TEN PER CENT COPPER
In THE VICTOR CON

Without doubt the most important
strike in years for the Victor Consolidated
mine was made this week when Superin-
tendent Joseph Treloar encountered the
ore in the raise from the 800 level. says
the Eureka Reporter. The raise had
reached a point about sixty feet above the
500 level when four feet of nice shipping
ore was encountered. Mr.. Treloar has al
ready followed this ore for distance of
twelve feet and finds that it Is widening
out considerably. There Is big stretch
of ground between the point where the
work is being carried on in this raise and
the winze which was sunk from above
some years ago and from present indica-
lions Superintendent Treloar has opened
up an ore body which will place the Vic
tor among the big mines of Tintic. The
ore carries 10 per cent copper, eight to
ten ounces silver and other values making
it a very desirable grade for shipping.
While the work of opening up this ore
body is going on through the raise Mr..
Treioar will drift TO the south and try to
tap the ore at another point in order to get
a better idea as to the dimensions of the
ore body.
Everything considered the Victor is rap
idly coming to the front and Mr.. Treloar's
friends are pleased to see that his work
is meeting with success.

MINES OF ELY TRIM
DOWN WORKING FORCE

Simultaneous with the announcement
of the dismissal of 100 men at the prop
critics of the Giroux Consolidated, comes
the report that the Consolidated Copper
company has made material reductions
in its working forces at the Ruth and
the Veteran Ely mines, says the Ely Min
ing Expositor
At the Veteran fifty miners were laid
off recently and the action of the fore
man in letting out the men came as a
great surprise to everyone in the district,
as it was the general supposition that
the working force at the Veteran would
be largely increased this month. The
reason for the action has not been given.
At the Ruth and Star Pointer shafts
of the Nevada Consolidated about forty
miners have been notified that their jobs
were vacant At the Ruth only one shift
is being employed and at the Star Point
er the activity is confined to unwater-
ing the main shaft. 1t has been an
nounced that two shifts will be placed
on the Star Pointer within few days,
but that would only give employment
TO about twelve men.
In letting out the men at the Ruth
and Star Pointer the foreman gave the
information that they were long ways
ahead of their work, and that 1t would
be useless to put large forces of men
at work. until the smelter at McGtll is
ready to treat the copper ores from the
Ruth group. Both properties are now
in a position to supply the big smeiter
with all kinds of ore.
The majority of the miners who have
been on the payroll at the Giroux and
other properties left for Goldfield. Salt
Lake and other western towns.

and Charles W. Goodale, general man
ager of the Boston & Montana company,
was elected vice president. Mr.. Gillie
and Mr.. Goodale have Just completed an
exhaustive examination of the Barnes
King mines, spending nearly week
there, and they have Joined in an Off
cial report to the stockholders. which was
made public last evening. Rumors of
what the report would contain were out
on Monday, and resulted in rush to
unload stock, and the price quickly fell
from 81 per share to 81 cents. at which
latter price sales were made In Butte.
Many thousand shares were thrown on
the market In New York, and probably
as many more in Boston. and thousands
of shares more are listed for sale.
The Barnes-King Development COM
pany was capitalized for s26sO.000, in 40O,-
900 shares at s. each, and in the under
writing every share was offered by the
promoters. and greatly over-subscribed.
Butte alone subscribed about 100000.
and a great deal Of the money was re-
turned after the allotment had been made
in New York.
President Gillie and Vice President
Goodale report that the net value of the
ore in sight In the mines Is $4,000.

avs the winnemucca Silver State

says the Winnemucca Silver State
Times.
Cramberger had with him samples of
ore that showed free gold hanging to il
in massive chunks. He had half doz-
en- assay certificates which showed val
ues of ore running from $50 to over s., 500
a ton. Besides these he had a small
bottle of nuggets which he claimed he
had taken from fifty pounds of ore from
his bonanza shaft.
He claimed that in working on the
ledge from which he received the as
says he showed, that at depth of five
feet he had suddenly uncovered what he
presumes to be an ore shoot, from which
he took the samples he showed to the
astounded throng at Golconda. The sam
pies, a number of them, are all large
and alive with the yellow metal. and
estimates have been made that a ton
of such ore would be worth S200. 600
Squaw valley is situated about fifty
five miles due east of Goiconda, in Elko
county. 1t has long been known as
very favorable gold mining district and
some very fine prospects have been
opened up at Gold Circle, short distance
from Squaw valley.
The story Of Cramberger is accepted
in part as true by Golconda people and

"WHAT"s IN A NAME"
Greenville Man Has His Changed to
Better Suit this Country.
(Greenville News, 10th. }

=
For the sake of brevity and con-
venience, Harris Kantorovitz, a well
known naturalized citizen, had his
name changed to Harris Kantor by
Judge Hydrick, in the Court Of Com
mon Pleas, yesterday. The petition
was presented to the court by Alvin
H. Dean, Of Cothran, Dean & Goth
ran. and after hearing the good rea-
sons in the argument, Judge Hy-
drick signed the order. which gave
the petitioner a new name, one in
accord with the English tongue, and
more to his liking In the home of his
adoption.
In signing the order Judge Hy-
drick acted under the South Carolina
statute providing for the changing Of
ones name for good and sufficient
reason. There are great many ma
turalized citizens whose names may
be euphonious enough in their ma
tive tongue, but which are burden
some to the American ear, and, of
course, entirely meaningless. In
South Carolina it may not be possible
to secure q divorce, but 1t is very
easy to change ones name. The pro-
ceedings are simple, the costs little
or nothing and the attorneys fees
reasonable.
Mr.. Kantor is we'll known cutter
and tailor. He has been living in
Greenville about year and Is at the
head Of l.. Rothschild's tailoring es-
tablishment. He is very intelli-
gent and capable man. and secured
his naturalization papers year or
