TO GET THE GOLD
IN BARBER
CANYON

Arrangements for placer mining on
an extensive scale are now being made
for working the deposits in Barber
canyon about ten miles east Of Mill
City by Mr. A. M. Williams.
Lumber and other material have been
shipped from here for the construc-
tion of the bunk houses for the force
of men that will be engaged in the
work. Two Portland placer machines
have been ordered and will be taken to
Barber canyon to do the work.
"We will handle the ground in the
canyon from rim to rim,' states Mr..
Williams, who has behind him in the
proposition strong New York COM
pany. Gin some placer mining it has
been the custom to gouge out the
ground in spots, but our plans are to
treat all of the ground.
The value of the deposits in Barber
canyon as good placer ground has long
been known to mining men, and in
some places the qpantity of placer gold
to the square yard has been great
enough to warrant hand treatment, and
it is recorded that many thousands of
dollars have been taken out of Barber
canyon. Their work, however, was
in no manner systematic, and consist
ed of gouging out the hillside in
favorable locations. An exhaustive
analysis of the ground has demonstrat-
ed that the value per cubic yard
throughout the canyon will run close
to $3.50 per cubic yard.

A Law AND ORDER SOCIALIST
IS MR.. JERRY GRAHAM

In the last issue of the News there
was printed an interview with Mr.
Jerry Graham, one of Winnemucca IS
pioneer citizens, regarding the sending
OF the troops into Goldwield This
interview purported to show, or Mr.
Graham believed it pnrported to show
that he was aligned under the rec
flag of anarchy, and not under the
glorious old flag of freedom, which h
sternly declares is not the ease.
While he is now as he always has
been respector of law and order. h
believes that the welfare of all tho
people can best be served by the dowr
fall of capitalism, and that it is onl,
through the downfall of the tvrann,.
of the capitalist class that NAV

PIUTE TAKES HIS
OWN LIFE

While drunk and after heated argu-
ment with his wife which developed
into a fight, Jack Button, middle
aged Indian, retired in great dignity
his camp about mile north of
town Friday, secured shot gun and ty-
ing one end of bandana handkerchief
to the big toe of his right foot and
the otherto the trigger. placed the
muzzle against his stomach and pulled
the trigger.
Death resulted almost instantly, and
as soon as the other Indians living in
the vicinity and who heard the shot
had the temerity to approach the cabin
and look in they found Jack with his
life blood flowing rapidly away. The
Indian never spoke after being shot,
and no reason could be assigned for
the deed other than remorse for having
beaten up his wife, Alice Button, who
presented bloody nose and two black
eyes as evidence of the beating she had
received.
Judge G. E. Robins is at present in
Salt Lake where he has been for the
past two weeks, and it was necessary
to telegraph to Judge Langwith of
Golconda to come down and hold the
inquest. This was done Saturday, and
the jury returned a verdict that de-
ceased had come to his death as the
result of a gunshot wound and by his
own hand
NOTE-Sheriff Lamb says that this
verdict is incorrect and that deceased
came to his death as the result of a
gunshot wound by his own 7" foot

GOODWIN'S VIEWS ON
THE NEVADA SITUATION

Sometimes we think our country is
too large. 1t has been the habit for
years of the ruling influences in the
East to look with a kind of disdain
upon the far West. Mr. Cleveland
gave expression to the feeling when he
referred to certain states which pro
tested against being brutally robbed
to satisfy the avarice of certain east
ern bondholders, and "unwelcome
states The East is very rich, and
in its arrogance it really believes that
its genius has made it so great, but
the West keeps certain facts in mind
Among them, one is that the East was
never very prosperous until its com
mon commodities were vitalized and
given value by the gold of California,
bringing more wealth to the East in
ten years than it had accumulated in
sixty. Again, the West keeps in mind
that when the war was sore it was Ne
vada' 8 gold and silver and California 3
gold that enabled the government to
meet the interest on its bonds and thus
keep ITS credit from going out of sight.
The West remembers, too, that when
the bondholders struck down half the
basis money of the land-the silver
half-though it was hard and cruel on
the West, every man in the East who
was little in debt and who hoped by
his property and his labor to make an
independence, was carried into bank
ruptcy, until every business in the East
was smitten by paralysis that entail
ed as much or more loss upon the seast
as the business interests of the east
exceeded in value those of the west.
The west keeps note of the fact that it
is the stream of precious metals that
has been flowing from the west to the
east for sixty years that has vitiliz-
ed the business of the east and held
it on its steady upward wav
And the west does not believe that
1T has been an upwelcome factor in the
upbuilding of this great nation, and
that the reason that the east is no logger
filled with simple pastoral people.
living mostly through barter. is be-
cause of what the sparcely settled
west has been able to produce. And
the western people believe that they
have clear idea of what is best for
the native land as have the 12,00O,OO0
emigran-a who poured into New York
during the past year with the purpose
of trying to make simple wages in
new land. And their admiration for
eastern great men is not increased
when they see how these great men
look to Wall street and to the New
York Journals for inspiration and
they even doubt, in the presence of the
present financial shOwiuu nf tbat o;+,,

MORMONS WILL RECLAIM
DESERT NEAR LAS VEGAS

The Mormon church of Salt Lake
City has arranged to reclaim thousands
of acres of desert land in Lincoln
county, Nevada, and mean to make an
outlay of about $5.000.000 in the work.
They plan to send 1000 families into
Nevada for settlement in the neighbor-
hood of Las Vegas.
The settlement in the state will be
made under the Carey act. AS a sect
the Mormons have no equals as desert
reelaimers. They made the Utah des-
ert blossom as the rose and it will be
great gain to Nevada to have them
settle in this state.

NEVADA WILL MAKE GOOD.

From the San Jose Times.
Suppose that Nevada mining stocks
should go clear down and out of sight
what thenf Having very little
knowledge of the mines themselves,
we nevertheless feel like saying that
when stocks are low is the time to
buy, and when they are high is just
exactly the time to sell.
But the suckers will not do this.
The wise men who have investigated
the mertits of Nevada g many rich
mines will buy its stocks while at the
low mark and lay it away for the
natural advance which wilI speedily
come. 1t is the same old story-the
little fellow will get frozen out. The
man of means and intelligence and
courage will step into his place and
then when the temporary depression
has passed by the great and rich de.
posts Of ore will be brought to the
surface to bless mankind and add to
the list of millionaires of the country.
But why reason with the people
about buying on low market and sell
ling when the stock is upi Such
things will be done by those who are
thoroughly posted and the average
citizen does not either take the time
or employ the right means to become
acquainted with the facts, and there
fore buys without intelligence, and
usually proves himself to be the very
June bug which was being sought.
However, Nevada win rise trium-
phant from any temporary depression.
Her history warrants belief in her
future, and her sons and daughters are
made of the right kind of stuff, and
somewhere and somehow the thing will
work out, and the ricn mines will
be developed and untold millions will
yet be added from Nevada 3 rock rib
bed hills to carry the white wings
y commerce around the globe and
add to the happiness and pleasure of
mankind.

ROSEBUD GETTING
DOWN TO REAL
Mining

William Beeler and wife stopped
over in Winnemucca Saturday on their
way from Rosebud to Gold Circle.
Mr. Beeler speaks enthusiastically of
opinion more actual mining. it being
done there, and has been done there
in the last 30 days, than in any like
period of time sice the discovery of the
the camp. This is remarkable, he says,
the face of the general belief that
there is very little going on at Rose
bud.
The Sulphur country is proving up
well, and this section bids fair to be
the producing section of the Rosebud
district, j. r. Mann, leaser of the
Durango Girl property, is now sinking
on a five-foot ledge, from which pie
ture ore in small quantities is being
extracted.
Cockrell and Ford, old prospectors
in this section are engaged in exten-
sive work on their ground They re-
Gently reported strike of $40 ore.
The discovery was in a five-foot ledge,
traceable for about claim length.
The Sunnyside group, owned by Me-
Cullen and McCloud, is showing up
well, and they are at present sinking
on five-foot ledge. in which a high
grade ore shoot was discovered last
month.
On the Mystic and Hillside groups
north of the Sulphur road, Mike Me
kenna and son are doing develop
ment work -
In the Rosebud district proper, Phil
lips and Petit, the Goldbud Townsite
hackers, are doing their work on the
Rabbits Foot group. The Calving
brothers have commenced operations on
their group at the camp, and with the
returns now on hand contemplate ex-
tensive development in the spring
The International group owned by
w. Boyce and W. r. Howell is soon to
be transferred to New York company.
From the vicinity of Rosebud Springs,
many good reports are constantly com
ing in. In this section the Florence.
owned by Joe Warren and A l.. Wag-
ner, is looking up well.
A short time ago strike of ore
giving values of $40 to the ton was
struck in vein 5 feet in width. w.
l.. Turner, whose property is only
""cft ofotaHtt tut Is
sinking hundred foot shaft in ship
ping ore. Virginia l. Beeler has cen
doing extensive work on the Vorginia
claims, and expects to continue this
work next summer. Dan Hart is work
ing on his ground in the camp. w.
Goss, one of the first operators to
come to Rosebud, is doing develop
ment work on his Marksman group,
and considers il to be az good as the
White Alps property.
Joe Warren. locator of the Florence
Group, arrived in Winnemucca on Sun
day He stated that since Mr.. and
Mrs. Beeler left he had discovered a
lead of ore, four feet wide which will
average $40 TO the ton. This new dis.
eovery was made in tunnel driven
in only twelve feet. Barry and Barret,
the Goldfield operators on the Cloudy
Chasm, have sunk a shaft of so feet,
from which assays of gold of $40 from
four foot lead are taken.
Deldene, Rodgers & Elmer have their
tunnel in for 100 feet on the Spring
field property, and for over so feet
heavy gold paintings may be taken.
In l0-ineh vein sunk in the center
of the tunnel or going $50 to the ton
