Another interesting and timely prop
~osition that has been decided upon by
Mr.. Davis, and one which could well
be followed by every other big mining
company in the state that will be
re presented by an exhibit, will be a
brief epitome of the history of the
property from the date of its discovery
to the present time, giving the amour.

the method of treatment, the average
values, the total production and the
dividends paid. Other information of
an associated character will be includ-
ed Herewith. This will be printed in
pamphlet form, for general distribution
and enlightenment.
Mr.. Davis suggests that other COM
panies throughout the state aid in dis
seminating comprehensive knowledge
OF their mines and districts, for the
general good of the state, by adopting
a similar plan, and at some convenient
time IN the future, while the interest
caused by the Mining Congress is still
very much alive, make such contribn-
tons as may be necessary tc compile
and print the entire data in one pampn-
let, for distribution where it may be
OF good use in spreading information
or attracting further investment in the
mines of Nevada. The trouble and
expense to any one company would not
be great, and the lasting benefit to the
state would be incalculable.
The News trusts that the suggestion
VIII be generally adopted, and made
a statewide movement.

ROUND MT. co. EXHIBIT
WILL BE HIGH CLASS

Among the exhibits that are being
prepared for the Mining Congress
many of which will lie rich and rare,
there are few if any that will out
shine that of the Round Mountain
Mining company. The cabinet of rich
ore that now graces the office Of the
company in Goldfeld will he loaned by
the Round Mountain management for
the cdiication of the visitors to the
Mining Congress, and it will include
many chunks of ore that are from one
fourth to almost solid gold. In addi-
ton to this will be a fine exhibit of
ores representing the general run OF
The mine, among which will be a 100
pound chunk from the recent strike on
the 700-foot level, which has just been
brought into Goldfeld. With this will
be other average specimens, and also
a sack or two of crushed ore taken
from the belt conveyor just before the
ore goes into the bins of the mill. This
will be available for panning by those
who desire to do 50.
The Sunnyside vein has just been
opened at the 790-foot level, and shows
an immense ore body. Samples Of this
will be included in the exhibit.

result being as high as $50, 500 or so

president and general manager of the
company, also proposes to show som.
OF these paintings, which will give a
better evidence of the richness of the
ore than would an uncrushed chunk, as

REGAIN LEASE AT SEVEN
TROUGHs rs TO RESUME

The Regain lease on the Mazuma Hills
estate at Seven Troughs, which hal
been closed down for the past foul
months, is to resume operations. The
cause of the lease closing down was
difficulties with past arrangements ano
the stockholders. This lease has beer

O'FARRELL TRIES
SUICIDE IN Los ANGELES

NJ. J.. csMicky'D O'Farrell, a for
mer Goldfeld mining operator and pro-
moter, at one time associated with
the firm of Patrick, Elliott 4 Camp,
and later one of the successors thereof,
shot and seriously wounded himself in
Los Angeles Wednesday night IN an
attempt at suicide, and it is reported
that he has slight chance to recover.
The shooting followed a quarrel with
his wife earlier in the day.
o,Farren was indicted a short time
ago at Carson City by the federal au-
thorities for alleged misuse of the
mails in some of his mining promo
tons, and he mas been in other finan-
cial troubles ON account Of uttering
worthless checks since his indictment.
His indictment and failure to recoup
his fortunes since he failed in bust
ness here in r906 brought a climax to
his de dependency and caused his attempt
to end his life.
O'Farrell came to Goldfield In 1908,
and in January, 1906, took a position
with the firm of Patrick, Elliott &
Camp. whom he and Richardson bought
out some time later. They conducted
the business for about four months,
hut finally failed. In 1905 he went to
Southern California, but has not been
successful in retrieving his fortunes.
His last visit to Goldfeld was after be-
ing indicted at Carson City. While
eere he cashed a check for $3.50 at
the Northern saloon and was arrestt d
next day in Carson City, charged with
issuing a worthless check. He return
cd and settled the matter, and has
since been at his home in Los Angeles

FEDERAL DEAL IS
CLOSELY WATCHED
Believed That Eastern Visit Of
Craig VIII Bring
Results.
NEW SHELTER IS
POSSIBLE OUTCOME
Water Rights on HeuSSer Ranch
Will Be a Valuable
Acquisition.

Word has been received in Ely that
good progress is being made IN the deal
by which the plans TO finance the Fed
cral Ely Copper company IN such
manner that the company may go
ahead with their extensive plans for
the development of the property, and
the possible construction of a smelter
on the Heusser ranch in Steptoe val
ley.
Mine Activity.
1t is confidently expected that the
plans of President Craig will have been
consummated before the end of this
year, and that the opening of 1910 will
bring definite announcements of the
company's policy of expansion and de-
velopment. Activity in the property

fuses TO be killed, and continues to
gain strength While Salt Lake min
nothing definite upon which to base
their belief that this absorption will
be effected, they insist that such a
deal is now under way in the East.
Valuable Water Right.
1t is pointed out that the immensely
valuable water rights and smelter site
owned by the Federal Ely in the old
Heusser ranch which that company took
over several years ago, will be neces-
sary factors in the decision of the
Cole-Ryan interests, to construct the
big smelter TO handle the ores Of in
dependent operatives in this district.
The developments in the Federal Ely
business affairs will be watched with
closest interest by the entire district,

innate results of President Craig s

ACTIVITY PREVAILS
IN BEAVER COUNTY
Orphan Boy Looks Encouraging
in Tunnel Towards Red
Warrior.

The recent discoveries of ore bodies,
bordering on the sensational, reported
IN the Red Warrior property in Beaver
county, have resulted in general re-
vival of interest in the development
Of other promising prospects in the
Star district, and encouraging results
arc being obtained. One of the best
looking of the smaller properties at
Beaver, it is said, is tho Orphan Boy,
and recently fssure vein was broken
into during the work which shows in
dlcatlons of developing into a big ore
body.
Work in Tunnel.
Concerning recent developments the
Beaver News says that for some weeks
past work has been prosecuted in the
new tunnel being driven toward the
Red Warrior holdings, which is now
IN about 300 feet. 1t was at this point
that the ore, which is good silver
lead VEN, was broken into, AS yet
no assay returns have been received,
but 1T is believed that the samples will
show good values. The Orphan Boy
consists of eleven claims and end lines

ties.
There is over 1900 feet of under
ground work on this property and small
deposits of good ore have been found
in several places. This new ore vein
will be drifted on and fully developed
when it is expected that the Orphan
Boy will open the phenomenal ore body

CENTRAL RESPONDING
TO DEVELOPMENT
Big Shaft on Clipper Claim Is
Cutting Through Good
Grade Ore.

Assay returns on the iron and copper
content of the carload of orc recently
shipped to the local smelters from the
Ely Central property show that the
shipment carried % per cent iron and
Z per cent copper. according to state
ment made to the Ely Expositor by
Manager Ed Hoffman. Mr. Hoffman
is also authority for the statement that
the new shaft which was recently COM
menced on the Clipper claim, three
compartment hole, is now down a dis
tance of thirty feet, and for the last
five feet the work has been carried on
through ore of good grade. The ore
is said to be of the character of that
opened up in the incline shaft, which
was sunk for sixty-fve feet, near the
present location Of the Clipper shaft,
and which was used to demonstrate the
ground in small way before the big
shaft was started.
Make Good Progress.
The values in the Clipper shaft Mr.
Hoffman says, will range from 10 per
cent to 40 per cent in copper with
small values in gold and silver.
Good progress is being made in the
Eureka shaft adjoining the pit of the
Nevada Consolidated Copper company,
This shaft is now down to $50 feet, and
is all in the pink rhyolite that lies
Immediately above the porhyritie ore
beds that are being scooped up by
steam shovels in the nearby pit.
In the pit, this pink rhyolite is from
thirty to fifty feet in thickness. Man"
ager Hoffman believes that within the
next thirty or sixty days at the latest,
the Eureka shaft will all be in ore.
Progress is being made at the rate of
about three feet a day.

PLANS FOR LONG
SNAKE CREEK TUNNEL

Manager George Lambourne of the
Daly-J udge property reports that every
thing Is running along in good shape at
the company's plants in Park City. Since
mining has been started on the newly
developed ore bodies on the 1900 level,
the output OF crude ore has been some
what increased though Mr., Lambourne
states that Tor the past several days the
canyon roads. owing to heavy rains, have
been in almost impossible condition.
The details for the driving of the Snake
Creek-Daly-Judge tunnel are now assum-
Ing definite shape. and in the near future
bids will be received and contracts let
for the construction work. Mr.. Lam
bourne has great faith in the future Of
the Park City district, and is of the opin-
ion that conditions up there are improv-
ing and that they Will continue TO i'm

OHIO COMPANY MILL
GIVES SATISFACTION
Plant Running Smoothly and
Big Tonnage Being Treated
Daily.

Manager Colin Mcintosh of the Ohio
Copper property spent Sunday in an
inspection Of the company's new mill
ing plant, and Monday expressed him
self as being very well pleased with
the manner in which the concentrator
is running. The first unit of the mill,
after having been given thorough
tryout, is now grinding away steadily
on $50 tons of ore every twenty-four
hours, and though as yet no figures
can be given as TO the value recoverles,
the management is not worrying in the
least on that point. The orc being
treated now is that taken from near
the surface in the mine, and in its
drop of over 1000 feet through the
chutes to the tunnel level, it is broken
up into small sizes, and thus the process
of concentration is simphfed and a
tonnage above the normal capacity of
the section of the mill now in oper-
alton is being treated. About 1000 tons
of ore is being taken through the Mas
cote tunnel daily.
Mine Looks Good
Mr.. Mcintosh is well pleased also
with the condition of the mine, and
states that the recent Developments on
the Elvlna veins give assurance Of n
practically new mine in the company IS
ground. The ore body on the Elvina
is now four feet wide and the product
shows assay values of $50 IN gold,
per cent copper, 26,2 per cent IRON
and 6 of an ounce silver. By raising
about 200 feet a connection can be
made with the Mascotte tunnel, so
that the newly developed deposit can
be handled as economically and con-
veniently as the other ores of the mine.
The second unit Of the mill will be
Dut In commission in abouE two weeks
and as soon as practicable the entire
plant will be in operation. Mr.. Nc
fntosh feels Justly proud of the late
accomplishments OF his company and
believes that a very bright future is
now assured
