SHIPMENT FROM GARFIELD

The old Anterior mine of the Garfield
group between Nina and Hawthorne
has just shipped sixty-fve tons OF high
grade ore. The shipment consisted OF
1900 sacks. This is the report of Con
sulting Engineer j.. w. Chandler, VINO
has returned from a visit to the prop
erty. More is being sacked and other
shipments will follow.
This ore is taken from the new work
ings where recently that fault was
picked up. 1t is thought to be as rich
as in the eighties, when the mine was
worked by the Hampton Plains Explor-
alton company and was shut down on
account of the faults in the Anterior
and Great Western, which were two OF
the best mines in the Garfield group.

BATTLE MOUNTAIN PRODUCER

That another big gold producer will
shortly be heard of in the vicinity OF
Battle Mountain appears certain from
the wonderful showing that is being
found on the Independence property,
which is located in the Pittsburg dis
trict, about sixteen miles southeast OF
the town of Battle Mountain. M. T..
Dudley and II. C. Christensen, who have
had the property bonded for some time,
have succeeded in interesting some
prominent mining operators in the east
and an active campaign of development
and installation of a complete plant of
machinery and mill will be commenced
Immediately.

O. X. wescoatt, the mining engineer,
has returned from Dun Glen. Speaking
of the prospects of the camp, Mr.. Wes-
coatt said to the Silver State News:
al have been in the mining business
for more than 80 years, and l have
never seen as good a showing made N
so short a time as has been made at Dun
Glen. From all indications this is the
coming camp of Nevada.
"Times are very lively in the new
camp. r. NJ. Croeker and associates
have taken a lease on the Monroe
group. and after a few days work have
made a good showing. Mr.. McBee tf
Tiptop has just taken a lease on one o.
the Chafey properties. Other leasers
are at work getting out shipping ore,
and ii will not be a great while now un-
til the returns begin to come in"

sHEBA WILL RESUME

The Sheba, which has been closed
down for a year, is soon to be started
up again with a large force of men:
The Sheba is one of the oldest mines
of the state, being a contemporary CT
the Great Comstock, at Virginia City.
1t was discovered in 1863, and since
that time has produced more than five
million dollars in silver.
This great silver proposition is stu
ated in Star canyon, IA miles south OF
Mill City, and at present embraces A.

principally in silver, can be secured IN

FINE N

The cleanup from the Mamma Hills
mill, at Seven Troughs, after a thirteen
DAVIS run, is estimated at $4,000. Since
starting the mill has made an average
of about 1900 a day. These results
are so satisfactory that Manager John
Harnan has decided to build a twenty
fve-stamp mill at the mine, and when
this is done, the mill at Mazuma will
probably be devoted exclusively to Gus

RICH ORE TO sMELTER

Henry Keitske of the Highland Boy

of ore to the Salt Lake smelter upon
which the tidy little sum of $3,2s5 was
received, or an average of $217 per ton
The checking receipts show that the
ore contained but a trace OF gold, the

WASTING TIMBER T0 SAVE N.

The Railway Age calls attention to
what looks like a crude, unnecessary
waste of lumber.
In the recent construction of q shop
structure of modern dimensions, in-
tended for railway purposes, and built
entirely of concrete, 100000 feet of lum-
her was used for making the forms into
which the filing was poured. This
lumber, it is calculated, would have
sufferd as material for the erection of
a wooden building of equal dimensions;
but after the immediate purpose for
which 1t was employed was subserved
the lumber was unfit for further use
in construction.
The Age suggests that what is needed
is the development of standard details
for concrete buildings, so that perma-
nent forms of wood or metal can be
largely employed, thus doing away with
the wasteful consumption of expensive
material that is growing scarcer every
year. Not only would the adoption of
this plan contribute toward the work
of forest preservation, which is now
enlisting the interest of thoughtful peo-
pie, but it would tend In an important
degree to lower the cost of building in
concrete, and thus make possible a
wider resort to this durable n fire.

FORESTLESS CHINA AS
AN AWFUL EXAMPLE.

The widespread cutlery against the
wholesale and wanton destruction OF
our American forests lends especial
point to the remarks of a writer in
Harper's Weekly anent the forestless
condition of China, whose example
should be brought to the attention of
Congress as a warning. Nowhere in
the world is the forest cleaned off down
to the very soil as In China. When the
trees are gone the saplings, the shrubs
and ever the heritage are taken. Slen-
der poles are used to build houses; IN
considerable shrubs are turned into
charcoal.
In the province of S~hantung, Where
deforestation is practically complete,
fuel and fodder for cattle are literally
scratched from the hillsides by boys
who go out from villages with their
iron rakes In autumn to secure winter
supplies. Grazing animals. searching
every ledge and c~revice, crop the re-
maining grass donw to the very roots.
A dearth of wood Is not the only for
lorn result of forest devastation; q
dearth of water and the ruin of the
soil follow in it's train. On the waste
hills of eastern China the rains rush
off from the barren surfaces. flooding
the valleys, running the fields and de-
stroying towns and villages. No water
is retained at the higher levels, so that
none Is fed underground to the lower
soils or to the springs. As a result
even on the plains the water level is too
far beneath the surface to be used.
Forests can be wasted with ease, but
may not easily be restored" says the
writer; "the need of timely action Oil
the part of our Congress is Imperative"

rHE ERRAT1c MARNER,s COMPASS.

Nothing In the ~navigational equip
ment of q ship has been the subject
for more anxious scientific research or
received more jealous care than the
mariners compass. The popular no.
ton of the compass needle always
pointing north and south is-welL
more inaccurate than even popular no
lions usually are. Even under the
most favorable conditions there are
only certain places upon the surface
of the earth where the compass needle
does point north and south, and it Is
quite safe to say that such conditions
are never found on board of any ship.
But we must go further and say that
no more unfavorable position could be
found for a compass than on board OF
q modern steamship, which is a COM
plieated mass OF steel, all tending TO
draw the compass needle from its al
legiance to the magnetic pole of the
earth, warning influences which must
needs be counteracted by all sorts OF
devices which hedge round the instru-
ment by an invisible wall of conflict
ing currents of magnetism. And as If
this were not enough there are now
huge dynamos to be reckoned with,
producing electric currents for All
sorts of purposes on board. In the
midst of these mystic currents the
poor little compass needle, upon which
the mariner depends for his guide
across the trackless deep. hangs sus-
pended like shrinking saint sur
rounded by legions of devils.-Windsor

THE pENMANsHIp OF AUTHORS,

Among ~present-day noyellsts the
prize for good handwriting should be
awarded to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
His manuscripts are a perfect picture
of clear, precise e~alligraphy, as easy
to read as type. Another good PEN
man, according to London Tit-Bits, Is
Max Pemberton. and no n can sec
even as much as his signature with
out detecting the artist In every curve.
He is trying for the eyes, for he errs
ON the side of minuteness. One of the
most businesslike fists is that of
Frank T. Bullen. Bulien told the
present writer that the very act of
writing was a real Joy to him and
that he was never happier than when
covering page after page with his slop-
ing, school-masterlike characters, Hall
Game writes a very plain but not par
ticularly distinguished hand. Unlike
F. T. Builen, he declares the act Of
writing bores him, yet he never die
tates, He can, however, write any
where, even, like Mark Twain, In bed.
Stanley Weyman and j. M, Barrie are
both good penmen, but Coulson Kar-
nahan often causes brain-racking on
account of the smallness Of his writ
ing.
