Hornsiiver, August There is prac-
tically nothing new to report from this
camp this week-that is, nothing start
ling. The same continuous work pro-
ceeds and the same confidence possesses
those who are working. The finds that
have been made around Gold Mountain
and in other adjacent sections are re-
garded with satisfaction here, as the
citizens figure that they cannot but
have a very beneficial effect on condi-
tions here; and they await with inter
est the further developments in these
sections, feeling confident that they will
obtain very material benefits when re-
suits start to come in.
Considerable interest has been
aroused in the Ingram strike on Lime
Point No. 5, where three and a half feet
of $141 ore was uncovered. While this
ground has attracted attention before,

CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY
IN THE NINA SECTION

r. L. Toplitz, who returned several
days ago from Nina, where he in
speeted mining properties, tells The
News that there is considerable activ-
ity in that portion of the county, espe-
cially in the mountain range to the
eastward from the railroad town.
Several men have been put to work
developing the Copper Glance group,
following the two veins which were cut
in the 200-foot tunnel. A shaft has
been sunk seventy feet with a four
foot vein showing the entire distance.
Eight men have been put to work on
the Giroux property. The company
plans to sink a shaft to a depth OF
1000 feet.

is reported that an the lowest oualitv
OF ore tested the saving has been 90
per cent, while on the higher grade, now
being milled, the saving is running
close to 80 per cent. The ore now being
treated is up practically to the mill
tests.
Larger Output
Jack Logland has let a contract for
the leveling and enlarging of the drift
tunnel on his National Bank lease. DIR.
ing the week he has been sacking about
ten sacks of high grade ore per day, be-

the drift has opened a streak of quartz
on the footwall that shows blotches Ct

California Bullfrog
The west tunnel on the California
Bullfrog is in 500 feet and according to
survey will reach the ledge in about 10
feet. The face of the tunnel shows
stringers of manganese quartz.
Sixty-Six Lease
Connection has been made between
the tunnel and the Wine at the Sixty
Six lease, and lateral work will now be
taken up to extract the ore from both
the Sixty-Six and the Mevicker &
Stewart leases.
The work of taking the sacked ore
down the hill has been commenced, pre-
paratory to shipment, which will be
made within a few days.

Adopt Tonopah Scale
The Tonopah wage scale which YVES
printed in the eHrald last week. was
adopted by the members of Bonanza
Miners union at a vote taken Thurs
day and Friday of last week. Financial
Secretary j. J. Kelly refuses to state
just how the vote stood. saving that
the public should be satisfied to know
that the new scale was adopted. The
scale means 9 reduction of 30 cents a
day. The Shoshone company, which

the transportation charges about 81 a

run at least so and perhaps better, and
he is of the opinion that he can make
good money by shipping this character
of material.

DRIVING A TUNNEL

A tunnel is being driven on Boulder

is Familiarity known as the Elder lease
by the Fairview Eagles Leasing and
Development company. The leaseholf
is practically all owned in Goldfeld by
the office staff of the Goldfeld Consol-
dated Mines company. Two profitable
SHIPMENTS have already been made by
the company. The tunnel showing is
especially fine and the indications are
that the property will soon resume
shipments.

BESSEMER COPPER
MADE IN NEVADA


ing doubt of the great possibilities of
this section should lay off for a day and
take a trip through the district and if
he don't come back the biggest boomer
in the state it will be because he is 4
confirmed pessimist, says the Ely Min
ing Record.
At the smelter he will find the entire
plant in full blast, where for the first
time in the history of Nevada, Bessemer
copper, 500 fine, is being manufactured.
He will find the first unit of what will
eventually be the worlds greatest con
centrating plant in operation, and will
be told that two other units of like ca
paeity will soon go into commission. In
addition to this he will be told on the
quiet, but not for publication, that
orders will soon be issued for the cree
ton of five more units. Five o. six
hundred men are now employed at the
smelter, which will be increased to
more than a thousand within a year.
Then let him return to Ely and take
a trip to the mines over the new rail
road, constructed within the past year,
at an expense of probably a half mil
lion dollars, and in operation to the
Veteran shaft of the Cumberland Ely
company.
At the first stop, Lane City, which is
.Jac+;naI NJ n n distant lafa % ho.n,na
the residence seat for hundreds of
miners, he will be told that some of the
mines closed down by the panic, have
resumed operation, and that Others will
follow in the future.
At the Star Pointer he will find one
of the largest steel gallows frames in
the world, and buildings erected to ac-
commodate several hundred men, AM
although the mines are not operating at
the present time, the property stands
ready to output thousands of tons daily,
as soon as the plant is ready to receive
it.
At Copper Flat two hundred men are
employed mostly around steam shovels
and churn drills, In removing the over
burden from a mountain of sulphide
ore. One shovel, working only a por-
ton of its time, is supplying from five
to seven hundred tons of ore daily,
which is treated at the plant, but this
is only an earnest of what can be done
when the plant is completed and there
is a demand for ore running into the
thousands of tons daily. There is prac-
tically no limit to the capacity of Cop
per Flat. Thousands of tons per day
can be taken for years to come and
then only a small start will have been
made toward opening up this immense
deposit of sulphide ore.
At Kimberly the 500-ton eoncentrat-
ing plant of the Giroux company is
completed and ready for business, while
the 250-ton smelter is receiving its fin
ishing touches and will 500 be ready
to blow in. The camp gives promise of
soon becoming enc OF the liveliest in
the state. a ~t
At the Veteran, the present terminus
of the railroad, about 225 men are IN
ployed. The main working shaft,
through which the ores are brought to
the surface, is now operated by cleo
trieity cabled from the power plant at
McGill, more than 20 miles distant. The
mine is now producing about 500 tons
of ore daily, which will be increased as
each new unit of the concentration goes
into commission.

THE SMALLPOX SITUATION.
Three New Gases Have Developed Dur
ing the Week.

No developments of an alarming nature
have appeared this week to mar the, ia.
vorable progress of the local smallpox
situation Three new cases have been
reported but one of them was in fam
lily already under quarantine and the 9th
er two were promptly isolated. Francis
Deyo, who lives on Elliot street, came
down with the disease Sunday and was
taken at once to the isolation building.
Tuesday Peter Vigneau, who has been
caring for his wife during her illness with
the disease, was himself taken ill with a
well-defned case. Harry Knight, son of
S. w. Knight, was taken i'll yesterday.
He was taken to the detention house
also. At present there are six houses
under quarantine and five of them will
have the restrictions removed before the
first of next week without doubt, leaving
the Vigneau shome the only one with,
card on it. There are six cases at the de-
tention building.
That the epidemic is practically sup
pressed the developments of the week
seem to prove. People in the surrounding
towns have come to realize that a visit
to Brattleboro for the purpose of doing
business is attended by no danger, and
local merchants report an encouraging
Christmas trade the past week. In spite
of the encouraging outlook no public
gatherings will be allowed by the health
authorities until after New Years. The
officers wisely believe that it is better to
keep the ban on two weeks too long than
to lift it day too soon.

LoRING FARNUM co. SUED.
Papers Served Last Evening in 10000
Damage Suit Against Firm.

Papers were served last evening by
Deputy Sheriff Myron p. Davis in a
$4,000 damage suit brought against
the Loring n. Farnum company by Mrs.
Emma +. Cutler, administrative of the
estate of Frank Eugene Cutler. on ac-
count of the death of her husband, who
was killed in an accident at the Con-
necticut river dam early on the morn
ing of Oct. II. The suit is brought
through Robert G. Bacon and is return
able at the April term of Windham
county court. The plaintiff AYERS in
her declaration that her husband was
employed in operating one of the en-
gines used to haul cars of concrete
along the top of the dam and that

proper condition the engine ran off the
track. carrying Mr.. Cutler down with
it and iniuring him to such an extent
that he died in few hours. The plain
tiff claims that il vas the duty of the

the track was insufficient. improper
and out of repair, was provided with
unsuitable rails, which were impr0p-
erly aligned. that the outer rails on the
curves were not properly raised and

The Ludlow Tribune tells the exact
truth when it says: "The Tribune holds
itself ready to help along any good cause
that it has lived up to that sort of thing.
But neither it nor any other newspaper
should be asked to devote its space to the
free advertising of occasions, which, are
deliberately arranged for the laudable
purpose of making money. As a matter
Of news, the mere statement of fact could
not be objected to by, the publisher Of
any local paper; but the emphasizing of
attractions and the naming Of admission
prices come legitimately within the scope
of advertising" Generally people who
ask newspapers to do this sort of free ad-
vertising do so through ignorance. They
do not know where the dividing line be-
tween news and advertising runs. It is
the duty of the publisher to explain the
matter in good-natured way. If he does
this most people will understand the stu
alton and gladly pay for the advertising
they desire.

Mr.. Martin of Brookline has accumu-
lated considerable information regarding
the telephone companies of the state, but
his special committee has not yet made a
report. His original proposition was that
the committee should report within TWEEN
ty days, but that period has long been
passed The committee has no funds for
carrying on its investigations so its work
is greatly hampered.
The two Howes have been two Of the
most valuable members of the house.
Howe of St. Johnsbury has been intluen-
tial in committee and on the floor, while
Howe of Bennington has been a sound and
careful legislator. has frequently repre-
sented the committee on game and fish
cries with skill and ability, and has been,
the most efficient when called to
the chair of any of the members invited
to occupy that position.-St. Albans Mes

DIR. y. 4. LYNCH HOME
Trip OF -Four Months Included visits
10 Is States.

DR.. Edward Lynch and Mr. William
leys and family reached Bratileboro
Monday afternoon after a 10000 mile trip
through ~ different, states, which occa'
pied the better part Of four months. The
lrip was made almost entiruly by automo.
bile one way, the machine being q 1
horsepower Knox.
The party, composed Of DR.. Lynch,
Mrs, Leys, John A, Leys. Clifford leys,
Miss Marion Leys, and the chauffeur,
Charles Cnshman of Springfield, Mas,
leit Braitleboro August N. Tue trip
was made by easy stages, the party cover.
route included the principal cities and
towns along the way. New York, Buffalo
and Chicago were visited besides several
by'poinis along the way From Chicago
the party passed through the prairie
states, one ot the most interesting states
travcrsed being Nebraska. This was rem
dercd doubly Interesting because Of the
fac, that the party passed through short
ly before the time set for the presidential
election.
From there the trip was continued
across the continent, but few mshaps be-
ing met with Nearly all Of the trouble
experienced with the machine was in the
SHAPE of tire trouble. Only three times
did the party have the machine shipped
by train, and their only reason for this
was because they did not wish 10 cross
the deserts and alkali wastes OF some Of
the western states.
At San Francisco the party stayed three
weeks and they also stopped two weeks
at Colorado Springs. From Frisco they
iourneyed TO Seattle, Wash, by boat and
from there to Nome, Alaska, where they
stayed three weeks. DIR. Lynch speaks Of
Seattle as one OF the finest cities which
he was ever in. and says that at the pres
ent time II has population OF about
10000. it having almost doubled within
he past five years.
Returning TO San Francisco the party
spent some time in touring the California
valleys and at Los Angeles the automo-
bile was shipped home, the members of
he party making the return journey by
all. On their way home they stopped
or short time at the Grand Canyon Of
Arizona, and made the rest of the trip
asst by easy stages. They left Chicago
Thursday OF last week, reaching Brattle-
'oro Monday afternoon. DIR. Lynch's
lealth was much improved at the end Of
he journey and he has gained 40 pounds
ince leaving Brattleboro.

David ]. Barrett.

David J. Barrett, 80, died Sunday af-
ternoon at his home in Guilford. The
cause of his death was tuberculosis,
from which he had suffered for over a
year, and the last 10 weeks of his life
he was confined to his bed. He was
the son of John and Emma (Harris)
Barrett. He was born in West Brattle
boro, May 81, 1869, and had lived there
the greater part of his life until four
years ago, when he moved to Guilford.
His occupation was farming and team
ing. He married Miss Lena Bradford
May IS, 1889. Besides his wife he
leaves two children, Ida and Raymond,
and one half brother, William E.
Akley, who lives in West Guilford.
The funeral was held at the home
Wednesday morning at 10 o 'clock, and
burial was in the West Brattleboro
cemetery. Rev. E. @. S. Osgood, pas
tor of the Unitarian church, officiated.
Mrs. Mary Bullock, Mrs. Myrtle Wells
and Archie Miner sang three selections
and H. T. Waite, c. P. Thompson,
Worthy Worden and Edwin Legate
were bearers. The funeral was largely
attended and many floral offerings were
in evidence expressing sympathy to
the bereaved family.
