LEASEA- ARE AT WORK
IN CAMP OF ShOOKUM, Too

The Gweenah Consolidated Leasing
company, operating three lots on the
Lemaire ground, has the best shaft
in the camp
in the camp, says the Skooku Times.
1t is a double department shaft and
is timbered with two inch stuff to the
bottom, fifty feet, at which depth a
cross cut is being made to catch the
ledge which dipped to the north OF the
shaft at forty feet. 1T is figures that
but a few feet will have to be gone
until the vein is cut, after which sink
ing will be resumed and the shaft sunk
to the 1OO-foot point. Fhen the ledge
left the shaft is carried fully three
feet or better of $50 ore. Two sehifts
are being worked on the shaft, the
work being facilitated by the help
CT a within. In shaft No. 2, $50 ore
is being broked from a three foot ore
body at a depth of between 35 and
40 feet, with one shift working.
The Rankin and Bonner lease on the
Lemaire property is coming to the
front. Another week s work will in
all likelihood prove this ground to be
as valuable as any in its rich neigh
borhood.
Last Wednesday, at the 20-foot
depth the ledge opened at the three
and a half foot ore, and showed some
fine specimens of horn silver. The
ore is also literally ~permeated with
bromides and will easily break $500
to the ton throughout. The leasers are

development work for all there is in
it. The Rankin lot on which this
strike was made was only last week
consolidated with the Former lease.

w. G. RUDDELL IN RENO TELLS
OF HIS TRIP TO BOYD BASIN

The Reno Gazette of Tuesday has
the following:
Colonel Hopkins, accompanied by
W.. C. Ruddell, one of the pioneers OF
Humboldt county and one of the most
prominent men in that portion of the
state, arrived in Reno this morning.
The two gentlemen have just CON-
pleted a tour into the Boyd Basin dis
trict on one of the Colonel's large
autos, which is now running between
Winnemucca and that camp.
Mr.. Ruddell in speaking of the trip
said: "We made the trip from Boyd
Basin to Winnemucca. a distance Ut
one hundred miles in just three and a
half hours, and we broke the record
for autos between the two places. We
used Colonel Hopkins large Pope To-
ledo special to make the trip annd con
sidering the condition of the road, the
time was wonderful, in my opinion
Mr.. Hopkins also is very enthusiast
tic over the trip and declares that
thhere is not a car in the state that
can touch his for speed and endurance.

TIMBER OWNERS ORGANIZE
TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES

Dae Of the most economic move
eEts of the day a',out which the
eral public has yet learned little
is the concerted action of the owners
Of timber in different parts of the
country in organizations to fight fire
in order to protect their holdings from
devastation.
In the Pacific northwest, the Wash
ington Fire association has just elected
officers at Seattle and begun work for
the year with 5000, 900 acres under
its care. The plan includes a system
of patrol by rangers resembling the
work done by the United States For
est service in guarding aginst and
extinguishing fires. :,
Organizations of a similar kind and
+ r like purpose are at work In Ore
gon and Idaho. In the latter state
a portion of the expense is borne by
taxation and paid for by the treasury
department of the stae. A western
railroad company which holds large
tracts of timber has taken steps to
guard the property from fire, and
Turing the short time that the plan
has been in operation, it has met with
most encouraging success.
Similar work is being done on the
other side of the continent. Forest
owners in the sttae of Maine have
rome to work is the same systematic
way to control the forest IS greatest
enemy, fire, Like organizations are
fond in other parts of the countr.,
showing now fully it is now realized
that protection against fire is of the
greatest Importance.
1t is safe to say that fires IN this
country have destroyed more timber
than the lumbermen have cut. When
timber was abundant the waste passed
almost unnoticed, but now that a scar
city is at hand and an actual wood
famine threatens in the near future
the owners of the forest lands are
waking up and taking action to save
what is left.

STRIKE IN YOUNG AMERICA.

Tie unexpected usually occurs in
mining. Prospectors and companies
usually strike something of value and
vermanency when they least expect
it. This is the case with Captain J.
w. Norrell, superintendent of the
Young America mine at Forest City,
Sierra county, California. The Young
America company has been Tor a long
time drifting a tunnel on the rim or
a gravel channel to tap the rich de-
posts on Oregon creek. The tunnel
is over 1000 feet i nelgnhtVBGKGQ
is over 1000 feet in length and there
was no idea of ~encountering a good
quartz vein.
But that is just what Captain Nor
rell has done in the course of his
operations. e has intersected a vein
from, eight to ten feet in width. The
vein carries with it a large percentage
of free gold, and Morrell, as an evil
dence of its richness and Importance
of The discovery, brought with him
to Nevada City some samples of the
q ritz. The vein is rich and will run
into the thousands.
1t is the general opinion that the
ledge which has been intersected in
the Young America tunnel is an ex-
tension of theold Oriental vein which
was worked to a great advantage sew
eral years ago. At any rate Mr.. Nor
of tho best strikes in recent years in
the Forest district ana will continue
work until the vein demonstrates it's
permanency and value.-Nevada City

A CIRCUS WORTH SEEING

The Sells Floto Shows have just
completed the most enormously sue
cessful tour ever made by a tented
aggregation in California. The big
city dailies have universally prased
the circus which comes to Winnemuc-
ca Wednesday, May 13. The Los
Angeles Times has this to say:
The lions roared, the elephants
trumpeted, the Sacred COW from Thib-
ct groaned, the gorgeous young things
IN pink silk whirled around fifty feet
N the air, the band played to waltz
time, the horses pranced, and-and-
oceans of red lemonade was turned
loose, and the circus was on. The
Sells F1oto-Circus under acres of white
canvas, opened the show season yes
terday. The big main tent was crowd-
cd to- it's capacity and the side tents
where the menagerie is housed was
also filled.
Staid looking business men, leading
youngsters by the hand wended their
way eagerly into the big ten The
youngsters was the means towards the
md and the end was the big circus.
There were the Ty-Bell sisters, tw D

screaming robes which they jauntily
tossed aside while swinging fifty feet
from the ground Oh a support by their
feet.

clowns perspiring in the hot MONDAY

But why tell of the regular perfor-
nance of a circuss 1t was all color,
motion and sound, with wierd sights
and sounds intermingled with the show

worth the price adm more.
The "Peerless Potter aggregation
consisting of al entire family of aerial
artists, snatched the center of the ring
and began to do more than marvellous
things with Mt way up meath the
canvas roof. They hurled one anoth-
or about like shuttle cocks and took
risks that no accident insurance CON-
any would countenance.
At the sam time in another ring
other things were going on. Corea
and Cecil Lowande, two Austrians of
graceful carriage, were hurting them
selves over and over again in sum-
m%ersaults from the backs of running
horses. This act especially attracted
attention. Cet1 Lowande succeeded
in turning a double summersault from
the back of a running horse and re-
gained his footing without a slip.
There were scores of other inter.
csting acts but the greatest point of
interest seemed to be with the anil
mails. They We're all sleek and well
fed.

rumber of animals of various kinds
and all of them are well trained and

CLEAR THE TRACK.

With all due respect and in all kind
ness. the State Journal warns Charles
f. Hughes, Philander c. Knox, Charles
w Fairbanks, Joseph G.. Common and
Robert M. LaFollette to get off the
track.
Thompson's calf demonstrated his
possession of grit and lack of judg-
ment in trying to butt the locomotive
off The track.
Every man named above is a good
man. Any n of them would make 4
reasonable good president of the Unit
ed States. Some of them are ex-
ceptionally well qualified for the posi-
ton. But none of them has a show
for the Republican presidential nomina
ton this year. The man named at the
Chicago convention will be William H.
Taft-if it is not President Roosevelt.
There is not a man in the Republican
party who can take the nomination
away from Secretary Taft unless it is
President Roosevelt. There has not
opened that Theodore Roosevelt could
not have had the nomination by sim
ply saying the word. There will not
be a moment from now until the nomi-
nation is made that he could not have
the nomination by simply saying the
word. Whether the nomination will
be forced upon him will depend upon
his power of resistance.
Neither Hughes, Knox, Fairbanks,
Cannon or aFollette has strength or
Importance outside of his own state.
The cannot combine against Taft, and
unless the whirlwind sweeps President
Roosevelt off his feet, William H.
Taft will get the Republican nomina-
ton for president on the first ballot.
