One of the sensations of the week was
discovery of high grade shipping ore
on the Gold Crown Silver Pick Mining
and Leasing company's ground on the
Silver Pick. 1t was discovered Friday
morning. Stringers of black sulphides
We're encountered In the bottom of the
shaft at a depth of 14S feet and they
are still appearing. They lie in a vein
thus far demonstrated to be over four
feet in width. They are almost vertical
with a dip to the east and a north and
south trend. Assays averaging twenty
eight ounces in gold have been obtained,
although this is not a fair average of
the vein as only the stringers We're as
sayed. but the entire vein within a very
few feet is believed to break to ship
ping values as the %stringers are
converging. This lease is owned
by r. w Landrum & Co, and the
average assays of S57S.76 certainly made
them feel jubilant, as they put out only
a few thousand shares of treasury stock
and paid a large proportion of the devel-
opment work expenses out OF their own
pockets.

KEYSTONE COMPANY TO
BE ACTIVELY DEVELOPED

The GoIdfield keystone is to com
mence active operations on Knicker-
booker mountain. which is becoming
the mecca of mine makers, and is con-
sidered by one engineer as the Kernel
of the entire district"
The property of the keystone adjoins
the Dixie. which is one of the deepest
mines in the Goldfeld district, and has
opened a world of ore OF a fine milling
grade. Some good ore has been dis
closed In the Keystone. on which the
owners have expended 10000 in devel-
opment work. and the management is
that a little more work and
greater depth will make the mine a pro-
duce:.
To provide funds for development the
company has given the fiscal agency
to the G. $. Clack Brokerage

advance of real estate values and the
upbuilding of Goldfeld. the Ross-Tucker
Real Estate and Investment mpan
has decided to increase its business,
bringing about a change in the firm
by the retiring Of F. b. Ross. and add
ing to its capital by taking in of a new
partner.
The new addition to the firm is Wal
ter s. Barring who for the past year has
been cashier of the Goldfield News. His
many successful ventures in real estate
since his arrived in Goldield, have
brought forth a realization that a large
profit is to be made in the handling of
landed property than in handling of the
funds of a newspaper office.
The firm will hereafter be known as
the Undertaking Real Estate ard In
vestment Its object is to con-
duct a general renting and collecting
business and sell and purchase property
on commission. Their offices will con-

SHOWING M JUMBO EXTENSION

The shaft in the Red Top Extension
Leasing company's block is now down
over one hundred feet. Stringers of
sulphide ore are being encountered. The
showing evidences that an ore body of
considerable size and value is being
approached. The showing in the lease
is the main cause for the recent
strength in Red Top Extension. r. l..
Colburn, one of the principal owners of
the lease, expects to catch the main
in the shaft at a depth of about
200 feet. He believes that there is no
chance for the Jumbo ledge escaping
the property.

NJ. c.. Scully, one of the principal
stockholders of the Mohawk CONSOLE
dated. and who gives the work there
his personal supervision. has decided
to sink the shaft an additional hundred
feet. the point now reached being 300
feet beneath the surface. Drifting and
prosecuting have developed immense
ore reserves. The ledge hat enters
the ground from Mohawk No. l has
been thoroughly explored and tho addi-
tional depth is for the purpose of pick
ing up the deep ledge that comes out
of the other property. There is no
doubt that Mr.. Scully has recovered the
ledge that is being mined on the Com
bination Fraction and which yielded so
many millions from the other Mohawk
leases. The lease is now in splendid
shape for breaking ore. Stopping will
be begun within a few days.

Property Located in the Heart
of the Rich GOldfeld
District

The Keystone holdings consist of three claims and a fraction
adjoining the Dixie Mine, the stock of which is now selling around
ID cents a share. There is not a property in the entire district that
has better mineralzed conditions o. the surface than the keystone.
a 262foot tunnel has been driven in the side of the hill to tap the
big ledge that gave assays of from 81 20 to 1893 80 a ton on the sur
face. 1t is expected that a big body of high-grade ore will be encount-
cred when the ledge is struck. Application for patent o this ground
has been approved so that there is no chance of litigation.

A SMASHED TRADITION.

The tornado which swept over St. Joseph Mo. the other day did much more than inflict great damage to property It smashed three quarter century old tradition. Ever since old Joseph Robidoux. eigh- tv years ago established s trad ing post amid the Black Snake hills and saw growing up into a metropolis its streets named after himself his wife and his multitude of sons and daughters. Pauline. MesssHie. Felix. Francis. Edmond, Jule. Charles. Faraon, Michel and all the rest, the citizens of St. Joseph have rested in fancied immunity against cyclones and tornadoes. They had it from the Black Snake Indians that the hills had never been visited by a big wind" The people of St. Joseph since Robi- doux's time have felt no other emo- ton than sympathy at the almost daily reports in the summer. early fall and late spring. of cyclones destructive of life and property ali around them.
 Scientific theories were evolved for the immunity of St Joseph. They were based on some protecting myste- rious configuration of the country. but the theories were not entirely satis- factory. but nobody cared so long as the cyclones did not come. There might have been an averting influence in the hills on the north and east, but on the west was the level sweep of the Missouri and the prairies of Kansas as far as the eye could see. On the south there appeared no obstruction to cyclones and ''big winds" But they had not come within the memory of the whites within three quarters of a century, nor within the traditions of the Indians since as far back as the beginning of traditions.
 The wind has at last broken through the mysterious guard. This reminds us that if the guard of conservatism inherited from Robidoux had been broken dOSn a generation ago there would not have been room for two such cities as Omaha and Kansas City in the Missouri Valley

Curly is expected to be out of bed in a few days and then baseball will take another lease of life. Pres colt has won two. and Phoenix two, and now they want to play the rub. In order to enable a plentitude of root CTS to accompany the nine, the Santa Fe will give rate of S3.50 for the round trip. and for an additional four bits. seven days will be added to the time limit of the ticket. The Athletics are going up to win this game. as they haven't scored q victory for so long. they want to see how it feels to come home with the long end of the money. They will be strengthened by the best timber procurable in the valley, for Prescott is a hard bunch to down.

. BOYcOTTING NEWSPAPERS.

The Carpenters Union of Globe has just held meeting to vies with alarm the efforts of the Los Angeles Times to secure a foothold in that camp. and to take measures to bar the door. If the Globe union really wants to promote the circulation of the Times there it could not hit upon a more ingenious or more effective plan. IL is making the same mistake that the unions of Los Angeles have made for the last fifteen years as a result of which the Times has become more strongly entrenched there year by year.
 If the unions believe that the course of the Times is inimical to their in terests they may properly withhold their patronage from it. but when they seek to influence those who have no interest in the industrial contro- versy between the Times and the unions to do the same. they are per forming a more valuable service for the Times than the most active sub scription solicitor could accomplish.
 It has been the tendency of mem bers of the human race to do the very things they are told not to do unless the interdiction is made statutory Boycotts have now and then been sue cessful. that is to say they have been made damaging to the persons and concerns against whom they have been directed but We can not recall that a boycott against newspaper was ever successful unless it was spontaneous in a community. that is, administered as a punishment for an outrage committed not against a class but against society at large.

DESTINED FOR THE CAVALRY

Lieutenant Carroll Christy. who was graduated in June from the United States Military Academy. has just re- ceived notice of his assignment to the cavalry arm of the army. He had rather thought that his weight would bar him since under the regulations, a young officer of more than 165 pounds is seldom given q cavalry billet. Lieut. Christy weighs 195. But while he was at West Point he won reputation as horseman which has wiped out that thirty pounds excess. His reputation was earned partly in bseaking horses for the academy. and in showing that he was a good rider before he ever saw the academy.
