These lessons reveal God as directly interested and watchful in the moral actions of Ills intelligent creatures. God Is more concerned in men than He Is in worlds and systems. His regard has not abated. though sixty centuries have passed. Their infinite multiplica- ton and the interminable maze of the interiacing interests can never outgrow the powers of His infinite mind. God knows us as intimately as He did Adam and Eve. Cain and Abel. and nothing can be hid from Him with whom we have to do.

EDITOR BOOTH
On MANHATTAN

w. w. Booth, editor and proprietor
of the Tonopah Bonanza, after spend
ing two days in the camp, expressed
himself as more than ever convinced
that Manhattan will make one of the
greatest gold producing camps in Ne
vada.
The development you have done
in all parts of Manhattan this year
is literally making good all the claims
that have been made for Manhattan.
Personally, l have never had any mis-
glvings about the future of Manhat-
tan. The camp possesses the goods,
and the only thing necessary to bring
about a period of great prosperity is
to p~ersistently develop these resour-
ces. AS | said, / have always believ-
ed in Manhattan, but the work done
this summer would convince the most
obstinate doubter. You will soon ar
rive at a stage of prosperity where
you will not have to preach your own
virtues and merits. They will speak
for themselves.
"Tonopah has always shown her
faith in Manhattan. | notice that the
Tonopah men who have put money
into this camp have stood by their
propositions in steadfast and bust
nesslike manner, and that as a result
some of the finest properties here
have been developed by men who aid
ed in making Tonopah. 1t will not be
many months until Manhattan will
stand as well with the outside world
as 1t does with Tonopah.
Round Mountain is also making
good. That camp will surprise the
State with its gold production"
Mr.. Booth will come back to Man
haitian in a few weeks and devote
several days to a thorough inspection
of all the important properties in the
district. Manhattan Mail.

Sees TONOPAH
FROM AFFAIR OFF

Lew Humphrey of Salt Lake is in
town after having made a trip to the
southern part of the State. Mr.. Hum
phrey is interested in several local
mining enterprises of considerable
magnitude.
He states that outside of Goldfield.
Ely is the best camp in the State.
G~oldfeld, Mr.. Humphrey reports. is
a very lively place. There are fully
$4,000 people there and a great deal
OF business is being transacted. The
newspaper man asked Mr.. Humphrey
what the status of the labor trouble
at the camp was, and he replied:
IT is not very good. The trouble
appears to be as far from being set
tied as at first. 1t would not mr.
prise me to see them bring in for
eign help. Such has been threatened
and it is not unlikely that Italians
will be employed. Tonopah has a
rig Italian force of miners"
He stated that Tonopah is very
quiet and that everybody goes to
Goldfield to enjoy himself. Fairview
is reported Is being lively while many
of the other camps are rather quiet.
we will have a big camp here
said Mr.. Humphrey, when all the
other places are dead. have the
greatest of faith in Ely and as soon
mines producing, this locality will be
the center of attraction. In Gold
field and other gold camps they don't
appear to know very much about
Ely. The people there seem to be
mostly interested in gold mining and
they are irst-class boosters.
Il was talking to a gentleman and
his wife the other day and he was
telling me about the enormous gold
supply. when his wife remarked:
why, l could take this frying
pan and with a painful of this soil
would get good colors.'
Il presented her with 5 cents, and
she wanted to know what it was for

RUSHING WORK
IN The CATLIN
SILVER BOW PROPERTY TURNS
OUT TO BE A GOOD
SHIPPER.

The Catlin group, consisting of six
claims in Silver Bow, which was
bought by Bert L. Smith. c. D. Por-
ter and John Gregovich, has turned
out to be a shipper. Mr.. Smith ar
rived from the district on last Mon
day and has received the returns
from the first shipment which wen to
the Western Ore Purchasing Com
pany.
This netted 1856 a ton" said Mr..
Smith last night, "and the ore is be-
ing sorted for a second shipment.
which will go better than the first.
The following assays have been re-
turned from samples taken on Mon
day and brought in by me. From
V and a half feet, near the surface.
$500; across seven feet In the bot
tom of the west drift of the tunnel.
$27.56; from the face of the west
drift in the tunnel, across seven feet.
$42.6O; from the face of the east
drift in the tunnel, across nine feet.
$500; selected samples from the
second class ore dump, $54.51; from
the fine dirt on the ore dump. $21.34.
The showing looks awful good to
me, and we are going right after the
ore as hard as we an. OF course il
Is a milling proposition, but we arc
going to get out all the shipping ore
advisable at the start. We have
eight men at work; four of them
breaking down the ore, and the other
four sorting, and the former cannot
keep the latter busy. We are sorting
ore now that will run from $175 to
$500 a ton"

500 ORE ON DUMP.
Nevada Hills Leasing Company Is
Now Hosting Rich Ore.

AS the time flies and the 30th OF
September draws nearer the wonder
full showing on the Nevada Hills
Leasing company works gets better
with every shift; results have justi-
fed the management in the elaborate
preparation they made for mining,
and which We're not completed until
more than half of the time allowed
by their contract had expired. Today
they are handling the greatest guam
tity of ore, and it is by far richer, on
the average than even in the first
days of the strike, when the assays
there were exciting so much COM
ment.
The Slopes have widened into
great bodies of ore that yield so
much at each shot that a sufficient
number of muckers cannot work to
remove the product. This week the
output reached the greatest yet,
when the careful checking up show
ed that IS tons in t~wenty-four hours
vas being taken out of the mine.
Not only this, but it is a fact that so
much rich ore is being mined, that
$500 ore is now being thrown into
the dump, formerly the lodging
place of all ores under $50 per ton;
it will not be possible to remove
from the ground the output that goes
into the sack better than $3.50, and
often equal to $3.50, and from this
on the 500 ore will go into the
dump and await the period of ninety
days after the expiration of the lease,
in which the management will be
permitted to remove the output.
The force of ore sorters has been
increased to sixteen, while there are
six men employed in sacking; the
bins are full to the overlooking con-
%stantly. 1t now looks as if the lease
would, during the last thirty days
it has to run, more than double the
average maintained for the month of
August.
At present 1t is absolutely certain
that the stockholders of this COM
pany will receive a dividend large
enough to make each holder of a
block a neat fortune.-Fairview

BIG DEAL CLOSED.
Orient Group in Death Valley Is
Bonded.

BOn0cd
One of the best mining deals of
the summer has been closed by
Busch brothers, who have bonded the
Orient group and purchased outright
the Rusty Pick and Richmond
claims, all in the old hex mining
district Of Inyo county, California,
says the Rhyolite Herald. This dis
trict was worked for silver and lead
many years ago, and is located on
the Death valley slope of the Funeral
range, 10 miles south of Rhyolite.
midway between hex and Sleeps
head springs.
The claims mentioned were located
in June last year by John Erickson,
George Hale and Otto Donnell. They
were on their way to the Greenwater
excitement from Silver Lake. going
by way of hex springs. Finding
good Indications they stopped and
prospected on what Is now known as
the Orient No. 4 claim. A ledge was
discovered which gave excellent pan
nings and the p~rospectors filled seven
sacks with ore from the surface. This
was packed out on burros and ship
ped to the Selby smelter for treat
ment, the neares point on the Tono.
pah and Tidewater railway at that
time being twenty-five miles distant.
Mr.. Donnell was overcome by the
heat and died in the lower edge of
Death valley in July. 1906. His
death caused the property to be tied
up until the brother of the deceased
should come and arrange for the ap-
pointment of an administrator.
J.. B. Jensen. a prominent mining
man and field engineer for the Amer
lean Smelling company at Salt Lake,
heard of the strike and made a visit
TO the property. He then came at
once TO Rhyolite, and with p. 4.
Busch returned to the Ibex section,
spending several days in sampling
the ore, which ran as high as $1,000.
Mr., Jensen took samples to Salt Lake
City for analysis, and Mr.. Busch
brought other samples to be tested BY
local assayers.
That section promises to show
considerable activity this fall. The
Zabriskie station on the Tonopah and
Tidewater railway is not over eigh-
teen miles distant. and by grading a
new road it can probably be reduced
to twelve miles.
Several well known mining men
have visited that section, and all say
that the properties are looking good
and are worthy OF considerable de-
velopment. At present the water is
hauled six miles, but Death valley,
about two miles distant, has a good
supply Of water suitable for milling
purposes.

BOOSTS R~ANDSBURG.
Government Interested in Discovery
of Tungsten.

VI ahSNb[h"
The rich deposits of tungsten in
the vicinity of Randsburg have at
traeted the attention of the United
States government, and experts are
now on the way there, according to
Sheriff Kelley of Kern county, 70
make a report on the tungsten mines.
Kelly says the mining men of Rands-
burg look for increased activities In
the development of this section fol-
lowing the report of the experts, for
the value OF the deposits of this
newly discovered mineral already is
known to foreign makers of armor
plate for war vessels.
Tungsten is invaluable in the
heads said Kelly to a Los Angeles
Express reporter during a recent visit
to the southern metropolis, ''and the
largest mine and the greatest pro-
Queer Of this mineral is in the Rands-
burg district. The stuff is shipped in
carload lots to the Krupp gun works
in Germany. 1t is said that the rea-
son the Japs were able to visit such
destruction on Russian warships was
through the use of tungsten in their
| projectiles, while the armor of the
Jap ships, hardened with tungsten,
were immune to the assaults of the
Russians.
Another mineral almost identical
in character, and according to as
savers reports, of equal value, and
containing practically the same prop
critics as tungsten, is also found in
various claims. Like tungsten it is
of the same gravity as gold, or nearly
so. Tungsten is valued at $1,000 per
ton at the mine, after reduction, and
as ii comes from the mine runs 60
per cent upwards pure, the richest
ever mined running as high as 6S
2-3 per cent pure.
There are many facts connected
with the great mining center of
| Randsburg that few people in Los
Angeles are aware of. have been in
| close touch with the district ever
since it was discovered; in fact, |
| helped to pitch the first tent there,
and up to date have expended over
$4,000 developing two groups of
| claims in which / am interested
Could Randsburg be transplanted
anywhere to the state of Nevada, he
declares, 1t would oon prove to be
the greatest camp in that rich min
ing country.
Experience has taught the sherif
that surface work, such as is usually
done in California, is in most in
stances simply a waste of money.
The deepest shaft in the Rands-
burg district is one on the Yellow
Aster. 1t is down ver 100 feet,
and If other companies would profit
by the experience Of this company,
and sink straight down. instead of
rambling around, Kelly says, results
would be better, although the inn
portant fact to be borne in mind Is
that all the development work done
in the district from the start was
paid for by receipts from the produc.
