The Gold Circle mining district IS
located about 80 miles northwest OF
Golconda and the same distance north
cast of Battle Mountain, in Elko coun-
ty. Geologically the formation is a
series of quartz porphyry dykes IN
places covered over by andesitic flows.
The first strike in the district was
made in September, 1907, by Rich BAN
berger, on what is known as the "Bam-
berger" since called the Midas Coll
Mining company, but prior to this, con
siderable prospecting had been done.
The discovery of rich gold bearing rock
in place created a big stir throughout
the mining sections and attracted many
prospectors to the district, who located
a mineralized area of close onto 30
square miles. The discoveries in many
places of gold quartz in place through
out the district, caused the boom of
March, 1905, at which time there were
over 5000 people in the camp.
Since this date the camp has had 4
steady and healthy growth. Develop
ment was started in April on several
locations, principally on the Co.'S
Crown, st. Paul, Rex, Midas, Casters
Star and others.
Many Leases Let
Numerous leases were let on the Goid
Crown, the company reserving a NUN
Der of blocks. Shafts were sunk and
tunnels run on the vein, opening the
same up for a length of 800 feet. Good
milling values, with occasional ganges
and stringers of high grade were en-
countered. The company shaft reachcl
a depth of 200 feet, when the shaft was
temporarily abandoned, all in milling
ore. A 900-foot drift tunnel was thel
started to undercut this shaft. At the
present writing this tunnel has ad
vanced 512 feet. This tunnel is en-
tirely in milling values and at interme
date points crosscuts show from IL to
SO feet of ore, which on the scale that
this property is being handled, will
yield a profit.
This property is Differed and con
trolled by Messrs. Nixon e. Wingield.
Messrs. Ellis, Dixon, Snyder and Loose
of Salt Lake.
The st. Paul on the surface, showed
considerable high grade which induced
Messrs. l.. d. Gordon of Round Noun.

property is now $50 feet deep with
levels at so feet and $50 feet. The
levels are driven on ore one foot wide
averaging $105 associated with a
second-class ore that will mill. A ship
ment of high grade ore from this prop
erty has been made.
Good Milling Ore
The Midas, as the original discovery
of the camp, has a shaft on a gool
grade of milling ore. About $4,000
worth of picture rock vas carried away
in specimens from this discovery. Con-
tentions delayed proper development af
this property which now are in a fair
way of being adjusted and thus reas-

the Golden Chariot, the rich demon
STATIONS On the Noble Leasing and Min.
ing company on the Grizzly and Hill
side groups, the Elderkin- Gebhart-Jur-
gems lease on the Colorado Grandes, the
Avery-Jones lease ON the Sleeping
Beauty, the Ray-Beekman lease on the
Lone Rock and others.
The richest and most recent sensa-
tional showings in the district are on
the Queen and Esmeralda groups.
Rich Strike Made
The owners of the Queen by incessant
prospecting have been well rewarded
by the great find on the Great Western
claim. One thousand five hundred dol.
lars worth of dust obtained by hand
rocker process was sold at the mine AMI
two shipments OF ore which have netted
$1,000 have been made. This produe-
tion Mas made by the three owners,
Storey, Reeves 4 Hager in a period of
eight weeks. The ore is still in the
breast of the tunnel. Numerous ~leasers,
towit, the Welp- Warren Mattheys lease,
the two Yaden- Schenck leases, the Bach.
man lease, the Mortimer Nelson lease
are operating on the Queen group and
each has fine, encouraging values.
On the Esmeralda a continuous string
of leasers are operating for a stretch Of
2,100 feet, namely, the Boyle Weston
McNetton-Ryan lease, who have made
three carload shipments of ore return-
ing an average value of 5000 per ton,
with about 500 tons of milling ore on
the dump that will average $25 per
ton. Both classes of ore were ex-
tracted from a 90-foot drift tunnel on
the Esmeralda lead and by about 20
feet of Stopping. The face, now at the
end line of the lease, is in the same
character of ore, but this is ON a re-
served block. The owners are opening
up this block and have cut the same
ore by tunnel at go feet additional
depth. The Hetey-Riddle lease, the
Burns-D onney- Charter lease, the Yaden-
Schenck lease have all cut the Esmer-
aida lead and as an evidence of the cor
tinuity of this remarkable ore line, have
both milling ore on the dump and ore
sacked ready for shipment.
In addition to these particular enum-
erations, there are numerous showings
through prospecting work that show
fair milling grades of ore.

LAKE TAHOE'S CHARMS
FORBIDDEN IN NEVADA

With the completion of the repair
of the old incline road to Lake Ia
hoe and the nearing of the time
when that route will be followed to
the resort in the mountains, Washoe
county residents are again forcibly
reminded that were it not for the
unprogressive policy adopted by the
representatives of the Hobart estate,
great part of the lakes beauty
might be enjoyed in Washoe county.
Lake Tahoe, as is known, has a
corner of the beautiful shore line
in Washoe county. There is as pret-
ty scenery on the Nevada side as
on that of California, but the tour
lists and sightseers generally stay on
the California side, because the
lands in Washoe county are for the
most part held by the trustees of
the Hobart estate.
Conspicuously posted around the
lake in Washoe county, in plain
view of those who may use the in
cline road to go to Tahoe, are num-
erous signs mo Camping Here, y
and thus the virgin wilderness re-
mains forbidden to those who would
make it a scene of as much revelry
and life as that on the farther side
of the lake.-Reno Journal.

SHARP ADVANCE IN WHEAT,
 FLOUR MARKED UP
Promise of Repetition of Recent Deal
 in May Option.

Chicago, July Wheat for July delivery advanced seven cents today to $1.27 a. bushal, during a stormy ses- sion on the board of trade. establish ing new high record for the season and giving promise of a. repetition of the recent "deal'' headed by James A Pattenl in May option.
 The Immediate cause of the buying furry was an additional rainfall last night in Kansas and Missouri, where the new crop of wheat is now har- vesting or. is awaiting the thresher and despatches from other sections telling of damage to the new crop by excessive rains. Tn addition the off, cipal wheat growing states predicted thunder storms.
 A large sleeping" short interest has existed for some time in the July op- tion, and the action of the market to- day indicated that many of these trad CTS had become alarmed at crop re- ports.
 When shorts went to Mr. Patten early in the day, with offers of set clement, it is said they were told to buy the grain in the pit. The attempt to carry out this line of action was the cause of the seven cent advance. - Predictions were freely made that $1.50 would be reached before the end of the month The market closed al almost the top. Final quotatiOns on July were recorded at SIPS 5-8@3-4.
 As a result of thesharp advance in wheat, flour was marked up 10 to 20 cents for the best descriptions of old wheat variety, while new wheat flour was advanced ten cents a barrel.

NOT REVISING TARIFF UPWARD.
Members of Senate Finance Commit tee Deny Reports.

Washington, July 14.-Turning upon critics who have charged that they are revising the tariff upward, mem berS of the senate finance committee denied today that such is the case A statement was prepared by the com mitteeas experts and was given out to- night by Senator Shoot.
 Commenting upon statements made yesterday and today by Senator La Toilette that the senate bill is 5-65 per cent. above the Dingley law. based upon the in1portafions for 1907, Sen ator Shoot said that it all depended on methods of computation.
 { It is pointed out that by eliminating the increases made by the senate on articles recognized purely as luxuries, the ad valorem average under the sem ate bill would be less than 40.01 per cent. This is less than amy tariff bill in, the last twenty years. except in 1896, when the Wilson bill was in op- eration. In that year the ad valorem average, was declared to be 39.95 per cent.
 The ad valorem average of the bill as passed by the senate on all articles of necessity on the dutialble and free lists is given as 15.49 per cent. It is stated that practically all of the sem ate Increases are on luxuries and that the decreases are upon necessities.
