ROUND MOUNTAIN SPHINX.

The latest mining camp to attract at
tention is Jumbo, erstwhile known as
West Comstock. The district is situated
in Washoe county several miles south
of Washoe lake. For a number of years
prospectors have walked over the
ground and a little surface work has
been done, but it is only recently,
through the efforts of the Selby Consol-
idated Mining and Milling company,
that the values have been uncovered at
depth. The camp promises well. 1t al
ready has a newspaper, the Jumbo
Miner, published by Messrs. Harrington
& Sanford. Following are cuttings from
tho first issue:
CAMP WILL HAVE MIL
Jumbo is not long to be without mill
ing facilities. In fact, work will be
started before the end Of a month on a
reduction plant that would do credit to
any camp and which will be larger than
any ever installed in a place of its age.
The matter will be handled by the
Selby Consolidated people, who are now
carefully going over the details of the
proposition. While there is an immense
quantity of high grade ore available
that would bear the expense of trans
portation, there are still larger guam
titles of a lower grade that must be
milled on the property. The directors
are proceeding slowly and carefully, for
they are determined to select a type of
mill that is adapted to the treatment of
all classes of ore and which is at the
same time economical and efficient.
WATER SUPPLY ABUNDANT
Jumbo is more fortunate than any
other new camp heretofore developed
in the state in the matter of it's prox-
unity to water and electric power, or
vice versa. 1t has been the experience
Of every new mining town to drink
water Of indifferent quality hauled from
a great distance. The next step was
to go to a great expense to pipe the
same water in. While a sufficient guam
tity is sometimes obtained the quality
is seldom improved.

Arrangements have been made with
several mines in Tonopah to mill their
ores. This will enable the Tonopah
Belmont company to run their mill at
full capacity and at full time.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE VERY I'LL

John Sparks, governor of Nevada, is
a very sick man. He was taken to San
Francisco by his family a few days
ago in hope that his condition would be
bettered by the change, but the latest
reports are far from encouraging. III
the governor ecovers his strength he
will visit Texas, where he has valuable
landed interests, before returning to
Nevada. In the meantime Lieutenant-
Governor Dickerson is in charge Of the
affairs of state.

ing company has the surface rights to
40 different claims, or about 500 acres.
IL would be difficult to compute the
amount Of gold contained in this ground.
Based upon the tests that have been
made throughout the leasehold, the
figures are staggering.
ROUND MOUNTAIN DAISY.
Next to the Round Mountain Miniap
company, the Round Mountain Daisy
is probably the most promising mine in
the camp. IL stands second in the pro-
duction of bullion. One lease on this
estate. the Madigan, during the year
of it's life produced upwards of $780,
600 and no working on the leasehold is
greater than so feet in depth. Some
of the finest specimens that ever came
out Of a mine have been produced by
this property, one chunk of pure gold
being two inches through at it's least
dimension. Pocket after pocket was
found, each yielding several hundred
dollars.
Solid Gold lease on the property. George
A. Bartlett, congressman from Nevada,
is president of the company and every
man, woman and child in the state who
knows Mr.. Bartlett knows also that he
would not lend his name to any enter
prise that did not possess merit.
The Daisy company will also erect a
mill to work the Madigan lease. which
has forfeited through expiration of
time. The mill will be in operation
within six months.
ROUND MOUNTAIN ANTELOPE.
The first great sensation of the camp
was the discovery on the Antelope Of
q slab of pure gold weighing better
than $1,000. Within the past few weeks
a magnificent strike has been made on
this property by Paulsen & Blaisdell,
who are working a lease adjoining the
Bartlett & Travers lease. In the first
two shifts, after making the strike, two
sacks of specimen rock, running $1,000
to the sack, were taken out. The ledge
from which the rich ore was taken has
every evidence of permanency and will
be worked with feverish haste. Mrs.
Jack Stebbens was the locator of the
Antelope, which was one of the first
pieces Of ground taken up in the dis
trict.
The Bartlett & Travers lease has
promise of becoming one of the big
producers Of the camp, as it is situated
the known ore Zone and already
shows values with shallow development.
Mr.. Trazers is now in the east financing
the project. As soon as sufficient
funds are in the treasury the property
will be developed on an extensive scale
and under conservative, intelligent and
honest management.

ROUND MOUNTAIN COMBINATION


Control of the Round Mountain Com
bination is held by Marvin Ish & Co.
of Goldfeld. The estate adjoins the
Round Mountain Mining company 8
ground and undoubtedly contains some
of it's lodges. Close to 100000 has been
taken from the surface of this ground
by placer operations. 1t is understood
that a deal is on for this property,
which means, if contaminated, an i'm
mense amount of development work in
the near future.
A few days & in the "Doc' Har-
pending lease on the Combination, which
is owned by Atchison, Kansas, people,
a big strike was made. The ledge is
four feet wide, containing a narrow
streak that assays better than $4,000
to the ton. Eight inches of the ledge
is shipable.

formation regarding its properties.
Although mines within a few miles
OF Round Mountain produced millions
OF dollars as long ago as the eos, the
camp was not really discovered until
March, 1906, when Jack Stebbins found
the first gold on the Sa~ddleback claim

RABBITS BANKRUPT COUNTY
Bounty il Paid on $4,000 Sealps
in Kansas - Payment Discon-
tinued as Resources Are
Exhausted-ARimals Null
tiply Too Rapidly for
the Treasury

Sawyer. Kas., July 24-The Com.
missioners Of Pratt county have de-
cided to cease paying a bounty Of 3
cents each for rabbit scalps, for the
reason that 1t has been too great a sue
cess
In the last three months the jack
rabbit bounty in this county amounted
to sl,l64.36, representing the destruc-
tion OF 38,sl2 rabbits 10 3 months, or
about 500 for each working day.
In May the bounty amounted to
$500 which stands for the destruc-
tion Of about 625 rabbits each day for
that month.
The Commissioners decided that
that they are paying for the destruc-
tion Of rabbits from surrounding
counties, which pay no bounty, and
they wish to stop 1t until all counties
can be forced to join ina movement
The action OF the Commissioners
excites general protest among the
farmers. The loss caused by the rab-
bits is great, the estimate reach
ing as high as 10 per cent OF the wheat
crop, many farmers claiming that the
rabbits cost them as much as their
live stock.
ln the year when the bounty was
paid more than $4,000 scalps were
brought 10, and argued that there has
been a perceptibls decrease Of rabbits
in the county.

Shelbina takes Third Game


A dog fight under the grand stand
at the ball game Wednesda Afternoon
proved far more interesting TO the
fans than the nine innings which re
suited In a score OF Q to l Ia favor OF
the Athletics. Shelbina has a shine
lot OF so-called diamond artists. They
are unable to hit any Mexico pitcher
to advantage and when 1t comes to
holding the locals down they are com
pletely out OF il.
Against a weaker team than the
Athletics they might make a credi-
table showing. They are too young
to line up before more experienced
players and a team which thoroughly
outclasses them. They have acted
gentlemanly throughout the two
games already played and are not the
kicking troublesome kind OF men.
St Vrain pitched his usual strong
game and at no time was at a loss
what to do. Tue Athletics played
their always close game leaving no
leophole for the visitors to get a run
The only score made by Shelbina was
through st. Vrains tripping as he
stopped to pick up a grounder.

Shelblna trounced the locals Thurs
day afternoon by a score OF ten to one,
The manner In which they went after
the Athletics was such that the fans
were led to believe they intended
making up for the defeats OF two pre-
vious days. Perhaps Mexico didn't
have as strong team on the diamond
and they may not have played their
usual strong game, but nevertheless
they were defeated by q good fat
score.
Bunton, who came to this city her
aided as the wonder that held the
Cardinals down for ten innings at
Quincy last year, pitched for the WIS.,
itors. Whether he is a .wonder or no
IL is useless to discuss. He certainly
assisted In saving the Shelblna teams
sore spots. 1t is useless to go over
the work Of either team; a glance at a
score sheet published below tells the
sad tale.
Shelblna has a good team. They are
greener material than the locals and
cannot put up al good an exhibition
Of the ball, but with pitcher who was
capable they certainly made things
hum. Perhaps the first two days
made the locals oyer certain Of vic
tory, They had every reason to be-
lieve the Shelbina lads had little, If
any show to win. But oyer-contideuce
is the mother Of errors and defeat.
