FLANAGAN ON LABOR

senator Flanagan at Ely, last night,
nailed another Democratic campaign
misstatement to the mast.
Seven years ago, while Flanagan was
a member of the senate from Washoe
county, an eight-hour bill was intro
duced in the assembly and passed that
body. 1t came to the senate and was
referred to the senate committee on
members, two of which being Demo
cratic an one Republican. Flanagan
was not a member of this COMMITTEES.
Let us see who were members of it.
The chairman was 7. }. Bell, of Nye
county, the next Democratic member
was Senator Jackson of Washoe, and
the Republican memebr was Senator
Mccullough, of Ormsby.
This committee considered the bill
for thirteen days, reporting it back to
the senate on February 10, 1901, in a
written report as follows (see Senate
Journal twentieth session, page 6s):
"Mr. President:-Your committee on
mines and mining have had assembly
bill No. 7 (the eight-hour billy under
consideration and beg leave to report
INTENTIONALLY ON THE SAME
WITH THE RECOMMENDATION
THAT 1T DO NOT PASS.
"(Signed) T. j. BELL,
Chairman
Anyone who will consult the records
of the recent Democratic state conven-
held at Tonopah will discover that our
good Democratic friends honored L.
j. Bell by electing him chairman OF
that convention. Is Tom Bell of Nye
county, one Of the best and truest-
hearted of men, as all those who know
him will admit, irrespective of party,
AN ENEMY OF LABORs WAS HE
AN ENEMY OF LABOR WHEN HE
REPORTED THAT BILL UNFAVOR-
ABLY WITH THE RECOMMENDA-
TION THAT 1T DO NOT PASS?
Has the Democratic party of Nevada
denounced him as it has Flanagan for
voting against that eight hour act in
the form it was then presented?
Has it denounced Senator Jackson,
at that time one of Senator NewIands'
strongest henchmen, for voting against
it'll
Has it denounced Senator Green, of
White Pine county, for voting against
it, one Of the stalwarts of Democracy
from the eastern part of the statel
Has it denounced Senator Pitt of
Humboldt county for voting against
it, one of the shining lights of Demo
cracy of the center of the state2
No! These Democrats who voted
against that measure at that time are
all high in the confidence and ranks
Of the party at this present election.
Only Flanagan has been denounced. and
that by the pretsnse that he voted
against the present eight-hour law.
We are generous enough even to say
that like Senator Bell, they each and
all are friendly to labor and favorable
to the eight-hour law that subsequently
passed.
They voted against assembly bill No.
7, of the twentieth session of the Ne
vada legislature for the same reason
that Flanagan did, because the commit

dorses the Republican national plat
form adopted at Chicago, and endorses
the candidacy of William Fl. Taft and
James s. Sherman for president AMI
vice president of the United States.
We point with pride at the excellent
administration of President Roosevelt,
and we feel assured that his firm

state convention of the Republican,
party at Goldfeld. and we pledge our

of all the principles enunciated, and
the actions recommended therein.
We commend the acts of United
States Senator George s. Nixon IN the
senate of the United States.
We heartily endorse the candidacy
of Hon. P. L. Flanagan, of Washoe
county, for United States senator as "A

people, able, competent, sincere and
honest, and in every way qualified to
represent us in Washington. We be

We endorse the candidacy of Col. H..

the state of Nevada in the national
house of representatives.
We endorse the entire Republican
state ticket, and submit to the voters
of Humboldt county that they are

This convention Of the Republican
party of Humboldt county stands
aghast at the imprudent and extrava
giant policies that have characterized
the present administration of the
county, and presenting a condition cf
the fragrant waste of the public moneys.
We condemn the acts of the county

We charge that the practice of such

We pledge our candidates or county

FORTUNA ORE SHOWS
RICH IN FREE GOLD
SAN BE2NARDlN0 MINE THAT
is PROMISING
New Strike Is Reported Thirty Miles
East of VictorvllIe on the
Wheeler War Eagle
Group

Sinking a shaft on the Fortuna mine
near Victorville. in San Bernardino
county, the Dry Lake Mining and Mill
ing company, composed largely of Los
Angeles people, is in ore running from
$50 to $50 a ton and has been of pay
ing free milling ore all the way down.
A. P. Preciad, president of the COM
pany, has returned to Los Angeles on
a business trip and will return to push
the work of development.
The shaft is now down 1850 feet and
the rich ore is at this depth. The shaft
will be sunk 500 feet and at this depth
prosecuting will begin. The ore that
has SO far come from the shaft has
been treated through three stamp
mill and has contributed the expense
of development.
A new hosting plant has just been
installed. When the depth is reached
and prosecuting reaches the ore that
seems certain, new ten stamp mill
will be put up.
Mr. Preciad reports strike at Eagle
City, San Bernardino county. about
thirty miles east of Victorville. Dan
Wheeler, owner of the War Eagle
group seems to have struck a big
proposition in gold, silver and copper.
The shaft on the War Eagle Is in $50
feet and in drifting on the ledge the
hanging wall has not been met. Many
other good prospects are in the same
region, but the War Eagle seems to
have the biggest values.

TAILINGS AND SHINES PAY
WORK OF CONCENTRATOR

RENO, June 14.-Manager Herbert
of the Nevada Concentrator company
has arrived in Reno with some samples
of concentrates from old failing
ponds in Silver City canyon and the
old Douglass mill at Dayton. The
concentrator has been set up at differ
ent spots on failing ponds that so far
have proved refractory and impossible
to work, either by ordinary concentrat-
ing processes or by cyanide.
At the Douglass pond 100 tons of
tailings were run through the machine.
The net product was IS ounces of
amalgum from the bed of the old pond
and 1879 pounds of quicksilver. A sack
full of old bolt rivets, bits of brass
machinery, nails, screws and all sorts
of small fotsam from a big mill was
saved in addition.
On pond in Silver City canyon the
contents OF which assay 20 cents per
cubic yard $4,000 tons were run
through as a test. The concentrates
are valued at $3.50 a ton, but the
large amount of material that must be
handled to recover values makes the
proportion so high that the pond will
not pay to work. The run was made
simply to test the machine.
From another pond We're recovered
some interesting things, showing the
lax methods of milling of early Com
stock days. Bits of bullion, from an
ounce to 10 ounces in weight, were re-
covered from the depths of the retain
ing pond. Bullion to the value of nearly
800 was recovered from this one pond
in a run of about 100 tons of tailings.
The bullion was in addition to the
concentrates that went $500 ton.

"SH0RTY" HARRIS MAKES
STRIKE AT WRIGHT'S PASS
San .Bernardino Has New Camp That
Is Attracting Rush of Pros
pectors-Free Gold in
Big Value

SAN BERNARDINO, June 14.-Rich
gold strikes have been made in a re-
gion of volcanic formation about ten
miles east of Wingate pass in what is
known as the Hidden Springs region.
Shorty" Harris, one of the best known
prospectors in all the desert section, is
the fortunate discoverer. Already a
rush to the new field has commenced
and the outlook is for one of the big
gest and best paying camps in the
county to be developed.
The ore Is said to carry free gold In
extraordinary values, but there are
some among the mining men who have
seen the ore samples and talked with
Harris who declare in their opinion the
find will not amount to much, at
least not in the near future. Among
those holding this opinion is John Stu
key of johannesburg.
Stukey has just come in from that
section. He met Harris at Stovepipe
Springs. Harris displayed his ore and
described the lay of the ledge. Stukey
admits that the samples are rich, but
states that they are not any more so
than what can be obtained in small
quantities at many points throughout
the vast Death Valley mineral belt.
So far little development work has
been done. Almost every prospector in
the field is busy locating and tracing
the veins of gold-bearing rock. Lack
of water has already been experienced
and Is the most serious drawback the
prospectors are facing. The new field
can be reached by a good wagon road
from Panamint or Goldfield or by way
of either Daggett or Barstow.

NEEDLES TRAVELLERS
TO HAVE NEW WELL
Thirty-one Miles of Desert to Be Re-
lIeved for the Thirsty-Hank's
Well to Be Second
Stop

Needles is famous in more ways than
one. 1t has water and plenty of II,
because it is located on the Colorado
river. 1t is the base of supply for a
large mining country to the south
ward, both in Arizona and California.
Now, supply trains and others leaving
that city with the sharp-pointed name
have to travel southwark thirty-one
miles before they can reach water and
camp. Next morning they tramp on
nine miles farther to the Whipple
mountain district and there, heretofore,
they have had to drink storage water,
for at Whipple mountain copper and
gold mine and other properties in that
neighborhood have had to haul water
from Hanks well, eighteen miles, go
ing and returning. Recently pure water
was discovered in the shaft of the
Whipple mountain mine, and the long
haul for HO. in the future will be
eliminated together with big bunch
of expense.
The authorities of San Bernardino
county, alert to desert needs, are dig
ging a we'll about midway between
Hanks we'll and the Needles, so that
the thirsty traveller and his beasts will
not have to go so far in the future
for water. However, fifteen miles be-
tween drinks is a long way at that. es-
pecially for Needles and desert tray
elers.
Los Angeles people and the natives
generally would not mind it.

CANANEA WILL RESUME
PRODUCTION OF MILLIONS
Under New Regime, with Million
Dollars In Improvements, Will
Make Annual Output of
Fifty Millions

GUAYMAS, June 14-The Cananea
Consolidated Copper company has OBJ
tanned important concessions from the
federal government and under these
concessions work will be resumed at
that camp by June 10. With this re-
sumption will come a renewal of ore
shipping and of the life and business
of that once important Sonora city.
Since the mines have been shut down
the company has spent more than
81, 000,0 900 in improvements and repairs
and when the work is begun again the
furnaces and transmitters will be abb
solutely new, the company having had
more than 1000 men at work steadily
on these changes
The reconstructed smelter now has
capacity of 5000 tons daily, without re-
curing more than half the number of
workmen formerly employed. Not only
will the improvements cut down the
amount of labor required, but the
treatment cost will be vastly reduced,
and in Cananea the world will have
one of the most modern of the much
heralded examples of economy in pro-
duction cost, making copper profitable
even at the low prices at which 1t is
at present quoted, although 1t is not
expected to stay at the low figure.
The management expects to be able
to produce 50000,000 pounds of copper
per year at a cost of IL cents or less
the pound, delivered in New York.

who has been active in that district
since the first excitement early this
year. Mr.. Dargin Is in Los Angeles on
business and is "a guest at the Hollen-
beck, where he has an abundant supply
of samples from the shaft of the Midas
Gold Mining company running $500 to
the ton.
Gold Circle is the district of which
Midas is the municipal center and now
has about 1000 men at work on leases
and prospecting. There are ffty-six
leases at work, says Mr.. Dargin, and of
them probably those in the best ore
are Gift, Creighton and Roundtree
lease on the Gold Crown No. 2. This is
in high grade gold ore with a large
percentage of silver-running altogether
over 800. Bird and Teacy are sacking
ore from their lease on Frazier creek,
and this ore is running $4,000 ton.
II saw five Sacks" said Mr.. Dargin,
that contained ore worth $1,000 a SACK
The deepest work in the district is at
the Gold Crown, where the shaft is
eighty feet. Development is proving
the district and the ore is showing all
the characteristics of Goldfleld bonanza
rock, and to many good judges has
been mistaken for IL.
One of the needs of the district is a
stamp mill, and Willard Snyder of Salt
Lake City has bought stamp mill and
expects to have 1t erected within sixty
days.
Another thing of interest to the dis
trict is the purchase by Philadelphia
traction magnates of the Golconda hot
springs hotel for $150.000 and an an
nounced purpose to improve the prop
erty and make the springs, famous for
their curative waters, like Hot Springs,
Ark, q resort for the west. There is
also talk of trolley line between Col
conda and Midas. At present stages
and automobiles are the methods of
transportation between the points.
The Midas Property
Speaking of the Midas Mr.. Dargin
says the shaft is down about seventy
feet and is now in the rich ore of which
he brought large samples. Assays at
this depth have shown $4,000 in value,
but the general run is about 500 at this
depth. The shaft, he says, has been
