.UBEHEBE COPPER
MINES ARE ACTIVE
Eastern Promoters Visit the District
and Provide for Big Smell
ter and Other Improves
ments

I RHYOLITE, New, July 1.-THE Ube-
hebe district is not only to have
smelter in a short time, but railroad
as well. These plans have been de-
cided upon by the Ubehebe Copper
Mines and Smelter company. and the
purpose of the management is speedy
execution. The railroad is to be built
from Thorps, and both this and the
smelter project are to be undertaken in
short time.
The promoters of the proposition are
Charles E. Dryden, John e. Greiner, H.
G.. Merry, f. Wilhelm of Baltimore and
Colonel E. j. Smith of Cleveland.
These capitalists are interested with
Jack Salsberry of Tonopah, who ac-
companied them on their trip to Ube
hebe, but returned to Tonopah without
stopping over in Rhyolite.
1t is learned that the Ash Meadows
Water company began hauling pipe for
it's line to Greenwater Tuesday from
Amargosa station on the Clark railroad.
The pipe is rapidly coming and the
company is losing no time in distribu-
tion.
Work all along the line is being
pushed, and it is stated that the COM
pany will be ready to deliver water at
Greenwater by August 1.
Montgomery shoshone
In a recent lnI0TNlGW DOIldlu Ill-
lies, in discussing the Montgomery Sho-
shone mine, said:
1.-THE Montgomery Shoshone's new
three-compartment shaft has reached
the 50O-foot level, the station has been
cut and the first vein should be cross
cut in a few days. The Poralis and
Shoshone workings are now connected
and both properties are being operated
through the Shoshone shaft. All of the
drifts are being extended and raises
and connections being made between
the levels. The new shaft is connected
with the old tunnel shaft and every
thing is in readiness to begin hoisting
ore on q large scale as soon as the mill
is completed. A new seventy-fiye-foot
gallows frame has just been completed
A new double-drum Hendrie & Bolthoff
engine, with a capacity of 600 tons a
day, has been added. A large COM
pressor has also been installed with a
capacity sufficient to run the drills Of
the Shoshone and the Polaris. The
mining machinery will be run by steam,
oil being used as fuel. The mill will be
operated by electric power furnished by
the Nevada California Power company.
The mill work is practically completed,
with the exception of transformers,
motor for pump and electric power line.
Should the present plans carry 1t is ex-
pected that the mill will be in operation
on August l."

Special to The Herald.
SEARCHLIGHT, New, July Tine
recent Duplex strike was counted as
the best thing yet occurring in TINS I'M
mediate vicinity, but the discovery on
the Searchlight Spokane, where $ooo
ore was uncovered at grass roots,
promises to outstrip anything ever
heard of in Southern Nevada, and the
fabulous strikes of Tonopah and
Goldfeld must hereafter be associated
with the Spokane. AS announced last
week Assistant General Manager Al.
F. jennings while prospecting for
surface outcrops on the Spokane, un-
covered six inches of porphyrltlc
quartz that gave an average assay or
$685. Since then prospecting for the
best place to sink on the bonanza has
been IN progress, and it was determ-
ined to sink at the point where the
outcrop was largest and values ap-
peared best A hole has been sent
down six feet and the rock is averag-
ing $100 per foot. With the shoot
widening these values give promise of
developing into from $500 to $500 per
foot in sinking to fifty feet.
Ore Is Guarded
Every piece of quartz being taken
from the shaft is literally mass of
free gold. The rich mineral is inter-
woven into the quartz in perfect
mesh, and so great has been the ex-
citement that a guard is posted at the
shallow working to prevent high grad
ing.
When it is possible to take out $4,000
worth of ore in less than ten feet of
workings there is reason to consider
the strike the most important yet
made in this or any other district.
This strike has again aroused the
leasing public and many companies
are being besieged for leases. Every
pressure is being brought to bear by
strong aggregations of local capital to
secure the opening of many properties
to lessers, and if this is done, especi-
ally on such finds as the Searchlight-
Spokane, it will mean the Inauguration
of period of prosperity yet unheard
of in this district.

One afternoon when Lincoln was

Confederate secret service agent, was
on his way TO New York, where he
had engaged passage for England. The
war department was at once all astir.
Charles A. Dana, then assistant Sec
rotary of war; received the message
and FASTENED at once to consult with
Secretary Of War Stanton, says the
Ladies' Home Journal.

On Feb. %, 1898, Lord Maidstone

political dinner in London I'm which he
asserted that the Tory election com
mlttee of the day-or the committees
appointed by the house to try election
petitions, a practice which has since
been abolished-had stopped to foul
perjury" in order that their friends
might retain their seats. A vote OF
censure on O'Connell, which was
moved by Lord Maidstone, was car
rled by majority OF nine.
A few days later a curious scene was
witnessed in the house. OConnell had
to stand up in his place in the crowded
chamber while the speaker, James
Abercromby, solemnly reproved him
for 1.-THE false and scandalous imputa-
ton" he had cast upon the honor and

that free alcohol bill. One rea-
son was that the average farmer
doesn't know that alcohol figures
in the manufacture of tobacco.
But it does, in a peculiar way.
The tobacco me n lfacturer uses
licorice in his process, but before
it can be used it must be cut.
For the cutting comparatively
low proof alcohol has been en-
ployed. The: alcohol, with it's
burden of licorice, is sprayed
over the tobacco leaves the lie
orice where the tobacco man
wants it.
:. For that alcohol the tobacco
trust has been paying upwards
of 81. But it has fig 1red that,
by using the denatured alcohol,
it can save about $1.5O a gallon.
How much this would amount to
in the course of a year the treas

determining exactly, but ore of

to the government in revenue
will crowd the million mark

the criticism which has been dir

Ladies' Home Journal. Every
one Of US ought to stand ashamed
before the people of North Da-
kota: just see what the people
Of that comparatively small state
have done. Icy made up their
minds: We want pure food for
ourselves and for our children.
And then they said to the state:
And you must see that we get
pure food. So they passed a law,
and now every article of food
sold in the state must be exam
ined and passed upon for its.
purity before it can be sold to
the people. The state took up
the work and found one candy
colored with coal. tar dye, and
chocolate made of corn-starch;
they found benzoic, acid and
analine dyes in preserves; olive
oil to be largely cottonseed OIL;
and the state said to the con-
Germs who manufactured these
humbugs: Here, either be hon

state, and now every analysis of
food is published, and every
housekeeper knows exactly what
j to buy what article is pure and
what article is not. Gould any
thing be simpler or a surer pro-
! lection to health?
| Next, said these sensible North
d Dakota people: We want to
know about these patent medi-
cines";; what there is in. these
"medicines;;" whether they are
safe or not. And the state got
busy. It found indications of
