MILL TESTS ARE
ENCOURAGING

When Geo. j Brown accepted
the commission to 20 East and sell
"A certain amount of stock for the
Pine Nut Consolidated company,
he took extra precsution TO guard
tue future interest of friends who
may be induced to invest Their
money in the Pine Nut mine. He
accepted the commission with the
understanding that he was to
sample the nine, with the assist
anee of a thorough mining man,
and have mill test made at
Denver. Then il the returns were
up to expectations, he was to cen
tinue to New York.
Last Friday word WAS received
from him and while very brief,
gave the information that the mill
test was much better than was ex-
peeted and that he had left for
New York. The local people who
are interested in the proposition
will feel gratified to learn that all
which has been said about assays
from the property is proven by
this mill test to be "A fact.

plant this mine will certainly be-
come a producer.

Day Of Execution Has
Been Set For May
18th.

II Charley Kaiser, the Indian,
who murdered his .quaw in Gard
melville last January, realized the
words whish' were spoken to him
by Judge Langan last Wednesday
afternoon at Genoa whs he senten-
ced him to be hanged, he did not
show the slightest emotion and
appeared to be as unhearing as a
clay statue.
A large number of Indians were
present when their fellow tribes
men received his sentence and took
keen interest in the proceedings.
When Judge Langan ordered the
prisoner to stand up and receive
sentence he did 80 and not one
muscle of his face or body twitched
when the death sentence was pro-
nounced. With stolidity, SO
characteristic with his race, he
took the sentence without an out
ward sign of fear, but deep in his
black heart he knew that on the
Dist of May he would be swung
into eternity for committing one
of the most wanton crimes ever
done in the county.
The Judge ordered the sheriff to
keep the prisoner under strict
watch and within six or seven
dars from date of sentence to de-
liver him to the Warden of the
Nevada State prison to await the
day of his execution, Friday, May
21st between the hours of 8 a. m.
and 5 p. m.
When thi. Indian shall have
paid the penalty for his crime by
the sacrifice of his life, he will be
the first to meet such justice
through the due process of law in
this county.

EDITOR TAKES BRIDE

Wm. King, editor of the Carson
Weekly, last Monday, says the
News, joined the honorable order
OF benedicts and by the words of
the Rev. Hornaday became the
husband of Emma Miller, a former
resident of Nina.
The ceremony was performed at
the residence of the groom on King
street and was attended by only
few of the intimate friends and re-
latives of the contracting parties.
The contracting parties are well
known and are in receipt of uni
versal congratulations as they are
both extremely we'll liked. Mr..
King is the worthy editor of the
Carson Weekly and as such has
long been one of the prominent
citizens of Carson.

placed. 1t is known by the man
agement, from having actually
milled the ores that that the aver
age will not fall below $40 a ton
in free gold and bunch of speci-
men ore now and then would
bring the average away up. But,
treating 80 tons of $40 ore every
day would mean Sl5,000.00 q
month and allowing $4,000 per
month for operating expenses
would leave a net profit to the
stockholders of $4,000 a month
and this with only a 10-stamp
mill. However, the milling capac-
ity will be quickly decreased when
this stage has been reached and
prafts increased accordingly.
Mr.. Carman also stated that on
account OF the delay by being
Obliged to close down at this time,
it will be impossible to complete
the underground plans before
August of the present year and for
that reason the erection of the mill
will be postponed ustil this under
ground work has been completed.
The Longfellow is the only COM
pany in this district which has
worked continuously each year
since itsincorporation in 1903, hav-
ing overcome all obstacles, finance
ial panics etc. each year opening
up new ore bodies on its properties
of such value as to justify the ex-
penditure of mere money each year
for mining and equipment and it
seems that now all that remains to
make it a producer is the COM
pletion OF some 500 feet of under
ground work and the erection of
their 10-stamp mill.

PROGRESS AT THE
LONGFELLOW NINE
Systematic and Conscious Work Has Proved
The Con1pany's Ground to be
Valuable Property.

In al. interview with our report
er, L. w. Carman. general manag
er of the Longfellow Gold Mining
and Milling company, operating
out in the Pine Nut mountains,
some eighteen miles Southeast of
GardnervilIe, stated that the fall
of snow in that range the present
winter was more than for several
years past. Snow has fallen to
three feet in depth on the level and
drifted in places to fifteen and
twenty feet in the locality of their
workings. At the present time it
is impossible to drive TO within
three miles of the mill. A shert-
age OF wood at the mines was the
immediate cause for being obliged
to close down temporarily until
weather conditions permit of re-
plenishing the depleted condition
OF the wood pile.
In the spring OF 1908 this Long
fellow company equipped their Big
Frank mine with a II h. p. Fair
banks-M Morse gasoline hoist, an
SxS air compressor of the same
make and two Waugh air drills,
making the most complete plant
in this county.
With these air drills it is poss-
ible To drill so to 100 feet of hole
per shift of eight hours. One man
can put in round of eight to ten
holes four feet deep in four hours
in the hardest granite while
in softer ground this has been
done by the Longfellow in one
hour and twenty minutes.
The shaft on the Big Frank Is a
two compartment verticle shaft
and has been sunk to a depth of
l20 feet. At the 100-foot level
pocket has been cut. This pocket
is plank lined and holds 80 tram
cars of rock. From this hopper
the rock is drawn direct into the
buckets in the shaft, each bucket
holding 1900 pounds, making a
one tom lift, which is hoisted to the
surface at the rate of 300 feet per
minute. The headframe is of the
latest pattern, being designed by
the Fairbanks company. The
sheave wheel is mounted on steel
carriage which runs upon an in
clined steel rail carrying the
bucket and its contents twenty
feet away from the shaft where it
IS automatically dumped into ore
cars, the whole operation being
controlled by the engineer inside

Should Remain for all
Time Where Pioneers
Built II.

In recent issue OF the Carson
Nrws it was suggested that the old
log cabin, the first house built IN
the state. aud situated at Genoa,
should be preserved, and possibly
placed in the care of The Nevada
Historical Society. The move
ment IL worthy one aud should
strike responsive cord within the
heartsuf all who have admiration
for the trail blazers Sho lead I'M
migration To Carson Valley and
built the logs house that today
bears every evidence Of the strug-
gle endured by Stephe \. klnsey,
the Reeses and others when they
settled and began work on Norman
Station, July 4th, 1851. But when
the News suggests TO move 1t TO
Carson and place the cabin upon
some public spot, that paper Is
overeaching its duty to the public
in lis zeal to accomplish great
things.
At the last Session of the Nevada
Legislature, our able senator,
Maurice Mack, introduced a bill ia
the senate asking for u small ap-
preparation for the purchase aud
maintenance of the building The
bill passed the senate like red
automobile but was dragged 10
death in the assembly. We STATE
this ta show that the movement To
preserve the old log cabin is mot
OF recent origin by any means.
This old house is by far the most
historic structure in the entire
state and should be to Nevada
what Sutter's. Fort is to California.
1t is true that for many yea
no attempt was made To prevent
the cabin from falling to decay
A few years ago, however, the cab
iu fell into kindly hands when
T. y. Hansen became its owner.
A neat fence WAS built, and the
lot planted to grass, and we dare
say that the yard in front OF many
Carson homes is not kept in any
better condition. To T. n. Hansen
deserves the credit of doing more
than any other person in presery-
ing the old house.
We do not believe Mr.. Hansen
would sell the building for any
sum with the knowledge that it
was to be moved to Carson or any
other place.
, Genoa people and in fact all of
the residents Of Douglas county
feel Justly proud OF the old log
house and any effort to move 1t
from its historical spot would be
greeted by storm of disapprova!.
Preserve the cabin 10y all means
but let il remain where the hands
OF the pioneers erected 1t some
sixty years ago and where ii Is
surrounded by other early day
environments il Genoa, the mother
town of Nevada.

From the station on the 100-foot
level a drift on the hanging wall
OF the Big Frank ledge has been
driven west 10 feet. Here an up
raise go feet was made, which run
into old workings whore a man by
the name OF Knox operated years
ago and took out some S50,0O00O
from this part of the mine, the
rock being high grade of the high
grade of the highest quality. At
distance so feet west from the
station a eross-cut to the north
has leen driven a distance of Is
feet. This eross-cut has already
cut four small ledges running
parallel with the ledge followed in
the drift. This cresscut is being
run to reach the Brougher ledge,
300 feet to the north and prospect
the ground in between. When the
Brougher ledge has been cut at
this depth, l50 feet, drift will be
driven a short distance to the west
on the ledge when another cross
cut will be driven on north again
275 feet to cut the Jim Butler and
intervening lodges, when an up
raise on the Jim Butler will be
made to surface, being of three
compartments, well timbered and
used for the main hoisting shaft to
take care of the large ore bodies in
the Brougher and Jim Butler
Lodges, which are 10 and - feeet
in width In the surface workings,
carrying some good milling values
with high-grade mixed in. With
this large amount of ore blocked
out in these three lodges, there will
he ore reserves sufficient to furnish
a 5O-ton per day mill for long
time. At the next level 200 feet
in the Big Frank shaft, laterals
will again be run to these lodges
and so at each level as long as
practical from the present shaft
with present equipment after
which heavier equipment will be
installed.
While it is known fact that at
the l00-foot level and in the up
per level, high grade ore has been
mined, some OF which is as rich as
any ore ever mined, still it is not
upon these higher values that the
Longfellow Company base its
earning power, but upsn the lower
grade ore which runs regular in
values and upon which depend
ence for steady production can be

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 21.-The
Fuller bill, the most drastic and far
reaching prohibition bill ever drawn

ate by vote of % to 6.
The measure forbids the possession
even of liquor except in private resi-
dences, makes the accused party
prove his own innocence before any
evidence against him is introduced.
makes the use of the word saloon
crime
1t bars the advertisement of liquors
from billboards and signs, and holds
that even the possession of a federal
liquor license is absolute proof ri
guilt in selling intoxicants.
The bill has a dozen other nearly
as strong clauses and the only
amenment was the one striking out
the clause forbidding the sale in the
state of all newspapers or magazines
which contained liquor advertise
ments.
