RIVAL AUTO men
WANTED TO Fight
MkNIGHT AND RENFRO EN-
GAGE IN AN AFTER
CATION.

There was fight in the air last
night, the latest candidates for pugi-
listic honors being Harry Mcknight
and A. d. Renfro, the rival automo
bile men. There seems to have been
an old grudge between the men and
the day of Independence apparently
brought on the fighting spirit.2 Nc
knight has been doing business in
the vicinity Of the Renfro office, but
there was not so much to that as TO
the old grudge being reviewed.
Both men had several friends with
them, and If anything had started
there would have been a Donnybrook
diversion. Mcknight, it seems open
ed the ball by reminding Renfro that
as far as a ear back, he, Renfro, had
said that if he Mcknight ever ran
him out of business he would crawl
through a knot hole, or a rat hole;
or do something similarly undesir-
able.
We'll, said Mr.. Mcknight, get
ready to crawl. I've given You the
III all right.
Mr.. Renfro responded with some
thing that he had not gathered in
Sunday school, and Mr.. Mcknight
never learned in his Bible class what
he said to Mr.. Renfro,
The Renfro left grabbed the Nc
knight scarf, and with the Mcknight
right swinging leisurely, but dan-
%gerously, it was suggested that The
scarf be released from captivity,
otherwise there would be a guillo-
tine of the Renfro block.
Tear his head off, Renfro," sug-
gested a b~ystander.
TRY it." murmurred another by
stander.
Scatter, gentlemen" said the
voice of Deputy Carberry. The rival
automobile men were glaring at each
other. and the atmosphere was thick
with trouble. But suddenly, Renfro
let go the scarf and backed away,
Undoubtedly, the presence of the
law prevented further amenities, but
those who know the men declare that
the end is not yet.

ORE PROVES TO
BE TELLURIUM
THANKSGIVING HAS -FOUR FEET
OF THE HIGHEST GRADE
ORE.

The strike on the THANKSGIVING
mine has turned out to be four feet
of the highest grade ore which has
yet been encountered. Superintend-
ent McFadden of the Manhattan
Breyfogle, which adjoins the
Thanksgiving, went down into the
mine yesterday, and phoned last
night to J. w. Langley, n of the
principal of the Breyfogle.
that the strike was all that had been
said for it. Mr.. McFadden stated
that the new find was undoubtedly
tellurium, and that the Thanksgiving
was greater than ever.
Mr.. Yates, Of the firm of Raymond
ID. Frisbie company, last night re-
ceiyed a letter from President G.. f..
Stanley of the Thanksgiving, who is
in Manhattan, corroborating the re-
ports that have been received. The
letter states that the assayers have
proved the ore to be tellurium. and
that several miners who were for
merly in Cripple Greek and Tellu-
ride, and who are familiar with the
class of rock, had unhesitatingly
pronounced it the real thing.
Mr.. Stanley writes that a grab
sample, which did o have the APP
pearance of carrying any mineral at
all, asaseyd s196 a ton. The hoist
of the Thanksgiving will be ready for
operation in a few days.

BIDS FAIR TO
REPEAT SUCCESS

GoLDFIELD. July I'D. Mac
kenzie bids fair to repeat his success
with the Frances-Mohawk lease on
the Jumbo Extension lease which he
bought less than two weeks ago from
Uri b. Curtis. No doubt Mackenzie
is a lucky man, but it must be ack-
n~owledged that he possesses some
ability as a mine operator.
Before buying the Curtis lease, he
made a personal examination of the
property, and had his engineers do
the same. Only five days after the
purchase was made, the lease went
into shipping ore of high grade. I'm
mediately after this, Mackenzie put
to work Frank Oliver and Tim Con-
nelly, the latter having been super
intendent under Billy Mackay on the
famous Frances-Mohawk lease, from
where $2,500,0O0 were taken. The
men declare their ability to equal, If
not surpass the record Of the lease on
the old Mohawk.
The Curtis lease is well located,
being on the Wedge Fraction of the
Jumbo Extension, and situated be-
tween and adjoining the Mohawk,
Jumbo and Mohawk Ledge. both OF
which are among the heavy producers
of the mine. The character of the
ore Is identical with that of the Mo-
hawk. being of the same high grade
which was taken out of the Frances
Mohawk and the Hayes-Monnette
leases.
The Frances Mohawk Leasing COM
pany is still paying 40 per cent divi-
dends annually, as a result of the
work Of Mackenzie on that famous

HEINzE MAY BUY
The BLUESTONE

+. Ii. Wilson and II. c. Ballinger,
experts for F. Augustus Heinze, the
Montana copper man, have been in
camp this week examining the big
Bluestone mine, the property of Cap
tain DeLamar, says the Lyon coun-
ty Times. Upon the report Of Messrs.
Wilson and Ballinger depends more
than likely, the sale of the property
to Heinze for a figure in the neigh
borhood of 100000 600. So far as
a be learned Mr.. Wilson's report
will be favorable. He is very en-
thusiastic about this entire district,
and believes it is going to make the
biggest copper camp ever heard Of.
The Bluestone mine consists OF
over twenty claims, and lies about
three miles west of Yerington and
was formerly the property of e. H..
Miller and associates, and was, in
1901, operated to some extent by the
Excelsior COMPANY a company made
up Of Butte people with G. II. Bat
terman as president end general man-
ager. A smelter wis erected on the
property and considerable of the best
ore in the mine was worked. Cop
per was then low-getting down to
10 cents-and upon the death Of Mr..
Batterman the company was dis
solved and the property reverted to
Mr.. Miller and associates.
Some time ago NJ. j.. Heller took
the property over for Captain De-
Lamar at a price in the neighborhood
Of $4,000. Since then develop
ment work has been carried on quite
extensively and reports from expert
examinations state that there is from
900, 900 to 2,0O0.0 900 IONS of copper
ore blocked out in the mine at the
present time. The ore will run. on
an average, 3 per cent or better. This.
with copper at 20 cents, and 1.00O.-
600 tons only in sight, would give
the mine a value of SIP, 900, 600, and
with 100000 tons in slight, $24,-
600. 900. From what information can
be obtained 1t is reasonable to sup
pose that the property has close to
the latter valuation. A year or more
ago, when the Times placed a value
of $4,000. 900 on the property It was
considered the craziest piece of writ
Ing ever done In the|state Different
now.
For a year or more past Captain
DeLamar has been testing the ores
Of the Bluestone by the electro-mag-
netic separating process, and has
demonstrated that II is a complete
success. Over 80 per cent Of the
values in the ore can be saved by
this process. and at the present plans
are out for a 1,000-ton plant of thsi
description, and grading for the plant
is under way.
1t will make little difference who
has the property. 1t will be worked
on a large scale within the next few
months, and it is good to know that
a property OF this kind exists in the
Yerington district.

There is a wide area of the desert sec
tion of southern Nevada over which
prospecting operations are now being
conducted, and this mineral belt has
been found to continue over into Inyo
county within the California boundary.
This review of the conditions existing
In Nevada, accompanied by the sta.
tistlcs for 1905, refers only to that
year, but 1T may not be out of place
to write briefly Of some features re-
lat'ng to a subsequent date. as they
have been largely influential in bring
ing about the present widespread in
terest in the mining affairs of the
state. The most important develop
ment in any single mine has been that
which occurred in the Mohawk at
Goldfield, where the richness and
quaint ty of the ores obtained by the
'essees during 1906 have arrested the
attention of the mining world. From
published reports concerning the leas
IN this mine, it appears that from
April Is to November 20, 1906, the
ross value of the ore shipped by the
ssees in this mine amounted TO
i,075,919, and the net values, 10
3,135,4 26. They have also had ore
/; ored and in transit which amounted
n value to $950,0O0 additional. 1t
as estimated that over $4,000 900
would be recovered during the remain
Ter of the life of the leases. which
pired in January, 1907. On Novem-
er 20, 1906, the Mohawk merger took
lace, by which the Goldfeld Consol
dated Mines company acquired the
Mohawk, the Red Top, the Jumbo and
he Laguna properties, and they will
Hereafter be worked as one. The
mpany was organized with 5000 900
mares capital stock, par value $40 per
hare. Before the consolidation these
separate properties had produced a
total gross sum of $6,054,61O. The
Mohawk did not produce till 1906.
The Jumbo began producing in July
1904. Red Top ore has beer reduced

fortunes for themselves, but making
great mines out of mere prospects, TO
the benefit of the more timid com
panies.
1t may be confessed that to the
leasing system is largely due the mag
%nifeent developments which have been
made in many of the new camps.
Some few of the companies have, Of

structed. These mines are well devel-
oped considering the short time which
ias been occupied in the work. Under
he leasing system, although the ore
was exceptionally rich and the life Of
the lease short, there has doubtless
been much robbing of the mine, which
will not be the case when systematic
development work is conducted by the
company itself.
