RUSHING INTO THE
GOLD CIRCLE DISTRICT


RENO, New, March 17.--The same
fight that exists between SEIZURE and
Fallon for the traffic into Rawhide
promises to be duplicated between
Battle Mountain and Golconda for
the traffic into the Gold Circle dis.
tr!ct, which Is now rivaling JessuI
and Rawhide for public interest. The
citizens OF Battle Mountain met yes.
terday and subscribed $4,000 as a
fund for Immediately starting work
upon q toll road to be constructed
from that place to Gold Circle.
This was done to attract the travel
into the new camp by way of Battle
Mountain, as 1t is mostly going by
Golconda now, where four automo-
bile lines r daily taxed for accom-
modations, Gold Circle is thirty-fve
miles from Battle Mountain and for
ty-seven miles from Golconda. From
the latter place are the best roads
and the trip is made In three and a
half hours.
The rock Is rhyolite with well de-
fined porphyry dykes running north
west and southeast. traceable for
five miles. The Bamberger claim has
uncovered the richest ore in the dis
trict, going into the thousands with

RICH ROCK Is
THROWN ON DUMP

Seven Troughs Therien yesterday
cut the Mazuma Hills vein at a point
about 200 feet west of the Upper
Troughs. where high grade was be-
ing thrown on the dump before IL
was realized that rich values had
been struck.
Manager Sandifer of the Seven
Troughs Mining and Development
Company had put two miners pros
pecting for the ore zone, which has
been opened a few hundred feet to
the north of his lease. and he was
amazed at the wealth disclosed by
the find. In a short time the entire
camp had the news ard everybody
rushed to the scene OF the discovery.
Hundreds of free gold specimens that
had been thrown on the dump were
carried away by the crowd. Some
of this ore assayed $17,623 to the
ton.
1nese small hunks inadvertently
thrown upon the dump, are identical
with the richest streaks in the Ma
yuma Hills ledge.
The rich specimens are OF a blush
white quartz, permeated with gold,
similar to those taken from the
Seven Troughs Fairview. The coarse
yellowish gold appears in a assure
having the same dip and strike as
the Mazuma Hills. Eighteen inches
of pay ore is exposed.
The assay quoted was made by a
trustworthy assayer Of this camp,
and this is not in the least exagger-
ated.-Reno Journal.

.SmelterS Reach
for Nevada Ores

The horizon of the mining industry
throughout the West is beginning to
clear after the late financial furry.
In midwinter mining in many locali-
ties was virtually at a standstill, ow-
ing to the stringency in the money
market and the attitude of the smell
ters in their treatment of ore produ-
GERS. Now, however, the embargo
on money has been removed, and the
smelters are beginning to reach out
after the ores on more reasonable
terms, the result being that ore ship
ments are being quite largely resum-
ed and small shippers are enabled
to begin operations upon a more en-
ergetic scale, while big mining COM
panies who were virtually closed
down during the slump, are quietly
adding to the forces and increasing
their payrolls. Improvements are
also being made and there is a no
ticeable increase in the demand for
mine equipment and milling machin-
cry.
The decline in metal quotations
has also been a handicap to the min
ing operator, and every metal, with
the exception of gold, has been on
the toboggan slide. although it is be-
lieved that the bottom has been
reached, and that renewed activity
along industrial lines will soon see a
decided Improvement in the metal
market.
AS 1t is only ores of the tirst-class
order al be proftably handled I'M
der present conditions, and this pro-
hibits the operation of low grade
mines which were working at a profit
last summer and during the early
fall, and these, unless equipped with
reduction works so that higher val
ues in concentrated form can be fur
nished the smelters, are practically
at a standstill.
Still, certain conditions have OBJ
tanned on account of the depression
that are favorable to mining opera
tions at the pre- ent time. Labor Is
not so arrogant and oppressive, and
in many camps wages have been re-
duced so as TO be in harmony with
the ability of the mine owners to
give employment and pay for the
same, while railroads are far from
being as congested as they were dur
ing the boom times of six or eight
months ago, and railroad companies
are inclined to be nor reasonable
in the matter of freight charges.
In almost every mining section of
the West a revival of interest is be-
ing felt in mining operations, and
especially is this the EAST in the ae-
quiring and development of proper
ties OF good prospective value. Money
for this purpose is being freely fur
nished by home talent, but the bulk
of it is coming from the East, the
investor beginning to realize that
money expended in good mining
properties or securities is safer than
II put into railroad or other indus
trial investments.
As a matter of fact, so favorable
Is the East inclined to attractive min
ing opportunities in the mining West
that the West will soon forget that
1t has aver been touched or scathed
by the wave of unrest and lack Of
confidence that has held the
try in its grasp during the past six
months. Viewed from every stand
point. the outlook for the mining in
dustry continues to improve day by
day, and week by week,-Mining

London, Jan. 30.-Having failed to

the ceremonies of the opening of par

is effectively barred against them, the
women suffragists of England this
morning adopted a new method Of
protesting against the fact that his
majesty, in his speech from the
throne, made no mention of their de-
mands to be permitted to vote. The
militant members of the organization
formed themselves into several COM
mitteeS which at the same hour today
visited the homes of the various mem
bers of the cabinet for the purpose
of asking them to use their influence
to have the question of women's suf-
frage settled at this session. AS none
of the ministers would see them. the
women demonstrated by ringing door
bells and delivering addresses from
dOOrsteps
The police were unprepared for this
course Of action, and noisy scenes
were witnessed on several of the
fashionable thoroughfares of London
The women eventually dispersed af-
ter several arrests had been made.
