MARKET HIGH GRADE ORE.

So much has been said about Ely
being a low-grade camp that the in
formation regarding the Giroux
Consolidated Mines company adver-
Using for teams to haul high grade
ore to the railroad station at Ely.
will be received with much surprise.
but does not come altogether as a
surprise to well informed mining
men here in Ely. 1t has been known
for the last several months that the
Alpha shaft has been in the richest
ore in the camp, in fact the highest
grade ore ever extracted in this ia
nous district, says the Ely Mining
Expositor.
Various people about town have
been displaying large pieces of ma
tive copper taken from the ~1000-foot
level of the Alpha, the deepest shaft
of the Giroux company. Not only is
this shaft producing native copper,
but also great chunks of cuprite.
Cuprite is an oxide of copper and the
text books give It as carrying SO per
cent copper. These minerals, so rich
in copper, are the result of precipita-
ton from the descending solutions,
and are the teachings from the upper
portions of the mamoth vein upon
which 81 much work has been done.
The Giroux company deserves
much credit for its persistent explor-
alton In this shaft, the teaching OF
the upper portion of the vein is a
most favorable sign, for the richness
of almost every copper ore body Is
directly proportionate to the amount
of oxidation and subsequent teaching,
1. e., If 1000 feet of a 8 per cent ore
body is entirely leached of its copper
content (the iron remaining as a res.
idual), and all this copper is red3-
posted between the 1000 and 1900
foot level, this 200 feet should carry
all its 8 per cent plus all the copp,.r
of the 1000 feet. the 200 feet
would theoretically carry IL per cent
copper. This is said to be just the
a sample average on the 100O-foot
level. Therefore, we have a practi-
cal demonstration of a well known
theoretical deduction.
The exact charge for freight and
to Salt Lake is not known,
but it must be nearly SIG a ton. This
charge alone is considered a good
value for a copper ore, in quantity,
to possess. With few exceptions,
copper ore in quantity is seldom of
sufficient grade to stand shipping.
Experience teaches that all mining
camps have their many surprises, and
the shipping in large quantity of
Giroux ore will come as such to most
people here in Ely. But to those well
informed as to the last few months
development in the Alpha shaft, the
marketing of such a hlgh-grade ore
has been anticipated for some time.

NEXT SHIPPER FROM FAIRv1Ew.

$3.50 81 v >
The Lena property at Fairview has
opened ore which averages SIS
across two feet of the vein, with as
says running up to 1927. The val
ues are about one-third gold and two
thirds silver which is the usual aver
age of Fairview mines. The find is
in the vein which crosses the Cyclone,
Lena, Golden Boulder and Drome-
dairy Hump properties, all of which
are well known.
Continual prospecting by Manager
Frank Corrall has disclosed a portion
OF the vein I've one hundred feet
long which gives shipping values.
The vein is faulted like the Nevada
Hills but the faults are only about
100 feet apart and throw each section
twelve feet out of the regular course
which is about the width of the vein.
The faults make the vein, when
drawn on paper look like the teeth of
a rip saw. The values are higher at
the faults and since they are so near
together it is believed the vein will
contain ore for several hundred feet
along the faulted section.
The tunnel driven TO cut under the
ore opened on the surface is being
pushed with two shifts. 1t is now
in 100 feet and will cut under the
rich ore when in about 26O feet.
This will give over 100 feet of stop
ing ground and further depth will be
gained continually as the tunnel pro-
crosses.
Near the mouth of the tunnel
thirty feet of quartz which averaged
SIS per ton vas encountered. 1t has
not yet been determined whether this
was a portion of the main vein or a
cross vein. 1t shows a large body of
mill ore which will be available when
mills are installed in the Fairview
district.
The strike was made on the Lena
No. 6 of the Lena Nevada Mines
company which owns the Lena No.
4, 5 and 6 claims, sixty acres in the
center of the Fairview district. The
claims were some of the original To-
cations of F. o. Norton of Reno, and
were held by him in preference to a
large number of others in Fairview
which he sold.
In February last the company was
incorporated, the owners of the
claims, F. o. Norton, C. S. Wilson
and l.. E. G. Hinckley, all of Reno,
taking stock as compensation. Later
a half interest in the stock was sold
to Claud Sachs and w. S. Tarbell of
Colorado Springs. Development
work has been going on steadily and
has proved the Lenas to be one of
the best groups in Fairview. The
property has many more veins I'M
prospected and it is predicted with
development, will rank second to the
Nevada Hills in the Fairview district.

The Silver State News has promised
its readers to follow a consistent pol
icy in the handling of news and edit
orial matter, irrespective of whom =
may concern. In matters relating to
the public good personalities will be
eliminated and only that phase con
sidered that bears upon the public
good.
Relying now only on the support
which it makes for itself in the way
of being a good newspaper, the Silver
State News is in an admirable posi-
ton to give the news of vital concern
to the public, without regard to wheth-
crer that politician, or this party, or
whoever he may be, will be displeased.
: Following this policy, we have
taken Republicans and Democrats
alike to task, and this alone has been
the reason for news n editorials
concerning the extravaganza of the
present county administration. We
labeled the county administration e

THORNLESS CACTUS WILL BE
THE FODDER OF THE DESERT

If Luther Burbank is right, the
spineless cactus, upon which he has
been experimenting for the past three
years, is practically a reality today.
In speaking before the national irri-
cation congress Mr.. Burbank stated
that he had all but succeeded, and
that the lack of nutrition was now the
only drawback. He predicted that the
thornless cactus would become the
principal foddcr of the arid region.
for all kinds Of stock relish it and
fatten quickly upon it.
About 200 tons can be grown to the
acre, an extraordinary output com
pared with other kinds of feed. The
development of the high nutrition is
being assiduously pursued by Burbank
and the grazing men will soon have
some important news from the
wizard.
A delegate asked Burbank if he had
a secret for developing plant life and
if the secret would die with him.
Burbank replied that he had no Sc
cret and that he is always glad to as
sist others.

LOS ANGELES GIRL
TO MAKE THE COLONEL PAY

Mrs. Blanche Nye Stanton, the
abused wife of Major W. A. Stanton,
passed through Reno to her home in
Los Angeles yesterday and she de
clares that she never again will re-
turn to her aged husband. She
claims that he not only treated her
brutally and beat hos, but that he
one threw a lamp at her and sub
jected her to ~indignities to which she
could not submit, and of which she is
unable to talk.
Mrs. Stanton is a beautiful little
woman and appears to be more of a
man. She declares that she will i'm
mediately bring suit against the major
for a divorce and that she will make
him pay dearly for his abuse.

LIST OF BIG NUGGETS
OF SIERRA COUNTY, CAL.

A copy of the Sierra County Trib-
une of March Is, 1883, gives a list of
the large nuggets found in that coun-
ty, California, up to that time. f. j.
Hauber, of Forest City, has a copy of
the paper and the item in question
reads as follows:
On the 18th of August, 1860, a large
piece of gold was taken from the Mon
umental quartz mine at Sierra Buttes,
which weighed 1896 ounces troy, the
value of which was estimated at from
$2l. 900 to $50, 900. The mine was
owned by William A. Parrish & Co.
The nugget was sold to R. B. Wood
ward of San Francisco for $21,636.52,
and placed on exhibition at Wood
wards garden, where it attracted
much attention. The Monumental
mine has yielded $4,000 worth of
gold at the time of the discovery of
the nugget.
A fine specimen was taken from the
Rainbow quartz mine, Chipp's Flat,
in 1881 1t was taken from a depth
of 200 feet. The especimen was on
exhibition at the office of III. III. Noble,
San Francisco. Later it was shipped
to London and worked there. 1t yield
ed 500, 000.- The total yield of the
Rainbow mine during the last three
years has been 5000, 900.
In 1855 a nugget was found at
French ravine that weighed 532 ounc-
es and was worth $4,000. 1t contain
ed considerable quartz, which is not
calculated L. its weight.
In 1851 at French ravine a nugget
was found which weighed 426 ounces
and was valued ~ar.$8000.
A nugget is reported to have been
found at Minnesota valued at $4,000,

STUDYING MEADOW
WASH PROBLEM
Salt Lake and Hartman Officials Will
Mako Decision Soon

On a special train which reached Los
Angeles last night a party of experts
came to settle the question of the
Meadow Valley wash difficulties on the
Salt Lake road. This is the trouble
some strip in Nevada which suffers in
all transforms.
On the train were w. H. Bancroft,
personal representative Of e. H. Harri-
man. of Salt Lake City; R. e. Wells
and ]. Ross Clark, Los Angeles Of
ficials of the Salt Lake line; William
Hood, Mr.. Harrimans chief railroad
engineer. and E. G. Tilton, chief en-
gineer Of the Salt Lake system.
The losses on construction in the
wash have amounted to several million,
and as the losses happened during the
height of the tourist season the cost
has been enormous.
Whether to elevate the tracks, use
steel yirders and heavy riprap or use
a different route will be settled by
these officials.
The troublesome section is over
eighty miles long and as soon as the
decision is announced-which will be
in a few days-work on the permanent
reconstruction will be commenced.

DEMAND DATA
ABOUT AQUEDUcT
VOTERS WANT TO HEAR OWENS
RIVER FACTS
City Officials and Water Engineers
Are Receiving Invitations to
Address Public and Pri-
vate Bodies

Members of the staff of engineers en-
gagged on the Los Angeles aqueduct
will be busy the next six weeks .ad-
dressing bodies in connection with the
great water project.
Former Mayor Fred Eaton, Superin-
tendent William Mulholland, Assistant
Engineer Lippincott and probably mem
bers of the board of public works will
all be invited to address commercial
bodies, improvement organizations and
clubs of all kinds describing the work
done and to be done.
Members of the party Of city officials
which made the round trip to owens
River valley are also receiving invita-
tions to appear at meetings where in
formation is sought concerning the
bond issue, and all have expressed a
willingness to do all in their power to
help along the big plan.
One point that will be touched on
frequently is the immense possibilities
of developing power out of the flow of
water. These power possibilities have
awakened the opposition of the electric
corporations to the scheme; in fact, the
only opposition known to exist Is from
these sources. Power furnished by the
city will come into direct competition
with existing companies and force a
big cut in rates.
The power which can be developed
out of the San Francisquito canyon
alone will light the city Of Los Angeles
and run all of her Industries. 1t will
yield easily a "peak load" of 10000
horse power. Peak load means the re-
suit of conservation of power during
a portion of the day when demands
are lightest
AS the power at this point cannot be
used till water flows through the aque-
duct minute plans for power plants
have not been made.
Higher up, however, in the streams
of melted snow that flow from the
Sierras immense voltage may be de-
veloped without great cost.
At the head of owens valley now
electric power is being sent east into
the Nevada gold fields. Bishop is light
ed by electricity from that source.
On Cottonwood creek numerous wa
terfalls and twenty-five lakes exist
from which power can be developed
and sent for many miles.
The city proposes to install power
plant early on Division creek and run
feed wires to the line of the ditch and
aqueduct so that steam dredgers can be
converted into electric dredgers. Thus
there will be great economy in the con-
struction work and great saving of
time.

ALL
BILLBOARD MEN
POLICE ARE CARRYING OUT
MAYORS POLICY
Fines Accommodating for Violations VIII
Amount to Large Sum-Daily
Arrests Likely TIL ordi-
nance Is Tested

Mayor Harper has ordered rigid pros
ecution of billboard companies, prop
erty owners and even erectorS or Sign
boads which are. put up in violation OF
the new billboard ordinance.
If there are any flaws in the measure
the police commission wants to know
it and amendments will be inserted.
The policy of the mayor is to stick
a tax on the industry which, If 1t does
not reduce the signboards, will at least
bring good money into the city's strong
box.
The crusade was started by the out
door art societies and is not confined
to Los Angeles by any means. This
city is following the wake of eastern
cities.
The two big companies which place
most of the boards in and near Los
Angeles are lighting for time-the long,
er the fight lasts the more the sign
rentals will bring in.
The city, on the other hand, Will
cause daily arrests if necessary till tho
law is upheld. The accumulated fines
will prove to be a severe blow to the
violators of the law.
The fine for single violations is 5000
and 100 days imprisonment, or both.
The prosecuting attorneys office holds
that the law is non-assailable. City
Attorney Hewitt has declared that the
law, as originally presented by him,
would stand the test of the courts.
Thus the billboard publicity purvey-
ors are building up for themselves a
pile of trouble in failing to pay their
taxes and getting permits by the legal
route for all their new boards.
Many of the merchants who used this
board space have fallen into line with
the wishes of the outdoor leagues and
are cutting out this offending style of

CAUGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO;
PLACED IN LOCAL JAIL

George Deidrick and Ira Holmes, ar
rested in San Francisco recently on tel
egraphic instructions from Owego, N.
Y, in which they were charged with
grand larceny, were brought to Jail
yesterday morning by A. w. Parmelee,
sheriff of Owego, who has been sent to
the coast for the prisoners.
George e. Crumm, wanted in Owego
on a similar charge and arrested by
Detectives Chapman and Home in Los
Angeles five days ago, will also be
taken to New York by the eastern
officers.
The prisoners are said to have been
members of a gang which stole several
barrels of liquor from a freight car In
railroad yards three months ago.
