TRAGEDY ENTERS THE RACE.

Los ANGELES, April 4.-Suddenly
engulfed in fierce desert sandstorm
half way between the Emigrant pass
and Skidoo, the French car, De Mon.
from New Yory to Paris, dropDed into
a pit in Death Valley quicksand just
after midnight and lost fully a day.
After trying in fain until daylight to
get out, they had to send to Rhyolite,
fifty miles away, for term to pull the
machine out. Only burros could be
found in the other mining camps.
tThe Rhyolite liveryman sent team
driven by Frank Hartinger, but in
short time the horses returend alone
Hartinger's body was found on the
desert with broken neck and it is
supposed that he fell out of the wagon.
The second team finally reached the
De Mon, and after tug Of six hours
practically released the motor, but
had to pull it until noon on account
Of the continued high wind.

IMPRESSED WITH
POSSIBILITIES

Attorney Warren returned Saturday
from Austin where he has been attend
ing court, During his absence he visit
ed the new mining camp of Gweenah.
Mr.. Warren says that the new camp is
situated only about seven miles north of
Austin and about one mile from the
narrow gauge railroad. That the form
alton is volcanic; that the district
where the mines are is covered with a
lime cap and extends as much as two
miles in a northerly and southerly di-
rection. The ores so far found are very
rich in horn silver and carry consider
able gold. The veins appear to be per-
pendicular and well defined as far as
opened. The Lamarie property is open
ed distance of seventy feet by shaft
and shows well defined vein Of very
high grade ores. The shaft on the Watt
property is only seven feet, but exposes
vein of marvelously rich ore. The
ground is covered by leases, and the
new town of Skookum appears to grow
while you are looking at it. There
was was when Mr. Warren left, three
frame buildings and about eighty tents
with population of about 200, which
IS rapidly growing Mr. Warren thinks
the showing and promise for future de-
velopment very good.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS
FOR GOLD CIRCLE

George Weston, pioneer of the
Colorado mining camps, has Just re-
turned from the Gold Circle district in
Nevada.
u have been in Goldfield, Tonopah
ana dozen other camps in Nevada
during the past few years, said Mr..
Weston yesterday to the Herald, "and
can truthfully say that to me Gold
Circle presents better prospects than
any of them for producing a goodly
number of mines. In radius of FIVE
miles of Midas 1 believe that not less
than dozen big mines will be made.
| do not expect them to be remarkable
for the sensational values thew will
show in ores; but they will produce
large quantities of fine milling rock.
rock from which big dividends will be
earned, because of the chance to eco
nomocally operate milling plants in that
country. The main lodges of the dis
trict have northwesterly trend and YOU
can trace them through the country
for 1--WE or six miles without an effort.
These lodges are cut aat intervals by
eross-fissures, and the mineralization
is general all over the district. 1 pan
ned for two weeks and got strings of
colors indicating values of all the way
from $40 to $3.50 a ton. The lodges
prospected by me ranged in width from
twenty inches to twelve feet, and the
results were such that / could not help
noticing the similarity of ledge tex
ture and values with those of Gil
PIN county. Permanency is branded in
the matrix of every ledge and ores un
covered are just as suggestive of uni
formity in strength and depth. Lots
OF rich ore is going to be found in the
district, but the big money will come
through the handling of great quaint
ties of $40 to $50 rock.
:" A Reno combination has been or.
ganized to build an electric light and
power plant on Rock creek, some
twelve Of fifteen miles from camp.
where the syndicate Is engineers have
reported that 5000 horsepower can be
developed. Work, l was told, would
begin within few days, or as soon as
1T was possible to get men and supplies
into the country. The ame crowd
has leased or bought water rights a
short distaonce below the town of Midas
with the purpose Of putting in a cas-
tom milling plant. If this is done it
will give the numerous leasers in the
district chance to realize good money
on the milling ore they develop in the
search for high-grade shipping rock
Yes, ! believe the district is going to
make a big and permanent one"

of ore Is disclosed ON the Oversight
Fraction in the Gold Crown group of
claims at Gold Circle, which shows
general average value of $500 to the
ton in gold and the whole vein of 20
feet in width carries phenomenal mil

there 10 only one wall in sight, for
the vein has not yet been crosscut
The Gold Crown group was originally
located by william Menking and C.

RENO DISPATCH TELLS
OF PUOR AT RAWHIDE

According to a dispatch published
in San Francisco under Reno
date line, Cleo Starr, one of the fa-
nous Denver and Salt Lake beauties
arrived at Rawhide last Monday to
inspect mining property in which she
has become interested. noting the con-
ditions existing there of the hundreds
without funds, flocking to the new Ell
Dorado, she urged the starting OF a
fund to relieve the sufferings Of the
hungry men and help send them from
the camp.
In nearly every instance the suffer
ers have had no experience in mining,
and in the mushroom city on the desert
find themselves unableto earn even
the price of food. Miss Starr headed
the list with a subscription of $4,000.
The money has been placed in charge
of Tex Rickard. who within the past
few weeks has become oneof the most
wealthy men in the camp. Rickard
will disburse the funds, which is be-
lieved will 60 far towards relieving
the conditions which exist in the new
camp.

CLIFFORD PINCHOT
EXPLAINS

WASHINGTON, April 3--In view
Of the allegations against him on the
floor Of the House BY Messrs Mondell
OF Wyoming and Smith of California,
and others, Clifford Pinchot, chief for.
ester has addressed a letter to Mr.. Pol
lard of Nebraska, member of the
committee on agriculture in defense of
himself.
Mr.. Pinchot denies that either the
forest service or himself ever paid a
cent for any newspaper or magazine
advertising; that neither his bureau or
himself ever instigated or procured at
tacks on public men and denies the
misuse of public funds. "It is OBJ
vious,o he says, "to anyone who will
consider the matter for q moment, that
the character, intelligence and news
sense Of Washington and other cores
pondents and of every editor and writ
er who has made use of our material
is the most effective barrier for any
such scheme o. work as the forest SER
vice has been charged with. -
The surest way to prevent any fair
consideration of the bureaus work
by the press. He says, "would be
to attempt such campaign of exag
geration and putting as has been char
ged.'
No newspaper man he says further
ever received material from the forest
service who did not known it did not
come from the fosest service.
Mr.. Pinchot closes his letter by de-
Tending thepolicy of sending forest
officials to meeting of forestrv bodies
in order to hear complaints, if any,
against the service or to give sug-
gestions.

1hE TONE OF THE MARKET

The wool market continues dull.
The trend of prices for raw mater
ial in the foreign markets and the
curtailment of orders placed for goods
with the mills have forced the manu-.
ftacturers to adopt hand-tomouth pol
icy and they buy only when they need
the vol to fill orders.
The dress goods mills have Jared bet
ter in booking orders, and their con-
fidence in the future is evidenced by
free orders for those classes of wool
WHICH have been more or less under
pressure and which seem to offer a
good investment.
Were it not that manufacturers have
failed to receive orders for goods in
the usual volume, they would no doubt
come into. themarket now and buy
freely at current prices, which, as com
pared with those prevailing six months
ago, would make a much safer pur-
chase than raw material which has not
suffered to any great extent.
As confidence is restored manufac-
turers will come into themarket and ii
seems highly probable that those who
have the courageto buy now will secure
their stock at prices which it will not
be possible to duplicate later
Pressure to sell out the old wool
in the fact of the new clip has noce
more forced prices to their normal lev
ell and mills which secure stock in adj
vance off their actual needs were jus
titled in their free purchases by after
events.
The darkest mart nf tho nioht i.
just before the dawn, and when. en-
deavoring toforeeast the future, it
will be well not to lost sight of those
factors which make for good business
even at a time when conditions are
unsatisfactory and the immediate fl
ture is not clear.

Gives IN Interesting Address Before

Says Las Vegas 0meltsr Center.

In an address very recently before
the City Club Of Los Angeles, James
w. Abbott q well known Nevada min
ing engineer, spoke at considerable
length upon the opportunities Of the
city Of Los Angeles and to great de-
gree why they should wake up to the
fact that . deeper interest In the min
ing affairs Of Nevada and other west
ern territory would mean great finan-
cial aid to that city.
'There has already been in the
United States four periods of univer-
sal frenzy, due to phenomenal discov-
cries Of gold and silver. The first Of
these resulted from the gold which
came out Of the gulches of California
in the early SOS; the second from the
gold and silver from Virginia City
and Phoebe, twenty wears later; the
third from the silver Of Leadville in
the SOS, the fourth from the gold Of
Cripple Creek in the 9O's, and from
Gold6eld in recent years. | would
ask you to notice, gentlemen,
that three of the six periods belong
to the state of Nevada.

ing Tor Smeiter, ana nave notlceu
that the national solution of the prob
lem could only be reached bv making
Las Vegas, Nevada, which is on the
line of the Clark road in Nevada, a
great smelling center. To insure the
success Of the enterprise it would be
necessary to enlist the active sup
port of Senator Clark, the president
of the Salt Lake line. He would have
associated with him Los Angeles cap
ital, and it should be the distinct
understanding backed by ironclad con-
tracts that all Of the power Of the Salt
Lake road should be used for all time
to promote the success of the smelter,
and it should be arranged that the
smelter should be continued in opera
tion in the interest of Los Angeles, and
should not be allowed to fall q vic.

MINERAL wEALrx.

For q couple Of decades or more
Nevada was sneered at because she
had been admitted to the Union as y
political necessity at q time when she
had bat small population and its
natural and undeveloped resources
were confined virtually to the Com
stock lode. 1t 10 named the Sagebrush
state because Of its apparent agri-
cultural poverty and the predominant
Vegetation covering its hills and val
leys. When the Conlstock bonanxas
were exhausted, il was regarded gen.
orally As unredeemable state of dc
cadence, with a steadily dwindling
population and no future before it, ex-
cept as the abode of the remnant Of
the original tribes, the life indegious
Of desert wastes and cattle range. Its
glory as a mineral producer departed
with the demonetization Of that metal
Comparatively few had any faith in
the states industrial regeneration.
Nevada, however, is redeeming her
self by leaps and bounds. It's oldtime
reputation az the Ssgebrush and sill.
yer state is waning. The fed

sources. Its hardy prospectors are
proving that it possesses unlimited
auriferous wealth. The developments
of recent year is proving that it II
richer in gold than it ever was in sill

stock and that it had been misnamed
as the Silver State. 1t promises in
the coming year to outstrip Califor.

tion among the list Of states producing
the precious yellow metal.
Its marvellous wealth is just begin.
