PENNINGTON TO GET
UNITED VERDE
SHELTER
RUMOR OF THE MOVE Is
GENERALLY CREDITED
Well Informed Mining Men De-
clare There is Basis for the
Story of the United Verde
Change,

Well informed mining mon who
have been in Albuquerque recently are
inclined to credit the story which has
that Senator w. A. Clark's United
Verde ksmelter will be moved in the
near future from Jerome, Arizona. to
Pennington, New Mexico, where the
smeltef would be on the ground with
its fuel supply. n story finds some
basis from the well known fact nat
as a result of the undermining OF
the ground on which fhe present
plant stands, it is slowly settling, so
that the removal of the plant from its
present site IS absolutely necessary in
the near future. Mining men who are
in a position to know, say that The
removal to Pennington or some point
in san Juan county has been undor
consideration for some time: that
there is ample practical reason for
such a move n that the Clark inter-
cstS own or control coal fields in san
Juan county sufficiently extensive to
supply the smelter with fuel for an
indefinite period. The proposal ac-
cording to the current story. is that
Clark will build a railroad from Jc-
rome to Pennington, by way Of Gal
lup, New Mexico. 1t is cheaper. the
miners say. to haul the ores to the
fuel supply than to haul the fuel to
the ore base.
The establishment of this smclter in
Pennington would mean much for the
development not only of the immedi-
ate section, out Of all northwest NV
Mexico.

funny MEN MAY HAVE
JOKE on GOLDF|ELD.
DID PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN
HUMORIsTS GET EASY MONEY
FROM COMMITTEES.

An investigation is being made by
Sam Davis of the publicity commits
sion to determine what has become
of the $4,000 which was contributed
by mining men of Goldfield and given
to Frank Starlight, now president OF
the American Association of Humor-
lists, says an exchange.
Several months ago, while Starlight
was secretary of the association of
which he is now president, ne was in
Goldfield and stated to Sam Davis
that If the latter would raise sub
scription of $4,000 he would bring a
party of forty of the best humorists
in the country to Nevada, tour the
entire state with them and publish a
series of articles descriptive of Neva-
da and her agricultural and mineral
resources.
Davis took the matter before the
Goldf1eld chamber of commerce, and
that organization started the ball
rolling by contributing $500. The
$4,000 was raised in the city of Gold
field before Davis and Starlight left.
The money collected was given to
Starlight, and a short time later he
landed in Goldfield, not with forty of
the most prominent humorists of the
day, but with three writer's and sew
eral women. Starlight and his party
spent but the night in Goldfield and
left the next morning for Los An
geles. None of the other mining
camps of the state were visited, and
nothing has yet been seen of the de-
scriptive reading matter which was
to have been produced by the humOr-
lists.

.YERINGTON SHOWING
GREAT ADVANCEMENT
DEVELOPMENT OF BIG MINES IN.
DICTATES BRILLIANT FUTURE
FOR THAT CAMP.

John Dern, who was recently in
Reno and the Yerington mining dis
trict has returned to Salt Lake, where
he was interviewed.
81 went to Yerington with j. d.
Wood and ]. C. Dick and it was my
first visit there since last November, -
said Mr.. Dern. 81 was then i'm
pressed with the outlook for the flu
ture, and l am now convinced that
Yerington will make one of the best
camps in the west | was all through
the Ludwig property of the Nevada
Douglas with Mr.. Wood. We in
spected all the, big bodies of fine sui
phide ores exposed on the lower
levels and the showing fully con-
vinced me that the ores all go to
the deep in that district. went
all over the surface workings of the
Douglas group and was astonished at
the manner in which the great min
eral zone was being developed. The
extent of the mineral making coun-
try is so extensive that it prom
ises a brilliant future for that
portion of the camp, while the work
is being carried out on such excellent
lines and is so splendidly proving the
ground at depth that one could not
help but admire the system en-
ployed. With electric energy now at
the disposal of the company fine pro-
gress must be made from now on.
After visiting the Nevada Doug
las Mr.. Wood and | took in the YER
ington Consolidated, in which we are
both largely interested. The show
ing on this property is good and SIM
liar to that found at the Bluestone
on one side and the Mason valley on
the other. Work is being prosecut-
ed in two other places here to gain
depth and l have no doubt but what
good results will be obtained.
Through the courtesy of General
Manager George E. Gum we were
enabled to inspect the workings of
the Mason Valley property. The
showing in the lower tunnel is most
excellent one. They are now driving
ahead through and prosecuting
magnificent bodies of sulphide cop
per ore. Another tunnel has been

just that much bigger when connec-
tons are made. The surface condi-
tons at this property are similar to
those at the Yerington Consolidated
and we expect to get similar ore bod
les at depth in the latter ground.
The poles are up and the power line
is now completed to the Mason Val
ley and upon the receipt of trans
formers that have been delayed, the
company's compressor plant will be
connected up with the electric cur
rent.
81 also inspected the Nevada Be-
nanza, of which Mr.. Dick is man
ager, and in which l am also inter-
ested. The company owns the Reve-
nue. and Bonanza groups of claims,
and the surface showings on both
are good. The properties are being
developed on intelligent lines by Mr..
Dick and confidently expect good
results to follow

Cultivating Seedless Minds.

Luther Burbank, the wizard of the
vegetable world, is reported to have
said that the salvation of the human
race lies in applying to children the
methods by which he has wrought
such marvels in the inanimate world.
He has made apples grow without
seed, cacti without thorns, and toma-
toes ripen upon potato vines, but in
finitely more he says could be done
with children. If parents would pay
attention to the shoots of the young

weeds. everybody would be physical

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR BUSY ORONDO
Epidemic of Industry Hits That
Happy Valley-Many Trees
Are Planted.

The protracted somnolence of
Orondo has been fractured by a squirt
of amazing industry. For years the
greater portion of that Columbia flat
has lain idle, awaiting this day of
awakening. A few hardy growers
had planted trees and were thriving
in the ancient place, but it remained
for the spring of 1907 to see a real
boom come to that happy valley.
From all reports they're certainly
throwing themselves now.
1t is said that more trees are being
set out this spring than have been
planted in any three previous years,
and every indication points to great
growth for the Orondo community
this year. Messrs Pitcher. Edmund.
Tidmarsh, Card and others are all
planting new orchards. Duddleson
has planted 1900. Clyde Trapp $500,
Somney 500, Swan 1000, and Ed
Simonton is planting a large orchard
of 27 acres entirely to new trees.
Several pumping plants employing
gasoline engines Of from Is to 20
horse power are being installed this
spring, and irrigation has taken on a
new impetus.

ing bright for Orondo.

HURT IN G. N. WRECK.
Most Of Those Injured in Smoker
Other Cars Go in Ditch.

ST. PAUL, April 23.-Twelve per-
sons were seriously injured and a
dozen or so more were more or less
badly hurt in the wreck Of the Great
Northern passenger train No. one
mile east of Blaisdale last night. One
or two of the injured may die. The
wreck was caused by broken rail.
The engine did not leave the track,
but the baggage. express, mail and
smoking cars and the day coach and
tourist sleeper were hurled into the
ditch where they lay on their sides.
The passengers say that the train
was an hour late and was making up
time. Most of those who were hurt
were in the smoker which received
the full force of the compact.
The injured were brought to Minot
on special train.
