Chief of the Hills Lease
Strikes So n Pan HOrf1i1gS

q EARCHLIGHT, April All sorts
of sensational reports have been
~ received this week from the Crit
tenden & Delameter lease of the Chief
of the Hills. One party vouched for SO
pan Mornings, while countless stories
have been going the rounds of gold ga
lore.
Undoubtedly most of these reports
have to do with exceptional pieces,
rather than the average, which of it
self should satisfy the most ardent.
Actual conditions are substantially as
follows:
For fully 40 feet four-inch streak
has been opened up which it is est1-
mated will crowd 5000 sack. AS for
hornings-well, $4,000 free gold ore in
the pan, given an eye assay. permits
of wide range of results.
To gain depth on this remarkable
showing the leasers have now gone
down the hill and are continuing in an
old tunnel, which should first tap the
ore at a depth of rs or 80 feet. AS the
tunnel is continued additional depth
viii be gained rapidly. over the hill
from the portal of the tunnel the vein
measures four feet on the surface, but
does not run so high in values,
Naturally the success of the Chief of
the Hills is attracting renewed interest

Expect to Uncover Richest
Ore on Combination Ground

Three feet of carbonate ore which
will run clear across SIS to the ton have
been opened by Joe Monotti, who has a
group of claims seven and one-half
miles northwest of Goldfield, on the
old Montezuma road. The strike came
as a distinct surprise, and two prospec-
tive leasers left the city yesterday for
the Monotti property, intent upon Sc
curing ground.
s, r. Thompson, who has charge of
work on claims adjoining the Monotti
property and is operating in the in
terest of Chicago parties, came into
town highly elated over the find. He
declares that the ore Is of the same
character as that as Montezuma, which
was worked back in 1861. The claims
are half mile west of Brick Yard
Springs. Tom Murphy, AL ID. Myers
and e. r. Collins are also interested in
claims in that district.
A shipment of forty-five tons of ore
from Mrs. Cottrelrs lease at Hornsilver
was received at the Nevada Goldfield
reduction works last week. 1t is said
that this rock will net the owners not
far from SIS ton. The Cottrell prop
erty has been shipping for about Ave
months, and the forty-five tons just
received constitute the weekly oonsign-
ment. Altogether the mine has sent
out not far from 1000 tons. There is
said to be in evidence on the Cottrell
ground 14-foot ledge of which three
feet will run clear across not far from
$50 to the ton in gold

HOLDFIELD, April Alt is expected
QT that from the ground of the
VI Moore, Stoneham & Griffith lease
on Combination ground some of the
richest ore yet found in that section of
the district will be uncovered. Last
week in their lowest level a new ore
shoot was developed from the 42O-foot
level. which carries values higher than
ANYTHING so far discovered on Florence
ground outside of the strike recently
made in the shaft of the Florence,
which ran in the vicinity of $1,000 a ton
across twelve inches
In the strike reported on Moore
ground it appears that considerable
ore body. has been encountered which
will average close to 500 ton. Ono
of the stockholders in the company
says there is every reason to believe
that the new find will last and the
values be much greater than the esti-
mated sum a ton all the way through
the ledge which has been cut. 1t is
not known by those interested just how
big this new ledge is, nor what 1t may
be called, since it is an entirely new
field, coming from a source which was
wholly unexpected and in ground which
which was not thought to carry values
of any kind, For some weeks this
ground has been watched very closely
with the hope that the recent discovery
made there would turn out good, but
up to date little has come from the
lease except good prospects.

BULLFRoG PIONEER TAKES
OUT 100000 IN A MONTH

RHYOLITE, April 4-Despite disad
vantages, the limited capacity of a
small hoist and the necessity for retim-
bering the shaft whi1e extraction is in
progress, the Bullfrog Pioneer Mining
and Leasing company has got into full
swing, steadily shipping forty tons
daily, which averages 500 ton, MAX
ing a production of considerably over
100000 month. This is the work of
eight men only, cutting out ore in two
levels, four men abreast in each stope.
This is a mining feat seldom achieved,
and of which any company could be
proud.
/, Yet this is but the beginning of what
is planned. Another ten days will have
completed the large hoist and reno
waited shaft. Then 100 tons daily-3000
tons monthly-will be the output of
shipping ore, and it is believed that the
average of 800 a ton will be main
tanned, while nearly an equal quantity
of high grade milling ore will be re-
served at the mine. AS stated by the
officials of the company twenty-five
feet of ore averaging 500 ton and an
additional fifteen feet Of milling grade
will easily produce the above result,
This condition has been maintained
for two weeks past, while the president
of the company, after examining the
mine last week, says that the ore areas
are bigger and better than ever.

realize that this is the place where
great things are possible. great
boom is headed this way which moth
ing can stop. The great strike is only
the first of series that will follow.
The rush is on today. and men are
going into the camp from every di-
rection, some on foot, packing their
grub; others with burros loaded down
with tools and provisions, and wagons
loaded with outfits are coming from
all directions.
Tents are strung out up the gulch
from the new town of Winchester to
the Anaconda property, two miles
north. Burros can be heard from
every direction, and the camp fires can
be seen up and down the gulch for
miles, which reminds one of the old
days of '49.
Work on the new town site at Win
chester is going forward and lots are
selling rapidly. Thirty We're sold yes
terday and several more today. Stores
and lodging houses will be built to ae-
commodate the people who are COM
ing into the new camp. Vicksburg and
Winchester need no boomers nor hot
air. The rich ore in the hills surround
ing them speaks volumes for them.

BLACK WARRIOR PRESIDENT
FILES SUIT AGAINST BOARD

GLOBE, Ariz., April Asking for
a receiver to take charge of the af-
fairs of the company, and for an in
junction to prevent the shipment OF
ores pending a settlement of the bust
ness, James A. Flemming, president of
the Black Warrior Copper company,
has filed a suit in which he alleges
that the board of directors formed
conspiracy and ousted him from the
management of the company's affairs.
He also alleges that the directors con-
spired to sell the mine for a nominal
sum when it was really worth $2,O00,000
and thus defraud him of his interest
and get control themselves. The case
promises to be one of the most bitter
ly fought suits ever tried in the courts
here.

PLANS TO CONNECT TRAIN
WITH RAILROAD IN TEXAS

MARATHON, Tex. Apri 4.-Sur-
veyors are in the field on the proposed
new road from Marathon to Boquillos,
where the big cable will bring the ore
from the mines in Mexico across the
Rio Grande to the United States. 1t
will be hauled here a distance of about
ninety miles by gasoline traction en-
gines drawing string of trail wagons.
While blasting out a hole for tele-
phone poles at Marathon the workmen
struck a ledge of rock that may prove
valuable. The rock looks to be feldspar
and mica.
The oil people are having some
trouble erecting their derrick, as local
workmen are not familiar with such
large structures.
1t is reported that there is about a
20-inch vein of coal near the oil field,
but the feeling of certainty of getting
the oil has stopped all prospecting for
coal

Time Saving Information for

The various gold exoitements in
ed as favorably as some of those who
rushed to the region hoped it would,
but it again points to the fact, already
well known to many, that the arid
parts of the west still conceal great
deposits of gold that may be profitably
worked. Especially is this believed to
be true of the Nevada-California re-
gion, where the natural conditions con-
Spire to prevent as careful prospecting
as has been carried on in more favored
localities. For this reason a descrip-
ton of southern Nevada and eastern
California published some time ago by
the United States geological survey as
bulletin 30S, will for years to come be
valuable to those who desire to explore
this region, for it may save them from
wasting time and money in examining
places where the nature of the rocks
shows decisively to the trained geolo-
gist that no gold can exist.
The region considered is a typical
portion of the great basin. 1t is arid,
with a rainfall of less than 20 inches
a year. None of it's streams flow to the
ocean, and in this it differs from all
other provinces of the United States.
The scenery, were it not for the gro
tesque form and bizarre coloring of
many of the mountains and hills,
would be depressingly dreary
The mountain ranges for the most
part trend north and south and are
Enthusiastically rugged and bare, al
though the erests of some of the higher
ranges are covered by a scant growth
of timber. Associated with the ranges
are low hills and mesas,s many of which
also have a north-south elongation.
Between the mountains and hills are
broad, gently sloping, inclosed valleys,
the lowest portions of most of which
are occupied by lakes or by "playas,"
depressions which after heavy rains
are covered by thin sheet of water.
The bulletin discusses most of Esme-
ralda and Nye counties, Nevada, and
Inyo county, California. 1t describes

HUBBARD LEASE SHIPS
THREE CARLOADS OF ORE

GOLDFIELD, April 4.-Three car
loads of ore averaging forty tons each,

Rosenthal has received letter from
John H. Miller, principal owner of the
bonanza lease, in which he says that

day is not without the realm of prob
ability. On March % the teams hauled
1900 sacks of ore, and this record was
equaled the following day. The daily
average for the past thirty days, says
Mr.. Miller. has been 1000 sacks. Four
teen big ore teams are now employed
steadily hauling ore. The drivers, how
ever, cannot keep up with the big OUT

Now Josephine Wilson belongs in the
states prison more than many a thief.
1t is not easy to see why she should
time after time be made an object of
special consideration. If the woman Is
insane she should be sent to an asy-
lum; if she isn't she should be re-
tired from general circulation under
the sentence that hangs over her. She
doesn't belong outside among pepole
who behave themselves. Her unre-
pentant presence is an insult to the
neighborhood she infests. She should
not be made an object of special Of
fetal leniency.
OF all the women who are unfor-
tunately and criminally in the Iowa
prisons few have deserved more Sc
verify than Josephine Wilson. 1t ap-
pears that none have received or are
likely to receive greater leniency.
Women who have promoted and prof
tied by the white slave traffic are
scarcely proper objects of special con-
sideration, especially when they defy
the laws and despise decency. Why has
Josephine been able to evoke it?
