ARMY AND NAVY RIFLE
RANGE IN CALIFORNIA

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE departure OF,
the feet for the Pacific has stimula ted in!
terest in the project for a rifle range on
the Pacific coast on the order of that at
Guantanamo, Cuba. President Roosevelt,
believes that sailors and marines should
keep up their rihe practice no matter In.
what part of the world they may be and
it IS not improbable that before the ar
rival of the fleet arrangements will have
been made for the summer practice at
some point on the Pacific coast.
Some years ago congress had before It
the subject of permanent military camp
grounds and in 1904 the committee on mill
tary affairs of the House miner
the purchase of the Rancho Del Encinai
in San Louis, Obispo county. .al. This is
one of the properties spoken of as the pos
sible site Of a range on the Pacific coast,
and a bill has been introduced this session
authorizing the secretary of war to pur-t
chase 1t at a price of not more than $780,
900. 1t is thought unlikely that any such
sum would be expended In the mere pur-
chase of ground for a rife range, but a.
combination of the war and navy de-
partments with the state of California
might be effected SO that all or a part of
this property or some other in this vicin-
ity could be purchased for a rifle range,
and possibly a camp ground.
Troops can embark at any port on. the
Pacific coast and disembark within an
easy march of the range" says the report
or the military committee, 'and most of
that distance over land already owned by
the United States government which can
be reserved and added to the range. In
addition TO the benefit derived from cheap
transportation on water the troops Will
nave the advantage of instruction in em-
barking and disnmbark.ng as well as OF

MAzUMA HILLS A
WINNER
Another Shipment Of Ore
Sent to Smeltcf

There is at least one Seven Troug hi
organization that believes in sending
out to the world some substant la
evidence Of the character Of ore de-
velopments within its lines. and that
is the Mazuma Hills, says the Salt
Lake Tribune. General Manager
Bischof arrived in Salt Lake Tuesday
morning from the Seven Troughs dis
trict, and is expecting car of MAJ
una Hills ore in the local market at
any hour. The Mazuma Hills COM
pany is one of the most faithful Of
Nevada gold ore shippers, but as the
organization is a very close corpora
tion, it is not often that the world
hears of its doings.
Mr.. Bischof very reluctantly stated
Tuesday morning that the car con.
tanned 80 tons of ore, Is tons Of
which will run between $400 and
$500 in gold, while five tons will not
fall below $1,000 per ton in the yell
low metal.
1t il nothing unusal for us to send
out such g car" he said. "but we are
saying very little about the company,

Troughs camp to publish the above
values you are welcome to do SO. The
better element of the district is sat-
isfied with the way the mines are
opening up. They do not want

where, but all our energies are Gen.
tered on finding ore bodies alta depth.
Seven Troughs is a wonderful district
and it will be producing gold on
large scale when many better known
districts have been forgotten. The
camp looks better today than it ever
has. The Mazuma Hills? Oh, that
is bound to look better. for We are
gaining good depth, and it is estab-
lished that Seven Troughs ore bodies

come a great money making cam
and while a great deal of stress

of that district carry very rich ore
and while they do, unquestionably
think that the great wealth of tt
camp is going to be found in the bi
masses of milling rock. II the bi
boosters of the camp would talk NOR
about the size of the lodges to
found there, | am sure the distric
would be the gamer. This does nc
mean that lots Of rich rock will nc
be shipped from the district; it sin
ply means that the district ought [
lay greater stress upon the fact ths
large lodges are to be found ther
and they are near the surface; that /
the stuff; that counts and that is III
stuff that is going to count whe
everybody gets down to business.
Battle Mountain is coming to tn
front with rapid strides and muc
money is evidently seeking invest
ment there. Gold Circle is gettin
started right, and | think that ther
is no question about her future
While they have rich streaks of or

They are backing on the milling ore
