the United States, and his associates
have taken a bond on the Magistral

mines and the H. K Taylor holdings
in the Ameca district of Jalisco. II

for the Magistral and Las Moras
properties is 100000 and for the
Taylor holdings $4,000, and that

James P. Harvey of Los Angeles
California, representing Mr.. Clark
and associates, who examined the
Magistral and Las Moras mines a
short time ago, passed through this
city few days ago on the way to the
properties. The sinking of two big
shafts and other development work

The Magistral and Las Moras
mines are owned by l.. H. Taylor jr.
of Philadelphia, who is also interest

Guerrero and Zacatecas. Mr.. TAYLOR
acquired the Las Moras mines sever
al years ago. and early in 1906 pur-
chased the Magistral y Anexas prop
critics from the Dwight Furnace COM
pany of Guanajuato. In 1902 a
holding company, known as the Las
Moras Copper company, was organ
lied here for the Las Moras proper

We're purchased they were placed in
that concern. Colin Timmons. q
mining man of Los Angeles, who has
been in chargeof Mr. Taylor's min
ing interests in Mexico for several
years, is president of the Las Moras
Copper company. A short time ago
Mr.. Timmons obtained from Mr..
Taylor an option on the Ameea dis
trict properties and took this option
to the United States. where ne sue

IT HAS Been A
LONG time COMING
PREDICTION or A WRITER OF
THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS AGO
MAY BE REALIZED.

Some weeks ago, the Reveille
printed the news that the mill of the
Comstock tunnel company at Sutro
had been increased in capacity by the
addition of five stamps to the present
plant, making in all fifteen stamps.
The ten stamp mill already in opera
tion was constructed but few years
ago by Franklin Leonard, and prev
ious to that time there was no mill
at Sutro. Now that twenty feet of
high grade ore has been struck in
the Hale and Norcross but 100 feet
above the tunnel level, there is
strong probability of an additional
mill of large capacity being installed
at Sutro. In this connection an ex-
tract from an author who wrote
about 1870 will perhaps prove in
teresting. 1t reads as follows:
During the great flush year Of
1863, Nevada (claims to have) pro-
duced $25,000,O0 in bullion-al-
most, if not quite, round million to
each thousand inhabitants, which is
very WELL considering that she was
without agriculture and manufac-
lures. Silver mining was her sole
productive industry.
Since the abovee was in type, |
learn from an official source that the
above figure is too high. and that the
Weld for 1868 did not exceed 500
100000. However, the day for large
figures is approaching; the Sutro
tunnel is to pillow through the Com
stock lode from end to end. at a
depth of 1000 feet and then mining
Will be easy and comparatively mex
pensive; and the momentous matter
of drainage and hosting and hauling
of ore will cease to be burdensome.
This vast work will absorb many
years, and millions of dollars in its
completion; but it will early yield
money, for that desirable epoch will
begin as soon as it strikes the first
end of the vein. The tunnel will be
eight miles long, and will develop
astonishing riches. Cars will carry
the ore through the tunnel and dump
il in the mills, and thus do away
with the present costly system of
double handling and transportation
by mule teams. The water from the
tunnel will furnish the motive power
Tor the mills. Mr.. Sutro, the origi-
nator of this prodigious enterprise,
is one of the few men in the world
who is gifted with the pluck and per-
severance necessary to follow up
and hound such an undertaking to
its completion He has converted
several obstinate congresses to a de-
served friendliness toward his i'm
portant work, and has gone up and
down to and fro in Europe until he
has enlisted great moneyed interest
in it there. Reno Reveille.

CONTROLS YELLOW JACKET:
Mackay Has Possession of Property
Once Managed by Father.


Once Managed by Father.
The mystery of the ownership Of
the majority of the stock of the once
famous Yellow Jacket mine of the
Comstock lode was disclosed yester-
day. Clarence w. Mackay is the man
who last year furnished the money
to purchase 10000 out of the total
of 10000 in open market and there
by wrest the management from Rob-
crit Morrow, who had charge of the
property for quarter of century.
About twenty-five years ago Nor
row and Senator William Sharon de-
prived John W. Mackay of the con-
troll while the latter was concentrat-
ing his energies in other directions,
and the action of his son in ousting
Morrow is regarded in mining circles
as species of filial retaliation, apart
from any business reasons that may
have influenced him in cCnsummating
the deal. The buying of Yellow
Jacket stock in the local mining ex-
change last year excited great Curl
osity as to the identity of the people
behind the money, and. it was finally
concluded that syndicate of brok-
ers had been organized to secure con-
troll for themselves. The news came
out yesterday that the brokers had
been acting for Mackay.
The Yellow Jacket was one of the
heaviest dividend payers of the boz
nanza days, and it is said to still have
large bodies of low grade ore in its
depths. 1t is said that Mackay was
also led to invest because of the sue
cess of mill designed by Superin-
tendent Kinkead which probably
worked ore carrying only $3.50 to
the ton. A mill of this pattern has
been erected on the mine by Mac
kay's agents at cost of 500, 900.
Mackay's name will not appear in the
directorate San Francisco Chron-
icle.

tanning Songs-Orations and
Essays.

Last evening the commencement eX-
ercises of the Baraboo high school were
held. The Imperial quartette of Chi
cago furnished music that defies salts
factory description. If printers ink
could present picture of what was
poured into the ears of the immense
crowd that packed the Congregational
church last evening, it would be a rare
production. The singers were liberal
to the limit, returning again and again
to the repeated encores, giving every
variety of production from "Jenk s
Compound" to Crooked in the Cradle
of the Deep" and Gloves Old Sweet
Song" They gave an opening con-
cert, after which came the essays and
orations of the class, alternating with
more singing.
The church was tastefully decorated
with green and white, the class colors.
The motto, "Nulli Secundus" (second
to none) stood out in bold relief, white
letters against a ground of green, over
the class, the members of which were
seated on the platform back of the
pulpit.
The main part of the program was
opened by the invocation by Rev. G.
L. Koons, of the Presbyterian church.
The salutatorian of the class was
Erwin Frank Rau, whose subject was
Aaron Burr. He said in part, that
Aaron Burr graduated from Princeton
with high honors, having in mind the
ministry as profession. This he gave
up. In the march to Quebec he show
ed an abundance of skill and enthu-
siasm that was contagious. In the
battle he showed himself a hero. His
enthusiasm made him popular. His
range of knowledge was extensive, his
insight keen. Some date the down
fall OF Burr, when he killed Hamilton
in the duel, but it really occurred when
he endeavored by fair means or foul to
defeat Jefferson, in the election of 1900.
The one fine feature of his life was his
love for his daughter, Theodosia. He
was stole, had no moral sense, was
never ashamed, and went his way no
matter what the world thought.
The Lure of the Sea by Kathryn
Jacobs illustrated how much of the
world depends upon the sea. The
only absolute power in the world is the
ocean. 1t fills those who know it best
with awe. With the ancients it was a
huge monster. The sailor, who salts
fl d his boyish longing Ly finally be-
coming sailor, was never satisfied
with what he saw of the world, for the
sea always lured back. Artists have
been inspired by the granduer of the
sea; poets have raised tl3ir W ice to
sing about it. Man has never sue
ceeded in binding it 10 subjection. The

time afterwards the committee dis
covered that there was an error and
that the note should have read $1,73O
or $40 less. When the note became
due and about the time of the discovery
of the error the full amount called for
in the note was paid. The matter was
then brought before the board and it
was claimed that the attorney had
made a mistake in drawing the note.
A committee was appointed to consider
the matter with Mr.. Nc Clure but he
refused to return the money. At the
meeting today the special committee
appointed for the purpose reported that
the matter had been carefully investi-
gated and that an error had been made
in drawing the note. The committee
also held that Mr.. Nc Clure was not en-
titled to the $l20 and that the district
attorney be authorized to collect the
amount together with interest and
costs. Mr.. Nc Clure was present and
said that after he had agreed to make
the deal with the county that cOnsid-
cradle wood had been taken from the
land he was to receive as part payment.
He said he wanted to be fair and manly
about the matter and would leave it to
the members of the board aside from
the committee. Supervisor DeVOr made
an extended explanation and went over
the entire ground and among other
things said that it was agreed between
Mr.. Nc Clure and the county that a
certain amount of wood could be re-
moved and produced that documents
to bear out his statements. The matter
was then put to vote and every men,
ber present voted tor the resolution
which means that Mr.. Nc Clure must
pay back the money to the county or
stand suit in court.
According to statement by Mr..

Mr.. Nc Clure told him that he would
pay the money to the county in few
