Tom bent over his pick. There was
more hOoting here, but whether at
himself or ut his enemy Tom neither
knew nor cared. He wished to appear
very busy and regardless. He was
really intent upon Mats shadow under
his pick, wondering whether he could
possibly spring so far forward in his
chains and get such n swing as to bury
the pick in the substance instead. But
this was never known. When the
hOoting subsided, the noise of light
wheels approaching took its place, and
Nat Sullivan turned round in his sad
die.

Reception Called Of,

The reception to have been given
to 100 members of the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce was called
off last Monday. Secretary Monroe
notified Chairman George Head
that they were unable to secure

the excursion had been called off.
They may come later, possibly this
fall, Preparations for their recep
ton here were accordingly stopped.
The preliminaries had been ar
ranged to give the Spokane men a
splendid reception, and should
they come later, Ronners Ferry

ton in the railway world.
The l6-hour law (which goes INTO

tates a Encouragement of division
headquarters on the mountain di-
visions. They must be cut down
in distance. The object of the law
is to prohibit railway companies
from working trainmen over 10

of continuous service, and some
times until they become so ex-
hausted for want of rest and sleep

statute passed by the last congress.
No official announcement has

for the blower. with a capacity of 140
horsepower and the second for the

soon as the new installation now under

able to materially improve it's practice

"a larger reserve of oke is at present
at the smelter than ever before in the
history of the operations. The company
experienced a record breaking month
during May and the production of the
mine and smelter exceeded that of any
previous month by at least 25 per cent
in the value IF its output. 1t is pos
sible that both furnaces will be kept
in commission during a part of the

of our operations, but we hope that
these conditions will be improved in
the near future"

the exact route that the line of railroad
would take he stated that this had not

grading and actual construction would
be undertaken in the very near future

Tom Wilson Makes Important Dis,
coveries Near Round Mountain
Among the Clutches in
Low Hills

Tom Wilson, who first discovered the
dry placers" at Round mountain and
cleaned up a fortune there has found
a new gold field, and but for the
secrecy which he has maintained con-
cerning the find, there would have been
a stampede to the scene. The knowl-
edge leaked out through a man who
was employed by Wilson to do loca-
tion work on a number of claims. This
man did a little panning during his
idle moments and returned to Round
mountain with a small vial filled with
coarse gold. Despite fancy wages and
bonus of $50 to ''hold his tongue" he
released the information and,the news
reached a select few, who quietly slid
out and found the field. Among them
was w. B. Colburn. who succeeded in
making several locations for himself
and his associates on which he found
plenty of the yellow stuff. He hiked to
Goldfield, outfitted and returned to
camp prepared for operations on an
extensive scale.
Colburn gives the location as forty
five miles northeast of Round noun
tain," in the gulches between low hills.
The district is new one, as yet un-
named Besides the placer locations
Colburn has discovered some likely
looking ledges which may or may not
be the source OF the placer gold.

is abundant wood and water OF the
finest quality at hand. The Blsnop-

Openings at various points on the

the existence of a very large property.
Some big specimens of ore from the
Jvanhoe group are on exhibition in j.

prises three claims adjacent to Hunter
canyon and about three miles from
Laws and adjoining the Red Rose
group, now under option to the Inyo
Mines Syndicate. It's present owners
are Frank Toney, E.tRudolph and Mrs
Deyo, but from the interest mining
visitors are taking in it's speciments
some change is not unlikely. The ore
from it's several lodges varies in char
acter, including gold, galena and cop
per indications.
The Inyo Mines syndicate is about to
begin active operations on the Red Rose
group, where very high grade values
have already been found. Some dan
gerous distractions are being cut out
of the canyon road, which when COM
pleted will make safe and convenient

FIFTY FEET OF ORE
IN GREENWATER MINE

A letter to the Salt Lake Tribune from
Greenwater says: The crosscut on the
400 level of Queen No. of the Green
water Copper Mines and Smelter COM
pany exposes fifty feet of copper ore
mineral of the concentrating order, de-
veloped under the direction OF Jerry
Rourke, the manager, of the company
while drifting on that level toward
Queen No. 2. The ore encountered is a
high grade copper with a blending OF
the cuprite with copper glance, used
with mixture of enargite and the
favorable pyrite.
The showing or demonstration at this
point is so clear, as against the silicious
oxides closer to the surface, as to send
thrill of qualification through all the
experienced copper men OF the Green
water camp, for this appearance OF
base of sulphide ores signifies the per-
manency of Greenwater as the great
copper camp prophesied by its ardent
advocates in the beginning.
