To the average mind the copper camp
Of Ely appeals as a great producing
proposition from which is rolling blister
copper, and not as a section in which
new ore results are being registered day
to day as in the ordinary mining camp.
But Ely is not altogether a steam
shovel proposition yet, as readily can
be seen by the good news brought to
Salt Lake the other day by ID. C. Me
Donald, general manager of the Me-
Donald Ely and other organizations in
the White Pine county district.
Mi. Mcdonald stated hat on the Bos-
ton Ely possessions of late there have
been some magnificent developments
that promise to make this a typical big
Ely producer. The management has
been at work diligently for a long
while, and little if anything has been
allowed to leak from those in charge
relative to ore disclosures. At a depth
Of $50 feet this company has broken

an unknown quantity, the drift having

ant finds of the camp. 1t is the opinion
of Salt Laters who know the Ely camp.

STEAM HOIST INSTALLED
AT BIG cHAFEY BONANZA

The first whistle to awaken the echoes
of Monroe gulch greeted the ears of its
inhabitants yesterday morning, an
nouncing the fact that the big 40-horse
power hoist was ready to lift the treas
ures lying on the lower levels of the
now famous Black Hole mine, and the
work of sinking tn enew shaft will be
pushed from this time ON with great
rapidity, says the Chafey News.
1t is the intention of the management
to sink to the 150-foot level, where a
station will be cut and levels started in
both directions on the ledge. The new
hoist will use as fuel crude oil instead
of coal and will run a self dumping skip
of one ton capacity. The S0-horse
power boiler will not. only, furnish steam
for the hoist, but will run a belt-drivcn
air compressor for the mine. Two air
drills will be used in advancing the
main drift and in stopping. The shaft
at present will be sunk by hand drill.
The main drift on the ledge to the
north continues in ore. This shoot is
now 40 feet long without a single
break, making a tremendous body to be
yet removed. Excellent values have
been encountered lately, the assays for
the past four days clear across the
ledge average better than $3.50 per ton,
making this mine a world-beater.
The work of Mr.. Castle, foreman of
the mill. is highly praised by the Of
fcers Of the company. The difficulties
under which he has labored are well
kI own by the management, making his
success the more marked. Mr.. Castle
has gained results which could only
have been obtained by the most diligent
work and care, and his long experience
in mill matters have stood him well ON
this occasion. There are few men in
the business who could have saved all
the values from such an old mill.

WILKINSON GOES TO DAISY

Official confirmation vas given this

duties. In addition to ore extraction
and development work or the two upper

COOL WEATHER BRINGS
ACTIVITY TO SEARCHLIGH1

1t is reliably reported that the Quar-
tette mine has cut it's ore body on the
/ ,000-foot level, east of the main shaft
The various sources of information
agree as to particulars except as to
values these ranging from $50 to 500,
says the Bulletin.
The first reports current on the
streets were to the effect that ore had
been encountered in the shaft, but those
familiar with conditions at the Quar-
tette knew this to be improbable. Not
only is the shaft sunk well into the foot
wall, but it requires extensive drifting
eastward to pick up the ore. The pitch
of the main shaft is to the southwest,
while the pay shoot makes to the east,
consequently on each succeeding level
the intervening distance between the
shaft and the ore becomes greater.
In explanation of the report that the
ore had been found in a crosscut it can
be stated that owing to the soft forma-
ton of the vein the connecting drift is
run out in the foot wall, where the
ground is solid, until opposite the ore
shoot, when the same is prosecuted.
At the present writing the crosscut
has penetrated the ore some six feet
with no sign of the hanging.

Gold Road
Last week, on the 700 level of the
Billy Bryan mine, of the Gold Road
group, four feet of ore was broken into
by the night shift that carries wonder
full values. The entire mass runs over
$500 gold to the ton, while small streaks
gave assay returns of $4,000. The
shaft was sunk outside of the vein
which was struck a few feet below the
shots in the vein, ever the walls show
ing high naturalization.
Parallel
Superintendent T. D.. Forney has
started drifting east from the bottom
of the new shaft ON the Parallel. This
work is at a depth of 70 feet and the
fact shows some 80 inches of ore that
will run from $12 to SIS a ton.
Recent developments or this property
have causa1 q marked demand for IT'S
stock. Last Monday there were $4,000
shares changed hands on the Los An
geles exchanges at as high as six cents
a share.

Since George Wingfeld has been in
Reno he has been subjected to great an
noyance through the forging of his
name by at least two residents of the
Riverside town. One of the utterers of
false paper got away with a consider
able amount before he was appre-
hended. Another attempted to work a
local restaurant keeper with a fifty
dollar bad check, which was not oashed,

BERKELEY, April 2o.-Marooned for
Ia hours on the mudfats in upper
Suisun bay yesterday afternoon and last
night four residents of Berkeley and
Oakland were forced to undergo pri-
vations of hunger and exposure in an
open boat, while their friends frantic
ally searched for them. Miss Amy
Gardner of 2213 Bancroft way; Melvin
Newfield, a chemist, and H. w. Davis,
an electrical engineer, reached this city
from Benicia today, while Miss Amy
Peyton, an Oakland girl, returned by
train to her home in that city.
The party left Benicia yesterday for
a yacht cruise in the straits of Car

bay. but while venturing in the marshy
lands were caught in the mud and their
tiny craft glued fast. Despite any eff
forts to float 1t the yacht became more
deeply embedded. The slight breeze
developed into a small gale, and,
drenched by the heavy waves which
broke over the yacht, the party were
subjected to the coldness of the night.
which was heightened by the boat
springing leak and forcing the trio to
stand in the cabin half full of water.
No provisions were on board and the
party faced hunger until the shouts of
Davis and Newfield brought fishermen
to their aid. The Italians towed the
craft to Benicia, where the party took
train to their homes in this city and
Oakland.

of delay a jury was secured here today
before Superior Judge Thomas ]. Len
non, who is to preside in the libel suit
instituted by former Police Commits
sioner Thomas Reagan OF San Francisco
against the San Francisco news COM
pany in connection with an article pub
lished in McClures magazine and writ
ten by George Kennan in 1907.
Although nothing was done by either
side beyond the necessary preliminary
cross examination of the jury the in
terrogation were so worded as to
leave no doubt that the case would de-
velop much of interest.
Attorneys Mastick and Partridge, who
represent the San Francisco news COM
pany, said that every charge and allie
cation made by Kennan in the article
inA question would be fully substan-
tiated and that, as a matter of fact,
the truth of the charges had already
been proved. The news company, ire
spective of its position as distributor
of McClure's magazine, had no hesi-
fancy. he said. in assuming the respon-
sibility for the article.
Reagan is represented by the law firm
of Galpin, Elkins & May. The actual
trial will be begun at 10 o'clock tomor-

RICH STRIKE OF GOLD
MADE IN RAWHIDE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

RAWHIDE, New, April 2o.--At a
depth of so feet in the Luning lease
in Grutt hill this afternoon a blind
ledge was uncovered measuring two
feet in width, eight inches of which
was practically alive with free gold.
In places the gold occurred in thin
leaves, practically plastering the rock.
1t ran into the thousands and was be-
lieved to be the apex of an immense
ledge which would widen out with
depth and make the Luning one of
the richest properties in the Rawhide
district.
The find was made practically in the
heart of the town. Business houses
and gambling places are within sight
of the place and the news of the find
spread rapidly. In a short time the
hillside was covered With excited
mining men and others all anxious
to get a glimpse of the rich rock
being hauled to the surface It is by
far one of the biggest strikes made in
the camp.
The property was recently purchased
by c. L. Hansen and associates of
Cobalt, who arrived at Rawhide a few
weeks ago for the purpose of making
an examination and with instructions
to invest if in his opinion the condi-
ton of the district warranted the be-
lief that It was mineral producer
So pleased was Hansen at the out
set that he purchased the Gray Eagle
fraction. His latest deal was consum-
mated when he purchased the Luning
lease, which is located on the Coali-
tion property.
The shipment Of ore from the Camp
started in earnest this week. The long
string of empty wagons heretofore
seen heading from the camp are now
going out to the railroad loaded with
ore. This condition. it is believed.
will prevail from now until the new
railroad is completed
