WILL TEST NEVADA COAL
Deposits May BE Made servieeabIe in
SmeIters of the State

GOLDFIELD. Feb. 23.-An exhaustive
series Of experiments will be conducted
by Goldheld mining men TO determine
the fuel value OF the coal from the
mines at Coaldale on the Tonopah and
Goldheld Railroad. There are. immense
deposits. well defined veins and a large
area OF the coal lands. A crew of ex-
perienced coal miners and experts from
Rock Springs, Wyoming, has been en-
gagged to make the experiments. Uri
B. Curtis and his brother are largely
Interested in the coal lands. and they
have concluded arrangements with the
Nevada GOldheld Reduction Works TO
carry on the tests. The coal does not
burn well in large chunks, but it is
said that it wiz prove good fuel for
both boiler and smelling use if broken
into small pieces.
If the coal proves of value the COM
ing construction Of numerous smelters
and reduction works in this section
would furnish a home marked for the
prodpct from which the owners would
receive large revenue.

HOST W|ELDS HATCHET
WHEN HIS GUEST FL|RTs
Jealous Husband Attacks
Visitor Who Makes
Eyes at Wife

Because his guest was unduly inter
ested in his wife. August Nurman, who
lives in Columbia Square, became in
sanely jealous last night and made a
murderous assault upon Alfred B.
Uhne, who halls from Redwood City.
Nurman had taken his visitor upon a
round of the saloons of the neighbor-
hood in the afternoon. The quantity
of intoxicants absorbed on the tour, to-
gether with a stock kept in the shack,
had affected both host and guest.
When Nurman detected an exchange
of glances between his wife and Uhne
he picked up hatchet and fell upon
the Redwood City resident. At the
Central Emergency Hospital the injured
man was found to be suffering from
three gashes in the scalp. one on the
cheek and badly mangled right hand.
Policeman Rier booked Nurman on a
charge of assault to commit murder.

The WAGE Situation

Ever since the decline in the price
of copper numerous reports have
gained foot as to what effect the
decrease would have upon wages.
1t seems to be generally understood
that the copper companies are up
against it, should the price of copper
reach Il lower point than thirteen
cents. The increased cost of fuel,
in addition to the eight-hour scale,
besides other extras, that were not
contended with during other slumps
IN copper, render it impossible for
the mining companies to prosper,
and as a consequence rumors are
to the effect that general reduction
in wages, ranging from twenty-five
to seventy-fve cents per day, will
be inaugurated about the Goth of
this month. This is for an eight-aour
scale. Another rumor has it that
the present scale of wages will be
main tanned if the men will go back
to twelve-hour shift.
1t is not likely that many com
panies will continue operation very
long at a loss, and it is possible that
some arrangement will be made,
whereby the price Of copper will
govern tue wage scale.
\ great many of the men are not
in favor of either longer hours or a
reduction in pay, hence there will
probably be some friction before the
matter is settled. Copper still con-
tinues on the downward line and
things Will come to a showdown be-
fore very long. 1t is not only this
district that is up against it under
present conditions. All of them are
practically in the same shape, and
men are being discharged in every
possible instance.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that copper will not remain at low
figure very long as the production has
been cut almost in two. However,
the next few months will most
likely witness lean pickings in copper
camps.

hills northeast of Clifton. 1t had
been reported that small bunch of
deer were seen in that section a few
days before and they went prepared
for big game. After arriving on the
ground they soon located fresh tracks
and then the trailing took place. 1t
was not long until several fine bucks
were sighted and the barricade
took place. When the smoke cleared
away Mr.. Connor had broken the
neck of 4 25O-pounder and Frank
Martin dropped a small one. 1t was
a great day for the boys and they
now hold the belt of the Clifton
hunters. They made their story good
by bringing back the venison and dis
tributing samples among friends.

Alfred Bishop and partner, Mr.
Mcdonald, who are working a lease
in the Steeple Rock mining district,
arrived in camp last week and are
spending a few days here on business
with the Shannon com pany. They
are looking after d sample shipment
which they made to the local smelter.
It consists of three tons of gold and
silver ore that will run high, and for
an average will outclass anything
that has been seen in Clifton for
some time. MesSrs. Bishop and Nc
Donald have been working in that
section for some time and they Will
not have to walk back home this
time as is often the case with
the prospectOr who makes d sample
shipment. Mr.. Bishop informed d
representative OF the RIA that good
results from this shipment convinCes
him that he has one of the best gold
silver propositions in the southwest.
A few shipments like the one just
made will convince anyone. He also
has Il considerable amount of good
copper ore. but as copper is low he
will not pay much attention to it at
present. y railroad into that sec
ton or the expenditure of some capt.
tai on development work, would 20
doubt reveal one of the best gold
camps in existence.

The Copper King mine, owned by
the New England and Clifton Copper
company, has ceased operations and
things in that end of the camp have
quieted down considerably. BY the
closing of the Copper King mine a
large number of men have been
thrown out of employment, as well
as number of ore wagons being put
out of commission. A large amount
of ore has been piled up in North
Clifton and will be smelted at the
Shannon in the near future. The close
down is indefinite and unless the
price of copper reaches a high level,
the chances are that this property will
remain idle. Should d smelling plant
be erected by the New England com
pany, no doubt the Copper King will
be worked again. Other claims
owned by the New England COM
pany are being operated.
The copper era., 1907-10-17

The editor of the ERA this week
visited the new silver property, which
is being worked by Bacon & LANCER
man. The claims are located only a
short distance southeast of Morenci
and are in d section that has been
PASSED up for years. Systematic
samplying is the only way it could
have been found as the ore was COW
cred with a 2-foot lime Gaping. The
property is only in its infancy and
d definite statement at this time
would be 4 little previous, but the
parties interested in it have no rea-
son to lay awake at night. The new
wagon road, which cost about $500, is
finished and as soon as platform is
built a considerable amount of ore
can be shipped. SO far only surface
WORK has been done, but indications
are good for the ore to remain at
depth. A couple of carloads were
recently shipped to Douglas as a
sample and when the ore passed
through Cliff ION the rumor soon
gained foot that it would not paw
freight charges. a representative
of the ERA interviewed Mr.. Bacon
and was informed that he was well
pleased with returns and would con
tinue shipment just as soon as the
wagons could pass over the new road.
The ore for the two cars above men,
toned was first sacked, then packed
on burros to the wagon road, loaded
into wagons and hauled to Clifton
and then had to be unsacked again.
f it paid expenses after all that
handling there ought to be some pro-
fit in it, whe7 the wagons haul direct
from the dump.

Small squads of men around the
reduction works and also at the
mines have received their time
checks and it is fact that practi-
cally all development and outside
work has been cut out. The A. c..
and Shannon companies, together
with the D. c. company at Morenci,
have expended thousands of dollars
during the past two years in equip
ment and development work and it
can truthfully be said that they have
enough ore blocked out in reserve to
carry them over for some time.
While a good many men have re-
ceived their time, the outputs of the
various companies will not be cur
tailed enough to be noticed.
