STILL DISCUSSING OUTLOOK
FOR THE SHELTER TRUST

A metallurgical expert. who has recent
ly inspected the Garfield smelter, reports
to US that there is between 5000 and 100.-
0O0 tons of ore piled up there awaiting
treatment. says the Boston News Bureau.
He reports that the smelter under the
management of Carl Eilers. who originally
constructed il, is now making good. and
that smelling costs are close to those or
the Washoe plant and the saving of the
metals is excellent. thus disposing of the
charge that the Utah Copper concen-
trates are now making large dust losses
He saws that the trouble with the Gar
field smelter was largely due to the man
agement of Willard Morse and his assist
ants. who are all of them blast furnace
men, The reverberatortes did not work
well at first. probably because the blast
furnace people lacked the necessary abil-
ity to run them and at one time the dis
carding of the reverberatories was con-
sidered with the idea of briquetting the
fine Utah Copper concentrates and run
ming them through TIE blast furnaces.
This would have practically neeessitated
the rebuilding of the plant.
Carl Eilers commended that the reverber-
atories should be given chance to work
been good. for they are now working sat
isfactorily. and the Garfield smelter
should soon be able to begin to catch up
with its ores.
The fact that Heinze has secured the
old Majestic smelter and will. after Jan.
l, accept ores under contract from the
Silver King Coalition company. is blow
TO the Guggenheim interests in Utah
They figured that Heinze would not be
able TO live up TO his contract. The loss
of these ores will materially affect the
business of the Murray plant of the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company
That companys smelter at Helena.
Mont, is also losing considerable bust
ness as the Washoe plant is increasing its
custom ore business, the Washoe sampler
being crowded with small lots of high
grade outside ores that formerly went to
the smelter trust plant at Helena

OLD SUNSHINE
READY TO MOVE
New Company'S Mill Practical
ly FiniShed-WiII Begin
First of Year.

From the manner in which things are
shaping up. the Boston-Sunshine Gold
Mining company will be turning out the
yellow metal at the old Sunshine prop
erty at Mercur several weeks ahead of
time. II had not been expected that the
new milling plant would be ready to go
into commission until we'll along in Feb
ruary, but it now seems likely that every
thing will be running wide open by the
middle of January.
Master Mechanic G. w Wood, who
came in from camp yesterday TO remain
over Christmas, stated that the mill was
so far along that with the arrival of
few little things delayed in transporta-
ton, the plant might be put in commits
sion IN short order. AS it is. he says
he understands that Manager George III.
Dern proposes to begin operations in the
mine on the first of the year, SO as not
to delay starting the mill any longer
than necessary
Everybody from British Columbia to
Mexico with a scattering of knowledge
OF what was done at the old Sunshine,
said Mr. Wood, has expressed the opin-
ion that the new company would score
what they are talking about. The mill
Is being brought right up to the minute
IN its equipment and methods of han
ding low-grade gold acres, and | have
not the slightest doubt that the plant
will be success from the start. More
is known about the handling of the ores
of the Mercur district now than at any
time in the past. and this knowledge has
been applied in the equipment of the
Boston-Sunshlne. | don't care q rap
about the difficulties encountered by the
old company. The ores are not going
to be handled as they were in the early
days. By the processes introduced by
Manager Dern the ore is going to be
made to yield its values at small cost
and without trouble"
Mr. Wood says that it is proposed, with
the consent of Manager Dern, TO give
the mill its initial warming up by Civ
ing a dance in the big teaching tank,

F. A. HEINZE'S OPTION ON
THE MASCOTTE TUNNEL

A director of the Bingham Mines com
pany is quoted by the Boston News Bu-
reau as follows:
IF A. Heinze has not paid as yet for
the Mascotte tunnel. but he has an option
to purchase il for Sl56.00O and this option
still has two months to run. There is no
question but that he will exercise his OPP
ton. This tunnel is very necessary to the
operation of the Ohio Copper company
properties. with which Mr.. Heinze has
an option for the entire transportation Of
the ores.
MIR. Heinze also has an option at $780,
600 upon our old snelter which option has
over a year yet to run. but there is little
likelihood of his exercising that option"

HARRIS LEASE
STRIKE IS RICH
Letters From Seven Troughs
Indicate Great Bodies of
Sensational Gold Ore.

letter from Manager George Loudon
of the Florence Mining & Leasing com
pany. Seven Troughs. the company own
ing the Harris lease on a portion of the
Seven Troughs Mining company's ground
advises a friend in this city that the re-
cent strike is one of the really big things
that have taken place in the district
Last Sunday, according to the letter, an
average sample of two feet of ore on
the hanging wall side of the vein gave
returns of $500 in gold and $40 in sill
yer, while two feet on the footWall side
on the 2o0-foot level of the property
went S227.02 The ore came from the drift
on the 200-foot level of the property
which is the deepest point so far reached
The ledge is five feet thick. and Mr.. Lou
don declares the development is such that
II should be seen TO be fully appreci-
ated.
Yesterday a letter from Superintendent
Elhthorpe of the Seven Troughs COM
panys mines. who naturally has access
TO all lease workings on the company's
estate, said that an average sample tax
en- at the face of the drift and which in
cluded the whole five feet of ore with
all specimen rock thrown out went over
500 a ton. The high-grade stuff he said
would assay anywhere from 1850 to $40
900 ton The ore, he said, was identi-
cal with the rieh rock in the Seven
Troughs workings 400 feet to the south
and he had no doubt that the leased
block of ground would be found extreme
ly rich and productive.
This strike is simply another convinc-
ing piece of evidence tending to show
that the claims of the friends of the
Seven Troughs district have not reckoned
recklessly in their contention that the
camp of Goldfield will be outdone Seven
Troughs has the great advantage of Gold
field in the fact that its ores average
higher in value. while the lodges have
been proven true and permanent to
depth of more than 400 feet. with the
values increasing rather than diminish
ing. At the rate the camp is going now
ii is likely to beat the famous Comstock
lode in wealth of ores and values. 1t
is unquestionably the best gold camp in
Nevada today.

MEN FIGHT AND
MURDER FOR WATER
Tragedy Enacted Near Ohio
Town Due to Drought.

Bellefontaine, O., Sept. 14.-Ffghting
over the last drink of water left in
camp, the fierce drought having dried
up all the wells and springs in the vi
cinity, Frank Dadish was shot and
killed by two men at tho Ohio Elec-
trio railways construction camp Sum-
day.
Dadish was married and wanted the
water for his wife who is living in the
camp. The police are seeking Mike
Rulu and John Barica charged with
shooting.
In the last two weekg tho men have
had to tramp three miles to the Lewis
ton reservoir with pals to obtain
water. This morning only enough for
one drink was left in camp.
Rulu and Barica arrived at the pail
just as Dadish was pouring the last
bit of water into a cup to carry to his
wife The other men demanded that he
divide up the water. He refused and a
fight followed.
1t is charged that Rulu, in front of
Dadish and Barica at his back drew re-
volvers and fired at the man at the
same time. He dropped to the ground
and died in a short time. The two men
escaped.
The water that Dadish had been saw
ing for his wife was spilled on the
ground and no one got 1t.

IS BROKEN
A. J. Mckinney Finds Glover a
Valuable Crop.
$3.50 OFF fourteen ACRES

A. ]. Mckinney, on the Joel Eber-
sol farm two and half miles north
of Centerville raised the banner clover
seed crop of the season in Eastern In
diana. Fourteen acres were sown In
little red clover last year when the
field was seeded to wheat. Last June
this field yielded forty tons of cut
clover hay and sold at 500 per ton,
making a total of $3.50 that Mr. Nc
Kinney realized.
When the second crop of clover mat
ured it yielded total of fifty-seven
bushels or an average of 3A bushels of
threshed clover seed per acre. AS
clover seed is now selling at $40 per
bushel Mr.. Mckinney will realize from
his second crop $57O. The grand total
from the fourteen acres will be APP
proximately $3.50, record so far as
known, never equalled in this part of
the country.
The large crops of clover hay and
seed yielded this year on the Ebersol
farm is due to the fact that the crop
was so thick on the ground and the
plants being well stooled. The soil
on the Ebersol farm is considered the
equal of any in the state. 1t is ideal
for clover. The soil is of sandy clay
loan, known among farmers as sugar
tree" or white oak" land.
At the state fair which closed last
week, Walter Ratliff, one of the best
known agricultural experts in the
state told of the wonderful clover crop
raised this year by Mr.. Mckinney and
his statement was heard with the
greatest interest by the numerous
agricultural experts who attended the
fair.

RUSHED TO SAFETY
Adding Machine Company's
Employees Frightened by
Explosion of Gas.
PLANT AN ENTIRE WRECK.

Chicago, Sept. IA. - Nine persons
were dangerously injured, three prob
ably fatally, and many others less
severely hurt in an explosion of gas
in the vault Of the VAIL Adding Ma
chine company. 4O5 East Ohio street,
Saturday. One Numbered and fifty en-
ployes in the building fed In panic,
their struggles to reach places of safe
ty adding to the injuries from flying
glass and falling debris. Five of the
badly injured were girls and many
other young women were hurt by the
blast. One of the girls may die from
her burns. Another showed herself a
heroine, enduring intense pain from
her burns with a smile.
The explosion occurred on the fourth
floor of the new structure. The first
two floors are occupied by Pelouze
Scale company and the upper two
floors by the VAIL Adding Machine
company The explosion was due to
leaking gas in a brick and steel vault
