Some Happy Suggestions
Scr lbri$tflp$ Giving.

With all the busy Christmas rush
ahat precedes the Christmas holidays,
ve are apt to lose sight of the real
Christmas spirit that should give US
oome happy thoughts and opportunity
for doing some happy things.
1t is we'll. once in a while. to think
beyond the usual Christmas exchange
sf presents with our relatives and bus
mess friends.
1t is the season of the year to think
ef others-and there are SO many who
have SO few to think of them.
Properly spent little money will
10 80 much good and bring so much
happiness at this season of the year
that 1t is a pity some people do not
give the subject greater consideration.
So The Record has asked for sug-
gestions Of how a small sum OF money
could be spent to bring the most
Christmas cheer.
The replies are capital. They come
from the hearts OF good people who
know where good can be done. We
doubt not that some of the good peo-
pie are doing the very things they say
could be done with the $25 described.
twenty-five dollars Is not SO much
10 many people yet it will bring SO
much JOY II wisely placed with other
people.
A hundred ladies in Canon City
spend $25 for spring hat that may be
spoiled by a single April shower. A
Hundred families in Canon will each
spend $25 on their own children for
toys alone. A hundred men in Canon
each spend $25 a month for their
cigars or other luxuries.
80 there are at least a hundred men
and women in Canon who could add
Qz6 to their Christmas budget for
semi-charitable gifts and not feel it
for a minute-or rather they would
feel the joy Of it for days and months
and what a happy town such whole
sale Christmas giving would make.
Tor weeks after Christmas!

mess associate, I othe servant, 10 not

for favors received or expected or for
services rendered or hoped for. Such
giving does not bring the real Joy of
aaying. 1t is too often done even grud-
h8lys asl
The man who gets tho most out of
CAristmaS giving is he who gives
where NO favors are expected in re-
tnrn; where people in need can be
helped: where HIVES can be Frightened
end encouraged. - -. -
As a matter of fact a lot of Canon
Rsople do . great deal of this sort of
Christmas giving and it's to help the
0eod work along just 9. little bit by
suggestion that The Record brings
t4ese letters of suggestions to our
pasasaaerss. passae -. &. ....
=, We trust they may be Of benefit to
many-both to those who are able to
enjoy the pleasure of unselfsh giving
and to those who may be made hap
Rter BY the Gifts Of others.

One way in which should spend

to place IS in the hands Of the moth

They are unfortunate, though no fault

they can not enter into the Christmas

Another way III which should

half of a man serving a fifteen year

MANY MINING CAMPS
TRIBUTARY TO WINNEMUCCA


Among the visitors to Goldfeld dur
ing the convention is j. C. Sewer, a
mining engineer of W~innemucca, who
reports that town as prospecting as a
result of the intense mining activities
in Humboldt county.
Among the camps tributary to Winnie
mucca are Chafey, National, Washaki
and Gold Circle, all of which are max
ing rapid strides in production and de-
velopments. The great Seven Troughs
district is sufficiently near Winnemucca
for that town to enjoy a large portion
of its trade.
In the immediate vicinity of the
town are several properties that possess
a splendid showing, particularly the f.
C. Robbins group on Winnemucca noun
tain, recently taken over by the North
western Mining company, in which Mr..
Robins is the heaviest shareholder. This
property is being developed by ~leasers.
The Intermountain mine, in the same
iocahty, VIII shortly be reopened by
General Manager Adamson, who is also
engaged in developing a valuable elm
nabar strike he recently made near
Mill City.
AS soon as the Western Pacific is com
pleted there will be great mining activ-
tiles along its route, where large de-
posits of high grade milling ore are
known to exist.

of grit. The company is incorporated
with a capital stock of $3.50 0 divided

of it which does not break to an aver
age in excess of $25 per ton. Ninety
feet in from the station sill at this
level a winze has been sunk 35 feet and
a raise extended 80 feet. In both winze
and upraise is exposed the same rich

level. and which was followed to sur

a depth of 100 feet. In other words,

posits of milling rock obtaining within
the confines of the estate of the Raw
hide Coalition Mines company, of which
the Miller lease is a valuable unit.
Has Large Tonnage
There is a large and constantly in
ereasing tonnage of milling and ship
ping grade ores exposed in the Miller
le~asehold, and from now on it is the
intention to send as much of the mill
rock to stamp as the local plants can
handle. 1t goes without saying, of
course, that there will be no let up in
forwarding shipping grade to smelter.
The last mentioned has an average
value of about 1925 the ton. The lease
has been a shipper almost from the
hour when Arthur Miller, veteran
Colorado miner, first drove pick into its
auriferous surface. 1t has ever added
to the worth of Rawhide as a district,
and to the Coalition as a company.
Other Mills Planned
A. A. Codd and associates expect to
have their 10-stamp mill in operation
before the close of October. Already
the graders are on the job at the mill
| site at Rawhide Junction, the western
terminus of the Rawhide Western rail
way. Not alone that, but the machin-
ery has been ordered, and contract
awarded for the placing of the same
and the erecting of a building for its
| housing. Grist for this mill is to be
forwarded from the estate of the Raw
hide Mining company, in which Mr..
| Codd is a large stakeholder, and from
the st. Ives lease IN the estate of the
Rawhide Queen, Mr.. Codd also being
heavily interested in that lease holding.
| On the acreage of the Rawhide Mining
company Lessee Morrissey is develop
ing a well defined ledge, IA feet wide
and averaging $25 gold the ton. At
the ST. Ives lease the management re-
Gently picked up the high grade ore
shoot which pinched out a few feet be-
low the surface. At a depth of 10 feet
he shoot is now showing six inches of
ore which assays as high as $1,000 the
.or. Several sacks of that grade are
piled on dump, or rather in company
s%torehouse. The rich section is con-
tanned in 2 feet of fair grade mill rock.
Exposed in the face of the cuts at the
80 and 200-foot levels is milling ore
having an average value of $25 per ton.
The Sweet Plant
Birmingham, Ala, capital is repre-
scented in camp in the person of B. w.
Sweet, of that city, who is making an
estimate of the districts tonnage pos
sibilities, and who states that he will
erect a mill. 1t is his intention to estab-
lish the plant on Reduction Flat, south
of the TOWNSHIP, and to make a mini
mum rate of So per ton OF low grade
ores, with a graduated scale for ores CT
higher grade. The initial capacity of
the plant will be Actions.
