MACHINERY FOR
THE BREYFOGLE

j. j. Trimble, manager of the Man
haitian Breyfogle, received a tele-
phone yesterday from the mine fore
mar stating that the double COM
partment shaft had reached a depth
of forty-three feet. Last week a two
foot vein of oxidized ore was passed
through. the ore showing good
values. At the present depth he re-
ports the formation changing into
sulphides and while nothing was ex-
pected to be encountered before
reaching the same depth as the
Thanksgiving, indications are now
favorable for a strike in the near
future.
The hosting machinery ordered
from Los Angeles three weeks ago is
at Goldfeld and should reach Tono-
pah today. 1t will be forwarded to
Manhattan at once and by the end
of the month will be in operation.

LANGLEY AND TRIMBLE VISIT
MANHATTAN AND REPORT
CAMP ACTIVE.

j. w. Langley, and his partner, j..
j.. Trimble, who is general manager
of the Breyfogle Mining Company,
returned last night from Manhat-
tan, whittier they had gone the day
before on a tour of inspection. Their
trip had to mostly with the Man
haitian Breyfogle, but they took in
the entire district, and were much
surprised and pleased to note the
improvements which had taken place
in the camp within a short time.
"On the ~Breyfogle, which endlines
the Thanksgiving" said Mr.. Lang
ley, they are sinking a double COM
partment shaft, which is down forty
five feet, and is being solidly tim
bered. The hosting works are now
in Tonopah, and will be forwarded
to Manhattan right away, and will
be in commission by the list of the
month. Although the shaft is being
sunk in line the values are coming
in in spots. The assay of a selected
sample yesterday gave a return of
$2,147.S9.
The Mustang Extension, which
adjoins the Breyfogle on the south,
is also sinking a double compartment

BROKER LANGLEY
BACK IN TONOPAH
SAYS INVESTORS HAVE THEIR
EYES IN THIS d.
RECTION.

j. w. Langley of the well known
brokerage firm of Langley-Trimble
Company, returned yesterday from a
visit of several weeks in Los Angeles,
Mr.. Langley stayed for the fiesta
festivities and Shriner convention.
He reports Nevada as having been
well represented and that the Shriner
delegations from Tonopah and Gold
field lost no opportunity to boost.
Their slogan (which could be heard
in the hotels, on the streets and oc-
c~asionally seemed to come from the
blue SKYE was:
"Goldfeld, Goldheld, Rah-Rah-Rah,
Tonopah, Tonopah Ha-Ha-Ha,
Nevada.
They were one of the attractions
and should there have been any
among the 1905 00 visitors who were
not familiar with southern Nevada,
II is safe to say they nov know we
are with the live ones.
Mr., Langley reports an increasing
interest is being shown in Nevada
mines. Many investors who, hereto
fore, have confined their operations
to real estate. are beginning to recog-
nize the broader field offered here
and are looking our way. A new
mining stock exchange has recently
been organized-its hackers are en-
terprising and responsible men and
with the advent of a number of Ton
opah and Goldfeld operators, who
contemplate opening branch offices
there, he thinks it but a short time
before Los Angeles will be as great
a mining center for Nevada as is
San Francisco.

REAL ESTATE PRICES.

Are the prices Of real estate
high?
Certainly they are not
People make the value Of land. We
need people.
That answers the question Of whcth'
or the prices Of real estate are high.
Real estate prices are high when
people want and can get the land. IL
people could come here and buy land
and build permanent homes, 1t would
make the prices Of land very high.
Real estate has comparative small
value except when people crowd to-
gether. or where people want to raise
food
Land Is only valuable when many
people want their homes quite near
together. That makes values.
The real estate surrounding Ard.
more and all other Indian Territory
towns is not high. but It will begin
TO get high when We get representa-
tion in the United States Congress. It
VIII go higher and higher when We get

II Is OF supreme Importance to the
welfare Of the state that men be

best fitted for the important work.

States had passed all its title to those
persons comprising the Choctaw and
Chickasaw communities OF Indians,
and that the government nor the In.
dian nations can separately or jointly
by any action deprive them OF their

The courts have held that congress
and the department cannot deter
mine rights conferred by treaties or
by grants from the government except

IN BEHALF OF FIFTEEN HUNDRED
INDIAN OFFICIALS.
AGAINST INDIAN OFFICIALS
Fifteen Million Dollars Worth Of Tri.
bal Property nvolved-Restrsin-
ing Order Against Disposal Of
Funds Asked For.

The most important suit that was
ever filed with the clerk of the United
Safes district court since the estab.
lishment of the citizens tribunal is that

James r. Garfield asking that they be
restrained from disposing of any of
the tribal communal funds, and the
unallotted surplus lands until the
rights Of the petitioners have been de.
cided by a competent court.
The suit is brought by the plaintiffs
to enforce the enrolment of these
parties on the tribal rolls udner the
treaty on account of the fact that
negro blood flowed through their veins
The contention of the plaintiffs is that
they are entitled to enrolment the
same as the mixed blood whites OF

About sl5OOO.OOO worth of property
is involved The action was brought
by the firm Of IIagler Sans & Lee
Of this city. When seen Saturday NJ
