Immense
Showing

One of the biggest properties OH what
was formerly the Walker Indian reser-
walton is the acreage of the Walker
Lake syndicate, composed of Tonopah
capitalists.
Sixty tons of ore that will pay to ship
from a shaft but sixty feet deep is a
pretty good record for any property.
There is today on the dump alongside a
60-foot shaft on the property above men,
toned that amount of ore CARRYING
splendid values in copper.
D. {. Beach, one of the original To-
Gators of the ground, was in Yerington
the early part of the week. From him
we learned that the holdings of the
Walker Lake syndicate comprise one Of
most promising groups in the entire
state
I'VE do not wish to boost our prop
erty, said the well known gentleman,
1t is not the desire of the company to
rush into print, as but little of the stock
has been Sold From the very begin
ming we have had mine. The values
began at the grass roots and so far as
we have been able to ascertain froa, the
amount of development accomplished,
they continue into the earth indefinitely.
At the present time we have large
amount of shipping ore on the dump
which could even at the present price of
copper be proftably shipped. How
ever, it is the intention to more thor
oughly develop the property before
marketing he product.
Preparations are well under way at the
mine for the establishment of winter
quarters, bunk houses and the such to
be built at once. The company also in
tends to put i'll spur from the main
line to the ground just as soon as condi-
tons warrant.
For some time past it has been openly
claimed that the property of the synd :
cate was one of the largest propositions
of its kind ever uncovered i'll this won
derful mining region On the surface,
the vein shows width of Is feet 1t
has been stripped for distance of $50
feet at surface and shows all the charac-
teristics Of permanency. The country
formation is porphyry and lime.
At the bottom of the shaft, already
stated to be 90 feet deep, the ledge aver
ages for the width of the shaft 80 per
cent copper, the values occurring in
silicates.
One of the very best evidences that
the ground is favorably considered is
shown by the fact that every man work
ing in the mine is taking out a consid
cradle portion of his monthly wages in
stock.
Recently George Drysdale, a most
competent young engineer, thoroughly
sampled the ledge at various places i'll
the workings The result of examina-
ton is known to have been highly salts

himself is a member. Among others in
terested in the development of the es-
tate are Key Pittman, ID. S. Beach,

Copperto
Reach 20

The present depression in the copper
market is caused by the concerted
action of European consumers, accord
ing to the opinion of f. A. Norton of
Denver, and the metal will shortly find
its price level, which he places at from
20 to % cents. Mr.. Norton is interested
with English and New York and Vir-
ginia capitalists at Encampment, near
the Wyoming Colorado line
The average price of copper for Is
years was IA 81 cents" said Mr.. Nor
ton, but it will not be that low again
for any length of time The demand is
SO great, that the present quotation of is
to II cents cannot long prevail have
recently visited the largest consumers in
Europe, and am satisfied from the in
formation | gained there that copper
will shortly settle down to from 20 to p
cents and remain at that standard price y
Mr.. Norton is entertaining the owners
of the copper properties i'll which he is
interested. The same capitalists own
81, 900 acres of land in Carbon county,
Wyoming, and are now engaged in
placing it under irrigation
In order to bring their Encampment
properties within reach of the market,
the company is constructing railroad
from there TO Walcott to connect with
the Union Pacific, distance of as miles.
Thirty-five miles of this new road is
already completed and the rails are on
the ground for the remaining stretch.
When the spur is completed it will open
a new coal field that will be within easy
reach of Denver the Hahns peak coun-
try, i'll which Encampment is located,
being exceptionally rich III coal as well
as copper.
1T will place new coal field at Den
ver's door and l hope will assist in set
Ting the present prices of coal,' said
Mr.. Norton. We are in the copper
mining business, but the opening of the
road to give us direct shipment for our
ore will serve also to place this new coal
on the market. -Goldfield Tribune.

about two months after the marriage he
contracted deep cold while attending a

Everything possible was done but to no

July l9 when lie passed away.
The young people were greatly de-
voted, and since the death of the young

ing from dependency and worry over
his death. She frequently stated she
did not desire to live, had nothing to
live for since the death of her boy, =
and her action, though coming as
shock, was not wholly unexpected.
Mrs. Kirkwood was the daughter of
Mr.. George Rammefkamp of Dayton and

from the State University with the class
OF 1908 and later taught school,

STORY OF THE SAPPHIRE.

works. Next to the diamond. the sapphire is the
