WHY THIS COUNTRY is
THE RICHEST ON EARTH

Ten years ago our yearly productloll
NJ coal was ITO 600 900 tons, and we thought
II a heap Last year we produced 100000
600 tons. Our copper output of ten years
ago was 900, OOOO 600 pounds. In 1905 we
dragged from the lowels of the ea ar
mineral substance worth about sO2SOoo'-
900. - =,
The value of our mineral product in
1eO6 anproximates 81, 1000 100000. These fig
ures are bewildering in their immensely.
1t is no wonder we are the richest nation
on earth Yet in spite OF IL al mere
is SOMETHING left to hope for, and there
NAV be something to fear.-New York

BIO MINING DEAL
CLOSED AT RHYOLI7E
PATSY CLARK PAYS $25o,ooo FOR
CLAIMS
Nevada Hills Mine Makes Shipment
Ore Worth $4,000 in One Car.
Strike on the Happy
Hunch

]. B. Mcdonald, Guy Fruit and w.
E. Higman Jr., of Rhyolite, have just
closed a deal which involves the transfer
of a group of claims in the Good Springs
district to Patsy Clark for the stated con-
sideration of $250,0O0, the main part of
which was paid over. The last payment
is due September 10th, says the Bullfrog
Miner.
The property embraces three claims,
known as the Monte Christie group, and
the values are mainly in zinc. The ledge
carries, it Is stated, width of forty feet
and averages 46 to As per cent zinc, with
a silver return of about eight ounces.
Ships $4,000 Car
The Nevada Hills mine sent to the
smelter one car of ore on which the
freight charges were nearly $1100, from
Fallon to Salt Lake City. This consign-
ment consisted of the rich ore that was
taken from the winze Of No. 2 tunnel
without any notice to the public this
shipment was quietly slipped through
with the ordinary grade of S254 per ton,
but was separated at Fallon, and placed
in a sealed box car, sacked. The returns
from the smelter were extraordinary.
The ore produced more than $1,000 of
silver and gold to the ton, and was set
tied for on that basis. The freight rate
is $2S per ton for ore running $500 per
ton, and for all above that amount 4
per cent is added; with the basis of S2S
there was to be added to this per cent
or more than 500, which made the total
rate in excess of $50 per ton. A twenty
ton car made the extraordinary charge
of nearly $1100, owing to this graduated
rate, on which the railroad officials stood
pat.
R,,t with So0 nOO worth of ore in a car
the owners of the product have little for
which to grieve.
And there is more just like this to fol-
low, says the Goldfeld Tribune.
Rich Strike on Happy Hunch
Nine inches, running from $50 to $500 a
ton, found on the Happy Hunch, is the
report brought to Goldfield by S. Thorn
ton Langley who, being interested in prop
critics in the same neighborhood, junket-
ed out there to see for himself.
The Happy Hunch is eight miles east
of town, and three miles south and east
of the Rochester. The ledge encount-
cred by this mine is said to be sixty
feet in width, nine inches being pay. The
formation is largely altered dacite On
the same vein is the Queen of Sheba,
comprising ninety-one acres, the manage
ment of which has now started a 100
foot shaft, confident of hitting the real
stuff before that depth shall have been
attained. Other mines in the same region
are the Ajax, Francis King and King
Leopold.

town, carrying the same ore as in the Mo-
hawk, which seems to be the case, will

HA YSEED is
IN RICH ORE
GREAT MINE IN THE NEW LEE
DISTRICT
ON THE BORDER LINE OF CALI.

Expected

More cheerful news comes from Rhvo-
lite New, of a rich strike in the great
Hayseed mine of the Lee district which
has been shipper practically from the
surface. The Lee district is. on the rim
of Death Valley, on the border line of
Nevada and California, and has proved
so rich that it has attracted the atten-
ton OF the best mining people in the
East and West
The Hayseed mine, regarded as the
leader of the district, is to Lee what the
Mizpah is to Tonopah, the Nevada Hills
to Fairview, the Mohawk to Goldfleld.
When 1t was bought by the present own
ers, shaft was down thirty-ive feet.
and ore was being sacked for shipment
from that level. They have now reached
the 800 level and there is no abatement
In the values. On the contrary, the
strike which has just been made shows
an increase in the values or Superintend-
ent ]. P. Nelson would have made no
mention of the find.
Big Sum Easily Raised
The purchase price of the Hayseed was
100000, the biggest cash deal ever put
through in the new country. 1t was the
work of but few hours to raise the
money in Rhyolite, for there had been
big reports coming in from the Lee dis
trict, and the people of the southern
country were wildly enthusiastic Before
they were in possession of the mine there
was more money to be expended, and up
to the present time there have been in
the neighborhood of 100000 paid out
The principal owners of the mine are
Sam Lindsay president of the company;
j. p Nelson, vice-presdent and super
intendent; S. j. Hernstead, secretary; O.
o. Kincaid, j. A. Largent, and A. L. Lid
uya1 oXIo Criff lha
Rhyoite brokers, are also among the
heavy owners.
Thinks Strike a Good One
Il know that the new strike must be
something worth while" said Mr.. Lid
well, one of the owners. I'VE have been
working in shipping ore right along, and
consequently unless the new find were
not something big Mr.. Nelson would not
think it worth while to say anything
about it. We have been working steadily
and most eneEgetically on the property
ever since we got 1t, and have a hoist of
5-horse-power on the ground
1.-The ledge on the surface is a hun
dred feet in width, and on both sides of
the rich shoot as we have gone down is
a great body of milling ore, and we have
neither wall We are now figuring on
putting up a mill, and we will have to
pipe our water four miles The Borax
Smith road, with its Santa Fe connec-
ton, is within thirty-fve miles of us,
and there is to be a spur of this road
run up to the mine, which Will be
distance of from three and half miles
to four miles. This will give us an
economical run to the smelter; and will
make the construction of the mill a COM
paratively easy task"
Mr.. Lidwell, besides being interested in
the Hayseed, is one of the principal own
ers in the Combination group of sixteen
claims, from which reports place the find
ing of ore that assays 5000 ton. And
that is the way that things are going IN
the Lee district.

Property Is Located in Shasta County,
California, Where Millions Are
Used for Permanent
Developments

The Mammoth Copper Company paid
$4,000 for the Mammoth Mine, in Shasta
county, Cal, nearly three years ago.
From information that comes from a
source that is close to the management
1t is learned that the Mammoth Copper
Company is now worth $SO,OOOOOO The
net profits are said to be- between $4,000
and $4,000 day
The Mammoth company is subsidiary
to the United States Mining and Smelt-

the market, but it owns copper mines and
smelters in half dozen different places
in this country and Mexico, and the quo

RUNS A LEIGH FARM.
Novel Back-Room Industry That Pays
Well,

BALTIMORE. August 1O.-Incubators for
breeding leeches are being planned by Mr..
William F. Schindele. barber. 1868 North
Gay street. who Is raising a family or two
of Swedish leeches in the rear of his shop.
Mr.. Sch1ndele makes good use Of his
blood-sucking worms and he has been TAX
ing bad blood from persons for the last
twenty-fv years. He has always bought
the leeches from leech breeder in Sweden,
but he has found 1t expensive to import the
worms. Several years ago he thought it
would be a good thing to start to breed
enough leeches for his own use. Ordering a
large number from the leech breeder
abroad, he started in to breed his own
leeches. At first his attempts were unsuc-
cessful, and at times his supply for his
patrons decreased SO that he had to order
more leeches. His next Idea was to take
only a. few Of the leecheS and experiment
with them.
A year ago he ordered two dozen leeches
from Sweden. They arrived all right, and,
getting some select earth, he placed 1t in
q tub. The leeches were thrown in and at
once wriggled their way deep into the dirt.
which had been dampened with water until
it was soggy. He watched daily the prog
ress made by the leeches placed in the
earth Several months later he called his
assistant and told him he had discovered
ination 1t was learned that they were nests,
and two weeks later each brought forth
five tiny leeches.
Week after week Mr.. Schindele paid con-
slant attention to the growth of his breed
of leeches, and he was surprised at the
rapidity with which they bred. Nest after
nest was built, and at last the barber could
meet the demand for leeches by his patrons.
Men who resort to hsticuffs when in an
alteration and who get a black eye go to
Mr. Schindele and have his leeches remove
the blood clots. Mr. Schindele has kept &C
count Of his patients. and he says the gem
ceived by many Of its citizens.
At present in the tub there are at least
100 leeches. Mr.. Schindele can thrust his
hands into the tub and pull up several
dozen of the forms. AS soon as they are
in the open they squirm and wriggle in and
out Of the earth in the BARRIERS hands. The
species he Is raising Is rare, according to
him. and it is only by his careful and con-
slant attention to their growth that they
live. He said the American leech Is not the
same species as the Swedish ones. The
backs Of the leeches which Mr.. Schindele is
breeding are of brilliant hue. being
striped with striking colors. He is also
raising them in stagnant water. He has
about 100 in a small tub. which is covered.
Mr.. Schindele said it will not be necessary
for him to send abroad for any more
Swedish leeches, his stock will be on the
increase now, and he hopes his supply will
not be exhausted. He is proud of accom-
piishirg what he says is, something unusual.
II worked hard" he Sad. ito get sue
cessful breed. and now have gotten them
still cling to the old maxim that Where
there Is a will there is way.
