view to the City obtaining possession of
hthe Pearson property was read. The

TRAVELS IN THE HOLY
LAND TOMORROW NIGHT
Rev. George H. Greenfield, Phi. ~,
Who Has Finished Extensive Tour
of Holy Land. will Give
Lecture

Tomorrow night at the M E. church
Rev. George H. Greenfield will deliver
an illustrated lecture on "Travels in
the Holy Land This will include a
description of Damascus, Tiberias,
Nazareth, Cana, Samarls, Bethlehem,
Jericho and Jerusalem. All the cities
of Palestine will be illustrated and
described by Mr.. Greenfield. who has
recently seen and studied them.
The holy land contains much of gen
eral interest to mankind. Aside from
its general interest from religious
standpoint, being the abiding place of
Jesus Christ during his lays on eartn,
it is the land where the earliest civ
ilization appeared, a land that was
old when the Roman empire t1ourished,
and which dates back to prehistoric
times.
After 1000 years the manners and
customs of the people of the holy land
have remained unchanged.

WHAT MEANS THIS SUDDEN
TURN IN TEMPERATURE?

A sudden turn in the temperature has
made itself decidedly felt in Winnie
mucca during the past tow days, and
overcoats for some people were almost
necessity. The temperature dropped
20 degrees in short time. Friday
night and Saturday night were espe
cia,ly chilly and those who stayed out
late and strayed homeward near mid
night, shivered as they hurried along
the deserted streets "We had such
cold and late spring. said one man,
that ! thought when we did get
warm weather it would stay awhile,
but her when we are just getting so
we like warm weather we lose it. /"
A man from Colorado who arrived
here last February is under the i'm
preston that there is so little heat in
the hot days, and so much cold in
the cold days that he don't like the
climate.
To those whose feet have gotten
cold in the present cold spell we can
offer the consolation OF the w attn r
bureau, which advises that many
warm-yes. positively holidays are
yet in store before the SHOWS of win
ter come again.

SEVEN TROUGHS SALT
LAKERS DISTRIC

s. III. Harris, one of the best known
of Nevada s mining men, arrived in
Salt Lake from Seven Troughs yes
terday and will spend several days
there on business. Harris has spent
the last five years almost continuous
ly in Nevada, says the Salt Lake
Herald. He visited all the important
camps and in many of them he has
important interests. He is full of
enthusiasm over the Seven Troughs
country, which he regards as the most
promising in the entire state.
"Seven Troughs,' said Mr.. harris,
is really about the only district in
Nevada that is receiving great deal
of attention just now. Through all
the recent slump in Nevada securities
and in the market value of properties
the work of Seven Troughs has gone
steadily forward The district has
been proved at depth, as is indicated
by the encountering of sulphides IN
several of the properties.
AS you already know, some ore
has been shipped from the Kindergar-
ten and more is being extracted for
shipment. The Mazuma Hills will be-
gin shipping the lst of july and tne
Seven Troughs Fairview has already
begun shipping. l am confident that
within the next few months some re-
markable showings viii be made by
Seven Troughs properties. The camp
is only % miles from Loyelock. the
nearest realroad point, and line of
fast automobiles makes it possible u

SAND LIZARDS AND BAD
BOOZE INVITED 10 CONGRESS

To live for years ON the desert with
out getting disgusted with the end
less monotony of sand and sagebrush
is practically impossible, but the
strong sense of humor that turks in
every American makeup helps con-
siderably, as is shown by the follow
ing from the Sacramento Union:
Whether or not Hazen, Nevada, will
be repres nted at the national lrriga-
tion congress here in September, de-
pends upon the reply ". A. Beard,
executive officer of the congress, re-
ceives to telegram sent yesterday to
Jim Bludsoe, Hazen IS pioneer citizen,
in which he offered to allow Hazen to
lie represented by anything from Gila
monsters to bad whisky. 1t all came
about by faeetous answer made by
the telegraph agent at Hazen to an
earnest an dignified plan made by Mr..
Beard that Hazen should show to the
irrigation congress and the world at
large that it is on the map. The an
swer that he got is considered around
the board of control headquarters as
the best joke since the local headquar-
ters was opened.
Mr.. Beard had considered that a
town with Hazen's notoriety should
certainly be the proud p ssessor of a
chamber of commerce. so yeste rday he
addressed telegram to the Hazen
chamber of commerce, asking now
large a representation the suppos, d
promotion body of Hazen would have
at the congress. No answer came
from the chamber Of commerce. but

REPORT GOOD FIND
IN new SECTION

Advices received here in the last
few days tell OF strike of ore tnat
looks like it might carry cinnibar, as
well as lead, silver, copper and gold,
about so miles west of Winnemucca,
and from % to 80 miles north of Rose
bud.
The strikewasmadeby prospectors in
the employ of S. +. Hunt, a mining
engineer of Ely, to whom samples of
the ore were sent. Assays of some o.
these samples have shown an average
of 30 ounces of silver, so per cent
lead and $1.20 in gold.
The two men who made the new
strike state that they have located
ten claims on four distinct veins
one of copper, two of ead-silver and
one of gold and cinnibar. The ground,
they say, as far as they have been
able to ascertain, is virgin ground,
and no one thus far has done any
prospecting in this section. The
strike is only about 35 miles from the
Western Pacific railroad.
Mr., Hunt is expected to arrive
in Winnemucca shortly to examine
the property.

REWARDED BY OBTAINING
MINE PROPER Z
Charles Morrison Of Carson City Gets
Possession of Weir Patented
Mines at DEMO

As reward for searching the rec
ords of patented mines in Humboldt
county, in the Denio copp bet,
Charles Morrison of carson City has
obtained control of the mines.
These claims were located and pat
onted by James G. Weir in 1865. last
year they were sold Tor non-paym, MT
of taxes and bought in by his daugh-
ter. Charl $ Morrison of Carson City,
having examined tie property and be-
ing convinced of the value of the
mines, examined tn records and re-
deemed the property, and thus obtain
ed control of the mines.
The patented property embraces
two claims that were pat nted by
Miles Goodman, grandfather of Nor
rison, and his par ner, man named
j. G.. Weir, now located at San Fran
cisco. There were two claims, each
200 feet wide and 5000 feet long, and
Goodman owned two thirds of the
property patented. They did some
work on the property, but not to any
extent, and tn N about 1855 Goodman
died and the prop rty remained idle.
Morrison recently returned from
DEMO, where he had been to inspect
the property, and brought back a
number of samples with him.
The samples brought back carry as
tonishing values. Copper samples
running over 30 per cent are shown
and number of small pieces Of
quartz carrying fine wire gold. Mr..
Morrison says that no well defined
ledge has been opened, but that the
samples come from deep cut made
years ago. There are number of
copper and gold outeroppings on the
surface and mining men state they

NEVADA NORTHERN
STRIKES RICH
COPPER ORE

J. C. Fuller, the local manager for
the Nevada Northern Copper Mining
& Milling company, owner of large
number of copper claims in Sonoma
canyon, about IL miles south OF
Winnemucca, upon which extensive
development work has been going on
for some time, came into Winnemucca
Friday with samples of very rich cop
per, which were taken from the face
of the tunnel now being driven by the
Gratz brothers ON the Copper Queen
claims.
The tunnel is now in only eight
feet. The ledge at this point is about
four feet wide. while the rich streak
from which the high grade was taken
is six inches wide. The ore assays 80
per cent copper.
In addition to the tunnel work being
done on the Copper Queen, the Nevada
Northern people are sinking on this
claim and have shaft down about
40 feet. Mr.. Fuller states that it is
the intention of the company to sink
this shaft to point below the per
manent water level, while the tunnel
will be extended in distance of 200
feet BY means of the shaft and the
tunnel comparative estimate of the
ore body of the Copper Queen can be
gotten. If the present favorable in
dications continue, the result will be
that copper properties in Sonoma can
yon will be exteremeIy valuable.
The plans of the Nevada Northern
are for the erection of smelter, for
which the general environment is
very convenient. There is plenty .
wood in the canyon, and the company
owns first-class water right. M'-aes-
al for fuxing purposes is right at
hand. The nearest railroad point to
Sonoma canyon is Wininemucca.
