NORTHERN SALOON IS

tainly takes the candy The corpora
tion controlling the famous gambling
houes and saloon is capitalized for
100000 and during the last year av-
erage dividends of 30 per cent a month
have been declared.
The directors held meeting several
days ago and declared dividend of
35 per cent on the profits of the pre-
vious month According to the follow
ing statement it would have been an
easy matter to have made it 40 per
cent: Net winnings from the gambling
tables, $30,431; bar receipts, $15,029,
making the total receipts $45, AGO. This
was the income from the Monte Carlo

there was stringency in the money
market

dend of 100000 on a capitalization of
100000 means return of $1,000

THIS STORY SOUNDS ALL
SAME HIGH GRADE NOVEL

Under a Palisade date, the Sparks
Forum of Monday of this week, prints
story that reads like novel, yet,
being Nevada anecdote, is doubtless
fact. 1t is one of those narratives
that sound so strange as to make he
tion lok amateurish. Th estory reads
to the effect that some time during
the year the stamp mill was in opra
tion in the Mill canyon, Eureka
county. A wood chopper sat down
to rest upon a ledge of rocks and
broke off piece which he thought
might be good for fux as he had been
told the smelter at Bullion, Elko
county, was in search of fluxing ore.
The wood chopper took his rock over
about eight miles across the noun
tains, and gave it to the assayer, Mr..
Raston. Mr.. Ralston being busy at
the time said:
81 will look into it soon,0 and laiu
it down and forgot it for a few days.
He then assayed it and got $4,000
in gold. Mr.. Ralston started on the
double quick to see his man, but he
had gone and no on knw which way
he went or wher eto look for him or
even knew his name. Mr.. Ralston then
began search of all the towns and
camps and even wood camps to find
him, but has not met with any sue
cess About two weeks ago a party
from Oregon was sent out to look
for whatever happened to. come in its
way and found some very rich ore
and it is now generally though ito
be the same ore that the wood chopper
had discovered All are much sur
prised at the find as it is in the op-
posite direction from where any one
had been searching for mine. There
are now plenty of men in the noun
tains prospecting and locating every
thing they think carries mineral. The
company's s assayer will reach Pine
Valley soon and then the mill will
make an assay of everything there.
They viii know just how great will
be their delight or disappointment.

STRIKE ON HAPPY

BIG ONE
PROMINENT MINING EXPERT
SAYS CAMP WILL MAKE GOOD.
$40 to $500 Ore in a Two by Six Foot
Vein---Tunnel Being Sunk On
Tough Nut Group.

A. B. Connolly, who is we'll known
in mining circles in the southern anG
eastern part Of tn estate. and who at
pres Mt is sueing the Sullivan and Rice
Brokerage company for an interest ir
the Rich Gulch mines at Wonder, has
just completed an inspection of the
mining properties at Happy Creek. Mr.
r, turned TO Winnemucca today and
has much praise for the new gold camp
in the northwest
Happy Creek is situated eighty miles
northwest of Winnemucca on the east
ern slope of the Jackson Creek range
of mountains. 1t is about fifteen miles
south of Quinn ricer crossing.
The main strike so far has been
made on the Tough Nut group the
property of Breuce & Goodwin of Gold
field. The vein on this property is
from two to six feet in width at the
surface and is of a lime quartz forma-
tion carrying hematite Of iron and free
gold. Assays on the property run from
$40 to $500. Country rock on either
side is composed of white basalt and
granite.
A shaft is now being sunk on the
ledge of the Tough Nut and will be
driven to a depth of 100 feet, when
cross cutting will be commenced.
Quite a rush has followed the dis
covery and eight or ten camps have
sprung up in the immediate vicinity.
A point of interest in connection
with the views of Mr.. Connolly on the
Happy Creek strike is the fact that he
believes the mineral there to be con
tinuation of the same belt that runs
through Rosebud and Seven Troughs

ADJUSTMENTS
The Age of Commercialisn.

There is always some reason for
success. In this age of commercialism,
everything must have some real merit
in it to be a lasting success. Any hing
must be worth ones time and money,
or the public will soon relegate it to
the rubbish pile. This is as true of
plays as of everything else. They must
be real, sterling, sound and solid
value to have a long continued sue
cess. The evergrowing triumph of
Clarence Benefits 1.-THE Holy City"
which has so completely distanced all
other religious plays and has so en-
deared itself to the American theater
going public, tells it's own story of the
triumph of real merit and true worth.
1t is the play of the century! "One of
the few, the immortal plays that were
not born to die" It's auditors all pro-
nounce it the greatest play they have
ever seen. 1t has no rival, no competi-
tor. 1t will appear at the Keylor Grand

OMMUNiCATED.

To the Editor of The Statesman:
Dear Sir: l think the chicken men
who exhibited their poultry at the
county fair were treated very unfair
To every question asked about judging
they got these replies: Judge today
and Judge this evening"" etc. until
Saturday evening came, and the fair
ended without any judging at all. Now
this kind of business is very dis
couraging to fanciers, as there is lots
OF work in getting up birds for show,
and not only that, visitors to the show
grounds could not tell who We're the
exhibitors as no cards are allowed on
the pens until after judging. therefore
giving them no chance to sell any sur
plus stock. 1 think it only just that the
fair association allow all entry fees
and express charges to all poultry fan
ciers who exhibited at the Walla Wal
la county fair. Yours,
SQUARE DEAL.
