II may seem ungracious TO question
the accuracy less the excel

the foregoing. Perhaps the. difference
in our views mag arise from the fact
that I do not consider the meat cooked
as described here to be a roast 1t is
stewed, or. at the best. "a "pot-roast"
Tough meat treated in this manner
would be tender, undoubtedly. But
the flavor would not be that Of a roast,

are not in Nevada.
"Still farther on the northward we

SEVEN TROUGHS TO
RUSH STAMP MILL
HOPE OF DEVELOPMENT CEN.
TIERS IN WORK
Many Leasers Have Resumed Opera
tions and the Whole District ls
Preparing for a Real
Boom

The work of grading for the $4,000
ten-stamp mill of the Seven Troughs
kindergarten Mining company, north
of the company's works in Seven
Troughs canyon, which was started last
week, is making good headway, says
the Seven Troughs Miner. While 1t
will be pushed with considerable dill
gence, there is no particular need Tor
haste in its completion. as 1t unques-
tionably will be several weeks before
the Nevada Engineering works OF
Reno, to which the mill contract was
awarded, will be able to deliver the ma
terials for the buildings and the mill
itself upon the ground.
Word comes from Reno, however,
that President A. ]. McCone and Man
ager r. F. Roy of the engineering
works are using every effort to secure
timber and other materials for the mill
buildings In the local market. Provid-
ing they are successful in this direction,
the work of constructing the mill build
ings will be materially lesseneo, as con-
siderable time will be required IL II pe-
comes necessary for them to send away
for materials. When in this district
last week President McCone expressed
the belief that 1t would not be neces-
sary to send a great distance for these
materials and that he would propaDiy
deliver them on the mill site In a few
weeks. Naturally 1t would require
considerably longer period to make de-
livery of the mill itself, together with
the concentrating tables and the other
machinery on the ground, and, with
the completion of the grading work, the
construction of the mill will be COM
paratively slow. However, every ei-
| fort will be made to have the mill com
pleted at the earliest possible date. II
| is a certainty that 1t will be In opera
tion by the first of May at the latest:
Leasing operations throughout the
district. and especially in Seven Troughs
CANYON. have been greatly stim-
Mated through the beginning OF work
on the mill This Is due to the raci
that leasers, who have been hindereo
during the past few months by reason
of the depression of the money market
but who had good milling ore In signt,
now see their way clear to realize upon
their ores In the near future through
the construction of the mill. Many
ieasers have already resumed opera
tions and many others are preparing TO
do likewise.

NEVADA HILLS TO
PAY A DIVIDEND
Has Paid Five Similar Dividends in
the Past Fifteen Months-Prop-
erty Is In Fine
Shape ~

Nevada Hills will next month make
its sixth quarterly disbursement to its
stockholders. The dividend VIII be the
90 me. as the. five that has been paid In
the last fifteen months, 10 cents share,
or $4,000 in the aggregate, says the
Fairview News.
That this dividend will be paid is
known to the Fairview News upon the
very best authority, and while no Off
ciai announcement to that effect has
been made 1t is believed that the pro-
ceeds of ore shipments during the last
three months have been sufficient to
meet it, without the company having to
call upon it's reserve fund.
Since the December dividend was
paid. Nevada Hills has been working
with a reduced force, and its ore snip
ments have been small compared with
hat they were before the panic be-
gan, with the consequent slump in the
price of silver.
The mine had, however, nearly 10000
sacks of very high-grade ore awaiting
shipment at the time it's force was re-
duced. The force that has been work.
ing has been sufficient to keep the sup
ply of sacked high-grade at this figure,
SO that shipments and output have
about balanced during the period of
depression. Y
Nevada Hills stock has shown on ex-
change the confidence of traders that
the March dividend would be paid.
During the past three weeks it has
advanced ninety points and it is known
that insiders in the company manage
ment were not only buying at the low
figures but We're tipping their friends
to buy.
Last year Nevada Hills paid diyi-
.dends amounting to 1879 per cent on the
average market value of It's stock. This
was the largest return to the investors
made by any Nevada mining corpora
ton. With the assurance that the diyi-
dends will be continued, it is likely
that the record for this year will ex-
ceed that Of 1907, and unless some new
wonder is developed. Fairyiew's great
mine seens certain Of leading the pro-
cession again In 1908.

MAY THROW OPEN INDIAN
LANDS TO MINERAL LEASERS
Bill Now Pending Before Congress

PHOENIX, Feb. 16.-u the bill now

bey's office this morning from FRANCIS
n I,eupp, commissioner of Indian al
fairs. passes, all the mineral lands In
the indian reservations will be thrown
open to leasers.
Leupp's letter to Kibbey, While J.
brings displeasing news to Arizonahs
who hold mining claims in the Coio-
rado Indian reservations, indicates tnat
thew will not be deprived of their rights
should the pending bill pass congress:
Recently mining men who hold
claims in 100 square miles of territory
aided by President Roosevelt's procla-
nation to the Colorado reservation, pc
t;tioned Secretary of the Interior Gar
eeld. through Governor Kibbey, for
redress.
They set forth that their mineral
Gains had been included in the reser-
walton subsequent to Roosevelt's pro-
clamation, and that if nothing was
Gone in their behalf they would be
deprived of their rights.
Garfield referred the petition to Com
mission Leupp, who has been in Ari-
zona and is we'll acquainted with the

Kibbey today, Leupp says that there Is
no manner in which to protect the
rights of the petitioners, and that they
must forfeit their mining claims.
Leupp refers to decisions. which have
held that when a presidents proclama-
ton creates a reservation he cannot
amend the boundaries or change the
conditions, congress being the only tri-
bunai that has authority to make any
changes In notifications.
Leupp states that the Indian bureau

row pending, which provides that min
eral lands shall be leased and the rev.
enue go for the support of the Indians
inside whose reservations the lands are
located.
should the bill pass, 1T will be the
means of opening up much rich mining
territory in Arizona, from which the
nrospector is now barred by reason of
the law which prohibits the location
or development of mining claims in
Indian reservations.
Especially in the Colorado and Ma
vafo Indian reservations of Arizona is
II believed that there are valuable min
eraI deposits which have never been
prospected, for the reason that the law
prohibits work in that direction.
Should the law pass, the claim hold
