Some years ago a St. Louis judge won local
fame by deciding in a divorce case that a man
could strike his wife once without laying him
self liable to the charge of excessive cruelty. a
Long Island City magistrate, in attempting to
define the rights of CANNES, says every dog IS
entitled 10 his bite as well as his day, and two
nibbles are required 10 place him on the list OF
malefactors. Carrying this decision to its logical
conclusion it is only fair to assume that every
Individual is entitled TO his choice between one
bank robbery and murder. and that only
after the second attempt can there be any pre-
sumption of guilty intent. It isn't fair TO close
the doors of opportunity to all except WIFE
beaters and dogs.

Goldfeld, by whom the ground was
located.
Will Let Leases
In compliance with many requests
that have been received during the last
week or two, it is understood that the
Seven Troughs Gold Cord Mining com
pany has decided to let a number of
leases on it's property which is located
almost within the limits of the town of
Mazuma.
Hayes-Reagan Lease
There seems to be no end to the
wealth of the Hayes & Reagan lease on
the property of the Mazuma Hills Min
ing company. The latest development
is the disclosures on the 165-foot level
in the north drift from the bottom of
the shaft of the phenomenally rich ore
shoot that was first encountered in a
winze on the 65-foot level.
Strike on Big Dipper
Trenching on the surface has re-
vealed a strong fourteen-inch quartz
and tale vein on the Big Dipper claim
of the Big Dipper Mining company,
near the town of Vernon, that bears
every earmark of developing into a fine
body of ore with further development,
The ledge lies between a basalt hanging
wall and a yellow porphyry footwall
and runs north and south. Assays
taken show that it averages thirty dol.
lars a ton across it's entire width.

Boyd basin (Florence) district is the
most highly mineralized gold bearing
region in the state. Already fortune
hunters are vending their way to this
camp.
The TOWNSHIP of Florence that was
just laid out a few days ago, has al
ready commenced to grow rapidly. At
present a store, lodging house, black
smith shop, two saloons, a restaurant
and several families compose tho town.
The town badly needs a doctor, an
assayer. a druggist and a few carpen-
ters. Seemingly everyone that comes
here with the intention of going into
business soon gets the gold fever and
goes to mining. Boyd basin, as the
name indicates, is a basin up in the
pine forest range, with an elevation of
$500 feet, and has q very delightful
climate. A beautiful mountain stream
flows through the town, which provides
water for all domestic purposes. Wood
for both domestic and mining purposes
il in abundance.

Of the greatest free milling ore liscov-
cries in recent years has just been made.
This vast mineral belt is confined prin-
cipally to the pine forest range that
extends from the Oregon line on the
north to the Blackjack desert on the
south. The formation in tho great
part consists of granite and porphyry.
The remarkable feature of the ore
zone is the vast number of large lodges
that vary from ten to thirty feet in
width. On many of these lodges free
gold can be panned across the entire
face with values from $40 to $40 per
ton. Many high grade streaks arc
found in the lodges from four to eight
inches in width which assay many
times up into the thousands. g. A.

Origina! Lease
Pctersan & Bratton, who started work
on their lease on the Original Bullfrog
only a few days ago, have already taken
out 80 sacks of ore which it is estimated
will run $500 to the ton. 1t is the rich

At the Burns-Anglin- Peterson lease
on the Capricorn the shaft is being
sunk to the 100-foot level from which

Nevada Hills Elects Directors

CCvdOa kxAAkb 64OCto Ia
Tho annual meeting of tho share
holders of the Nevada Hills Mining
company was held in Salt Lake last
week and resulted in the election Of
the retiring board of directors, which
consist of Windsor v. Rice, w. III.
Clark, James Farrell, John T. Hodson
and John A. Kirby of Salt Lake,
w. H. Weber Of Fairview, Nevada,
and J.. r. Davis of Goldfeld, Nevada.
The new board will probably meet in
a few days for organization, and there
is no doubt that it will be the same as
last year.
South Fairview
Development work is still progressing
steadily on all of tho mines in the
southern end Of the district. The Miz-
pah, in order to get a good air circula-
tion, is running an .upraise to connect
with the shaft. The Chandoin lease on
this property is improving as the ore
body is opened up. The force on the
Atlantic is working steadily, and ex-
pects to tap the lode at any time. The
Nevada Crown is waiting for the miss
ing parts of tho hoist. As soon as these
arrive tho force of twelve men now at
work will be doubled. Work on the Los
Angeles group has been suspended for
a time, but will be resumed shortly,
with a larger force. In a letter from
w. Davey of the Red Rock, he said
that his company would probably start
soon. This company has uncovered
some good ore bodies. In fact, it has
found ore in all of the workings. With
a settlement Of the wage question other
southern properties will resume activ-
ity, and that end Of the district will
be working many men before snow flies
again.

MOUNTAIN VIEW SECTION
IMPROVING WITH DEPTH

The Mountain View section still con
tinues to improve as depth is attained
says the Lyon County Times.
The shaft on the Brooks Graham lease
on the Big 20 is down over so feet. ali
in ore of a good milling grade, and a,
the bottom the entire shaft is in ore
which will average around 800 pei
ton in value. Ore will be shipped from
this lease as soon as a wagon road can
be built from the main Granite-Loma
road at Hoppin's camp to the leases on
the Big 20. This road will be about a
mile long.
The Lam arrett-L amkin lease has
made rapid Roadway installing their

They expect to drift to their ore shoot
at the 100 level.
Leasers Opening Ore
On the Mountain View side the leas-
ers, who were somewhat later in get
ting started, are beginning to open ore.
A carefully averaged sample of the
Lucky 3 lease on the north side ground
in the town of Mountain View, taken
from the dump, supposed to be waste,
gave a return of $40 per ton. This in
dicates the near approach to high grade

foot shaft.
The Big 4 lease, at the face of their
20O-foot tunnel, driven toward the
Mountain View ledge, has encountered
cross seams giving good gold paintings,
indicating strong values in the ledge
ahead, which is estimated to be not
more than 20 feet distant.
Bib and Ball, on their b. & B. lease
on the Sonimita claim, are working on
a ledge 5 feet in width, which yields
an assay value of 50 per ton. They are

$32, 500 to the ton in gold. The state

their appearance some of the specimens
which he had with him will run ve,y
much higher than this. They were
principally gola.
Leas RS or Laid
Tsere have hecn 10 important L'v.i
opments in thel eases on Ladd mountain
this week, but the leasers are all &C.
lively going after tho ore.
Boyd, Kalaher & Belin, who have q
lease on the main workings of the Ma
tional Bank, have taken out about 2(
tons of high grade, which will be treat
ed at the Sparkling mill. This ore will
probably average in the neighborhood
of 800 to the ton.
A. E. Holt is still sacking high grade
and Lemle and associates are preparing
another shipment at their Bullfrog Min
ing leases.
Bacigalupi & Logland are drifting or
their vein and will follow it to the sur
face from the 35-foot level, to expedite
the handling of the ore. They have
taken out about 100 sacks of shipping
ore in the course of development.
Good Milling Grade
The drift from the 450-foot point in
the main crosscut of the Montgomery
Mountain is in SO feet and is carrying
a full face of ore which pans good mill
ing values all the way across. Wher

encountered. with every indication that
il will shortly develop into shipping ore.
VIII Make Shipment
A shipment of two carloads of ore,
which has lain on the dump of the
Wilson Gold Mines company for some
time. will be made the coming week, as
satisfactory rates have been obtained
from the railroad. This ore is expected
to Weld over $4,000 to the ear Mt the
mill. 1t will be milled at Silver City.
There are twelve leases in addition to
those mentioned now being worked on
the Mountain View side, most of which
are doing the necessary dead work to
open ore showing obtained IN the sur
face.
Salt Laker's Opinion
In conclusion, to quote a prominent
Salt Lake mining man: 81 have never
visited a camp where practically all the
leases had ore of n payable quality be-
fore, and / will say that | heartily in
dorse the attitude of the owners in re-
fusing to adopt the boom and boost
method of mining so much in vogue to-
day, preferring to put stock buyers
money into the development of the
properties rather than into the pockets
of space writer's and buyable news
papers. ] will say further, that all the
mining being done, whether by either
the Wilson Gold Mines company, the
Red Crow Gold Mines company or the
Walker Reservation g.. NJ. & M. Co.
(Big 20), or any of the leasers is per-
fectly legitimate and fully warranted
by the showing on the ground, and ]
will venture to say that there is not a
camp in the state today that
presents as many opportunities to both
and buyers Of legitimate mining
properties as does the Mountain View

THOROUGHLY DEVELOPED

The Fairview-M izpah Mining com
pany arc owners of the great Mizpah
estate of Fairvicw, now under rapid
development by the company and three
leasing companies, says the Churchill
Standard. The Mizpah estate is con-
sidered one of the greatest gold-silver
discoveries ever made in the state, and
the shaft at O depth of 20 feet has en-
countered high grade ore running as
high as $4,000 to the ton. A crosscut
tunnel is now bei1g run, and it is al
ready over $50 feet, to catch this ore
shoot at a depth of ESQ feet, and is
equipped with Sheffield ore cars, rails
blacksmith shop, etc. The company
expects to commence shipping high
grade ore within the next sixty days, OF
as soon as the upraise from the tunne'
to thoroughly ventilate the underground
workings is completed.
Active Leasers
The Bretz lease on tho Mizpah has
high grade ore opened up in several
places and a 15-horse power Fairbanks

MACNAMARA IS
MAKING SPLENDID SHOWING

The output from the mine is now one
carload of about 81 tons every two
days, three shipments having been
made within the past six days. This
ore is going to the Belmont mill at
Millers, as very satisfactory returns
have been received from all former
lots. The work in the mine continues
to be confined to the westerly workings
on the 300-foot level, about 900 feet
west of the shaft, where excellent ore
bodies are being developed. A west
drift from the south crVsseut has been
started and is now in about 10 feet.
The face shows about Z feet Of quartz,
about 3 of which is good ore. As the
values have just come in, il is thought
that the whole body of quartz will be
ore of good value within the next few
feet. Stopping continues in No. 3 raise
from the main west drift, about 40 feet
east of the south crosscut, and about :
feet of good milling ore is being ex.
tracted. Underhand Stopping has just
been started OF this ore body and the
face looks fine. The slopes from the
south erosscut, $40 feet west Of the
shaft, are now up 80 feet, and are being
carried with a 25-foot breast, and show
the vein to be 5 feet wide, all of which
is of good milling value and partly
oxidized.
Montana
The Montana mill keeps up the record
for extraction, the average last week
being nearly 80 per cent, a little over
LOO tons having been run through.
The general condition of the mine looks
better now that it has for months, both
in quality and quantity of ore, recent
the reserves of the mine. A total of
166 feet of new work was done last
week.
On the first. or 390-foct level, a south

the shaft to develop up a block of new
territory. The face Of the crosscut
a mixture of porphyry and
quartz, carrying low values. The
on a portion Of the Macdonald
vein on this level continue to look good,
the face showing about 8 feet Of mill
ing ore.
West End Consolidated
There is nothing new to report from
this property this week. The regular
prospecting and development work is
being carried on on the 200-foot level
with no change from last report. Stop
ing continues on the big ledge OF the
400-foot level, and a fair grade of ore
extracted. The new shaft is now down
about 800 feet and making good head
way. Two carloads of ore were shipped
to the Belmont mill this week. This is
their first shipment to that mill, and If
regular consignments will

Stopping continues on the vein cast from
the old Fraction No. i shaft, on the $50
and 300-foot levels. This vein shows
about the same as last report, varying
from Q to 8 feet Of good milling ore,
with some punches of high grade.
About so tons Of ore a day arc being
sent to the Belmont mill for reduction.
Belmont
Tho Belmont mill at Millers is now
working up to nearly its fully capacity,
So of the so stamps having been
