JOHNNIE MINE
HAS TWO SHOOTS
OF GOLD QUARTZ
GETS ENCOURAGING REPORT
FROM FARISH
SEVENTH LEVEL SHOWS I'M
PRoVEMENT
Managing Director Mitchell Brings
Back Gold Brick Worth $4,000.
Company Gets Royalties
from Leasers

Col. William A. Parish, one of tine
bis mining engineers of the west, mas
returned from a visit with MS son,
w. A. Parish, jr., who is in charge OF
operations at the Johnnie mine, Nye
county, Nevada, and has maze re-
port to the directors which is OF par
ticular interest from the fact that the
Johnnie's official family which resiues
In Los Angeles, has had of late more
or less friction, resulting some time
ago in the resignation of Al Myers and
n A. Johnson from the directorate.
There are indications that this oreach
will be healed soon and the JOHNNIE
becime one OF the important produc-
ers of gold bullion, paying a steady
stream of dividends into the channels
of Los Angeles business.
In concluding his report Mr.. Farlsh
says: -...,,,
"In my opinion, it will take several
months of vigorous work and unusual
outlay to get the mine and mill in
condition to make steady and com
paratively uniform runs or monthly
cleauups, and as developments are
made and ore bodies exposed the
crushing capacity of the reduction
works should be increased to a tom
mage adequate to the amount of ore
being constantly placed in sight.
"When all the necessary improve
ments in the reduction plant have
been made and the ore bodies opened
the cost of operating the property, in
cluding the necessary development
work with a view of increasing the
reserves of the mine, should not eX-
ceed $3.50 per ton on crushing ca
pacity of $50 to 200 tons per day.
After the present ore bodies have
been placed in condition for econom-
ical extraction development work
should continue vigorously on the low
er levels and the main shaft should be
sunk to a farther depth of 300 or 400
feet, opening levels 100 feet apart as
heretofore.
''My conclusions are. after a very
thorough consideration of the geolog-
ical conditions surrounding the prop
erty. together with the occurrences of
the ore bodies, that a most valuable
property will be developed below the
present levels, or, in other words, that
if the mine is developed as stated
above and operated as a business
proposition, you will have perma-
nent and steady dividend payer COM
pairing favorably with other perma-
nent paying gold mines.
Mr. Parish finds that the vein, which
In the upper levels widens and con-
tracts, the ore occurring in bunChes
has formed on the seventh level into
two ore shoots, the one on the north
of the shaft, which has been devel-
oped for $50 feet, having an average
width of five feet. On the south the
second ore shoot is $50 feet long and
averages eight feet of ore of a COM
mercial grade which, he says, will
safely mill Sc per ton, and that in his
opinion it will run 81. As he eX-
presses the opinion that the cost Of
operating mine and MILL including the
necessary development work to keep
ore reserves ahead, should not exceed
$3.50 per ton, it will be seen that the
Johnnie has a bright future.

AS a result of the crusade three men
have been killed while resisting arrest
for high grading, two of them under
ground and the third in the mill OF
local custom plant, and several others
are serving or have served prison
terms. Despite the example II others
who have been detected, men continue
to steal the gold, in whatever FORM
whenever the opportunity affords, and
the detective bureau, adopted as an
expedient, has become a necessity:
There are evidences the old gang OF
high graders, the men who wore
harnesses under their clothing ana
stole by Wholesale, who were driven
out by the labor troubles two years
ago. are drifting back to camp to md
positions in the mines, and sooner or
later it is certain that some OF them
will become the victims of their own
cupidity, and some day, as they come
off shift, will find Sage awaiting
them in his automobile, with an in
vitation to take ride-a ride which
will end at the police station, which
they will leave only to enter the state
penal institution at Carson.

INFORMATION OF MINE
SHARES SOUGHT EASILY
FOUND THROUGH HERALD

Yesterday The Herald printed a request
for information concerning some old GER
tiacates of California mining stock which
are in the possession of resident of Al
hamhra. Yesterday afternoon, within IA
few hours after the paper reached Its
subscribers. the following reply was re-
ceived by mail;
Editor Herald-The stock OF which
your correspondent writes Is of mine in
Alpine county, owned in the cary SOS
by the George Washington Mining COM
pany. Of which j. Warren Clark, then on
Montgomery street. opposite the Russ
house. san Francisco was secretary. The
mine was supposed to be good, and its
stock was highly appreciated at that
period, but its working failed to pay,
and doubt if the company kept up its
assessment work or otherwise continued
its ownership of the property or its eN-
istence as a corporation. Mr. Clark, a
man of excellent personal character, did
uuch to promote the welfare of this and
other mines in the same district, and
both he and his family invested to the
extent of their means in it; but so far
as l know it was total loss. Mr. Clark
died in Gardena, this county, about
twelve years ago, and was inferred in the
Pasadena cemetery. shortly before his
death his private papers were stolen
from him, and so it is likely no further
information could be had in this direc-
ton; but as it appears one J. 5. Clapp
succeeded him as secretary of the COM
pany it is likely that all books and
papers pertaining thereto passed with
the secretaryship.

managing director of the Johnnie, has
returned from the property with the
bullion output for twenty-five days III
September, which was the mill run.
The bullion weighs thirty-seVen
mounds and is worth $9000 In addi-
ton to this revenue the company drew
down S400 in royalties.
The cleanup represents the average
mine run, no attempt having peen
made TO sort the ore or bring the feed
up to a certain fixed standard OF
values. All things considered, the re-
suit of September operations, while
not representing what the mill VIII be
capable of when in thorough order nor
fairly indicating what the property
may be expected to do with larger
plant, is satisfactory.
The eighty engine is now
being overhauled and provided with
new cylinders, and when this work is
completed the mill will be able to give
a good account of itself.

THREE JOURNALISTS ENGAGED

man was then overburdened with
wealth, and Kearns had been first a
miner and later foreman in one of the
Park City mines The two men were
far-sighted, and seeing the trend of the
ore channel along the rich contact,
they secured the ground that has since
brought them great wealth. Each is
as active in the affairs of the world
az though forced to hustle for a living.
Mr. Keith is not travelling with Mr..
Jackling in his private car-their
trails run in different directions, for
Mr.. Keith's paper is opposed to many
of Mr.. Jackling's friends in politics.
Mr.. Keith. however, is n stockholder
in one Of the JaclIling mines, the Ray
Consolidated.
All Are Journalists
BY a strange coincidence, each Of the
three men is or has Seen interested in
two of the big newspapers of Salt
Lake Mr.. Keith is a stockholder in
the Tribune, formerly Mr.. Lannon's or
gan, and Mr.. Jackling recently pur-
chased the Salt Lake Herald from SEN
ator Clarke and converted it into a Re-
publican sheet, much to the disgust
and anger of the stalwart Democrats
of the state.
Mr.. LannOn made a success Of the
Tribune by close application to the
business. "A man who conducts a
newspaper merely as one of many en-
terprises rarely makes a success of it,
said he yesterday, while in a reminis-
cent mood. 1.-The Tribune was sweet
heart wife and family to me. I lived
in the same building in which it was
published, and the roar of the presses
put me to sleep at night, or in the
morning to be correct. I cared not
how harshlv any man spoke about me
if only he had kind word for the
paper met him with a glad hand"
Mr.. Lannon acknowledges much of
the success of the Tribune is due ia
| his associate. Judge c. G. Goodwin
| editor of the paper, who was one Of the
crowd of brilliant men who wrote OF
the doings of the great men of the
| ComstOck. Although an older man
than Mr.. Lannon, the venerable Judge
and his trenchant pen are still busy
at the desk, though nowadays the
! journalist sits in a leather-covered
easy chair. pipe in mouth, and dictates
the beautiful sentences which his read
ers so much admire.
salt Lake is growing wonderfully
said Mr. Lannon, and five minute!
later Mr. Keith. in another part o.
the hotel, repeated his words. I'm the

Mr.. Jackling has gone down to f

MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.

Last week we mentioned the fact
that VIM. Plunket, an engineer on
the st. Paul road, was carrying a
black eye and other bruises as a re-
suit of a wreck which occurred at
Port Edwards on Wednesday, May u.
From later information we learn that
the wrecking of this train undoubted-
ly averted disaster and perhaps
saved many lives, as the next train
following was the southbound passen-
ger, leaving this city at 7:45 p. M.
The train was in charge Of conductor
John Linaham also well known in
the city. 1t was a special and was
running at the rate of twenty miles
an hour when the open switch was
struck. Just how the switch came
to be left open no one knows. After
the engine left the rails it struck a
water tank and was overturned and a
half dozen freight cars were piled in
an indiscriminate heap. Part of the
next day St. Paul trains ran over the
Central tracks from Port Edwards to
Grand Rapids.
If there had been no special run
ming that night it is quite likely that
the passenger train would have been
ditched and that there would have
been loss of life or at least many in
juries.

Horace Grout has SO far recovered
from the very serious operation which
was performed upon him in st. Mary's
Hospital, three weeks ago, that it has
been found possible to remove him to
his home, and the trip was made very
comfortably in hack last Thursday
afternoon. Since that time he has
been able to walk out each day and
on Sunday succeeded in making trip
around block besides walking short
distances. This shows an improve
ment that is very gratifying to his
relatives and friends. 1t will be neces-
sary for Mr.. Grout to remain quiet
and in touch with his peysician for
about six weeks until his return to
health is fully assured. After that he

VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY.

Papers were filed this FRIDAY after
noon in the United States district
court for Western Wisconsin Judge
Sanborn) at Lacrosse for the volun.
tary bankruptcy of Langley & Alder
son, the local log jobbers.
The liabilities of the company to
date are $4,000 in unsecured claims,
and the assets are fixed at $4,000 In
secured claims. The list of creditors
could not be obtained, but parties in
Merrill and quite number outside
concerns are in the number.
The reason ascribed for their finan-
cial depression is due to slackness of
business, being unable to carry out
their logging contracts, and the fact
that they were under heavy expense
all the time.
The referee for the bankrupted con-
cern has been named He is G.. L..
Baldwin, of Lacrosse.
