STRIKE AT CHAFEY Isl
LIKE ANOTHER MIZPAH

made. The main tunnel is in on the
vein for a distance of 22O feet and the
face showed fully nine feet of ore. Five
feet of this is high grade shipping ore
running better han seven ounces gold,
while the other -four feet would all pay
large profits in the mill. At h mouth
of this tunnel a shaft has been sum on
the vein which gives a vertical depth
of fifty feet, drifts north and south
have been extended for a distance of
fifty feet from the bottom of the shaft
and the face of each showed ore dis
closed from seven to nine feet in width
and carrying values even better than
those on the tunnel level. Two hundred
feet south of the mouth of the tunnel
a large working shaft has been started
and at the same depth as the a just
mentioned a station was cut and drift
ing started northerly for the purpose of
connecting with the other workings.
Ore here was opened, fully as large and
showing values as high as in any open
ing in the mine. The walls are we'll de-
fined and are regular, being similar to
the Mizpah and when the story is told
twelve months from o | confidently
expect it to be simply a repetition OF
the early bonanza days of Tonopah.
"Two miles %southerly a big strike
was reported on ground owned by Mr.
McBee. The vein was reported to be
over -four feet wide and ore | saw was
sprinkled with free gold.
"There seems to be a feeling of con
fdenee with almost every one In the
district which is different from express
sions frequently heard in new mining
camps, and when it is considered that
the new developments at Chafey have
occurred within less than our months
| think it can be ~conservatively stated
that no development in the state within
recent years at least has shown up SC
! favorably for the same length of time.

GOLDFIELD BLUE BELL HAS
BIG BONANZA AT BERLIN

/ plete enough in itself to be reasonably
independent of outside aid.
The Richmond property, owned by
this company, and lying a mile south OF
Berlin, is equipped with ore bins from
which a good wagon road gives a down
hill haul to the mill. The various tun-
nels and i~nclines on the Richmond have
developed a good body of ore about
equal in grade to that on the original
property.
Four miles to the north is the Sham
rock property, also owned by this com.
pany, and which is connected with the
mill by a grade originally intended for
a tramway, but which is now used for
a road. Lessees have recently uncov-
cred $40 ore in the old workings of this
property, and it's future is as bright as
that of the Richmond.
Two pipe lines, one fifteen and one
FIVE miles long, taking water from vari-
Gus sources, supply the mill tanks with
water by gravity.
Twenty stamps of the mill are now
dropping on $15 ore from the dumps,
and as soon as the battery blocks can
be placed for the other 10 stamps, they
will also be put in commission.
A shoot of ore $50 feet long and from
four to eight feet wide, has been de-
veloped on the 100-foot level and will
supply the mill until the 400 and 500
levels can be put in condition to work.
Mr.. Pearson, the present president
and manager of the company, had
charge of this property together with
the Austin mines, the Nevada Central
railroad, and other interests of the
Stokes in Nevada, for five years, and is
probably better acquainted with the
properties than any other man.
The outlook for the Blue Bell COM
pany, has certainly been materially
frightened by the acquisition of the
Berlin property, and under Mr.. Pear
SON. able management, with such a
complete equipment and so much ore in
reserve, the company will soon be one Of
the solid mining propositions of this
state.

Especial Correspondence.)

Rockefeller, Oct. S.-Dan Clark of
Goldfeld reports his diggings as look
ing fine. The tunnel is now in $50 feet
and shows va:ues in FIVE places. One
small vein assays $l,460 in gold and
two ounces of silver to the ton.
Adolph Neaher of Goldfeld will COM
mence on October 18th to sink a shaft
near Knott 4 Thompson's property. He
will go to the l00-foot level, where he
will erosseut in both directions.
J. H. Kelley has abandoned his tun-
mel for the present and will turn his
attention to sinking a shaft. Work on
the shaft will begin Immediately.
The Double Triangle shaft of Knott
& Co. is progressing in fine shape. Ore
carrying tellurium has been struck ON
the 2O0-foot level. The members of the
company have been highly elated over
this find. There are a great number
of Goldfelders interested in this find
and all are highly elated.
The mine Of Knott & Thompson at
the mouth of the canyon or Stonewali
fiat has cut a ledge at the depth of 220
feet, which shows tellurium. This is in
a small quartz stringer, but is evidences
the proximity of a quartz body OF
great value.
The property of Coekings, Smith q
Houlden is looking better as distance is
gained. They are now running a tun-
re- which is in the Hill fifty feet. Two
veins have been cut which show values
ranging from IS to $50. The tunnel
will be driven 100 feet farther in the
hope of eneountering rock that will pay
to ship.

ID. s. johnson and III. C.. Morris re-
turned Monday from a trip to Berlin,
where they went to consult with s. I.
Pearson and j. G.. Phelps Stokes, re-
spectively the present manager and the
former controlling owner of the Berlin
property, now merged with the Gold
field Blue Bell Mining company, regard
ing the future development of the large
acreage now controlled by the latter
company.
The Berlin mines came under the con-
troll of Mr.. Stokes and his family in
1898 and the returns in bullion and con-
centrates from the mill from September
1900 to December 1905 show a gross
production of $540,774 The records
from the latter date, until about a year
ago, when the property was shut down,
are not Immediately available, but 1T
is known that the gross production OF
the property from it's purchase to date
is between $4,000 and 100000.
The property of the Berlin company
proper consists of twelve claims, all
patented, and developed by an S0O-foot
double compartment incline shaft,
equipped with two hoists, a 20-drill
Norwalk two stage compressor, two
smaller compressors of about 10 drills
capacity, a 30-stamp mill with amalga-
mating plates, ten vanners and a Will
fey table, the power for which is furn-
ished by a modern l00-h. p. Allis-Chalm-
ers Corliss engine, supplemented by a
5O-h. D. Corliss engine used for electric
lighting, etc.
A battery of six modern boilers sup
plies the steam for these engines, the
drying floor and for heating the mill.
| Wood is used for fuel.
A completely equipped machine shop,
containing large lathe, planer, drill
press, pipe cutting and bolt machine,
forge, ETC., driven by a separate engine,
enables the management to make any
necessary repairs on the premises. In
addition to this, a wagon shop, assay
office, large and we'll stocked store,
bunk house, mess house, and numerous
cottages make quite a settlement, com

"I have seen all the new discoveries
in Nevada during the past six years,
and the showing in the Black Hole
property at Chafey comes nearer being
another Mizpah than any strike made
in the state since Jim Butler awakened
the world to the fact that Nevada was
still on the map. The Chafey camp,
formerly known as Dun Glen, has been
a spasmodic producer for forty years
and being located on the old overland
trail from Montana to California, via
Virginia City, it seems strange that
more attention has not been given and
though practically surrounded by
former mining excitements at Hum
boldt, Unionville and Rye Patch, the
district has suffered from neglect, but
the day of fruition has come and come
to stay" said J. w. Langley of the
Langley Cushman company on his re-
turn from the Chafey section to Reno,
in an interview published in the Ga
zette.
In speaking of his stay in the camp,
Mr.. Langley said:
"The district, which includes the
camps of Tip Top, Sierra and Chafey,
has a combined population of perhaps
500 to 1000. There are now over 200
men at work in the mines and perhaps
nearly 100 men in the town of Chafey
who are doing carpenter and building
work. The town is building rapidly
and solidly. The business houses all
report good times and while / do not
expect to see the Rawhide rush re-
peated, ! do look for a steady increase
in population and would not re at all
surprised to see three thousand people
there by the end of this year.
"The developments of the last ten
DAYS in the now famous Black Hole
mine, owned by +. s. Chafey and asso-
c%iates, is perhaps the, most favorable
since the first ore disclosures were

WILL SINK DEEPER

At a depth of sixty-ive feet in the
shaft of the Pioche-M Mohawk a large
body of ore has been found, the extent
of which will not be proven until cross
cutting has been completed. From in
dications the orc is of the same char
acter as that of the famous Raymond 4
Ely ledge. A contract has been let to
j. Krakars to sink the shaft 200 feet

partial enforcement of the laws for the
protection of both persons and property
and for the maintenance of peace ant
order within the confines of our state
We feel hat if the state should leave
itself powerless to deal with the emer
gencies as they arise, it can never en-
joy the respect and confidence of either
it's sister states or the national govern
ment and that it's progress and pros
perity will be seriously retarded by the
fear of both labor and capital that Their
respective rights will not be adequately
protected.
We therefore demand that the pres.
ent State Police law be maintained with
such amendments as will insure against
abuse of power, interference in local
affairs, except where the local officers
are unable or unwilling to perform their
sworn duty and win guard against the
police force degenerating into a politi-
cal machine.
We condemn as cowardly, unpatriotic
and unworthy the action of the recent
Republican convention in refusing for
demagogic political purposes any direct
reference to, or endorsement of this
measure, although the passage of the
law was advocated by every Republican
newspaper in the state and the bill re-
eeived the support, with but two ex-
ceptions, of every Republican member
of the seats legislature.

We challenge the Republican claim
that the progress of the country during
the past years are due to Republican

every great panic that has swept over

in full force and effect and the country
is even now suffering from financial de-

John Wynne must hang for the muir
der of Archibald F. McKinnon.
Such is the meaning of the verdict of
the jury, returned yesterday afternoon
in the United States District Court, af-
ter being out thirty-fve minutes. Four
forms of verdict were given the jury by
Judge Dole in his Instructions. One
was "not guilty" Another was guilty
of manslaughter. The third was guilty
of murder, but without capital punish
ment. The fourth was the one re-
turned by the jury and was as follows:
"We the jury in the above entitled
cause, duly empaneled and sworn, do
find the defendant, John Wynne, guilty
of murder in manner and form as
charged in the Indictment.
"JOHN LUCAS, Foreman. !"

trials that has been heard in local

Employers Home TO
Kill Herself.

It was a CHASTITY spectacle that met
Mr.. and Mrs. A. n. Sanford when
they returned to their home on
Quarry street, near Lunalilo, last even
ign, where they found their japanese
female servant lying dead in the
bathroom with her throat cut The
Sanfords left their home in the fore
noon and did not return until evening,
and the appearance of the body show
ed the woman had been dead several
hours.
She was lying on her back, her head
resting against a partition, one hand
lying on her breast. Nearby was a
razor. There were no evidences of a
struggle to indicate murder. Deputy
Sheriff Jarrett is convinced that the
woman committed suicide.
The deceased was Yoshino Naka-
motto, aged "a years, born at Hiro-
shima Ken, Japan. She had been en-
ployed by the Sanfords for a long
time. An inquest will be held to-
night, when, possibly, a reason for
her act may be brought out.
A coroner's jury was empaneled by
Deputy Sheriff Jarrett, consisting of
Messrs. j. A. Williams, S. Gumpher,
Bert Colburn, Manuel Quadres Jr.,
James Moenahaele, j. R. Francis.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS WILL
GROW TOGETHER SOME DAY

Some day in the future the precinct
waiian Islands will have to be changed,
for, according to the theory of Prof.
Hitchcock, the eminent geologist and
college professor, who has come to Ho-
nolulu to reside, the entire group of
islands viii eventually be one big island
However, that physiological condition
is somewhat remote, or to be as exact
as Prof. Hitchcock, few thousands of
millions of years distant
The present group of islands was at
one time composed of vast number of
small islets or pinnacles rising out of
the sea, but gradually as they rose the
space between them also filled up and
several islands became one island and
IN time the group of large islands
formed.
These ideas will be presented in a
book which Prof. Hitchcock is now fin
ishing on Hawaii and Its Volcanoes, y
and which is already in the hands of
the Gazette Company for publication.
Prof. Hitchcock came to Honolulu re-
Gently to complete the book, and insert
any new observations he NAV make
while adding the finishing touches. He
has been at work for number of years
on the book. and when presented to the
public it will be one of the most valu-
able scientific treatises on Hawaii ever
published.
The first part of the book will relate
to the general features of the physi-
ology of the whole group. It does not
deal merely with the inhabited islands,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-11-10

but the whole group extending $500
miles to the westward. In the geogra-
phies the more remote islets are not
considered. but they have to be CON
sidered in the general physiological
makeup. His idea is that all the
islands are alike, and all belong to one
series and arose in very much the same
way from the depths of the sea.
The second part is a full description
of what has been written and what is
known of Hawaii s two great volcanoes
-Kilauea and Mauna Loa. He has ex-
amined everything that has ever been
written on the subject and has con
densed these writings from the begin
ming until now.
The third part viii deal with various
conclusions derived from the study of
the volcanoes. There are two types of
active volcanoes, those which are quiet
ly active and the explosive ones, those
Of Hawaii belonging to the former
class. As to earthquakes, those which
visit the islands are often those which
originate on the coast of South America
and make tour across the Pacific
Ocean, taking in the islands en- route.
Earthquake waves start, at times, sixty
feet high, but dwindle away gradually
until they are but a few inches I'M
height when they reach the opposite
coast. Some start on the japanese
coast and travel across the Pacific TO
the American coasts.
As to the origin of the islands, Prof.
Hitchcock s theory is that craters at
the bottom of the sea gradually built
