much pleasure out of runabout mo-

little bit on the hills. But what of
that? We can go as fast as the law
allows, and it isn't nearly the trou-
ble.''
Mrs. Witherby sighed.
"As long as you are getting one,"
she said, why not get decent one?"
But this is decent It's just as
reliable as a bigger one, only smaller.

The next day when the trim little
runabout was delivered Mrs. With

time.

"Umph! Just like woman. Full
OF vanity. Everything for appear

But, my dear, you must admit
that it is trifie humiliating for us,
especially with our position. Yester-
day, when Mrs. Burt heard it was
coming, and what it was, she con-
graduated me. What do you think
of that?"
Rise above such things! What
nonsense! Come, let us go out for a
spin.''
At the end of a week Witherby
said:

The next few weeks the Witherbys

STRIKES REPORTED
In THE ROSEBUD DISTRICT

That the district of Rosebud Is walk
ing up to its opportunities and that
work is now started or ready to be
started upon several groups idle for
many months. is the good word brought
to Salt Lake on Wednesday by George
Wilson, one of the pioneers of the camp.
says the Tribune. Rosebud has never
been noted for its activity. but the time
has now come when it is necessary to
do assessment work in order to main
tain title to the various groups. and this
assessment work is bringing forth some
very fiattering results. Mr.. Wilson
states that there have been several very
good fnds of metal in the past week
or two.
One of these new disclosures Is on
the property known as the Big Six,
which property is owned by Macdon-

erty own the Brown Palace. the latter

Lake a car OF gold and silver ore. Mr..
Wilson states that various assays show
this ore to run extremely high In the
two metals. and he expects the car to

BLAZE MILL HAS BEEN
RuNNIM0 aTEADILY

Twenty of the 100 stamps of the mill
have been running pretty steadily the
past week and have averaged 22 out of
the "a hours per day. The power has
not been as constant nor strong as de-
sired, and in consequence thereof at
least two hours per day have been con-
sumed in the transfer of the juice to
the big crushers, and the stopping of
the mill was necessary in order that
there might be as little delay on the
other end as possible. III supply of
water too has had an influence on the
matter. in the small pipe 1t being i'm
possible to force through the amount
needed for all purposes. However. all
these difficulties will be overcome loon.
and there will be no necessity of curtail-
ing any portion of the plant. and all can
be- run at maximum capacity. The big
transformers at the new sub-station will
be in place within the next two weeks.
by which time the station near the mill
will be complete and there will then be
ample power for at least fifty. and dur

in the plant. The new line of the power

weeks now. and there will be ample cur

George Bergman, who recently left
for New York to interest capital in the
development of the Georgia group. has
returned and will put on a force of men
as soon as a camp has been established.
His efforts were crowned with success,
and 1t is known that considerable capt.
tai is now back of the Georgia. At pres
ent there is a 40-foot shaft on the prop
erty. which will be dropped to greater
depth. A good grade Of free milling ore
is exposed at this depth, and without
exaggeration 1t is one of the best pros
poets in the canyon. The rock shows
free gold, plainly visible to the naked
eye, and when more development work
has been done the Georgia is bound to
come to the front in a manner that will
surprise the outside world.
j.. f. Babcock and s. I. Lorando. of
Washington. ID. c., representing the
Ephstrete NJ. & M. company. arrived in
Searchlight the fore part of the week,
and on Friday left for Eldorado canyon
with a load of supplies. The Ephstrete
company recently purchased the Mid
way group of four claims, which is bet
ter known as the tSoner property. 1t
adjoins the Jubilee mine, and lies in
close proximity to the Fortuna and Te-
chaticup. 1t is the intention of Messrs.
Babcock and Loranda to start work on
the ground at once. and a deep shaft is
to be sunk. Two distinct veins on the
surface show o~utcroppings running as
high as $40 per ton. and in places speci-
men rock assays up to $S5 per ton.
The company is organized under the
laws of Arizona and is capitalized for

way to this market, n he expects the
lot to run up to typical Rosebud alti-
tudes. The shipment consists of ten to
twelve ions Mr.. Wilson states that
there is not the least doubt that Rose
bud will distinguish itself when prop
erty owners get busy on all sides, but
at the present time there is an unusual
amount Of work being accomplished
throughout that section.
W. G.. Page. the mining engineer. who
has been making a general inspection Of
the Rosebud district. has returned from
a highly satisfactory trip to that Sec
ton. which has attracted so much Salt
Lake capital during it's history. Mr..
Page stated Wednesday that in order
to give the Rosebud camp the character
of examination he desired 1t would take
him two weeks at least. but during the
short time he spent In going over the
various properties of the camp he be-
came very much impressed with the
richness and promise of the various
properties there.
At present here is not a great deal of
work being done. that is. not as much
as the merits of the camp demand there
should be lone. The camp SHOULD be
one Of the busiest in all Nevada. thinks
Mr.. Page. for he states that he had
never inspected any Nevada mining
camp which could display such surface
showings as Rosebud. The ores are not
only rich. but appear permanent. Mr..
Pages verdict Is that Rosebud Is worthy
of deepest confidence. and in every way
he was pleased with what results had
followed effort throughout the region.

TO DEVELOP
THE GEORGIA GROUP

chaticup has let a contract to Sherwood
& Boyer to haul ore from the mine to
the 25-stamp mill, which is now about
ready to start up. and is only awaiting
the concentration to arrive. 1t is ex-
pected at any time. The road from the
mine to the mill has been repaired and
is now in good condition. 1t is said that
but Is stamps will be used on Techati-
cup ores and the other ten will be util-
ICED to treat custom ore. This will be
a great accommodation to the small
operators in the y as there are
pay If the Techaticup mill can be in
duced to handle their output.
Manager George Freedom of the Bo-
nanza came in from Eidorado canyon
Tuesday and reports things progressing
satisfactorily. The new road has been
completed to the mine. and the camp
fully established. Work is now being
carried on in the old workings of the
Bonanza. where a crosscut is being run
to strike the vesp,. which is estimated
to be some 20 feet from the station.
-Four feet OF ore has already been en-
countered in this shaft. and a parallel
lead 100 feet distant, with a ten-foot
hole. shows up five feet of $12 rock.
This is considered a big thing as the
ledge can be traced quite a distance on
the surface. At an early date a mill
run is to be made. to determine the ex-
act values. If satisfactory. sufficient
capital has been pledged to erect a mill
on the property.
Good time is being made by Con-
tractor George Pemberton at the For
tuna in sinking the new shaft. The
WORK was started this week and to date
three feet per shift is the record. This
working will go to 125 feet. when a
crosscut will be run to connect with the
old shaft After the contract has been
completed the Fortuna will commence
the development of its ore body, and the
shaft dropped to greater depth.@Search-

RICE ORE SHOOT FOUND
ON VAN DORM PROPERTY

Last week a rich ore shoot was
opened up on the lease of the Van Dorm
property at Rawhide held by E. ]. Cot

was a veritable jewelry shop. the rock
fairly glittering with the yellow metal.
1t is said. and the specimens bear out
the assertion. hat the ore runs in a
streak about an inch wide $25 per pound.
One hundred pounds of this high grade
was sacked from one small shot put in.
The ore was struck at grass roots. the

Had the early settlers of Southern
Minnesota given more attention to
timber culture in the pioneer days
they could now laugh at the lumber
trust. There is still time to do some-
thing to retrieve the failures of the
past. Lumber will be higher with

NEW SWINDLING GAME
Farmer. Are Warned Against the
Fake Being Worked.

Farmers are being taken in by a
now species of fakirs and complaints
have been received here from all d.
rections concerning a set of fence
swindlers who are plying their trade
very successfully in Minnesota and
Wisconsin,.
The new fence game is unique. The
fence men offer to install a new eight
strand wire fence with iron posts for
only eight cents per foot. No money
is asked for on taking the order, but
a promissory note is given that the
fence will be paid for after it is set
up.
When the fence is set up and COL
lection is made on the contract the
note turns out to be for eight cents
per foot, per wire. or 81 cents a foot.
Many farmers have been caught by
the new graft, and warnings are be-
