kawhide, New, August Golf ever a
Nevada mining camp had an early day
production record the equal of that
established by Rawhide its merits have
not come under the observation of YOU
representative; and he has assisted at
the ceremonies attendant upon the
birth Of every camp of prococious
promise to quicken on the desert since
jim Butler and Tonopah discovered
each other. There have been a number
of camps within the borders of the
"~Sagebrush state" whose early day
achievements Were more loudly heralded
and more generally credited than are
those of Rawhide, but none where gold
and glory were so closely associated at
the same stage Of development. For
the matter of that, there be no other
camp in the entire country where a like
amount of real mining has been accom-
plished in the same amount of time.
Thirty-nine Leases in Ore
1t is considerably less than a year
since the initial shipment from the
camp was made by the Grutt brothers.
That shipment, it will be remembered,
consisted of 5000 0 worth of ~gold-laden
quartz which was grubbed out with the
sagebrush on the west slope of the hill
that bears their name. Commercially
valuable ore is now exposed at thirty,
nine different workings in the Rawhide
district. By commercially valuable ore
is meant the sort of ore which can be
mined and milled, or smelted at profit
to the shippers. Heading this list of in
FAINT prodigies is the famous lease of the
Grutt Hill Mint company on the estate
of the Rawhide Coalition Mines com
pany, the Kearns No. 2 lease on the
Queen being second and the Kearns No.
l lease on the same estate, third.
The Honor List
In number of in-the-money leases the
estate of the Rawhide Coalition Mines
company easily ranks first. Aside from
the Mint block there are the Grutt Min
ing lease, the Grutt Coalition lease, the
Selover-Smith lease, the Miller lease,
the Burns lease, the Victor lease, the
Rawhide Avenue lease, the Stacy-Cul-
lom lease, the Murphy lease, the King
Hill lease and the leases being operated
on blocks Nos. 4 and 6 of the Happy
Hooligan claim. On the estate of the
Rawhide Queen Mines company there
are the Kearns No. i lease, the Kearns
No. 9 lease, the'Ogilvie- Reynolds lease,
the st. Ives lease, the Nat C. Goodwin
lease. the Pike Miksell lease, the Bal
loon Hill Dixie lease and the Bull Pup
lease. On the estate of the Rawhide
Consolidated Mines company there are
the Lillian lease, the Big Four lease and
the Murray lease. On the estate of the
Rawhide Mining company there is the
Morrissey lease. On the estate of the
Royal Tiger company there is the Stin-
son lease. On the estate of the Regent
Rector company there are the Waiter
Boys lease and the Mckinley lease. On
the Queen Mascot there is the Jordan

plant Is 5000 horse power, the second
1000, the third, now under construction,
5000. This will make a total of 10000
horse power to supply the mines and
other plants of Southern Nevada.

AUSTIN IS REAWAKENING
TO SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES

J.. A. Vincent, president of the Man
uel Mining company at Millett, was In
Austin Tuesday on his way to Chicago.
He was accompanied by A. IL. Brown,
mining engineer of Boulder, Colo, who
has been at Millett for some time out
lining a plan for the extensive develop
ment of that excellent property.
This company has already made sew
eral shipments of high grade ore, but
President Vincent is anxious to install
reduction works at the mine, and has
taken up the question of the Eethod of
ore treatment already.
Mr.. Brown has been at Goldfield for
some time where he served a number of
the larger companies as consulting en-
g%ineer.
Will Be gin Work
Another property in the heart of the
richest producing section of Austin is
slated to begin operations at an early
date. The property in question is the
Bank claim formerly belonging to Geo
E. Crowen, which was purchased this
week by the Nye & Lander County
Brokerage company.
The claim consists of 20 acres and
Joins the Samson claim on the west. Or
the Samson claim is where the Unior
shaft is situated. through which some

by the Austin Manhattan Mining com
pany and it is under their new program

MANY MINES AND LEASES
in RAWHIDE PRODUCING
(By William p. De Wolf, Special Representative of The News)

will, nevertheless, be operative before
the close of the present year, and will
prove a valuable auxiliary to the min
ing industry. Through its medium the
freight haul from Rawhide to the main
line of the Southern Pacific company
will be somewhat cheapened, and will be
decidedly more rapidly accomplished.
1t will also afford quick transportation
of ores to the Truitt plant, and other
mills which will doubtless be erected in
due course of time along the banks of
Walker river in the vicinity of Sehurz.
The graders have established a camp
within a mile of Rawhide, and are at
at present engaged in grading around
Grutt and Balloon hills. 1t is expected
that traek-laying will begin early in
September. and that the entire job will
be completed by the middle of Novem.
Der.
Average Grade of Ores
After a careful computation, based
upon data secured at the various com
pany and lessee workings, your CORE
spondent estimates the average value OF
the milling ores of this camp-$5O per
ton, or less-as being $50 the ton. The
deduction is considered conservative by
local mining men. The following figures
are offered as being Indicative of the
grades of ore which are classed in the
milling division here. Kearns No. !
lease, $40 per ton; Kearns No. 2 lease,
$40 per ton; st. Ives lease, s25 per ton;
Ogilvie-R Reynolds lease, $25 per ton;
Morrissey lease, $25 per ton; Tarantula,
$50 per ton; Grutt Hill Mint lease, $50
per ton; Grutt Hill Coalition lease, $40
per ton; Miller lease, $2s per ton;
blocks 4 and s on the Happy Hooligan,
$22.50 per ton; Owl No. / lease, $50 per
ton; Rawhide Avenue lease, $50 per ton;
Rawhide Victor leases 25 per ton; Big
Four lease, $22 per ton; Murray lease,
500 per ton; Lillian lease, 500 per ton;
Waiter Boys lease, $3s per ton; Mckin-
ley lease, $50 per ton; Stinson lease, $35
per ton; I. X. L. group, $24 per ton;
Bluff Hoodlum, $26 per ton.
Grade of Shipping Ores
There is no portion of the shipping
ore sent out from Rawhide that has a
value much below 800 the ton, the
general average topping rather than
dropping below that figure. The
Kearns No. . ore is usually settled for
on a basis of 5000 per t~on-$29S.5o to
be exact. Kearns No. ] ore nets abont
$3.50 per ton. Jordan lease ore nets
from 5000 to 81 900 per ton. Grutt Hill
Mint ore runs from 1925 to the thou
sands of dollars per ton. Grutt Hill
Coalition averages better than 500 per
ton. Big -Four ore tops the 500 mark,
as does likewise that sent out from the
Murray and Lillian leases. Blocks Ms.
4 and 6 on the Happy Hooligan claim
of the Rawhide Coalition company send
out $50 per ton rock. The Miller lease
is producing a generous tonnage of $l25
per ton quartz. The Stinson lease ore
nets better than 800 per ton, and that
from the Waiter Boys lease is settled
for on a basis of $3.50 per tor.

The smallest factory to start up is

places. But when a jar to prosperity

item, and the depressing effect of such
an announcement is therefore mitigat-
ed, and the public generally is not APP

is TO hide evidences of financial distress
from the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is always
the last to feel the effects of misgov-

litude of the New York press for some
time back has been remarkable. No
denunciation of Trusts is to be found,

none state the real cause. All try o

MIDNIGHT AT NOONDAY-PEOPLE TER
RoRIZED BY SUDDEN DARK
NESs-AWFUL ssToRM.
A dispatch from Wheeling, W. Va.
on Friday says: For several hours yes
terday Wheeling was in the grasp of a
terrific storm. Houses were struck by
lighting, trees were uprooted by the
strong wind, and hundreds of the peo-
pie in the big factories and department
stores were terrified, while in the coun-
try the people prayed, a report having
spread throughout the country region
that an earthquake was expected.
Negroes in the city prayed in the
streets, fearing the judgment day had
come.
Shortly after o'clock this morning
intense darkness settled over the city,
Street lights had to be lighted, and
traffic on the streets was brought to a
standstill. This lasted for ten minutes,
and this afternoon about l o'clock the
same phenomenon occurred, plunging
the city into midnight gloom again.
Two electrical storms swept over the
city after the darkness had lifted. The
residence of Charles Horstman was hit
by lighting and was partly demolished.
The large barns and stables of John
Hinkle, in Belmont county, Ohio, were
entirely destroyed by fire after being
struck. A farm house owned by Clar-
ence Sterd, was struck and Sterd was
rendered unconscious by the shock.

Senator Bryan Dead.

Washington, ID. c., March 23.-U. S.
Senator VIM. James Bryan of Florida,
died at Providence Hospital at $3.50
o'clock yesterday morning of typhoid
fever. Ii was only 10 days since he
took his seat as the successor of the late
Senator Stephen r. Mallory, who died
Dec. 23rd. Thirty-three days of that
time were spent in his fight against the
disease. Several times during Mr..
Bryan's illness his friends despaired of
his recovery but as late as last night
the report was given out that his con-
dition had taken turn for the better.
His death today, therefore, came as a
distinct shock. Mr.. Bryan was born
in Orange county, Florida, Oct. 10th,
1876. He attended the public schools
in his state and Emory College, Geor-
gia, graduating from the latter institu-
ton in 1896. Three years later he was
graduated from Washington and Lee
University and in 1899 began the prac-
tice of law in Jacksonville, Fla. Until
a short time before his appointment to
succeed Mr.. Mallory in the senate he
had served as solicitor of the Duval
county criminal court. He was mar
ried to Miss Janet Allen of Lexington,
who survives him.

$500 For Four Chickens.

A report from Kansas City, Mo-,
says: A shipment of four Orphington
chickens was today billed to Nine.
Ignace J. Paderewslki, at Morges,
Switzerland, by Ernest Keller-Strauss
for $500. The chickens were boxed
in crate just as ordinary chickens are
shipped, but they were insured for
their full value. The shipment was to
have been made February LIST, and sew
eral letters protesting against the delay
have been sent by the wife of the great
pianist, before today it was impossible
to have the insurance satisfactorily
fixed.
Lady Helen, Victoria and Crystel-
line, Jr., were three of the royal chick
ems shipped. Mr.. Keller-Straus refused
an offer of $1,000 made by Nine
Paderewski for another chicken.
