SHORTY" HARRIS
FINDS MORE COLO

Mine owners in the Bullfrog
district, especially in the neigh
borhood of Rhyolite, are in a
fever of excitement over the
sensational discovery made in
the West Extension property
by Shorty" Harris, who dis
covered the Bullfrog.
Editor Frank Mannix, in the
Bullfrog Miner, announces that
some of the richest ore ever
uncovered in the Bullfrog dis
trict is being taken out of the
West Extension. Len P. Nc
Garry and Judge V. T. Hog
gait were out at the property
and brought back with them a
quantity of ore belonging to
the jewelry class. 1t came from
the drift being run to connect
the old development shaft with
the main working shaft being
sunk on the hillside at point
$50 feet in, and is literally
plastered with free gold. Sam
pies of the material gave an as
say return of $500. The entire
face of the drift is in high grade
ore which will probably aver
age into the hundreds.
The same rich stuff is also
appearing in the bottom of the
new shaft, and in the tunnel
being run on the Ethel claim,
owned by the same company,
thus proving continuous
body of this character for near
ly 1000 feet.

Ex-United States Senator Stephen w.
Dorsey, owner of valuable acreage
near Los Angeles and possessor of
Mexican mining property, all producers.
has become identified with a strong
syndicate of French and English cap
italists.
Senator Dorsey during the past
twelve months has made two business
trips to Europe, and has spent consid-
erable time in New York and WASH
ington.
Recently the senator closed deals at
Clifton, Ariz., for 100 valuable mining
claims in the Clifton district. The pur-
chase, which is for the French and
English capitalists, includes the Lezin-
sky group of thirty-four claims, the
Stevens Copper company forty eight
claims; the Elliott Walker group of
| twenty-seven claims and the Celtic
| group of twenty claims.
! Development work has already com.

PLAN FOR BIG SMELTER
IN GOLDFIELD DISTRICT

That the Goldfield district in Nevada
will have a smelter, both for the treat
ment of silicious and copper ores, with
in the next eight months is now an
almost assured fact. This announce
ment was given out by Colonel o. p.
Posey, the mining and smelter man,
upon his return to Goldfield few days
ago from Los Angeles.
Colonel Posey said that he and his
associates had been accommodating cop
per properties in the Ida, Cuprite and
other well-known Southern Nevada
copper camps for the past year or more
and that all of these properties were
undergoing development work to deter
mine the tonnage that could be pro-
duced. 1t has been demonstrated that
a sufficient quantity of ore, suitable
for the purposes stated above, can be
obtained.
"Goldfield has been selected as the
place for the smelter," said Mr.. Posey,
land when construction work COM
mences everything will be arranged for
and no time will be lost In completing
the plant. The smelter will have a
capacity of from 800 to 800 tons per day,
and in addition to the ordinary blast
furnaces for silicious ores 1t will have
reverberatories for the treatment of
copper"

LEASING SYSTEM
At SEARCHL|CHT
Jumper Mire on Mob Hill a Leader.
New Strikes on the "Flat" Stir
the Camp to Greater
Activity

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
SEARCHLIGHT, New. Jan. 26.-
Leasing is in vogue in Ell Dorado
canyon, twenty miles north of Search
light. Many rich strikes have been
made recently in this district and as
the rich ores are found close to the
surface several leases have been taken.
John Anderson has given two leases
on his Jumper mine, situated on Mob
hill, and active work has commenced.
On the Jumper lease four feet of high
grade silver ore has been struck run
ming as high as 5000 ounces in silver
per ton. The management of the Sill
YER Legion is about to let several
leases on their property to eastern
operators. The advent of the leasing
period will act as a great stimulus to
this end of Nevada, as heretofore the
general impression was that a fortune
had to be expended before any pay ore
could be encountered.
Another sensational gold strike was
made on the Stanley Forbes Mining
company's estate, four miles east of
Searchlight. This time the rich ore
was encountered in the Adit on the
south vein, at distance of 100 feet
from the south of the tunnel. The
vein Is about four feet in width, values
running from $1S.60 to $S45 in gold per
ton. Fourteen inches next to the
hanging wall run better than $500 per
ton. The ore is an iron stained quartz,
carrying values in galena and copper.
Strikes In the "Flat"
Count Charles Vanina has resumed
development wSrk on the Eddy mine
that was in litigation for the past
three years.
The new strikes on the "hat" to the
west of Searchlight continue to be the
sensation of the camp, as they are
proving up better every round of shots
fired. On the Adolph claim OF the
Searchlight Mammoth the vertical
prospecting shaft passed through six
feet of vein matter at a depth of fifty
feet. The foot wall dips at an angle
of 80 degrees This Is being followed
with ever increasing Improvement in
the ore body as depth is attained. Ex-
tensive development will be rushed
by the company as soon as the hoist,
now en- route. is installed.

WILL HANDLE LOW GRADE ORE
Marvellous Increase of Copper PRODUCE
tion in the State Of Sonora,
Mexico

The great increase in the production
of copper, which has put Mexico among
the chief producers of this metal. is
due to the properties in the state of
Sonora and particularly in the district
of Cananea, notes Cananea (Mexican)
correspondent. The greatest mine at
this camp Is the Greene Consolidated
Copper company. In eight years this
company has grown from nothing to
be one of the greatest works of it's kind
in existence, and it is now adding to
the worlds wealth of copper at the
rate of $10000,000 gold per annum. This
is Notwithstanding the fact that three
fourths of it's ore is of second grade
and has to be concentrated. Develop
ment has been carried on beyond the
ability of the surface equipment to
handle the tonnage, but this is being
rapidly brought up to meet the re-
quirements; the caving system is being
introduced in the mines; an elaborate
system of underground and surface
roads and ways, with electric traction,
between the mines and mills has been
installed; the concentrators have been
increased by 1000 tons and brought up
to daily capacity of $500 tons; an ex-
tenslve system of belt conveyers, for
bedding the ores and feeding the fur
naccs from the beds, is about ready
to be put into operation; the fines and
fiue dust are being sintered by a pat
ent process to relieve the work of the
blast furnaces, and the eight blast fur
naces now In commission are being re-
placed by larger furnaces. 80 by 1870
inches, at the tuyeres, and with auto
matte feed; so that 1907 should see
the present production of 100000
pounds per month greatly increased.
1t is said that the company will be able
profitably to handle ore running as low
as 1 per cent copper by the new and
enlarged plant, with the practically
automatic equipment which cuts down
labor cost of handling.

COPPER OUTLOOK
At GREENWATER
Three Millions for Lease of the Daisy
Claims-Showing Is Satisfactory
for the Sullivan Trust
Company

1t is stated that an option has been
taken on all the properties of the Daisy
Goldfeld Mining company by Colonel
o. p. Posey, William Bayley of Los
Angeles and a number of New York
capitalists. 1t Is stated that the price
to be paid is more than $3,000,000. The
company owns fifty acres of land in the
heart of the rich Goldfeld mining dis
trict.
GreenWater Prospects
The Copper Blue shaft of the Fur
mace Creek Copper company has pene-
trated a body of highly mineralized
porphyry, carrying iron plentifully
and copper oxide and sulphide.
The shaft Is vertical and passed out
of the vein into the granite foot wall at
a depth of 152 feet. At 430 feet the
new porphyry ore body was encoun-
tered. 1t appears to be lying fiat. If
the foot wall has maintained it's dip
the vein should be 60 feet from the
present shaft bottom.
Though 1t is too early to draw any
definite conclusions from this discovery
it's Significance is great. 1t is proven
that copper ore exists at very consid-
cradle depth-also that the porphyry
belt Is deep seated.
This development affects the whole
Greenwater district. 1t Is considered by
engineers most important as indicating
that the surface showings, which are
conceded to be remarkable, will not
prove misleading.
The Copper Blue shaft is being con-
tinued down to the water level with
all speed possible.
Sullivan Trust Company
The first annual meeting of the stock
holders of the l.. NJ Sullivan Trust
company, held at Goldfeld, was fully
attended, and after exhaustive reports
from mine superintendent at Gold
field, Manhattan, Fair View and Green
water, it was decided to continue de-
velopment of the eleven incorporated
and three unincorporated mining prop
critics controlled by the company at
once.
The recent financial difficulties of
the company were proven to have been
due to an effort to support the stocks
of the company during the falling mar
ket on mining shares brought about by
the labor troubles of December, which
had affected all mining properties
throughout the state of Nevada.
A statement compiled by expert ac-
countants proved that the company has
in the neighborhood of three times it's
obligations in marketable assets.
A new directorate was elected as fol-
lows to serve for six months: T. b.
Rickey John Sparks, Alexander Rus
sell, George d. Pyne and j. d. Camp
bell. The new board of directors elect
ed the following officers: r. b. Hickey,
president; Alexander Russell, vice pres
ident and general manager; j. L. Lind
say treasurer; George d. Pyne secre-
tary; ]. d. Campbell mine manager.

May Place GoldfieId Under Martial
Goldfeld, Dec. 11.-Governor Sparks
and Colonel Reynolds who is in
command of the federal troops here,
held a conference this morning and
separated without deciding on the
matter of declaring Goldfield under
martial law. 1t appears that the mine
owners are strongly urging Governor
Sparks to take this step before the
arrival of General Funston on Thurs
day. The governor and Colonel Rey-
nolds will discuss this matter again
this afternoon.
Today Colonel Reynolds was shown
ore worth about $40 pound which
was taken from high graders arrested
last night. He said he would like
to stop such outrages but was unwill-
ing to take decisive step until the
arrival of General Funston. The
Mine Owners Association still as
serts that the mines will be opened
tomorrow morning and that they have
plenty of men engaged to work them.
The effort to have martial law de-
clared today is for the purpose of al
lowing the troops to patrol the mines
and TO search for concealed arms and
ammunition alleged to be held by the
strikers in various places.
1t is feared attempts will be made
to destroy the machinery, power wires
or the water supply tonight unless
the soldiers take charge. On the
other hand the union men say there
will be no violence nor destruction OF
property.
Captain Swain of the Thiel Employ
ment Agency has left for California
to be ready to bring 500 mines here
on short notice. The men secured
are mostly lead miners from Joplin,
Missouri, who have been working as
strike breakers in Idaho and Califor-
mia. and who can be brought here in
two days time.

ORCHARD TESTIFIES
AGAINST PETTIBONE
Called as Witness for State In Trial
of Western Federation Official
Charged With Murder.

Boise, Dec. 1.-THE announcement
that Harry Orchard would be called
as q witness in the Pettibone trial this
morning caused the presence OF many
spectators. Orchard was called as the
first witness. He was dressed in a
business suit and his general appear
ance showed little change since the
Haywood trial The witness was per.
fectly composed and readily answered
the questions put to him.
The early life of Orchard in Canada
was touched upon, briefly. He told
later of his life In this country and of
joining the miners union. He mar
rated the events leading up to the
tragedy of April 80, 1SyJ, when the
Bunker Hill mine and Sullivan mill
were blown up.
Pettibones name was brought into
the testimony for the FIRST time when
Orchard said the defendant told him
In 1904 that the guns used in the 1899
riots were shipped by him in piano
boxes from Denver. AS Orchard tes-
titled Pettibone and Meyer watched
him closely but he merely glanced in
their direction.
The killing of Beck and Mccormack
in the Vindicator mine by Orchard
and Billy Aikman placed there for the
purposes Of killing non-union men,
was detailed by the witness. Before
he concluded this narration the noon
recess was taken.
