LOOK FOR BIG
RUSH IN Spring

Every day it becomes more evident
that old Hamilton will have such an
awakening when spring opens as the
old residents have never dreamed of.
New men are working all over the
hills and are making valuable finds.
All the country for many miles
around is staked off by Ely, Goldfield
and Tonopah men mostly, and they
all intend to do active work as soon
as the weather will permit. There
is no doubt in the minds of experts
but large bodies of rich ore will be
found at depths of 100 to 500 feet
all over this district, and the sinking
of such shafts will commence in earn.

PEDRO LOOKS
GOOD TO LIDDELL
DECLARES No PROPERTY IN THE
STATE HAS A BETTER
PROSPECT.

The San Pedro mines is fast APP
preaching the point where it will
take its place with the producers. A
hoist has been ordered for the de-
velopment of the property at depth,
the official survey of the ground has
been made for the United States pat
ent, and they are taking ore from
the mine.
Charles A. Liddell, of the engin-
eering firm of Liddell and Liddell o.
Manhattan, returned here yesterday
from Battle Mountain, where he had
gone to make a survey. He also
made an examination of the mine,
and declares that there is no prop
erty in the State that is better
prospect.
They have some wonderful show
ings in that district" said he, "and
was genuinely surprised at the
showings and the developments of
the Pedro. | found a vein a trifle
over twelve feet in width, from
which, in conjunction with the work
ings, took eight samples and got an
average of over $50 a ton. These
included three samples from the
workings. The average of the sui
phides at a depth of 'seventy-five feet
was $50 ton. There occurs in this
vein kidneys of sulphide ore, all oil
which give assay returns of over
$140 ton. In this country, the
greater values are found in the sui.
phides, due doubtless to the lack oil
organic matter, and what / like about
the Pedro is the presence of the sui
phides for this reason.

; down in the Pedro for 300 or 400

ore, the mine would be one of tn.
; greatest things in the country, fo
the reason that it has the finest kline
OF concentrating ore. With a mod

Continental Chapter Meeting.

At meeting of Continental Chapter,
D. A. r., last Monday evening Judge De-
Lacy of the Juvenile Court expressed him
self as being strongly in favox of the
passage of curfew law for the District.
He declared that no child should be on
the streets after s O'Clock pm. unless ac-
companied by an adult, and objected to
permitting children to skate on Pennsyl-
vania avenue and other prominent thor
oughfares after nightfall.
Judge DeI.acy also declared he is in ia
vor of a more drastic regulation of sa-
looms than now prevails, and urged the
passage of probation law for old Of

Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey also adj

1t has been announced that minors will

that it will further its claim that it does
