CINNABAR DEPOSIT.
Discovery Is Made in Property Mean
BOiie,

There can be no disputing the fact
that cinnabar has been discovered in
Mono county. The only question is
the extent of the deposit. J. B. MIL
Ter. who made the discovery on one
of his claims, about four miles from
Bodie, in the neighborhood of Potato
Peak, has been doing considerable
work in the way of development. A
shaft has been sunk about seventeen
feet, but as they were not equipped
with blower to furnish fresh air
even at this depth, they were forced
to temporarily suspend operations.
So strong was the flow of carbonic acid
gas in the shaft that Mr.. Miller came
near being overcome, and it was i'm
possible to ignite the fuse. This is
one of the strongest evidences of Gin
nabar or quick silver deposits. Taken
together with the good specimens OF
the ore found in the rock in the shape
of CONNIE, it looks like Mono county
would add another valuable deposit
to her already boundless mineral
wealth. The editor of the Bodie
Miner recently took number Of
samples to Nevada for the inspection
of experts, and SO well pleased were
they that they will visit the property
in short time with view of taking
it over.

rich ORE Being
Mined At BUCKLEY


The mines In the vicinity OF Buck
ley. Walker Lake district. are being
rapidly developed In q systematic
way and while there Ia no excitement
or boom on yet the eyes OF the
mining world will soon be turned
that way as there are i've different
properties now getting out shipping
ore. and as soon as the railroad peo-
pie put In the side track al Buckley.
II will be a lively place. as then the
different shippers Will commence
hauling down their ore.
The Bonanza mine. owned by the
Margaret-Nevada Mining company, a
Seattle corporation, which Paul
Buckley and Captain Nels Peterson
promoted. are still sacking ore. and
have recently let two contracts to go
down 100 feet deeper in each shaft.
They have recently uncovered a sill
yer vein which promises to develop
into something remarkably good.
The company is also sinking for
water in Wild Horse basin, below the
mine, and are now down ITS feet
with their shaft, expecting to get bed
rock and water at 200 feet. The
moment they are assured of a plenti-
full water supply they will at once
commence the erection of a stamp
mill to treat their ores. They now
have over 1000 tons of fine milling
ore on the dump of No. shaft, with
enough ore in sight in their work
ings to keep stamp mill busy for
two years.
|. If they are unsuccessful in getting
water in the vicinity of their mine
they will put in pipe line and pump
water from Walker Lake, which is
about six and one-half miles distant
! This mine will undoubtedly be one Of
the big producers of Esmeralda coun.

l.. N. Cook & Co. (the Hoosiei
Mining company, are employing 8
large force of. men and have about
finished their buildings ready fol
winter work. They already have {
nice shipment of silver ore and will
soon be ready to ship several cars pei
week This property joins the 30
nanza mine on the north and east
and on the south and west Messrs
Lynch and A. Hues are getting out /;
very rich lot of silver ore. This prop
erty came very near passing into thu
hands of the Mizpah people of Tono
pah, but the owners could not quit

however, by the statement OF one OF

An aggregation of Denver capital
lists is also preparing to do extensive
work on ground adjoining the Los
Angeles company, and have about
perfected an organization to be
known as the Square Deal Mining
company, in which Mr.. H. B. Gilbert,
the locator of the ground, has large
interest and will have charge of the
development. The company has nine
claims in the group and has had as
say returns of from $3.50 to $22.44,
and this from the location work only.
Mr.. H. B. Gilbert, the locator, is an
old-time miner who has had the fore
sight to recognize that conditions in
mining have changed as well as other
things, and in his prospecting has not
confined himself to hunting for for
nations found in other sections, with
a result that bids fair to place him in
the list with those who have made
good in Nevada. Although 70 years
of age, Mr.. Gilbert does not hesitate
| to tackle any work about a mine, and
can hold up his end with many a
younger man. Mr.. Holly of Denver,
who is interested in the new COM
pany, is arranging to be in the dis
trict soon with an equipment for
work, and the development of the
property will be continued during the
winter. The new company will have
ample capital for it's purposes, as a
number of Denver mining men, who
have known Mr.. Gilbert for many
years, have signified their intention
of subscribing literally to the stock

The erozacat on the fourth level
has again exposed the footwaii Of the
great ledge. Again has it been de-
iermlned that the rich ore body goes
down. with the assurance that there
h being developed a great permanent
mine. Within a few days the miners
viii have driven across to the hang
ing wall OF the ledge where the larger
vein occurs. and which Is high grade
from the surface TO the bottom OF the
third level. The ledge contains soft
ore and by the middle of the week
IL will be possible to crosscut it's en-
tire width OF sixty feet
There are other high grade veins
beside the seven-foot vein on the
hanging wall. one in particular about
the middle of the ledge three feet
wide, that will be crosscut. The
middle vein carries high values and
has produced some of the shipping
ore. Another large vein near the
footwall will lno doubt improve with
the additional 100 feet depth. In
every way the most promising indi-
cations are at hand that the great
Ramsey Comstock mine is on the eve
of opening up one of the bonanza
strikes of the state of Nevada.
Recent discoveries in the face OF
the last drift on the third level have
been OF very choice character. This
relates to the drift on the hanging
wall vein. 1t has been driven nearly
200 feet from the crosscut and dur
ing the last few days the entire face
has had exposed picture ore. They
have been breaking it all down and
sacking it for shipment. This again
calls pronounced attention to the
great extent of the high grade ore
body and the immense quantity Of
shipping ore that is being blocked
out. Drifting will continue and
there is no telling how much farther
I the rich ore shoot will exist.
| AS soon as the fourth level cross
cut is finished the force of miners
will be increased both for stopins
out ore and to resume sinking in ths
shaft. The company proposes to ge
out frequent consignments OF higl
grade ore and to also sink their shat
as deep as possible with the presen
3O-horsepower hoist. By the end o
next week increased activity will b.
the order of things at the Ramse

Sleep and Old Age.

There is no question that the guam.
tity of sleep required steadily dimin-
ishes from infancy to old age. This
is rather interesting exception TO
the general rule that, as in so many
matters, old age returns to the needs
OF infancy. AS regards sleep, old age
is more remote in its needs from in
fancy than in any other period Of life.
II elderly people obtain good sleep
during the first few hours, and If they
have not lost that delight in reading
which we all had in youth, but which
so many of us curiously lose, their
case is not to be grieved bver. The
special value Of the earliest hours of
sleep, by the way, has been proved by
psychological experiment. The popu-
lar phrase beauty sleep" is well war
ranted 1t is the early tthe deepest
hours of sleep that make for health

sBiRD HUNT IN MIDocEAN.
Valuable Penguin Chased Over Decks

A penguin hunt during a winter
storm In the mid-Atlantic was one OF
the odd experiences of r. Il. Jones,
who returned yesterday from bird
buying trip abroad, says the Minneapo-
lis Journal Commissioned to buy the
stock for the great aviaries at Big
Island park, Mr.. Jones was returning
with some 80 out of the 1000 birds he
had purchased at the vari ous markets
In England and on the continent. His
travelling proteges were dashed in
small ates on the upper deck in the
lee Of the smokestacks.
One ing when the seas were
running high aud no passengers dared
TO venture upon the decks cate con-
tanning a penguin broke loose crashed
down TO lower deck and broke open.
Mr. Penguin promptly emerged from
the debris and started on a toTr OF ex.
ploration. 1t happens that penguins
are not available in the market every
day, this specimen being one of two
which Mr. Jones bought on the London
docks OF sailor just In from Africa.
Consequently he saw that heroic steps
were to he taken at once 4 one of hi,
rarest birds was to be saved. In i'm

A Queer Habit.

A New Jersey dog has most pecu-
liar habit, which is that regularly
every Sunday and holiday he fights
with some of his canine friends. Ordi-
nary days he is the most quiet and
peaceable dog imaginable, and would
no more think of picking quarrel
than Of refusing bone. But always
on Sundays and holidays that 1t is he
celebrates. Out he starts spelling for
a fight, tail erect and hair bristling.
He never fails to find one, either!
: Why he does this no one has ever been
able to find out, but there seems to be
something in the air on those special
days that excites his fighting instincts,
and he never misses an opportunity.
