WILL ADD MATERIALLY
TO THE DIVIDENDS

GOLDFIELD, June 30.-The Fran
ces-Mohawk Mining and Leasing
company, which under the direction
of ID. Mckenzie and company less
than week ago purchased the Curtis
lease on the Jumbo Extension for
$4,000, yesterday encountered pic
ture ore equal to anything opened up
on the Mohawk. The strike was
made in an abandoned drift on the
315-foot level of the original Jumbo
Extension Curtis lease.
AS soon as this lease was secured
Mr.. Mckenzie telegraphed for corps
of miners who worked for the COM
pany last year on the Mohawk
lease. The faithful mine workers
lost no time in availing themselves of
the opportunity of making for the
Frances-M Mohawk record which
promises to surpass the wonderful
results obtained by them for this
company a year ago.
This lease is on the Wedge fraction
of the Jumbo Extension and adjoins
the Mohawk ground Mr.. Oliver,
mining engineer for ID. Mckenzie and
company, took charge Immediately
after the purchase had been COM
pleted and from his knowledge of
the Goldfield formation was con-
vinced that the former operators had
merely cross-cut dyke formation,
and upon reaching what they sup
posed to be the footwall. concluded
that they had exhausted the re-
sources of the leases and decided to
relinquish their interests.
After thorough examination. Mr..
Oliver directed the men to proceed
with prosecuting. which has proved
that the supposed footwall of the
dyke to be the hanging wall of rich
pay shoot. Drifting was continued
due east for distance ofthirty feet
where what is probably the main Mo-
hawk lead carrying calavarite has
been encountered, while the entire
ledge matter is qualified for immedi-
ate shipment Three distinct shoots
of ore assaying from two hundred
into thousands of dollars per ton
have been opened up thus far and
constitute the second mine-making
record of the Frances-Mohawk COM
pany.
This new wealth will add materi-
ally to the forty per cent annual div
idends of the company and is directly
due to the efforts of ID. Mckenzie,
who advised the purchase of the Cur
tbs lease.

A RICH GOLD
STRIKE MADE
NEAR OSCEOLA
Placer Gold at Gold Bar Company's
Mines Goes 81 % II
Pan.

+. ID. Goody arrived from Osceola
yesterday and brings glowing reports
concerning placer mining in that vi
cinity. He states that Mr.. Gaby, the
superintendent OF the Gold Bar COM
pany's property, has run into ore
that goes $1.25 pan. The company
has been taking out $1,000 week
from the old river bottom 100 feet
below the surface The operating eX-
penses are $1,000 a month. Pros
pectors are greatly excited over the
latest strike in placer gold and all
the property for quite distance
around has been staked out.
Adjoining this property the Osceo-
la Blue Gravel Mining company, a re-
Gently organized company, has six
claims. The latest strike in the Gold
Bar property is very short distance
from the local company's claims and
the owners are elated over the big
showing. The directors of the new
company are DR.. Richardson, Arthur
Cofdiner, John A. Mcdonald, Charles
A. Walker and John w. Barnes OF
Philadelphia. The new company is
contemplating purchasing ten more
claims. They have commenced op'
erations for mining and are quite
certain they will strike the river bot
tom, there being three in number
They even hope to strike the three
gold producing leads where they
come together. If they are so sue
cessful there is no doubt but that q
big cleanup will be made.

BREAKING OF.
DAM PREVENTED
BY WOMEN
Story MOdestly Told i'm Letter How
Reservoir Was Saved, Averting
Enormous Loss.

LARAMIE, Wyo., June 30.-How
the breaking of the Wheatland dam,
impounding the largest artificial
body of water in Wyoming, was pre-
vented by the heroic efforts of four
women, is modestly told in a letter
from Miss Wilburt, addressed to her
mother.
Miss Knight, who is visiting Miss
Helen McGill, with her hostess and
Mrs. j. NJ. Reed and daughter, was
riding by the reservoir, when she
noticed leak in the dam. The
women notified Mrs. Reeds husband,
who is in charge of the reservoir, and
he started for Wheatland to summon
help. Mrs. Reed and the three girls
spent the entire night filling the Gre
vases with hay and dirt, using II
loads of hay. When Reed returned
in the morning they were almost ex-
hausted, but had succeeded in keep
ing the break from enlarging to the
danger point.
The reservoir contains an immense
quantity of water, which is backed
by the Laramie river almost bank
full, and the giving way of the dam
would have meant tremendous loss
of life and property, as the area be-
low includes Wheatland flats, the
most thickly settled farm section of
Wyoming.

The British definition is more pre-

SHOWED PRESENCE OF MIND.
Merry Act of Well Drilers Avsrtet
Fearful Disaster.

Two oil we'll drillers, Earl Sheets
and Frank Winks, near Carl junction,
underwent an experience last week
that would make feature" for life
and death melodrama, says the Kan
sas City Star. The two men We're SUI
perintending the shooting of a well.
Three hundred quarts of nitroglycerin
had been brought to the we'll to be
used in the shot.
A shell containing 80 quarts had
been lowered, but it stuck in the well.
The operators thought they could
shove the can on down in the we'll by
letting the baler down In the well on
top of it. The plan appeared to have
worked all right, and the baler was
drawn up out of the we'll and part
way up toward the top Of the derrick
before the Mortified spectators noticed
that the can Of deadly explosive had
caught in the baler and was then
dangling in the air ready to fall
Just as Sheets and Winks looked up,
the she'll came loose and started to-
ward the ground. Realizing that il it
ever hit the ground these 30 quarts OF
nitro would explode and kill everyone
in the vicinity, the two men with pres
ence Of mind, ran under it and Caueht
It in their hands. If they had failed
in this, not one of the spectators
would have lived TO tell the story"

Senator Mobiles Bill Goes Over.

This senate discussed Senator No
ble's bill providing for the commits
sion system for city government,
which provides that the electors upon
a referendum vote can adopt the plan
If they so desire. Senator Noble as
serted that the plan was not an inno-
walton and did not consist of govern
ment by commission but by a compact
body. the selection of which was safe
guarded under the provisions of the
measure. The speaker cited the eX-
perience of the city of Galveston,
Tex, where the system has been tried
most successfully for many years, and
called attention to the fact that the
aldermanic plan for the government
of cities was but of comparative re-
cent birth, growing into governing
body so far as the ordinary city is
concerned, not only unwieldly but i'm
practical as we'll Senator Husting
