RICH GOLD INDICATIONS On
THE S1LvEB sTAR PROPERTY

The range Of hills directly opposite
Wonder to the west is giving constantly
growing promise of becoming the dis
trict's most productive gold bearing Sec
ton. The latest property to fall into
line with rich gold indications is that of
the Silver Star Mining company. which
owns several claims adjoining the Cap
ital group. Some time ago the company
started a shaft on the western side of
the hill. This shaft was sunk go feet
without encountering sensational values.
Prospecting was started on the east side
Of the hill about a week ago. A ledge
was found, and the sample Of rock taken
across it on the surface yielded assays
Of from $50 to 1914. About $3.50 of the
latter assay was in gold. The company
has formulated plans for the rapid and
extensive development of this new ledge,
which, it is believed, will maxi this
property one Of the most productive in
the district.
In line with the Silver Star are the
Nevada Golden Wonder. the Black Rock,
the Badger group. and the Ajax. all OF
which have doomed into prominence dur
ing the last six months because of the
heavy percentage of free gold in the
rock. Quartz taken from the Golden
Wonder, one of the closest Of the ada
cent properties. showed values of $3.50
to the ton. all of which. with the ex-
ception of about $50 in silver, was free
gold. Most of the companies holding
ground on this range of hills are await
ing Improvement in the general imam
cial conditions before starting the ex-
~tensive development their properties de-
serve. The people here are confident
that when this work is inaugurated on
a big scale there will be a great produc-
ton in this section of the district

Nh. scxwAs c1uz1xx DECEIVED

- 0@O..s.0
That was a great knock Charles M.
Schwab gave Nevada when he arrived in
this city yesterday. Surrounded by
newspaper men at the Paramount Hotel,
he said:
II and my friends have invested a
great deal in Nevada, but no more will
we send there. We nave had thing mis-
represented to us. The east is sore on
Nevada. I recently told some Nevada
men in New York that we could not de-
pend on what they said. and wanted no
more Nevada dealings"
No doubt Mr.. Schwab has said things
in the east. and no doubt Nevada has
been greatly injured by the things he
and others have said about the way Ne
vada mining promotions and actual min
ing enterprises have been managed. Mr..
Schwab's statements will not be ques-
toned. When he says that misrepre-
sensations were made to him the world
will believe. Other men have been de-
ceived as to Nevada mines, more's the
pity. There is nothing extraordinary in
the story.
Neither is there anything very broad
minded in the steel kings attitude, nor
does his tale of VOC keep pace with his
reputation as a wide-awake business
man. AS one of the very wisest of
American business men. the adviser Of
a kaiser and a car, Mr.. Schwab might
have been expected to take care of him
self in a mining excitement, and, how
ever culpable it may have been to de-
ceive him, he should not attempt to visit
upon all Nevada the sins of the men
who duped him. Mr.. Schwab might just
as well have been plucked in Colorado,
in the cobalt regions, in Mexico or any,
where. He seems to have been overripe.
And If Nevada is being injured by the
conduct of its boosters there is moth
ing very surprising in that. As we SOW,
so shall We reap. Some very tall stories
have been told Of undeveloped proper
ties-stories that derived likelihood
from past performances. And those who
have been deceived have their hatchets
in hand like Mr.. Schwab. But that is
wrong. Mining is a legitimate business.
and Nevada remains the most promising
field for investment of capital in mining
enterprises in the world today. All that
is needed is strict adherence to the rules
of business. Don't believe everything
you hear. but go and see for yourself.
The proof Is there. Nevada will, in all
human probability, produce more gold
this year thar any other state in the
Union, and possibly will double the
product of any other state from mines
that two or three years ago were uncov-
cred. That Is a more important fact
than Mr.. Schwab's plant that he was
deceived.-Mining and Engineering Re
view.

Earl r. Clemens. editor Of the Rhyo-
lite Herald was in Goldfeld this week.
He brought with him samples of the ore
that is being taken from the Phillips and
Moesser lease on the Gibraltar. A small
quantity of the pulp PANIED a string of
colors that formed a wide circle. around
the bottom of the pan. The sample was
taken from the vein that was cut by the
crosscut tunne at a depth of 400 feet
and the quartz assayed $2,160 a tor in
gold. The vein is three feet wide and
is all good milling ores With a little
sorting the ore will run better than 500
a ton.
The ore body was encountered about
500 feet from the mouth of he tunne
and the fortunate leasers have a fortune
in sight. This vein is believed to run
through the ground Of the Golden Scep-
ter and Rhyoliters are much elated over
h discovery as they believe 1t Will
stimulate leasing throughout the dis
trict. especially on the Hayseed, Burro
and Portland properties. as well as on
the Gibraltar.
"Rhyolite is in fine shape" said Mr..
Clemens. Business Is improving and
everybody is cheerful and hopeful for
the future of the district. The Mont
gomery Shoshone mill is treating $50
tons of ore a day. in addition to from
three to seven carloads a week that are
shipped to the smelter from the mine.
The Keane Wonder mill, the first plant
Of the kind in Death Valley. started up
this week and plans have been completed
for the mill to be erected or the Home
stake ground. The Geld Bullfrog Cyan
ide plant also started up a few days ago
and it is believed. will be a success.
Work on the foundation for the Gold
Bar mill is going ahead rapidly.
A the Mayfiower mine the manage
ment expects to break into the ore body
on the 5O0-foot level almost any day.
The vein was opened up in fine shape on
the 40O-foot level. The new tunnel on
the Golden Scepter has cut a new body
of highly mineraIized quartz, rs feet
wide. This is an entirely new ledge and
will be thoroughly explored after the
tunnel reaches the Hobo vein, for which
it is aiming and which is known to car
ry good values"
Mr.. Clemens returned to Rhyolfte
Wednesday. He has recently started
publication of a newspaper at Lee. Inyo
county. California. 1t is a breezy. well
edited sheet and gives all the news of
the Lee-Echo district.

The last shipment OF the Pittsburg-
Liberty ore from the mine in the Ma
sonic district averaged slightly over
81, 900 the ton after the smelter and
freight charges were paid. TIL returns

and they show that the shipment con-

net amount due the Pittsburg-Liberty
company after the smelter charges were
paid vas s17.2ss.o2. The freight charges
on the ore from Minden to the smelter
were $2s.65 the ton. The Pittsburg-

PROTECTS KOREAN FORESTS.
Japan is Applying Latest Methods to
Husband Timber.

Washington.-Luke E. Wright, Unit
ed States ambassador to Japan, has
forwarded to the state department de-
tails of the cooperative agreement be-
tween the Japanese and Korean gov
ernments outlining plan for the use
of forests in the Yalu and Tumen val
leys. The plan is similar in many
ways to the methods of the United
States in developing the national for
ests of this country under the admin
istration of the forest service.
The decision of the Japanese gov
ernment to apply methods Of forestry
to the use of the forests of Korea Is
given especial attention because it is
said that the matter of a large timber
concession by Russia to a corporation
was one of the Interior causes Of the
declaration of war between the two
countries. Before Korea came under
the rule of Japan its timber resources
were being rapidly depleted by waste

Japan's plan for the management Of
the timber lands of Korea is to estab-
lish in the next five or six years nine
model forests in the neighborhood Of
the cities of Seoul, Pingyang and
Taiku. The capital for this enterprise
is about $60O.O one-half of which is
to be furnished by the Korean govern
