for that is too far away It is in California, and Mr.. schwab is talking
about Nevada. It is a wonder that Mr.. Schwab has any money at all, the
way that the poor man has been done up; but he seems to be still able
to travel and put up at fairly good hotels
Mr.. Schwab must be a business man, otherwise he would not have
been at the head of such a concern as the steel trust 1t is a pretty big
thing he asks the people to swallow, when he asks them to believe that
both he and his friends were deceived by the men of Nevada. But Mr.
Schwab says that his friends have suffered losses, and that he has suffered
also We can readily understand why it would not do, in a business
without Mr., Schwab having suffered, too. It would not look well to Mr.
Schwabs friends.
Mr.. Schwab had his personal representatives examine all the prop
critics that were submitted to him, and when the men of Nevada had an
opportunity of getting neal him without passing through his reunue of
representatives it was a cold day in Wall street. So there was little chance
of any OF the men of Nevada telling him any fairy stories, and of his
believing them.
When Mr.. Schwab replied to his interviewer, he must have calcu-
lated the injury that 1t would have done to Nevada to permit his words to
go unchallenged. His interests are allied with those of Wall street, and
it is not believed that his interests in Nevada are is extensive ash he would
have them appear. He may have had two motives in talking as he did.
One was to square himself with the friends who had lost through his
promotions, in not having been allowed to get in on the ground floor;
and the other is that Mr. Schwab may have been obliged to yield to the
pressure of Wall street, and compelled to get in and knock, and when
the emissaries of Wall street proceed to knock, the truth is the least OBJ
jectye point.
Whatever Mr. Schwabs motives were. they would not seem to be
creditable, and he has certainly not placed himself in the most enyiable
position in the world. A man who says that he has not met in all Ne
vada, n from Nevada, a man who has told him the truth, or whom he
can believe, must be something of a liar himself

CERTALNLY NOT NEVADA'S FAULT.

Charles N. Schwab, promoter, steel king. shipbunder, millionaire, and
stl in debt 10 the Mzpah Club for the sum of five thousand dollars, Is
speeding East. He did not make the impression which W e were wont to
have of the gay, debonnaire, dashing Charlie. We thought that he would
make a manly explanation of his sur on the people of Nevada, but in
stead of doing this, he called a representative of the Associated Press o
him, and babe him say to the public that he didn't mean to-
Schwabs friends may have suffered by buying his stocks, and doubt
less they have, but that is not the fault of Nevada, nor Of the men of Ne
vada. If Schwab sold Tonopah Extension TO his friends for eight and
ten dollars a share, the friends have the kick, not against Nevada, but
against Mr.. Schwab. If Schwab sold his friends Shoshone Consolidated
at twenty dollars a share, those frend DIS must look to Schwab, and not to
Nevada. If Schwab let any of his friends in on the ground floor of his in
vestments, then there is nobody who has a kick.
The fear is though, that this is just what Mr.. Schwab did not do,
else there would be no wailng and gnashing of teeth at this time. 1t
looks Al If Mr.. Charles M. Schwab, who built up the fral shipbuilding
trust, which fell to pieces OF its own weight, got his" while handing
out the good things to his friends. The high finance Of the East does
not fit in the mining stocks of the West, and this fact now seems to be an
noying to Mr.. Schwab.
IL has been the style of the gentlemen in the East with whom Mr.
Schwab has been associated, when they hoated a proposition, to souse IT
with water, take the first offerings, and then let in their friends and the
rest of the public through the upper stories. We do not know that Mr..
~Schwab has done this in the Tonopah Extension or the Montgomery Sho-
shone, but it is obvious that they did not share his Investments at the
same rate that he himself got in; else there would not have been any
'holer' about losses.
We do not know anything about Mr.. schwabs affairs in Greenwater.

Attention.
Washable. a new gold camp stu
ated a few miles north Of Goldbanks,
is beginning to attract considerable
attention on account of good strikes
which have been made there within
the past few weeks. says the Hum
boldt Star.
r. NJ. Edmunds. who has a number
of claims there, has been spending a
few days in town getting together a
load of supplies for the camp.
On the Washable No. Z, owned by
Mr.. Edmunds and associates, a two
foot vein has been uncovered, ore
from which gave assays as high as
$l0310 and ~$1041.17 mostly in gold.
These returns are very encouraging
when it Is taken into consideration
that $1.66 was the largest assay OBJ
tanned from the ledge on the surface.
Work was started on the Edmunds
property about a month ago and ever
since the first blast was fired has i'm
proved in richness until now ore of
shipping grade is being piled on the
dump.
Messrs. Brown. Chindgren and
Wilson also have & fine group Of
claims at Washable upon which they
have done considerable development
work. with most encouraging results.
They have opened up ore in several
places which assays well in gold.
Washable was named after a noted
Indian chief by Mr.. Edmunds, He
says he never knew a camp named
after a dead Indian chief that didn't
make good and he knows that Wash
axle has departed for the happy
hunting grounds, for he helped bury
him. Mr.. Edmunds was at one time
a scout in the government service and
he is one of the Oldest and most ex-

over PROPERTY
HENRY JAGLES BELIEVES HE
HAS ANOTHER GOLD
FIELD.

Henry Jagles, who discovered the
Cottonwood country, neal Blair, and
afterwards sold his holdings to Harry
Stinler. Goldfeld's discoverer, was
a passenger on last evenings train
from Goldield. Mr.. Jagles expected
to clean up the purchase of the prop
erty yesterday. but was disappointed
by reason of the banks being closed,
The location of Jagles has been
changed to the name of Stimler, and
i Harry Stimler, who discovered the
Sandstone, is now the moving spirit
of the camp. He is satisfied that the
camp is another Goldfeld, and as far
as showings are concerned, there
never vas a moment when the sur
face of the golden city of the desert
was in it.
John O'Keefe of the Kewanas was
in town yesterday, and he exhibited
ONE samples which came from a
lease he has on the new discovery.
They are fine looking samples and
Mr.. O'Keefe is much enthused over
the proposition. Some of the rock
he carried went 5000. Shirley and
Ingalls, have another lease on the
property. and are down forty feet.
At the surface they got assays of IS
a ton; at a depth of twenty feet $21,
and at thirty-eight feet SEQ a ton.

AMERICAN CANYON
AGAIN TO AWAKEN
ALMADEN COMPANY SECURES ,
LEASE ON MONTE CHRISTIE
GROUND.

That the American Canyon minos
have not been dead, but merelv
sleeping will be demonstrated with
in a few days, when the Almadan
company, under the superintendent
of j. w. Wenzel will start m tha
mill Of the Monte Christie companv
and again begin the washing of tbo
rich placer gravel of that canyon
The Monte Christie company has .
Hoist operating in a shaft some 2oo
feet deep. From this drifts havo
been run off at various levels into
the rich placer ground. In connec
ton with this hoist and shaft is
large gravel washing mill, the hoist
dumping the gravel as it is brought
from the lower levels, into the min
automatically.
This plant and mill have been o.
Grated by the Monte Christie comnanv
at various times and has proven ia h
the proper thing to handle the placer
gravel OF the canyon properly ana
get the rich values therefrom The
mill works entirely automatically the
gravel going from the point where If
is loaded onto the cars in the drift
into the skip, through the mill and
out into the water drain and into 4
car for the larger rocks, without be-
ing touched by a shovel or hand
work. This mill will handle 300 to
400 tons of dirt per day and will
a all values clean as a whistle.
Mr.. Wenzel has been associated
with the Monte Christie company and
in charge of its work during all of
the development and the installation
and operation of the mill so is thor.
oughly conversant with its operation
and possibilities. He will be in charge
of the work by the Almaden COM
pany, of which Mr.. Adamson, of Win.
nemucca, is western manager.
The starting of the mill will make
American Canyon lively again, but
that will not be all that will be do
Ing there. Messrs. Wenzel ami
Stevens have several men at work
prospecting the surface ground of the
Ormas group Of claims, near the head
OF the canyon. In running a trench
four distinct and well defined Lodges
have been uncovered, showing aver
age values Of $40 per ton gold. The
work of sinking a shaft on this group
will soon be started and the ground
prospected to considerable depth.
Fred Surran who has been work
ing steadily in the canyon for several
years past. and who has been inter-
ested in evera sales Of claims in the
canyon is developing other promising
claims and getting lodges uncovered
that will yet be attractive to the
large mining operators. Keep your
eye on American Canyon.-Loyeloek

the suspension IS but temporary.
There has been no run on the other

AS a whole the local public is in

as a mining camp incident and to ac-
