BLOCKING OUT
Big ORE BODIES

One of the most important fea-
lures in the development of the Bull
frog West Extension mine, which is
now on the list of Bullfrog's man.
moth milling propositions, is now
taking place in the prosecuting OF
the big quartz ore body.
The crosscut is being run on the
150-foot level, and this is the first
lateral in the workings run at right
angles to the walls. The ledge stands
at an angle of about 50 degrees, and
the footwall of the big ledge is in
sight in the crosscut for IS feet, with
the entire face of the lateral in solid
ore of an excellent quality.
The face of the crosscut is now
right into the solid ore, and the
management does not anticipate the
/ striking of the hanging wall for per-
haps fifty feet.
This. work is part of a system OF
lateral work recently started by SUI
perintendent Len P. McGarry, with
a view of blocking out the ore Sc

LORENA IS new
and LUSTY CAMP

One of Nevadas new and lusty
camps is that of Lorena. The camp
is located on the Rawhide road,
eighteen miles south and west of that
great gold camp. A townsite has been
plated and more than hundred
lots were disposed of the first day.
Five saloons, three restaurants, four
lodging houses, two brokerage con-
Germs, an assay Office and United
States mineral surveyor, and a news
paper start the town off with rush.
Mining men who have given the
camp a thorough inspection, state
that from surface indications it
promises well.
1t is located in the same range of
mountains and the people think it is
without doubt continuation of the
Rawhide mineral belt.
A strong company this week took
over the Little Florence group and
will at once begin campaign of Wig
orous development. This property
has strong outcrops of quartz show
ing up for a width of 200 feet and
giving values of So to 81 on the
surface. Among other good prop
critics are claims held by Paul Buck
ley of Reno, with whom is associated
Davis and Bovard, two of the orig
inal locators of the Rawhide camp
]. Holman Buck is heavily interested
in the new camp, being one of the
principal owners and founders of tht
townsite of Lorena, besides owning
number of good looking prospects

the work is proceeding, it will not be
many weeks before the ore above
the 150-foot point will be in shape
for the rigid examination that WHY
then be given The result of the eX-
animation that will then be given.
The result of the examination will
determine the possibility of getting
the big MILL mention of which was
made few weeks ago.
Monday of this week, the Wine
from the 115-foot level broke into
the crosscut, showing a width of 80
feet of solid quartz ore that will av-
erage in the neighborhood of $25 to
the ton The ore is honeycombed
and very easily worked, ton and q
half of the quartz having been re-
moved in making the connection. The
ore is uniform in character from
wall to wall
The ore zone in the West Extern
sion has been proven 800 feet along
/ the dip of the vein, or 300 feet deep
on the incline, which is very slight,
while the ore has been demonstrated
80 feet in width at one point and in
the neighborhood of Is feet III
length. Or if the quartz deposits
were lying perfectly fiat, the zone
could be described as being 800 feet
long, rs feet wide and 80 feet thick.
Thevalues, according to the manage
ment, are in the neighborhood of $40
and $25 throughout on the lower
levels.
Three shifts are being worked in
the crosscut, and about six feet oil

A STORY OF FAILURE.

The History of FindIay, O., Includes a
Sorry Attempt at Municipal Owner
ship.
The municipal gas plant was sold in
1890, being in debt at that time for
100000. The plant was originally pur-
chased from private company for
$4,000, in addition to which $4,000
was spent Immediately after the 'pur-
chase. The total amount of debt
amounted at one time to $4,000, this
being reduced from time to time from
the taxes and from the income of the
plant. In 1899 the natural gas wells
gave out, and the city was confronted
with a situation where it must sell out
or spend $150,000 more, for which there
were no available funds. in building
an artificial gas plant This would
have necessitated a great advance in
the rates. Rather6than to do this the
city sold the plant to the Citizens Gas
Light and Coke company for $4,000.
which now obtains gas from pipe
line 10 miles long and charges exceed
lngly low rates
When asked regarding the plant. the
former superintendent said:
when the city owned the plant TN
necessary exp2n iiturcs were constant
~ being made while in many cases
necessary improvements were ignored.
The pipe lire. some of which was thir-
ty years old or more. was in very bal
shape. \. \ large amount would have
been necessary to put the plant IN
shape by the city. 1t was therefore
sold. The company Immediately set to
plant, so that now practically all OF
the pipe lines in the city are new. No
city can own and properly operate a
yaS plant"

After Running Its Electric Plant
Seven Years a Michigan City Makes
Contract For Current.
In 1900 Escanaba installed an electric
light plant at cost of $4,000. By a
contract recently signed the generating
plant will be closed down, q ten year
contract having been made with a pri-
vate company to furnish current. AS
far back as 1905 the finance commit
tee of the city council advised selling
the plant on the ground that 1t was
losing money. Last June an attempt
was made to bolster up the plant by
having a special audit, the report Of
which showed generous profit by the
usual methods of suppressing some Of
the large cost factors. When, how
ever, 1t was found that Sic, 900 or S20,-
600 would have to be spent on renew
ing the plant vigorous protest was
made by the citizens, one Of whom
naively asked why the lights were SO
poor and so often out If the plant was
as good as was claimed by some of the
city officials. The city also owns
gas plant, Of which the Escanaba Mir
rOr says:
Excessive rates and an unsatisfac-
tory lighting service being furnished
to consumers Of Escanaba by the mu-
nicipal lighting plant have resulted in
Escanaba becoming the Mecca for rep
resentatives of gaslight manufacture
ing companies, and a majority of the
business places on Ludington street
are now being lighted from private gas
plants Installed by the store tenants"

TOO MANY CARP
Increase i'm Large Numbers and Des.
troy Other Fish.

The Saginaw News says
In the past few months the in
crease the number of carp in the
Saginaw river and its various tribu-
taries, Is said to have been enormous
with the result that large amount
OF damage to the present and future
fishing and hunting on the river is
being done.
In speaking of the matter a sports
man who knows well the conditions
along the rivers, said: "Since the
restrictions on net fishing in Sagi-
nav river the carp have increased
rapidly and they are doing much
damage. This is particularly true
along the sides of the rivers and
streams where there has always been
a fine growth or rice which the ducks
and other wild fowl have fed. The
carp go along and root in the mud
with the result that the streams show
solid masses of upturned rice floating
or the surface. Stretch after stretch
of this rice has been laid waste with
the result that the ducks and other
wild birds will find nothing to feed
upon in this part of the country un-
less something is done to stop the
ravages of the carp.
more than this, these rice beds
used to form a place for the propo-
cation of the bass. They would clean
out a small space an deposit the
eggs on the soft mud bottom and
then patrol the spot as carefully as
any place was ever policed. Now this
is changed and unless something is
done soon, there will be but few
bass found in the Saginaw river or
its tributaries.
"With no net fishing, and with
even night lines cut out recently by
the fish warden, there seems to be
little hope for saving either the fish
or the wild fowl for Saginaw and vi
cinity unless some effective work is
taken at once"
1t will be well for Shiawasse county
people to read the above with just few
doubts existing in their minds as it will
be remembered what fight was made
to prevent the passage of the law
against net fishing in the Saginaw and
its tributaries.

Taft the Best Equipped Man Eve
Named.

1t is no straining of the truth to
say that Mr.. Taft is better equipped
for the administrative duties of the
presidential Office than any other
candidate for the presidency has
been at the time of his first nominal
ton. The political experience of the
secretary of war has been extraor-
dinarily complete and varied. He
has served with distinction as state
and federal judge, held one of the
most important posts in the depart
ment OF justice, been secretary of
war and acting secretary of state,
has governed the Philippines, been
temporary governor Of Cuba, and has
supervised affairs in the Isthmian
canal strip. He is an administrator,
negotiator and pacifcator who has
proved his tact and skill in many
difficult fields, and his all-round
competency as public man equals,
If it does not exceed, that of such
earlier eXemplars of versatility in
craftsmanship as Albert Gallatin,
JdIlSS hdulSOu anu JONI quincy
Adams. Mr.. Taft is just as admir-
ably fitted to be chief justice of the
supreme court or a leader in either
branch of Congress as he is to full
fill the duties of the presidency
New York Tribune.
He is judicially minded mad he has
executive force. He can weigh and
decide quickly, and with substantial
IL unfailing fairness and accuracy;
and he can put into execution the de-
cisions thus reached. In both fields
he is equal to the best. His temper
ament facilitates the exercise of these
double gifts. 1t does not lead him
into exaggerated enthusiasms, and it
does not breed in him special fads.
It makes him averse to stirring up
strife, and it holds him calm under
contradiction. It affords scant shell
ter for prejudices, and it nourishes
no idea of making over society into
some new and untried form.
Those who wish we'll to this great
and useful country of ours will not
only desire his election; they will
work for it.-Hartford Courant.
