Graphite is one of the forms under
which carbon occurs in nature. also
known under the name of plumbago,
black7lead and wad. 1t occurs not
u%nfrequently as a mineral production
and is found in great purity at Bor-
rowdale in Cumberland, and in large
quantities in Canada, Ceylon and Bo-
hernia.
Graphite may be heated to any ex-
tent In close vessels without change:
1t is exceedingly Interchangeable in air;
it has an iron-gray color, metallic
iustre, granular texture and is soft
and unctuous to the tonch.
1t is used chiefly in the manufac,
ture Of pencils, crucibles and portable
IN furnishing iron to pro-
tect 1t from rust, for giving a smooth
surface to casting mould, for coating
wax or other impressions of objects
designed to be el%ectrotyped, and for
counteracting friction between the
rubbing surfaces of wood or metal in
machinery.
The total value of the graphite
production in the United States in
1906 was $~34O,239, Fourteen opera
tors reported production. This coun-
try produces only about one-ifth of
the graphite Of the world, while it
consumes over 35 per cent of the
worlds production. 1t is worth in
the neighborhood Of so cents per
round.

Greatest Camp
in California

The greatest camp in California"
is the way Charles G. Bevis described
the camp of Hart, where he is now
located. There are five properties
now being worked and there is amout
sixty men on the pay rolls" said Mr..
Bevis yesterday. THE Tonopah scale
of wages has been adopted, this be-
ing the second camp in California to
adopt that scale.
The formation of the country is
exactly the same as Tonopah. there
being porphyry and rhyolite. The val
ues are free milling gold. Although
the mines have only attained a depth
of 200 feet it is the belief of the min
ing men operating in that vicinity
that the lodges will increase with
depth and the place will be one of the
greatest high grade camps in the
south. Most of the ore is being treat
ed at the mill at S%earchlight. which is
twenty-four miles distant. Some of
the properties are sacking their high
grade and will run it through the
Miller mill, which has just been com-
pleted and is now in operation.
There are immense bodies of low
grade ore in the camp that average
between SIS and $50 a ton. There
are also streaks of high grade that go
between SIS and $3.50 per ton.
The operators are seriously handi-
capped by the lack of water, as it has
to he piped from Manville, a distance
of nine miles from Hart.
The original di~scoverer of Hart
was James II. Hart, who at one time
resided in Tonopah and is known to
many of the Tonopah pioneers"
Mr.. Bevis will remain in Tonopah
until after the holiday, when he will
return to the southern camp, where
he is heavily interested.

Graphite i'm
Wall Canyon

A. j. Woodward of Tonopah, who
has two groups in Wall canyon, stu

Mountain, comprising respectively
six and three claims each, has struck
what he believes will turn out to be
a tremendous body of graphite.
Mr.. Woodward has done the assess
ment work on these two groups for
the past two years, a y the Round
Mountain Nugget, and 1t was while
doing it during the past month that
ne encountered in his sixty-foot tun-
mel, on the larger group, a stringer
OF graphite. This he at once follow
ed up and it has since developed into
a four-foot ledge.

The New Gold
Coins Arrive

r. T, Harris, cashier Of the Nevada
First National bank. yesterday receiv-
ed a number of the new coins of the
revised st. Gauden type. They bear
the motto I'm God We Trust" which
was left off the first assortment
struck off. On those Of the SIS de-
nomination, and $3.50 denomination
the lettering and designs insteal Of
being in relief is embedded. On the
tails side the words United States of
America" are at the top, over the
trausered eagle. To the left of the
eagle is "E Pluribus Unum." To the
right is the I'm God We Trust. At
n bottom is the denomination.
There is a difference between the $50
coins and the smaller ones in that the
In God We Trust" and "E PIuribus
Unum" are reversed from n side
to the other. The word liberty on the
larger coins appears on the head band
OF the Indian while on the smaller
coins it appears at the top over The
head.
There are very few of the coins In
circulation and it is believed that
they will be recalled before they get
into the line of trade.
