HIGH GRADE STRUCK
IN CAMP OF ATWOOD

A strike of twelve inches of high
grade shipping ore has been made on
the surface of the property of the At
wood Mining company, at Atwood Par
~ticulars are meager but there is enough
definite information to cause j. g..
Richardson, one of the principal factors
in the company, to leave for there this
morning.
1t is not the only high grade at At
wood as Frank Everett has several tons
ready for shipment that will run into
the hundreds in value from the Golden
Crown group. He has a specimen from
there which carries at the rate of at
least 1000 ounces in silver. Various
assays have ranged from $44 to 800
with several averages close to the hun
dred mark.
~ would not trade Atwood for any
u~ndeveloped district in the state, said
Mr.. Everett this morning. "There are
some great mines there and because the
Goldyke Reef made a tallure Is no sign
they are not good. In fact, the Goldyke
Reef is a good mine and has a greater
ore shoot on the surface than the Flor
ence. The trouble with it is that some
nice vertical shafts were sunk and
nicely timbered instead of staying with
the ore. You must stay with your ore
to make a mine
Mr.. Everett states that he could
make a good shipment now, but is
waiting until he can be sure of their
regularity. In the meantime he will
sink another 100 feet and crosscut and
by that means he expects to tap the
rich shoot and insure regular shipments
after starting them.-Sun.

.SHOSHONE GLORY HOLE
TALC ORE BODY A WHOPPER

by Earle X. Clemens in the Rhyolite
Herald.)
Will the wonders of the Montgomery
Shoshone glory hole never ceasei
Some months < it was current talk
that the glory hole tale deposit con
tanned only a few more tons of ore, and
that in a few weeks, if il were drawn
upon for tonnage for the mill, the tale
body would be exhausted, and the Sho-
shone glory hole would become a thing
of the past.
All these months, a portion of the
tonnage for the big mill, which is now
working about 400 ton a month, has
been drawn from the glory hole, and
yet today there is more ore broken at
this point and more ore actually ex-
posed and in sight than ever before in
the history of the famous property.
Glory Hole Gaining
Unsteady of decreasing with a steady
drainage, the available ore ut the glory
hole is gradually increasing. This is
due to the fact that the exploration
work in progress is showing up an ore
body of such magnitude that the old
glory hole of early days is IN infant in
comparison.
Out to the west, out to the east and
out to the south from where the first
raise broke through to surface from the
tunnel level, the dimensions of the tale
ore body have been extended, and even
with the extensive q%uarrying from

GOLDFIELD CONTINUES TO
PROVE WEALTH AT DEPTH

That the news items, taking up the
lease space and occupying a position,
not at all conspicuous, are still of in
%portanee, is proved by yesterdays re-
cital of the development in progress on
the Hazel oldfeld, says the Denver
Mining Record. 1t appears that at a
depth of more than 700 feet some very
good looking ore was broken into, run
ming as high as $104 a ton in assay
values. There are several other prop
critics in the Goldfeld district that are
being developed at depth. Readers of
the Record will undoubtedly recall that
news was published some weeks ago,
showing that the Mohawk had broken
into its largest shoots, and had secured
its best values at a depth of 600 feet
under the surface.
The advantages of demonstrating a
camp at great depth are by no means
confined to the effects produced on in
dividual properties. At the outset the
naturalization of a district is more or
less theoretical. This was the case in
Cripple Creek, and it has had its coun-
terpart in every mining camp of i'm
portance in the world, with the possible
exception of the Rand in South Africa
The point we wish to make is, that de-
velopment at depth alone will disclose
the possibilities of a high grade camp.
The experience in districts of this ma

HOW JAMES g. FAIR
WON HIS VAST FORTUNE

The following dramatic account of
the finding of a Comstoek ore shoot oc-
eurs in "The Tale of Silver:'
"And now Fair gained his fortune
olcw. Working among his men IN bar
rem rock, has keen eye discovered a mar
row seam of rich ore not thicker than
2 knife blade. They followed At 1ay
by day, night by night with bulldog
tcnacity, hundreds of feet inso the
bowels of the earth; followed it when
their only clew was a film of clay fol
lowed it until it began to widen out,
until it reached the dimensions of a T.
foot vein, averaging $50 per ton. At 4
depth of 1,167 feet the ore body widen
ed to 40 feet. In October they were in
a bonanza. Probably the richest hoar i
of precious metal ever known in tie
history of the world had cen found by
following an almost invisible streak Of
clay The capital stock of the Con
solidated Virginia was increased to
los, 900 shares. 1t sold at $45 per share.
In November, 1874, it sold at $115; in
December at 1910. and in January, m
mediately following, at 800 per share,

lode valued five years before at $50,0ce,

$3.50, 000, 900. Silver was found in this
bonanza in the most strange and beau
tiful forms; some times in coils of wire,
sometimes in lunches and clusters Of

ture has been that some of the best
paying shoots have been found in veins
that did not apex at the surface. 1t
has also been found that the trend of
the veins was a matter that could not
be aseertained by surface workings.
There is also the added advantage of
demonstrating the possibility of perma-
rent production when the property has
been proved at depth, and it is certain
that when a camp has been developed
n great many hundred feet below the
surface, the investments in reduction
works, in railways, and IT. other perma-
rent propositions, will be forthcoming
a great deal quicker than when only
theory dictates the camp possibilities.
Goldfeld maintains a position of dis
tinction, in that it has produced from
the surface down. The remarkable rich
ore shoots that were found in such prop
also seemed to continue with depth and
to be wider hundreds of feet below the
surface than they were near daylight.
Development at depth likewise accom-
plishes another result, and this has to
do with minimizing the risk taken by
those who invest in well located pros
poets. OF course, what surrounding
properties have done never acts as a
guarantee for the claims under develop
ment, but the more thoroughly a camp
is demonstrated the less the hazard.

ALL EARMARKS OF A Conner
Especial Correspondence

Rockefeller, Nov. 19.-Joel Holman
and Robert w. Tucker are sinking two
shafts on their property which is about
a mile and a half west of the Knott &
Thompson shaft. They are getting ex-
cellent assays and will stay with the
game until the finish.
The Crown Point group, owned by j.
l.. Scott and John McEtchen, has a good
surface showing. A strong vein crosses
its property. Good assays have been
obtained.
The stage line to Clifford passes
through this camp.
The Cactus-Johnnie mine has been re-
opened under new management and the
ore shoot will be extensively explored,
The property has already shipped ore
which gave handsome returns after all
expenses were paid.

The Goldfeld Double Triangle com
pany is preparing for extensive opera
tions this winter. A crosscut, 200 feet
in length, will be driven on the lower
level in the main working shaft. Gen
eral Manager Scott is confident that
the pay shoot ear be cut within the
next thirty days. Some ore is already
showing. The formation is similar to
that of the rich Goldfeld deposits.
A depth of ninety feet has been at.
tanned in the Cockings & Heulden shaft.
A good sized vein has been encountered.
Samples have been sent to Goldfeld and
Denver for testing.

ANOTHER CLIFFORD FIND

William Hill, who owns a grour
known as the Norfolk Gray, located
about three miles north Of the Clifford
camp. has struck a shoot of ore that it
is claimed equals in gold values the
ore in the famous incline of the Broke.

creating great excitement at Clifford
and a rush is on to make locations. The
formation is identical with surface
showings Of Clifford which is a rhyolite
and porphyry quartz.

ANOTHER SUIT FILED

United States District Attorney Platt
has filed another suit against the South

patents granted the corporation to Ger
tain lands in this state.
The complaint sets forth that the
lands are mineral lands and that pat
ents were granted under misrepresenta-
ton, thus taking from the government
mineral lands under the title of agricul-
tural land and timber patents.

three sides, the extent of the deposit
has not been determined in any direc-
ton from the fault line, either in
length OF width, or in depth.
1t Is a whopper
An approximate estimate upon the
size of the tale ore body, indicated by
the surface work and the work on the
200-foot level, gives an exposed length
of 800 feet, an exposed width from 40
to 100 feet, and an exposed depth of
nearly 200 feet, or to the 200 level,
which is not quite 200 feet below the
surface.
Above the original tunnel level, the
glory hole is about so feet in width at
its narrowest point, and at the tunnel
level, where the big machine drills have
been breaking down great quantities OF
the ore. the glory hole is fully 100 feet
in width, with a solid face of ore from
the level to surface, from rs to l0o
feet.
Possibilities
Should the glory hole tale body con
tinue to the 200 level, with the same
immense dimensions as now Indicated
the tonnage would be enormous, and a
man with a lead pencil could figure
enough ore from this point to keep the
big mill grinding for years. To be con
sentative, the man with the lead pencil
should not try any stunts at this writ
ing, for the figures would not be be-
lievable.

4 STATESMAN WITH A CON-
SCIENCE"

Description Of the Republican Pres
idential Candidate by Senator
Borah Of idaho.
(Trom Senator Borah's Boston
Speech.)
"Now, it seems to be conceded BY
friend and f6e that few men have been
nominated for the presidency whose
experience, whose training and whose
sound and wholesome fashion Of grasp
ing and dealing with public questions
were equal to those Of William H.
Taft.
He is not crusader, he is states
nan with conscience. He has won his
present position through 4 cheerful, un-
hesitating and undertaking devotion to
duty, through actually achieving things
on the open field of action, through an
intelligent conception Of the strength
and worth Of our great government
with its checks and balances; and the
strength and capacity Of our citizen
ship with its loyalty and it's patriotism.
mo man ever had deeper regard
for the fundamental principles and pre-
cepts upon which this government u
founded, and no one ever had frmer
conviction that the constitution IL q
sufncieut chart by which to measure all
rights and obligations and to gauge all
the demands and all the aspirations
and restrain and control all the reck-
lsssness Of this indomitable race of
surs. Trained in tie law, eleven Year,
On the bench, he explored well the
sources Of Jurisprudence and carried
away from his work an everlasting de-
votion to order and Justice.
"UAdsr al circumstances and under
al emergencies, he has proved himself
q brave, clean-minded, self-poIsed and
courageous statesman. No man can put
his finger upon 4. little or cewardly
act, an incompetent or questionable
piece Of public service-no stain upon
his private life, no shadow upon
his public career And standing now in
the full lsrce light which beats upon q
throne, with eager eyes scrutinising
every act Of long and arduous public
career, no doubt arises as to his expe-
risnce and ability, no challenge comes
to his fine sense Of duty or his patriot
