'DRYWASH" WILSON'S
RICH COMBINATION LEASE

Thomas Wilson. Of "Drywash" fame.
isn't being stumped by such a trivial
matter as the want of a mill to get
him the bullion, says the Round Mountain
Nugget.
Mr.. Wilson has quartz lease on the
Combination ground, a short distance
above the territory which is now being
washed by hydraulic methods. There has
been some remarkably rich ore taken out
OF this lease. The ledge was found as
on outcrop on the surface. 1t runs In
any easterly and westerly direction and
stoping out the ore was commenced with
almost the first days operations. Well
defined walls go down almost perpendicu-
larly and careful examination will reveal
small particles of gold still adhering TO
their surface.
AS in other Round Mountain mines taIc
of about the consistency OF a wax candle
y found as a seam about three inches
wide and in this are found the rich
values. The result of paintings are vari-
ously estimated at from $500 to $500.
With the exception of the Sunnyside and
Fairview mi1es, which have their own
mills. there Is practically no other prop
erty in Round Mountain which has ex-
tracted any more ore than II was neces-
sary TO remove In the ordinary course of
running levels. crosscuts, etc. To stoDe
without any means of milling meant the
additional expense of rehandling.
But Tom Wilson was not to be denied
After mucking out, Tom screened his ore.
The coarse rock is on the dump awaitin,,
such time as the mill will be ready to
reduce it. The fine dirt was put through
the dry washers and In this way Will

than pay the running expenses of the
lease. That big dump of coarse milling

With the custom mill almost ready to
begin the reduction of ore. it will be but
few weeks at most before the bullion
is on the way TO the mint.

ORE LINE NEARLY
READY FOR BUSINESS

In order to have everything in readi-
ness on the ore line for the handling
of the large tonnage from the mines at
the earliest possible time. the Nevada
Northern Is sending large construction
train up the line to put the road In first
class condition, says the Ely Expositor
The first piece of work will be the
timbering of the approaches to the sec
ond tunnel above Lane City, which will
be solidiy timbered both about the en-
frances and the approaches. This tunnel
is run through rock that is somewhat
dangerous in its tendency to split off
large sections of rock. making it peri
lous at times to-run trains. When COM
pleted the tunnel will be proof from such
accidents.
The work train will be stationed at Lane
City during the course of this work.
Afterwards it Will probably be sent fur
Their up the line to Copper Flat to work
on the road about the mines. At pres
ent the snow is too deep to allow Of
operations looking toward finishing the
work at that point. but as soon as the
snow is melted and it becomes possible to

LEAD MARKET
IS REVIEWED
Price of Metal in America
Should Soon Advance
Materially.
SURPLUS STOCKS LOCATED
AMERICAN COMPANY HAS TWO
MONTHS SUPPLY ON HAND.

Much that has been said regarding the
copper market and general industrial con-
ditions pertains as well to the lead mar
ket. There are, however, other factors
that influence the lead market The Unit
ed States is not large exporter of lead.
as it is of copper. In fact, we imported
81 600 tons in 1906 and exported only 5000
tons. The outside world pretty well sup
plies its own demands so that the Euro
pean buying has not and will not sup
port the lead market to any great extent,
says Mining Science of Denver. The lead
market today stands just about as it
did in 1885 as regards price. 1t does not,
however, seem likely that these low prices
will long maintain, for the same reasons
expounded in discussing copper. As soon
as the east gets over its fit of the blues
a large amount of lead will be required
on short order. The surplus on hand Will
be quickly consumed and demand made
on the mines for immediate shipments.
After a period of passivity, accompanied
with a glutted market, the recovery of
prices is apt to be very sudden; just as
when a slack hawser is frightened, by the
tug getting under way, it comes up with
Jerk
No extraordinary discoveries of lead
have been made in the last year, while.
on the other hand, many new uses for
lead have gained much Roadway. The
use of lead pipe to protect the insulation
of electric conductors and the increased
use of storage batteries containing lead
cells are among the new uses which ere
ate constantly increasing demand. The
United States has been using about per
cent more lead each year than the year
before, and, as remarked about copper.
the miner will have to be rewarded or
he will leave the metal in the ground.
We learn that the American Smelling
& Refining company has between 5000
and 10000 tons of lead on hand. This is
the only large stock of lead in the coun-
try and is less than two months supply
for, the country. 1t is, however, a little
more lead than is generally carried. An
ordinary revival of business would soon
take up all the slack and advance prices
The foreign market is in much the same
condition as the American market. 1t
is, however, separated from the American
market by the tariff wall and so moves
independently of the American market
There is an accumulation of lead cOncen-
trates at Port Pirie, Australia (from the
Broken Hill mines) amounting to some
80, 900 tons. There is also an accumula-
ton of lead bullion in London, but We
have not the exact figures as to amount
The German market also appears to be
somewhat overstocked. The foreign mar
ket is slowly improving, but the upward
progress in prices has been interrupted
with some setbacks.

Water in Abundance.
Fortunately, there is the association
of water in abundance with the Phoe-
nix-like rise of this gold mining dis
trict. Springs bubble out of the noun
tain sides, forming streams of pure wa
ter that wend their way onward to their
destination. From every new point
Gold Circle mining district presents
manifest destiny-that destiny that will
unravel the story of great fortunes,
great wealth and a mighty. prosperous,
laughing, happy people who viii enjoy
the blessings of the districts forecast.
A water service with a distributing
point at an altitude of 800 feet above
the town of Midas is provided for, am

associates of Tuscorora is being estab-
lished, as is also a lusty newspaper to
recite the story and make the history of
the camp. The telephone line is within
seven miles of the camp and will, in
course of few days, be ready to afford
rapid communication with the outside
world.
Deals Closing All the Time.
Undertakings Of all sorts are under
way. Deals upon deals are being con-
summated daily.
During the past two days sales and
bonds involving $500 TO $4,000 have
been made and executed in favor OF the

The town of Midas is the scene of live
ly doings and OF busy mining men with
mortar and pestle In action to show the
sparkling wealth of gold; and prospac-
tors with gleeful strains and moving to

Whittier's Loneliness.

He was. essentially lonely man.
Romantic by temperament, susceptible
to feminine charms and exactly consti-
tuted for the happiness OF love and do
nestle life, he was doomed to austere
celibacy. Filled with curiosity for dis
tant places and having as contempora-
ries Irving, who spent over twenty
years of his life in Europe; Cooper, who,
besides his voyages. lived abroad seven
successive years; Bryant, who made
six excursions to the old world: Long
fellow, who knew Europe perhaps bet
ter than his native land. Whittier's
travels were bounded on the north by
the limits of New England. on the east
by the neighboring shore, on the south
by Washington and on the west by
Harrisburg Brought up Quaker. he
was cut off from the cheerful human
activities Of New England churches. the
most prominent feature of village so
cial life. The curse Of constant head
aches and chronic insomnia made him
almost a prisoner, or, as Barrett Wen
dell phrases it, he was generally trou-
bled by that sort of robust poor health
which frequently accompanies total alb
stinence.' But with all these discour-
agements, privations and enforced re-
nunciations, he seems to have preserv-
ed the temperament Of a beautiful
child. - Professor w. L. Phelps in

In the Berth Below.

1t is asserted by some naturalists
that the puma, the second largest Of
the big cats of South America, neither
feared man nor regarded human be-
ings as its prey, but on the contrary
sought their society. The following
anecdote from Animal Artisans" by
Mr.. c. ]. Cornish, long resident Of
British Guiana, supports the belief
that the puma seeks the society Of
man instead of attacking or fearing
him.
When making an expedition up one
Of the large rivers in a steam launch
our friend gave passage to an elder
ly Cornish miner who was anxious to
reach the gold fields. Not wishing to
intrude upon his hosts. he did not
sleep on board the launch, but always
swung his hammock between two trees
On shore. AS climbing into high
slung hammock is not easy, he usually
fastened it rather low, and his weight
probably brought it to within three
curve. One morning, being asked how
he had slept, he complained that "the
frogs had made such a noise under
meath his hammock that they had kept
him awake"
Some Indians of the crew who were
folding up the hammock laughed a
good deal when they heard this, and
being asked the reason. said, still
laughing, ooh, tiger sleep with old
man last night" They had found un-
der the hammock the marks of where
puma had lain. The noise which
had kept the occupier Of the hammock
awake was the purring Of the puma,
pleased at occupying the next berth"
below a man.
