Destroyed BY Fire

The barn belonging to Phil Wolf
and located just west of the Bottling
Work, was totally destroyed by fire
Tuesday morning at $50. That a
serious confagration did not follow is
a miracle and was only prevented by
the valiant work of the volunteer
fremen. The wind was bio wing a
gale and by the time the hose carts
arrived the wooden structure was en-
veloped in flames and the adjoining
property was in danger of burning.
After half an hours hard fighting the
fire was gotten under control. Nj
Wolf states that the building and
its contents were valued at about
$500, which was a total loss.

Operators and Miners
Agree on New Scale

George Jordan, general manager
for the Seven Troughs Tom Boy Min
ing company and ce-president of
the Seven Troughs District Publicity
association, came in from Mazuma
yesterday on a short business trip.
Mr.. Jordan is more than enthusiastic
over conditions generally throughout
The big district and says the coming
season will see great revelation in
mining throughout the entire camp.
THE wage question, which has
been a retarding factor insofar as
extensive development is concerned"
said Mr.. Jordan, has been settled
and practically all of the mine oper-
ators in the district have signed the
new schedule. The new scale is
practically the same as that paid in
Tonopah and is, topmen and muckers,
Sd; miners, $4.25; shaftmen, $3.50;
blacksmiths, carpenters and all skilled
labor, $500. There is general salts
faction on all sides and the general
concensus of opinion among the op-
orators, miners and business men is
that the camp will experience a boom
unparalleled in the history of the
famous district. Since the question
in relation to wages was settled a
number of the larger properties have

BIG GOLD find
AT STAR PEAK
Immense Ledge Alive With
the Yellow Metal.
Prominent UniOnvilIe Man Says II Is
a Remarkable Find and Promises
to Be a World Beater...-BOnded to
California Capitalists.

Zone of the biggest strikes eyer
made on Star Peak and one which
promises to eclipse any yet found in
the state, was made by James and
Sidney Thornton and associates last
week." said 7. |. Powell of Unionville
to Tribune representative the fore
part of this week.
THE discovery" continued Mr..
Powell, ''is at the head of Colorado
Canyon some six miles southwest of
Humboldt House. The property was
located by the Thorntons last Novem-
ber and surface development has been
under way since. Some three weeks
ago. very rich shoot was broken in
to-. Development work was more
vigorously prosecuted and last week
at a depth of IL feet 4-foot ledge
of ore that carries values all the way
from $500 to $4,000 to the ton was
disclosed, while picked samples run
better than $4,000. The ledge at
the surface shows width of fully
seven feet and can easily be traced
for 5000 feet. The Thornton prop
erty is close to the famous Sheba
mine which is credited with producing
several millions of dollars and which
is now being operated by Michigan
capitalists. That the new find will
develop into a world beater, now
looks very bright and when the plans
for futher development are carried
out sensations may be looked for"
The Thornton claims are said to
have been taken over by H. A. Cohen
formerly consulting engineer for J
R. DeLamar, and one of the leading
experts in the country, who happened
early on the ground after the strike
was made.
The price called for by the boD'
is 100000 and under the terms hal
of that amount must be paid over il
cash at an early date.

Milwaukee men
BUY At JESSUP
Pay Big Price for Three
Choice Claims.
Strong Company Will Be Organized
and Active Development viii Start
at Once-.--CapltallStS Well Pleased
With ShOWlngS In New District.

Another important deal was closed
at Jessup this week. The transac-
tion involves three of the best claims
in the new district, and while the

time it is reported that several thous-
and dollars, besides a large block Of
stock, figured in the sale. The sale

waukee, Wis, capitalists.
F. A. Lang, Joseph A. Schunk and
Frank l.. Griebel, of Milwaukee, re-
Gently spent few days at Jessup
looking over the property and after
making thorough examination of
the same decided to close the deal at
once and did SO by making a sub.
stantial cash payment. Associated
with Messrs. Lang, Schunk and
Griebel is G. Often. also wealthy
capitalists of Milwaukee. The party
left the first of this week for San
Francisco on short business and
pleasure trip after which they will
return to their northern homes. Be-
fore leaving for the coast they were
interviewed by Tribune representa-
tive, and in one accord they spoke in
very high terms of the new district
and were not slow in expressing
their belief that it would only be a
matter of a very short time until the
Jessup district ranked with the best
in the state.
MIR. Lang stated that the prop
erty just taken over would form the
nucleus of new Company which will
be organized at once. The company
will be known as the White Canyon
Mining & Milling company, and Offices
will be maintained at both Milwaukee
and Jessup. As soon as arrange
ments can be perfected active de-
velopment work will be started and
there will be no cessation until the
ground is thoroughly exploited and
put on a paying basis. Development
work will be under the personal su-
pervision of Joseph Mackedon, the
well-known Lovelock mining operator.
