a hundred and one other details are re-

A large number of properties in all
stages of development, from the least

as indicating their desire to deliver ore
at the earliest possible moment.
Mr.. Loder, the manufactures of the
smelter, who, as before stated, will re-

demonstration, has stated that the only
problem is that of sufficient ore, and
this feature now appears to be favor

he is assured of visits from their repre-
sentatives as well as other representa-

Mountain View and Granite are

THREE AUSTIN MINERS
ARE ASPHYXIATED

"Boys, I'm gone,' was the despair
ing cry of A. r. Dron, aged so, a
pioneer mining man of Austin, who fell
senseless on the 45o-foot level of the
Frost shaft Sunday, and expired of
asphyxiation. He had gone 10 feet be-
low the point where the air was good,
and was overcome by the deadly gas
that pervates the lower levels of the
shaft.
Without a minute of hesitation Con-
rad Cummings and Henry Williams, two
fellow-miners, dropped down the shaft
in an effort to rescue Dron. The foul
air put out their candle. Wildly they
| CROPPED around in the darkness in an
| effort to find the body of Dron. Their
efforts were futile, and they, too, were
overcome.
When the plight of the three men was
known. Dudley Acree, Daniel Parkham
and DR.. Bruton volunteered to go down
the shaft in an effort to rescue them
They were lowered into the death trap
with ropes, and by dint of most strenu'
GUS work were able to bring the un'
fortunate men to the surface. For al
hour doctors worked over the bodies
Cummings and Williams finally showed
signs of returning life and were event
ually brought to. All efforts with Dror
proved futile, however, and he was pro
nounced dead.

The Gold Circle News of this week
contains the following in regard to the
bonanza strike made on the Esmeralda
property last Sunday:
every pick struck, every blast e
ploded on the great Boyle, McNulton,
Weston and Ryan lease shows up bet
ter and richer in this wonderful bo-
nanza. The Mizpah at the same stage
in the life of Tonopah, the Jumbo of
Goldfeld at the same stage of develop
ment, were not comparable with this
Esmeralda lease. Eight feet of $44 ore
with an eighteen-inch streak that as
says $317.50 to $s35.60, 500 of it silver
per ton, is the showing in this lease.
The 300 feet beyond this on the same

but it made one feel better to look into
the window of the Lyon County bank
last week and see the three siues Of re-
torted bullion, representing $4,000, on
exhibition there, and know that it came
from a place only IL miles from Yer
ington from a mine owned by Yerington
people, and that this exhibition Of bull

from the same mines indefinitely.
Great interest in the new leases on
the Big -Four ground, lately eonsol-
idated by Messrs. Beach, Beatty, George
Wilson and John McGowan. This
ground was somewhat in conflict and so
remained practically unprospectcd until
settlement of the disputes by consolida-
tion was effected last sumner, when

ore from large lodges. la one place
they have four feet of ore, which they
expect to have milled at Schurz in the
new Rankcr Truett mill there.
Mrs. Mingle, who bough. the Brown
Finlyson lease on the Big 20 at Granite,
has a lareg lot of ore screened and
ready for shipment to Schurz.
The other leases on the Big 20 are all
working on ore of varying grade.
The Big Cross tunnel on the Golden

ahead with great vigor by Emerson,
Vaughn and others, and il is expected
will cut the ledge about the LIST of No

about 420 feet. 1t is now in over 800

The camp of Chafey is located in
Humboldt county, Nevada, twenty
miles southwest of Winnemucea, the
county seat of Humboldt county, and
nine miles northeast of Mill City, two
stopping places on the Southern Pacific
railroad. The camp is admirably To-
Gated in Dun Glen canyon and easily
accessible, and its growth is steady and
substantial. On the Fourth of July of
the present year Chafey could only
boast of three old adobe houses and one
tent saloon. Now, however, it possesses
over 100 buildings and tents, and has a
population of from 800 to 1000 souls,
while nearly every line of business is
represented. Already the camp has five
stores, three lumber yards, eight sa-
looms, two assay offices, one good hotel,
four restaurants, two livery stables, one
notary public, one TOWNSHIP company,
three laundries, two investment com
panies, four contractors and builders,
one drug store, three doctors, two stage
lines from Winnemucca, running daily;
two from Mill City, making two trips
daily; auto lines from Winnemueca,

THE GHOST OF BANKRUPTCY.

There ought to be a moral in the re-
port of the secretary of the treasury,
saws the oregon Journal. The deficit
for the fiscal year ending June. 80 last
was s5S,000,000. 1t is one of the great
est in the history of the nation. Yet 1t
is estimated that the deficit for 1909
will far surpass 1t, mounting to the
unprecedented total Of $4,000 600.
Nor T. this ALL The estimate for
1910, without taking into account pos
sible loss of revenue from tariff reduc-
tions, is placed at the great total Of
SAB, 100000. From the standpoint OF
business it is a bankruptive PROPOSE
ton. The moral of it is that those
who are conducting things are ''plung-
ing" They are in a career of high
finance that must be checked or af-
fairs be turned over to a receivershlp
Otherwhere than in government this
national balance sheet with the bal
ance on the wrong side of the ledger
would be the signal for reduction of
expenditures. That is the course sug-
gested by reason as well as by bust
ness.
Our business management has been
such that We have already reached
the point where indirect taxation, graft
and bad government cost every head
of a family in the nation $500 per
year. On this average man every added
Dreadnaught costing $1O,000,0OO levies
a toll. Every one of the ninety odd
thousand new federal employees put
on the government salary rolls in the
last four years levies a toll on him.
All the thousands of governmental
schemes of exploitation, costing tons
of money, are a tax on his TOLL his
time and his talent. All this is a rea-
son, and a vital one, for cutting gov
eminent expenditures. The cost of
living in this country has reached a
point where wages, toll and vital
forces are swallowed up in the strug-
gle to merely exist, all due to indirect
taxation, graft and the lapses of bad
government. These are reasons
enough for a reduction of government
expenditures, by dismissal Of an army
of needless officials and a stay in
building the ornaments of an impossi-
BILE war. If these, however. are not
reasons enough to convince congress
then the national balance sheet with
its deficits, present and to come, should
present the moral in the good old logic
of eventuating bankruptcy

THE MUNICIPOL ELECTIONS.


On Tuesday all Of the smaller NUM-
CAPABILITIES in the state held their cleo
tons. 1t is noteworthy that, with
scarcely a single exception, there were
no partisan tickets in the field, that u.s.
in the name of national political par
ties. In many places there was but
one ticket. that named at the prima-
ries. Yet in two instances the de-
feated candidate for mayor at the pri-
maries ran for the office, on "stickers''
and was elected.
The division of voters was altogeth-
er on local issues, in several of the
municipalities that issue being the reg
ulation of the saloon traffic On this
issue there was the usual result, the
"wets" winning in several places and
the 'drys" in others
The manner in which the various
municipalities of this state have sue
ceeded in excluding party politics al
most altogether from the matter of
their local governments speaks well
for the intelligence and good sense of
the voters. There Is not the slightest
real connection between national poll
ties and the administration of the To-
cal affairs of small municipality,
says the Post Intelligencer To intro
duce party politics into the municipal
elections operates in no way toward
the improvement of the local govern
ment, but rather to the contrary. 1t
also aids in the building up and per-
, fecting of a political machine, by CIV
ing an enlarged number of offices and
perquisites to be- distributed to the fol-
lowers of the successful machine
