FLORENCE MILL WILL
BE COMPLETED SOON

GoLDFIELD, Jan. 12-"As soon as the
mill is ready to START the mine will
start" This tersc statement was made
by Tom g. Lockhart of the Florence this
morning. The Florence mill is rapidly
nearing completion. Material has been
arriving slowly, but it is utilized as fas.
as it is received.
Great delay has been occasioned by the
loss of machinery on a side line some
where between Goldfield and Denver. 1t
was shipped three months ago. The mil
will start with a seventy-ton capacity,
which will be increased shortly to 40 tons
daily.
There will be no dumping of ore after
the mine resumes. but it will be con-
veyed direct to the mill. The process
that will be used will enable the working
of SIS ore at considerable proportionate
profit

Banner Silver Camp Is Following
Example of Prehistoric Inhabitants

ten or more years ago when the slump
in silver caused the abandonment of the
camp; for years not a pound of ore has
been taken from the old mines.
A man Of moderate means could buy
the whole town now and make sanitar-
ium city out of 1t
The abandonment of this town leaving
the buildings intact furnishes a clue to
the reason of the abandonment Of many
Of the old prehistoric cities that abound
In New Mexico and Arizona. There are
many old ruins of cities of pe..daps a
hundred thousand inhabitants which were
evidently deserted by their inhabitants
just as this modern town has been de-
serted. and perhaps for the same reason
failure of mines or more likely the
water supply which once filled their i'm
mense irrigation reservoirs.

Mines of Alaska Show Decreased
Output, bot Great Gain Expected

Alaska's entire gold production for 1907
will be between $17OO00O0 and $1S000,0 900.
This loss must be charged for the most
part to the decrease in the production of
the placer mines.
1t is not to be supposed, however, that
Alaskas placers have passed the zenith
of their production. According to Mr.
Brooks, all the evidence points to the
conclusion that greater annual produce
ton than that of 1907 viii yet be at
tanned. The mining industry has therefore
received only temporary setback. but 1t
is one from which 1t may not recover
in less than year or two.

BIG STRIKE

SHOWS ORE VALUE AT $4,000
ATOM
Former Utah Senator Has Rich Mine
and Has Blocked Out Pur-

..rm going to Rawhide."

Tim going TO HaWnloS.
This is the talk in Tonopah; it is heard
on the streets, in the offices, in the
homes. It is heard beyond Tonopah; 1t
o. heard In the east and the west. in the
south and the north.
For Rawhide has come to stay, ana
every report that comes from the camp
adds to the interest in it and increases
the production, says the Tonopah Bo-
nanza.
The latest report which reached here
yesterday was that they had run into
streak on the Kearns lease. assays from
which went as high as $4,000 ton. and
that a big body of ore had been struck
on the Royal and Tiger claims.
The Kearns lease is on Balloon hill.
and was bought by Mr.. Kearns from the
original holders for $4,000. That showed
the confidence of Mr.. Kearns in Rawhide,
and before he bought the lease Grutt
brothers had taken $4,000 out Of the hole.
Since his purchase Mr.. Kearns has
blocked out the money he had put IN
and this was before the new strike which
has just been reported.
The Royal and Tiger claims were con-
coded to be the greatest group OF them
ALI and on a lease on the Royal the
biggest strike yet made in the camp has
been encountered. The control OF this
group has been sold to Tonopah parties,
and the report that II had been pur-
chased by Mclaughlin of Fairview is an
error.
Contradictory stories OF this sort are
apt to be heard from the camp from now
on, but there is one thing in regard TO
which there has been no contradiction.
and that is the big strikes that have
been made in the camp. And there has
not yet been found a man who has come
from Rawhide who has not declared that
the surface showings are the greatest
that have ever been seen in this or any
other state.
'l'm Going to Rawhide"
AS a matter of fact, every man who
comes from there is more enthusiastic
than those who came before him, and It
is small wonder that everybody is get
ting excited and that the universal cry
is on all sides:
I'm going to Rawhide.'
Another strike which was reported is
a big find in the lease on the Owl claim,
from which was taken the rich ore
brought in by Mr.. Booth. proprietor Of
the Daily Bonanza. The lease is owned
by George Anderson, formerly of this
city; ]. II. Alexander. ]. H. kissing and
Fred Hughes.
The improvements keep pace with the
finds in the hills, and there is any amount
of building going on all the time. There
are two frame hotels in the course of
construction. One Of these is being put
up by Mrs. Belle Dormer and E. Z. Bur-
dick, both of Tonopah. The bank build
ing is nearly completed and on the sec
ond floor of this structure rooms are be-
ing fitted up for the Regent club. There
are several substantial mercantile houses
in the camp, good lodging houses and
restaurants, and the conditions generally
are far above the average Of the mining
camp as VIC know it.

Al Other Candidates Withdraw When
\ the Tide Of Sentiment Turned
Irreslstibiy Toward the
Hoosler.

Denver. Col. July, 1.-THE Demo
cratic national convention concluded
its labor late Friday afternoon by the
nomination Of John Worth Kern cfsIn-
diana for vice-president, completing
the ticket on which William Jennings
Bryan was made the nominee for
president during the early hours Of
Friday morning.
The nomination Of Kern was made
by reclamation amid the resounding
cheers Of delegates and spectators.
No ballot was necessary, as the tide Of
sentiment rad set irresistibly toward
the Indiana candidate, state after
state registering their delegations In
his favor, and all other candidates
withdrawing before the universal de-
mand for his nomination.
The convention. after adjourning at
daylight with the nomination Of Mr..
Bryan, resumed its session at ] p. m.

all Of her rs votes for the Nebraskan.
After the announcement Of the vote
the convention at $40 a. m. adjourned
until / D. m. Friday.
Balloting did not begin until long al
ter two o'clock a. M, as Mr.. Bryan's
friends refused to go on with the So,
lection Of the candidate, fearing that
BY some possible clever trick a "joker"
might be slipped in the platform.
The resolutions committee com
pleted its labors shortly before mid
night, and just at twelve o'clock Gov
Haskell presented the report, embody'
ing the completed platform, which was
framed in exact accordance with Mr..
Bryan's views and orders. 1t was
adopted by unanimous vote.
Even after this there was much de
Law, due to long-winded patriots who
insisted on making iive-minute second
ing speeches. In this way the ballot
ing was still further delayed, and at
three o'clock Friday morning was still
in progress.
Wild and uproarious scenes marked
the session after 1880 o'clock. Tired,
sore and angry through and through
the delegates demanded that the seem
ingly endless speeches be shut on
Harsh language was used, and per
sonal encounters were narrowly avert
ed.
The speech Of Ignatlus Dunn Of
Omaha, renominating William Jen
nings Bryan as the Democratic candt
date for president, precipitated another
avalanche Of cheers and applause al

night. The tumult began at S:lC
o'clock and lasted an hour and thirteen

in motion toward the nomination of
Mr.. Kern for second place. On the
call Of states, Indiana presented the
name Of Kern; Colorado through ex-
Gov. Thomas placed in nomination
Charles A, Towne of New York; Con-
necticut presented Archibald Mcneil
and Georgia, Clark Howell. The
names OF Judge George Gray Of Della
ware and Of John Mitchell of Illinois
were not presented owing to the posi-
tive requests of these gentlemen not
to have their names go before the con-
vention. For time it looked as
though a ballot would be required
But the steady line Of states which
Joined in seconding Kern's nomination
soon made 1t apparent that the
chances of all other candidates had
been extinguished. Mr.. Towne in per-
son was the first candidate to recQg-
nize the decisive nature of the Kern
movement, and in ringing speech
he withdrew his name from consider
alton and pledged his pport to the
ticket Of Bryan and Kern. Withdraw
ais quickly followed from the support
ers of Howell OF Georgia and Mcneil
Of Connecticut, leaving the Indiana
candidate alone in the field. The with
drawal of the Connecticut candidate
was accompanied by motion that
the nomination Of Kern be made by
reclamation. The motion was carried
with deafening shout, and the great
assemblage broke into clamorous dem
onstration on the accomplishment OF
its work and completion of the Demo
cratic national ticket.
The nomination was made at 4;2S
o'clock and the convention thereupon
adjourned without date.
The nominee for vice president re-
ceived the news Of the action OF the
convention in his apartments In the
Albany hotel. When, early in the day,
matters began to shape themselves In
his direction, and his selection became
almost a certainty, Mr.. Kern deter.
uined that he would remain away
from Fridays session, and according
ingly his seat was occupied by an
alternate.
