SILVER OF HIGH VALUE
is FOUND NEAR NINA, NEW

NINA, March 29.-Mina is in the
throes of a mining excitement that
promises to rival anything ever before
witnessed in the state. A strike was
made yesterday on the fifty -three-foot

lead to the ton. Several hundred peo-
pie have viewed the ore and all avail
able rigs are being pressed into SER

men values, and two other pieces weigh
ing fully 200 pounds each were taken
out with the same shot. The pay
streak is two feet wide,
An auto arrived tonight from Raw

IN CHOWCHILLY DISTRICT
Los Angeles Prospectors Keep Their
Discovery Quiet Until NoW-Will
incorporate Company to
Develop Claims

w. T. Garrison of Los Angeles and
his four sons, Gus, Eugene, Austin and
Will, are to organize a company 20
develop their mining claims at Chow
chilly Rest Mariposa county. The FAM
lily corporation starts in with some-
thing to make a good beginning.
Last January two of the sons made
discovery on the claims, but nothing
of it's nature was disclosed. January
Il the locations were made. Now the
sons are at work sinking shaft and
making all preliminary conditions for
active work.
1t is said that groupings at six feet
showed a value of $4,000 ton and that
series of tests shows an average
value of $36 ton.
The company will be organized in
Los Angeles anG will have it's offices
here. 1t will be called the Queen OF
Tulare Mining company.
The vein was eleven inches wide at
depth of six feet and is getting
wider with depth. The walls are of

OUARRYING ORE AT
BIG SHOSHONE MINE
Immense Tale Deposit Is Being Mined
from Tunnel Level to Surface
for Shipment to the
Smelters
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, March 2s.-The big tale
deposit at the Montgomery Shoshone
the striking of which was one of the
principal features of the early develop
ment of the camp, is being quarrieo
cut and shipped without sorting.
1t is an eye-opener to visit the tun-
mel level and see what is being done
to that mammoth body of tale. About
seventy-five feet under cover, Slopes
were started and extended to surface,
and at this time the open space is
about $50 feet the long way by 100 feet
the other, with walls from thlrty-fTe
10 fifty feet in height, surrounding the
floor.
The immense tonnage which has been
taken out of this space has been tram
med direct to the bins and loaded into
cars for shipment to Salt Lake, prac-
tIcally without sorting, the only waste
heing an occasional huge boulder or
rhyolite, the boulders being found inn
bedded here and there in the tale.
1t is indeed quite surpurise to those
who have not visited the Shoshone
within the past few weeks to find such
a large chamber, extending from the
tunnel level to the surface, for there
is no indication of such a hole in the
ground, viewing the mine from the
wagon road below.
The dimensions of the chamber are
being extended rapidly, both in latera'
dimensions and in depth, miners being
employed in understoping, and in ex
tending the walls of the chamber back
toward the country rock.
The values in the tale ore body range
from $40 to 500, as an average, and
from this point the shipping ore is
being taken at the rate of about three
cars a week. Until a short time ago .
car day was being shipped, principal
lv from this point.

Organized Dealers of Muncie
To Support Only the Fav-
orabIe Candidates.
COMING TO BE ATTACKED.

Muncie, Ind, March 12.-It Is be-
lieyed the organized liquor dealers of
Muncie are planning to enter actively
into the county campaign this year,
and to support those candidates or
either party that seem most favorable
to the liquor interests. There Is no
doubt the saloon crowd, elated by its
partial victory at the republican pri-
mary election in February, will contin-
ne in politics. 1t is certain that the
saloon men will make no fight against
the candidates. of Harry Long, repub-
lican nominee for prosecuting attor-
ney, and j. Monroe Fitch, republican
nominee for state representative, and
1t is doubtful il they will fight David
A. Lambert, nominee for state senator,
although they favored, in general, Mr..
Lambert's opponent for the nomin-
alton.
Will Try to Defeat Cowing.
Gut the liquor dealers have it in
for Lewis G. Cowing, republican NOM
inee for representative, who, on the
eve of election, defied the saloon
crowd to do it's worst and who pub
lIbHeu u bthleIiSHL sHO"lllS tudL d SoiIi-
mittee of saloon keepers and brew
ers' agents had attempted to exact a
pledge from him to be favorable to
legislation favoring the liquor inter
ests. However, Mr.. Cowing and his
friends are not worrying about this
opposition, for in the face of it Mr..
Cowing led all competitors for the
nomination.
