Systematic development work on the
! Golconda mine has at last revealed the
ore shoot in place at the 300-foot level
A crosscut was started at this level, and
after doing "a feet of work the vein was
encountered. 1t has been crosscut for
a distance of 5 feet and the hanging wall
is not yet in sight. The mineral is an
iron stained quartz carrying gold and a
trace of silver. The management are
going to crosscut to the south. and in
tersect the east-west vein tina forms
a contact with the north-south vein.
General Manager r. II. Pearl of the
Searchlight Free Gold Mining company
is preparing for the thorough develop
ment of his company's% properties east of
the Philadelphia Searchlight company's
estate. The company owns the States
ground, consisting of the Maine, New
Jersey, Iowa and Georgia lode mining
claims. Situated4as the property is, in
the heart of the fashionable district, de-
velopment work at water level will un-
doubtedly reveal the presence of a large
body of mineral. superintendent p. w.
Sayles on the Searclight Gold Beam, adj
joining this property, has run through
10 feet of highly mineralized iron
stained quartz while sinking the work
ing shaft. The present shaft of the
Free Gold will be Strengthened and tim
bered to the water level, which is usual-
ly, found at a depth $40 feet in this
vicinity. Work and bunk houses are be-
ing erected, and the new camp will act
as an impetus in this section of the
district.
The new strikes on the Stat" to the
west of Searchlight, continue to be the
sensation of the camp, as they are prov
ing up better with every round of shots
fired. On the Adolph claim of the
S~earchlight Mammoth the vertical pros
pecting shaft passed through 5 feet of
vein matter at a depth of 80 feet. The
footwall dips at an angle of so degrees.
This is being followed with ever increas-
ing improvement in the ore body, as
depth is attained. Extensive develop
ment work will be rushed by the COM
pany as soon as the hoist, now en- route,
is installed.

sCHwAH An E~MTEUs1AsT
ON NEVADA MINES

In an interview in the New York Com
mercial Chas. NJ. Schwab is quoted as
saying: It am an absolute enthusiast
on the mineral possibilities of Nevada.
The showings this year in the gold
camps Of that state have been far In
advance of what the most optimistic of
us expected. / look for a new era in the
mining industry of Nevada, and believe
that for the next twenty years mining
operations of the most profitable char
acter will be carried on In the newly
discovered nan camps of that state.
When we stop for an instant to realize
that all Of these large min earnings
and mine developments in these new
camps have been the result of less h
three years work one begins to appre-
ciate the valuable character of the ter
ritory located there. In addition. / do
not believe that that era of mine ac-
tivity will be limited to Nevada but will
follow along the entire western belt.
The east has been slow to realize the
possibilities Of the western mines when
properly managed. but earnings have
told the story quicker than n other
amount of persuasion"

silver ore has been struck running as
high as 5000 ounces in silver per ton.
The management of the Silver Legion

vent of the leasing period will act as a
great stimulus to this end of Nevada, as
heretofore the general impression was
that a fortune had to be expended before
any pay could be encountered.
Another sensational gold strike was
made on the Stanley Forbes Mining
company's estate, four miles east of
S%earchlight. This time the rich ore was
encountered in the adit on the south
vein, at a distance of 100 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel. The vein is about
4 feet in width, values running from
$3.50 to sS45 in gold per ton. Fourteen
inches next to the hanging wall run

johnnie, New. Jan. 2s.-The Globe

Doubleday for $4,000. The deal has
been hanging fire for some time and was
contaminated last week when Carl F.

on the Globe Treasure vein which has
yielded some of the richest ore ever ex-
trated in the state of Nevada. The
Globe is considered the richest property
in the district. 1t is located on the
western slope of the Minnie Mae hill
among the famous Frost and Bowler
leases, which have made records az bo'

A SUSPICION
OF F0ULEST PLAY

San Sui, the Japanese killed by be-
ing run over by a Waialae car at 11:2O
Friday night, may have been the vic
tim of foul play. 1t was brought out
at the inquest held last night that the
man had been in attendance at the
regular monthly drawing of a Japa-
| nese hui. These are held on the 18th
Of each month and San Sui was the
lucky one ON this occasion, being the
recipient of $21O.
After receiving the money he re-
manned to drink over his success and
stayed until he realized that he was
too much under the influence of liquor
to take care of his money, SO he de-
posted 1t with friend Some men in
the party withdrew and left ostensibly
for town. Later the deceased took his
leave.
The next known was told by the mo-
torman and one of the passengers in
the car. To them the man appeared
to be lying some distance from the
track when first observed but the form
was so indistinct that the witness was
Uncertain what 1t was until the car drew
closer and it was then seen that the
hgure was that of a man lying in the
weeds that grow at the edge of the
track. The body was far enough away
from the line to be safe but just when
the car reached the spot the man NOV
ed his foot over to the rail and the
wheels went over it.
The Japanese testifying gave the i'm
preston that deceased had been tapped
on the head by one of the men who
had left before and who knew he had
drawn the money but who were not
aware that he had passed it to
friend. There was an abrasion on the
back of the mans head and his body
was discolored in way which might
Indicate a beating.

]. d. Schuyler. the hydraulic engi-
neer brought here from California by
the Legislature to expert the Nuuanu
dam construction and report thereon.
was asked yesterday for his opinion
on the water storage scheme involved
In that work. In substance his reply
was as follows:
IT consider 1t very excellent
scheme.
THE proposed reservoir will furnish
water supply daily to the city of Ho-
nolulu.
"A very good quality of water, too.
/ have reason to believe.
mot only that, but 1t will be of great
value as source of power.
1.-THE water In that valley is a valu-
able resource of the Territory and
ought to be developed.
II have not examined the other
sources of water, in Kalihi valley and
elsewhere"
Mr.. Schuyler was found at the Pub
lie Works Department supervising the
typewriting of his report to the Legis-
lature. This, an Advertiser reporter
had been told; was likely to be pre-
scented on Monday. but Mr.. Schuyler
gave Tuesday as the day.
The reporter asked him what he
thought Of the purpose of the dam.
apart entirely from what he had ascer-
tanned in investigating the methods OF
construction. Without any hesitation
he expressed the views above reported.
Mr.. Schuyler's opinion of the project
in itself fully bears out Governor
Carter's anticipation, expressed in the
Advertiser two years ago, that the pro-
posed storage reservoir would not only
bring the water supply up to a volume
that would give residents an ample
supply, both for household purposes
and for irrigation, but would furnish an
Increase of power capable of lighting
Honolulu from Diamond Head to Mo-
analua.
1t is Mr.. Schuyler's intention to re-
turn to California in the Alameda sail,
ing May 1. He stated yesterday that
he had never heretofore been officially
consulted about Honolulu's water sup
ply. although he was here with Mr..
Allardt on Mr.. Dill'ngham's business
when Mr.. Allardt made a report to the
Government of that day on the SUBJ

HICKMAN DONAHUE:
ARRESTED ON MAUI

Hackman Charlie Donahue, the man
who made touch of two hundred and
fifty dollars and then left town without
notifying his landlady, is under arrest
and is expected to be in the station
house this morning.
Donahue is not believed by his
friends to have taken the money with
criminal intent. but rather with the
idea that he could so to Maui and
make a winning at craps. He has been
playing in bad luck for some time but
could not restrain his passion for the
game so that whenever he had a few
dollars he went up against a bad prop
osition.
The first intimation of his arrest on
Maui was given by d. II. Davis, who
reported seeing him in the custody OF
an officer on his way to the steamer
landing. His non-arrival by the Ki-
nau gave the impression that he had
made his get away before the steamer
left the Maui port. But yesterday aft
ernoon Sheriff Iaukea received the fol-
lowing wireless:
'Donahue in custody. will return on
Iwalani tomorrow morning. Leal."
Donahue has been driver on the
800 stand for about year. He was
for a time in Hilo and was considered
a steady fellow there except for his
propensities. He will prob
ably have hearing tomorrow.
