Charles Mathews. who had brought the

Boruwlaski's last days were spent in
peaceful retirement in the city of Durham
He tells us that. in spite of the theory
that dwarfs grow all their life, he never
added quarter of an inch to his three feet

MAzUMA HILLS
MAKES SHIP MENT
Seven TrOughs Bonanza Sends
Initial Lot of Ore to
Salt Lake.

The MaZuma Hills mine has entered the
list of shippers, says the Mazuma Her
aid. Last Tuesday three large teams, con-
sisting of one ten-animal and two six
animal outfits, passed through Mamma,
from the Mazuma Hills mine, above
town, out across the desert, on the way to
the railroad station at Lovelock. with ore
destined for the smelters at Salt Lake
City. The two wagons of the ten-mule
outfit carried eleven tons OF ore, one Of
the other outfits seven and one-ha!f
tons and the third outfit six and one
half tons. total of twenty-five tons.
The ore Is free-milling ore, with gold
values predominating, characteristic of all
ore mined in the Seven Troughs district.
The ore carries, in weight, about an equal
quantity of gold and silver, but in val
ues the gold in the ore is worth, reckon
ing silver at 20 cents per ounce, about
thirty times as much as the silver
The value of the ore per ton has not
been announced by the Mazuma Hills
company. 1t is known, however, that the
company was in a position to make a car
load shipment OF ore of value of 81 600
per ton. However, on account of the
high freight rate demanded by the rail-
road on ore of such value the manage
ment have sent out quality of ore not
last Tuesday will go better than $500 per
ton, and will probably yield s1,0O0 per
ton.
Philip Harnan, brother of John Harnan.
one of the principal owners of the Ma
yuma Hills, came up from Fairview about
ten days since to assist in preparing the
shipment. When the wagons went out,
Philip Harnan and A. Z. Kane a trusted
man with the MaZuma Hills people ac-
companied the cargo Of ore, and doubtless
they were prepared to resist any attempt
to appropriate the ore, or any part of it,
by any persons who might think there
was a favorable opportunity for high
grading on the trip of thirty miles through
the desert country to the railroad station
at Lovelock- Mr.. Harnan and Mr. Kane
who is former railroad engineer, and
familiar with all the devious methods of
side-tracktng freight, will continue with
the shipment to Salt Lake City
Active development of the Mazuma
Hills mine began in February. This ship
ment OF ore, and more that is in the tun-
nels sacked for shipment, was taken out
in the two company tunnels drifting on
the ledge.
With the three parallel veins that are
known to lie in the MaZuma Hills terri
tory, and fifteen sets of leasers explor-
ing the. ground, besides active company
work. the Mazuma Hills promises sensa-
uonal developments in the next few
weeks.
To the Mohawk of GoldffeId and the Ne
vada Hills of Fairview add the Mazuma
Hills mine OF Mazuma, and you have the
great trtumvirate of gold mines of Ne
vada most prominent in 1907.

GOOD REPORTS COME
FROM DUCK CREEK REGION


Ely, July A.-Joseph Oldfield and Fran
els Brimm have returned to Ely after
having made a months prospecting tour
through White Pine and Elko counties.
They located one claim in the Deep Creek
country which they report is very rich.
As they intend to return in a short time
and locate more claims adjoining the one
they now have, they will not state jpst
what the location of their property is.
W. f. McManus, one of the heaviest
stockholders In the Carson Milling & Min
ing companys property at Duck creek
has brought in lead ingot that is almost
solid lead. the specimen was taken from
the Last Chance claim, the vein of which
varies from six to thirty feet in width.
A meeting Of the directors OF the Blaine
Gold Mining company was held last night
and a contract was let to Morris BartholO-
NEW and W. +. Harley to continue driv-
ing the main tunnel from a point 600 feet
in the mountain side to a distance of l5J
feet further The contractors are to
start an upraise to connect with the
shaft which has now reached depth OF
800 feet This will be done as soon as
the. tunnel work is finished.

EAST YERINGTON STRIKE.
Rich Copper SuIphides Are Cut In the
Butte company's Shaft.

A strike has been made in the east
Herington district which, according to C.
ID. Rooklidge. who has been spending
some time in that portion of the big cop
per field, is one of the utmost Significance
as demonstrating the presence of the
same fine character of sulphide ores that
has made the west side of the zone fam
Que. The strike was made I'm the shaft
being sunk by the Butte-Y erington
company. the property of which lies to the
south or the Herington Copper and Cop
per Mountain companies properties.
AT depth of 145 feet said Mr.. Rock
lidge, the shaft was all in high grade
sulphide copper ore. ore that will compare
with the best or that character in any
portion of the district. either on the west
or east side. Samples taken the day /
was at the property assayed % per cent
copper, but of course il is not expected
that any such average as that will be
maintained in large ore body. The
strike means something to the Yerington
Copper company. The collar of the Butte
company's shaft is about 100 feet lower
than the collar of the YeringtOn Copper
shaft and, judging from the manner in
which the sulphides have made their ap-
pearance in the Butte ground, we should
be getting the same kind of ore when we
have sunk fOrty-five feet more"
At the Wheeler Gold company's pro-
pertieS Mr.. ROOklidge states that every
thing is moving nicely. When he left for
home sixteen tons OF ore had been de-
livered al Wabuska for shipment to the
smefters here and the teams had gone
back TO the mine to haul out the remand
er of the initial carload from the recent
strike. The new ore body has now been
opened along the strike of the vein for
over seventy-five feet and at a depth of
over 80 feet beneath the surface. II has
been raised in for thirty feet and sunk
upon for ten feet and the vein IS found to
average better than three feet wide. The
ore. Mr.. Rooklidge SAYS, will mill better
than $50 per ton. All of the material for
the cOmpany's milling plant is at last on
the ground and Mr.. ROOklidge says that
the treatment OF ore will begin early in
September possibly before the end of the
present month, but this he would not like
to guarantee, as there are so many little
things that might result in a setback

SNYDER PAYS OUT BIG SUM
AND GAINS TITLE TO ALL WA.
TER IN SNAKE RANGE.

Willard F. Snyder yesterday afternoon,
acting for the Amalgamated Nevada
Mines Power company, checked out
money right and left to the former owners
OF water and power rights on Baker,
Leahman and other streams in the Snake
range of mountains i'm White Pine coun-
". When he got through there must
nave been in the neighbOrhOod of 500 600
which passed into the hands of the ranch
efs and others who held title TO the wat
ers OF the streams and al the same time
hf, Snyders company became the abso-
Iute and final owner of all these rights
as the payments made were ali final ones
No sooner had the money and deeds
changed ownership than the latter went

now IN a position 10 go on with its plans
Tor supplying the eastern norton OF New
ada with light and power as well as
water from these streams, not less than
hat dozen Of which are involved in
the transactions.
As IS generally known. Mr.. Snyder and
Johh W; Cawley OF Boston recently und-
eTtOOk the reorganization of the company
BY dlsplacing the II. S. WOOlley crowd and
turning the proposition over to a syndi-
cate OF wealthy and experienced opera
tors, About the middle of July Messrs.
Snyder and Cawley came on from the east
ana went directly to Nevada for the Dur-
pose of looking over the companys var
lous possessions and arranging for the
final payment and discharge of the OBJ
tons held on the water and power rights
along the various streams in the Snake
range and which virtually cover all the
water rights Of that portion Of the state
snd amounting TO thousands OF horse

to determine the immense value of these
interests and II is safe to predict that
the company viii be just as quick TO exc
cute the plans that means so much for
the districts that will be affected by the
installation of the big power plants now
being figured upon by the eompany's en-
gineers.
The deals closed yesterday mean that
the company will be supplying Ely, Osce-
ola and other camps with light and power
before a great many months have gone

up their golden wealth to the crowd that
has been nervy and quick enough to grasp
the opportunity that the proposition Of

promoter of big undertakings and that he
has again been instrumental in bringing
a great amount of eastern capital into
this country.
