STAMPS DROPPING
At The VALCALDA
OMEARA BROTHERS PAY VISIT
TO THEIR GREAT PROPER
TY AT SILVER PEAK.

The mill at the Silver Peak Val
calda mine is in shape for running
but there r a few needed altera-
tions to make things go smoothly,
after which there will be no further
delay in the continuous dropping of
the stamps.
Hon. w. p. O'Meara, who with his
brother, M. ]. O'Meara, went to the
mine on Saturday, returned yester-
day. He expresses himself as very
well pleased with the outlook.
I'VE are in need of a belt" said
Mr.. O'Meara, "and after that is in
place, We will have no further
trouble. The mine is in splendid
shape and the ore that we will begin
to mill will average $S5 a ton. This
is pretty good milling ore, and we
have a great deal of it, which | say
in all modesty."
That is pretty good ore, when it is
considered that the greatest mines
in the country are turning into their
mills ore that will go 50 and So to
the ton. This is the history of the
famous Treadwell mine of Alaska,
and the equally famous Homestake
of Lead, South Dakota. The mill
of the Montana Tonopah has made
eight dollar ore an asset to the mine
and there are large quantities of the
P%ittsburg Silver Peak which will not
go higher than that figure.

returns FROM A
TRIP TO FAIRVIEW
WILL c. RUSSELL SAYS THAT
CAMP WILL BE SECOND
TONOPAH.

VIII G. Russell returned yesterday
from Fairview, much enthused ovel
the district, the mines and the gen
eral situation.
"Fairview,". said he, sis a second
Tonopah. 1t has all the earmarks,
it has the same kind of ore and
plenty of it. The Nevada Hills is a
marvellous property, and will doubt
less be as big a proposition as the
Tonopah mine. There is one shoot
of ore which extends 1853 feet, the
biggest / have ever seen, and / have
seen a number.
THE find of water in the new
strike of the Fairview Eagle is 60
ing to be a great thing for the dis
trict, as water is something which is
woefully needed in the district.
did not have an opportunity of going
down into the mine to view the new
strike, but they are working away at
it; in fact there is lots of work going
on all over the camp.
THE town of Fairview is being
moved to the mines. The old town
is three miles away, and that is not
very good for the men who work in
the mines. They started the rush up
the gulch, and everybody is follow
ing them. They have already start
ed a hotel there and there is a great
deal of building going on besides.
1t is a great camp.
"The greatest amount of work now
going on is at the lease of Knox,
Kirby, Lamb and Stoneham on the
Nevada Hills. They have three en-
gines-two for the double compart-
ment shaft, and one for the COM
pressor. They are utilizing about
everything that can be had in Fair
view. They have but thirty-ive days
in which to complete the lease, and
you can imagine how the work is
flying. They have nine men doing
nothing else but sorting ore, and have
seventy-five men in all employed.
They are taking out a fortune a
day"

DIXIE A n N
Eastern Capitalists Buy the Famous
Carpenter Property.

NdIpCuttr
A deal vas consummated last week
whereby the group of claims owned
by Buford j. Carpenter and James
Schnitzius, at Dixie, generally refer
red to as the Carpenter strike, were
sold to a group of eastern capitalists,
whose names as given in the doucu-
ments are as follows; j. J.. Davis
and T. ]. Kane, of Anderson, In
diana; Albert Emorel, of Richmond,
Indiana and DR.. B. j. Flanagan, of
Chicago.
Fifty thousand dollars in spot
cash was given the discoveries of the
property, and now plans are under
way for the early installation of suit
able machinery for the working of
the ore of the acquired mine. These
plans include the installation of a 60
stamp mill, and already twenty
stamps have been oredred. A gaso-
line hoist and other appurtenanccs
are already on the way.
The purchasers of the Dixie prop
erty have organized what is known
as the Dixie Gold Mining company,
with a capital stock of 1000, 900
shares. In addition to paying Messrs.
Carpenter and Schnitzius $4,000 in
gold coin, one third of the stock of
the corporation is to go to them also.
The sale was made only after the
most rigid examination of the prop
erty by competent mining engineers
employed for the purpose. Data
furnished by the engineers disclosed
the fact that the lode matter is
~traceable for 5000 feet. It is thirty
feet wide and assays show values
ranging from $40 to 100000. Eight
leasers are now actively at work, and
shafts are down in several instances
to a greater depth than fifty feet. All
work done so far has resulted in dis
closing formations of the most en-
couraging sort. and the new owners
naturally believe they have one of
Nevada premier properties.
Now, that Dixie is about to take
her place as one of Churchill county's
most promising districts, the Fallon
interests should bestir themselves to
conserve the trade of that section for
our business men. Inquiry on the
part of this paper discloses the fact
that Dixie is only fifty-two miles from
this place, via Saltwater, over a
route that will allow of the construc-
tion of a good road, At the present
time travel is forced to go by way OF
Wonder, a long circuitous route, re-
quiring ninety miles of travel. Love
lock is a close competitor of this
place for Dixie trade, 1t being only
n~inety-two miles from that town by
the route travelled, while a route is
available over the mountains only
forty miles long. The mountain
route can never be used, according
to our informant, as the grades are
prohibitive to freighting.
Fallon should rustic and cooperate
with the movement to construct q
road direct to Dixie, via Saltwater
and thus save for herself the trade OF
that section, which If judged from
present Dixie activity must be con
siderable in the future.-Churchill
Standard.

CREATE BIRD PRESERVE,
SAYS AUDUBON WORKER

NEW YORK. Oct. 50.-At the annual
meeting at the American Museum OF
Natural History yesterday afternoon OF
the National Association OF Audubon -
cieties. william butcher. the president.
emphasized the need. now that the
country was growing more thickly set
tied. OF setting aside tracts of land as
bird refugees. He also advocated an IN
crease IN the appropriation for the Bio
logical Survey since the $50 900 now ex-
pended for the survey furnishes infor-
nation regarding the economic value OF
birds which saves millions OF dollars
annually TO agriculture and forestry,
He said.
The cause we advocate is one or the
most important now before the public
IN that Il is so closely connected with
the agricultural and forestry interests
OF the country.
When we try to realize the enormous
sum that IS lost in the country through
insect pests which, the Government ex-
perts tell US amounts TO $500 600 900 an

CANNED POTATOES
FOR LONG CRUISE
Expected That Increase in
Cost Will Be
Offset.

The Navy Department has authorized
the purchase OF 10000 pounds OF canned
potatoes for the use Of the Atlantic fleet
on its way to the west coast. This is the
first time that this class Of provisions
has been purchased for the navy. Can
ned vegetables have been the subject OF
a special test by the army commissaries
in the Philippines and in Alaska, and
the reports sent to the Navy Depart
ment have been most satisfactory.
The timed potatoes are somewhat
more expensive than fresh ones. but It
is estimated that this increase in cost
VIII be more than offset by the fact that
a large percentage OF fresh potatoes be-
como Nnfit for use. Half million pounds
OF fresh potatoes will also be taken on
the cruise. but even this Is not enough.
so arrangements have been made for re-
ceiving potatoes and otaer vegetables
during the voyage.

GIRL UNCONSCIOUS
WITH GAS JET ON
Cause of Near AsphyXiation
Thought to Be an
Accident.

Unconscious from the effects OF illum-
mating gas ana with one Of the jets
in her bedroom turned partly on, Miss
Edith jameson, of 1870 Wallach street,
was discovered by her mother at 500
o clock this morning.
Miss jameson was hurried TO the
Emergency Hospital. where efforts were
made to revive her. II is believed that
she will recover. When fo1nd, life was
nearly extinct.
Both the police and the girls mother
are OF the opinion that the near as
phyxiation was the result OF an acel-
dent. as the Screws upon the gas jet are
loose. The suppOsition Is that she did
not fully turn the flow of upon retiring
last night
The coOr to her room was closed, but
one window was open, which probably
saved her life, and this leads the au-
thorides 70 believe that the a1air was
purely accidental.
