WILL CONTROL NEW
SHELTER AT RENO

John Harmon and associates, men
Colorado and are now doing so much
toward developing the mineral re-
sources of Nevada, are going to erect
a smelter near Reno. Harmon is now
negotiating for a suitable site on the
eastern limits of Reno and 1t Is be-
lieved he will secure the site former
ly used by the Electric Smelter Com
pany. If the plans carry, work Is to
start Immediately and II is believed
that before the end of the year the
new plant will be in operation. Har-
non has arranged with J.. s. Loder
for the building of the plant and gas
Is to be used. The smelter was in
vented by Loder, has been thoroughly
tested and by many it is believed that
he has solved one of the most ex-
pensive problems in the mineral in
For several months the Harmon
people have been investigating the
merits of the plan and have called
some of the best known mill men in
the country to their aid. As a result
they have arranged to make an init
ial expenditure of 100000 on the
enterprise If necessary. The success
Of the proposed plant means enamel
patton from the power Of the smelter
trust in Nevada.
G. G. Logan, for n long time in
charge of the mills of the Tonopah
Nevada Mining Company and recog-
nized as an authority on smelling
problems. was called to assist in the
Investigation. Logan is in no way
interested in the success or failure
Iof the process.-State journal.

MINER FOUND IN
DYING CONDITION

Benjamin Martin, Familiarity known
about the city as Ben" Martin"
died suddenly at the Carson Ex-
change hotel last evening after an
Illness of four days. Four days ago
Martin was found on the Indian
school road in an unconscious condi-
ton by Supt. Asbury of the school,
and brought to the capital. He re-
gained consciousness and was appar-
emily becoming better when last night
about $50 o'clock he suddenly grew
worse and died within a few min
utes.
The deceased was about 60 years
old and had been in this section for
years, coming here from st. Stanilas,
Province of Quebec, Canada. Before
his death he told those at his bedside
that he had four daughters and two
ions at the Canadian town. He did
not mention his wife and it is thought
that she is dead.
Martin owned rich mining property
in the Pinenut district and has work
ed it alone for eight or ten years.
The property adjoins the Zirm-
Schulz property where thousands of
dollars was taken out by the lucky
owners. Martin is known to have
left some money deposited with the
State Bank and Trust Company of
this city and also about $1,000 de-
posted with a San Francisco bank.
His friends also believe that he has
money and probably gold buried on
his mining property in the Pinenut
district.
He was taken i'll while at work
there alone and started to the city
and was overcome while en- route and
fell from his wagon, later being dis.
covered by Mr.. Asbury and brought
here. Members of the family at st
Stanislas will be communicated witt
at once.-Carson News.

OWNED A MILLION;
DIDN'T KNOW IT

Artie Langan, soldier of fortune,
journalist. mining man and promoter,
stood on 1000, 900 ten months ago
and didn't know it until within the
past few weeks. At that time, in
company with Chris Fagenspen, the
millionaire brewer of Newark, n. j.,
and Bud Hauser, he was making a
trip in an automobile from Tonopah
to the then booming Wonder district.
When on the exact site of what is
nov Rawhide, their machine broke
down and for more than an hour they
were stranded over what has since
proved to be a treasure vault. Two
p%rospectors were working about a
half mile away at the time. The
prospectors came to the aid of the
disabled travellers and while the au-
tomobile was being repaired they dis
played several samples Of ore.
This is pretty good stuff" said
one of the p~rospectors. 1T is getting
better as we approach this way and
| believe we are going to make a big
strike"
Perhaps this is just as good as
we will find at Wonder. Let us camp
here and stake out a few claims,
suggested Langan.
But the party was intent upon get
ting into Wonder and the idea was
voted down.
Three months later Langan met
one of those two prospectors in Reno.
He came with the real ore this time
and Rawhide had been discovered.
That mine is worth a million dol
lars said Langan, ~yesterday. II
could have had it by simply placing
a notice on the ground ten months
ago. That's why l say | stood on
and virtually owned a million dollars
one time and at the moment did not
think | had more than a hundred
dollars in all the world. But such Is
the life of a mining man."-State
Journal.

ROSEBUD NOW DOWN
TO REAL MINING


William Beeler and wife stopped
over in Winnemucca Saturday on
their way from Rosebud to Gold
Circle.
Mr.. Beeler speaks enthusiastically
of Rosebud, and gives 1t out that ia
his opinion nor actual mining is be-
ing done there and more has been
done in the last thirty days, than in
any like period of time since the dis
coyery of the camp. This is remark
able, he says, in the face of the gen-
eral belief that there is very little
going Of at Rosebud.
The Sulphur country is proving up
well, and this section bids fair to be
the producing section of the Rosebud
district. J.. r. Mann, leaser of the
Durango Girl property, is now sink
ing on a fve-foot ledge, from which
picture ore in small quantities is be-
ing taken.
Cockrell and Ford, old p%rospectors
in this section, are engaged in extern
sive work on their ground. They re-
Gently reported a strike of $40 ore.
The discovery was in a ive-foot ledge
which is traceable for about a claim
length.
The Sunnyside group, owned by
McCullen and McCloud. is showing
up we'll and they are at present sink
ing on a five-foot ledge in which a
high grade ore shoot was discovered
last month.
On the Mystic and Hillside groups

SITUATION AT RUBY hill.
Resumption Depends Upon Action or
Utah SmelteIS.

The situation on Ruby Hill regard
ing the closing down of the mines of
the Richmond-Eureka Company re-
mains about the same. While a
number Of the men laid of at that
time have left for other camps, 4
majority of the employees OF the com
pany have remained with the expec-
tation that work will be resumed
again soon.
1t seems the proposition of a pro-
longed close-down depends in a great
measure on the outcome OF the
trouble of the United States Mining
G. Smelling Company Of Utah and the
farmers there regarding the poison
Gus fumes emitted from it's smelters.
If some satisfactory agreement IS
not reached between the ~contending
parties. the smelling company will
shut down its smelling plant at Bling
ham, Utah., indefinitely on January
20, in compliance with the pending
court Observation-Disclosures Sentinel.

Horn Silver
On Reservation

e. G. Watson OF Nina has received
a number of samples from the MARI
view mine, five miles from Thorne,
which have been submitted to "a To-
cal assayer with most gratifying re-
suits. The samples were taken from
the vein from two slopes on the CO.
foot level, where ore is being sacked.
The metallic contents are principally
silver, the gold running from four
tenths to one-half ounce to the ton.
OF twelve samples, the silver contents
were as follows: Ounces per ton,
106,45.1, All, 104.60, "a, 10, AS,
$50, 220, SO, and 16S.
The vein has Strengthened up and
is about eighteen inches wide in the
face, but that is much stronger in
the bottom of the drift and the values
are better and more regular than
they have yet been.
The Marlview was located on the
opening day of the Reservation, in
October, 1906, by Captain T. w.
Webb and associates. A rich vein of
horn silver was followed down from
the surface for a distance of 60 feet
on an incline of As degrees, and the
former owner shipped from this
work a cotton lot of ore which netted
them a trihe over $1,000. In drifting
on the vein it has Strengthened up
almost to the perpendicular.

be into the camp within the next ten
days. 1t will include both telephone
and telegraph. The connection with
this line will be made at Sand
Springs. This will give Rawhide di-
rect wire communication with Reno,
and through that point with the en-
tire civilized world.
F. f. Lowry is also at Rawhid3,
and is bringing the wire in from
Schurz. He says that he will have
this line completed in thirty days,
giving Rawhide a competing tele-
graph line, and later. another tele-
phone line. This is rushing things
into Rawhide with a vengeance.
Volney Leonard of Fairview ar
rived in Rawhide on Monday. and
bought a lot on the Main street for
$1,000, and says that he will have a
bank in the camp inside of two
weeks. This is one OF the best moves
vet, as the establishment Of a bank
will facilitate business to the great
est possible extent.
