Indian Reservation Shows Good.

Nina, Nev.-Reports from the Indian
reservation indicate that the district is
going to have one of the greatest min
ing Developments in the state during
the season. In the neighborhood OF
Schurz important copper strikes have
been made and in the southern part,
about Cottonwood creek, some phe
nomenal strikes of gold have been
made.
The gold finds appear to be confined
to the southern part of the district,
about Dutch and Cottonwood creeks
Although the properties there are in
the early stages of development, some
great strikes have been made. This
Is especially true on the Wild Horse
property, where assays of the ore run
from $21 to $37,S00, it is claimed. This
latter assay is from a streak in the
main ledge and there are signs of per-
manency. The company is already pre-
pairing to develop the property on a
greater scale than ever before, and be-
fore next fall the indications are there
will be one Of the producing mines Of
the state on Cottonwood creek.

NEWS FROM THE MINES AND MILLS
ouoae nheins Spend Millions.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-"The Gug-
genheims OF Denver have spent $4,000
600 during the last few months in ac-
curing placer properties on the Hun
ker and Eldorado creeks, near Dawson
City, and many other large capitalists
are following suit" said i. j. Hartman,
postmaster of Dawson, who Is IN the
city. a guest at the Antlers, on his way
back to Dawson from Toronto, where
he spent the winter. Mr.. Hartman ex-
poets to arrive in Dawson by the first
boat, which will go up early in June.
Alaska and the klondike have pro-
duced 1856, 5000 in gold in the last
nine years" said Mr.. Hartman. and
vet the country has not been more
than scratched. The mining business is
changing from the work Of individual
miners to that of large companies and
as a result the next few years Will see
the gold production of the country
greater than ever Capitalists like the
Guggenheims are taking up the placer
proposition and working the ground
with steam and electric dredges, which
can operate all winter. The profits
from this mode of placering have been
enormous and yet there are hundreds
of creeks that have never been touched
but which are known to be splendid
placer propositions. A large company
has recently been organized in New
York to treat the huge beds OF gravel
close TO Dawson which are known TO
carry values of from $50 to $3.50 per
cubic yard and which can be easily
worked for about so cents yard.
There are literally mountains of this
gravel, and the results of the new COM
panys operations will be watched with
great interest"
Mr.. Hartman was formerly well
known in this state, having been for
four years acting postmaster at Gun
nison during the absence of his
brother.

Schwab An Enthusiast.

am an absolute enthusiast on the
mineral possibilities of Nevada. The
showings this year in the gold camps
of that state have been far in advance
of what the most optimistic of us eX-
pected. l look for new era in the
mining industry of Nevada, and believe
that for the next two years mining op-
erations of the most profitable charac-
ter will be carried on in the newly-dis-
covered bonanza camps of that state.
When we stop for an instant to real
ize that all of these large mine earn
ings and mine developments in these
new camps have been the result of less
than three years work one begins TO
appreciate the valuable character OF
the territory located there.
In addition, do not believe that this
era of mine activity will be limited to
Nevada, but will follow along the en-
tire western belt. The East has been
slow to realize the possibilities of the
western mines when properly man
aged, but earnings have told the story
quicker than any other amount of per-
suasion-Charles NJ. Schwab, in New

Find Tin ON Moran Prairie.

Spokane, Wash.-Spokane mining
raen are talking over a report of the
opening OF what seems to be big COM
nercial deposit OF tin ore on Moran
Frairie.
The ore, it is said, has been dis
c!Qsed on the property about eight
miles southeast of Spokane, on which
Patrick Clark held an option last fall.
The land lies just this side of Ever
green station, on the Spokane & Inland
railway. Mr.. Clark drove a crosscut
more than 100 feet, disclosing a foot
cf ledge matter which carried a four
inch stringer of galena which assayed
nfty-seven ounces in silver and more
than seventy per cent. lead to the ton.

Cioudburst Kills Many.

Oklahoma City Okla Seven people
are reported dead as the result of a
cloudburst Monday at Capitol Hill, a
suburb
Many persons camped on the low.
lands near the river were caught un-
awares and had but little time to
escape. The river is bankfull and it
will be some time before it can be de-
termined whether any lives were really
lost.
Following the cloudburst there was
another heavy rainfall, which caused
the river to rise higher, endangering
property in the lowlands.
Three thousand people live on Capl-
tol hill. which lies south OF the North
Canadian river. opposite Oklahoma
City. The hill is drained into small
stream called Lightning creek, which
enters the river just below Oklahoma
City. The water came down the creek
and covered the lowlands in such vol
ume as to force out people living in
tents, shanties and small houses upon
the low ground.
Oklahoma City proper was not at all
endangered.
An area covering several square
miles has been flooded, causing thous-
ands OF dollars damage to railway and
farm property. Railway traffic is par
alyzed. One mile of Santa Fe tracks
out OF Oklahoma City have been
washed out. The Canadian river is ris.
ing rapidly and people in the lowlands
are moving out.

New Discovery in Nevada.

Round Mountain, Nev.-Visitors to
the property Of the Round Mountain
Sphinx Mining Company have been
treated to a somewhat unusual and en-
tirely remarkable sight.
In an open cut forty feet long and
averaging five feet in depth hanging
wall has been exposed the entire dis
tance. For fully ten feet along the
entire depth particles of free gold are
seen, it is said, in such profusion as to
give the appearance of having been
plastered on with trowel.
This new discovery Is situated about
800 feet east and up the hill from the
Sphinx main shaft. The vein runs
east and west with a westerly dip,
standing at an angle of about eighty
one degrees The rich gold seam is a
fissure about two inches wide, in the
volcanic rhyolite. The vein has been
stripped distance of forty feet and in
some places as deep as ten feet. A
cross-fissure has been disclosed, form
ing junction with the one mentioned,
and Superintendent Hazelgrove ex-
poets to begin sinking at the point of
this conflict.

GLOBE COLTS WIN
 SLUGG|NG MATCH
Youngsters Take North Globe into Camp by Score of Fif-
 teen to Eleven

A good sized crowd of fans turned out Sunday afternoon to see the game at the ball park between the Globe Colts and North Globe team, and judg- ing from the roofing, the crowd seemed to have secured it's money s worth. The Colts appeared in their new red and white uniforms and their opponents in uniforms all the way from six to fif- teen years old, overalls and working clothes, and one of the players distin- gushed himself by wearing high col lar throughout the game. The North Globe team was composed of few has beens, one or two never vases and sew eral pretty good players who would have no trouble in making good in the cactus league. The lineup was subject to continual changing, but only three pitchers were used up-a pretty good record.
 The Colts, as their name signifed, were young and high-strung, given to occasional bolting and cratic work in the field. Several of them showed in- dications of talent and few of them are good enough to play in the regular team. The batting of North, the Colts first -baseman, was the feature of the game. He made four hits in five times up, one of them home run and two were doubles. Lacey for the North Globes made four hits in four times at bat, but he had hard luck in getting away from frst-or, rather, staying there. An old head, whose name could not be learned, ofiieiated behind the bat for the North Globes for a few innings and then was shifted to first. He was the real star in the game and divided the honors with Mike Murphy, who pitched the last half of the game. Mur. phy s work watching the bases was the best ever seen on local field.
 The Colts got the better of the start but at the half they were overtaken. They again took the lead, however, and finished strong without whip or spur. The final score was l5 to II.

SETTLE FAMOUS
 B|SBEE CONTEST
Property Valued at Two Million Remains with Present Own
 CTS of Same

Receiver Fen s. Hildreth of the Phoe- nix land office has decided the dispute, which was heard by him few days ago, concerning the right of Chris J. Radovich and M. J. Medigovich to a mineral patent to the Dom Paul mining claim in the center of Bisbee, adversely to the applicants for the patent.
 Property estimated at fully se,000,000 was involved in this dispute, some of the largest buildings and most yalu- able business property in the center of Bisbee. All the business property along the lower end of Brewery gulch was in. cluded in the controversy.
 An application by Radovich and Medigovich for mineral patent to the Dom Paul mining claim was made some time ago, which was contested by the city officials of Bisbee on the ground that the claim is located inside the Bis bee townsite and is more valuable for townsite than mineral purposes.
 Radovieh and Medigovich sought to show that the ground was mineral bear ing, had been taken up by them twenty years ago, and that they should be granted mineral patent despite the fact that every foot of the surface rights was held by other parties, and most of it covered by business blocks.
 When the matter came on for hearing before Receiver Hildreth a few days ago, neither Radovich nor Medigovich put in an appearance. J. M. O'Connell, attorney for the Bisbee townsite, and several ex-parte litigants appeared.
 Evidence was taken to show that the ground included in the oom Paul was not mineral bearing, and would not be valuable for mining purposes. Part of the evidence was of an interesting char acter, being given by Jacob Schmid, l.. c. Shattuck and others who have re- sided in Bisbee for the past twenty five years.
