NATIVE COPPER IN
The LUDWIG MINE
The Latest Yerngton Copper Deal Has Involved Very Prom
ising Present Producer

Upon returning from weeks stay at
the great copper camp of Yerington, dur
ing which visit he picked up the noted
Ludwig property for the Nevada Douglas
Copper Company, General Manager w.
6. Orem brought with him several sam
pies of Ludwig carbonate ore that are
characteristic of this mine, and every
ounce OF it is jewelry ore He also
brought with him two splendid samples
of native copper ore, the same coming
from the Ludwig, and those who have
seen it pronounce it as fine character
of the pure stuff as has ever been seen
in this city. The Nevada Douglas has
made the first payment upon the Lud-
wig, and while not giving out the price
paid for the mine, Mr.. Orem did not
denv that it took fine consideration to
pull loose the former owners. Mr. Orem
stated:
The Nevada Douglas Company has
purchased an option on the Ludwig prop
erty adjoining its original possessions
The first payment has been made, and it
all depends upon what the developments
are to be i'll the next two or three months
whether or not the final purchase price
is to be paid. The Ludwig mine is full
OF great promise, and there is fine
amount of high grade ore already in
sight. The company has been shipping
on an average of 400 tons of rock per
month for several months, the average
value of which has been around 20 per
cent In taking over the management
af this property | found in Superintend-
ent David Ross very capable mine SUI
perintendent, and we have made ar
rangelnents with him to continue in the
same capacity for the Nevada Douglas
Company.
We will continue the same program
of ore shipments in the future. Two
cars of ore went into the market when
was there, and two additional cars are
now at the tracks awaiting cars. By
means of the north drift on the 550-foot
level body of ORE principally sulphides,
has been opened up II feet thick and 50
feet in length so far. The average of
this entire body is Is per cent. copper
On the same level the south drift has
encountered body 20 feet thick and 70
feet long, which averages S.4 per cent

BORING FOR COPPER
Valuable Suphde Ore Being Found Various Depths BY
Drills Being Operated

1t is currently reported that the En-
pire Nevada Copper Co., which some
months ago secured quite an acreage of
copper ground across the river from
Yerington, and which later on put a
couple of drills into operation, are being
we'll paid for their experiment. While
the company has nothing to give out
regarding its operations it is continuing
to sink hole after hole through the wash
on the surface of the ground. 1t is a
fact that copper sulphides have been
encountered in nearly every hole at a
depth of anywhere from so to $50 feet,
and some twenty or more holes have
been sunk. The character of ore is good
and carries from one to FIVE or six per
cent copper. The company has large
area of this ground and is acquiring
more territory whenever the opportunity
presents itself which is an indication
that it is at least not discouraged in its
work

This is the first attempt to prospect
ground in this district with drills and If
1t proves successful, which it appears to
be doing now, there will undoubtedly
be more of the work carried on in this
vicinity. AT present there are two drills
at work and they are running smoothly
most of the time They penetrate any
kind of ground, and rapid headwav is
made with them. When ore is struck
and its thickness is demonstrated the
machine is moved to another point and
another hole bored. In this manner the
width of ledge or body of ore can
easily be determined by boring string
of holes along what is supposed to be
the strike of the ore. IF it is demon
strated that big bodies of this low grade
ore exist at All ordinary depth from the
surface it will be one of the greatest
mining propositions ever heard of, as
the ore can practically be quarried out.

copper. An incline has been sent from
the ooo-foot level to the o5O-foot level.
and shortly we expect to have both bod
les blocked out 100 feet below the pres-
ent levels.
The shipments already made have
come mostly from the upper or carbon
ate workings, and in addition to these
high grade chutes there is large tom
mage of carbonates averaging between
$ and 10 per cent. copper which will be
available for profitable treatment in a
smelling plant. There seems no oues-
>tion regarding opening up the sulphides
ON the lower levels, and we feel conf
dent that we will develop as fine line
OF sulphide ore bodies as the best that
the camp can show at this time. A

AS for the Nevada Douglas property
proper, drifting will begin at once from
the 100-foot level of the outside shaft,
or rather, 100 feet below the tunnel level,
as the tunnel, which was started after
the shaft had penetrated to considerable
depths, met the shaft in it's course to

up equally as we'll, even with this super

expected at greater depths

the Nevada Douglas development work
is the opening up of the -porphyry

PROBABLE FUEL FAMINE

There is every indication that there is
going to be fuel famine in Nevada next
Winter Coal dealers in all parts of the
State are finding it impossible to get
coal now, and have no assurance that they
can get it in time for Winter use. The
trouble seems to be that the Hartman
railroad people are trying to play even
with President Roosevelt for trying to
bring them to time in their grating
methods of doing business. The rail
road company owns coal mines in Utah
and Wyoming, but will not ship or haul
from them on account of a recent decis-
ion that railroad companies cannot be
manufacturers or producers of commod-
tiles they transport 1t has been sug
gested that Nevada will have to get her
coal supply from British Columbia or
Australia by way of San Francisco, and
this will be so expensive that but few
can afford to use coal for fuel In view
OF all these conditions it will behoove
the people of this city to get move on
and lay i'll supply of some kind OF fuel
for next Winter or they will be liable
to go cold and hungry Several parties
in Yerington have been trying for the
past month or more to get coal in here but
have been unable to do so up to date.

greatest possible speed The time in
transit from the Pacific Coast to Chi
cago was six days, and from Chicago
this precious consignment was carried
to New York over the lines of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in sixty hours
This was not uncommon like
swift movement Of Eastern silk hap
pens every little while, and illustrates
the state of development to which the
handling of preference freight, as it is
called, has been brought by the rail
roads.
The more popular name for this
class of traffic iS preference or fast
freight and that is expressive of its
character. Speed in the movement of
freight receives less attention from the
public-it is less spectacular than the
flight of luxurious passenger trains
Nevertheless, it is one of the signifi-
cant achievements Of modern railroad
ing, and its Importance in the every
day life of the average citizen is some
thing he is little apt to realize.
A regular schedule, as definite and
fixed as the passenger schedule, is the
perfecting step in the rapid develop
ment of preference freight. At stated
times the commodity trains, the cat
tie trains, and the fruit and vegetable
trains leave certain points, and at stat
ed times they arrive at their several
destinations. On the road arrange
ments are made for tneEr passage with
just as much regularity as for the
passage Of passenger trains. And the
goods are met by conslgnees at the des,
tination, in many cases Just as a pas
senger is met by a friend or relative
at his journeys end.

REF0RMER TURNS GAMBLER ?
HENRY SPINNER ARRAIGNED ON
THIS CHARGE
Chief and Policeman Walk In when
Game Was Going On and Room
Full of Sports, All Busy.

Henry Spinner, the talented col
ored democratic politician, who per-
forms astonishing feats in the "Trl-
angle" on election days, must now
devote his talents to free himself
from the clutches of the law. A few
months ago Henry was real re-
former, but gradually he fell down
the ladder and for some time has
been conducting a gambling room
on Summers street, and for this lat
ter offense he will be given a trial in
the city police court in the morn
ing.
Chief Levi had heard rumors that
the big and gentle Spinner had been
running a game In the room above
Smith and Givens' saloon on Sum-
mers street and yesterday with Off-
Ger Virgil Overstreet, went to the
place without a warrant to investi-
gate. The officers had no difficulty
in making their entrance to the room
except for the many idle negroes
standing about, as Henry was 80
confident of not being molested that
room.
The officers entered the room and
the gamblers were taken unawares.
They stood about four deep around
the table, some spectators and some
testing their fortunes. Henry was
brought before the court this morn
ing and asked for a continuance that
he might get his witnesses here. It
is evident that he intends fighting
the case, but it is stated the evidence
against him will be pretty conclu-
sive that he is guilty Of conducting
a gambling room.
Gus Young pleaded guilty Of con-
Quoting a gambling room on the
third floor Of the Erb building and
was fined SIS and costs. The charges
that there were several gambling,
among whom was a Pittsburg travel
ing man, could not be sustained.
Mildred Sears and Joe Cornelius,
| two denizens of the Redligbt district,
were before the court charged with
disorderly conduct 1t seems both
| had created 70 some disturbance in
! their section and their neighbors
complained. they were assessed SO
and costs each.
Henry Cole, black as coal, was on
a plain drunk without any fancy
fringes and Recorder Ross gave him
the minimum fine Of 81 and costs.
Chas, Shutters, walked up to a
colored barber on the street yester-
day and asked him the reason why
he had quit speaking to his "brud.
der.X The barber said he didn't care
to associate with Such things 81
Charlie and when the latter called
him vile epithet, he called an Off.
Ger and had Shutters arrested. He
was released on paying the costs.
Curtis Collins, whose mind seems
to be affected by the heat, went to
the home Of Mr.. Kidd last night
about II o'clock and told him some,
body was either going to Kill or rob
him. Kidd called Offlner Gardner and
the officer asked Collins to go with
him to another hotel. He said that
he preferred to go to the lookup and
the Office brought, him to the city
jail. This morning nobody was able
to find any charges against Collins
but he acted very. qneerly and Re-
corder Ross dismissed him with the
advice that he had better go to his
Ahome at Maiden and rest up.

The Grand Worthy Counsellor urged
upon the ladies Of the Order the ne
cesSity Of bending their efforts not

but assured them that the best and
only way to have great and useful
