CONSTRUCTIVE WORK At
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.
viii Be Ready For Visitors On Opening
Day.

/. Norfolk. Va, March %. To the
superficial eye the constructive work
nj the jamestown Exposition appears
less advanced at present than IL was
some months ago. This apparent ret
repression is due to the sudden aetiv-
ity of the host of the over cautious
which followed the million-dollar
loan from the government. Money
moves the masses, and this money
has moved matters amazingly Mt the
Exposition.
With the development OF the great
exhibit palaces and most OF the state
buildings some time ago, the grounds
present very orderly appearance.
but the present confusion, incident to
the large building operations OF be-
lated coneessionaries and others. has
temporarily marred the picture. 1t
lis. however, merely A brief and tran
STORY episode in the constructive
progress of this great enterprise. a
second wind, as IL were, which viii
land the exposition on time and
winner for the opening day.
With the overwhelming rush, crush
and clatter Of machinery and manip-
ulation, the work is progressing nj n
rapid rate, and out OF this welter of
work and worry there will shortly
come forth a wonderland Of order and
beauty.
The great government pier is well
under way, and though presenting for
the moment chaos of material and
machinery, the contractors are certain
of having ii ready for the grand open
ing of April 20. The completion Of
this work is very necessary as the
officers and men of the foreign war
ships will make landings here.
All over the grounds the rush is on
in earnest. The large force of work
men is being constantly increased,
making hive of feverish industry in
which is maintained an uninterrupted
race against time with April 20 for
the goal.
The desire for the originality in this
enterprise included the item of com
pleteness for the opening day, some
thing not heretofore known. Under
the great effort being put forth il is
possible that this may be accomplish
ed. At any rate, the little unfinished
construction--if any--at that time,
will not materially mar the beautiful
aspect of the grounds or interfere with
the pleasure of early visitors.

THEATRE ATTRACTIONS.
Plays Billed For Local Playhouse.

Messrs. Miller and Plohn went care
fully into the history Of 'The Black
Crook before venturing on their great
revival of this famous old spectacle,
originated forty years ago, which
comes to the Colonial Theatre to-
night. They discovered that with the
improvements in stage mechanism,
with the advantages offered by New
York S studios today and the oppor-
tunities for interpolating modern acts,
a revival would be success. And
Ii has been, for in ali of the large
cities this season "The Black Crook"
has played to capacity houses. The
final transformation scene, the presence
of such acts as the Donazettta Family,
the Eight English Girls, direct from
the London Hippodrome, illustrate
the expense the promoters went TO in
order to make "The Black Crook a
modern spectacle.

STRIKE AT DULUTH

Dave Fife and Billy Burns report
one of the biggest strikes ever made
in the Duluth district. They have
some high grade specimens that
make ones eyes bulge out. The ore
is from the July claim, one of a
group of thirty which they have To-
Gated in that section.
The ledge is from eight to ten feet
wide, but the rich pay streak varies
from ten to fourteen inches. From
this pay streak many samples have
been taken which run from $12, 900
to $4,000 to the ton in gold.
The ore is now on exhibition and
attracts much attention from experts.
Fife and Burns are prospectors of
much experience in this country and
are confident they have a bonanza.

QUAIL SPRINGS
SILVER STRIKE

Further development is proving
the great lead-silver strike neal
Quail springs, made three weeks ago
to be all that was claimed for it al
the time, says the Crackerjack News
Over 100 claims have been located
in the district, and the surrounding
territory is fairly teeming with pros
pectors, their campflres at night be-
ing seen for miles around in every
direction. Several Los Angeles par
ties have arrived in the district this
week looking for property.
Kennedy brothers, the discoveries
of the district, arrived in Crack
erjeck Sunday from Quail springs,
bringing samples of rich galena from
the Silver King, their bonanza prop
erty. Assays of ore taken from the
surface two weeks ago averaged 80
per cent in lead, twenty-five ounces
in silver and So in gold. At a depth
of fifteen feet the ore gives evidence
of carrying much higher values in
silver, although assays have not as
yet been returned.
On the Silver King group of ff-
teen claims the veins have been
proven by open cuts to be from eigh-
teen feet to thirty-five feet in width.
The ledge matter is a tale spar, be-
tween porphyry and granite. The
great dyke in which the rich ore IS
found can be traced for miles
through the country. the main vein
having been proven t ODE over three
miles in length.
In the deepest hole which has been
sunk on the Silver King the ore is
changing in character, making into
a carbonate. carrying high silver
values.
Kennedy brothers are now outfit.
ting in Crackerjack for a long stay
at Quail springs. They intend to run
a tunnel to tap the ledge at a good
depth.
Howard and Kelley have secured
the extension of the Silver King
ground, and have opened up two feet
OF ore of the same character as the
original strike. James Mount, Nc
Cabe and Christy, Joseph Lake and
many others have located claims
close in, on which they are now at
work.
A good offer was made this week
by Nevada men for the Silver King,
but it is understood that the deal has
not as yet been communicative

THINKS HE HAS
new COMSTOCk

RHYOLITE, July 6.-The poet.
p%rospector, Eddy, arrived today on
burro he had ridden from the Pana.
Elints, desert-stained and pictur.
esque, with a sack of ore samples
that give some evidence of the dis.
covery of another Comstock. He
claims to have uncovered a ledge
twenty feet wide that assays 10, 900
ounces of silver to the ton. The ledge
was entirely overlooked until a few
Gays ago, when Indians went to
Greenwater and brought back white
friends and pointed out the ledge,
which was hardened surface rock.
Solid chunks of silver lay upon the
ground, of which the Indians did not
know the value. Eddy and other
PARTIES overlooked the ledge until
the Indians pointed ii out to the
Greenwater party. 1t was located
within 100 feet Of Eddy's holdings,
and he found that the ledge runs
through a portion of his property and
also through the property of some
Rhyolite newspaper men.
The rock was so full of silver that
the Indians had melted it in crude
furnaces. The rock, subjected to
heat, gives out a white stream of
silver. Eddy declares II must he an
other Comstoek If the values con-
tinue down. Eddy also brought out
rock showing gold. silver, copper,
lead and zinc. He believes that the
Panamints are at last yielding up
values which will eclipse all other
portions of the mining country.

$4,000 ORE ON
MOHAWK-DULUTH

One of the biggest strikes made
in Nevada Tor several months was
that made on the Mohawk-Duluth
near Duluth. The excitement was all
the greater on account of the rich
values being found at a place where
little, if anything, was expected. All
of which goes 10 show that Duluth
ore is not confined to any narrow
limits but the whole country is full
of gold. Another evidence is the big
find made a few days ago over two
miles in an opposite direction from
the townsite.
The Mohawk-Duluth ore was dis
covered on the Amethyst claim. The
ledge opened up upon this property
is. witrout doubt one of the finest
showings in the state when the
amount of development is consid-
cred. 1t was in the nature of a blind
lead, not observable on the surface
and only discovered by trenching
from a point where float was found
a short distance below the apex of
the vein.
Rich values were found from the
start. The ore being in the form Of
white quartz boulders in the lead
with every indication Of sulphurets.
These indications proved true. A
shaft was sunk on the incline, fol
lowing a well-defined wall-prob
ably the footwall.
Values increased and now sui
phurets OF gold have been found
carrying values way up in the
thousands, $4,000 assays not being
uncommon.
Another fact which attracts the
attention Of all Nevadans is that
pieces of ore were examined by com
petent mining engineers and found
absolutely identical in character and
appearance to Hayes-Monnett Mo-
hawk. Identical!
1t has that blush caste of sui
phurets and white quartz with white
powdered coating so familiar to all.
Everything looks favorable for
a really great mine. Hosting ma
ehinery is at this writing being
rushed from Austin. This property
is to be installed at once and da-
velopment will be pushed. Even
sanguine residents here and old min
ers say that it is impossible at pres
ent to realize the possibilities of such
a great showing.-Duluth Tribune.

STRIKES GOOD ORR

me Sonora Leasing company has
struck the richest ore that they have
so far found in their operations. They
have cut a rich ledge with free gold
all over 1t.
For some days the tunnel BOYS
have been drilling in a phonolite
dixie such as that In which the orig
inal strike was discovered, expecting
momentarily to cut the mineral
bearing ledge. They cut it and now
his great find gives added assurance
to the success of Duluth.
The ore contains considerable sill
yer as wen as gold. which is. of
course, a good sign. There is at
present about eighteen inches of
this good stuff with several feet Of
lower values. Tribune.
