There is about half a ton from that
camp, also, showing the various cop
per ores. There is malachite, chrysa.
cola Copper silicate), cuprite. chalcan
thite (blue vitriol) and the different
kinds Of country rock.
The Blue Stone mine includes SPLEEN
did specimens of chalcopyrite (yeIlow
copper mong the collection from
Yerington-over 200 pounds of it.
The ores from Yerington show the
different stages of ore deposition and
tie manner in which the limestone has
been all or partially replaced by cop
per. The gossan, or iron cap, typical
of every great copper camp, traverses
the property of the Nevada Douglas
company, and several specimens of this
have beer sent with the exhibit, show
ing the various stages Of alienation.
More Ore From Tonopah
Another addition to the exhibit to
come from Tonopah is that of the
Tonopah Mining company, taken from
the Mizpah mine, and while the com
pany undoubtedly will send more, what
mas been received already is typical of
the greatness of Tonopah.
1t includes a great picc of sulphide
ore, showing copper carbonates, and a
quantity of oxidized ore containing ar
gentle and c%erargyrite. For such a
small quantity of ore, it is probably
one of the most notable collections thus
tar received.
The collection of ore from the Lodi
district has not yet been unpaeked, but
it is a safe conclusion that the enter
prising citizens of that camp have
done their level best to afford the min
eraI exhibit a collection worthy of the
district, and one that will attract at,
tention.
The exhibit from Tonopah is from
the Midway Mining company s proper
ty, and Mr.. Smith is to be congratulate
ca in procuring such a splendid dis
play of the ores of that camp as the
first from the silver camp to the NORTH
is. The exhibit is accompanied by !
handsome specimen case, which !
hardly large enough to hold all of th'
loo or more magnificent specimens o
silver ore. The ore shows hat Tono
pah is perhaps the greatest silver cam
today, and il the other mines of Tono
pah contribute such handsome exhih
its, even the Comstock itself will hav
to work hard to rival it.

the Midway Mining company, NJ

RECORD BREAKING EXHIBITS
FOR THE MINING CONGRESS

..The exhibit from the Midway Min
ing company, of Tonopah, is certainly
a noteworthy one, containing, as IT
does, about 100 hand specimens, weigh
ing from a few ounces to ten ponds.
The specimens are all high grade, and
some should assay up to $4,000 a ton
in silver alone. The matrix OF the
rock for the most part is a hard, fine
grained quartz, while the minority
have a banded structure, and a very
few show the action of water by the
chalcedony quartz crystals.
.The principal ore is ruby silver,
both pyrargyrite and proustite, brittle
silver, stephanite and black silver ar
gentle, and mingled with these is py
rite. The crystal structure is wonder
fully well developed, and shows as
perfect forms as nature produces. The
other forms are just as fine In appear
ance. and the collection as a whole is
a typical ore for any great silver
camp

hibits from the various mines, the en-

ore is high grade, while some GOO

From the Free Coinage group, ownel
by NJ. Cryan and associates, spec
mems of silver and gold, and copper
and silver ore has arrived, running IN
values from $50 to SIS a ton. Z. )
Mackedon and associates have sent
ore from the Gold King claim running
1900 ounces in silver and 81 ounces
in gold. Their exhibit also includes
mill ore running Is ounces in gold an
% ounces in silver. L.. l.. Hogertoi
and associates have sent in a number
of specimens Of lead ore showing sill
yer and gold values. The Jackrabbi
mine has sent IN samples or gaiena
and Barby and Hunsucker from tn
Mohawk No. 2, have sent antimon.,
and ore containing gold, silver and an
timony, running $37 to the ton.
From the Nevada Equity Mine
company, in Austin, which has not
shown signs of awakening from a Ion
sleep, high grade silver and antimon
ore that win run over 5000 to the to

Like the flood waters Of a swollen
river that gain strength from every
little tributary and stream along its
length, the specimens for the mineral
exhibit of the American Mining con
gress are pouring into Goldfeld in lar
ger numbers daily, and there is no
doubt that the collection to be shown
in the Mineral Palace will wonderfully
portray the mineral possibilities of the
state of Nevada. The latest to arrive
are from the Mizpah mine of the Tono-
pah Mining company; from the Noun
tain King and Lucky Boy properties in
Lucky Boy; from the Douglas and Lud-
wig mines in Yerington; and from
Lodi.
elf you want more we can quarry
it out by the ton,' says a letter from
Miller and Adams, the owners of the
Mountain King and Lucky Boy claims,
in Lucky Boy, and as it is, the exhibit
sent in by this company is not less
than half a ton of the richest high
grade silver and lead ore obtainable in
the state. One huge piece alone weighs
fully 400 pounds, and takes three men
to move it from place to place. Others
are smaller, but every one of the speci-
mems sent in show the nature and char
acter of the ore of that district per-
~fectlv. The Mccormack lease will also
be well represented by specimens now
being selected.
In the exhibit from Lucky Boy is IN
cluded the ore that was shown for
some time in the First National bank
of this city-over 200 pounds alone.
Among the specimens that have just
arrived is a piece weighing about sou
or 400 pounds, showing a perfect speci
ment of the argentiferous galeha Oh tIs
district, running high in silver, leas
and small values in copper. All Of th'
specimens would assay from 500 t

done in the past has been in the ande-
site, which has never produced any ore
in this camp.
The shaft Of the Nevada Eastern
lease on the Atlanta, north Of the
Cherokee, is still going through good
looking ledge formation, but the values
continue low. The new vein in the
Cherokee courses directly through the
Nevada Eastern ground and northward
toward the Jumbo, so that if the ledge
now being developed by the Nevada
Eastern fails to make good at this
point, there is a chance for pay ore

FARM VALUES TRIMMED.
Figures Sent to Executive Council
Show Startling Facts-WiII Re-
suit in Boosting Assessments.

Des Moines, July 10.-Reports from
ninety-six of the ninety-nine counties
in Iowa show that farm land is being
assessed at just IS per cent Of its sale
value, according to figures complied
yesterday by Secretary A. H. Davidson
OF the executive council.
County auditors in each county were
asked to choose about thirty typical
tracts and report to the council the
purchase price at the last transfer and
the assessors valuation Of the same
tracts These have been received
fran all but three counties, and they
clearly show that Iowa assessors are
trimming the values to hitherto I'M
heard of extent.
The showing made by the reports
probably will result in boosting Of
the assessments in nearly every coun-
ty when the executive council meets
to equalize county assessment roles.
Three years ago when similar reports
we're called for they showed that farm
land was being assessed at so per
cent of its actual value.

Retail Dealers in Campaign for Roads
Sioux City, July 12.-The Retail Mer-

ed stand in the advocacy Of better
roads for this section. 1t was the
unanimous opinion that the condition
of the roads interferes seriously with
the business of the city and that with
improved roads the number of out OF

ing the summer season.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, The board of supervisors
and city council are making efforts to
improve the roads leading into Sioux
City, which is pleasing movement to
this association, and
Whereas, we are anxious to assist in
any reasonable manner such an effort
believing that good roads leading into
Sioux City would be Of great value tc

Resolved, That we approve of such
efforts and ask that the board OF
supervisors and the city council take
aggressive measures to improve pres
ent conditions.
