BELIEVES HE HAS GENUINE
DIAMOND MINE IN NEVADA

Has Nevada really any great dia-
nond deposit?
Many of the well-informed prospect
ors have contended for years that some
day somebody would find the precious
stones in this state. Be that as it may,
DR.. ]. r. Redman of Reno not only
thinks that Nevada will develop dia-
mond bed, but he believes that he has
discovered it, says the Nevada Forum.
On exhibition at his Office on Vir-
ginia street there are some pieces of
something apparently between clay and
rock and of the weli-known blush
color in which diamonds are found.
DR.. Redmond says he has seven claims
of this located about seventy miles
northeast of Reno.
The substance which Dr. Redmond
has located is studded with great guam
titles of what he believes are black
diamonds. The stones. whatever they
are, show sparkle after the outside
covering of the blush stuff has been
scraped off. They are quite black, but
some have been taken out by Dr.
Redmond which are about the color
of smoky topaz. They cut glass like
a diamond and will pick up paper sim
ilarly. Several men who are familiar
with diamonds in the rough in the
South African fields declare that the
black stones shown by DR.. Redmond
are diamonds.
No one has been found who can tell
what the blush stuff really is, al
though several men well informed on
have examined it.

BOSTON CON. MAKES MONEY
BY PiLlNG UP ITS COPPER

A rising metal market has been of
material benefit to the Boston Consoli-
dated company. For many months
that company has been piling up con-
centrates at its mill by reason of a
supplemental contract entered into
with the American Smelling & Rein
ing people. This contract prevented
shipments to the Garfield smelter, but
permitted the Boston Consolidated
company to draw 50 per cent of the
assay value of the concentrates at the
time of milling. This contract expires
Jan. l, and by that time the Boston
Consolidated should have 5000. 00d
pounds of copper in concentrates ready
for smelter treatment. and it will be
settled with for its copper at the time
these concentrates are shipped after
Jan. and at the copper prices ruling
at that time.
This practically means that the Bos-
ton Consolidated company will derive
an additional profit of about 2 cents
per pound by having held its concen-
trates at its mill for the past six or
eight months, matter of about
$3.50, 900.

at once, Mr.. Craig and Mr.. Rourke
having gone up the canyon this morn
ing to look over the properties and de-
eide what shall be done. Other work to
further develop the numerous fine
showings of copper ore will be started

NEW ORE SHIPPING
RATES FROM ELY, NEV.

The first practical benefit to this
camp resulting from the completion of
the Western Pacific road is the an
nouncement OF reduced rates on ore
shipments from here to Argo, the
Boston" smelter of the trust in Den
yer, says the Ely Mining Expositor.
The present rate on ore from East
Ely to Salt Lake, via the Nevada
Northern and Southern Pacific is as
follows: On ore valued at $50. $3.50:
on $40 ore. $40; on $50 ore. s7.S5. From
Salt Lake to Argo the rate is $3.50 for
all ores under 800, thus making the
through rates on the three grades of
ore s13, $3.50 and $15.35 respectively.
The new rates from East Ely to Ar
go Will become effective Dec 10 and are
as follows: On $50 ore, $3.50; on $40
ore, $3.50; on $50 ore, $3.50. From Kim
berly the rate is 80 cents additional on
all classes.
The rate has been established at this
time for the benefit of the Giroux Con-
solidated. which is now regularly op

gratifying that there is nothing in

There is nothing that you would
avoid or run away from. There is
nothing omitted that you need sup

In these respects you have a tre-

platform, possessed of an abiding
conviction that our cause is just, you
will draw the keen blade of right
eousness and truth, throwing away
the scabbard and fight for the prin-
ciple of equal rights to all, and spec
ial privileges to none. Your party
has emphatically refused to form any
alliances with special interests that
enjoy special privileges under repub-
lican administration. You have al
ways refused to compromise with
those who prostitute the functions of
government for the lust of greed. 1t
was your lofty statesmanship, your
unwavering fidelity your jefferson
standard of democracy that induced
the representatives of ml-ilons Of
