RUBY VALLEY DISCOVERY

James M. Hoover, who has been en-
gagged in prospecting in the mountains
skirting Glover Valley for the past
couple of years, has made an important
discovery in Ruby Valley, one that
gives strong indications of developing
into a great producer. Some time ago
Mr.. Hoover went to Ruby, where he has
been doing some prospecting, and has
just opened up a large body of low
grade ore, at a point eight miles from
Cave Creek. He has uncovered a forty
foot ledge of rock carrying copper, gold
and silver.

GREAT GOLD REEF LEDGE

A ledge of five feet of solid quartz
has been struck in the group of DIR.
White Wolf at Gold Reef. 1t has given
an average assay of SAL per ton. The
shaft is but forty feet deep.
As soon as it's value was proven Fore
man Dobro left for Goldfeld to carry
the news to the owner.
The group is situated above the Gold
Reef townsite, close to it.
News of the strike was brought in
by Charley Kielhofer, who examined it
and says it is as pretty quartz as he
has seen in Nevada.

A PIOCHE

The shaft of the Phoebe Mohawk is
now down 125 feet, at which point a
good body of manganese has been
opened up. This ore body seems to be
the same as was opened up at the 80
foot level. The shaft will be continued
to the 200-foot level, at which time az
electric hoist will be installed and
crosscuts be started to develop the vein.
The ore carries about 80 ounces in sill
yer with a large proportion of lead. The
equipment has been ordered and is in
transit.

J.. Acron Wilson, manager of the Ne

happiest men in the state. His search
for a vein was made in a very careful,

he found one of the best, though the
blindest vein in the Gold Reef district.
He is now down but five feet, but is
sacking everything as he goes, and
claims it will run into the hundreds.

The most encouraging bit of news
this week in Wonder district is con-
tanned in a letter from w. R. Green
law, secretary and treasurer of the
Wonder Gold Bar Mining company,
whose group of claims is located just
to the north of the great Queens group,
where Messrs. Horgan and Flynn are
taking out their very fine high grade
ore. says the Wonder Mining News.
After accepting Theodore Vacaso-
wich's terms for running an additional
hundred feet of tunnel on the property,
| Mr.. Greenlaw says:
"The recently splendid showing
made by the leasers on the Queens
ground adjoining us is very encourag-
ing. and we are anxious, therefore, to
continue our tunnel work and open up
the property.
eve have decided that we want to
start at once and do sufficient develop
ment work right away to secure a
patent. and with this end in view we
have subscribed $4,000 and the money
is available to go right ahead imme-
diately.'
June Will Sink
Quite lively bidding has been going
on this week for the contract to sink
the shaft on the June Wonder an adj
d~itional fifty feet. 1t is thought that
the June may strike something worth
while by the time this additional depth
is reached in the shaft, and if this
proves correct the company will no
doubt continue with the work. The
property is well located, and there are
indications of a fine body of galena n
copper on the ground.
Horgan-Flynn Lease
The Horgan-FIynn lease on the
Queen ground continues to improve as
depth is reached in the new shaft. The
high grade streak is gradually widen
ing. and the ore continues to increase
in richness. A representative of the
Mining News paid a visit to the lease
this week, and arrived just in time to
see a very fine specimen bearing free
gold taken out by Mr.. Flynn. Tit
piece of gold bearing rock is about the
size of a hand, and is well s~prinkled
with fine specks Of the yellow metal,
one of which is about as large as two
pin heads. The bottom of the shaft is
all in quartz, with a streak of very
rich ore from six to eighteen inches
wide on the north side, adjoining the
hanging wall. This ore is being taken
out separately and sacked without sort
ing. 1t is estimated that this ore will
Weld between two and three hundred
dollars to the ton.

that he bid them smiling adieu. 1t
is fair. therefore, to assume that there
is fun even in gum-chewing.

A HEROIC ACT.-Thcre are true
born heroes, right at home, as wit
ness the following: With an ugly
flood sweeping beneath him and
every step fraught with danger, Il
man of 40 crept across the Grass
Creek trestle ON the Northern Pa
cific line west of Hoquiam and
reached the opposite bank in time to
stop the passenger train, on the
night of the 14th inst, and save
200 lives. High tides and heavy
rainfall caused the creek to rise rap
idly, washing out the foundations of
the trestle which stands forty feet
high and is 500 feet long. L. Lamp
here. an aged farmer, passed down
the bank of the stream and noticed
the condition of the treStle He
rushed home, got lantern, and by
crawling most of the way made the
trip across the trestlc, which was
swaying under the force of the floods.
1t took him half an hour. and he WAS
just across when the train swept
around a curve at full speed. The
engineer stopped within ten feet of
the trcStle.

conquered Darby united the thongs
about it's feet and drove it home.

MAY Nor PROHIBITION LEAD TO
SOME OTHER AS OBJECTIONABLE In
DULGENCE?-There is the reformer
who asks if you are going to pro-
hibit the liquor traffic, why not go a
step further and eliminate poor food
products from the market, which are
more injurious to humanity than in
tOxicants? Besides, it is held, that
the partaking of such food creates an
appetite for stimulantS. The Mo-
hammedans number nearly two hun
dred millions of people who are prac-
tical prOhibitiOnists, but use q deadly
drug in its stead. Oklahoma's con-
stitution prohibits the liquor traffic
for twenty years, which may mean
forever. 1t is said many men who
drank liquor voted for its adoption
because they believed the saloons had
become too active in politics. 1t is
always easier to vote and enact laws
on a given subject than to take care
of the consequences and make re-
adjustments. Very likely there will
be many serious complications in
this nation before a billion of dollars
worth of property shall be practically
annihilated.

primarily designed to open up the
Puyallup waterway. Two 30-horSe-

that will suck up the water and mud
from the bottom. One 150-horse-
power motor will operate the cut
ter which digs the material in the
bottom loose. A 30-horse- power
motor will raise and lower the
bridge. There are two 20-horSe-
power motors to operate the 'spuds,
and there is one 10-horse- power
motor for handling the pumps.
