Miners from the head of Tule cam
yon, thirty-four miles southeast OF
Goldheld, yesterday brought news OF
an important strike on the Swedes
claim. A strike was made on the
same claim two months ago, which
assayed $2fS. The paintings from
the latter strike indicate that it will
assay as much, and perhaps more.
The vein, which is free milling,
can be traced for half a mile. 1t is
stated that there is no place twelve
feet square on the claim that will not
nan. There is a network of stringers
on tho vein.
The high values recently secured
were obtained at the grass roots, al
OF the ore having been taken out at
depth OF not more than two feet. 4
bond upon the property has been Sc
cured by A. Long and I. NJ. Martin.
There are several other claims II
the Upper Tule canyon which Civ
promise Of good returns. Shipaway
three miles from the Swedes claim
has several sacks OF high grade o
the dump, as has also Mr.. Rankin
whose claim is in the same vicinity

Henry Krumb, the mining engineer
who has been making an examina-

will leave this morning for Salt Lake.
He has his headquarters in that city

Krumb that this will occupy a space
of ten days. The meeting of the

set for August IS, but owing to the
illness of Mr.. Krumb, he was unable
to finish his work on that date and
the meeting was postponed until sucl

complete it. Mr.. Krumb with becom

relative to his work in connection
with the Tonopah Extension property
but said: "The camp of Tonopah

SHELTER SHIPMENT
TO BE RESUMED

With the resumption of work by
the Tecopa Consolidated, the new
town of Tecopa has taken on consid-
cradle life, and the wiseacres proph-
ecy that nothing can stop the build
ing of a fair size town at that place.
The Tecopa company, operating
the MONDAY and Gunsight mines, is
employing more than forty men con.
stantly and everything is moving
along smoothly with big things in
store for the future. The two ten
drill compressors have been installed,
and with this improved method of
breaking ground, excellent progress
is being made in extending the de-
velopments in the mine.
In the MONDAY, machine drills are
used in four drifts and n raise, and
in the Gunsigh in two drifts and n
raise. On the 200-foot level in the
MONDAY, the drifts have been ex-
tended about $50 feet, 4S0 feet south
and $50 feet north, all in the ore. On
the 3O0-foot level. the drifts are out
1875 feet each way, all in ore.
The vein in the MONDAY is from
ten to sixteen feet in width. On the
footwall. the carbonate ore, carrying
lead and iron, is from two to four
feet in width, and goes about t6 per
cent lead, while the concentrating ore
averages from s to IL per cent lead
with a width from eight to twelve
feet. The ore carries about one-half
ounce Of silver TO one per cent OF
I lead, and about $50 a ton in gold,

STRIKE IN
VIRGIN
TERRITORY

That a big strike has been made on
the Elks Consolidated lease on the
Yellow Tiger, is the general belief,
but no absolute confirmation of the
discovery can be secured. Miners
working on the ground are keeping
very quiet, but a significant confir-
nation is that the miners working on
the property have been buying Yellow
Tiger, and they ought to know what
they are doing. All the miners will
say is that the showing in the west
crosscut at the 600-foot level is good,
and that they believe that ore will be
found, and plenty of 1t, in the quartz
dyke that has now been crosscut for
a distance of sixty feet, and the foot
will be reached before drifting is
started. The dyke has a pitch to the
northeast.
Nose Starne, manager of the prop
erty, was not inclined to talk about
it, and would neither deny or confirm
tire discovery.
Ever since the dyke was entered"
he said, I'VE have been getting good
values, and the farther we go the bet
ter are the Indications, and in the
last ten feet seams of pay rock vary
ing from an inch to six inches are in

assays on the ore could be secured

culiar feature of the ore is that 1t
: carries native copper in small quanti-
ties. l am convinced in my own
mind that a mine will be opened up,

Thurmond for Prohibition.

q US"VAa 40G s iSAA W taOos
In his argument against the Especial
box" resolution before the county
Democrotic executive committee on
Saturday Hon. J. William Thurmond
took a strong and manly stand for
prohibition in our town and county.
Ae stated that he was an ardent ad-
vocate of the dispensary and believes
now that it accomplished much good
in closing up the barrooms through
out the State, but since prohibition
has been tried everyone is compelled
to admit that conditions have i'm
proved tremendously. Mr.. Thurmond
stated that in his Judgment not one
twenty fifth as much whiskey is sold
now as was sold before prohibition
went into effect.
He stated further that farmer
who resides some twelve miles above
Edgefeld recently told him Of the
very marked improvement in the con-
ditions upon his farm since the legal
sale of liquor was abolished. Whereas
formerly when his tenants came to
Edgefeld and purchased a supply of
liquor from the dispensary he could
scarcely manage them, while now
they give him no trouble.-Edgefeld
