EXHIBITION ORE.
Most Interesting Showing of Free

Most Interesting Showing of Free
Gold.
MATCHES, New, Oct. Ia. +.
Quincy has taken out a large sample
of ore from his Ell Melche claims,
weighing about 500 pounds, which he
is going to ship to his company at
San Francisco for exhibition pur-
poses. This immense chunk of ore,
weighing nearly quarter of ton.
has most remarkable and interest
ing showing of free gold. In very
many places in the big sample specks
of the yellow metal can be seen, and
the value of this chunk of ore, while
not having been determined by an
alysis, will perhaps run better than
$500. This sample, taken few feet
from the surface on one of the claims
at Matches, speaks most eloquently
for the merit of the camp. Matches
is enabled to produce enormous guam
titles of ore few feet from the sur
face. Mr. Quincy is going to San
Francisco with the ore specimen, and
upon his return in a few days will
run tunnel to cut the ledge at 100
feet. At this depth he will upraise
to the surface and will extract a
quantity of shipping ore. When this
work is well under way the nail of
success for this camp will be driven.
Robert Walther is doing his loca-
ton work on his Dutchman No. A.
He has discovered a good ledge which
pans free gold in coarse quality.
When Mr.. Walther gets through with
this work he is going to sink on his
No. l to a depth of fifty feet, when
he is going to crosscut to the ledge.
This claim was the first of the free
gold finds and is looking better with
every stroke of the drill and will be
great mine in the near future. Mr..
Walther is one of our old-time pros
pectors and deserves the find.
James f. Otis, in prospecting over
his new claim, discovered a very fine
ledge showing free gold in the quartz
and has men now at work trenching
to find out the real course and size
of his find.
Messrs. Case and Hayman are busy
doing their stalking and location work
on their claims they recently located.
Their showing looks very good.
Thomas Merrigan was visitor to
Mill City this week on some mining
business and returned by Reeds
stage line, which comes in every day
now.
D. F. Mccarthy has rugged UP a
blacksmith shop at his shaft on the
Yellow Horse mine and is going to
sink a shaft to the fifty-foot mark
and crosscut both east and west,
which will define the true location
of this already large ledge, which has
shown so much free gold from the
surface.

Mr.. Weir said there was no reason
for the mining men of this camp to
feel blue. The stage of development

this district throughout the country
Is just at hand. A few months of

ing materials, il is fiIured that a
dock ought to last several decades,
Notwithstanding the tremendous
strain to which ore docks are sub
jected. Thus, should the dock stand
for twenty-five year, it would show
profit over the present-day piers,
since the cost of repairs will be
much less. 1t is not thought likely
that docks of steel and concrete will
ever cost much more than they do
now. On the other hand, timber
docks are each year becoming more
expensive. Years ago, when the
southern shore of Lake Superior was
thickly wooded, an ore dock could be
built for $1,000 a pocket; the more
modern structures cost $4,000 poe
ket, and now the cost is fully $4,000,
with indications that the expense will
be almost double a decade hence

panding and seems now to be almost
as sure as the market for copper or
other staple ores. Firms requiring
large quantities of tungsten have had
difficulty in obtaining sufficient sup
plies to guarantee future deliveries.
The greatest producing locality in
1906 was Boulder county, Colo. but
tungsten mining was carried on also
in California, Arizona, Montana, New
Mexico and Washington. The Bould-
er county ore is wolframite. but the
deposits in California are chiefly
scheelite. No production of tungsten
was reported from the deposits in
Alaska, Connecticut, Oregon or Idaho
but considerable development work
was done at Osceola. New. New de-
posits of scheelite have also been
found at Murray, Idaho, where it is
hoped that production will soon be-
gin.
During the year experiments that
have been carried on for a long time
produced remarkable incandescent
lamp, the filament of which is made
of metallic tungsten. The ordinary
carbon incandescent lamp uses a
large amount of electricity, while it's
profitable life is very short, and many
attempts have been made to construct
lamp that would give better light
with less power. The Nernst lamp,
the Cooper-Hewitt mercury vapor
lamp, and the Moore gas lamp are
the results of such attempts.
The tungsten lamp promises to be
as useful as any if not the most USE
full of all, but only few lamps of
this type have yet been put on the
market, as number of details con-
nected with the manufacture remain
to be worked out. The lamp gives
a brilliant white light of very pleas
ing quality, and possesses a distinct
advantage in that, If properly made,
it does not blacken the globe.
Large quantities of sodium tung-
state are manufactured, much of
which is said to be used in fire.
proofing cloth for curtains, drapery,
ETC., and as mordant in dyeing.
Tungsten salts are also extensively
used in silk manufacture, being add
ed to the silk with the dye to give
more apparent weight to the fabric.
The production of tungsten in 1906
is reported by the United States Geo
logical Survey in an advance chapter
from Mineral Resources of the Unit
ed States, calendar year 1906" by
Frank L. Hess, geologist, in cennec-
tion with statistics of production of
certain of the rarer metals.

MIzpAH AT FAIRv1Ew SOLD.
1925, 900 Paid for This Valuable
Property.

The crop of millionaires for the
year 1906 was augmented largely by
the district OF Fairview, which con-
tributed six to the world of finance
and gave to the industrial interests
of Salt Lake City and Goldfield that
numberof financiers who have already
become prominent figures in world of
finance through the riches of the Ne
vada Hills mine. u
What mining camp can challenge
this record?
1t is possible that the crop of mill
lionaires for the fall of 1907 may be
enlarged in like manner, by reason
of another wonderful discovery in
this camp.
Predictions are idle, yet we must
not overlook the possibilities opened
up by the prospects of the Mizpah
property, where the ore from sur
face shoot is being sacked in as short
time, aud with values as great as
Nevada Hills gave forth when the
stock was promoted at 81 per share,
and ten times oversubscribed.
The great Mizpah strike has been
sold. A man with money came and
took the wonderful surface showing
into camp. For consideration of
1925, 900, the receipt of the greater
part of which is acknowledged by
the former owners, they have parted
with the surface bonanza, reserving a
stock interest in addition to cash
money.
The terms of the sale, and the cash
consideration are guarantee that
D. ]. Kennedy the purchaser, repre-
sents sufficient capital to finance the
proposition. He has wired his New
York associates to come on instantly,
and they are expected to arrive with

ment of sale, Mr.. Kennedy binds
himself to place in operation on the
property before the 18th day of next
month hosting engine and gal
lows, compressor engine and other
equipment. This he does upon pen
atty of forfeit.
AS an indication that he means

it is being loaded on the cars today.

RICH ORE UNCOVERED
In Famous E'iarview Property at
Seven TPOughS.


Seven TrOughs.
A strike that carries more signifi-
canoe than usual, and one that proves
beyond doubt the permanency of
the rich ore bodies, was uncovered at
the 300-foot level in the famous
Fairview property last Thursday,
says the Vernon Review The find
cannot exactly be termed as new
one, altogether, but owing to the fact
that the values are much higher and
show more uniformity, the showing is
remarkable and adds wonderfully to
the value of this big property.
General Manager l.. A. Friedman,
who is one of the largest individual
stockholders in this property, was in
Vernon yesterday making personal
examination of the new strike. In
giving a report of the find Mr.. Fried
man stated that it is one of the best
yet made in the property.
THE discovery was made in the
drift at the 300-foot level" said Mr..
Friedman. cat this point the pay
streak shows a width of fully foot
and is literally alive with free gold
and ruby silver. Throughout the up
per levels ruby silver has been found
in small quantities scattered through
the vein. Where the ledge was tap
ped at the 300-foot point the silver
is shot all through the sugar quartz.
The character of the ore is identical
with that found in the West End,
Midway, MontanaTonopah and other
famous Tonopah properties. While
it is true that the pay shoot only
shows width of one-foot, it gives
every indication of widening, and
when 1t is tapped at the 400 and 500
foot levels something in the sensa-
tional line may be looked for.
At present we are making prepar-
atoms to drift on all of the levels
above the 800, and as soon as the
crosscut is run from the 400 drifting
will be started at this point"
When asked as to when shipments
would be started, Mr.. Friedman re-
piled that Just as soon as the 500
foot point was reached drifting and
stopping would be commenced and
that as soon thereafter as convenient
regular shipments would be started
and continued indefinitely.

IRON ORE DOCKS.

Except for the piling and the crib
work of the foundation, the lining of
the pockets and the floor of the deck,
no wood is to enter into the con-
struction of the new No. 6 ore dock.
the erection of which has been start
ed at Two Harbors, Michigan, for the
United States Steel corporations Du-
luth & Iron Range railroad. Built
almost entirely of steel and concrete,
the pier will cost in the neighbour
hood of $1,25O,000. 1t will not be
as large as other structures of the
kind on the upper lakes, but it will
be the omst substantial and free from
destruction by fire.
The docks will be built Just south
and alongside of the new No 3. at
the western end of the harbor. 1t
Will be slightly more than 1000 feet
long and from the lake level to the
deck it will rear itself to height OF
seventy-three feet. The width of the
deck will be fifty-eight feet, suffi-
cient to accommodate four railroad
tracks. The foundation of the dock
will be massive. The piling, filled in
with rock, will come to within five
feet of the surface, and will be cap
ped on either side by concrete pier.
eighteen feet wide and ten feet Aigh,
extending the full length of the dock.
On top of the concrete will rest the
steel superstructure of I-bars, chan
nels and angles. Construction work
VIII be prosecuted through the win
ter, and it is expected that the dock
will be ready by the opening of nav
igation next spring.
1t Is likely that steel and concrete
also will be used in the big new pier
which the Great Northern railroad
intends to add to its ore dock system
on Allouez bay, Wisconsin, and in all
probability the Chicago and North
Westerns proposed new dock at Ash
land will be built of similar material.
Both of these docks will be badly
needed by 1909, Notwithstanding an
expenditure of 100000 by the
Northwestern at Ashland last winter
and the erection by the Great North
ern of its No. dock. a great struc-
ture of timber, having 374 pockets
OF combined capacity of 93,5O0 tons
The cost of these big docks has
been increased rapidly during late
years, as it has become necessary to
procure the timber on the Pacific
slope, and at steadily advancing
prices. However, 1t is likely that the
new ore pier of the Duluth and Iron
Range road, zoos feet long, could be
erected of wood for approximately
$4,000: but steel will be much
more durable. The average life of a
timber dock is only eleven years

AGREEABLY SURPRISED.
New York Broker Thinks Well of
Manhattan.

ndHifdttdn.
J. Il. Weir, a member of the firm
of Weir Bros. & Co., of New York
has been in Manhattan the past week
gathering data on the camp for use
in his Broadway office.
Mr. Weir came west on this trip ex-
pecting to find little that would be
encouraging. The operators In the
east have been up against such un-
favorable financial conditions that
they have almost come to believe that
the trouble is out here in the field
instead of In the money markets.
Manhattan activity was sufficient
to disabuse the mind of Mr.. Weir on
this point. He found the mill and
water questions in this camp solved
and instead of a languishing mining
industry, he finds it just arriving at
the era of production and import
ance.
Il have been completely surprised
with the conditions at Manhattan, y
said Mr.. Weir. Il have been through
the properties that are well develop
ed and through the workings of the
principal leasers. | find an immense
amount of ore ready for the mills.
The three milling plants that are
nearing completion will be kept busy

PROGRESS OF MILLS
AT MANHATTAN

Rapid Roadway has been made
during the past week on the three
milling plants for Manhattan. The
delay. in the movement of freight
caused by the strike of Tonopah rail-
road employees has not affected the
building of the mills. The material
is practically all here for both the
Wolf and the Lemon mills and the
machinery en- route for the Hunting
ton mill is coming along all right.
The car of betting, shafting, pull
leys and general connecting-up ma
terials arrived this week for the Wolf
mill. The power plant is now set up
and connections will soon be made.
Belts to run the rock breaker and the
elevator are soon to be put in place.
The water supply has been subjected
to continuous test during the past
month and has been found more than
ample for the mill.
The general superintendent of this
mill will be John Chalmers. recently
from the Buffers company at Virginia
City. He arrived in Manhattan this
week and is a metallurgist of many
years experience. Barring further
delays the mill will be running about
the end of the month. Ore hauling
from the Manhattan Consolidated will
THE LEMON MILL.
The Lemon mill, or more properly
speaking, the plant of the Nevada
Milling & Ore Purchasing company
will in all likelihood break the record
for mill construction in southern Ne
vada The frame structure is now
up and the builders are waiting for
the corrugated iron with which the
mill will be enclosed.
The stamps are being installed.
The foundations for the eighteen
cyanide tanks are completed and the
tanks are on the way to Manhattan.
This week distillate cyanide and lab
oratory materials, Sufficient to last
for two months, arrived. Mr.. Lemon,
who has charge of the construction,
says that he could not ask for better
luck or more rapid Roadway.
THE CANYON MILL.
Equally gratifying is the progress
on the Huntingdon mill being erected
by the Canyon Milling company OF
Manhattan This firm suffered some
delay on account of the failure to
get lumber at the time it was needed
and some anxiety was felt for awhile
that the machinery might be tied uI
in freight blockade. But every.
thing is coming along very satisfac-
tory now and the Huntington will
grind out lot of Manhattan bullion

DEMAND FOR TUNGSTEN.
United States Geological Survey Re-
ports Increased Production.


WASHINGTON, Oct. IL. - The
tungsten ores produced in the United
States in 1906 amounted to 92S
short tons, valued at about $349, 900.
The output for the year is a gain of
125 tons, or 1886 per cent in guam
tity and of $S9,191, or 20 per cent
in value over the known production
of 1905.
The noticeable rise in the price of
tungsten during 1905 continued dur
Ing 1906, and the production was
stimulated accordingly. There was.
however. a very great discrepancy in
the prices paid for ore in various
places, as there is almost sure to be
when an article is produced spasmod-
ically in widely separated and often
little known localities, while at the
same time the market is limited and
the isolated small producers have
slight chance to become acquainted
with buyers and market conditions.
Prices during the year ranged from
IS to 50 per unit for the contained
tungsten trioxide, or, as it is often
enormously called. "tungstic acid

ton and expected a new force of detec-
tiyes in Canton to work on the case.
According TO the Forest City journals
the letters received by Thomas }
White, of Dayton and Fred Hoerter of
Louisville, two visiting Eagles, had
been turned over to Postmaster Clark
and had been reported by him to the
postal authorities for investigation.
1t was also stated that Mrs John w.
Payler had received several letters OF
nature similar to those which at.
tracted the attention Of the postal
authorities some time ago and also
that she had been greatly bothered
with fake telephone calls.
Mrs. Payler said last night that she
had made no statement TO the press
and had told none Of her friends OF
receiving the letters. She admitted
to the News, however, that she had re-
ceived them but said she did not in
tend reporting the matter to the a,i-
thorities as she did not care for any
further notoriety in that direction.
Postmaster Clark denied the story
that officers were coming here to take
up an investigation Of the case and
said that as yet he had not reported
the matter to the chief inspector at
Washington. He said the detailing Of
men on such case was not done ex-
cept after some little time as com.
plants had to go through several
channels before action could be taken
and So far he had not taken any steps
which would result in an investigation.
