MACKENZIE GETS OIL
AT VIRGIN RIVER

TONOPAH, Nov. 14.-Oil was en-
countered in another well in the Vir-
gin river field Monday Word to that
effect came in brief private dispatch
received here yesterday which stated
particulars would came by mail. The
strike was made in ground owned by
a Goldfield company headed by Mac
kenzie, the wealthy mining operator
of that camp, on section A., which
begins about 1000 feet west of the
original well of the Virgin City COM
many, where a strong flow was cut at
a depth of less than 600 feet. The
strike in the Mackenzie property was
made at a depth of 400 feet, accord
ing to the message, which is about
100 feet less than had to be driven
to get the first well, says the Salt
Lake Herald.
This makes three wells that have
been brought in down there during
the past 60 days and, now that there
is a dozen or more rigs in commits
sion, this kind of news is expected to
be reported with increasing fire.
uuency. The second well to have
reached the oil bearing strata was
the one put down on North creek by
the Virgin City company, and about
two and one-half miles north of the
first we'll.
Peter Porter, secretary of the
Southern Utah Oil company, which
owns about two and one-half sec
lions west and southwest of these
strikes, was in receipt of advices from
Lund yesterday advising him that b.
P. Kim6all would have his stage line
running from Lund to Virgin City
on Monday next. Arrangements have
been made with the San Pedro, Los
Angeles & Salt Lake railroad by
which the Los Angeles limited trains
will stop at Lund for the accommoda-
ton of parties going to and from the
oil fields. Mr.. Porter also states that
travellers can now find sleeping, eat
ing and other accommodations in the
new town of Lund, so the journey
can now be made in comparative
comfort and in quick time.
The letter to Mr. Porter says that
| people are going into the fields in
great numbers and that ground is
being bought right and left by men
who propose to drill. Others are ar
ranging for leases with the same pur-
pose and the real boom is started.

HAYWOOD IN NEVADA.
Is Paying Visit to Goldfield-Object
Not Known.

TONOPAH, Nov. William ID.
Haywood, secretary of the Western
Federation of Miners, and the man
who recently was acquitted of COM
plicity in the murder of Governor
Steunenberg, was passenger on the
train which passed through here last
night from Reno to Goldfield. He is
going to visit the union in Goldfield,
and then return to Tonopah, where
it is expected he will spend few
days.
Mr.. Haywood came and went, and
his presence was not known here, I'M
til after the train had pulled out,
when it was made known by fell
low passenger who had conversed
with him on the train on the way
from Reno to Tonopah. He had little
to say with regard to union matters.
He said that he was not stranger
in Nevada, having mined in the north
ern part of the state in days gone
by. The object of his visit to Ne
vada at this time is not known.

SchWab Enters Denials
to Accusations Made
As to His Deals.
STORIES ARE FALSE
As Generally Circulated, Steel Mag
nate DecIares...Chary of En-.
terins Into Facts.

The accusations against Charles
M. Schwab, the steel king" in reply
to his criticisms of Nevada as a field
for mining investment, that he had
roped all his friends into his deals
here and had made money instead of
losing, have been scattered broadcast.
Heretofore he has not noticed them,
but now he has come forward and in
letter to Sam G. Durham of Tono-
pah, editor of the Tonopah Miner, Mr..
Schwab says:
THE only thing / criticised about
Nevada was the inaccuracy of state
ments emanating from Nevada. You
seem to attack me because of this
statement, and the strength of my
position is fully confirmed by your
article, because little, if anything,
stated therein is true or accurate.
Il will take up your statements
one by one. You say | bought from
John McKane $25 900 worth of stock
of the Tonopah Extension Mining
Company at cents per share. This
is absolutely untrue.
You say | bought 100, 900 shares
of the Extension stock from Robert
c. Hall at Sc per share, and paid for
this stock with paper mill stock No
single part of that statement is cor
rect. ! never gave Mr. Hall any
paper mill stock, nor did | buy 1907
600 shares from him. The amount
purchased from him was 10000
shares. The price which you state
| paid him for the stock is not cor
rect, and, as stated, | gave no paper
mill stock in exchange.
You say further that at the last
annual meeting of Tonopah Extern
sion stockholders, held at Pittsburg
last May, it developed that | had dis
posed of all the stock | purchased
from Mr.. Hall and over two-thirds of
my original holdings of 16 900 shares.
This is absolutely untrue. | am hold
ing today exactly the amount | held
after all purchases were made by
me, and from the beginning, aggre-
eating some 2S5, 900 shares, and |
think if you take the trouble to look
up the records you will find my state
ment to be true. When | originally
bought Extension there was also
some stock in my name belonging to
others, which | subsequently trans
ferred to them, leaving my own hold
ings of 2S5, 900 shares where they
now remain, intact, in my personal
possession
Going down the article, you say
that | purchased control of Shoshone
and Polaris for less than 50 per
share. This statement of yours is
inaccurate. You say | sold large
block of Shoshone stock at $40 per
share. This is also without any
truth whatever. The fact is that
1900 shares were sold at this fig
ure-$20, and these 5000 shares
came from the treasury of the COM
pany, all of which you will find a
matter of record.
ct is true that | have loaned the
company nearly 100000 to build
the new mill, and l shall be glad to
have any other stakeholder in the
company assume his pro rata share
of this amount.

WHAT DOES THIS
STATE NEED MOST?

With the immense mineral re.
sources of the state, there is no rea-
son why there should be any business
depression in our state.
The main source of Nevada's wealth
is it's gold and silver.
What is it doing with it?
What does the prospector do when
he discovers a ledge of pay ore?
He simply develops it to an eX-
tent where he can show its value to
the prospective purchaser and then
stops for lack of means to go ahead
with legitimate mining and ore pro-
duction.
His only hope is that he can in
duce capitalists to invest their money
in his property and make it produce
the values that he is unable to ac-
complish himself.
Why can't an ordinary proSpectOr,
owning a mine with pay ore in sight.
make his property self-sustaining?
The conditions in Nevada are such
that before producer can realize on
the product of his mine, he must COM
ply with the following conditions:
He must extract at least one car
load (about thirty tons.)
He must pay freight tariff of
from SIS to SIS per ton to get 1t to
the smelters.
He must pay a smelling or reduc-
ton charge of from $40 to $15 per
ton to the purchaser of his product,
and then wait for from 80 to 60 days
for his money.
He has not only to cover the ex-
pense incurred in the production OF
this one car shipment, but while he
is compelled to wait for the money
tied up in his car load he also is
obliged to keep his mine in operation
at his own expense for matter OF
three months, before he can expect
to realize a dollar from the product
of his investment.
The absolute cost of production I'M
til the ore is converted into money
is, on an average, about $40 for MIN
ing, 81 to S. wagon haul, 50 to SID
railroad freight, and from $40 to $40
smelling charges.
This simply means that the cost to
the miner on the average shipping
ores will be $3S per ton before ne
realizes any profit to himself.
What becomes of the money he has
paid out in the production OF thls
ore?
Over CD per cent OF IL Is ldheH ou'
of the state to fill the Golfers OF the
railroads and smelling companies.
What is the remedy for Nevada TO
better her mining conditions and
keep the money produced IN the
state at home? And what are the adj
vantages to the miner?
What did Nevada do in its early
days before the existence or the
smelling trusts and the railroads!
1t owned and operated its own
mills, and treated all the ores pro
dnced at an increased profit, and at

much less expense per ton, under
the most favorable conditions, than
what the same product is being
handled for today.
With a custom mill in operation in
the state today, charging the same
exorbitant rate of treatment that is
being at present charged by the
smelters, the miner can ship from
one to any number of tons as he pro-
duces the same, save the long rail
road haul and expense attached
thereto, and get his money promptly
pay off his hands, and make his prop
eTty self sustaining.
The gold and silver bullion pro-
duced is placed in our Nevada bank
ing institutions and sold by them to
the mints, and the money for the
same comes back to Nevada for in
vestment in her various industries.
What Nevada has done in the
strenuous days of '65 and 10 Ne
vada can do today, and do well, for
it will cost less than half the money
now to do the same work that was
accomplished in the days of the old
Comstock.
The suggestion contained in this
article is not based upon untried the
cries, but has been fully demonstrate
ed, and the most refractory ores pro-
duced in this glorious mining state
can be treated at home at far less
cost in every way to the producer
than by shipping them out of it, and
it only remains for ourselves to free
ourselves from the burden that keeps
down the money production of our
lower grade of ores that exists in Ne
vada in untold quantities.
If, in addition to home reduction of
our ores, our good senators, Nixon
and Newlands, would bring about the
reopening of our Carson mint-then
with the free coinage of our gold, we
would get $20.67 per ounce instead
of the $40 fixed by the smelters.
Our subsidiary coin (silver) would
also have a place here, and what was
not used by the government in coin
age at the mint could readily be sold
for the arts and foreign coinage.
This is not day dream, it is a
demonstrated fact, and with the adj
vent of new and improved metallur-
gical methods for the treatment OF
the class of ores produced by our
state, there is no reason why our
state should not enter into an era
of prosperity undreamed of by our
most optimistic promoters.
It is a matter that should not be
read and then lightly dismissed, but
one that should grow and bear the
fruit for our state that is its full due.
