throughout the state. The district
is situated at the headwaters of the
Reese river in the Tolyabe range. It
is reached from Manhattan through
Peayine canyon river. or through any
of the canyons between Peavine and
the south fork of Twin river. So
far as known the older porphyry is
exposed only along the summit of
the range and prospectors must CON
fine their efforts to this particular
section as both the east and west
tanks are capped with later flows OF
rhyolite, breccias and volcanic tufts.
Many of the older porphyry hills are
capped with the same material and
the ore deposits do not extend
through these rocks.
Mr.. Pray states that the veins do
not outerop to any great extent ow-
ing to the soft nature of the country
rock, the detritus from which covers
most of the hills. The lode porphyry
a be distinguished from the cap
ping rocks by their smooth, rounded
nature of the hills in contrast to the
rugged weathering of the cap rocks.

big STAMPEDE
TO The TOIYABE

During the past few days many
people have left Manhattan for the
scene OF the c silver strikes in
the Toiyabe range near the head
waters OF the Reese river. The orig
mai discoveries were made by BERT
kopenhaver, Walter Meissner and
Frank Cochran, the well-known Man
haitian ~prospectors. The first ore was
found early last winter, but owing
10 the impossibility of getting sun
plies into the country at that time
the discovery was kept a secret until
the snow melted sufficiently to per-
NIT OF thorough prospecting.
Several weeks ago Kopenhaver.
Cochran, George w. Hartley and ".
.. Pray, the mining engineer. sue
ceeded in getting in and located ad-
lacent territory. The original dis
coyery had been purchased by Mr..
Pray for the Nevada Superior Con-
soiidated Copper company, a sub
sidiary of the National Exploration
company Of New York. 1t was dur
Ing this trip that the source of the
rich silver float was found and upon
their return they brought in rock
fairly alive with ruby silver, horn
silver and stephanite.
News of the find leaked ont and
repeated attempts were made by out
side parties to find the locality. but
without success. During the past
week, however, several parties sue
ceeded in following the tracks of the
discoveries and then followed a YER
liable stampede. 1t is impossible at
this time to estimate the value of
the discovery as much of the ground
In the vicinity is still covered with
snow. However, from the character
and value Of ore samples brought in
and the description of the country
given by Mr.. Pray it is probable that
an important discovery has been
made.
Some of the ore brought back has
every indication of great values.
From a trench dug in the porphyry
formation ore was taken out that con-
tains horn, ruby and antimonial sill
yer in large quantities. The forma-
ton is described as a greenish gray
porphyry of medium texture and is
probably an old andesite. 1t is a
typical silver lode porphyry and the
ore occurs in certain belts which
have undergone extreme alteration.
These belts traverse the country for
miles and outcrop in places as i'm
mediate reefs of silicified country
rock with %stringers and veinlets of
free quartz reticulated there through.
The ores-ruby silver, horn silver
and stephanite-occur in the quartz
yeinlets and frequently such portions
of the mass are very rich. Crystal
lied quartz showing comb structure
is common and in most respects the
conditions are similar to the typical
new silver camps in porphyry

NEVADA NEEDS
GOOD Mining Men

The alluring bait for Americans to
emigrate to foreign countries is high
er pay for their services. 1t is evil
dent, though, that the newer dis
tricts in Nevada, California and
Alaska AFFORD an equal opportunity
to gain both reputation and fortune,
for there are problems to be solved
in mining. transportation and ore
treatment which require technical
knowledge and unusual perseverance
says the Mining World. Opportun-
ity. rather than luck. has become the
guiding star OF the younger Ameri-
can mining engineers and metallur-
gists. To win fame and fortune these
young men have pitched their tents
in the gold and diamond fields of
South Africa, the gold fields Of Aus
tralia. the coal fields Of China, the
gold fields OF Japan. the copper, gold
and silver fields Of Mexico and South
America, the gold and copper fields
OF Alaska, the copper and silver
fields of Canada, and, in fact, nearly
everywhere can the success OF the
mining industry in recent years be
traced to the enterprise of the pro-
faaeinnal Amarfnau
This "wanderlust" in the American
is somewhat different from the trait
which is so prominent in the Briton
and German, and latterly in the Jap
anese. As a rule, the professional
American will stick to the last, de-
termined to make a success of his
work. thinking it obligatory, no mat
ter how many thousands of miles he
may be from home. The Briton who
IS inherently a world-trotter often
takes a chance In opening a mine for
the speculative excitement which it
may cause on the London stock ex-
change. Instances can be given
where the British directors have been
compelled (as a last resort to prevent
the bankruptcy of their corporation)
to Engage the services of an Ameri-
can engineer whose dislnterested re-
port in the mine re-established the
confidence of the shareholders.
To be sure, there are a number of
able British engineers, who stand
high In their profession, but they are
generally employed on British soil.
1t is the Cornish miner whom VIZ find
in various parts Of the United States,
not the British mining engineer. A
suggestive question arises here: Is
the professional Briton doing as
much for the United States as the
professional American has accom-
plished for the United Kingdom?
And Is there gainsaying of the fact
that American skill in mining and
metallurgy has contributed largely to
the enormous gold output Of $119,-
6O9,373 in the Transvaal last year?
The German, as well as the Japan
ese. when he visits foreign mining
and metallurgical centers. usually
stays long enough to get posted,
so that he might initiate the same
practices in the country of his own
nativity. When a German, be he
professional or tradesman. e~migrates
to America he usually stays, takes
out his citizenship papers, and votes
straight" An American, on the
other hand, when he obtains employ
ment abroad, never renounces his al
~Iegiance to the Stars and Stripes.
The case Of Sir CD William Waldorf
Astor is without parallel-he never
worked.

While everything else has been
r.ntlv or otherwise sliding down the
,oo,e Nevada Hills has as surely
climbed upward, but, better still, it
s.s gained so great a prestige that
Mace familiar with it now designate
!, as the biggest gold and silver mine
! Nevada. It was natural, therefore,
,hat ". H. Clark, owner of a sixth
,nterest in the Nevada Hills, and a
a,omber Of the official family, should
have been besieged Friday upon ar
,ivine from Fairview for the latest
nsvs regarding this property.
Mr.. Clark is o than ever con-
vineed Of the truth of the statement
AL the Nevada Hills is the greatest
mine in Nevada. Heretofore, most of
me ore has come from comparatively
shallow levels, and entirely from de-
yelopment work, but the manage
mapt now is sounding the mine at
greater depths. and the deeper the
worklngs descend the richer the ore
sseomes and the more extensive as
we'll. The deepest working is a VIM,
and It has gained a vertical depth OF
aver 2S0 feet. II is there that the
sbowings surpass anything , hereto
fore had in the Nevada Hill ground.
II has been stated at various times
that the management had opened Up
the vein along its strike for a contin-
nous distance of from 1900 to over
1000 feet. Mr.. Clark deems these
figures Incorrect, and says that the
vein has been demonstrated so far
for 1900 feet upon its strike. This
length, should the vein suddenly dis
appear. will provide food enough for
the shelters to last the lifetime OF
the present stockholders. but no one
expects the vein to quit even at the
end lines OF the Nevada Hills pos
sessions.
When asked about dividends in the
future Mr.. Clark stated that the COM
pany will continue beyond all doubt
the declaration OF quarterly allot-
ments OF profits. As to amount, he
could not say. but intimated that II
vas a much more simple matter for
the office force OF the company.
should the amount of dividends per
quarter be Increased from 10 cents
to something higher. rather than to
post dividends more frequently. Ger
tain Il is, this Salt Lake organization
has a bonanza on its hands in Fair

Of its achievements bids fair to main

Several days ago we learned that
a sur OF excitement had been caused
at Tuscarora through a discovery Of
rich placer ground. about two and a
half miles from the town. on Mccain

upon investigation, we learned
that the story was well founded. and
It is believed that the new find is
the most important placer discovery
ever made in that district.
A letter received today from Har-
ry l.. Bartlett comments as follows
on the property, on which a test run
was made:
1 Kept a record of the last trial
run for test purposes, to show the
value per cubic yard. They washed
down thirty cubic yards of dirt into
a race and then cleaned up the bed
rock as best they could, Gas water
was running in from the outside II
was impossible to make a saving of
more than 70 per cent? then put It
through a rocker. saving 5000 in
gold dust, This makes a little bet
ter than $500 per cubic yard. The

are advised, will commence at an
