BIG MINING
SALE MADE
IN DIXIE
EASTERN CAPITAL PURCHASES
THE FAMOUS CARPENTER
PROPERTY.
A STRONG COMPANY ORGANIZED
The Sale Was Made After Rigid
And Thorough Examination
of The Property.
A STRONG COMPANY ORGANIZED

A deal was consummated last week
whereby a group of claims owend by
Buford j. Carpenter and James
Schnitzius, at Dixie, generally refer
red to as the Carpenter strike, were
sold to group of eastern capitalists
whose names as given in the docu-
ments are as follows: ]. j. Davis
and T. ]. Kane of Anderson, Indi-
ana; Albert Emorel of Richmond, In
diana and DIR. B. ]. Flanagan of
Chicago.
| Fifty thousand dollars in spot
cash was given the discoveries of the
property, and now plans are under
| way for the early installation of suit
able machinery for the working of
the ores of the acquired mine. These
| plans include the installation of a
60-stamp mill, and already 20
stamps have been ordered. A gaso-
line hoist and other appurtenances
are already on the way.
The purchasers of the Dixie prop
l.erty have organized what is known
as the Dixie Gold Mining company,
with capital stock of one million
shares. In addition to paying
Messrs. Carpenter and Schnitzius
SIS $1,000 in gold coin, one-third of the
stock of the corporation is to go to
them also.
The sale was made only after the
most rigid examination of the Dixie
property by competent mining engi-
neers employed for the purpose
Data furnished by the engineers dis
closed the fact that the lode matter
is traceable for a distance of 5000
feet. 1t is 80 feet wide and assays
show values ranging from $40 to
$4,000. Eight leasers are now &C
lively at work, and shafts are down
in several instances to greater
depth than fifty feet. All work done
so far has resulted in disclosing for
nations of the most encouraging sort,
and the new owners naturally believe
they have one of Nevada's premier
properties.
Now that Dixie is about to take her
place as one of Churchill county
most promising districts, the Fal1on
interests should bestir themselves to
conserve the trade of that section for
our business men. Inquiry on the
part of this paper discloses the fact
that Dixie is only So miles from this
place, via Saltwater. over route
that will allow of the construction of
a good road. At the present time,
travel is forced to go by way of Won
der, long, circuitous route, requir-
ing 80 miles of travel. Lovelock is
a close competitor of this place for
Dixie trade, it being only 80 miles
from that town by the route travelled,
while route is available over the
mountains only 40 miles long. The
mountain route can never be used ac-
cording to our informant, as the
grades are prohibitive to freighting.
Fallon should rustic and co-ope-
rate with the movement to construct
a road direct to Dixie, via Saltwater
and thus save for herself the trade of
that section, which If judged from
present Dixie activity, must be con-
siderable in the future.

or it will fall utterly. The men in
the Standard Oil company utterly
lack the collective sense, 1t is indi-
vidualism gone mad-reduced to alb
surdity. They are not only insolent,
they are stupid as well and show
they entirely misunderstood the pow
err of public opinion and genuineness
of the public's sense of fair play. If
the fine is collected, the public will
pay 1.-THE public always does under
present conditions"
Where one removes ore from the
ground of another without knowing
that he is a trespasser the court holds
the trespasser only for the value of
the mineral removed, no punitive
damages being allowed. Where,
however, the trespasser wilfully and
knowingly crosses the intervening
property line and takes ore from his
neighbor's mine, he is liable to heavy
damages as a punishment for tres
pass in addition to the sum repre-
senting the value of the ore removed
from the vein by such trespass
The July statement of the English
board of trade shows increases of
3,605,500 pounds in imports and T.
009,200 pounds in exports. Prin-
cipal increases in imports were g.,
100000 pounds in raw matter and
1 100000 pounds in food and manu-
featured articles. The main increases
in exports We're 100000 pounds in
manufactured articles and 100000
pounds in coal.
The Encouragement at Manila has
been instructed by the department of
Justice to sue the Standard Oil COM
pany for $4,000 import duty, on an
old claim dating back to the turning
over of government from military to
civil authorities. The amount repre-
SCENTS the difference between the Ding
ley tariff and the present tariff.
The English board of trade re-
turns for July show that the imports
during the year amounted to $261,-
O66,520, an increase of $18,027,975
on those of the first seven months of
last year. The exports were $780,
261 1855, an increase of $35,046, 545
The total increase of trade is $780,
100000.
Automobiles valued at more than
100000 passed through the ports
of the United States in the last fiscal
year; $5,500,000 of these were ex-
ports and $4,500,O00 imports. The
foreign trade in automobiles has
shown a rapid growth in the past
few years, especially in exports.

The provisions of the Nevada stat
utes on the subject of work necessary
to be done to perfect lode mining
location are as follows: 1.-THE lOcat-
or of the lode mining claim must sink
discovery shaft upon the claim To-
Gated, four feet by six feet, to the
depth of at least ten feet from the
lowest part of the rim of such shaft
at the surface or deeper, if necessary
to show by such work lode deposit
of mineral in place; cut, or crosscut
or tunnel, which cuts the lode at a
depth of ten feet, or an open cut
along the said ledge or lode, equiva-
lent in size to shaft four feet by
six feet by ten feet deep, is equiva-
lent to a discovery shaft
This work is to be done within
ninety days of the date of posting
the location motive. There is no
statutory rule requiring the discov-
cry to be in the center of the claim,
but the U. S. surveyor general of Ne
vada requires it as condition pre-
cedent to the approval of survey for
patent.

The Bingham (Utah) miners un-
ion, through committee appointed
for that purpose, has asked for a
higher scale of wages in that camp.
Mine operators, however, have re-
fused to consider the proposition and
have informed the committee that
owing to the chaotic condition of the
metal market, and the probability of
fuel famine during the coming win
ter, together with difficulties expert
enced in getting ore marketed with
the present inadequate Transports
facilities, a change from the present
schedule is an impossibility. The
mining companies have had under
consideration curtailment of out
put, necessitating reduction of
working forces. Under these condi-
lions it is not believed that the min
ers will push their case for any in
crease of pay and hence their is little
probability of strike.
The Wells Herald truthfully says:
CHANGING over an exchange this week
we came across this in an obituary
notice: $50 far as we know he had
not an enemy in the world" It's
possible for man to go through life
without making enemies, but as a
rule that man didn't amount to three
whoops on a water barrel. If you
have decided opinions and express
them you'll make enemies. If you
are in any way different from your
fellow man he resents it, and if you
make an effort to rise above the av-
erage, the average is feminist you"
The men who have no enemies should
be tied UP in punches like radishes
and put on the market at five cents
bunch and they'd be high

THINKS" AND COMMENT

The conditions now in control of
the copper market are such as the
market is in nowise responsible for.
The term "copper" market" is here in
tended to more particularly designate
the market for the metal, not the
market for copper stocks-although
the latter is governed to some extent
by the same conditions that are hold
ing the metal in subsection. But
these are matters that need not be
discussed at length in this column;
it is sufficient to call attention to
them so that in the event of copper
undergoing further reduction in
price it will not be interpreted as
due to deficiency in the value of the
metal as commodity degrade
ton of copper" might, at the present
moment, be more appropriate way
of stating the case; rather. that con-
sumers are, through inability to
finance their several enterprises-by
reason of the stringency of the mon
ely market-prevented from entering
into contracts with producers at
prices which under more favorable
monetary conditions they would be
willirS to pay. The whole situation
may be best described as altogether
abnormal; in degree, chaotic.
