Beatty, and there will be no cessation
of work until the plant is running on

neer l.. l.. Smith believes he will be
ready for the lumber at the end of ten
days at which time three carloads are
expected from Los Angeles. One ear
load of machinery should arrive the
same day. Two carloads have been
shipped from Denver.
The plant at the start will have n
daily capacity of 80 tons. Additional
batteries will be installed when It is
apparent that ten stamps are unable to
handle the ore offered. Such seems to
be the case now, and the momen the

Montgomery shoshone
The big triple-eompartment shaft at
the Montgomery Shoshone Consolidated
is nearing the 7oo-foot point, 695 feet of
sinking having been accomplished,
says the Rhyolite Herald. Work with
two shifts of miners is in progress, and
within a few days the work of cutting
a station on the 700 will be started. just
as soon as possible, ~laterals will be run

hoped that the ~sulphide zone will be de-
veloped at this level, which is 200 feet
below water.
The big mill is keeping up its usual
gait, two shifts working. Another ear
load of rich concentrates has been
shipped to Salt Lake City.
Lateral work is being continued on
the lower levels.
Diamond Queen
To a reporter of the Miner who
visited the Diamond Queen on Wednes-
day of this week that new candidate
for neurological honors looked mighty
good.
1t looked good to see between 400
and 500 sacks of ore piled up at the
original Diamond Queen lease of Biddle-
& Culver, this being the aceumula-
ton since the last reportorial visit two
weeks ago.
1t looked good to see the assembling
of ore at other points, notably at the
new strike of Mike Bertolo and asso-
%ciates, on the Atlantis No. /, north of
the original discovery.
1t looked good to see the general ac-
tivity over the hills and the rustling of
prospective ~millionaires in search of
blocks of ground upon which to get
leases.
1t looked good to see the building
made by the new town of
Fuorine, which is located within a
stones throw of the Biddleeome &
Culver workings.

port. As depth is gained a constant inn
provement is reported.
Capitol Camp
News has beer received of a rich
strike at the Capitol Camp, Eldorado
Canyon. When this property was being
extensively operated some IL years ago
several pockets of high grade ore were
found on what was then called the
Sunny South claim. However, the real
vein was never uncovered and it has
remained for the new management to
find the hidden source.
As a result of surface trenching the
true vein appears to have been located
and a quantity of the orr. g sacks, has
been taken out and n rush order sent
liz for more sacks. While net as rich
as some former shipments, it is none
the less of the bonanza order. Tests
have given an average Of $500 to the
ton, while one shipment of eight tons,
made years ago, is known to havs re-
turned $1,000.
The ore is described as being very
soft in character and in addition to
showing free gold also carries good lead
values.
Nearing Eight Hundred
Chas. Gracey, manager of the Whar-
ton properties at Eldorado Canyon, was
in town yesterday. Contractors are at
work in the Techatticup sinking the
main shaft to the s00-foot level. Ow-
ing to the extreme hardness of the rock,
slow progress is being made and it will
probably require several months to
complete the work. As the flow fol-
lows the vein, and the shaft is in the
foot wall, practically nc trouble is ex-
pcrienced from water. The openings
below water level have been ingenious
ly cemented up by Mr.. Gracey.

SEARCHLIGHT PROPERTIES s.
BLOCKING OUT ORE BODIES

On the 500-foot level of the Fraction,
where a large amount of important ex
ploration has been done. a long cross
cut has been run north from the shaft.
says the Bulletin. When in 81 feet the
Fraction lead was picked up and also
the fault. Here a drift has been "a
to the west, which is now in a hundred
feet or more, and shows in the face
three feet Of ore which, as extracted, is
being carefully saved. As the ground
above is virgin to within % feet of the
surface-above this point the ore has
been stopped put to the surface and
milled-Mr. Cotton estimates that the
work so far done has exposed fully
5000 tons of new ore.
Returns From Shipment
Clayton & Crittenden, leasing on the
New Years Gift, have received re-
turns from the ear of ore recently
shipped to the Needles smelter. The
lot contained 22ai tons and the net re-
turns after deducting all transportation
and treatment charges amounted to
1891 %, or an average of over $43 to
the ton.
A second consignment of 25 tons will
be ready to forward within the next
few days. In speaking of the last ship
ment the leasers stated that they are
certain that they ear raise the average
of future shipments at least SIS a ton.
Greater familiarity with the ore, to-
gether with a more careful sorting, will
insure a higher grade.
This high grade ore is coming from
the 15O-foot level, both east and west
of the shaft.
Crescent Properties
This week the Double Standard has
been opening up its ground in several
new places, all of which are looking
fine. To date 1875 sacks of high grade
ore have been prepared for shipment,
and packers are now bringing the stuff
down the mountain to the wagon road.
Of the ~leasers, Davis and Russell are
getting the best results. They are
down 40 feet and this week have beer
sacking ore from a seven-inch streak
that assays from 5000 to $473 to the
ton. A specimen of the ore is on ex-
hibition at the Bulletin office.
Chas. Jones has also taken a lease
from the Double Standard and will go
to work at once.
The Kansas-N Nevada Mining company
has added another shift and a double
crew is now employed on the Shreeve-

CHUTE-McGOwAN LEASE
HAS PROMISING INDICATIONS

Elmer Chute, who is interested with
Coffee & MCGOWAN in a promising lease
at Hornsilver, is in town. He reports
the shaft as going down rapidly in a
ledge that shows excellent values.
Mr.. Chute believes that Hornsilver
will ultimately become a gold camp.
Partial proof of this is found III sam
pies which he brought in from the new
strike on the 200-foot level of the
Great Western. The ore body runs $40
in silver and an ounce and a half in
gold. Hitherto the values in this prop
erty have been overwhelmingly in sill
yer.

tors, miners, merchants and nearly all
l~classes of people. The mining investors
have not as yet got into the camp in
any great numbers. Most of those GO
ing to Diamond Queen are in quest of
leases, because this system looks like
ready money and in fact it has proven
to be very profitable.
Several new leases were secured this
week and more are on the tapis.
Tramp Shipment
The recent shipment from the Tramp
Consolidated, comprising % tons, re-
turned $50 a ton. Sacking continues,
and from the present outlook shipments
will be made at regular intervals. Sew

nounced it was the company's intention
to develop the ground through the main
shaft. A new hoist is being installed
for that purpose.
Mill Ore at Beatty
Leasers on the Original Bullfrog have
decided to store their ore from now on
and reduce it at Beatty on completion
of the custom mill. Freight and reduc-
ton charges are too heavy for the grade
of ore now mined, and a wait of a few
months means a vast saving. They are
daily breaking down a good quantity

Beatty Mt. Extension
Manager Bennett reports a steady in
crease in values in the shaft he is sink
ing on Beatty Mountain Extension. The
quartz is becoming harder and better
looking with each round of holes. Mill
ing ore should be opened up within 90
or 80 feet. A prominent mining man
looked over the property this week and
expressed satisfaction at the showing.
Silver Cliff Lease
Frank Whitaker received information
this week that the lease on the Silver
Cliff in which he is interested with
Messrs. Archibald and Pfiffer is pan
ming out beyond the expectations of the
workers. The vein is rapidly widening
and is producing 1925 ore. Fifty sacks
were sent out Thursday to the lease,
and a shipment should not be far dis
tant.

SERIOUS ASSAULT
Hungarian Rumpus in Wcstvillc
 Proves Bad Anair.t

Trouble has broken out among some of the Hungarians employed at Earn hams farm in Westville. Complaint was made last night 10 the local police of fight which took place on the farm several days ago and which now looks as if 1t might have serious results. One of the employees of the farm was dis charged few days ago and on that day he got into a quarrel with a fell low countryman in which he gave him q thorough beating. Since the encoun- ter the injuries which the beaten man sustained have developed into such se- rious one that he Is compelled to go to ton Is said tu be quite critical It Is alleged that brass knuckles were re- sponsible for the serious character of the injuries.
 The first the police learned of the trouble was last night when the wife of the injured man and two compan- ions came into headquarters and told of the case and the serious condition of the injured man, The man who did the damage however left the farm that day and has not been seen since. It is thought he Is in this city and the police have been asked to look for him. IA warrant may be secured for his ar rest. The police did not secure the names of any of the parties in the case but 1t will probably be placed before the city attorney today

BERTILLON SYSTEM
Entire Apparatus Now at Head quarters and Commis-

WILL ASK APPROPRIATION
Estimates to Be Submitted Next Month to Contain Request
 for Installation.

The complete apparatus for the in stallation of the Bertillon system has arrived at police headquarters and was inspected yesterday afternoon by several members of the police com mission, including the committee which Is looking into the matter for the board which consists of Commis- sioners Fertman and Dean. The pho tographic apparatus has also been re- ceived so that the entire system was ready to be shown to the commission- CTS and operated for their benefit. The committee will report In a short time to the board, and 1t is practical ly decided that the cost of the install lation of the system will be included in the estimates which the police de- partment will submit next month to the board of finance
 By the Bertillon system the closest method of identifying criminals known will be added to the abilities of the New Haven force. It is In use in most of the cities of the country and many of them much smaller than New Haven. It Is in use in several cities of the state now and is giving excellent results.

FIFTY GET LICENSES
Vendors Apply So Quickly Chief Runs
 Out of Badges.

So strenuous was the demand of the vendors and peddlers of the city for licenses according to the new law which was passed couple of weeks ago that Chief Cowes who had announced yes terday as the first day of issuance of them was Mable to keep up with the demand, and he was forced to suspend late in the afternoon until new sup ply of badges which are being given with licenses can be secured He start ed business yesterday morning with fifty badges and these were all gone before the afternoon had passed away As the chief did not wish to issue any licenses without the badges he an. nounced that there would be no more licenses until more badges arrived which he thinks will be this afternoon. Early yesterday morning there was a large line of peddlers .ln waiting and the call for licenses was brisk. num- Der of the parties argued over the legal point of the licensing and disputed the right to require licenses, but most of them had their money ready and took the licenses just the same,
