NOR time at least e. H. Lotus
and his brother have found the
u Lost Cabin mine-the Lost Cabin
mine that has been searched for by
thousands for many years until the
very name has come to provoke a
smile.
Somewhere up in the wilds of Oregon,
then the center of hostile Indians wan
derings, four prospectors in the early
days found a land rich in lodges that
panned everywhere. They sunk a shaft
and We're doing we'll when Indians de-
scended upon the little camp. Three of
the partners were killed. The fourth,
who was away; procuring supplies at
the time of the raid. was never able to
reach the ground again after making
his escape.
This is the mine that E. H. LOTUS
Of Goldrun, Ore, and his brother have

TO REDUCE
RATES TO SHELTERS
WILL BE EFFECTIVE LAST OF
THIS WEEK
Cut is Greater Than Anticipated and
Means Profit to Southwest Coun-
try-Benefits Low Grade
Propositions

The Nevada railroad commission has
lions made on ores from the southern
country to the Salt Lake smelters,
effective on August 1 and mentioned
several weeks ago. The cuts announced
are really greater than heretofore
stated and mean much to the southern
country, where the trouble has always
been the marketing of low grade re-
fractory ores. The rate is effective
over the San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake railroad, which traverses
the country in question, and ends at
the Salt Lake smelters.
From Amagosa an average reduction
of 1.3 per cent is made on all ores to
Salt Lake. There is no change on $40
ore, the rate being maintained at S475
per ton; on $50 the rate is $5.75. on $50
ore the rate is reduced from 1915 to
$3.50, on so ore from, $S.75 to IS, on $40
ore from $3.50 to 50.
From stations of Roswell, Queen
Gold Center, Beatty. Rhyolite. Mont.
Shoshore Spur, Original Bullfrog there
is an average reduction of ga per cent.
From there it costs So to haul $40 ore to
the smelter. The greatest reduction
is made on ore running $50 to the ton,
the reduction there being IL per cent.
On the high grade ores the reductions
are small.
Rate from currie's Wells
The rate from Currie's Wells, Rom
ME Claire, San Carlos and Wagner to
Salt Lake are reduced 15.5 per cent on
ore. The reduction begins with the $50
ore. which is reduced from $40 to
$3.50. The greatest reduction ~ made
on $50 ore, which is reduced 2S.S per
cent, the old rate being $1,000 and the
new rate IS.
The rates from Ralston, Red Rock
and Goldfeld to Salt Lake are reduced
on an average of 17.S per cent. The
greatest reduction is made on the $50
ore. this amounting to 27.3 per cent
The former rate on this ore was vi
and under the new schedule 1t will
be IS.
Throughout the schedule of reduc-
lions the greatest cuts are made on
ore averaging $50 and $50 to the ton.
There are great quantities of refrac-
tory ore of this grade in the southern
country and with the reductions made
it can be handled at the shelters at
Salt Lake. Material reductions are
also made on the $40 ore, which also
means a profitable handling of this
grade.

LAS VEGAS TURQUOISE
PROVES BEST IN WORLD
Tiffany Makes Examination Which
Shows Claims 20 BE Vastly Rich.
Deposits Are Being
Worked

Martin Hamilton, P. J. Sullivan and
J. M. Keith are the fortunate owners
of four valuable claims on the Colo
RADIO river about twenty-five miles east
of Las Vegas, a short distance below
the mouth of Vegas wash. These
claims contain great deposits of tur-
quoise of. the finest quality. Samples
have been sent to houses at Boston
and Philadelphia and to Tiffany's at
New York.
The reports returned are all to the
effect that this turquoise is of the finest
quality. Tiffany says in particular
that southern Nevada turquoise is the
finest in the world.
These claims show signs of having
been worked in primitive way many
years ago by the native tribes. Num-
erous implements, of stone have been
found in the old workings, especially
large number of stone hammers.
Development work is under way
which will open up these valuable de-
posits and add one more to the re-
sources which are building thriving
town at Las Vegas

Apache Chief Again Ships High Grade:
Is Relic of Early Days in Southwest

VUMA, Ariz.. July 26.-The Success
company is sacking and shipping
Il high grade copper and gold ore
from the property of Charles Eichel-
berger at Quartzsite. This property was
worked as early as 1853 by San Fran
cisco people, and was known as the
Apache Chief.
The ore was hauled to La Paz on the
Colorado, boated to the mouth of the
river and loaded on sailing vessels to
be taken to San Francisco. Now it is
hauled to Vicksburg by wagon and
shipped direct to El Paso,
The Colonial company is turning out
quicksilver regularly and piling up it's
tailings, which it proposes to work later
for the gold and silver they are known
to contain In good paying quantities.
The roasting for the quicksilver ought
to put the ore in good shape for mill
treatment.
John Brown, seven miles west of
Quartzsite, has lot of high grade ore
sacked and ready to haul to mill. He
expects great returns, as the rock is
very rich and the gold appears to be
absolutely free.
There is quite an excitement about
the Alamo Springs country and a num-
Der of prospectors have gone out there.

JOHANNESBURG, Cal, July 26.--
The intense heat of the past ten days
has driven from the surrounding hills
many prospectors, and many are So
journing locally while the warm wave
lasts. A prospector named Bryan
came in last night from the slate
range. He brought specimens of ore
that should easily go $1,000 ton, and
reported that that part of the range
lying south of the borax works was
swarming with gold seekers, many of
whom have discovered rich lodges.
Bryan goes direct to New York. where
he intends to form a company to de-
velop his group of claims.
William Cheeseborough, proprietor of
the johannesburg hotel, recently phr-
chased a town lot here, and on exam
lining an old prospect shaft that had
been sunk on the ground in early
days he discovered two-foot ledge
of good ore. Building plans were has

Suit Over Nancy Mine
Suit has been brought by Messrs.
White, Nosser, Rice and O'Connor to
quiet title to the Nancy Mine, located
in Randsburg. The matter will be set
tied during September and the above
parties will then resume work on a
large scale. The Nancy was formerly
held by the Consolidated Mines COM
pany and was known as the Kenyon
mine. Through neglect the Console
dated company lost possession of the
property, which in early days produced
many hundreds Of thousands of dollars.
e. G. BreScanson, a representative
of a large foreign steel corporation, left
on Friday for New York city. Brescan-
son spent about week in this vicinity
during which time he examined many
tungsten properties. He carried away
a host of data concerning the area of
the tungsten belt and the capacity of
the many producing tungsten mines in
the district.
Brescanson's visit augurs we'll for
an early resumption among the tung-
stem mines of this vicinity, prominent
among which is the Atolia company's
property, the largest tungsten mine in
the world. 1t is believed that this for
eign steel corporation may enter the
local field as an active producer.

OLD ATHERTON IN GARFIELD
GROUP MAKES NEW SHIPMENT

A shipment of sixty-two tons of ore
has just been made from the old Ather-
ton mine of the Garfield group, stu
ated between Nina and Hawthorne, in
Nevada, and more is being sacked for
further shipments.
This ore is being obtained from the
workings which recently picked up the
vein. The work done years ago showed
the ledge had faulted badly, and after
a fruitless endeavor, involving the ex-
penditure of a large amount of money
the search was given up and the mine
closed down.
Recently, under the skillful guidance
of J. w. Chandler, consulting engineer
of the property, the vein was relocated,
and a good quality of ore is being ex-
tracted

OLD AUSTIN GLORY HOLE
GETS NEW LEASE OF LIFE

Information recently received from
Austin, New, is to the effect that the
old timer will soon take on all its old
time glory. A large number of capital
lists arrived there last week for the
purpose of taking over the mines,
which at one time had the richest aver
age ore in the United States, the mill
ing and shipping returns going 1854 a
ton.
The camp produced $40,000,O00 from
above the 600-foot level. Fifteen men
were put to work last week cleaning
out old tunnels and shafts, and large
force will soon be engaged on Develop
ment work. The Stokes mill, which
had been in operation but six months
when the shutdown came, will soon
again be grinding out bullion.

Some good ore has been brought in.
This is in the Short Horn mountains.
Good news comes from the North
Star. Water stopped the work at 21Q
feet, and that is as good as gold
mine. for the King, only two miles
away had to dig 1000 feet for. water and
then lift it 500 or 600 feet through a
fiye-mile pipe line to get it to the mine.
And, at that, the well doesn't furnish
any too much water, and when it goes
dry everybody must get out and hunt
water. The failure of a well about
two years ago put Felix Mayhem to
hunting water. and while looking for
moisture found the North Star.

VALUABLE MINERALS WHICH
ARE CLOSE TO LOS ANGELES

Cassiterite or tinstone (also known
as toad's eye tin) used to a limited
extent for ornamental purposes, is
found in Riverside and San Bernardino

ores from the Temescal district have
been polished fiat and resemble dark
polished wood.
True sapphires have been found in
the drift in San Francisquito pass, Los
Angeles county.
Near Corona, Riverside county, at an
elevation of 1900 feet above sea level,
molybdenite has been discovered in a

Thanksgiving at the Jacques the ater promises to witness two capacity audiences, for the sales of tickets have assumed big proportions. The usual custom prevails of reserving the matinee seats in accordance with the evening chart and at evening prices. The strength of this weeks bill is almost unprecedented in the annals of the playhouse, for the brii- liant musical comedy, Ed Wrina and company in MT Busybody," is accompanied by an array of attrae- tions of surpassing merit. Howari's musical ponies and comedy dogs are daily and nightly receiving recep- tions little short of ovations. Schrode and Mulvey in a unique and irresisti- bl.- funny skit, "A Theatrical Agen- cy," FedGler and Shelton, colored comedians with original ideas of mirthmaking and melody; Otto brothers, clever German comedians and singers: William Court. singing the great Harry Lauder song hits Mofit and Claire opening the bill with clever dancing numbers, and new electrogrsphic films are the other offering of the capital thanksgiving week programme. Next week the Brothers Byrne. the three Keatcns, Frank Wallace, Jr, and company and others will be seen.

It is estimated that patronage of from 1900 to l,500 people will be present tonight at the opening of Waterbury's new theater to greet the David M. Hartford stock company Tn It's inaugural appearance with "Old Heidelberg" So much has been said and written about the project capital ized by Waterbury business men and others from the surrounding towns that naturally great deal of curiosi- ty has been aroused in what the new stock company is to offer the public. First of all the new stock theater has the largest seating capacity of any amusement house in this city and is large enough to meet the growing needs of hustling and progressive city. The American Seating Co oi New York city has installed modern seats within the ground floor of the new playhouse and extensive im- provements and decorations have been all about the big building, in- cluding the orchestra circle and an addition to the stage. Among the patrons this evening will be large body of Elks, Eagles and Knights or Pythias, who are enthusiastic friends and supporters of David M. Hartford, the leading man. That MT Hartford has wonderful following in this city is not to be disputed. That he has surrounded himself by an exception ally capable and high class company of actors and actresses is another feature which will count in the task of presenting for the consideration of Waterburians only the most success full and popular tried out metropoli- tan productions of note. In "Old Heidelberg" the people will have abundant opportunity to witness some excellent scenic effects as we'll as costumes far beyond the ordinary. Tomorrow, Thanksgiving afternoon and evening, there will be two per formances and the advance sale has
 been large enough to justify the as- sertion that it will be banner week | in Waterbury's theatrical history,
 marking the epoch of independent
 theatricals. Popular prices will at all times prevail and those who have
 witnessed MT Hartford's careful and
 accomplished work as an artist on
 past occasions need have no hesitancy
