The Bumper Pumpkin Gro,

ebfhut NTOQ
The pumpkin is SORT Of a,mc,.
uentaf now on the food scale-and
a feature Of Halloween parties. But
back in 1860, when the hot winds
turned Kansas into scorohed plain,
the now forgotten and unsupg pump
kin" was the whole show. John T.
Brady was visiting at sabetha re.
Gently and told a story of that ia.
nous drouth in 1869, He and VIII.
lam Collins had come from Illinois
The year before. They had started
for Pixies Peak, which at that time
was the Mecca of ali wanderers. The
met a bunch of returning emigrants
near Sabetha and the hard luck
stories determined them to cast
their fortunes in Kansas. They took
a claim near the present townsite of
Sabetha. After putting in a crop
In the spring of 1860, they decided to
go on to Pixies Peak anyway. They
remained until fall and then came
back to their claim. The corn was
twisted like burnt bacon. The grass
was bleached and dead. The whole
country which only a few months be-
fore had promised abundant harvest
had been turned into a profitless des.
ert The bare ground looked as if
it had been scared by furnace. Moth
ing was raised. Brady and Collins
began to look around. They knew a
man named Bierly Job, close by and
called on him. They found that he
had a tremendous crop Of pumpkins.
They had been planted in the corn
as the oldfaShioned farmers used to
do. The corn had been killed, but
the pumpkins refused to suffer a like
fate. The hotter the weather got,
the faster grew the pumpkins. They
filled the furrow, and the vinesIcov-
cred the hills and continued to bring
forth more and more. The crop was
something wonderful to behold. When
anybody got hungry he came and ca
ried off load Of Jobs pumpkins.
Nothing else had been raised and
pumpkins were served for soup, for
meat and in pie for desert. People
ate pumpkins until they turned yellow
That crop made history and saved
many belt from being drawn in to
unaccustomed notches.-K. c. Jour-
nal.

ROUND MOUNTAIN MINES
BEING WORKED ACTIVELY

custom mill but the leasing company is
making arrangements to finance the
erection of a small mill of it's own
and under these conditions it would
prove a oodsdividend payer.
Further than this, it is figured that
the mill would always continue to be a
valuable money making asset to the
company even after the lease expired
for the plant could be converted into a
custom mill for the reduction of ores
from the other leases in the district.
Superintendent Llewellyn is an ex-
perienced practical mining man and no
one who could be placed in charge
would be more competent to get all that
there was to be had out of the property.
The scheme of putting up a small mill
would without a doubt make a hand
some producing property of the lease
whereas the paying of custom mill
charges would materially cut down the
revenues to the ~leasers.
The Solid Gold
Albert F. Averill, vice president of
the Solid COLD Leasing company to-
gether with George NJ. Lowry, a director
in the company and n of the heaviest
stockholders, have been in the camp
during the past week making an ex-
animation of the property.
Both gentlemen are residents of
Pomphret Center, Connecticut, and this
is their first visit to Nevada. 1t was
through the fundamentally of Cy s.
johnson that they became interested in
the lease, taking Mr.. johnson 3 state.
ments of the facts without hesitation.
They are very much pleased with
what they have seen and express great
satisfaction with the manner in which
Mr.. johnson has managed the affairs Of
the company.

town for a week or ten days longer dur

agency of leasers but this may be said
to be the first time that the company
have been able to undertake the work
on a scale of which the property is de-
serving. There are two full claims and
a fraction and no ~undeveloped property
in the district is more favorably stu
ated to give promise Of future results.
A number of rich stringers have been
discovered on the property and the sur
face soil is known to be rich placer
ground for the Round Mountain Hy-
draulic company have applied for and
received a lease on the surface rights
which has been thoroughly ~prospected
and PANIED by them with the result
that they are satisfied that it will pay
handsomely to work.
Antelope Lease
The officers of the Round Mountain
Antelope Leasing company are more
than encouraged in what they have
opened up in the new incline which
they started on their block on the An
telope claim.
Superintendent Llewellyn has cut the
incline to a distance of lao feet and
the entire distance from the surface
follows an ore body.
At a point 100 feet from the surface
a vertical ledge was struck and drift
ing on this has begun.
Including both the vertical and in
cline lodges the Antelope Leasing com
pany has two bodies of ore ranging
from three to FIVE feet in width which
give every promise of developing into
permanently. The ore is perfectly free
and paintings show good results. Prac-
tically no waste has been taken out dur
ing the progress Of the work thus far
and Mr.. Llewellyn has a good sized
dump of ore ready to put through the
mill as soon as it is ready to handle it.
The lease is quite likely to be a low
grade proposition which will hardly
warrant the expense Of treatment by a
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-12-05

been advanced a length of 80 feet, that
being the distance out from the station
at which development work is progress
ing on the 50-foot level. The shaft
through whose medium exploration is
being maintained is in ore from surface
to bottom having an average value of
$40 the ton. 1t is to be lowered to an
incline depth of 100 feet, beginning
early this month. At that level the
ledge is again to be proved up, but no
attempt will be made to test it within
the section intervening below the so
foot level. 1t is also the intention to
crosscut over to the incline workings
from the main shaft, located about 10
feet northeast.
Rawhide Consolidated
Plans for developing the 50O-acre
estate of the Rawhide Consolidated
Gold Placer Mining company have
reached a stage where bids for pipe,
pumping machinery and giants are to
be invited. A contract is soon to be
awarded for constructing a storage
reservoir near the bank of the dry lake
| well to the south of the TOWNSHIP and
! for building a tank reservoir on the
| apex of a hill situated within con-
venient distance of the upper portion
of the acreage. From the hilltop the
water will be piped to the scene of
placer operations by gravity. Ground
is to be broken at site of the storage
reservoir before the close of the pres
! ent month. Superintendent Friend in
forms your representative that he
hopes to have the work well advanced
early in January, and to have the pipe
and pumping machinery in place by
spring. He feels confident that no trou-
BILE will be experienced in conserving a
water supply adequate for all needs. If
this can be done there is no doubt but
what the project will pay as well as
does a similar one established in the
Round Mountain district about IL
months ago. Your representative is
conversant with the value of the ground
by careful sampling of the auriferous
gravel at surface, at bedrock and at
intermediate points. The surface dirt
has an average value approximating 81
the cubic yard. AS depth is gained
values increase to $3.50 the cubic
yard at bedrock-depth of so feet.
Rawhide Mining
A large tonnage of milling ore is be-
ing conserved on dump and below
ground at the favorably known Nor
rissey lease on the Last Chance claim
of the Rawhide Mining company. The
main working shaft is down about 100
feet and will be continued to a depth of
$50 feet before further attempt is
made to prove up the ledge exposed in
the upper workings. There the ledge
has a width of IA feet, is confined be-
tween well defined walls and has a
value varying from $40 to $50 the ton.
It's average value is $3.50 the ton. The
management will make M attempt to re-
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-12-05

ing which time they will make a
thorough inspection of the camp.
On Tuesday the feeders for the mill
arrived and were at once installed. The
only missing parts Of the mill are the
plates and these are expected every
day. The cyaniding plant is also on the
road.
Superintendent Madigan is actively
at work opening up the mine SO that
when the mill is ready to treat the ores,
he can 60 right at work and keep tax
ing out the ore necessary to keep the
mill working full blast for the three
shifts per day.
There is already a big tonnage of
milling ore on the dumps which will be
sufficient to keep the plant at work for
a month or more without extracting a
single pound.
Mr.. johnson reports that the mine IS
looking fine and that the ore bodies
continue to improve with each days
work. He states that conditions never
appeared more favorable for a big pro-
ducing proposition and it is his opinion
that the Solid Gold lease will turn out
to be one of Nevada 3 bonanzas.
In speaking of the lease Mr.. johnson
said:
1--WE have about twenty men EN-
ployed at both the mill and mine and
about December 10 the - stamps will
start dropping. There is on the dump
between 700 and 500 sacks of high
grade ore waiting to be treated, and
this amount will be greatly added to
before the mill starts. In the mine we
have about 700 feet of work done. That
means in both sinking and drifting. The
shaft is down 200 feet and when the air
compressors are installed air drills will
be instituted and then the work can
be done much faster.
"The company will in the near flu
ture take several leases on the Red Top
ground and commence operations on
them. The new mill is one of the Mcr-
rill stamp variety and will have a ca
pacity of sixty ons daily. We will
probably do custom work also, of
which there is a great demand in the
camp.
"Last week vsc encountered an ore
shoot about six inches in width that
comes very nearly being the pure
quill"
