NEW STRIKES START A
STAMPEDE TO RAMSEY

The Ramsey Comstock dixie set the
pace and the district is wild with excite
ment over the strike of last week Min
ing men are pouring in from Reno. Cold
field. Fairview and other camps. a party
coming from San Francisco to look over
tho ground
The advent Of II. III. Clark caused a
ripple OF excitement. when IL became
known that this successful mine maker
was about to open up the hex group
renewed confidence became manifest. for
"Bullfrog Clark" has yet to make a
failure.
A lease was let last week on one of
the most promising prospects IN the
district. where high grade ore was
found at the surface. This lease is
held by Salt Lake men n extensive
operations will be started at once.
Three leases are in operation on the
Ramsey Ophir and two on the Rather
No. 2, extensions of the Clark dixie are
temporarily suspended pending the re-
turn of good weather.
The Consolidated company is waiting
for its hoist timbers and machine
shipped, but held up at some side track
on the railroad. Three shifts are drift
ing from the shaft to the dixie and
opening up the ore so that when the
hoist is in place. the mine will be able
to take 1t out as fast as 1t can be broker
down in two drifts below.
The Bonanza Is preparing the collar
for it's hoist, en- route and tied up like
the Consolidated material, and the Rat
tier No. 2 company has a lot of machin-
cry and lumber tied up some where.
All four mines are making a good
deal of water. and the question of water
for milling purposes is settled. With a
perennial river on each side of the dis
trict. equidistant. the question of power
has never disturbed any of the mine
makers of Ramsey.
The 500 ton mill projected by the RAM
sey Comstock will be in operation as
soon as possible. now that this mine
has justified the faith OF her owners
Until this mill is in running order, ore
will be sent to Dayton, Wordsworth and
Salt Lake for treatment.
Like Tonopah in it's early days, Ram
sey will swamp the milling facilities
of the coast when regular shipments are
started.

(From our own Representative.
Ramsey. New. April "A stampede
Is on TO the northern and eastern ends
of this district.
The Bennett strike, the strike on the
surface of the New Comstock and the
Comstock strike has set the miners of
the adjacent country crazy and they
are tearing at every ledge and stringer
that shows its head above ground.
This camp has been looked upon as
a low grade proposition. Within two
miles of each other FIVE mines have been
found that have ore on the surface
worth hundreds and thousands of dol
lars.
These things are talked about and
such statements are made. and little at
tention is paid to them. but when
one mine after another uncovers at the
grass-roots ore worth from $500 to
5000 a ton in value. no mining man
can afford to overlook the fact-and
none do.
That is why they have at last begun
to prospect the surface at Ramsey for
high grade, and that is why some of
them have found 1t. There IS every
Indication in this district for the MAX
lnk VI a Hisn bfddC AMI "a VAtC
is tina the ore has not been found in
greater quantities than 1t has. The
reason is however that the district has
not been thoroughly prospected yet,
though 1t is almost a year since the
first big discovery was made.
Ramsey district is a network of lodges
and huge bikes, and so far most of
these lodges and bikes when opened up
disclosed a streak of high grade that
dazzled the fortunate owners This Is
what happened in the Ramsey Comstock.
the Consolidated. the Bonanza and the
walkover, to say nothing of several
other claims that have been worked at
In a desultory wal while the owners
went after means with which to open
them.
A new idea has taken hold now. the
leasers idea, and most of the miners of
this district are working their claims
taking out what really high grade they
can to pay expenses and developing the
huge ledge In the mean time.
Since the excitement began. and
thorough prospecting started. strikes OF
ore that runs into the hundreds are OF
almost daily occurrence.

LOST BETHUNE
MINE WILL SHIP

The lost Bethune mine. which is one
of the Death Valley properties around
which hangs a romantic story of lost
riches, is preparing a shipment of a
trainload of lead and silver ore hat
will run well over the 800 mark, says
a Rhyolite dispatch.
There are % carloads of ore ready
for shipment and a train will be made
up as soon as the ore can be transferred
to the line.
Charles Cushman, one of the owners
of the mine, told it's story recently
He said:
w found the lost Bethune mine
about two years ago, but 1t had beer
worked for hundreds of years before
we found 1t, and I. myself, have never
been in the end of some of its old work
ings.
Colonel Bethune came into this
country some years ago looking for the
Breyfog1e mine and came out with some
fine samples. He returned and loaded
his burros with the ore and sold 1t in
Reno.
Struck with prosperity, the major
portion of his next camping outfit was
whisky, and a year later some pros
pectors found a lone on the
side of the Funeral range and beside II
was the body of a man-Colonel Be-
thune-with a note in the monument
telling of wandering burros and an ex-
hausted water supply.
"There was a search mad for his
property. but it was not found until
two years ago.
by the workings are old arrowheads,
stone cooking pots, the remains of build
ings that no modern Indian could or no
Mormon would build. 1t is a strange
story and we ave taken the three sides
of a building from which the front and
roof have long disappeared and turned
it into a clubhouse.
Il have no stock to sell, for it has
more than paid for itself from the day
we found it, and while the workings are
extensive there is not a mark in any OF
the drifts, tunnels or crosscuts that
could have been made by blasting pow

the mining stock situation in that mar

ACTIVITY SHOWN
TN GREENWATER

The progress of development work
and the activity in the Greenwater dis
trict are well indicated in a statement
of a number of miners actually en-
ployed in underground work by the COM
panies operating. The work in progress
includes tunneling. shaft sinking and
prosecuting. With the exception of
five, all the companies have ore in the
leads being developed. The other five
companies nave indications of mineral
and are sinking to depth with a view to
cutting the Copper Blu and Copper
Price leads, and the lead of the Green
water Calumet Extension. The COM
panies with the number of men each
employ are as follows: Copper Cliff 6,
Copper King 6. Copper Chief 4, Green
water Calumet 5, Kempland s, Clark
Copper s. Furnace Valley 6, Butte
Furnace Range 6. Furnace Creek Exten-
sion s, Furnace Outside 6, Bimetallic

Some of the above companies employ
m~achinists, carpenters and repair men
besides the underground miners. Nota-
bly, is this the case with the Schwab,
Mackenzie and Clark properties. The
operations in the district are directed
and financed in thu main by two groups
of mining forces. namely, the Nevada
crowd and the Montana crowd, each
composed of successful mine operators.

A STUFFED EMPEROR.
Fate of valerian of Rome, Captured by
the Persans.

Fate of vaierisn of Rome, Captured by
the Persians.
One of the most remarkable stuffed
skins on record was that of Valerian
emperor of Rome, who was taken pris-
oner and afterward kept in chains by
Sapor, king of Persia. He was either
killed in n tumult or by order of his
losing his Variable living trophy, in
the year 269 The body of the dead
emperor was treated with no more
delicacy than when it held the spark
of living one. 1t was skinned. The
hide after being tanned was stuffed,
painted red and suspended in the chief
temple of the capital. 1t remained
there for many years and was the
popular spectacle for holiday makers
and visitors from the country. But ii
was put to more important ends than
this. 1t was made diplomatic engine
of much significance and efficiency. In
after times it often happened that the
Roman ENJOYS at the Persian court
had misunderstanding more or less
serious with the government to which
they were temporarily accredited.
When these ambassadors from Rome
grew arrogant in their demands, 1t was
the custom to conduct them into the
presence of the stuffed skin of the ex-
emperor of Rome, where they were
asked if humility did not become them

LITTLE MAN TAKES
BIC ONE PRISONER
Henry NettIes Came From In
dianapoIis and Took Luth-
er Trevan With Him.
WIFE FURNISHED A CLEW.
TREVAN ARRESTED THROUGH
INFORMATION THAT WAS FUR
NISHED BY HIS BETTER HALF
AT THE CAPITAL.

Henry Netties, an indianapolis col
ored man whp is short, stacky built
and bow-legged, today took Luther
Trevan, colored, who is big and pow
erfully built, back to Indianapolis to
answer a charge of petit larceny, Net
ties claiming that TTevan stole from
him three weeks ago suit of clothes
and an l. 0. 0. F. pin. Nettles Is not
an officer but when he was asked if
he was afraid to take Trevan back
with him to Indianapolis he laughed
scornfully. "I'll take him back if you
will lend me a pair of handouts" said
Nettles. This was done and passen-
gers on west bound interurban car
stared wonderingly when the short
captor boarded the car with the gigan-
tic prisoner.
Nettles at police headquarters stat
ed that he and Trevan had lived in the
same boarding house and had worked
for the same concern. About three
weeks ago, Nettles stated, Trevan en-
tered his room and stole the clothes
and the lodge pin. The latter he
pawned in indianapolis and then skip
ped out for parts unknown, it is
claimed.
Wife Supplies CleW.
Nettles stated that Wednesday Ire
van telephoned to his wife in India
napolis stating that he was in Rich
mond. his former home, and asked her
to join him here. Mrs. Trevan went
to Nett1es and told him where her
husband was. Without losing any
time Nettles boarded traction car
and came to this city. He located
Trevan then swore out a warrant for
his arrest. Trevan was placed in Gus
tody Wednesday night.
This morning Trevan asked to see
Nettles. When NettIes was taken to
the city Jail Trevan looked him over
with a sneer on his face then asked.
What are you going to do with me?"
Nettles returned the stare, then ans
wered. I'm going to take you back to
left the Jail. Prosecutor Jessup told
Nettles that he had a right to take
Trevan back with him as Trevan had
a felony and that the law
provided that in such cases any man
had the right to arrest and to bring
to justice the person who committed
the felony.
