STATE IS RID OF
ten SCORE LIONS
Bounty Offered by Game COM
mission Results in Slaugh-
ter of Big Cats

Two hundred mountain lions have
fallen before the hunters of the state
since November 1, 1907. when the fish
and game commission announced a
bounty of $40 on each scalp. The COM
mission has paid out $4,000. The ami
mails have been killed for the most part
in the mountain counties, where they
prey upon deer and cattle. In the affi-
davits accompanying the scalps the
statement Is generally made that the
lions have been tracked by their depre-
dations among live stock and deer. In
many cases the carcasses have been
found and the lion located in a neigh
boring tree.
The California mountain lion is a
very cunning animal and 1t is exceed
ingly difficult to trap him. He is tracked
by dogs, treed and then shot.
Several violators OF the fish and
game laws have been arrested recently
in various parts of the state. Deputy
A. F. Lea arrested a party in Lake

PRODUCTION OF ANTHONY

Although a falling market throughout
the year gave little encouragement to the
development of American production of
anthony. the output in the United States
in 1907 showed an increase of 256 tons in
quantity and of s19,497 in value as COM
pared with the output of the preceding
year, the total being 2,022 short tons, val
ued at S622. 046. in 1897. as against 1,766 short
tons, valued at 500. $40 in 1906
As usual the greater part of the anti
mony produced in the United States was
that contained in antimonial lead and sold
by the smelters in that form. AS this al
10y is extensively used in type metal

ONE MORE TUNGSTEN MINE
AT ROUND MOUNTAIN

Dr. Carl Goblin, who is in charge of the
operations on the Melvin group OF tung-
stem claims. which adjoin the famous
Round Mountain Monster tungsten prop
erty, reports the progress TO be in every
way satisfactory, says the Round Noun
tain Nugget.
The tunnel has been driven into the
mountain for a distance of 200 feet. at
which point a crosscut has been run west
ward for eighty feet.
The entire distance of go feet has been
scanned with stringers of tungsten from
almost its pure state to milling ore. Inc
seams and pockets of pure tungsten have
been sacked as they have been taken out
OF the milling ore. DR.. Goblin says there
is now about 800 tons on the dump ana ne
is awaiting the arrival of an expert 10
advise him in regard to the possibilities
and best plans for a mill.
Judge Yule of Oakland. who Is interest
ed with DR.. Goblin in the property, has in
mind to send one of BoraX Smiths eX-
perts to look over the property. This par
ticuiar expert is said TO be at the present
time examining some properties in Central
America and matters pertaining TO a mlli

RAILWAYS HUSTLING FOR
NEVADA ORE BUSINESS

The railway companies are after ore in
earnest. says the Goldfield Tribune The
Tonopah & Goldfield is the only one of
the three lines that is hauling out ore IN
Clark roads appear to be out of business
in this respect. but this is evidently due
to the fact that smelters on those lines
are not ready to handle the ore. From
seven 10 ten carloads of ore a Gay is be
ing shipped at the present time over the
Tonopah line. consigned to trust smell
tiers throughout the western country. but
the greater portion is going to the Payton
smelter in California. The shippers are
compelled to stand high rate for ex-
tracing the values as there are no Gus
tom mills in the camp.
The Tidewater is after ore also, and
the old smelter at Needles is being reno
waited and a rate on all kinds of ore will
be made that will prove attractive to the
shippers. The Las Vegas road will not
stand idly by while the other two roads
are getting the tonnage. and the Smelter
at Jerome on the Clark road is also being
renovated and enlarged. The agents of
field for the last six months sizing up the
situation. Ore has to be secured either
from Goldfield or some other camps along
the lines. The completion of the Console
dated and the Florence mills will not re-
lieve the situation, for the mining COM
treat their ores will have to ship 10 out
side points. The Consolidated and the
Florence companies have ore enough in
sight TO keep their plants busy. and there
will be no call for the product of other
mines.

MOHAWK JUMBO LEASE
RUNS OUT OF PAY ORE

The Mohawk-Jumbo is practically out of
ore of shipping grade and instead of rock
that was represented to run from $50 to
$40 ton since the resumption of the lease
some forty days ago. the shipments have
returned much less and promised divi-
dend has gone glimmering. says the Gold
field Tribune. For the past two weeks
or more the ore has barely paid the ex-
pense of mining and treatment. At the
present time the mine is being explored
for any kind of ore that will do to ship.
Work is being carried with the hope
of finding another shoot.
we have been shipping ore from the
mine for the past two weeks that did not
average $50 ton and at the present time
the output is light" said George B. Hol-
leran. one of the principal stockholders.

Red Top Leasing company was purchased
by the Mohawk-Jumbo last February at
outlay of s45,7J0. Since that purchase
great deal of work has been done on
the ground but up to date ore of
shipping grade has been found in this
venture. although the indications are good
in the levels. where 1900 feet of lateral
work has been done. 1t is one of the as
sets of the company.
There is some $4,000 in the treasury,
but the pay roll will have to be met. A
dividend will be declared at the expiration
of the lease with what money is in the
treasury and in the event of ore not being
found the lease will be surrendered

KRAMER HILL is CREDITED
WITH ANOTHER BIG STRIKE

III Kramer hill had been discovered two
or three years ago. or even if today it
were situated in some parts of the state,
1t would cause one of the greatest eX-
elements ever known. says a Golconda
correspondent of the Humboldt, New,
Star. As IL is, the leasers go on
their work in steady. earnest. quiet
way. and very little attention is paid
to the hill except when the community
is aroused By the wonderful rich strikes
that are made from time to time. and
then great interest is felt for some
time. II has been truly said that green
fields lie far away" and while distant
mining camps are boosted and helped
along Kramer hill is practically over
looked.
The phenomenal strike made yesterday
on the Eggers-Lyng-Welsh lease
caused a good deal of excitement in town,
as IL proves beyond a doubt that the ore
bodies are continuous. Specimens of the
twenty-five pounds brought to town show
seams half an inch wide of almost pure
gold. One large specimen in particular
caused n great deal of comment The piace
weighs more than eight pounds and shows
a half inch streak OF almost pure gold
going entirely through the piece. These
specimens were taken from a four and
one-half foot ledge which was encoun-
tered while prosecuting on the 50-foot

DENVER IS SORE
At SALT LAKE
Over This City'S Proposal to
Capture Headquarters of
Mining Congress.

At the meeting of Colorado members
OF the American Mining congress. many
recommendations were made and resolu-
tons passed. which were of more than
ordinary interest. The subject of fraudu-
lent manipulations was the main subject
during the first days session, and the
discussions on the subject were on about
the same line as in previous meetings.
says Denver Mining Science of Thursday
last.
IL was during this session that the mat
ter of the efforts of Salt Lake to secure
the permanent home OF the national body
was taken up. The resolutions adopted
in relation TO the action of Salt Lake
were clearly worded. though somewhat
bitter between the lines.
While II would appear. casually, that
salt Lake was merely demonstrating
commendable interest In the welfare OF
the congress, on closer scrutiny. and in
the light of the facts as presented in
the resolutions, II can be seen that the
action was In direct opposition to the

Future of the District.

Concerning the future of the distric., Mr.

Few districts have shown greater
steadiness in production in the past oi

tivity in the future. The pay shoots OK
tend to great depths. with remarkably lit
tie change in the character of the ore
Some of the most productive mines are
yet in their infancy. so far deep ori-
inSs so. The deeper Canyon Creek mines
are apparently getting into lean ores AND
may cease to be profitable in a few
years. On the other hand, new diScoV-
cries will undoubtedly be MADE in a dis
trict where such an ore body us that of
the Hercules could so long remain I'm

and silver is likely to increase for sew

not probable that the district will ever

grow larger, and may possibly attain

about $3.50, 100000 OF this total about $780,
oW,0OO was in lead, 5000 900 in silver and
$5,0o0,000 in gold. A production of copper
and zinc in the last two years is not in
cluded. But although the district has
thus been for several years the greatest
lead producer in the United States, COM
paratively little has been published con-
corning its geology. 1t lies III a region

with roads and trails and not until the
beginning of the present decade was its
