GREAT WEALTH NOT MENACE TO NATION.
By Henry CIews.

Let us bear IN mind that the vast individual
fortunes of Americans are nearly all self-made
and in the hands of men who began lie in
poor circumstances and that most Of the most
successful men in business are those who pos
sess high character, as well as remarkable ca
pacity, great thrift and other good qualities;
and that men of this type with great wealth
have never proved a menace to the public well

PROVING UP THE MINES
OF SEVEN TROUGHS

The Seven Troughs district in Hum
boldt county, has been proven up for
fair They have there not only the val
ues, but the depth, says the Humboldt
Star. The Seven Troughs Mining COM
panys Fairview group has turned out to
be a wonder. Samples have been taken
to Lovelock which speak for themselves
and for the mine. They were taken from
the 400 level. where pay streak of twelve
inches averages $3.50. A sample of the
ledge for four feet assays 5000.
The samples brought in from the mine
were taken by a disinterested party OF
Denver. A man of Cripple Greek who
has examined the rock on the FairView
claim and who is also familiar with the
Mohawk of Goldfield says that the Fair
view of Seven Troughs is a better prop
erty.
On the 250-foOt level of the Kinder
garten they have just cross-cut the Vein
which shows a width of three feet, and
which averages $500 a ton. The Mazuma
Hills is also in rich ore on the 200 level
The Stoker lease on the Seven Troughs is
down TO a depth of 125 feet and has four
teen inches of ore that goes 800 a ton,
and two feet and a half which will aver
age 500 a ton. The owners in Seven
Troughs are preparing a shipment which
promises TO eclipse those of the famous
Mohawk.
The strike on the Wild Cat claim, near
Farrell, bids fair to be a world beater,
and the owners have refused a large offer
for the two claims.

is more costly than in most mining sec

The mine operators at Goldfield contend
that the "smelter trust pays only S19 per
ounce for gold in ores that run less than
500 per ton; ores from 800 to $500 at rate
of settlement of 97l2 per cent 0aking gold
at so per ounce; ores from $500 to 5000
at rate of 9S$z per cent; and on all ores
valued at 500 and over the flat rate for
the gold is $50 per ounce, less per cent of
the assay value.
Considering the expansion in mining IN
Nevada the time is near at hand when
the mining, railway, and ore treatment in

an equitable basis. Each interest should
lend encouragement TO the other, for the
welfare of all Is mutual.

WEEKS D0INGS IN THE
CAMP OF BINGHAM

Wednesday morning the Tintic Mining
& Development company placed order
with the Rio Grande for twenty cars a
day to be delivered at the Yampa, be-
ginning next week which indicates the
intention of this company TO resume OPP
erations within very short time, says
the Bingham Bulletin.
This Intelligence was received in Bing-
ham with great delight. as it undoubtedly
means that the general movement for a
resumption of work throughout the camp
has set in. With the Yampa properties
starting up again about 800 men will find
employment and this, with those already
putting in their regular shifts, will leave
Bingham with about one-half the regular
pay-rolls.
The United States. the Utah Copper
and the Utah Consolidated the New Eng
land and the Ohio Copper are still work
ing the usual number of men. The Bos-
ton Consolidated added a few men on the
outside workings during the week and
several of the smaller companies have put
a few men back at work. The work on
the Mascot tunnel is being kept up as
usual, and while there are a good many
idle men in camp, the situation is by no
means as serious as a week ago.
The improvements to the Yampa smeit-
er are being rushed. and while in all
probability the furnaces will not be blown
in right away, everything is being put
into shape for the handling of a much
larger tonnage when the plant does start
will get out the ore and fill the bins in
readiness for the opening of the smelter
The Telegraph mine of the United
States company will probably start up
again the first of the coming month and
plans are now being made for the ex-
traction of a large tonnage from the
hempton property, the ownership of
which has just been decided by the Unit
ed States supreme court. This property
Is said to be worth SEQ coo or 81 600 600
and is in such shape as to allow of large
tonnage being taken out with compara-
lively a small amount of work
The Markham gulch mill has shut down
for a short time to permit of some neces-
sary structural changes. There has been
no cessation of work at the Utah Apex
although for a time attention will DE
given to developments The Apex is now
open to 200 feet below the Andy tunnel
and the incline has reached the Coroman-
del tunnel and a new level will be cut
here within sixty days. The Parvenue
tunnel will be pushed west 1000 feet ana
to the north 100 feet.
The new Phoenix 200-ton mill will be
ready in December when the conceutra-
ton OF ores from this promising property
will begin.
Another steam shovel has been in
stalled on the surface workings Of thte

WOMAN OPERATOR AT
CAMP OF G0LDBANKS

Miss Theresa Aguirre, well known in
Nevada mining circles, and VINO ATTAINED
prominence chiefly through her connec-
ton with the discovery of the rich mines
mornings stage for Goldbanks, the new
Hrrnboldt county mining camp, says the
Winnemucca Silver State News. Miss
Aguirre has previously visited Gold
banks and is very favoraDly impressed
with the possibilities there and 1t Is her
intention now to make more substantial
investments, although the nature of these
is not vet ready for publication.
Miss Aguirre is of Spanish descent ana
was born in the mining town or Bodle'
Cal. Ever since little giri she mas oee 81
interested in mining, and the lure OF the
mining life has a strong attracuoa Ior
her At the present time she is interested
i'm almost all of the new Nevada camps,
either as a holder of real estate or OF
mining stocks OF the latter she Is pos
eeseed of many thousands. and she is re-
nnfed to have made considerable money
out of mining in this state since the DIS
covery of TonOpah.
The story of her connection with the
discovery of Wonder is interesting, IN
that she recovered a large amount of
money from the sale of those properties
which she was in danger of being de-
frauded out of. The discoveries of Won
der had been grubstaked by Miss Agulrre,
when they stumbled onto the rich lodges
of the Churchill county camp. These
men, three of them, in locating the Won
der properties. failed to locate MISS
Aguirre in the claims. and later sold the
property without giving her her riShtful
share of the property.
In order to recover this amount she was
forced TO sue the discoveries. and did so
with success, recovering what was due
her.
Miss Aguirre expects to spend the win
ter in GOldbanks.
