BOND PROPOSITIONS ARE
DECISIVELY DEFEATED
Returns So Far Indicate that the Special Election to Vote
County Bonds, Resulted in Emphatic Negative
Vote on Propositions.

The special election, held through
out Beltrami county yesterday to
vote upon the proposition of issuing
bonds in the sum of $195,OOO for the
purpose of securing money with
which to pay the outstanding float
ing indebtedness of the county; and
also to vote upon the proposition of
issuing bonds in the sum of $4,000
to raise money with which to lay
out, build and improve public high
ways in Beltrami county, were
undoubtedly overwhelmingly de-
feated, Judging from the returns
received from several precincts early
today.
That the propositions would both
be defeated was generally conceded
by those who were we'll informed in
the situation. There appeared to be
an especial antipithy against issu-
ing the bonds and in many precincts
NO" was registered with such en-
phasis as to constitute a unanimous
negative vote.
The voters in the Town of Grant
Valley we're especially against the
bonds and registered forty-nine votes
against the proposition for taking up
the floating indebtedness and forty
seven against the road proposition.
In the Town of Bemidji, one indi-
vidual voted in favor of proposition
No. 1, while forty-one voted no.
Two were in favor of proposition No.
2, and forty-two voted against.
In the city of Bemidji the vote

MASON VALLEY COPPER
Mine GETS GOOD
SEND-OFF

One of the greatest copper fields in the
world will be in evidence in year or
two in that immense district of which
Yerington seems to be the center. The
copper belt has been traced into this
county for a score of miles south OF
Luning and Nina. Wherever work has
been done ore running from Q to as high
as 20 per cent in copper and few dol
lars in gold and silver. has been found.
1t is of better grade than what is mined
at Butte. Around Yerington high-grade
copper ore has been mined for twenty
years. There was nothing sensational
about the values, but the immense strike
made few weeks ago on the Mason
Valley Copper Mining company's ground
is bound to attract the attention of the
entire mining world on account of its
immensity. 1t is a close corporation
that is controlled by George Green of
Salt Lake, and Thompson, Heyden &
Stone of New York City.
w. A. Johnson, a mining engineer who
makes his headquarters in Goldfeld, re-
turned from the Mason Valley yesterday,
where he inspected several properties
for clients. He is one of the real ex-
perts who has been in the business for
the past twenty years. For years he was
in the employ of the Guggenheims, Civ
ing particular attention to copper mines
There can be no mistake about the
ore in Mason Valley" he said last night
to Tribune reporter. About three
miles southwest of Yerington is the big
gest mine l ever saw for the amount of
work done. At depth of $50 feet the
dyke has been crosscut, and there is
showing Fl feet of ore that assays in
copper from 10 to 20 per cent. Along
side is feet of phenomenally rich stuff
that runs from IS to so per cent. Some
of it would run even higher, as it carries
few dollars in gold and silver. Richer
ore might have been mined in the Lake
Superior country, on the Calumet and
Hecla, but it was in the shape of big
boulders that were found on the surface.
The find is bound to give an immense
incentive to those who own ground in
the belt, and money for development
work ought to be easy to get. Gold

SYNDICATE BUYS
ROCKLAND MINE
More Money For This
District.

A Chicago corporation, known as the
Goldfeld Syndicate Mining company. has
purchased the Nevada Rockland mine
and will soon have a force of men at
work. This place is up the East Walker
and has already produced something like
500, 600. The Goldfcid Review says:
The Goldfeld Syndicate paid $40, 900
for a one-half interest in the Rogers-Syn-
dicate lease, and will realize about Sl25.-
600 in profits from the venture The
new property which the company takes
over is mine with fine record of pro-
duction, having been owned at one time
by former Governor Blaisdell of Nevada.
1t is on Sugar Loaf mountain, twenty
five miles east of the east base of the
Sierra Nevada range, and has an eleva-
ton of 7 900 feet. 1t is twenty-five miles
from the old camp of Bodie, California,
and four miles from the famous Wheeler
and Wilson mine at Pine Grove. Wa
buska, on the I. & G. railroad is the
railroad station, forty-two miles distant,
the splendid wagon road leading through
the fertile Mason Valley.
THE ores of the Nevada Rockland are
gold and silver, the yellow metal afford
ing two-thirds of the values. Seven
thousand feet of work has been done un-
derground, and there is vast tonnage
of ore available which will run from SO
to Sl2 per ton. The mine is opened by
tunnels and there is ample water devel-
oped and piped to the mill to run the
plant. The mill can be easily changed
to a process suitable for the ores"
The Rockland has been badly managed
in the past and we are pleased to know
that it has at last become the property of
mining men with means to operate.

Brighter Outlook for Copper

The copper market gives signs of re-
viving. Producers are holding their
stocks firm, with every indication that
their faith will be rewarded by an early
advance in the price of the red metal.
The production has been kept down to
the smallest possible figure during the
last six months, and stocks of the metal
have been cleared up by the actual de-
mand from industrial sources. The
Amalgamated has fixed the selling price
at Is cents, which allows a fair margin
for the big companies. The supply has,
decreased during the current year by the
withdrawal of 37S, 10000 pounds that
were taken for export. This is bound to
impart a healthier tone TO the market
and permit some of the more economical
companies to resume the lifting of ore.
In Nevada the effect will be instant
aneous through the starting of the Step
toe smelter and the development of the
incredibly rich deposits of the Mason
Valley which, with little encourage
ment, will furnish employment to sew
eral thousand men. The copper output
of the United States at the present time
is less than 40 per cent of what it showed
at this time last year. The Amalgama-
ted Copper company has cut its output
to !, 900, 900 pounds per month, as COM
pared to 100000 pounds, its usual
rate of production. The years output
for the United States, Canada and Mex
leo will be in the neighborhood of S37,-
090, 900 pounds. as compared to 9l6, 600,
| 600 pounds in 1906. -Goldfield Tribune.

Reno has one of the neatest Clubs in
the west. The new Reno Commercial
Club has opened its rooms in the new
Odd Fellows Temple and is certainly
credit to that city. The Club acts as a
chamber of commerce and publicity bureau
and furnishes its members with card and
billiard rooms, bar, writing and lounging
rooms, and has sleeping apartments for
those who wish them. 1t is intended as
Reno home for all business men from
all over the state and one can be non
resident member at very small cost.
Alex. ]. McCone is President of the Board
of Directors and one of those solid busi-
ness men that it is pleasure to meet.
Yerington would do we'll to follow the
example of Reno, on smaller scale of
course.
Even newspapers make mistakes. The
Carson News has half column article
about a race against death made by Mr.,
and Mrs. Charles Meisner, of Yerington.
The article is copied generally by the
state press. The News has Mrs. John
son dieing in San Francisco, when she
and her brother, Charles Meisner, were
in the auto and went to Reno where
their brother, Herman Meisner, had been
taken sick while en- route to San Fran
cisco.
Among some simple rules for the hot
weather we find the following, which we
would recommend to the city council

trust they will be pleased with their new
home.

big gun at Mason City, spent the most
of this week in Yerington. He seems
we'll pleased with the progress being
made both at the mine and the new
townsite.

GRANITE IS MAKING
HISTORY

The 133d birthday of our national in
dependence has come and gone. Busi-
ness has once more been resumed and
things have generally taken on their
usual proportions. All of the leasers and
miners have returned, and again the
ringing of the anvil and the explosion of
the dynamite is heard along the Big 20
and the Golden Age claims and the adj
joining properties. This week has been
one of history for Granite. Twenty-Five
men working on the road to the Big 20
rushing to get ready for the shipments
which have started this week. Ore sacks
are being piled up daily on the new
wagon road which is built within 500
feet of the leases. This puts Granite no
longer in the prospect class, but one of
Nevada's producing mining camps. AS
say returns are coming in showing gold
values from $40 to $500 per ton.
In the east drift of the Graham and
Brooks lease is feet of ore which was
considered too-low grade to ship. Assay
returns received this week show this en-
tire 6-foot ore body to run $31. 40 in
gold
Another thing which marks the in
crease of interest taken in this camp is
the presence of mining men on the ledge
almost daily. Notwithstanding the c,
treme hot weather, they are tramping
the hills and are wild with excitement
over the showings. A Mr.. Micklejohn
of Goldfeld has been in Granite and
Mountain View for the past FIVE days
sampling and looking over the proper
ties. The third day he was in the dis
trict he wired his people to come at once.
That the showings were much better
than he expected to see and that the
camp had not been overestimated.
The leases on the Stainboo ledge, adj
joining the town, are looking fine and
will cut the ledge any day. Already
several stringers have been cut which
pan fine.
Mr.. Beer is sacking ore on the prop
erty owned by Mr.. Willis and himself.
just north of town.
The big tunnel continues to move into
the hill, and from mining standpoint
Granite never looked better. And we
are pleased to report progress.
