SPARKS NOW
LOOMS AS STRONG MAN

CURED a rebuke from the president but
he gained his point. He got the troops
and Nevada enjoyed peace. and Follow
ing IL all has come a means for protect
ing the state from a conflict Of b and
capital toward which IL was rapidly
drifting. Retrospectively IT appears to
have been a most carefully devised plan,
successfully carried out. and Governor
Sharks deserves the encomiums he Is re-
ceiving.
The one danger in the new constabu-
larry bill is the peril that lies in giving
one man great power. When the pres
emit charter of San Francisco was
adopted objection was raised that IL the
city should ever elect a bad mayor very
bad consequences would ensue. BAD
commissions would be appointed and the
city would be looted. And that Is just
what did happen. So long as there was
a prudent man in the mayors chair the
new charter proved most beneficial, put
as soon as an imprudent, avaricious man
was placed in power his authority under
the charter was used for wicked pur-
noses and a scandalous state OF anairs
ensued. And so 1t might be In Nevada
Governor Sparks will not misuse the
state c~onstabuiary. but he might not De
reelected. In the next campaign his OPP
ponent will be probably an alleged rep
resentative of labor, and as there are
many working men in the state. he might
be found a formidable competitor, who'
IL elected, might become dangerous TO
the best interests of the state. Work
ingmen are not always good judge OF
their champions. Many honest men be-
lieved In Schmitz who are now sorry
they voted for him. Again, so 1t might
be in Nevada. And 1t now behooves the
people Of that state to look to their po-
litical fences. Governor Sparks service
has rome far to rehabilitate him, but In
the background turks ar enemy.-Min-
ing and Engineering Review.

The big 100 stamp mill at Blair. which
is said to be the most u~p-to-date reduc-
ton plant in the world. is working ores
from the Pi~ttsburg-Silver Peak dump.
which averages about $40 on the plates,
says the Tonopah Miner. 1t is estimated
that there are so, 900 tons of ore on the
different dumps, I'M half that quantity
is broken down in the different slopes
and levels. The mill is running but 60
stamps at present. but the other 40 will
soon be in operation. 1t is estimated
that there are $4,000 tons of ore on the
different dumps, and half hat quantity
is broken down in the different slopes
and levels. The mill Is running but so
stamps at present, but the other 40 will
soon be in operation. 1t is estimated
that when the 100-stamp mill is run
ming to its full capacity 1t will net
$4,000 a day. The cyanide plant Is not
yet ready for work. but the shines are
being saved. In this great mine fully
1900. 900 tons OF pay ore are in sight.
On the 12-foot level an ore shoot IL feet
wide has been proven up in the sui

NEWS FROM BULLFROG DISTRICT

The Montgomery Shoshone shipped
five bars Of bullion. weighing 5000
ounces to Selby. Thursday. No state
ment is given out as to it's value, bu.
estimating bullion in this form at con-

amount to between $50, 900 and $50. 900.
A telephone message from Fred War
burton, cashier of the Bullfrog Bank
and Trust company, at Beatty. states
that N. Culver. Joseph Biddlecoma and

of the ore was $3.50 a ton gross.

OLD DOLLY WARDEN
LOOKS GOOD TO HIM

F.. A. Herrel, who for the past eight
years has been an enthusiastic believer
in the possibilities of the Dolly Warden
country, rs the making of one of the
principal copper and gold producing
sections of the state, came in from there
yesterday to attend to some business
here.
In speaking Of the general outlook of
the Dolly Warden country at present, he
says that in doing the assessment work
this fall on many of the claims. some
exceptionally good showings of gold and
copper ores have been made. On the BIZ
Metallic group, of which he is the prin-
cipal owner. in driving a tunnel, which
was already in several hundred feet, an
additional SO feet, two good, big lodges
Of iron ore, carrying c~halcopyrite cop
per and gold values, were encountered.
He further said:
John A. Magnuson. of Ely, has three
men working in a 60-foot shaft on the
east side of the range, near the Moore
C McAulay property, and at present the
bottom Of the shaft is in good copper
ore, carrying some values in gold.

were forced to quit work last fall, on
account of water. The bottom of the
shaft, when work was suspended. was
coming into good copper ore. which was
disseminated all through the iron sui
phides. They were anxious to get down
with the shaft as fast as possible. to
determine the extent of this body Of
ore"
When asked that the Millick boys are
doing on their Osceola group of silver
lead claims in the eastern part of the
Dolly Warden district. Mr.. Herrel said
tina they were all at work taking out
ore shipment; that in every hole in
which they had worked they found ship
ping ore, and now nave carloads of high
grade silver-lead ore on the dumps ready
for shipment to the first smelter that
will buy 1t. The boys have the making
of one OF the best silver-lead mines in
the country.
Whenever the McGill smelter gets
ready to blow in. 1t need not want for
iron ore with which to flux. The Dolly
Warden and Mizpah districts can pro-
vide 1t with all the iron ore, carrying
values in copper and gold. that it will

Governor Sparks of Nevada has signed
the constabulary bill passed by the leg
isiature. and IT is. therefore. now a law
of the state. A request has been made
Of the president to permit the troops
now in Goldneld to remain until the new
state police force provided for in the law
can be organized and placed in position
to act in ease of mergency. No doubt
the president. who has shown a DISPOSE
ton to lend temporary assistance In
maintaining peace. will grant this re-
quest. The troops In that event viii see
that there is no disturbance until the
police are installed. and therefore the
state will be amply able to take care OF
itself. This assures Nevada OF peace
and prosperity.
IL is said that Governor Sparks has
received a large number of congratula-
tory letters since the final enactment OF
the police law. Nothing succeeds like
success, and there Is no light so enul-
gent as the light of after events. When
the president was criticising the gov
ernor of Nevada for not being able to take
care of the states own affairs and for
calling up the nation to protect 1t
before there was any appearance of dan
ger, so far as the outside world knew
the public was disposed to censure. 1t
was said that the action of the governor
was ~ill-advised: that 1t was taken when
in his cups. and was inspired by mine
owners at a banquet. Representatives,
of labor declared that Governor Sparks
was influenced by the rich operators ana
was striving to break down the organiza-
ton of the Western Federation. But IL
now appears that the governors course
was precisely the right thing. AT a
critical time he did what served to pre-
vent a clash at Goldfeld that In all ike
lihood would have been followed py

at Cripple Creek FIVE years ago. He In
