Ill IINoIE MEN LIKE
THE INLAY MINES, TOO


F. NJ. smith and AS Parson., two
wealthy operators of Rockford, Ils.
came out few days ago to- attend
Che annual meeting OF the directors
Of the INLAY Mining company and to
visit the properties of the company in
this county, and they passed through
salt Lake last Friday night on their
way back home. They were accon.
panied on the pilgrimage to the camp
BY President Morgan. To say that
they were pleased with what they saw
.t the property does not half express
t. They were possibly only luke warm
over the property when they went out
2 year ago, and the regular assessment
they have had to meet siee has nos
.1le4 as a stimulent although they
eaHc ths agh with the money every
time fer they had faith ia the manage
its and thenice showing ~ proper
ty made when they inspected 4 last
year. When asked how the PROPOSE
tion appealed TO them az this time.
they both declared that they were
almost too tiekled TO talk
The visitors were caught in judge
overs Office in Salt Lake whore
thev Were going through tue SAMPLES
hieh they had brought in and select
isg a portion TO take home while tne
alanee was being wrapped up and la
boled for submission to an assayer,
whose messenger appeared and took
them away almost berore they had
finished selecting the samples which
they were going to take home. And
such samples Most of them looked
good enough to eat Some were sim
ply masses of rich chlorides some were
full of iron and copper stains, some
showed the free gold and others gave
evidences of carrying exceptional
values in silver, gold and copper. while
others it wound take an expert TO de
termine the real values which were
represented in them.
From the north drift on the No one
level where the twenty-fvefo gold
bearing ledge was encountered, sam
pies were exhibited that would make
a wooden Indian laugh out loud 10
see, while the sensational looking ricn
chloride ore that comes from the
south drift ON the same level. and
which was tapped during the stay of
.he visitors at the mine left no room
for doubt but that the mine is open
ing up in a really sensational man
ner.
We We're all through the property
this trip, said Mr.. Smith "and I
want to say that Mr.. Parsons and my
self never dreamed of finding such
a showing, Notwithstanding the com
prehensive report that Superintendent
J. r. Turner submitted at the annual
meeting. He did not begin to tell it
all, and ] think it would have been
mpossible for him to have described
what he was able to show in the mine
found ore everywhere-and such
arel Well here are some of the sam
pies which we secured Look at them.
And then think of the way that the
property has been equipped, and taken
care of, it is splendid, and for one
viii say that if all mining properties
Were handled the way this one has
been for the past year or two, / am
sure that eastern investors who might
be induced to put their money into
them would never register a kick, even
though failure resulted from the at
tempt to make a mine. We have a
mine in the INLAY now, but ! think it
IS only a shadow of what is going to
be after a while.'

that because he did not gain control
in the beginning, and because he did

pretty good source that negotiations

ing.
Mr.. Monette, of Hayes Monette Mo
hawk lease fame who is operating a
lease ON the Mazuma Hills property,
recently declared after examining the
Seven Troughs mine that il was s
bigger proposition that the Mohawk
ever was, while John Harnan chief
owner in the Muzuma Hills, declares
that never was such a wealth of ore
disclosed at any camp in the world,
at the same age, as that boasted by
the Seven Troughs district. Coming
closer to home, and quoting a man who
is willing to back his statements with
almost any amount of money, it is
timely to relate that Captain o. A.
Tibbets said a couple of weeks ago
after inspecting the Seven Troughs
mine:
elf Manager Friedman win permit
and give me time to pick my crew.
| will wager any amount up to $4,000
that in sixty days with twenty five
men / can take out more than enough
ore and ship it in one car, than VIII

dump in modest grade ore while 1

This statement would indicate that
all of the rich ore has not been ship
ped to Selby.

dent:
The game of baseball yesterday be-
tween the 4sIho ar1 Ginne,ance.. base
ball teams resulted in victory for
the home team by a close margin, the
score standing to in favor of Elko.
The game opened with Winnemueea
at the bat.
Neither one scored in the first three
innings and but few of the players
even reached the first base As fast
as they came to the bat most Of them
famed the air and were left at the
home plate. In the fourth inning Elko
scored four tallies on hits by VIII and
Bob Critchley, Harry Mayer and Joe
Mcnamara. Joe sent the bali to right
field and it went through the fence
of the cattle corral The Winnemue-
ca men could not find it mad Joe and
the two men ON bases scored, Joe max
mig a home run. In the fifth inning
Clarence Angel of Winnemucea made
clean home run. This was the first
three more in the fifth which made
the score stand Z to /, In the 9th,
7th and Sth innings Elko failed to
score. The Winnemucca team scored
two talies in the sixth. one in the
seventh and two in the ninth, making
the score stand to g. The Elkoites
did not play their part Of the ninth.
The game was well played through

and did their best to win. Interest.
ing features of the game was a one
handed catch by Baker. the second
baseman for the Winnemucca team,
catch by Williams, Elko's second base
man, the all-round playing of Clar-
ence Angel, third baseman for Win
nemueca, and his stealing home in the
ninth inning. This was the cleverest
play of the game.
doe Mcnamara did good work in
the pitchers box for the home team.
He was well backed up by Bob Crit
chley as catcher.
Ben Nelson umpired the game. His
decisions created some dissatisfaction,
but on the whole they were fair and
just The only decision that did not
seem fair to the writer was allowing
the Elko team the three tallies made
on the lost ball The Winnemucca
team, however submitted gracefully
TO the decision and went on with the
game just as if nothing had happen

The teams now have game eSch
to their credit. The deciding game
will be warm one and it will proba.

BOUNTY rs PAID ON
10000 SPARROW EGGS

Although it is early in the season
the county has already paid out this
year 1925 as bounty on sparrow eggs.
The price paid is five cents a dozen,
and this means that the Youngsters
have brought in 10000 eggs, since the
beginning of the season, says the Salt
Lake Herald.
According to Frank Higginbotham,
county auditor. the county paidout
$500 last year as bount for sparrow
eggs, and he expects this year that
the amount will be considerably more
The opinion prevails that the. bounty
has been the cause of a notable de-
crease of the number of sparrows in
this section, and that if kept in force
long enough the -fftrfp birds viii be
gradually exterminated.

Flat Rock Sunday is al ways known in Putnam as the date for heavy rain and at least one mur- der.
 At the frolic negroes were gathered from the surrounding counties for miles around and passed through Eatonton in a long procession of every imaginable kind and style of convey. ance. No arrests have yet been made, as the shooting was so general, and the men and women alike had pistols and razors
