YER|NGTON TO Be BIGGEST CITY IN NEVADA
After Visiting This Camp Frank Smith Returns to Tonopah
Bubbling Over With Enthusiasm

estimate of the width is conservative
The last report of the Nevada Douglas
company gave very fattering account
of the finances of the company and de-
clared the company's intention of erect
ing a 1O0O-ton smelter in the near flu
ture The big plant is to be put up at
the edge of the dry lake in Smith valley,
about four miles from the mine. There
water has been obtained at depth of
forty feet The Truckee River Power
Company's line is already in and crosses
the ground of the Douglas, so the power
difficulty is already solved. The rail-
road company has already surveyed a
line from Wabuska, seventeen miles
away, to Buckskin and this passes close
to the Douglas. Altogether the outlook
for the rapid development of the section
is very good.
Mr.. Smith states that the Champaign
lease at Buckskin is making good prog
ress. All around Buckskin the work of
development is proceeding rapidly.
Around the camp there are no less than
seven hoists at work. On the Calumet
there are two twenty-five horse power
machines in constant operation and at a
depth of 1877 feet in the principal shaft
splendid body of copper sulphides that
also carry gold, has been opened.
The popularity of the rock in the
section is that little or no prosecuting
has been done as yet, said Smith.
when they begin that work it is I'M
possible to say what they will discover.
One thing is certain. Yerington, or
perhaps l should say the Buckskin dis
trict, is bound to make great camp.
/ am so we'll assured of that that am
going to go to Buckskin to settle and
grow up with the country. "-Tonopah

Frank S. Smith has Just returned from
the Yerington country, bubbling over
with enthusiasm as to the brilliant fu-
ture in store for that particular section
of the state. He says that the show
ings are simply marvellous and that it is
foolish 70 expect anybody to believe the
truth of hearsay evidence alone.
1T is the most wonderful surface
showing imaginable, he said this morn
ing There is not doubt in my mind
that Yerington is going to be the big
gest city in Nevada when exploration
has developed the full extent of the
copper deposits. AS you travel about
through the immense section, little
dumps of green copper ore meet your
eyes on all sides There seems to be no
limit to the extent of the mineralized
zone. Roughly estimating l should say
from my own knowledge that the dis
trict is fifteen miles in length and twelve
miles broad All this great territory is
staked and know of no property where
any work at all has been done, that does
not show copper ore close to the surface. "
Mr.. Smith is interested in group
known as the Sunset group which lies
close to the great holdings of the Ne
vada- Douglas property, which latter
company now owns and controls the
famous old Ludwig mine. During his
inspection of this property Mr.. Smith
became convinced that the gronp holds
an extension of the lode being worked
by the big company. He says that the
ledge on the Sunset can be traced tor
l400 feet and that it varies in width but
he figures that it will average eighteen
inches of copper ore that will run in the
neighborhood of IL per cent.
"Of course" he said, these figures
are not accurate. / am merely estl-
mating. However, the extent of the
ledge is fact worked that out my

Mrs. Hayes has just received the sad
news of the death of her father, Col
/. Edwards Clarke, at Washington, d.
c., on January 9.
Col. Clarke was of old New England
stock, his ancestor, William Clarke,
coming to America in 1880 and being
one of the founders of the town of
Northampton, Mass. Col. Clarke grew
up there, was fitted for college at
Phillios Academy, Andover, and was
graduated from Yale in 1856, in the
same class with Prof. w. d. Alexander
of Honolulu. Col. Clarke was volun-
teer officer in the civil war and at its
close was appointed by President Lin-
coin United States Provisional Marshal
for the State of Louisiana.
He was largely instrumental in the
establishment of the United States
Bureau of Education, and was connect
ed with it, in literary and editorial
work. for the last thirty years of his
life. His books on industrial and high
art won for him international recogni-
tion among educators, and were trans
lated into many languages, including
japanese The Paris Exposition of
1900 awarded him a silver medal for
a single pamphlet on education, and
the st. Louis Exposition gave him
gold medal for his work in the cause
of art.
His wife survives him, and two chill

HAWAII MAY
PARTICIPATE
Provision Made for an
Exhibit at Seattle
Exposition.

Hawaii has a chance to be well rep
resented among the exhibitors at the
coming a-Yukon-Pacific Exposi-
| ton. to be held at Seattle in 1909 and
| with only a nominal cost to the Terri
tory, provided the government passes
the government participation bill pre-
pared for it by the hackers of the ex-
position project. All Hawaii has to do
is to give the matter the moral support
of the Legislature, something that
ought to be easily enough secured.
Henry E. Reed, the director of the
division of exploitation of the proposed
exposition, explains this in the follow
ing letter to the Chamber of Commerce.
Writing to H. P. Wood, the secretary
of the Chamber, Mr.. Reed says:
Your kind letter of December 26th
has just reached me and I am very
glad indeed to hear from you. I re-
gret very much that the Legislature
of Hawaii may not be in position to
make an appropriation for a Hawaiian
building at this Exposition. I UNDER
stand from Governor Carter as we'll as
from yourself that your needs are
many and that you have many places
where you can put any available
fund. At the same time. however, Ha-
wall could not possibly. benefit herself
to a greater degree than by making
an appropriate exhibit at this Exposi-
ton.
Understanding your financial situa-
ton we have provided in the bill for
government participation that the Uni
ted States shall assist your Territory
in the matter of an exhibit here The
bill carries an appropriation of $4,000
for your exhibit and $4,000 for build
ing, amounting in all to s125,000. 1t
seems to me that this amount will give
you adequate representation and If
your territorial legislature could see its
way clear to indorse this provision of
our government bill what we want
would then be accomplished without
expense to YOU.

News From the Famine Districts.

Sir Robert Hart says he can not
spare the Chinese-speaking customs Of
feers to help in the famine work just
now. The missionaries right at the
districts, where distress is greatest, are
doing all they can to help, and are
willing to give their time and labor
for relief work, when they have the
means. The viceroy has granted free
passes, removing all internal taxation
on food stuffs being sent for relief.
Another missionary writes: "Hope
the brethren will send a good large
famine fund soon. Can't get it here
too quick" Another report from one
district is that the distress is now SO
acute that children are being abandon
ed in hundreds. Think of those poor
starving little ones. Some mothers too
weak to care for them. No pen can
describe the sufferings, in many places,
among these people.
Relief is now coming in from differ
ent sources, both money and -four. At
certain points, money is asked for in
10 cash pieces; at other places the -four
is more needed. Work is provided
