who migrate across the continent in all
directions seeking that which gold cannot
buy. Nine-tenths of them are suffering

depended upon. Use it and the more
serious diseases may be avoided. For

GOLD CIRCLE MAX.

What is Doing in the Greatest Gold
Camp in the State of

From the Tuscagara News.
From a letter written to DR.. E
Dunscomb by c. D. Dorsey, the Gold
Circle recorder and manager of the
Gold Circle Mercantile company, we
extract the followin:
Leasers are running a tunnel on
the Queen claim to tan the ledge from
which the high grade wire gold came

The Dunscomb & Geahbeart ground

tinuation Of the ledge from which the
sensational values were obtained early
last fall. The property also joins the
Queen claim on the west. Through
prospecting and deep developing of
this ground will bedone in the early
spring.
Wyatt and Warren have bonded

pie, who iutend putting force of
men at work at once.
Menking Schein and Barker and
Mears have also bonded their proper
ties to J. w. Busch and associates of
Salt Lake, the consideration being
$67 900, and some of the material for
developing the claims is at the Col
conda depot now.
Leamy has some fine ore on

DATES OF THE DESERT.

Investigation by the Southern Pa
cific company have gone far enough
to show that the date palm can be
grown successfully in California soil
At the government experimental sta
tion near Mecca in the Colorado des-
ert, several acres have been set out
and the trees are thriving. They have
not reached the full bearing stage,
but several of the trees have produced
as high as twenty pounds each al
ready. Mr.. Fee, passenger traffic
manager Of the Southern Pacific, has
received samples of both fresh and dry
dates produced at these farms and
pronounces them of excellent quality.
The successful growing of the date
tree of the desert in California, is al.
most as great a triumph as the sue
cessful introduction Of the Smvrna
fig. Some packing and shipping of
both fresh and dry dates may be done
this year. Ultimately, it is claimed,
the date will form an important fac
tor in California s fruit shipping prod
uct. So confident of commercial sue
cess are those who have been watch
ing that date experiments that con-
siderable planting has been done by
fruit growers.
The region selected for the expert
ment is the Colorado valley, west Of
Salton and north of the Imperial val
ley. There is no reason, experts say,
why it should not be covered with
thriving date plantations that will
produce the larger part of the fruit
all of which is now imported.

AsSAssINs SEEK THE
LIFE OF TOM RAMSEY
Well Known Renoite Returns Fire Of
Assasins and Wounds
One

RENO, January 2l.-Tom Ramsey,
founder of the big mining camp now
bearing his name, and one of the best
known men in the state, had a mar
row escape from death last week at
Goldfield. Ramsey had Just return
ed from the southern country, and yes
terday confirmed the report that had
preceded him. He is a personal friend
of Nixon, Wingfield and others Of the
prominent mine owners Of Goldfeld.
and during the trying times of the past
few weeks has been aiding them in
protecting their property. 1t was
while standing guard near the Gold
field Consolidated one night last week
that would be assassin from ambush
fired two shot at Ramsey. Fear is a
word unknown in the vocabulary Of
the founder of Ramsey. BY the
flash of theassasin weapon he loca-
ted where the shots came from and
without cover turned and fired in that
direction. The next moment, two men
who were in hiding sprang from their
concealment and started to run. More
shots were sent after them, and one
OF the fugitives, it is believed, was
wounded by his intended victim. In
the darkness both men escaped and no
trace of them has been found.
