Revival at Candelaria

The old camp of Candelaria in Esmer-
aida county is being revived and min
ing men who have hold of the properties
in that camp state that it will again b.
come one of the best camps in Nevada.
New machinery and new pumps for the
mines have been ordered and the pumps
are now being installed. This means
that the mines will be worked On 4 very
extensive scale and that they will soon
be producing once more. The oil ieiGes
of Candelaria were at one time among
the richest silver mines of the United
States but when silver declined thev
were closed down and until this year
were not worked for many years.

May Become Millionaire

Discovery of a gold bearing ledge a
foot wide and uncovered for a length
of 80 feet, carrying values varying
from $500 to $500 to the ton, is re-
ported from the Blackhorse mine, the
original working of the Blackhorse dis
trict. A result has been much excite
ment along the people of the Black
horse district, while the discovery
promises to place its owner, Tom Wat
kins, in the millionaire class in event
there is as much of the gold bearing
quartz as there now appears reason to
expect.

Rich Strike in Inyo

Great excitement prevails throughout
the southern part Of this valley over a
strike of fabulous richness made by n.
J Robinson and A. W. Wells in a mine
that they own and are working about
four miles from Beverage, says the
Inyo Independent. This claim was
located a little over a year ago and
the owners .hav. been worsi.g 1t since
that time withou. more encouragement
than has been received by many who
have abandoned their claims in despair
and disgust. Samples of Gre were
horned by them frequently, but without
any satisfactory result. About 10 daps
ago they took samples to Eeeler and
ASSAYS by Mr.. TOWNSEND showed values
running over 500 per ton. A few days
later they encountered a streak about
two inches wide literally spotted with
free gold, the assays giving values Of
4 8 1000 per ton.

Whistle Has a History

The siren whistle which has been in
stalled by the Mcnamara mine in Tono-
pah has quite a history. 1t was made
by the Union Iron Works for the battle
ship Oregon previous to it's famous
cruise around the Horn in 1897 Mt the
outbreak of the Spanish-American war.
Shortly afterwards Rudolph Spreekles
purchased it for his sugar refinery at
San Francisco, but the whistle made
such a racket that the people made
him remove it. Spreckles had the
whistle and didn't know what to do
with it. Finally he used it on his yacht
in the bay and later traded it to a
winery for a few eases of its product.
President Joseph of the Mcnamara, got
trace of the noise maker with the end
that it is now sending the chills up and
down the spines of T~onopah people,

seems now TO be enough business
in sight 10 make such q proposition
feasible. The latest agitation of the
question was cau'el recently 10y the

um, where there is an abundance of
power going to waste to develope
all the electric power needed for car
service connecting Camas Prairie,
Trou, Lake, Pine Flat, Bristol aud
Snowden with the railroad at
White Salmon. This will bring a
wonderfully fertile region in touch
with the great North Bank railroad

November Sunset contains a very
interesting article by Earl Walcott
on the rehabilitation of SanFraneis-
CO. One can hardly comprehend the
won lerfully rapid work that has
been done in rebuilding the ruined
city. II takes an earthquake some
times to waken people and bring
forth their dormant energies. There
are other places than SanFrancisco
that need an awakening, but we
hope 1t will not be done with an
earthQuake.

SELECTED HISTORY.

Napoleon crossed the Delaware
Or was II Buffalo Bill7-
Tho Delaware or Hudson,
The Rhine or some such rill.
/ get 30 mixed on rivers,
Locations. names and dates,
But still know that some one
Crossed something, history states
And Washington, the hero,
You know he scaled the Alps
When out one pie SAINT morning
And red hot after scalps,
Or was Il Marco Polo
Who crossed the Andes high7
l know there was some crossing,
For history cannot lie.
Columbus crossed the ocean
feel quite sure OF that
And all the folks confounded
Who said the world was nat.
He crossed Il In a vessel
quite small. but rather trim,
Because. as you may reckon,
II was too far to swim.
This crossing and recrosslng
Make UP lot OF life.
Though one might find hero
who never crossed his wife,
And there was blum King Henry,
The eighth, n turtledove,
Who. as the records tell us,
Was never crossed In love.
