HORNSlLVER MINES AND
LEASES ARE PROSPECTING

The developing force of the Great
Western mine is now engaged in sink
ing the main shaft to the 300-foot level
and is making excellent progress. Mean
while the breaking and extraction of
ore are not neglected, resulting in the
shipping of about ten toni of ore daily,
says the Hornsilver Herald.
Friday, a carload was sampled at
Millers, which yielded an average of
$6S.30, all of silver value excepting
$40 in gold. The cost of Transports
ton and milling charges was sl4 a ton.
As the ore body is wide, there is splen-
did profit in mining it. The high grade
encountered in the slopes is being
sacked separately.
There is another carload EN- route to
Millers from Cuprite and still a third
car is being gathered at Cuprite by the
freight teams from the mine.
The continued stopping, aside from the
fact of extraction, does not seem to
hurt the mine, but shows the regularity
and continuity of the ore body and how
easy it is to cut out carload after ear
load.
The automobile truck, which was to
have been used for the transfer of ore,
broke down before any tests were made.
The broken parts are being replaced
from Los Angeles, which caused delay.
Grand View
OF all the many good things at grass
roots that have been struck in this
section of Nevada, perhaps the biggest

claim, which is situated about two miles
east of the Great Western mine and pre-
sumably upon the same ledge.
A prospect hole, seven feet deep,
shows a width of three feet of ore, and
the lowest assay from the vein, as re-
ported by T.. l.. %Stingley, is $50 a ton.
According to Mr.. Stingley, the entire
width of three feet is of a shipping
grade, and all of the material coming
out of the hole is being saved for sack
ing. About six tons of the ore has been
sacked and it is proposed to assemble
a shipment at the earliest possible date.

The Proskey Shipment

A trial shipment went out this week
from the Proskey No. l lease on the
estate of the Coalition Mines company
to the sampler at Hazen. Check sam
ping by the regularly employed assayer
of the Coalition company indicates the
ore to have an average value of 1902
per ton. 1t was mined in the Wine be-
ing sunk in the ledge recently encoun-
tered in the drive from the 65-foot
level. At present the daily production
of high grade does not exceed 1000
pounds, but it is the intention to at
least double the tonnage before the
close of the month.

FEELING GOLD
MINING CAMP ON EARTH

There is joy in the Solid Gold lease
camp up on Daisy hill. The Colonel
skips around like the proverbial lamb,
Bill Madigan's conversation has be-
come rational and printable, Contractor
Rice has the smile hat won come off
and Cy johnson purrs around like a con-
tented cat, says the Round Mountain
Nugget.
After a seemingly endless succession
of weeks the Solid Gold mill has finally
been found and hence the changed con-
ditions in the tempers of those in
charge.
On Wednesday a big consignment
came in from Austin and now what re-
mains to come in has at least been
located.
General Manager Cy johnson has
been away for several weeks in San
Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento and all
intervening railroad points and gath
cred together the various shipments OF
the long lost mill. Parts of it were
found in Sacramento.
Mr.. johnson stated that unless the
various parts deliberately went to work
and lost themselves again that the mill
would be at work by the end of this
month or DUNG the early part of next.
Three machine drills have arrived
and the compressor will be ready with
in the next ten days to set them to
pounding.

Railroad Work Resumed

Work was resumed on the railroad of
the Rawhide Western company the
present week, and it is stated there is
to be no further cessation until track
is laid and trains are running regularly
between Rawhide and main line connec-
ton near Schurz. A gang of Japanese
is now laying steel at Murdoch, six
miles below Schurz, to connect the
Southern Pacific tracks with the local
line. A large force of graders is at
work IL miles from Rawhide closing up
the gap in the grade which was left
therein until cooler weather. 1t now
appears probable that trains will be
running into the camp before Christ
mas.

cal with that being mined with such
great degree of profit from the drifts
and slopes at the 65-foot level. 1t APP
pears probable the ore bodies are iden-
teal, but owing to the broken up nature
of the intervening formation it will re-
quire considerable further development
to prove, or disapprove that deduction.
Should it prove true an area of backs
will be available extending from the
2oO-foot level practically to surface.
Development work is progressing under
favorable conditions in all portions of
the workings and is associated with the
mining of about $4,000 worth of high
grade ore every thirty days.
The Kearns No. 1
A shipment of IS tons of $3.50 per ton
ore is being prepared at the Kearns No.
l lease on the Queen estate and will
probably go out about October Goth.
The ore is being mined in the drift
from the 70-foot level of the main
workings, the deposit there exposed
completely filling the face and break
ing to a high milling average. The
average of $3.50 per ton on the shipping
product is maintaining by screening the
ore. For some weeks past the output
from the Kearns No. / lease has been
somewhat curtailed, but the fault does
not lie with the ore bodies, but rather
with the management. 1t is now an
nounced that the lease is again to be
placed upon a regularly productive
basis, a circumstance which assures n
monthly product of at least 20 tons of
ore having a gross total value of 80,
500.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-10-17

contact Herewith from the 200-foot
level of the main workings. The ore
coming from the open cut shows gold
and silver in the free and sacks at the
rate of $500 per ton. The shoot will
probably be tapped at a depth of 200
feet within ten days. Considering the
recognized worth of the Ogilvie- Rey-
nolds holding the stock in the camp
which does not find ready sale at $3.50
per thousand shares-present price of
Ogilvie- Reynolds-henee it is not un.
likely that there is a Senegambian in
the greasewood in the vicinity of that
valuable Balloon hill leasehold.
The Truett Lease
AT a meeting of the finance commit
tee of the Rawhide Coalition Mines
company held recently in Reno, it was
voted to extend the lease of the Truett
Rawhide company to July l, 1910, or
for an additional six months. The ae.
tion was taken on condition that the
Truett management. install a mill for
the treatment of it's ores and that the
main working shaft be sunk to a depth
of 200 feet by August l, 1909. If the
shaft reaches a depth of 800 feet prior
to July /, 1910. the lease is extended to
December 81, 1910, which would give it
20 months to run from the present date.
The Truett management agrees to be-
gin erection of a lotion mill within
forty days from October ., and to have
it completed and in operation within
five months. In consideration of that
agreement the Coalition company estab-
fishes a graduated royalty on ores. The
Truett lease has been operated con
tinuously since March Z, and more than
100000 have been expended in develop
ment work. Since the middle of May
the lease has shipped ore regularly to
both sampler and mill.

LET US BE SANE.

The News stands for temperance. Its
position is the opposite of drunkenness
and of fanaticism. 1t is opposed to the
mob; for mobs mean anarchy, and it is
opposed to having verdicts directed by
popular clamor before persons charged
with crime are brought to trial.
The law presumes every man inno-
cent until he shall be proven guilty by
due process of law. In times of public
excitement, particularly when politics
are involved, grave acts of injustice are
sometimes perpetrated in the courts in
response to popular hysteria.
Such was the case when Mrs. Surratt

regarded. Away with the Coopers, is
the cry.
The News does not pretend to pass
judgment on the Coopers. Like all the
other newspapers it can form its opin-
ions upon hearsay evidence not admis-
sible in courts of law From hearsay
evidence it would appear that the
Coopers, father and son, cOnspired to
kill Senator Carmack-but from hear
say evidence, sworn testimony in court
often differs.
Then, those editors, who have deliv-
cred themselves of ponderous editorials
urging Gov. Patterson to display the
same zeal in the prosecution of the
Coopers that he exhibited in appre-
hending the Reelfoot lake night-riders,
should know that the duties of the
governor ceased when the night-riders

coin, such is now known to be the fact
regarding the execution of all except
one of the Chicago anarchists. Such
was the case more recently in the po-
litical trial and conviction of Caleb
Powers.
Much criticism is just now directed
toward Judge Hart for the postpone
ment of the trial of the Coopers, charg-
ed with the murder of ex-senator Car
mack. The prisoners have been tried
by considerable portion of the news
papers of Tennessee and all that re-
mains is mere formality of empanel-
ling jury to return verdict of guilty.
Rules of evidence, the slow growth of a
thousand years, are to be cast aside in
this particular case. The laws and

lection of life and liberty, are to be dis

martyr to the doctrine of statewide
prohibition. He was a politician, not
a reformer. Give him credit for ability,
for large ambitions for patriotism up
to the level of the average man in pub
lie life. To all of this he is entitled to
no more, no less.

Niirth and Medicine.

I know of nothing equal to a
cheerful and even mirthful conversa-
tion for restoring the tone of mind
and body, when both have been over
done. Some great and good men, on
whom very heavy cares and tolls
have been laid, manifest q constitu-
tional tendency to relax into mirth
when their work Is over.
Narrow minds denounce the in
congruity; large hearts own Gods
goodness in the fact, and rejoice in
the wise provision made for prolong-
ing useful lives. Mirth. after ex-
haustive toll, is one of natures in
stinctive efforts to heal the part
which has been racked or bruised.
You cannot too sternly reprobate
a frivolous life; but IL the life be
earnest for God or man, with here
and there a layer of mirthfulness
protruding, soft bedding to receive
heavy cares. which otherwise would
crush the spirit, to snarl against the

useless occupation of small man,
