In Tears Defends Grant.

Centralia, ILL.,, Sept. ia noval
incident took place at the Bryan
Kern-Stevenson Club meeting here
last night. Captain R. D. Peyton, a
veteran of Grants army, joined the
club, giving as he did so his reasons
for bolting the g. o. p. Among 9th
er things, he said that Mr., Taft
had beSmirched the honored name
of General Grant in his reference to
him as a drunkard, and that he
would vote against him for that
reason, if for none other,
This brought Doctor Ditzler, a
Confederate soldier, to his feet.
With tears streaming down his
cheeks, this veteran of the Civil
war paid the following tribute to
the memory General Grant: Boys
l was with General Lee when he
surrendered his army at Appomat-
toX court house. saw General
Grant God bless him-turn Lees
sword and hand it back. | heard
him issue orders to clothe and feed
us. | saw our boys ride away on
the horses he insisted we should
keep, know his heart was bleed
ing for us all. | rise in protest
against this charge of drunkenness.
1t is wrong 1t is too late for this
upStart, Taft, to blight with whisk-
ey the bowers of love and trust
that for so many recurring summers
have bloSSomed on the grave of our
-illustrious dead" The two veterans
were given a tremendous ovation.
What has Roosevelt done? We'll
there are several things, For in,
stance he has given the country the
only panic in time of prosperity in
the history of the nations; he has
created $4,000 new offices whose oc.
cupants draw $70.Oo00O0 per yea
from the public crib; he has sem
fleet on grandstand tour around
the world; he has given his country
a couple of billion dollar congresse;
and he called most everybody b,

Seven TrOughs Royal
Has Bright Future

: One of the properties in the
Seven Troughs district that is being
Systematically developed is the
Seven Troughs Royal, adjoining Far
rell.
Under the able management of R.
H. Young a showing is being made
that already gives promise of making
it one of the good properties of the
district. Mr.. Young is pushing a
system Of prospecting and develop
ment that has already shown several
veins and lodges that are very prom
ising, and those who are familiar
with the showlngs made and COM
petent to judge of the conditions
that prevail on this promising group,
predict that the Seven Troughs
Royal will surely make mine.

will Sink Shaft

Parties recently in from the Jessup
mining district repor that Samuel
Kroughan and Joe Mackedon, owners
of the Mammoth claim near White
Canyon. had uncovered very prom
ising ledge in a trench. No assays
have been had as yet but from the
paintings it is estimated that the
values will run well into the hundreds
of dollars. Messrs. Kroughan and
Mackedon have announced that they
will commence work at once on a
shaft which will be sunk to a great
depth.

When asked as to the future policy
of development of the new acquisi-
tion. Mr.. Cobb stated that nothing
definite had been decided upon as yet.
Numerous applications have been re-
ceived from good substantial mining
men for leases. These are being
considered and it is likely limited
number will be granted. If the pol
icy is pursued it will mean great
deal for the new district, as it has
been proven in other districts of
merit throughout the state that the
leasing system tends to open up the
mines in the shortest time.
Another important deal. and one
which shows the growing faith in the
new district, was consummated last
week when Frank H. Bird secured an
option on the Lucky Shot claim. The
deal calls for $4,000 and $4,000
shares of stock and the first payment
falls due on the 25th of this month.
The option was given by j. W. Pear
son, M. A. Macfarlane and H. W.
Cherry. The Lucky Shot lies just
west of the town of White Canyon
and is a very close neighbor to the
famous Jessup-Murray group on
which the original strike was made.
Several prominent lodges outcrop at
the surface and show the entire dis.
tance of the claim. Work has been
started under Mr.. Birds direction
and some sensational developments
are looked for in very short time.
The strike on the Dispatch claim is
within Is feet Of the endline of the
Lucky Shot.
Parties recently in from Jessnp
state that the recent strike on the
Dispatch Fraction, owned by Joe
Nenzel and associates, was getting
bigger with each days work. The
shaft is now about IA feet deep and
large amount of quartz is showing
in the bottom of the shaft. Samples
taken from the new find yield very
handsomely in the yellow metal. Sew
eral strong stringers have been cut
which show paintings close to the
5000 mark. Mr. Nenzel expects to
evelop his property on large
scale and will put on force of men
the early part of the coming week.

Unanimous In Supper

department of the interior of bu-
reau of mines and mining was unani-

by the house committee on mines and
mining 1t is understood that with
in week or two the subcommittee
to which has been referred several
bills to- establish such a bureau, will
draft bill to accomplish that pur-
pose and report if favorable to ths
general committee. The committe
was addressed on the subject by for
mer United States Senator William
Stewart, of Nevada, who favored the
creation of such bureau in the in
terror department, rather than in the
department of commerce and labor,
because of its natural connection
with the geological survey.

Arbor Day Proclamation

In accordance with law, |, John
Sparks, Governor of the State of Ne
vada, do hereby designate Friday,
April II, 1908, as Arbor Day, and do
proclaim that said day shall be OBJ
served as holiday by the public
schools of this state; provided, that
nothing herein shall be construed as
making this a legal holiday so far as
the courts and civil contracts are
concerned" and do most earnestly
recommend the day be observed by
the people of the state in planting of
trees, shrubs and vines, in the pro-
motion of the forest growth and cul-
ture, in the adornment of public and
grounds, places and ways, and in such
other efforts and undertakings as
shall be in harmony with the charac-
ter of the day so established"
The above statement of law should
be sufficient to convince all persons,
who feel personal interest in the
future welfare of our commonwealth,
to respond to the sentiments, not
selfishly. but for the public good. 1t
is within the memory of all early set
tiers that our mountains were COW
cred with magnificent forest and
woodland trees, but the woodman's
ak vigorously applied soon left a bald,
barren waste. A feeble attempt was
made by legislative enactment to pre-
serve the second growth, but not un-
til the Federal Government assumed
and established National Forest Re-
serves, and adopted the policy of con-
servation and distribution of water
for irrigation purposes, did real pro-
gress begin with hopeful results
Hereafter, every water-course, ditch
and rivulet should be fringed with
trees, Every home should be ad-
orned with trees, shrubs and vines;
grass made to grow and flowers to
bloom. Thousands of new homes are
being established, and contentment,
comfort and happiness will prevail.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the state of Nevada, at the
capitol, in Carson City, this 18th day
of March, A. d. 1908.

fered many pieces of the gittering
rock. Although there may be a
temptation to steal rock which is liter
ally covered with gold. yet visitors
should remember that "The Star"
Office is not the Mohawk mine of
Goldfeld and that the ores in our
show window are only for exhibition
purposes to advertise the mineral re-
sources of Humboldt county. Many
rich specimens are coming in and the
management is.only too willing to ex-
hibit them, but if people persist IN
taking samples away the handling of
the precious stuff will have to be pro-
hibited. Star.

some promising claims in the JessuE
district, was Lovelock visitor Wed.
nesday of this week. Mr.. Ratlifi
was in town for the purpose of pur.
chasing a windlass, buckets and other
supplies which will be taken to the
new camp and used for the purpose
of sinking shaft on the Ida claim,
the property of the above named
gentlemen. In doing the location
work on the Ida claim very strong
ledge was encountered from which
good assays were obtained, and the
owners have decided to sink a 50-foot
shaft at once. As soon as the sup
plies can be gotten on the ground
work will be started and nothing will
be left undone to open up the prop
erty in the shortest time possible.

MAKE FIRST PAYMENT
ON HOPKINS PROPERTY
Wealthy New Yorker Lands Prize Claims and

Bonded to Frank Bird and Associates

Notwithstanding the fact that the
first payment on the Hopkins prop
erty in the Jessup district does not
become due until the 9th day of this
month"; was officially given out that
the payment, $500, was made on
Wednesday of this week. Charles
L. Cobb, wealthy mining man from
New York, and associates are the
buyers.
A Tribune representative recently
visited the camp and was accorded
an interview with Mr.. Cobb. He
stated that decision had been
reached and that the property would
be taken over as stated above. He
said:
"Our engineers, who recently CON-
pleted an examination of the ground,
have turned in their reports, and that
they were satisfactory can only be
judged by our action in closing the
deal at once. We have shipping ore
in quantities in two different places,
and it will be our policy to arrange
for development at the earliest posi-
Bile moment"
Mr.. Cobb would not give his en-
gineers report in full at this time.
He stated however. that the assays
taken from the bottom of an l8-foot
shaft gave a return of l06. The
samples were cold. blooded and were
from a 4-foot vein of quartz. In an
other shaft about $50 feet to the
northeast which has been sunk to a
depth of II feet, high grade ore has
been encountered. The high grade
streak only measures Is inches at
the present depth hut shows every
indication of widening as work pro-
crosses. An average sample from
this point gave returns of $l69.
Picked specimens, however, taken
from the same lead, carries gold to
tune of several thousand dollars to
the ton. A number of prominent
mining engineers who have recently
visited the new district and who have
examined the property, pronounce II
one of the greatest showings in Ne
vada, and that it will develop into

bees. Mr.. Tyler will return the bees
some time next month.
