the mill is completed and in operation.
I am informed that this will be about
the LIST of September. With the
enormous bodies Of ore blocked out in
the various properties and the develop
ments in the Mohawk. particularly, at
depth, there Is no reason to believe thai
the mill will not be run at it's full ca
pacity for many years. and even be en-
larged. insuring to the shareholders a
steady income from the stock.
e II have been misquoted in certain
newspapers regarding the political stu
alton. In the matter of selection of a
Republican candidate for president, l..
have no choice among the men whose
names are mentioned for the position.
In reality, there has been no concerted
effort in behalf of any candidate except
Mr.. Taft, who has a great many Wash
ington newspaper men on his staff, as
well as a strong organization working
in his behalf. l hope Nevada will send
a strong. uninstructed delegation to the
convention.
1.-The senatorial situation in Nevada
has developed no new features recently.
Senator Newlands will undoubtedly be
a candidate for reelection. Only one
Republican candidate has thus far come
into prominence and that is Senator I.

GOLIATH sYMDrcArE GETS
TWO BONANZA LEAGEs

Harry Goliath, formerly mill super
in~tendent at the Nevada Goldheld Reduc-
ton Works, has organized the Rawhide
Happy Hooligan Mining & Leasing COM
pany. which company has bought the
two leases running to 1911 adjoining the
Truitt and Miller ground and that re-
served by the Coalition Mines claim,
for it's own main shaft and workings.
The two leases secured are already
classed among the of the camp.
Shipping ore is exposed right on the
surface and when the crosscut on the
5O-foot level reaches the vein something
sensational may be looked for. The
Happy Hooligan claim has been consid-
cred the richest one in the district ever
since Rawhide took its place on the
map. Messrs. Goliath and Flynn have
utilized their well known. keen per-
ception and good judgment in securing
his ground. and their names and eff
forts Jointly attached to any mining
enterprise spells success.
A heavy power gasoline hoist will be
ordered Immediately and full equipment
for sinking to good depth. The unusual
long time secured with these leases
gives the ompany every opportunity
that could be desired to make an enor-
nous production. and under the manage
ment of these thoroughly competent
mining men there seems little doubt as
to results.

SENATOR PYNE A BIG
BOOSTER FOE RAWHIDE

Senator George d. Pyne of the law
firm of Pyne & Douglas returned from
a weeks visit to Rawhide yesterday,
and is so enthusiastic over the showing
of the new camp that he will open a
branch Office for the firm and go up
next week to take personal charge of
1T. He say he never saw such a Won
derful surface showing in his life, and
as he was raised on the Comstock and
has investigated all the new camps as
they were discovered, his opinion is a
good boost for Rawhide.
Il saw ore that was an exact dupli-
cate of the old Comstock ore in appear
ance." said Mr.. Pyne to a News repre-
sentative, and though the assay values
show a much smaller proportion of
silver than the Comstock ores, it is prob
ably on account of the shallow depth
from which 1t was taken. In the Kearns
No. l lease they have crosscut the ledge
20 feet each way from the bottom Of
the 125-foot shaft and the full 40 feet
averages better than $50 to the ton, and
yesterday they ran into ore that goes
efVVs Ci Nit 49,
is down so feet. On the hanging wall
there is a two-foot streak that rum
between $4,000 and $4,000 to the ton,
while the balance of the ledge, which
is IA feet wide at this point, runs FULLY
5000 to the ton. n. II. Truett has ship
ping ore at a depth of so feet on one OF
his leases, and right on the surface
in another. 1 cite these cases
merely as examples, as they are among
the best known properties, but there are
dozens of Others that have equally won
derful showings, and the values are not
confined to a small area either. as they
are lust as much in evidence four miles
west of the town.
TT is good enough for me-" conclud-
ed Senator Pyne. =" and I am going to
pack up and locate there just as soon
as 1 can get away"
