THIS CAMP IS
WIDELY HELD
IN BIG ESTEEM
TRAVELLING MAN TELLS OF
MUCH INTEREST IN CALIFOR.
NIA-MASON VALLEY RAIL-
ROAD WILL BE GREAT BOON.

E. l.. Houchins of the White Com.
pany of Reno arrived last night
after a trip through northern Cali.
fornia and southern Nevada. Ely
Mr.. Houchins. says, is the most talk
ed of district in the state both with.
in the borders of Nevada and
through California. He was much
surprised to learn of the knowl-
edge of the district which seemed
SO general in the sister state. He
also brought the news That the
railroad between Wabuska and
Mason would in all probability be
completed by the middle of next
month. This is the road of which
there has been so much mention
for the past few weeks. In addition
to the road the much talked of
smelter is to be built for a GER
tainty.
with regard to the road" said
Mr.. Houchins, 81 got my infOrma-
tion from G. M. Fraser, s%uperinten-
dent of the Nevada Copper Belt
railroad as to its being completed by
the 18th of January. The grading
has been completed, the ties and
rails laid for nine miles, and the
engines and rolling stocks are on the
ground. The road would have
been finished this year were it not
for the inability of the lumber
company to furnish the ties.
Some very wealthy farmers of
the Smith Valley country, west of
Mason Valley, have offered a heavy
bonus to the builders of the road
to extend it SO miles into their dis
trict and surveyors have been
through Mason pass which will
enable the road to drain a rich
agricultural country, and to reach
it on a two per cent grade. With
these plans in operation, the greatest
sort of an impetus will be given
to mining in that section.
I'm addition several eastern
syndicates are forming colonization
schemes, and for the purpose of IT.
rigation, State Engineer Nicholas
says that the greatest amount of
water can be made available by the
construction of a dam across Wal

gray, while the tale and serpentine
rocks are greenish, and have a soapy
feel to their powder. IT the country
is comparatively fat in the i'm
mediate vicinity of those rocks, the
surface soil will be colored gray or
reddish brown by iron oxide and be
mixed with sharp quartz which will
cut the shoe soles, also the gravel
from the brooks and ~depressions
will furnish black SAINT and gold on
panning.
Aqueo igneous rocks that were
shattered by earth movements n
afterwards had their crevices CEN
mented by quartz solutions while low
grade, as a rule have the gold more
uniformly distributed over a large
area. Frequently such magmas
have sulphide, telluride and fluoride
metal minerals as a component part
of their mass, in which case the min
erals are said to be accessory" and
frequently have gold associated with
them. In some cases these rocks
may be worked for gold, but not
usually; however, as they disinte-
CRATE with comparative ease, solu-
tons from them may form rich gold
deposits. 80
1t is a good plan for the prospec-
tor who discovers minerals in this
class of rock, to inspect the contact
they make with other rocks, partic-
ularly with limestone or the mag
nesian rocks tale, OF soapstone and
serpentine. AS a rule the whitish
and grayish coarse grained rocks are
the magmas carrying the gold, while
the contact rocks in which the free
gold is likely to be found are green
ish, blue drab, purple, white carbon
ates, blue-black states, and any col
ored sandstone. The latter rocks
have the gold in crevices, veins and
pockets.
In the east, chlorides and mica
schists were crumpled by earth
movements, and between the folds of
the leves quartz solutions carrying
metal minerals were injected and
hardened. The intercalated quartz
carries gold. Somewhat similar for
nations are found in California and
South Dakota where, instead of
schists, the rocks approximate slate.
Gold is frequently found with other
metal minerals, but IL in subordinate
value it is considered a ~by-product,
thus the silver-lead and copper smelt-
ers always produce some gold.

GR|FF|THS IS

TELLS SALT LAKE OF DEVELOP
MENT WORK AND RESULTS TO
DATE-sAYs THEY MEAN A
MINE-DIRECT SMELLING ORE.
The Salt Lake Tribune has the
foIlouinO o..

The Salt Lake Tribune has the
following:
E. w. Grifhths, general manager
of the Ely Centennial Copper com
pany, who is in the city for a few
days, reports excellent progress be-
ing made with development work,
the new tunnel, which was started
November 10, having been driven
1877 feet. Conditions are as flatter-
ing as ever, he AYERS, and he is
as confident that development is
all that is required to make q
mine in Centennial ground. The
tunnel which is prosecuting the
formation, has gone through oc-
casional stringers of ore, while the
being sunk at an elevation 200 feet
below that of the old shaft, is al
ready in good ore, at the depth OF
only fourteen feet.
Prosperity of the camp" said
Mr.. Grifiiths, lis increasing at a
lively pace. Interest in the mines
which are situated in the limestone
formation has increased many
fold since the sulphide ore was en-
countered below the 1,000-foot level
in the Boston Ely. That develop
ment is taken as conclusive evidence
that great mines r to be made in
the limestone; that Ely is not only
the greatest low-grade copper camp,
but it is to rival Bisbee and Bing-
ham for mines producing direct
smelling ore.
"Ely's %poulation is advancing at a
rapid rate. Every train brings in
new people to share the camps pros
perity by engaging either in mining
or trade. Stocks of Ely companies
are in great demand In the camp.
While there is none of the wild
speculation which has character
lied many mining booms, everyone
appears anxious to take on all of
the good securities he can con-
veniently carry, and Judgment is
exercised in the choice of Sc
curities."

McCLOUD, Cal, May 29.-Seven hun
dred italian laborers, employed here by
the McCloud river lumber company,

About 200 of them attempted yesterday
to take possession of the company's
train going to the woods near Bartle.
Sheriff Howard, with 25 deputies,
warned the strikers not to interfere
with the train, which was carrying the
mail. Thereupon they bought tickets,
and the company coupled on extra cars
and carried them as passengers. On
reaching the woods the strikers in

DEL MONTE BECOMES
CONVENTION RESORT
Native Daughters Next to Jour-
ney to Popular Place

DEL MONTE, May 2s-Fhat Del
Monte has come to be regarded as
most desirable convention resort is at
tested by the fact that it will in a few
days entertain it's third big gathering
of the season. The state federation of
Womens clubs spent an enjoyable
week here during the earlier part of
the month, and the bankers conven-
tfon has just adjourned after an inter-
esting two days session. Reservations
are already being made for the grand
parlor of the Native Daughters of the
Golden West.
The Native Daughters will open
their convention here June ., and will
spend four days amid the attractive
surroundings The hotel has arranged
to grant special rates, and as q result
an unusually large number of dele
gates and their friends will attend.
Miss Laura j. Frakes, the grand sec
retary of the order, has stated that
from all indications the session will be
a banner event. A special train will
run from San Francisco June Z, and
will bring the delegates here in time
for dinner on that day. Miss Frakes is
sending out notices requesting all who
can to make the trip on this train. She
is also urging the delegates to make
early reservations at the hotel.
With three large conventions this
early in the season, Del Monte bids fair
to break all its previous records for the
number who find entertainment within
it's doors.

''Ony your gray hairs protect you.

Judge Murasky's court yesterday. cul-
minating a scene of bitter recrimina-

Four days ago Judge Murasky signed
judgment in favor of Kinley for $685.,
and Towne. representing the defendant
corporation. appeared in court yester-
day and asked that the judgment be
set aside. He stated in the course OF
his argument that before the fire judg-
ment was entered in favor of the
plaintiff for 81 damages.

John H. Dickenson. who was then
attorney in the case, told me 1t was

moment and then told him that only
his gray hairs protected him, adding,
And gray hairs are not always en-
titled to respect" An admonition from
the bench prevented farther exchanges
at this stage.
Towne declared that as attorney for
the defendant he had not been given
notice of Kinley's intention to apply
for the judgment. He also claimed
that the record had not been restored
JUDGMENT SET ASIDE
Notwithstanding your extreme cour-
tesy, If you will condescend to come
to my office 1 will allow you to read
all the exhibits in the case" said Kin
ley to Towne with studied sarcasm.
These sarcastic illusions are very
interesting-very," answered the young
lawyer, but the utmost courtesy has
been shown by me-"
Your letter to me. shows that you
eoncurred in the restoration of the
record" said Kinley.
TT shows nothing of the kind
Towne retorted.
"I don't want to have a controversy
with you here" Kinley asserted, but
you can have it outside court or any
where you please"
Again the court was forced to inter
fere. Finally Judge Murasl1 set aside
the Judgment for $9,935. stating that
he had signed it under a misappre-
hension of the facts. The case was
set for trial next Thursday.
