GRAND NnIley LncI,v.

Manager Moore stated to The SEN
tinel this moaning that he had been
very lucky this season with the mar
kets, as the shipments of pears by
his association came in just about
the time the California pears were
out of market. and were practically
over before the fruit sections of the
northwest began shipping their crop.
However, the crop from the north
west was on the different markets
about week before the Grand Val
ley shipments were through and this
accounts for the lower prices Oh the
returns in the last average OF prices
made and paid today on the 23 cars.

The Last Report.

The Last Report.
Today the Grand Junction Fruit
Growers association is making the
third and last report on shipments of
Bartlett pears, with some Flemish
Beauty pears included. handled by
the association this season. On Au-
gust IA the association paid to its
growers $4,000 on 35 cars of these
varieties. Again on September 81, 1t
paid to the growers $60.199.20 for
IS cars. The figures and details
regarding these payments to the
growers being published by The Sem
tinel at the time. Today the grow
ers are being paid total of $26.-
057.95 for the last 23 cars shipped
up to August 25. the date on which
the Bartlett pear season was sup
posed to have closed In the valley.
These 23 cars netted the growers an
average of about 81 ,140 per car.
While the prices received for the
fruit in these 23 cars were lot quite
so high as those received on the
previous shipments. still they are
splendid prices, better than the
prices received for pears during any
season previous to the present one.

II Is generally conceded here that

pany, which contract purported to re-
scind the previous contract, and re-
cited that it was made in view of the
fact that the previous contract had
been unsatisfactory to all parties
concerned.
This second contract provides for
the payment for water at 500 per
acre; 1t acknowledges receipt of the
payment of $3.50 at the time of sign
ing, and makes the condition of the
payment of the balance due at the
time of the issuance of the final re-
ceiver's receipt.
The attorneys for the contestants
are very jubilaLt over the condition
of the cases at this time, and declare
that the contestants have a cinch.
They contend that the making of the
last contract is a mere subterfuge,
and was entered into for the purpose
of curing the Objectionable features
in the first contract. They say that
even If this second contract is ad-
mitted in evidence that it is an ac-
acknowledgement of the Objectionable
features liz the first contract, and an
acknowledgment that the contests,
which were filed some thirty days
ago. are meritorious, and that the
Redlands company, as well as the
contestees, have recognized this fact
by attempting to make a new con-
tract after the contests were filed.
The attorneys further claim that
no contracts made between the Red
lands company and the contestees
after the filing of the contests can
be legally admitted, and even If ad-
mitted will Lot be considered by the
department of the interior.

IT may have been centuries and CEN
turtles ago when the earth was IN a
stage of eruption, throwing It's eruptive
material for miles around a volcanic
disturbance. In this immediate district
there is no more evidence of the tre-
mendou forces which exerted themsel-

the vicinity of Silver Peak. There are
indications that Mother Earth was In

self away from the internal disturb
ances which undoubtedly shook this
planet from center to circumference and
which in it's upheavals created gold and
silver and copper seams which later re-
bounded to the benefit of mankind in
general.
In the Silver Peak district analogous
differences may be deducted, but the
neurological fact remains that after
the seismic disturbances had subsidized
there was a great area of territory
which had been left i~mpregnated with
that which mankind, from the earliest
days of mans s~ojourn on earth, was In
quest of-gold.
For years the hardy prospector has
been endeavoring to find the vein which
carried the glittering material. but 1T
has not been until recently that sue
cess has crowned their efforts. Last
April a few prospectors found the vein
which carried the precious metal. and
they at once carried the glad tidings
to the men who employed them.
Examinations were at once made by
the men who have been the foremost
Of the fore in the deserts of Southern
Nevada, and they at once satisfied them
selves of the value of the proposition.
Experts were sent into the field and
the result was that a new district was
opened and what promises to become
another Goldfeld was made known. in
a quiet way, to the world.
This new district has become known
as the Stimler district, and there is a

in the section. there must surely be
something doing above the ordinary.
The examinations made by these gen.
tlemen rave satisfied them that there
is a world of treasure laying hidde
under a few feet of earth awaiting the
energy of man to extract it and send
it to the mint.
Hence 1T seems beyond the peradven-
ture of a doubt that the new Stimler
district will in a very short time become
a busy shipping point for high grade
gold ores. the nucleus of which has been
discovered on the Stimler shaft on the
Reno claim, and on which every avail
able foot has been secured by leasers
who have already begun work with large
forces of men.
At a meeting of the miners last week
there were thirty-two present and they
unanimously named the new district
as the Stimler. They also selected Fred
c. Ninnis as the recorder. There was
unbounded confidence expressed by the
horny and boys in the future of the
camp and they swore- their allegiance
in true miners parlance.
At present there are about fifty men
working in the immediate vicinity. there

A. j. KOERNER TALKS OF
THE BUCKSKIN DISTRICT

A. J. Koerner, of the Goodale-Koerner
Engineering company of Buckskin was
in Goldfeld this week and talked en-
Enthusiastically of the situation both pres
ent and prospective, Of this promising
gold and copper camp.
Buckskin and Y%erington are contigu-
Gus camps. Mr.. Koerner says the miners
strike at Yerington is not serious, al
though the Ludwig and the Douglass
have shut down temporarily, in conse-
quence. These properties have an enor-
nous tonnage blocked out. The richest
kinds OF sulphides have been encoun-
tered in large bodies on the 500-foot
level. which Is a recent development.
The electric power line which was built
for these properties, especially. and for
the Blue Stone to the southeast. runs
only a mile and a half from Buckskin.
giving that camp abundant power at rea-
sonable cost.
Mr.. Koerner with his partner, Mr..
Goodale. is connected with the first prop
erty to ship ore on the east side of the
Buckskin district. The ore was from
the Union Blue. which shipped to Salt
Lake and got returns of IA per cent. net
ting the company above all charges
something like $50 per ton. This ore
was taken from the face of a tunnel in
only 20 feet. The Union Blue will soon
start a vertical working shaft. This
property lies contiguous to the well
known Jack Bell property md the Hon.
est Endeavor. another OF the Goodale and
Koerner properties. On this latter there
is a shaft over so feet, with a 15-horse
power hoist and other machinery and
full equipment for deep working. This
company has outlined an elaborate
scheme of development. and the property
is i~ntelligently handled. Both Goodale
and Koerner. in charge. are Colorado
School Of Mines men. The Jack Bell
company is also getting affairs in shape
to begin operations on their east side
ground, their operations to this time be-
ing confined chiefly to their lease on the
Kennedy Consolidated.
The Kennedy Consolidated has been
visited by some of the best known min
irg men of the country. lately, among
whom were Messrs. Gum and Ora
Woods. the former of the Amalgamated.
1t seems as If another sale of this prop
erty is imminent, as an option has been
given to Philadelphia capitalists. A
