SCULLY GETS WRONG
KIND OF PUBLICITY

M. C. Scully. the prominent Goldfield
tempts of some one as yet unknown. to
bring his name into prominence as an
officer in a company operating in Raw
hide. The company is all right. ac-
cording to Mr. Scully. and it's ground is
excellent. but he is not an officer of the
and sundry misstatements ap-
pearing in some of the literature, pur-
ported to have been issued by the COM
pany--notably a full page advertisement
in the special edition of the Rawhide
Times Press, leads him to believe that
there is a malicious attempt on the part
of some one to injure the company and
misuse his name.
The advertisement appearing in the
Times-Press over the name of the Raw
hide Regent Mining and Milling COM
pany states that 1t is capitalized at
1, 900 900 81 shares, of which 100000
are in the treasury" whereas there are
only 900, 600 shares in the treasury.
The advertisement also states that
.300, 900 shares will be placed upon the
market at once at 20 cents per share
whereas the fact is. there will be only
$4,000 shares sold and at Is cents per
share. In addition. the corps of Of
fcers named in the advertisement in
question is almost entirely wrong,
showing that the writer had no accurate
knowledge of the facts and was publish
ing the advertisement with malicious
motive. The president of the company
is J. c. Brickell. and not r. J. Ledwick
as published: the vice president is not
S. L. NJ. Starr. but r. ]. Ledwick: the
secretary Is Mr.. Starr, and not M. l..
Baird: and the treasurer is A. w. String

not an officer or director. The main Of

RESTVALUESAT ROUND MT.
ARE IN DEEPEST WORKINGS

The stay of Messrs. LOTUS and Davis
in Round Mountain was brief this trip
and they were unable to find time to
visit the Antelope. where the sensa-
tional strike was made few days ago,
but Mr.. Davis says that the startling
announcements made regarding the find
have backing in fact. The ledge is
about three feet in width, two feet of
which carry about $3.50 or $40. Four
teen inches show marvellous values and
the ore extracted from this streak is
placed in the bank for safekeeping The
tale, which composes this streak, is
alive with gold and the pure quill' is
obtainable in chunks weighing up to $40
each. 1t will be remembered that the
Antelope startled the mining world in
the early days of Round Mountain by
producing a solid slab of gold weighing
better than $4,000.

MILL FOR DAISY

Manager c. Walter Geddes of
the Daisy reports that the water
flow in the No 2 shaft has been
controlled and that the sta
tion pump has been lowered to
, the 350-foot point. The sinking
pumps are installed 20 feet be-
, low. By Sunday the station pump
will be moved to the 400. About
30 feet OF water remains in the
shaft.
, A station is being cut at the
800 mark. and on both the third
, and fourth levels crosscuts will
be run to tap the middle vein.
1t is Mr.. Geddes' belief that these
workings will extend for a con-
siderable portion of the distance
through merchantable ore.
Ten tons Of ore is being ship
ped daily from the upraise from
; the 210-foot level of the No.
shaft. The values range from
; sss to $40. While it was Mr.
Geddes' plan to erect a mill out
of the profits on the ore that is
being shipped. the New York Of
fice has wired him that IL he
wishes to begin the erection OF
; the mill at once. the money will
be Immediately available.

TO MAKE EVANS
A VICE ADMIRAL

WASHINGTON, March In a
quiet way naval officers in Washing
ton are endeavoring to arrange an
agreeable surprise for Admiral Evans
when the battleship fleet under his
command sails through the Golden
Gate, completing the Pacific cruise.
1t is proposed to greet the Rear
Admiral with commission as Vice
Admiral of the American navy. Of
course the success of this undertake
ing depends upon Congress, but the
President has done his part in max
ing a proper recommendation to that
body for the establishment of that
naval grade and it is not doubted
that Congress can be induced to act
upon the recommendation in season
to insure the issue of Admiral Evans
commission so that he may bear the
title of Vice-Admiral for the few
months that will intervene between
his arrival at San Francisco and his
retirement from active service.
The British fleet, composed of
twenty-six battleships, fifteen armor-
ed cruisers, nine protected cruisers
and tifty-seven torpedo craft, was
commanded at the last maneuvers by
one Admiral, three Vice-Admirals,
seven Rear-Admirals and one Com
modore
The American fleet, when it is en-
tirely assembled in San francisco
harbor, will consist of nineteen bat
tleships, eight armored cruisers
three protected cruisers and a large
number of supply ships, GOLFERS and
repair ships. nine destroyers and five
torpedo boats. commanded by only
four Rear-Admirals.

RICH find NEAR
COMSTOCk LODE

RENO, March "a discovery of
an immensely rich streak of ore was
made today on the Selby Consolidat-
ed property in the Jumbo district,
about five miles west of Virginia,
New. 1t is sixteen inches wide and
will go S. to the pound. The gold
is easily visible to the naked eye.
There is also strong showing of
copper The find was made by Peter
j. Somers, president of the Selby
Consolidated, former mayor of Mil
waukee and Congressman for two
terms from Wisconsin. Somers has
been in Nevada for the past two
years and has confined his opera
lions exclusively to the district men
toned.
The Jumbo district, as it was
known in the early days. has at times
revealed rich pockets, from one of
which as high as 100000 was taken,
but nothing giving such evidences of
permanency as this discovery has
ever before been found. Although
about five miles from the Comstock
by wagon road, the district Is not
more than half that from Virginia
and Gold Hill on an air line. and
the long cherished belief of many
that the district is the west extern
sion of the great Comstocklode is
somewhat strengthened by the find
The rock very much resembles Com.
stock ore in many particulars. Great
excitement has been oceasioned al
Virginia and Gold Hill by the news
of the discovery and nearly all the
unemployed men of that camp hav,
started for the scene of the find
