gained.
The work which has been done OF
other claims here although none so deel
as the above mentioned claim, seem Il
intensity this fact.
There seems to be a remarkable dis
tribution of gold values in this section
which seems to point to immense ore
bodies at some point beneath the sur
face, and with the number of owners
and leasers here, it cannot be long be-
fore these are developed and exploited
The supply of water on which an PIP
tion has been obtained by the Phonolite
Townsite. Water and Light company as
sures plenty of water for the reduction
of owe grades of ore which will be
found.
In the Duluth end of the camp the
erosion appears to have removed the
everything p~orphyry to some extent and
exposed small assures to view which
with the development work in progress
there, are rapidly widening and getting
richer.
Adjoining the northern end of the
Phonolite district is the Peerless camp.
This camp is just being exploited and
from the values already gotten and the
surface indications this sister camp will
rank among the producers.
North of this is Cripple Creek and
Eastgate. At the latter camp, large
bodies of ore of good grade are already
exposed and with the assured abundance
of water there. milling plants will soon
be installed.
Across from Phonolite in a south
e~asterly direction are camps of Berlin,
lone and Bonita. The latter, a new
camp on the eastern slope of the Sho-
shone range on the Reese river gives
promise of being a good producer.
Westerly and northwesterly lie the
camps of Lodi and Mud Springs. In the
former, the Illinois mine is a constant
shipper and other properties are bling
developed. At Mud Springs, there are a
number of prospects of good value and
several of these.
Prospectors cover the hills and strikes
are constantly made.
In conclusion this entire section is
one that appeals to both the miner and
the investors. the varied character of
the ores and their values assuring ship
ping, smelling and milling propositions.
and ere long both milling plants and a
smelter will be in the course of erection.
A railroad connecting Austin with Tono-
pah passing through the same valley is
talked of and when sufficient tonnage is
assured this railroad will pass our doors
and through a section of country which
will vie with any other in Nevada in
wealth producing ore.

Phonolite, Feb. 1.-THE Phonolite
mining district occupies a portion of the
southern end OF the Desatoya noun
tains north of what is known as the
Ellsworth range, as named from its
principal mining camp.
The town of Phonolite is situated
about one and one-half miles south of
Burnt Cabin summit on the principal
road between tie southern camps (Tono-
pah, etc.) and the northern mining
camps of the state (Fairview, Wonder,
etc.) 1t is distant from Tonopah about
ninety miles northwesterly and from
Austin, about 55 miles southeasterly
Austin being the nearest railroad sta
ton and supply point.
A postoffice has been granted by the
government and a stage from Austin
carrying freight, express and mail is
now an assured fact. Travel which has
been suspended on account of severe
storms, has resumed since the snow has
melted and a daily influx of people has
begun.
The range in which the Phonolite dis
trict is situated has been, is and in
future will be more productive than
ever.
The formation throughout a great
area is varied. The southern end at
DownievilIe contains mines with values
in silver-lead which were in the early
days very rich and yet contain tons of
ore which will yield thousands of dol
lars under new and modern conditions.
The distinctive feature of this Els
worth range is the abundance of min
eral belonging to the lime group and
containing lime quartzite. conglomerate,
also numerous p~orphyries which trav-
erse the country in dykes.
A change occurs in the formation
north of Ellsworth and just south of
the Phonolite district. The rocks con-
tanning mineral of the calcite group
seem to disappear and the %porphyry
rocks predominant.
Andesite, rhyolite, quartz, manzanite
and malachite are present in the mineral
zone, and the values of the rocks in gold
appreciate toward the north end of the
district near Burnt Cabin summit OH
the main road.
Although the district is comparatively
young and not much development work
has been done owing to extreme stress
of severe weather, yet il would seem
that the main ore bodies will be found
beneath the younger andesite which
o~verlies this section and tina, tue ore
bodies were formed either at the time of
this flow or Immediately after.

STAMPEDE TO
LANDER COUNTY
Tenabo, Lander Co, New,


Feb. ~, 1907.
Goldfeld News:
This camp is enjoying it's first STAN
pede. The two stage lines running be-
tween here and Beowawe, the nearest
railroad point, are unable to handle the
crowds now pouring in. The hotel at
Browawe has an average of one hun
bred a day now, practically all of whom
are on their way here.
All this excitement has been occa-
stoned by the wonderfully rich strike
made by leasers on the Giant claim,
belonging to the Gold Quartz Mining
The vein is five feet wide
in places and runs three thousand dol
lars to the ton. The lucky leasers have
a carload about ready for shipment
now to Salt Lake and expect to make
regular shipments during the next four
months which their lease has to run.
Ed. Riggs formerly of Goldheld is
one of the lucky owners of this lease.
The Gold Quartz mine is continuing
it's regular shipments of ore to Salt
Lake, its ore averaging better than a
hundred dollars.
Others shippers from this camp are
the Little Gem mine, the Phoenix lease
and the Dutchman mine. The surface
ores will pan on almost. every claim in
the district, many veins running as high
as twenty dollars on the surface.
1t is easy to secure claims or leases
here and we all look to see ten thousand
people here before the fall.
The town of Tenabo will have in it's
water works system soon. which will
be a great convenience as the citizens
are now paying one dollar and a half
a barrel for water. Two new townsites
have already been laid out beside Ten
abo, and much building is going on.
Arrangements have been completed for
Immediately erecting a milling plant for
the purpose of treating custom ore. The
mill will be built about two miles from
the camp and water will be furnished
by artesian wells. this method of OBJ
tanning water having already been
proven by borings on the Dean ranch.
All forms of gambling ore permitted in
the saloons and the music of the piano
is heard at all hours of the night.
Miners are paid four dollars per day
and are in great demand.

PLOT TO MURDER CAR
IS NIPPED IN THE BUD
-
Eighty conspirators in the Scheme to
Make Way With the Ruler Of
Russia Are Captured.

London.-The Daily Telegraph's St
Petersburg correspondent reports the
accidental discovery and foilihg of the
greatest terrorist plot since the DE.
quensherist plot Of elghty-two years
ago. The correspondent says he has
the story from the authorities. Ac.
cording to the version no fewer than
eighty conspirators resolved a couple
of months ago to assassinate Emper.
or Nicholas, and plans were finally
fixed for carrying out the deed during
Easter. The plotters included officers
and other officials and civilians, whose
loyalty hitherto had been undoubted.
A large number of plotters, the cor.
respondent says, was necessitated by
the elaborate precautions adopted
nowadays to protect imperial person.
ages. The plan was, the correspondent
says, to approach Tsarskoe-Selo in dis.
tinct groups and then execute q sudden
and daring attack on the palace. The
first group, consisting of thirty-four
men, arrived on the Russian Good
Friday, when by some means UNI
known suspicious against them were
aroused, all thirty-four were arrested
and documents found in their posses.
sion led to the apprehension Of the
other members of the band In st.

IMPOSSIBLE To RUN CARS
WITHOUT POLICE PROTECTION
Outlook Bad for Settlement OF Strih
In San Francisco, and Meanwhile
People Are Becoming Expert
Pedestrians.

San Francisco.-The street railway
strike has developed into fight to
finish. Neither side is willing to
accept arbitration and the citizens
committees appointed to secure indus
trial peace have been unable to find
any basis of settlement. IL has been
demonstrated that the present police
force is inadequate and that stronger
measures will become necessary to
insure general resumption of service
If the struggle is conducted on present
lines.
Assistant to the President Mullaley
said on Saturday that he had several
hundred strikebreakers, motormen and
conductors, quartered in the company's
barns, and that they are competent to
operate practically the entire street
car system. Mayor Schmitz said the
police department lis competent to
cope with the situation" Chief of Po-
lice Oman said his men will preserve
order. Meantime the population Of
San Francisco is deprived of street
car service, subjected to the alterna.
tive of walking or paying five prices
for an execrable wagon service.
Reduced to an arithmetical aspect,
the problem is simply this: If fifty
police are required to afford safe con
duct to two street cars daily over six
miles of tracks when no passengers
are carried, how shall 200 cars be
operated in passenger traffic of $50
miles of tracks with a total of only
700 police, not more than half OF
whom can be on duty continuously?
That the running of two or three
cars a day may constitute the entire
street car service for a city of 300,.
600 people for an indefinite time is per.
fectly apparent unless an adequate
protective force is supplied.

WILL SPEND A BILLION.
Astounding Figures Demonstrate
Growth Of our Railroads.

Characterization railways will
spend close to billion dollars during
the present year in an extraordinary
effort to secure sufficient equipment,
power and track, including new roads,
to make 1t possible to handle the
great amount of traffic being offered
to them. If the car and locomotive
builders and the steel railmakers do
their part, the year will be a record
one in the three industries mentioned.
1t is estimated that If the manufac.
turers are equal to the task, between
100000 and $500 freight cars to the
total equipment of the railways of the
United States, fully $4,000 passenger
cars and more than 5000 locomotives
will be added to the steam power
which is now available.
It Is said now that the railroads will
Fay fully $92,000,000 for steel rails
during the present year. II this
proves true, the steel mills will have
to turn out about 100000 tons OF
that product. The output last year
was about 3,250,000 tons. II Is said
the western roads will use fully L.
100000 tons of rails and that nearly
100000 tons of this will be rolled
in the eastern mills.

FOR EXERCISE AT HOME.
Simple Device That Will Be Found
of Practical Benefit.

A simple device for home physical
training consists simply of piece of
wood four by two inches and one
inch thick, having two auger holes
one inch in diameter and half an
inch deep, writes j. II. Winchip, in
the Boston Transcript. Nail or screw
1t, with the holes exposed horizontally,
to the side of a room or building as
high as the shoulders of the person
who is to use 1t. Take two canes,
stick the ferrules in the holes and
stand with the hands (holding the
handles on the canes) nearly touching
the breast. AS you sway forward the
hands separate, thus giving space for
the body to act freely in pressing the
shoulders back, the head acting in
unison, while the breast extends for
ward, the breathing conforming with
the motion, thus exercising In
more hygienic manner than weights
afford. Deep breathing can at the
same time be practiced. Permanent
rods of wood, steel or brass tubes
may ne attached by swivels or ringed
screws to the block and used instead
of the auger holes and canes. The
rods are to have handles fitted for
use. In my opinion the device is
thoroughly practicable and should be
generally adopted, that strength and
beauty of form may be retained and
disease lessened.

at an earlier stage of the proceedings
In cases where bills of particulars are

There Is as yet no indication of

Messrs. Hawley and Borah will seek
to make the showing as to the al.
