DEPTH OF DEATH Valley

The United States geological survey
has Just completed a line of spirit levels
TIN ough Death Valley. California, and
much t. the surprise of every one ia
miliar with the region has ascertained
great as was supposed. Preliminary
figures give for the lowest point a depth
of 276 feet below sea level. Benefits
we'll. which is near this point, Is 206
feet below sea level. These figures may
be altered by 2 or 3 feet when the final
computations are made. but they are
probably not more thar 3 feet in error.
The geological survey now has elevation
marks on the highest and lowest points
of dry LAND In the United States.
1t is a strange coincidence that these
two extremes are both in Southern CAL
ifornia and only rs miles apart. Mount
Whitney is a Zoe or two over 1880
feet above sea level. while Death Valley.
as above stated. is 276 feet below. Be-
California. was flooded by the Colorado
river. 1t contained the lowest point of
dry land in the United States. a spot ss7
feet below sea level.
Previous estimates of the depth of
Death Valley based on barometer read
ings gave for the lowest point figures
varying from $50 to $50 feet below sea
level. The level line of the geological
survey is believed to be the first accur-
ate determination of elevations in that
locality that has ever been made.

A recent report from the Lee Bo-
nanza in the Lee district states that a
very rich shoot of ore has been opened
in vein No. 4. This II is stated shows
a width of s feet. While no assays of
the material have been made 1t is
learned that it all pans well and shows
a quantity of free gold to the naked
eye. The company is working a good
force of men night and day and opening
up the ground very rapidly. This prop
erty is one of the several holdings of
the Rhyolite Mining & Brokerage COM
pany.
BULLFRoC VICTOR
The main tunnel of the Bullfrog Vic
tor has penetrated a 2l-foot basalt and
quartz dyke which is stated to return
good milling values for the entire dis
lance. Present indications are that this
will prove one of the big mill
ing propositions of the camp.

MANY GOODSTRIKGSAT BULLFROG

Rhyolite. New, March est is re-
ported that ore running as high as
s1S3.50 in gold has been encountered
in the crosscut from the 100-foot level
at the Amethyst. The Amethyst is one
of the properties controlled by the
schwab syndicate and is under the SUI
perintendence of w. B. Morris and gen.
eral management of Bryce Turner, the
latter being also general manager of the
Montgomery Shoshone. The Polaris
crosscut, one of the properties of the
Montgomery Shoshone, is running to-
ward the Amethyst ground and this
crosscut 1t is stated is now in high
grade milling ore. Two feet of the face,
according to a test made by Mr.. Turner
ran $3.50, and the width of the other
two feet went above $500. The report
has cause a great deal of confidence
among Amethyst shareholders and it is
thought that the rich Polaris vein has
certainly been encountered.
GOLDEN scEPrRE STAKE
Sulphide ore was broken into a few
lays ago At the Golden Sceptre. This
property is among the deepest workings
in camp. The discovery was made. in
the west crosscut from the S00-foot
level at a vertical depth OF 600 feet. AS
say tests shove an average of $12 per
three feet across the face of the tunnel.
The finding of sulphide ore at this depth
is regarded as very significant in camp.
The main tunnel of the Golden Sceptre
is being continued to catch the Hobo
and Eclipse leads.
sILvE1 on THE BULLT1o0 TEDDY
Vice President e. w. Griffiths of the
Bullfrog Teddy brought in some sam
days ago which returned an average of
$16.s3 to the ton in gold and silver. The
ore is similar in character and texture
to the material which is being encoun-
tered in the workings of the West Ex-
tension and the management believe that
the same body has been encountered.
The shaft is down at only a superficial
and day to open up the rich body which
is believed to underlie the White Rock
claim of the Teddy. The richer ore on
the West Extension now being encoun-
tered will run as high as $4,000 to the
ton while a shipping average goes into
the hundreds. The company Is now
sacking the ore being taken out in the
shipment. The hoist recently ordered
for the Bullfrog Teddy is expected in
a few days.

California Expected to Re-:

LABOR UNIONS WILL
HEAD THE MOVEMENT

Washington, d. c., Nov. 4.-Cali-
fornia is preparing to insist upon
the complete exclusion of Japanese
at the coming session of Congress.
This information leaked out today
when II was stated that Secretary
Straus took up the Japanese ques-
ton at the last cabinet meeting, and
explained that the japanese. were
slipping into the United States via
Canada and Mexico despite the new
immigration laws.
Word has reached Washington
that there has been no diminution
in the ability of the Japanese labor
agents to furnish laborers to western
railroads, and Callfornians are ask
ing where does the limitless supply
come from. 1t s reported that many
Japanese who have enlisted to pass
from Canada to Mexico and vice YER
sa through the confines of the United
States have never reached their des-
tination.
The California congressman are
expected to lay this situation before
congress this winter with a request
for further legislation. 1t is fully ex-
peeted that their insistent demands
will be augmented by the fact that
the battleship fleet will be In the Pa
cific at that time.

LONDON MaREET
SLIGHTLY OFF TO-DAY

London, Nov. 4.--The rise in the
Bank of England rate of discount,
coupled with the unsatisfactory con-
dition in New York as revealed by
Saturdays bank statement, caused a
depressing effect on the stock ex-
change today. Consols dropped X
and Americans were offered in many
cases point below parity without
buyers. The condition here, how
ever, is regarded as very sound and
the declines registered and the ad-
vance bank rate are regarded as
purely an active measure to prevent
the New York City six per cent
bonds from being placed here.
America purchased today whole
gold in open market to the extent
of about 100000 pounds sterling.
Discount Rate Raised.
London, Nov. 4.-The persistent
demands from America for gold in
spite of the recently increased dis
count rate of the Bank of England,
and in the face of the continued
rise of the cable transfer rate, caused
the Bank of England this morning to
raise Its rate from X to 6 per cent.
The announcement of the rise occa-
stoned somewhat of furry locally.
Since Thursday the United States
has drawn daily from the Bank of
England substantial sums already
aggregating $57.00O,O 900. and Egypt
had also recommended withdrawing
gold. Financial circles here now
incline TO the belief that six per cent
will suffice and that no further ad-
vance will be necessary.

pany, charged with conspiracy, were
ordered opened today by Chief Jus

supreme court sitting here. Efforts
have been maue by counsel for Hoff-
stot and Friend to keep this docu-
ment sealed.
The principal objection of the
counsel was that Mrs. Chadwick be-
ing dead, could not be called upon
to verify any of the statements in
her deposition, but the court ruled
that the depositions had been taken
legally and that both sides were rep-
resented by counsel at the time Mrs.
Chadwick gave the statements con-
tained therein, hence there being no
opportunity TO obtain better evil
dence, the depositions could be ad-
mitted.
