we're employed 9769 children under
1G years of age in all galnful occu-
pations, including those on farms. "
lie repeats: "These figures include
children OF gainful occupations, agri-
cultural and otherwise"
As a matter of fact, the census
bulletins OF 1906 which were quoted
are called the Census of Manufac-
lures" and are confined exclusively
to manufacturing statistics. The
number OF children from ten to 10
years employed in all galnful occu'
pations in South Carolina was, ac-
eordlng TO the general census OF
1900, not 97O0, but 95,2SO. OF
course the greater part OF these
7G,295, In fact-were employed In
agriculture; but that leaves 1S,9S5
employed I'm other occupations. II
Captain Smyth will look again az
the Census Of Manufactures" that
he has 80 optimistlcally misread, he
viii perhaps see that not only were
97OO children employed in factories,
but OF these, 9O06 were engaged in
the manufacture OF cotton goods and
knit goods alone-one of the facts
which being "in the south, he Is
TO know, and ought TO
know"
Returning now to my statement
that there must be 10000 children
Of from six to lG working in south
ern mills, to which Captain Smyth
80 strenously figures as follows
There are 100000 splndles In the
southern states. The children work
In the spinning rooms. Each spin
ner on an average. takes care OF
coo spindles. Therefore there could
not possibly be more than $4,000
splnners employed in the southern
mills, and all are not children by
any means"
Wen, We have gone over these
figures with cotton manufactures
who has been an advocate OF legisla-
tion restricting child labor, and the
results were astonishlngly different:
There are 100000 spindles now
reported In southern mills. From.
estimates substantiated by state
ments made by manufacturers when
declaring that their business would
be ruined by raising the age limit To
IA, 60 per cent of these splndles arc
run by children under that age. or
&. 5.S2O.000 spindles In all. The aver
age child under IA cannot operate
more than 3l2 spindles, which could
indicate the employment OF 1850
spinners under IA, Il is further est
mated that In addition TO these child
spinners there are 24,450 doffer boys
practically all under IA, and SSOc
boy sweepers, raising the total OF
children under IA employed in three
operations alone TO l.40O. But the
bulletin OF the bureau OF labor, No,
80. issued May. 1904, reports "a
large number" OF children under 1c
employed In southern mills in az
least 10 operations not considered
by Captain Smyth. who will perhaps
allow us 5000 additional children un-
der IA employed In these capacities

WILLOW CREEK.
Prospector Says District win BE a
Second Goldfield.

A. Sporeland returned a Jew days
ago from Willow Creek, where, in
the vicinity of the Goldsworthy strike
he is interested in a valuable group
of claims. Mr.. Sporeland thinks
very favorably of the Willow Creek
country, and he has an idea that it is
going to make a second Goldfeld.
The surface indications, he says, are
as good or better than they are at
Goldfeld.
According to Mr.. Sporeland; the
Goldsworthy brothers have the bo-
nanza showing in the camp, while the
Witherill find, now designated as the
Ramsey-Glover strike, follows as a
close second. Speaking to a Bullfrog
Miner representative he said:
In my entire experience as a pros
pector, l have never seen anything SO
rich. OF course, there is but little
work done. But the surface GER
tainly indicates an immense deposit
of high grade ore. At Ramsey's
there is a shaft down ~ feet, and
the bottom shows ore which will
average in the neighborhood of $500.
The vein carries a width of five feet
on the surface, while at the depth of
twelve feet it has widened to seven
feet. The Goldsworthy has picture
stuff which will go even higher than
this.
WILLOW was first prospeeted for
copper when the Greenwater STAN
pede was on, and little attention was
paid to gold. Later investigation,
however. has shown that the predom-
inant metal is gold, and that the ore
is exceedingly high in grade.
THE Goldsworthys have started a
townsite which they call Gold Valley.
lie Cyr and Havelin of Greenwater
are putting in a general store and a
saloon, and there are several other
businesses preparing to move in"
Mr.. Sporeland understands that
Steve Anderson has solda group OF
claims to eastern people for $4,000,
and that Mr.. Vandyke of Goldield
has purchased a group Of Stevens and
Leavitt.
Both groups have excellent surface
showings.

TONOPAH OPENS
.RAILROADER'S EYES

Archie w. Lake, freight agent of
the Southern Pacific, with headquar-
tiers at Salt Lake, came to Tonopah
yesterday for the first time. Mr..
Lake is here ON business for his COM
pany, and expresses himself as much
surprised to find such grown up
cities in southern Nevada.
Il had heard a great deal of Tono-
pah and Goldield," said he, but l
had not formed the slightest concep-
ton of what they really were. There
is a great deal of business for us
here, and we are going to make an
effort to get it. We are going to
give the people the best service pos
sible, and treat them as they should
be treated. We are, of course, get
ting lots of business from the San
Francisco end, but there is the
greatest interest being taken in this
part of the country in Salt Lake, and
the merchants and business men are
looking forward to better arrange
ments.
I'VE will put a man in here who
will remain steadily, covering the
trade of Tonopah, Goldfeld and
Rhyolite. To appreciate this coun-
try one must see It."

ORE BODY IS TAPPED.
Denver Claim of Tramp Con. Shows
Up Well.


One of the biggest things in min
ing circles this week was the break
ing into the vein at the Denver of the
Tramp Consolidated. Some distance
west, from the bottom of the winze
from the fourth level, the crosscut
reached the ore, and it is probably
the richest material yet uncovered in
this well known property, the rock
panning free gold and is exceedingly
high grade in character. The vein
has been cut through and carries a
width of eight feet. Drifts north and
south on the lead have been started
and it is the intention to open up the
body as rapidly as possible.
The winze from the fourth level on
the DeHver is 200 feet in depth. At
the 1862 point the vein was cut. 1t
dipped out and the opening was con-
tinued to the 200. Here a crosscut
was started and it was thought the
vein would be reached within a few
feet. However, the distance was
greater than supposed, and the fact
that the rock was of exceeding hard
ness rendered progress slow. The
vein, Mr.. Blackmar says, is soft and
easily broken, and he expects to make
rapid Roadway in the present explor-
alton.
The u%ncovering demonstrates the
fact, that better values may reason
ably be expected at the Tramp as
depth is attained. All the lower work
ings showed a decided tendency to-
ward high grade ore.
This is the same ore shoot which
has occurred in the Denver vein from
the upper to the lower workings. IT
was opened in the first tunnel level,
which is near the top of the noun
tain. and subsequently in the second,
third and fourth tunnel levels, all
of which tunnels are connected by
ihNt dhu ldAoC0 Ot Nlc eoHOOl- lObi
the fourth level the winze was started
and sunk vertically. This shoot was
cut by a drift fifty feet below the
fourth tunnel level. At the 100-foot
point a fault occurred, throwing the
vein to the east, which resulted in
the + body being again cut at the
113-foot point.
Superintendent Blackmer says that
the ore has changed materially in
character below this fault, the most
notable change being the presence oil
carbonates Of copper staining the
rock. Besides this, sulphides of iron
are coming in. The vein shows q
higher and also a greater uniform in
value.-Bullfrog Miner.

Many are Prospecting With Satisfac-
tory Results.
Mr.. G. NJ. Tucker, at n time the
proprietor of the Barrel house, but
who sold out and left here about
three months ago, arrived in town
from Oasis on Wednesday. He has
located a group of claims on Cotton
wood creek, three or four miles west
of Oasis, and has a sack of specimens
that would indicate that he is hot on
the right trail, and will catch it good
in the near future. The main ledge
in the group shows vein matter which
pans for five or six feet in width, but
two feet of it carries the best values,
and several assays show returns bet
ter than 800, and the lowest re-
ceived showed the handsome figure
of $S1.26. The rock carries a small
percentage of silver and is slightly
copper stained.
On the group are four more small
er veins, which r dipping in a man
ner which indicates that they will
join when depth is gained. One Of
them shows some splendid punches
of silver-lead, and promises to de-
velop into a bonanza in that line. Mr..
Tucker feels highly elated over his
prospects, and has plans for a larga
lot of development work during the
coming season.
There are many prospectors now

is being done that promises we'll 70.

OLD MAN MEEKER,s TRIP.

Old man Meeker carried out his
purpose. He drove his OK team from
Portland, Oregon, along the old trail
to the Missouri and thence to New
York City and down Broadway. At
last accounts he was on his way to
Oyster Bay with his rig, to try to
induce President Roosevelt to father
his scheme, to make q great national
boulevard of that old trail and to
mark famous spots along the trail
with monuments. His intention at
first was to go direct to Washington,
but learning of the absence of the
president changed his route and
went via New York City. He was

RICH ORE.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Refused for
Claims in Crimes Canyon.

The development of copper mines
east of Lovelock continues. The
greatest work has been done on the
properties of the Nevada United COM
pany of which j. T. Reid is manager.
For the past few weeks the work of
driving the 300-foot tunnel on this
property has been retarded on ac-
count Of making needed repairs TO
the boiler. The Burnley drills which
were advancing the tunnel at the rate
of nine feet a day were taken off
though the slower hand drilling has
been kept up and the tunnel advanced
at about four feet per day.
A crosseut made at 400 feet from
the mouth of this tunnel has cut a
sulphide ore zone for sixty feet and
has not yet reached the opposite wall.
From this crosscut they viii make a
raise up through the sulphide zone
some 400 feet to the old workings
where such large deposits OF rich
copper ore are developed.
A recent assay from these work
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1907-09-21

ings showed 81 per cent copper, be-
sides good values in silver and gold.
While working on claims to the
north OF the Nevada United holdings
last week Charlie Keith uncovered a
ledge rich in galena, silver and cop
per. Its silver values are 200 ounces,
while the copper stains are heavy and
chunks of galena glisten all through
It. This new find but adds another
of many rich showings on the claims
of the Nevada United company and
adjacent holdings.
Grimes canyon has been organized
under the name of Copper Kettle and
is reported to be very lively. Eighty
to 100 mining men are now in the
camp and the development on loca-
tons is pretty we'll completed.

fered $4,000 for their claims. but
have declined the offer, holding their
ground for a higher figure.
Two Reno parties, with automo-

the canyon for the pact two weeks
and are trying to get hold of likely
prospects from various holders.
Messrs. Erickson and Weller re-
turned last Friday from the canyon
where they secured claims that show
