Representative Barchield, ofPenn-

Unable something referred to out OF
compliment to Senator Knox as the
Knox boom, has been in New York
recently and returns to Washington
with the announcement that "Some
of the gang who don't vote are veil
ing tor Hughes, but find that all
the boys who will do the voting are
lining up for old man Cannon, Of
Illinois," Evidently Mr.. Barchfeld
has some little bAls up his sleeve
which he hopes the speaker will al
low to go through at this session of
congress.
incidentally, Mr.. Barchfeld at.
teinpts to quote the President as for
Knox, Somewhat silly attemp, in
view of the energetic manner in
which Mr.. Roosevelt is working to
secure the nomination of Mr.. Taft.
The hardest blow the incipIent Can.
non boom has received was deliv
cred by Representative Townsend,
OF Michigan, who has been an
ardent Cannon man IN Washington,
but who, on gong home and finding
the way the wind was blowing IN his
district, came out in a strong inter
view announcing hat he was for
Taft.

HON on ReguIar Correspondent.

From Oar Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. D.
In his Boston speech Secretary Taft
very clearly defined the difference
between himself and Mr.. BRYAN.
Mr.. Tsf, emphatically advocated
government control of railroads as
the one antidote for government
ownership which Mr.. Bryan regards
as the only satisfactory ultimate so.
luton of the railroad problem. MI.
Taft has frankly committed himself
on every public question. Mr.. Bryan
has made his views very clear, but
no one of the other candidates has
adopted this manly course.
Gov. Hughes is slated to make a
speech at the Union League Club in
Chicago aud his friends are hoping
ne will summon up sufficient courage
to declare himself on such subjects
as the trusts, the tariff, The railroads,
etc. The fact is that the governor
is trying to ride two horses going
in opposite directions. HIS entire
strength in New York rests on the
fact that his old friends and asso
GATES regard him as opposed to the
Roosevelt policies and his strength
outside of New York, in so far a.
he has any strength, rests on the be
lief that he is in sympathy with
those policies. Mr.. Hughes canno
see now TO commit himself without
FORGETTING his strength in one place
or the other.

People in.the east would like to
hear more from Gov. Johnson. of
Minnesota. The governor came TO
Washington recently and at a ban.
quet made a speech which excited
great admiration and enthusiasm,
and some of the people in this sec.
ton are wondering if the Democ
racy has not some finer presidential
timber in the Minnesota governor
than they have realized heretofore
The boom OF Judge Grey, of
Delaware, does not seem to take
hold on the Imagination of the PEG
pie. II is hard to say Why 1t does
not flourish, bu, il is probably due
to the general belief that Mr.. Bryan
has the call in the next national
convention. Whatever may be
thought Of Judge Grey's boom there
IS no doibt but that he commands
the respect and the regard OF the
people who know him beat.
The New Years reception at the
White House was an unusually bril-
liant function, despite the lowering
skies. The President, refreshed b.
his little rest at Pine Knot " mere
he iramped the hills and dales with
his two younger boys, seemed ex
cep:ionally happy and greeted the
brilliantly uniformed diplomats and
army officers and the sombefly
gowned judges Of the supreme court
each with some felicItous remark
and good wish. For several hours
the President stood 10 line and
shook hands with several thousand
people From nov on social Wash.

be silver bearing for the most part.
but recent discoveries on the Gun
decker and company holdings show a
fo%urteen-inch strong vein Of ship
ping ore, containing a gold streak OF
very high grade, going as high as
10000 to the ton.
There are some twenty leasers in
the camp, five Of whom are In high
grade. The greatest depth of any OF
the shafts does not exceed 100 feet.
The day I left the camp ore was
struck in the projected t5O0-foot
tunnel on the Gundecker holdings at
a distance of eighty feet from tine co,-
lar.
This tunnel will develop 500 feet
of backs at a distance of 1900 feet
and fortunately for the owners, II
can run on the vein all the way. a
peculiar condition is the fact that the
silver values are stronger at or near
the surface, that they diminish with
depth and that the gold values come
In stronger. The rich gold ledge dis
covered by s. X. Bradford and his as
sociates on their lease apexed in a
silver ledge at about forty feet from
the surface, the silver ledge being al
most perpendicular, whereas the gold
ledge ran of from 1t at an angle Of
about forty-fve.
THE high-grade gold streak has
a gangue of hard quartz, while the
vein itself is a soft brecciated por-
phyry. The walls are clean cut and
true, and 1t is my prediction that
when depth is gained a strong solid
vein will be encountered, bearing
startling values.
There is an abundance of water
in the camp, perennial springs being
found every 1000 feet or 30. Wood
for domestic purposes is also plenti-
full. Three miles from the camp
there is a trout stream. while sage
hens are numerous on the slope and
among the willows and tamarack. Al
the townsite there are now about 100
people, while scattered over the hills
are many ~prospectors.
while ! was in camp Bob Mont
gomery arrived with a party OF
friends and took an option on soma

NAIONAL MUST BE
GREAT DISTRICT
WILL RUSSELL EXHIBITS HIGH
GRADE ORE FROM NORTH
ERN CAMP.

Win C. Russell has just returned
from the new camp of National and
brings with him the most glowing re-
ports of its present showing and its
future possibilities.
Mr.. Russell exhibited some of the
high grade from the new Golconda,
which fairly glistens with gold and
silver, In fact, the specimen shown
the Bonanza was nearly half metal.
In speaking of the camp, Mr.. Russell
said:
National is a sure winner, and is
next in line for a big boom. | have
no Interior motive in saying this az
| do not W nor am / interested in
an inch of ground in the camp,
though should very much like to be.
"The district is located sev~entyzfve
miles north of WInnemucca, just on
the old Fort McDermitt stage road
and is within eight miles of the Ore
gon line. The first discovery was
made by Workman and Davis in June,
1907, but on account of the heavy
erosion and the depth of the winter
SHOWS effective prospecting was re-
tarded until this last spring. Rich
silver float was found in various
places, but the difficulty was to find
its source.
THE m~ineralized zone was found to
be about n and one-half miles by
tvo miles square. the strike of the
vein system being northerly and
southerly. Development proved the
average depth of the wash to be
about twenty feet, and 1t is only
within the past sixty days that real
determined prospecting has been 60
ing on
THE country rock of the district is
~andesite, rhyolite, diorite. diabase
and phonolite, the recent discoveries
having been made in the andesite fis-
sures, which is considered as a most
favorable condition.
ION the principal property of the
camp, which is under bond to Gun
cocker, Mcmillan and Halleran of

ZOE feet in width and in this MINER

Dispose of Their
Group of Claims in Nye
County to j. G. McCor-
mack Of Goldfield.
From Wednesdays Darly bonanza.

Through the Tonopah Banking corporation at a late hour, last
night was consummated one of the largest mining deals in ate
years in southern Nevada. The signing of a contract by the
Chfords to sell their we'll known property, fifty miles east of
here in Nye county, for $S5O,O0O to !. C. Mccormack of Gold
field was the business of a gathering of both parties to the agree
ment The bond calls for the payment of $500 at once, which
was received by the Cifords in the shape of a certified check on
the john ) Cook and company bank of Goldfeld and the remain
der to be paid in instalments of three months each.
The property is one of the best known in southern Nevada and
was discovered by the vendors. The engineers of MI. Mccormack
have been working on the property for some time and he is conf
dent that the property will be one of the big ones of the state, it
having blocked out already over a half million dollars worth of
ore.
The attorneys in the transaction were Pat Carney of GoldAdd
for Mccormack and p. NJ. Bowler of Tonopah for the CiHords
The property consists of thirteen claims adjoining, On which
there is a 100-foot shaft and a nnety-foot incline, together with
about 200 feet of tunnels. There are four distinct lodges opened
up and the width at the surface will average about two feet.
At the bottom of the shaft the exact width of the lodges has not
been determined, but they are known to be over thirty feet wide
and will assay over SIS a ton. Samples of oe o the dump gave
returns of over 5000 a ton, while picked samples taken by the
Mccormack engineers gave the startling returns of $4,000. The
values are in free milling gold and horn silver. The property was
located on October H. 1906, and has been worked ever since by
Edward Clifford and hts two sons. About five months ago thew
made a shipment to Salt Lake and the returns more than surprised
them.
is my belief that we have the best country in the state of Nevada.
The belt of porphyry in that section is very heavily mineraized
and predict that before two years the Clifford district will be
as well known in the mining world as Tonopah. The known min
eral zone extends from Typo to Silver Bow and we are just about
in the center of the territory. We will start development work on
a number of other claims owned by us and it is a safe prediction
that before long we will starde the world.
Mr.. Clifford and son, John Clifford, came in from the property
Monday evening and will return there in a day or so.
