TALES TERSELY TOLD Of
MEN OF THE HOUR
New York Commercially

Summer visitors to Richfield
Springs are not left long in ignorance
of the fact that the American navy
is represented at the Spa in the per-
son of the hero of Manila Bay. Ad-
miral Dewey, while not unmindful of
the dignity that doth hedge the great,
is a good deal of a democrat in his
way. He lounges gracefully about
the hostelry where he is housed and
disports himself in elegant fashion
upon the lawns.
His habits are so rigidly confirmed
that the cottagers set their clocks by
his promenades and drives-S:30 n.
m for the former and 4:3O p. m. for
the latter When the distinguished
seaman moves along the principal
thoroughfare for his constitutional
after breakfast the inhabitants line
up on the verandas or crowd the Win
dows to inspect the man whose guns
wrought a result as important in
some respects as the guns of Nelson
at Trafalgar
Admiral Dewey takes the waters
internally and externally. No one who
has not taken them internally can
understand the high quality of cour-
age demanded by the operation. To
drink the sulphur waters at Richfield
Springs requires not only faith, hope
and charity, but a certain splendid
| quality of ou-be-damnedness that
bespeaks a soul fit for desperate en-
terprises.
About 1880 a. m. is the time
when Dewey drinks; and his manner
while drinking suggests lofty indif-
ference-to discomfort and danger that
might well be displayed in a more
conspicuous stage for the edification
of his fellow-countrymen They think
that his most courageous exploit was
at Manila. They are mistaken. If
they could see him swallow the con-
tents of a big tumbler of Richfield
Springs sulphur water they would
have far more convincing demon
stration of his valor. The GOODNESS
of the celebrated order, You may
fire when you are ready, Gridley." is
more than matched by the serenity of
mien and countenance with which he
absorbs a pint of the most whole
somely atrocious and most atroeious-
ly wholesome fluid that ever was
swallowed outside of Hades

CANNOT ESCAPE
THE RED METAL
Ledge of Copper at GreenWater Found
While Sinking Sanitary
Shaft on Town
Lot

The surveys for the branch railroad
to Greenwater from the Brock line have
been completed.
While sinking a sanitary shaft in the
center of the town of Greenwater,
workmen encountered ledge of copper
that evidences size and richness.
On the Red Boy property the shaft
is down 140 feet, the ledge in excess OF
four feet wide having pitched out OF
the shaft at a depth of forty feet at an
angle of 70 degrees, at which point an
alytical determinations covering, gen.
eral samplings for the width Of the
vein showed 1876 per cent copper or a
value of $74.S8 to the ton. The walls
are true and in place.
Saratoga has attained a depth of 1875
feet, the ledge on which is of the same
width as on Red Boy and like it shows
true contact walls. Here also the ledge
pitched out of the shaft at the same
angle at a depth of about thirty feet
and carried general values of 25.3 per
cent or $121.44 to the ton.
The ledge matter on both Is an al
tered andesite thoroughly impregnated
with red oxide of copper (cuprite) car
rying frequent and large lunches Of
blue and green oxides (azurite and
malachite, the heart Of every one Of
which is a black oxide Oenorite), but
with no bornite or pyrite Cor other sui
phides, likei. to be encountered before
a depth of 1900 to 1900 If other indica-
tions in the camp are to be taken in
consideration.
The Greenwater Calumet beyond
Kempland Copper is striking the lime
light these days. 1t is bringing into
daylight those fabulous evidences that
make it's owners confident they have
property like unto the best, and If
measured by returns from assay and
enlarged exposure, it belongs to the
high-grade class. 1t is good looking
property.

BOUGHT Mexican Mines

T. j. Whean and Fritz Werner have
sold to Foxton, Reynolds, Mann, II. c.
Norris and G. c. Cromp of Los Ange-
les the following mining properties:
Three Georges, containing 30 perten-
cias, near Nacozari, Sonora, Mexico, for
$50, 900, and an interest in the new COM
pany. This property is developed with
a shaft Of 100 feet on a vein of four feet
in width that will average $50 per ton.
On the same property Is another vein
opened by a shaft of forty-five feet
that shows over two feet of ore that
will average $50 per ton.
The same owners have also sold to the
same purchasers the property known
as the Induna containing 10 pertencias,
also near Cacozari, for $4,000. Mr..
Werner Is now a guest at the King Ed

THE PEACOCK MINING GROUP
Los Angeles Company Operating vaIu-
able Property in the State of
Arizona

Development work has begun on the
Peacock group Of claims belonging to
the Mckinley Mining and Development
company. These properties are located
about seven miles west of Prescott,
Ariz., one mile from the 8. F., P. & p.
railroad in the Copper Basin mining
district. The original locator of the
properties and president of the COM
pany has just returned to Los Angeles
after installing complete camp equip
ment and putting full crew of men
at work
The surface indications are reported
remarkable, the lodges of enormous
size and the ground generally miner
allied and copper stained for several
hundred feet The reports from the
mines are that while the workings are
only down about thirty feet the veins
of iron and copper sulphides encoun-
tered and the copper stained gouges
coming in indicate that large quantity
of shipping ore will soon be on the
dump, which will put the mine on a
paying basis. The shaft Is now being
of ore, and as depth is attained values
increase. The close proximity of the
properties to the railroad and the
abundance of timber and ample water
supply are all features of great COM
mercial value to the company.
The Peacock is a property of great
value and promises to be large and
steady producer, The officers and di-
rectors of this company are Charles e.
Mckinley, president; George T. Ire

MUSTANG MINE
A BIC BONANZA

Special to The Herald.
TONOPAH, New, Feb. 24.-No strike
hitherto made in the brief but sensa-
tional history of Manhattan has created
excitement and favorable comment In
this camp the equal of that which at
taches to the discovery of sulphide ore
carrying bonanza gold values in the
Mustang. For several weeks stringers
of high grade were encountered in the
workings from time to time, and now
the ore body from which they emanate
has been encountered at depth Of
210 feet.
The ledge has an average width Of
three and one-half feet and assays are
obtained as high as $1,000 and $4,000 In
gold to the ton. These values prevail
for length of twelve feet along the
strike of the vein and to all appear
ances the shoot is of large proportions.
The miners are still drifting along the
ore without depreciation in gold grade.
To all appearances Superintendent
Jack Humphrey tapped the ore shoot
at it's apex, as little quartz Of value Is
found along the roof of the drift.

MlCNES|TE MINE
WILL Be OPENED

Preliminary steps have been taken
for the early development of magne-
site deposits near Winchester. A few
days ago u company of Los Angeles
capitalists filed articles of incorpora-
ton in the county clerks office under
the name of the California Magnesite
company. The scale on which oper-
ations will be conducted Is indicated by
the capitalization of the company,
which is 100000, fully subscribed. The
directors of the company and the
amount of stock subscribed by each
are: w. S. Withers. s1535O0; ]. r. Nc
Lead, $4,000; c. E. Payne, $4,000; F.
Yale Adams, $22.200; w. H. Young,
s22, 300: S. A. Pawley, $44.5O0. Los An
geles is named as the principal place of
business.
The company's holdings include half
a section of land located about three
miles southeast of Winchester. The
magnesite deposits were discovered sew
eral years ago, but heretofore the
necessary capital to develop them has
not been available. 1t is believed that
the deposits are not only rich in
quality but extensive in quantity.

RECENT STRIKES
AROUND BULLFR0C

Billy Milliken, manager of the Bull
frog Victor showed the reporter of the
Bullfrog Miner big bou ulder which
was literally covered with Iree gold.
The rich stuff was from the same vein
that produced the sensation a short
time ago, but it has grown wider and
richer. On top the vein was between
eight and ten inches. 1t is now two feet
wide, having uniformly increased in
width and value with depth.
Jimmy Hughes the well known Echo
Lee pioneer and mining man, reported
the uncovering of some good values on
the Gold Top No. l claim, owned by
himself and Jack Thomas. While doing
their annual work a ledge was uncov-
cred that measured on the surface ten
inches, and assayed $12.70, At ten feet
deep 1t has widened to two and half
feet and an average assay of the
ledge gave a return of $79.9O. The
property adjoins the Bradshaw and
Paymel claims on the north and is near
the famous Hicks & Leavitt mine.
On Wednesday 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, stand
ing almost perpendicular, but dipping
slightly eastward at the bottom. The
vein matter is fine grain and partly
ular streak. This vein showed thick
ness of more than six feet in the upper
level. 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 1918. At this
depth, 100 feet more, 1t should do much
better, both for value and extent.

PREACHER TELLS HOW GIVER

Rev. ]. S. Thomson, pastor of the
Independent Church of Christ, preached
a sermon on "The GiVerS Fortune"
yesterday. He said in part:
"rhe knowledge of any subject Is in
creased by teaching it. The more the
teacher gives to his scholars the richer
he becomes. The mental faculties are
developed and stores of mental wealth
are increased by giving away knowl-
edge. The teachers Of history, of
geography, of mathematics, Of music, of
languages, of any branch of education,
are forced to study those subjects most
earnestly and thoroughly, and thereby
their own knowledge Is deepened and
broadened. But this is not so in giving
away houses, lands, money, horses
clothes and other things. The more we
give away of such things the fewer we

LONG BEACH
WANTS SHELTER

1t is stated that Long Beach may OBJ
tain the big million dollar smelter

that A. D. Myers, the mine owner, who
will build a 100000 residence on the
ocean bluff at Long Beach, is strongly
In favor of locating the smelter on the
coast.
A deal is now pending between the
syndicate and the Salt Lake railroad,
whereby the latter will donate site
on land to be filled in on the inner bay
of San Pedro.
The smelter is said to be one of the
industries which the Salt Lake rail-
road is striving to get, and which it
desires to locate on the tidelands now
in dispute.
The Bixby interests also are known
to be interested and have a PROPOSE
