
are talked of in New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago as much or more so than
they are on the Coast, and they are dis
cussed by men who have visited the
camps and are posted on them. During
this Summer an immense number of
people are coming to Nevada with a
view of settling here, and many young
fellows are headed Nevadawards.

when pure, OF copper, SAG; iron, 30.5;
sulphur, 34.9. Tetarahedrite, hardness,
3 to As; specific gravity, ~ to 81; con-
tanning 23.1 sulphur; 2.48 anthony,

ity about S, and consists of 1919 cupric
oxide and 20.2 oxygen. These extracts
are given to show the values of the ores
in the great Yerington copper district.
Attention is called to the fact that ma
tive copper, silver and gold are found in
this district, and have no hesitancy in
recommending to investors, believing
| that it constitutes one of sthe greatest
and most important copper districts in
the State of Nevada.
Regarding the great coal belt in Ne
vada it is found that there is an immense
belt crossing the State easterly and west
erly on line with the numerous hot
springs. This belt crosses the State at
the head of Coal Valley, crossing the
| East Walker River. / have now CON-
pleted a careful examination of the coal
beds lately found in central Nevada and
| find the belt well defined and about 20
feet wide, running easterly and westerly
| with fiat dip. 1t lies between hang
ing wall of sandstone and milestone grit
and footwall of sandstone and con-
glomerate and fire clay This vein can
be traced for a great distance on the
mountain side. The formation is very
much like that of New Mexico in the
coal mining district. The traces of coal
can be found i'll this formation for dis
lance of many miles. In my opinion, at
depth a bed of very fine Ignite coal will
be uncovered which will be a good steam
coal and possiblya blacksmithing coal.
| 1t is believed by Mr.. Gambel, who has
had many years of experience in the
mining field, that these coal deposits of
| Lyon and Esmeralda counties will prove
| to be. valuable in the near future. He is
also of the belief that oil wells will also
be found, and possibly natural gas. He
reports that there is considerable excite
ment about the Coal Valley coal strike,
and is very optimistic regarding the fut-
ure Of Lyon and Esmeralda county's
great mineral deposits and looks for this
country to become the greatest mineral
producer in the State, or any other State.

THE new ROAD
TO USE CUTOFF

The Ogden Standard says rumor,
which is entitled to more than passing
consideration, is to the effect that the
Western Pacific is to use the Ogden-Lu-
Gin cutoff conformity with the Southern
Pacific. AS to how much foundation
there is for this rumor is a matter of con-
lecture, but it is certain that trackage
agreements already entered into between
the two companies have something to do
with it.,
The line surveyed for the Western Pa
cifc for number of miles is in the CEN
trail part of the State. 1t is said in rail-
road circles that the new line will use
the line of the Southern Pacific from
Wells to Deeth, Nevada, distance of 20
miles. If trackage agreement is en-
tered into here it is not at all unlikely
that other parts of the line will be used,
especially where the two lines come to-
gether, and a great saving will result by
using the one roadbed
Near Deeth the line of the Western
Pacific crosses the Southern Pacific and
connects at Oroville by route further
north than the old pioneer line. There
is strong probability that the Western
Pacific will use the Southern Paci6c's
tracks through Palisade Canyon also, al
though no definite information has been
given out.
The Western Pacific already has built
number of miles of road around the
southern shores of the Great Salt Lake,
and this fact is rather against the idea OF
that company using the Ogden-Lucin
cutoff conformity, but in case an agree
ment is reached between the two COM
panies it is not at all unlikely that the
southern road could be used as branch
line to tap certain Nevada mining dis
tricts.
Work on the Western Pacific is being
rushed from both ends, and the Utah
Construction Company is as busy as a
hen with two dozen chicks in making
the dirt fly. This Ogden concern has
extensive contracts and intends to conf
plete them. as soon as possible.

The snowfall reports for January, from
most of the stations, indicate that there
is more of the average of snow in the
mountains. This is especially true of
the ranges in the drainage areas of the
Truckee and Walker Rivers. In the
drainage area of the Humboldt River the
amount of snow on the ground at the
end of January was very small in the
valleys, but averaged about IS inches in
the mountains. The valleys of the
Truckee River drainage area were COW
cred with snow to the average depth of
about 80 inches, while in the mountains
the average depth was about IS inches.
Near the head waters of the Carson and
Walker Rivers the amount of snow aver
aged about 100 inches in the mountains
while in the valleys it was practically
nothing. Over the drainage area of the
Reese River the snow on the ground
amounted to about 3 or inches in the
valleys and to about 36 inches in the
mountains.
1t is the general opinion of the OBJ
servers that the snowfall, so far this
season, is greater than the amount to
the same date of last year, and that the
resulting water-fow this year will be
correspondingly greater and will exceed
the usual amount.

LOOKING FOR CROOK

Henry Mcleod, constable at Nina, was
in from there this week looking for a
crooked waiter who had absconded with
the receipts of chop stand at that place.
The man was here Sunday but the Off
GERS did not hold him owing to some
misunderstanding regarding the issu-
ance of warrant. Mcleod, therefore,
had to return to Nina Thursday without
his man.

SCHUYLER FAVORS THE DAM
BUT SOLONS WILL FIGHT

| with the report of the committee
tabled Mr.. Holloway then asked for
an appropriation of TWO Hundred
Thousand Dollars (s20O,OOO) water gen.
eral.' The House believing that he
would expend 1t in the way that he
was directed to do by the Legislature,
passed this appropriation, In view Of
! Tie unanimous adoption of the COM
mittee report the House could never
have supposed that Mr. Holloway
would take the money which 1t had
voted for the purpose of securing a
supply of pure spring water to do the
very thing which 1t had refused him
permission to do, but as soon as the
Legislature adjourned Mr. Holloway
took the matter into his own hands
and openly violated the express direc-
tions of the House by taking the money
which was appropriated for the secur-
ing of pure spring water to the build,
ing of this reservoir in Nuuanu valley,
which the House had refused to sanc-
ton. Such a high handed procedure
ought to subject Holloway to impeach,
ment and the work should have been
stopped at its very inception by in
junction. No one. however, seemed
to want to take the initiative and so
the peoples money has not only been
spent in direct violation of the Legis-
lature, but If the reports are true with
reference to the construction OF this
dam, II has been squandered, and worse
than ALL life and property jeopardized
to a frightful extent
Mr., Holloway's purported statement
that II was the committee only, who
turned down the appropriation for
Nuuanu dam, Is not true, as the COM
mittee report was unanimously adopt,
ed by the House OF Representatives OF
the last Legislature. and close by say
ing that the next Legislature will sift
this matter TO the bottom, and ask
that all operations In connection with
this Nuuanu dam be suspended until
that time"
WHAT SCHUYLER WAS ASKED.
The points that are to be covered
by the experts report are;
/. Are the plans and specifications,
as drawn by MIR. Walker and approved
by Mr. Rowland and Mr.. Holloway OF
the Public Works Department. for a
reservoir In Nuuanu valley. commonly
known as the Nuuanu dam. complete
In every detail?
2 Are all the alterations suggested
by Mr. Kellogg being carried out?
B. Is the work at the Nuuanu dam
In It's present state OF construction,
proper and safe?
L. IL the dam Is completed under
the present plans and specifications,
will II be safe2
D. Your opinion upon the efficiency
OF the dam when completed?
The Hawaiian gazette., 1907-04-23

All reports are to the effect that thu
finding of Expert Schuyler on the Nuu
anu dam will commend the scheme o
building a reservoir at that point ant
will also report that the structure IA
built is q safe one. This will not heao
off the wrath of the members against
the dam, however.
The attack ia to be made now, not
on the dam itself but on the manner
in which the contract was let, the
manner in which the public money has
been wasted and the fact that there is
no guarantee before the House that the
further appropriation of $4,000 asked
for will not also be frittered away in
piling dirt where the stream can wash
it back again and putting in pipes that
have to be built over again.
A warm attack may also be expect
ed upon the Governor, for going against
the expressed wishes of the Legislature
of 1905, and against the Superintend-
ent of Public Works for diverting APP.
preparations from one purpose to an
other. One of the members has a pro-
test from s. Mahelona, the chairman
of the Public Lands committee of the
1905 House to read to the House, in
which 1t is stated that Superintendent
Holloway should be impeached for his
share in the dam affair. a part of this
protest says:
while there is so much talk with
reference to the insecurity of the Nuu-
anu dam creating an impression in the
community that there has been official
corruption and graft, there Is one very
important matter of which the public
should be reminded and which makes
the building of the dam by the Super
intendent of Public Works, IL not al
together illegal at least a fragrant
breach of faith on the part OF that
official. During the session OF the las,
Legislature when an attempt was be.
ing made to secure Government con-
troll of the waters of the valleys OF
Manoa, Pluoa, and Kalihi, a resolution
was introduced at the instance of Mr.
Holloway through Lilikalani 10 insert
In the appropriation or loan bill the
