Bullfrog gold mining district, has re-
turned from Reno. Shorty" owns
valuable claims In the Greenwater Sec
tion. He will cling to the property and
states that he will become one of the
big millionaires yet before he is called
to final account.
Sensational Gold Strikes
Reports of new strikes in every di-
rection are confirmed and mining ex-
element Is at a high pitch
NORTH STAR STRIKE-Recently
the miners on the North Star broke
into the big vein for which the tunnel
is being run. The last shots disclose
a magnificent wall, standing almost
perpendicular, but dipping slightly
eastward at the bottom. The vein
matter is fine grain and partly de-
composed quartz, which pans a regu-
lar streak. This vein showed thick
ness OF more than six feet in the upper
level, and the managers and miners
are firmly convinced that an increase
In width will be found in the present
working. The tunnel will be driven
ahead as rapidly as possible to cut the
upper ledge, and drifting will be com
menced on the new vein at once. The
ledge in question was opened up at a
depth of fifty feet some time ago. Here
1t was six feet wide and gave assays
as high as $918. At this depth, 100
feet more. 1t should do much better,
both for value and extent.

smelling plant for the reduction of
ores and minerals, and being thorough
ly satisfied from our Investigations
that such smelter can and will be
operated by modern methods and with
out injury to the surrounding prop
erty;
Therefore, 1t is the sense of the Los
Angeles chamber of mines that every
encouragement should be given and ex-
tended to those interested to construct
such plant at some suitable place in
Los Angeles county, and that we most
heartily invite the cooperation of the
members of the chamber and the citi-
zens. generally in bringing about the
construction of such a plant, and that
we pledge ourselves to do everything
in our power to assist those who are
inclined to undertake such an enter
prise"
Present at the executive session were

the chamber of mines; Fred A. Hines,
first vice president; Rol King, second
vice president; E. w. Gillett, secre-
tary; Maj. ]. w. A. OFF, Capt. H. z.

SEARCHLIGltT, New, Feb. 1O.-The
familiar, maxim about "the proof of the
pudding being in the eating" is truly
exemplified in the knocking that has
been handed to the Searchlight Term
inal Townsite Of late, and that the un-
called for criticisms are without foun-
dation is now very apparent. The first
cry made was that the railroad was
not coming to Searchlight. Along came
the graders. followed by the ties, and
last but not least the steel, only await
ing the coming OF the crew to lay it
on the roadbed. Next came a hue and
cry about the impracticability of the
depot site. Recent developments have
shown that the proposed depot site Is
located in the only feasible place. as 1t
would be utterly impossible for any
trains to come any closer to Search
light, owing to the steep grades. Fol-
lowing this came wall that no one
would dare build on the new addition
to the old town.

MILLIONS ARE WON
IN A MINING SUIT

Joseph de la Mar has won millions
In Nevada mines as the result of the
decision of Judge Seawell in the suit
of the Utah-Nevada company against
Joseph de la Mar. The mines involved
are the Monitor and Jim Crow groups
In the Ferguson district.
When the mines were first discovered
several years ago, options were secured
by s. T. Goode, mining engineer who
then went to Wall street to dispose of
his stock. Goode met Isaac E. Blake,
who died several years ago, after trans
ferring his claims to the Utah-Nevada
company. De la Mar also became inter-
ested in the project. The mines were
purchased with finances furnished by
De la Mar, who, according to Blake
promised to give him 40 per cent of the
stock De la Mar denied this agreement
in fighting the suit. The property has
yielded since it has been worked over
$4,000, 900 gross, and the suit was for
40 per cent of the net income. BY the de-
cision De la Mar gets the whole output
of the mines.

not without interest to the people of
our own Territory. The anti-gambling
law of Arizona, he says, goes into eff
feet April 1, and consequently at
midnight of March 81, all the gamb-
ling establishments of Arizona will
close indefinitely, and the proprietors
will pack their traps to go in search
of pastures new. And here comes in
the section of the letter which has
an interest for the people of this part
of the country, and we quote the
words of the writer, as follows:
BY conversations that have had
with several boss gamblers from diff
ferent parts of the Territory | learn
hat it is the intention of nearly all
of them to move owe to New Mexico
wnen the law goes into effect here.
[ always say it is generally under
stood that the present New Mexico
legislature will pass a similar law
before it adjourns. Then sometimes
they will wink at me, and sometimes
they will put on a loo of mock ser
iousness and say, that's too bad but
they intend to move, just the same.
l am we'll acquainted with a very de-
celt and intelligent nan who has
been in the business at Phoenix, n
he told me that the boys meaning
the Arizona gamblers, had it straight
through friends at Santa Fe, tina the
Legislature would probably have to
pass a law to quiet the public clam
Or, but that it would be fixed so that
It wouldn't cost as much to pay the
fine as it costs to pay the license.
And that is the reason why so many
of them are getting ready to move
into New Mexico when the law goes
into effect in Arizona"
We give this mans statement for
what it is worth, but it is so plausi-
BILE, and dove-taiIs in SO perfectly
with the general character and con
duct of our present Legislature, that
we cannot see any good reason for
doubling it. While it is possible that
a law which h legislature may pass
to quiet the public clamor," may be
SO framed as to coon alish what the
people of the Territory are asking
for, it is at the same time most GER
tainly doubtful, because the whole
record of the present session goes to
show that the gentlemen who consti- !
the majority in the house are !
