A MERGER

The Ely Consolidated Copper com
pany, it is said, will soon be absorbed
by the Nevada Consolidated, negotia-
tions having been in progress for some
time with that object in view, says the
Ely Mining Expositor. The Ely Con
solidated property adjoins the Ruth and
Star Pointer properties of the big com
pany and has been prospeeted through
four shafts, the deepest being the
Brilliant shaft, just south of the Ruth,
which is 625 feet deep.
The American, Rising Sun and Zack
shafts are eaeh down deep and have
opened ore bodies of promise. 1t was
from the Rising Sun that the shipment
was sent to the smelter last summer
which carried 20.2 per cent copper.
Drifting from the 600-foot point in the
Brilliant to reach the Rising Sun ore
body was well along when the property
was shut down last fall. The company
is controlled by the National Develop
ment company Of Salt Lake. of which
Willard Snyder is president.

DENVER S. DICKERSON
The New Governor of Nevada, Succeeding thu
Late John Sparks


was not long before that paper was a
power in the affairs of that county. His
business interests expanded so rapidly
that he found it necessary to give up
newspaper work. 1t was only for a few
months, however. for early last year
he started the Mining Exposition, now
one Of the leading daily newspapers of
Eastern Nevada.
About -four years ago Governor Dick
erson was married at San Francisco to
Miss Una Riley, daughter of one of the
pioneer families of the old town of
Hamilton, in White Pine county. They
now have two children. For some time
during the illness of Governor Sparks,
Diekerson was arranging to make his
home at Carson. 1t is now more than
probable that he will arrange his inter
ests in the eastern portion of the state
to allow himself and family to reside
permanently at the capital city.
That he will perform his duties well
his friends know. That he will be in
dependent and courageous in the man
ner in which he performs them his past
acts attest. One thing is assured: lie
will play no favories, and if any
changes are made in the personnel of
the state government as a result of his
power, the taxpayers can depend upon
il that the men whom he draws around
him will be there for a purpose and not
as indolent feeders at the public crib.
To his duties of chief executive of
the state. Governor Dickerson will
bring the benefit of a most varied ex-
perience. As a former county official of
White Pine he understands perfectly
the relations of the counties in their
dealings with the state. His experience
as county clerk perfectly equip him to
oversee i%ntelligently the auditing de-
partment of the states affairs. HIS
service as a volunteer in the Spanish
American wal gives him an intimate
grip on military and police affairs. His
work as a practical miner. and his per
sonal knowledge of unionism- he
suffered incarceration in an Idaho
. bull him in sympathetic
touch with the largest individual class
of the workers in the state, while his
holdings of mining property and real
estate and business interests will lend
a conservative tinge to all his official
actions.
In all the history of the state prob
ably there never was a man who en-
tered upon the duties of the guberna-
torial office so s%plendidly equipped in
every way in mind and character and
experience to fulfill completely the func-
tions of the Office.

COMPLIMENTS NEVADA

In a recent editorial the Anaconda
Standard has the following on Nevada:
Nevadans who came to Montana
when the mines of this state began to
display signs of %permanency and who
left the famous old Comstock when
that property began to show signs of
decaying, will be pleased to hear that

boom OF healthy proportions, one that
seems to have the element of durability.

many marked changes. Goldfeld. and
other towns have sprung up in a night

TWO FINDS AT
MORRIS CREEK

The latest news from Moorc's Creek
is to the effect that strikes have been
made a mile to the southeast of the
camp and three miles to the southwest
of it. thus charging the auriferous area
to a length of -four miles.
Frank Countermarsh, who is develop
ing a group of claims in which he is In
terested with. David Llewellyn and
Henry J. Bartlett has found a fne ledge
which cuts directly across the ground
in a northwest and southeasterly direc-
ton and can be traced along the surface
for its entire length. Good gold assays
have been returned from samples k
from this ledge where the work is be-
ing done. There are perfect walls,
which is one of the most apparent feat
ures of the lodges which have thus far
been opened up.
On the Frenzel lease, tt. men are
working in ore and samples picked from
the hanging wall at the bottom of the
shaft gave excellent paintings in gold
and concentrates.
Adjacent to the Erenzel lease on the
north is the Poor Stiff grouo owned b,
DIR. L. /. Breitstein, Franklin T.. Morse
and Henry J. Bartlett where .!e loca.
ton work has beer lone and all of it
on seams or lodges which give excellent
promise of developing as the work pro-
crosses. A 10-foot shaft on the Poor
Stiff No. l has as finely a defined hang-
ing wall as there is in the csmp up to
date.
Messrs. Trembath, Dull. Sr!livan and
Murphy, who are leasing IN the Baby
claim owned by c. w. Anderson, the
d%iscoverer and father of tie district,
are sinking and drifting steadily on
their four-foot ledge, and every pcEui
of it is milling ore which runs better
than $40 to the ton, while every once
in a while rich pockets and seains are
encountered which go up into The fancy
figures. Considerable ore has been
sacked, and it is quite probable that in
the neal future a few tons will be
hauled to Round Mountain for a test
run in the custom mill.

(By J. r. Haley.)

Wy -
Don s.. Dickerson, who by virtue of
the death of Governor John Sparks yes
terday, becomes Nevada chief magis-
trate can be depended upon to prove an
honor to the state whose destiny he now
controls.
He has seen all sides Of the world, is
a deep student, a careful observer, an
honest as well as n fearless man. Ten
years or more ago he came to Nevada
to take up his home. He first went to
work in the mines around Cherry Creek.
DIR. j. A. Ascher, now of Reno, was as
sociated with him in those days. Later
he went to Ely to engage in mining.
He was employed on some of the lead
ing properties there until the time the
people elected him county clerk of
White Pine, this on a Democratic ticket
and in one of the strongest Republican
counties in Nevada. Repeatedly, or at
each following election, he was again
chosen to the same position.
An evidence of the personality of
the man is found in the Democratic
state convention held here in 1906. He
came from White Pine as a delegate.
He was placed in nomination for lieu
tenant governor and Lem Allen, then
the lieutenant governor of the state was
nominated in opposition. Though he
made no contest he won the fight easily
and in the campaign that followed even
his Republican enemies conceded that
his work was one of the important fac
tors in leading the Democratic party to
victory in the fall of 1906.
He did not disappoint the confidence
the people placed in him, for during the
trying times of last winter when the
conservatives and the radicals were
striving for peace and peaceful meas
ures at Carson, his voice was always
heard on the side of moderation, "a fair
deal to every honest man.
Governor Dickerson was born in
Northern California, SO years ago. He
was raised around the mines, and after
completing his education he followed
this business. He went into Idaho,
worked in the mines and at the mining
business in that state until the out
break of the Spanish American war
when he was among the first to offer his

started for the front, but the troops
were held at Jacksonville, Florida, until

He is a newspaper man OF ability.
Several years ago he secured control of
the old White Pine News at Ely, and it
