GRAETZ BROTHERS
MAKE RICH STRIKE
sO-FOOT LEDGE ENCOUN-
TERED AT ROCK HILL
Relocate the Old "Drumlummon"
Claim. which Went by Default
on the 18th Instant


O. c. Graetz came in from Rock Hill
last evening on No. 3 for supplies and
powder to work the new prospect
which he and his associates, A. E.
Graetz and w. G. Wilson, struck on the
18th. In speaking Of his strike to a
representative of the Silver State
News, Mr.. Graetz had the following to
say:
my brother and / went over TO
Rock Hill about two weeks ago to
work on the properties of A. M. Will
liams in that locality. On the 18th
we noticed w. c. Wilson panning some
very rich rock, and upon inquiry found
that he had relocated the Drumlummon
claim, the original location having de-
faulted at 12 O'Clock the night pre-
vious. We Immediately went over and
posted notices on the two adjoining
claims. Upon investigation it was dis
covered that Wilson had located across
the vein, and in consequence had but
800 feet on the ledge, while we had
1900 feet each. However, his 600 feet
was very rich. so we Immediately form
ed a partnership. We have struck
30-foot ledge, rich in gold, which we
have traced for mile, which will pro-
duce shipping ore from the grass roots
We have crosscut the vein in several
places, and find the same results in
each place. The ledge shows up won
derfully rich, and the samples /
brought with me cannot be distinguish
ed from the ore taken from the famous
Black Hole on the Chafey lease

RESULT Of MILLS
FIRST CLEANUP

E. 9. Chafey arrived in Winnemucca
from Camp Chafey, in an auto, late
Thursday night, bringing the first
cleanup from the old but lately re
juvenated Dun Glen stamp mill 1t was
the product of the first l00-ton run,
representing 35 tons from the Golden
Bellies, worth from 90 to $40 per ton.
that had been left in the mill hv n
former operator named Kent; As tons
of ow-grade from the Black Hole. and
about 80 tons from the Bishop lease.
II all produced IL pounds of gold. al
most $1S fine, and two tons of concen-
trates, worth $137 per ton-a total of
about $500. Much other gold was
left in the plates. The operation Of the
mill has further proven to have been
exceedingly successful through the
saving Of all values except from 30
cents to $1.25 found in the tailings.
The gold deposits of this. part of
Humboldt county continue to demon
strate their phenomenal and prodig-
iously large yielding capacities. Camp
Chafey is therefore growing at a pa %
which suggests more and more the allie
cations made by innumerable visitors
that she will be the most consp;euom
and alluring district during the next
year for prospectors and capital.
Stages from Winnemucca and Mill
City are arriving twice daily with
loads of investigators who come pre-
pared for disappointment and with,
half day realize that the truth only
regarding these vast and rich resources
is represented in the stories Of their
greatness emanating from the hlu-
dreds Of people who are sending them
out

wealth that is making her, more rap
idly than any other camp ever here

TURNS FROM EAST

Mr.. and Mrs. J. J. Carroll returned
yesterday from an extended trip in the
east, having gone as far as Montreal.
In conversation with the Silver State
News Mr.. Carroll had the following to
say regarding conditions in the terri
tory visited:
Business in Canada is very good.
The most important news in railroad
circles there is that the Canadian Pa
cifc is laying double track from
Montreal to Toronto.
Crops all through the territory we
visited are looking fine. In eastern
Nebraska this years crops will be the
largest in the history of the country.
The great Lane cutoff, just west of
Omaha, which has been under course If
construction for the past year by Kill
patrick Brothers, is practically COM
pleted This is one of the largest i'm
provements undertaken by the Union
Pacific in recent years, and will not
only reduce the grade materially, but
will shorten the mileage to an appre-
ciable extent
"What is the political situation in
the east, Mr. Carroll?o
East of Chicago it is nothing but
Taft, but after leaving that city com
ing west you begin to hear Bryan s
name mentioned.

". P. GRADES COM.
PARE fAVORABLY

In recent issue the Salt Lake
Deseret News devotes page to a very
comprehensive account relating to the
construction of the Western Pacific.
In speaking of the advantages possess
ed by the new line in way of grades,
etc, the article states
Shippers throughout the country will
be interested in a railroad which is be-
ing built with every consideration in
advance of shipping needs and costs,
the maximum of operating efficiency,
and, logically, the greatest promise for
immediate returns to investors.
partial operation will begin very
shortly and within year the last
spike will have been driven on this
new road, the Western Pacific railway,
as noteworthy piece of railway con-
struction, in its way, as the first of
the greatest of western lines which
was completed nearly 40 years ago.
Like the pioneer line, it marks an era
in the development of American rail
roading. Somewhere in Nevada two
sections of track, which have been
driving steadily forward, one from the
east and the other from the west, will
meet, and one more through line will
have been drawn across the transpor-
tation map.
1.-THE new transcontinental road will
be the shortest, in time of travel, Of
all the routes to the Pacific. because it
will be the one with the moinimum of
grades, curves and other obstructions
to high speed and the economical oper-
atien. Although traversing from Salt
Lake City to San Francisco course
generally parallel to that of the Cen
trail Pacific, the new road has a maxi
mum gradient only one-half that of
the earlier constructed line, and crosses
the summit of the Sierras by pass
actually nearly 1000 feet lower than
the pass occupied by the Central Pa
cific.
"In fact, the Western Pacific grades
will compare favorably with those of
the best built eastern roads. That
transcontinental road could be built
with maximum grade of only l per
cent was proposition which, before
the putting through of the Western Pa
cific line, was regarded as absurd by
all except one man The one man was
Edward T. Jeffery, now president Of
the road, and since 1891 president of
the Denver & Rio Grande. He knew
that the | per cent route was possible,
and he kept the engineers at work un-
til they round it,
"The advantages in grade and re-
sultant economy of operation which
the Western Pacific enjoys in compar-
son with other western roads is strik-
ingly shown by the following table,
which gives the highest elevations
reached by the various lines, the max
imum grade for both eastbound and
westbound trains, and the total ascent
overcome. From this it will be seen
that the heaviest grade is only half
