Influence of Books.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Again We have another book launched
on the public and advertised by a ques-
ton Of its morality" A book 10 be
cIassed with The Family" and Divine
Fire" A book that is to be kept from
the young, but safe for older heads to
read.
In looking over these books, the first
thought that comes to the mind is: Is il
possible for such literature Qf it can be
cIassed such) TO emanate from a brain
that is mentally moral?
A book that lays the foundation and
description for the degradation Of men
and women. a book that destroys the
most sacred part Of life, the home, family.
.sacredness Of marriage, and eternal bond
of parentage
Can such book come from a moral
mentality?
There are thousands Of men and women
struggling to 1--we better lives: some are
tollers and some are living in comfort
able homes. The struggle is not confined
to any one class; the millionaire has more
temptations than the man who must
work each day in order 10 support him
self and family. Work is a great bless
ing, and he or she who has none Through
wealth. is to be pitied. Idleness is usually
more susceptible to demoralizing infiu-
ence than that which is good. and here
is where books Of the above class find
their readers.
The strangest part OF these books IS.
they come from wives and mothers
women who claim to be happy in their
home life. One would naturally expect
from such a source a book that would
elevate and inspire men and women TO a
higher and better life. not books that
degrade and drag down to the lowest
degree.
In years to come, would these authors
like to see their daughters or sons drama
tie their literary efforts in real life? VIII
the child look back on its mothers book
with pride or shame?
Such books are TO the mind what foul
air is TO the lungs, obscene pictures to
the eye, and vulgar, blasphemous Ian
guage is TO the ear.
Again let me ask, Can such books come
from mind that is mentally moral?

DE Indicative Of the work of those oper-
ating in Hornsilver. The advice of n
rich strike on the Jordan lease on the
Silver King mentioned in these columns
last week, has been confirmed in n
gratifying n by the week devcl-
opments. At the present stage of the
work there is exposed a vein fully FIVE
feet wide which carries $50 in gold.
with a limited amount of silver. The
showing is of a nature to Justify those
interested in procuring a hoist and
making preparations for shipping, and
to this end a company has been formed
by J.. j. Jordan, Z. II. Kcnnard and H..
L.. Fritz. These are all practical min.
ing men, and their action is of consid.
cradle significance.
This property is just east of the
Silver King company's shaft, and on
Tuesday evening advice was received
from Superintendent McNaughton that
the north crosseut being run from the
100-foot level had encountered the vein
which has been exposed on the Jordan
lease. At the time this advice was re.
ceived the vein has just peer met, and
its size is of course a matter for devel.
opment to show. At the point men
toned, however, values of $40 in gold
were obtained. superintendent Me
Naughton is of the opinion that it is
reasonable to expect the Silver King
to be shipping within ten days or two
weeks.
The winze on the Great Western
which showed such rich values is now
down IS feet, but work on it has been
discontinued on account of the Difficult
ties attendant upon raising the ore.
The east drift on the 200 level is now
about so feet from the point where en-
n~ection will be made with the Wine,
and drifting is now in progress to reach
this point; when this is accomplished
an upraise of only Is feet will be nee
essary, and the management will then
be in a position to take out the ore in
large quantities. The west drift on the
200 level is in a grade of ore that will
average better than 5000 a ton. The
west drift on the 100 level is entering
an ore shoot carrying good ore and it is
expected that shipments will be made
from this point before long. From this
drift a crosscut has been run to the
north, for purposes of exploration, and
a parallel vein has been passed through
which shows ore of good milling values.
The MCGOWAN lease on the Great
Western has reached a depth Of so feet
and shows two feet of good shipping
ore, and the Bradley lease just to the
west of MCGOWAN has fully Is inches OF
ore of shipping value.

ore has been sacked from the grass
roots. On the Thompson Oswald lease
two shifts are working and are sinking
and drifting. They have some fine
bodies Of ore blocked out and several
thousand dollars worth of ore on the
dump.
Chiquita Con. n. Co.
The Chiquita Con. Mining company,
Z. J. Knight, manager. is meeting with
success in the operation Of its mines at
Camp Juniper, in the Spirit mountains,
Lincoln county, twenty miles south of
Searchlight. A 20o-foot shaft has been
sunk in the development of this prop
crty, from the bottom of which a drift
has been run on a body of ore four feet
in width which is free milling and
which will run from $50 to 800 per ton
in gold. The property is equipped with
a three stamp mill and cyanide plant,
and the works will treat from ~ to 16
tons of ore daily. The extraction is
about rs per cent on the plates, and the
re-treatment of the tailings by cyanide
brings the recovery up to about 30 per
cent of the assay value of the ore.
Yellowstone q. m. Co.
Raymond A. Sermon, of Salt Lake, is
now manager of the property of the
Yellowstone Gold Mining company To-
Gated in the Newberry mountains of
~Searchlight district, Lincoln county,
Nevada, twenty-five miles southeast of
searchlight. This mine is well equipped
with a two-stamp mill which is in sue
cessful operation. The mill has a
cyanide annex, and the plant is run
ming on ore going $50 to the ton. The
recovery, on the plates, is.s3 per cent of
the assay value of the ore. The tail
ings are cyanided, and the total recov-
cry is in the neighborhood of 80 per
cent. In the mine workings there is n
large tonnage of ore blocked out ready
for extraction and the mill. 1t is the
intention to list tho stock of the COM
pany on the Salt Lake exchange some
timc this summer.

district was held last Saturday evening
and in addition to adopting the set of
resolutions regarding the wage scale
which appears in another part Of this
issue, they reached an understanding
regarding the rights of a man working
a property, which is of interest. Under
this agreement, as it may be termed, a
man can work a vein right up to his
boundary lines, but has not the right
to follow the vein any further. This
means that so long as those nov heav-
lily interested in the district have the
right Of decision, the camp will be free
from any apex or extra-lateral troubles.

Six assays gave values from $50 to go
in gold.
Great western Group
The work ON the Morgan lease has
been confined to the central vein dur
ing the last week. The timbering Of
the shaft has been finished and sinking
resumed.
Bradley & Mckay, on the Mohawk
Fraction, have spent the week in ex
tending the open cut along the south
eriv. or Great Western vein proper.
This is now fully so feet in length with
an average of nearly 10 feet. 1t ex-
poses the beautiful hanging wall of that
vein and ore Of varying thickness the
entire distance. Numerous assays put
the general average at about $50, 40 per
cent of il being gold.
Chute, MCGOWAN & Coffee are now
down SO feet in their shaft, and while
no material change has occurred. cross
cutting or drifting is in order.
Fogg & Donovan, on the Nettie L.
Extension block 3, have finished timber
ing the shaft and resumed sinking.
Some progress has been made on the
other leases on the Nettie l.. Extension.
Limo Point Group
The Scott lease on the deep shaft of
the Lime Point NJ. & NJ. Co. has not yet
begun work.
The Murray lease is down 20 feet
with the vein matter changing slightly.
Two shafts are engaged in sinking.
The Ernest lease is down 40 feet with
the whole bottom of the shaft in ore.
The showing is so good that they are
organizing a company to operate the
lease.
The leases of Jones & Byford, Kilrain
& Co. and Sheriff ingalls, and associates
are all looking well.
Other L@asers
Faunce & Whiting, on Indiana No. 4,
are extending their trenching opera
tion..
Ingram & Dilley are down about Az
feet on the Passover No. p.
The Aired lease on the Jessie claim
is down about 35 feet without material
change.
Pilger & Mauk, on Netttie l.. No. 4,
have nearly reached the prosecuting
point, 80 feet deep.
Kinds, Kavanaugh & DeKarr, on Net
tie l.. No. 4, have crosscut both north
and south. To the north they have
made some Ia feet, the entire distance
being in ore of good milling value, run
ming SIS to $50, and the cut to the
north, some IL feet, also carries ore.
The work will be continued to the walls
of the vein, when high grade shipping
ore is anticipated. While the shaft is
fully 900 feet east of the main Great
Western shaft, it is evidently in the
same big vein of that mine. This shoot
of ore is but a counterpart of shoots
opened up in the Great Western work
ings. The great width of solid milling
ore is proof of it.

FOR TITLE TO
A SEARCHLIGHT MILL

And the question is: Who does own
the old Homestake MILF asks the
Searchlight Bulletin.
IL the real owner will kindly step for
ward he will find several parties ready
and anxious to deal with him. In the
meantime Searchlight has been the
scene of a fierce combat for the imme-
date possession of the plant, and the
road between here and the property is
lined on either side with dead sol
diers'' of the Bourbon and Hermitage
regiments. To those most interested
the situation is just about as clear as
mud.
Santa Barbara Mining Co.
In an upraise, which is being run by
the Santa Barbara Mining company in
the Rich Hill mine from the tunnel
through to the surface for air connec'
ton, a foot of sulphide ore has been ex'
posed which assays $2,002.9s in silver
to the ton.

has cut a second lead in its crosscui
tunnel. The strike was made so feet
in and exposed 10 feet of ledge. Super
intcndent j. A. Delameter reports that
the ore is of a very satisfactory grade
Chiquita Consolidated
The Chiquita Consolidated Mining
company is suffering from internal
troubles. A diagnosis of the case, how
ever, appears to reveal nothing of o
serious nature, and, barring compiled
tions, an early settlement and resump
ton are expected.
Mob Hill Properties
Incident to the marked revival OF
general mining at Mob Hill, Is miles
north of this place, one man has re
called some of its old chloriding days
All of the property mentioned is prob
ably comprised in a plot of about two
miles square.
The Combination mine, formerly the
Old Blaine, produced in these surface
chlorides something like $150,000. There
is positive record of $4,000. About
900 feet of work has been done, and a
depth gained of lis feet. 1t is probably
the foremost example of the crude
chloriding work extending back to 30
years.
The Rich Hill property of the Santa
Barbara company is an old timer. The
old mule back trail leading to the river
mill, along which the Southwest Mining
company transported its ore, is still
pointed out. The present owners
bought about six months ago, paying
$4,000. As a 100-ton gas smeltcr Is
now being erected by the company, il
may well be inferred that its value ha.
already multiplied many times.
