BEAVER MINES
MAKING GOOD
New Strikes and Active Opera
lions on Many Properties
Indicate a Boom.

Manager ]. NJ Reynolds of the Hecla
company's Beaver county mines came up
from camp yesterday morning after look
ing over things at the porperty and leav-
ing orders for the shipment of another
carload of fine ore. He states that room
mas been made underground for additions
TO the force of miners and that develop
ment will be correspondingly hurried. Up
70 the present time no ore has been mined
other than that which made in The regular
work OF extending drifts. but the property
is now In shape TO permit of taking out
a better tonnage
Without figuring at all on what our
own company is doing, said Mr. Rey-
noids. let me say thai. never In the his
tory OF geaver county was there so much
uolng IN mining way and never was the
showing what il is today. Beaver county
is on the verge OF a mining boom of huge
proportions and nothing, in my Judgment,
can hoid II back much longer The Mos
COW is a big mine right now and it is
growing bigger every day. The Red War

strikes have just been made in the Lydia
property and the Orphan Boy
Dozens and dozens of properties are
now being operated theoretically and not
a few of them have shOWIngs of ore which

and with the Carbonate, the Hub. the Ce-

JESSE KNIGHT
AFTER NEW Mine
Report Says Big Operator Is
Negotiating for Lead Prop
erty Over Arizona Line.

A report gained currency yesterday to
the effect that Uncle Jesse knight is ne
gotiating for lead property considered to
have in IL the making of mine that will
eclipse anything so far discovered in the
west. not barring the famous mines of the
Occur d'Alene country
The story as it came to The Herald yes
te-.iay was to the effect that late last fall
or last winter, young Spaniard or Next
can found the outcroppings of tremen-
dOuSly wide and rich iead-bearing lode
Just over the Utah line in Arizona, with
Moapa, on the San Pedro road, as the
nearest possible railroad shipping point.
The young prospector found his ledge
scored out at one point by a deep canyon
and there learned that it was more than
100 feet between walls. while the lead was
spattered all through the vein filling,
with occasional great streaks of solid ga
lena. The report is that man secured
an option on the property and went east
10 try and place it. But times were not
propitious and he failed to even arouse
the curiosity of anybody in the eastern
financial centers.
Recently, it is said. the find was report
ed to Uncle Jesse Knight and he prom
ised to look into it, A man was sent down
to look over the ground and, upon his re-
turn and report that it looked like a big
thing, Mr.. Knight sent one of his own
trustedHengineers to examine the prop
erty, first having obtained an option on
the claims.
Il understand" said The Herald's in
formant yesterday, that Mr.. Knights
man will be back from the property in
another day or two. and that if his report
verifies all that has been said for the
discovery. he will close the deal for II
without delay. | understand that 1t Will
take about $4,000 to get the ground. but
on what terms | do not know. II Jesse
Knight takes the property II Will mean
the building of a spur railroad from some
point on the San Pedro to reach it, the
distance being. from what i can learn,
about forty miles"

EMMA COPPER COMPANY
SUED FOR SMALL SUMS

John G. Stillwell. the Alta storekeeper.
yesterday brought suit against the Emma
copper company in the city court for
SSSO.S0. which he claims to be due on time
checks which he cashed. and l.. Z. De-
spain brought suit for $15l 50. which he
alleges is due for hauling freight for the
company.
One year ago last March the Emma
Copper company was very much in tile
lmeliSht. On the first of the month the
board OF directors was reorganiZed and
Samuel NewhOuse, ID. G.. Jackling and c.
w Whitley were given places. 1t was
given out that they had each bought a
large block of stock. in all 200 000 shares,
and while the amount and price was not
made public. IT was understood to 5e
Soc share. or a total of 100000. The
making public of this information caused
the stock TO jump from CSC to 75c share
the same day.
IL was not p great while until it began
TO be whispered that the big guns had
sold out and the price OF the stock de-
cliBed rapidly. Now. a little more than
a year and a half after the company was
supposed to have so lavishly provided
for the requirements of development. the
stock is hanging around &c share and
the company/is being sued for insignifi-
cant sums. No statement of any kind
has been given the stockholders since
the date mentioned beyond vague refer
ence TO an engineers report which ac-
companied an invitation TO subscribe for
additional treasury stock.

MINING BY CONTRACT
AT CUMBERLAND-ELY

The Cumberland Ely company. at the
Veteran mine. has inaugurated the con-
tract system of breaking ore which Is in
operation at other mines. but is said to
meet with opposition from the miners
here. says the Ely EXpositor. BY the
contract system miners are given con-
tracts on a block of ground where 1T has
been determined to run sub-level and
are paid by the ton rate, which is based
on the number of cars hauled away
from the chutes in the raises. The cars
in use are presumed to hold a ton, and
count of them will be kept at the shaft
where they are emptied into the big ore
pocket.
There have been rumors during the last
week that the plan was to be put into
operation. which were contradicted by 9TH
ers but the Expositor has been reliably
informed that three or four sets of leasers
have been working under the new plan for
some days The miners generally are OPP
posed to the plan on the ground that
where it is practiced the amount paid
ton is kept at the minimum SO that the
miners cannot make more than the ordi-
nary wages and have to keep busy to do
that Ii is said that the rate paid at the
Veteran will require a man 40 break elev-
en- and one-half tons to make wages. 1t
is predicted that the plan will be aban-
doned after a trial which Will demon
strate II to be- unsatisfactory to both
men and the companies.

WORK Is lNAUGURATED
ON THE WILD IRISH

Work was commenced in earnest at
the Wild Irish company's property in the
Gold Springs district. Iron county. on
Tuesday. and the purpose of the manage
ment Is said 10 be to develop the ground
at additional depth without delay.
From n tunnel that had opened the
ground something better than 100 feet
deep e winze is now being sunk in ore
that will average something like $50 a
ton in gold. When this ore body has been
prospected and opened up sufficiently to
warrant II. the expectation is that the
company will build mill to handle the
rock and convert its contents into gold
bullion. Strong men, most of them local
operators. are behind the Wild Irish and
the prediction is made by friends of tine
proposition that it will astOnish the ma
tives one of these days.

WORK KDOMNSfAFE
FOR 5000 MEN
Josiah Marvel Says Farmers
Need Men TO Help on
Farms

IF five thousand Of wilmington's un-
employed men and boys will go down
the State they viii find employment
that will not onl ygive them a good
living but will improve them in health
as WELL" was the advice given 70 the
city's unemployed by Josiah Marvel
this morning. upon his return from
an extended trip down the Peninsula.
Mr.. Marvel says the Peninsula crops
are more promising than ever and that
the farmers there are unable TO gel
help. Many raspberries, blackberries
and like crops are gcGng to waste in
the fields because OF the scarcity Of
farm help and the growers w.ll loose
thousands Of dollars unless the crops
are gotten in with the next week" The
farmers want men from the city AMI
if the unemployed win take recon-
mendations with them from Wilmington
business men they will be taken into
the homes Of the farmers and treated
splendidly. With this prospect Of
healthy and renumerative employment
there is no occasion for any man to be
without work." Mr.. Marvel declared
