DESPONDENT MINER COMMITS
SUICIDE AT SEVEN TROUGHS

At the mining camp of Seven
Troughs last Sunday morning VIM. M.
Morrow, leaser on the Badger prop
erty in that camp, committed suicide
by shooting himself through the head.
No cause has been assigned for the
rash act, although Morrow had often
contemplated suicide, and was of a
melancholy frame of mind. The prop
erty on which he was leasing has been
showing up well and shipment was
contemplated in the near future.
Morrow had been in the Seven
Troughs district about a year, having
come from Aspen, Pitkin county, Colo,
where he leaves wife and child
He had but recently taken out heavy
insurance policies, one in the Great

LADY PROMOTER IN
THE CITY

Mrs. William NJ Anderson, of
Berkeley. California, is in the
city from Red Butte. in the interest Of
mining properties owned by herself
and husband in the new camp. When
seen at the Shone house today by a
representative of the Silver State
News, Mrs. Anderson had the following
to say concerning Red Butte:
My husband, William M. Anderson,
was the original discoverer of copper
in the Red Butte district, and has or
ganized the Nevada Anaconda com
pany, with himself as president; d. c..
Holcomb, vice president; W. O..
Young, secretary and general manager.
The latter is the well known Guggen-
helm expert. The company has noun
tain of copper ore, much of which will
run from 40 to so per cent. Next
week considerable force of men will
be put to work on the property and
we will probably ship until we can
arrange for the erection of our own
smelter
"Red Butte is rapidly assuming city
proportions. Although but few davs
old. we already have general store
and restaurant, and go or 20 tents,
which number is receiving daily ad
ditions.

MOVING OF DIVISION
POINT LONG Way OFF
WORK ON THE WIHUJA
LEASE BEING PUSHED

SEVEN TROUGHS, July 3.-One OF
the greatest strikes of picture ore ever
made in this state, which is so famous
for its gold ores, has been made in the
Wihuja lease, on the ground of the
Seven Troughs Therien Mining Go.
The Wihuja lease was taken over
some months ago by George b. Lou
don and associates of Minneapolis, and
under the able management of j. b.
Newman, rapid development work
has been in progress.
In the west drift from the 265-foot
level an ore chimney was opened that
has increased in width and values un-
til there is now exposed in the face of
the drift body of picture ore fully
two feet wide that runs into fabulous
values. Much of this ore will run
from $4,000 to $4,000 per ton, while
the entire two feet as it breaks will
run close to the $1,000 mark. Chunks
of the ore weighing IA to 20 pounds
show the rock thoroughly permeate 4
with the yellow metal This ore is
now being sacked and shipment will
be made by the 10th of July, making
another high grade shipping mine in
this wonderfully rich district.
Adjoining the Wihuja lease are the
workings of the Seven Troughs Kin
dergarten mine, which has exposed two
shoots of very high-grade ore, one on
the l00-foot level and one on the 22J-
foot level, in addition to their large
bodies of high-class milling ore. Work
has already commenced on the new
double compartment shaft which will
be rushed to the 300.foot level that
will greatly facilitate the handling of
their milling ores. About 30 tons OF
ore per day are now being hoiste1
through the shaft OF the Wihuja lease
to keep their 10-stamp mill running

z. B. FINDLAY TELLS
WHY THE PRODUCT Is Low
Stringency in the Money Market and
Only 35 per Cent Of Machinery in
Operation Responsible for
Condition

F. B. Findlay of the wool firms OF
F. B. Findlay & Co., San Francisco,
and Findlay Gardner company of Bos-
ton accompanied by Mrs. Findlay and
son, Frank Miller, has been in the
city most Of the time for the past
week, guests of the firm g local agents,
Messrs. Staunton Bros. In converse
tion with representative of the Sill
yer State News yesterday, Mr.. Find
lay had the following to say in regard
to the wool market:
"The market for what is known to
the trade as short woods is at pres
ent very inactive, prices ranging from
9 to IL cents per pound, as against
from IA to Is at this time last year.
These low prices are due to several
causes. Only about 35 jer cent of the
wool machinery of the United States
has been running for the past sew
eral months, and as a result manufac-
turers are buying from hand to mouth.
This fact, taken in connection with
the stringency in the money market,
furnishes the explanation for the low
price of the product.
s'In California not to exceed 80
per cent of the last two clips has been
moved, and not more than 10 per cent
has been sold outright, the balance
having been shipped on consignment.
So you can see from this that they still
have on hand 80 per cent of the last
two clips, and fall shearing will soon
be commenced. A large portion OF
the clips from the states of Nevada,
California, Wyoming, Texas, Colorado
and Utah have been moved on consign-
men, and are now accessible for
the inspection of manufacturers. As
long as these conditions prevail buy
ers will not come west to purchase.
"However, there is a good market
for Montana and Australian woods, the
former being quoted around IL cents
1--WE dealers do not look for any
improvement in the short wool mar
ket until after election.'
Has your present visit any partic-
ular significance, Mr.. Findlayf" ven
tured the reporter.
"None whatever was the reply.
Mrs. Findlay and I are out ca
joying our summer vacation, and came
up to take a look at the country where
the wool is grown. We took run
up into Oregon last week to try Mr..
Staunton' automobile, and while
there fshed little, visited with the
growers and bought clip or two. We
shall start for San Francisco Wednes
day, after very pleasant outing, and
may stop off for day or two at Lake
Tahoe.'
