RAWHIDE LIVELIEST
CAMP in The STATE

w. II. Stevens, formerly of this
city but at present engaged in bust
ness at Rawhide, came in from that
camp yesterday and states that Raw
hide is without a doubt the liveliest
camp in the whole state at the pres
ent time. He states that there are
many leases working and that some
very rich ore is being extracted.
AT the present time said Mr..
Stevens, there are more than 1000
people in the camp and more are ar
irving daily in stages and automo-
biles. There are sixty leases work
ing and many fortune seekers are
working their own properties. There
are twenty-one saloons in the camp
and several stores. The town is com
posed mostly of tents at present, but
cabins are being erected for the win
ter just as rapidly as lumber can be
received. | believe that Rawhide to.
day is the most bustling mining CAM
in Nevada. Reno Gazette.

SHOSHONE MILLS
GREAT OUTPUT

BY tomorrow night, if nothing
happens in the short space of time
intervening, the Montgomery Sho-
shone mill will have run twenty
eight days out of the thirty days OF
November, with two eight-hour shifts
per day. The mill was shut down
one full shift and a portion of an
other, SO the output for the month
is figured as twenty-eight instead OF
thirty days.
The management announces that
the mill has been grinding out $50
tons of ore per day on the average
all during the month, which brings
the total of ore handled in the mill
up to 1900 tons. The direct ship
ments to the Salt Lake smelters have
not been heavy this month, ten cars
having been shipped, as announced
at the mine office. Three cars of
concentrates, estimated at $4,000 a
car, have also been shipped and s15,-
900 worth of bullion has been sent
to the mint.
Before the completion of the mill,
Malcolm Macdonald made the state
ment that the mine would pay a mill
lion dollars in dividends the first year
following the starting of milling OPP
erations. If the present output IS
continued for one year from Deem
Der LIST, the gross output will be ST.
740, 900, which seems to indicate that
Mr., Macdonald's prediction has a
fair chance OF being realized. II is
expected, however, that the output
will be largely increased over the
present satisfactory results.
Development is being steadily con
tinued on the several levels in the
mine, stopping and blocking out orc.
Owing to the breaking of the pumps,
sinking in the triple-compartment
shaft has been discontinued, but 1t is
expected that the work will shortly
be resumed. The flow of water is not
decreasing but is steadily increasing,
the flow having reached nearly So
900 gallons per day.-Rhyolite Her

BROCK BUYS
into TECOPA CON.

II. G. Mcmahon, who returned
from Los Angeles this week, says
that John W. Brock has taken over a
large interest in the Tecopa Consoli-
dated, paying cash for same, and that
the spur from the Tonopah and Tide
water railroad will be built just as
soon as material can be secured. The
smelter proposition will not be taken
up until the financial sky is clearer.
The output of the Tecopa has been
cut down to sixty tons a day, the
smelter at Salt Lake refusing to take
more than that tonnage for three or
four months, after which the smelt-
ing trust has agreed to allow the Te-
copa company to ship to other smell
tiers If desired. the trust holding a
contract for the entire Tecopa out
put. The Tecopa working force will
be maintained the same as usual and
development OF the ore bodies win be
continued. The report that the mine
is to be shut down is not true. says
Mr., Mcmahon.
In speaking of the M%ayhower, Mr..
Mcmahon says that there is also q
rumor afioat that the property is to
be closed down, which report is also
untrue. The development viii be
continued as planned The rumor
that the contract for a mill has been
let is a little premature, although
plans are being considered. The mill
viii not be ordered until the financial
stringency is over. but tests on the
ore will shortly be made and ever
thing at the mine win be placed in
readiness to make an output to ac.
commodate at least twenty stamps.

VAST WEALTH OF THE UNITED STATES.

The report Of the secretary OF agriculture on the crop returns OF
the year makes most excellent reading for the croakers, and for those
who have expressed the conviction that the country has gone to the
demnitton bow-wows. The crops for this yea are the greatest ever
known, perhaps. in the history of the nation. These crops are now be-
ing moved, and will return to us 81 412,OOO0OO This is $651OOOO 900
more than the value of the crops last year; $1,103,00O above that Of
1905; 1.253, 900 900 in excess of 1904 $1,495,000,000 above that Of
1903, and $2,695.0OO,0OO above the returns of 1899,
There were produced this year 625,576,OO0 bushels of wheat val
ud at 100000 O0i 741,521O0O bushels Of oats, valued at $4,000
600; 81, 100000 tons of hay worth $660O000OO, and 2,553732 bushels
of corn, the value of which is $1,S50toeo. The cotton crop amounted to
$65OO0OO0
There is a volume of figures upon which to ponder. Millions and
millions of donars-bnions of dollars. The value of the exports of
farm products is 81 O55, 100000. This is the amount of money which is
to come back to this country from our shipments abroad. We were talk
ing a short time ago about throwing sixty millions, or one hundred mil
lions of dollars into the banks of New York. Now we have a thousand
millions coming back from Europe for our crops. And the money is
coming sure.
This gives an idea of the vastness of the wealth of the United
States, and We have not said anything about the mineral output. What
is going to stop a country like this from righting any financial condition
which may adse? We may drag along for a short while, but there Is
n doubt of our coming out all right, and that very soon.

new FACTOR IN
LIFE Of NEVADA

When the mining men Of Nevada
pooled their interests and began the
serious consideration Of erecting in
dependent shelters and mills for the
handling Of Nevada ores. 1t was one
Of the wisest things this coterie Of
brainy men ever launched. The de-
cision means more than the mere
Withdrawing from a crowd chat has
too long Slapped the life blood of the
paramount industry OF the state, it
means the establishing OF a new fac
tor in the commercial life of Nevada.
It means that Nevada is preparing
to walk alone, cutting loose from in
terests which have only reaped bene-
fits from the bosom of the state and
given naught in return. Truly, that
decision reached and. IL carried out,
will be one OF the greatest things
that ever happened for the welfare
and development of the state.
And, while the men interested are
seeking a site for their smelters and
mills they will not overlook the re-
gion along the Carson river. Along
the banks of that stream are ideal
sites for mills and smelters. Then,
too, within a stones throw of the
sites are immense deposits of lime,
great mountains Of iron ore and
thousands Of tons of other necessary
ores for nuxing and kindred pur-
poses.
The most favorable site probably,
would be somewhere down toward
the Brunswick region on toward the
Moundhouse. where not only the ores
and deposits necessary for fluxing
exist in large quantities, but good
railroad facilities car be secured,
The Southern Pacific already extends
into Moundhouse and this branch
taps the southern country. Then the
Virginia and Truckee might build It's
WIG idihtu VI tAAtilSlOii lONdlu ilt
Masonic region and bring another
camp into the Nevada shelter. On
the whole it Is a pleasing prospect
and If the mining men mean bust.
ness, ID there is no doubt but they
do. It will appear as pleasing from an
investing standpoint as from tho
o%retical side.
And 1t might be said In passing
that this decision is far wiser thar
any long-drawn investigation o.
junketing committees sent to the ma
tional capitol to confer with Presi
dent Roosevelt. Nevada has the ore,
and 1t has all the requisites to handl,
them, 1t has the money and the mel
with financial brains to look afte
this handling. With these things
7 why It is necessary to trot about tn
country and enter into a long-drawl
battle with a combination which /
no doubt prepared to do battle. For
; get It. and instead erect the smel
ters. the mills and turn out yelloy
, bars from Nevada instead of high
grade re.-Carson City News.

The security gave another instance
of what virtue there is in speculation
al times like these The stock had
been forced down as low as $4.75 4
