Gold Circle comes again to the front
by a rich strike on the Elko Prince
group owned by Paul EhIers. The
Lucky Dutchman." Chas. Leonard and
Mr.. Tracey. While driving a tunnel to
cut the ledge at a depth of 100 feet they
encountered a body of picture rock
which will assay up into the thousands.
The successful owners are to be con-
graduated on this wonderful strike as
1t bears out the theory that the ledge
Is a high grade deposit as the owners
have always contended. 1t is not pos
sible to give the extent of the ore body
at present development but 1t promises
to be continuous.
w. d. McClelland is pushing work on
the Golden Fissure and has struck ship
ping ore at a depth of ten feet. Some
s~tringers in a h~ve-foot vein show the
yellow metal plainly. The Golden Fis-
sure is south and west of the Midas and
joins the latter on the south. Mr.. Nc
Clelland refused a substantial cash offer
for his property made by New York
people.
Reno parties prospecting through the
camp this week found a quantity of
grade rock on the Rex claim east
of the town of Gold Circle. that assayed
over $4,000 in gold. The Rex has long
been known as one OF the high grade
of the camp and the quartz is of
the same character as that on the Over
sight Fraction. the latter being the
property of Menk!ng & Schein who have
quartz that fairly glistens with gold.
The town Of Gold Circle. now known
as Midas by action of the p%ostofice de-
partment. presents a scene of great ac-
tivity in the building line. FOUR frame
buildings were completed during the
past week and as many more are in
course of construction. Geo. Storey Sc

At a depth of 20 feet a new ore SHOOT

and at the present time ten feet OF ore
has been cut through, with no 1oot wall

from $40 to $50 a ton. The average OF

is a ledge known to be at least ten ieet

The new shoot of ore is considerably
larger thar the one struck previously
and apparently runs parallel to 1t. Com

What promises to be the greatest
strike in the history of the camp was
made in the early part of the present
week on what is known as the Poppy
group, which is situated about two miles
to the west of the camp. A ledge about
two feet wide has been uncovered.
Fully half this ledge, ten or twelve in
ches, returned an assay Of $l,56S TO the
ton while the remainder of the ledge
went 1851.
The find has created great excitement
in camp as the locality in which 1t was
made has not yielded any results up to
the present. The group is owned by
Walter Wright, S. w. Cline and j.

first instant.

Graham q Golden Lease

Mat Graham. the well known mining
man from Goldfeld, closed a deal last
Monday for a lease on the Piute, north
of the Todhunter lease. Associated with
Mr.. Graham is Frank Golden, president
of the Nye & Oimsby County bank.
Graham was among the lucky ones who
made a pile leasing in the northern
camp. and believing that Hart will rival
Nevada's big producer in richness, he
was not slow in grasping the opportun-
ity of getting ground. Active work VIII

FRIEND OF c. o. JONES.
Selfridge Worked at Hammondsport
With Man Killed at WaterviIle,

Hammondsport, N Y, Sept. IT,
Lieutenant Selfridge of the United
State Signal Corps had been deeply in
terested in the problef of air flight
since Professor Alexander Graham
Bell began his experiments here sew
eral years ago. He was stationed last
year at the aerial experiment station
at Hammondsport and witnessed all
the important flights made under the
direction of Professor Bell.
Lieutenant Selfridge was a warm
personal friend Of Charles Oliver Jones,
who fell to death before his wife and
child from his airship the Boomerang,
in Maine, several weeks ago. His ad-
vice had been of great help in the per-
fecting of the Boomerang and he sup
ervised the flights of the June Bug,
which established several records for
short flights at Hammondsport last
May. He was to have been stationed
at the experiment station in Nova
Scotia this fall. When Orville Wright
announced his intention of making
trial flights at Fort Myer, Lieutenant
Selfridge was sent to Fort Myer, where
his expert knowledge of aeronautics
could be of best service to the govern
ment.

HOW IT HAPPENED.
Mechanical Expert Describes Accident
As He Saw II.

| Washington, Sept. 11.-CharleS White
of White & Middleton, a mechanical ex-
pert, gave this description of the ac-
cident to Messrs. Wright and Selfridge:
II witnessed the flying Of the aero
plane and it was performing beautifully
for six or seven minutes, when sud-
denly one of the prcpellers broke near
the end. This caused the machine to
become so thoroughly out of balance
through centrifugal force, as to make
it unmanageable and it made dart to
the ground while still under operation
of the right propeller, causing it to
strike the ground with a great deal
more force than it would have done by
gravity. l 90 not feel that this is any
serious defect in the machine, but
merely want of better construction in
the propcllers. Therefore, I do NOT feel
that the machine should be condemned
| beyond this point. l should imagine
that when the machine made the dart
for the ground it fell at the rate OF 20
miles an hour I saw the piece that few
from the propeller fall to the earth.
Before the flight of the machine ex-
amined it thoroughly and saw nothing
to he criticized outside of the wood
construction of the propellers. Before
the machine made the flight remarked
that the wood propellers We're not of
the proper construction. Three seconds
after the accident happened. the big
machine appeared like bird with a
broken wing. The forward side of the
machine struck the ground first.
Wright and Selfridge We're in their
usual position on the seats when they
landed. They were not thrown out All
the mechanical devices remained in
tact though the braces and canvas
work was wrecked. The accident was
due entirely to the defective propeller.
The aeroplane was under perfect con-
troll and the accident was certainly not
due to any fault of operation"
