Of Course 1t Will Be Better

7 ILL the camp be any better in the future" is a question
w tlat has been asked the editor many times of late. Of
course editors, being gifted above ordinary mortals with
a clear vision into the future, a knowledge of all things OF the present,
and a remembrance of all events of the past, are capable Of answer
ing such queries down to the dollar and to the minute, can tell the
future increase of the camps population down to the manor baby.
And in view of the above, we want to pass it out that the camp
will be better. One thing alone--the strike of immensely rich ore in
the lower levels of the Ccnsoidated-wil make the camp more at
tractive in the eyes of mining men, and adds years to the life of the
camp. We nave just had some distinguished, live men in our camp
who are looked upon as authorities in their line, who have seen for
themselves what the camp and the state offer, and their word will
be Of great value to the mining industry of the state. Mills are going
up all around, and not a month passes but some low grade property is
the scene of renewed activity. Machinery men re busy draughtng
plans for ana making estimates upon, new mills. There is a slow re-
sumption OF work o local properties that have been idle. Another
local property-the Combination Fraction-has jumped into the divi
dend class. #
Then, certain railroad developments that r. pending promise
much for the future of the camp, not only making Goldheld more
accessible and giving it an increased population, but making tribu
tary to it a vast mining territory that is rich with milling and ship
ping grade ores, and that hitherto have been inaccessible.
"Will the camp be better in the future?'' The question has been
asked, and above we answer it, as best we can, and according to our
honest convictions.

Milling Ores Our Greatest Asset

brought out. to the effect that it is the milling, and not the hlgh grade
ORE Of the state that are ultimately to attract the greatest number OF
investors and the greatest combinations OF capital. Mr.. Rchards
pointed out that the high grade deposits ar usually erratic, and COM
parativeiy small, while the low grade, or milling ores, are usually IN
deposits Of the kind that can be inquired out IN eet, nch ~ onS

Ever since the camp was first the center of the attention OF the mining
world RON MANY sources (among them certain government engi

At nearly 1000 feet under ground actually 145O feet on the dip OF

discovery should give ley life to the entire camp. 1t should remove

sh.fts aeepe it should cause a general resumption OF work in IL the
properties within the proved zone and at the same time encourage

The discovery in the Consolidated has come at an opporune time.

RHYOLITE, Oct. THE crosscut
from the 20O-foot level of the keane-
Wonder shaft has exposed a width of
IS feet of ore assaying *l4 in gold
per ton. with the opposite wall not as
yet in sight.
The erosscut is a large one, II feet
high, and this immense lateral is all
in ore of this quality. The crosscut is
being run toward the hanging wall.
The shaft was sunk on the first ledge
in place discovered on the estate, and
is proving up one of the largest bodies
on this wonderful property. The great
est width of ore in the upper workings,
where the rock is quarried ont of the
side of the mountain, is 81 feet, only
two feet bigger than the crosscut from
the shaft.
In the drift from the 100 foot level
the ore is continuous, and is Of about
the same quality throughout. This
shows that the ore body is one of great
magnitude, alone sufficient to feed the
mill for a long time.

UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA
EXPRESSES IT'S GRATITUDE

sary and we feel confident that this
respect.
One important feature of our school
is the provision for properly displaying
ores, minerals and the products of the
mining and metallurgieal industries. We
have a magnificent museum. We have
systematic collections which are used
in instruction but up to the present
time we nave had no collection which
would adequately represent the re-
sources of the state.
The splendid collection exhibited at
the Mineral Palace will form the
nucleus of such a collection. 1t will lie
carefully packed and shipped to the
mining school where it will be system
atically arranged and displayed. Min
ing engineers, investors and others will
thus have an opportunity not only a
comprehensive review of the %esource
but also accurate information concern
ing the many mining districts of the
state. Needless to say that the sub
stantial up-building of the mining in
dustry in the state will be furthered
by the maintenance of such a museum
in conjunction with the Maekay School
of Mines and the state university.

On behalf of the University of Ne
vada and the Maekay School of Mines,
| take advantage of this opportunity
to make public acknowledgment of our
pratefulness for the gift of the mineral
exhibit which commentaries this meet
ing of the American Mining Congress.
To the people of Nevada we are espe-
cialiy grateful since they have so gen
erously not only provided the means
for bringing this exhibit together but
also, by their hearty cooperation IN
sending specimens and ores, contributed
TO the success of the exhibit. To the
energetic people of Goldfeld and the
Nevada state commission, we extend our
thanks for without their enterprise the
Mining Congress would not have con-
vened here and the opportunity for col
lecting and making this exhibit would
not have happened.
The Nevada mining school is inti-
mately connected with the develop
ment of the mining resources not only
of this state but with other mining dis
tricts. The adequate equipment and
efficient maintenance of our school has
been provided for by the citizens of Ne
vada and Clarence Mackay. The future
development rests with the faculty on
the one hand and the people on the
other. Enthusiastic support is neces-

On the Right Track

= GERMAN ZADIG'S address, printed in full this issue of The
News, is one that every mining man-as well as the investor
= = should read with care, and thoroughly digest. Mr.. Zadig IS one
of the prominent brokers of San Francisco, and for years has been
actively identified with large operations o. the Comstock lode. His
utteraEces are merely in line with those of the conservative and Who'll
ly legitimate brokers of the east, to the effect that the proper mine
company organization is with assessable stock. by this means assuring
that when the stock is all sold, and more money needed, the company
will not be bankrupt also assuring that the who holds the stock
must pay his pro rata of the expense of mine development.
Too much stock buying is done with the idea that the cheapest
stock 10 the best, and with the idea of buying cheap stock and letting
some IN else pay for the development of a mine. Then, if the mine
fails to lie ,elop, the small stakeholder, who has paid one n ten or
twenty-five cents for his stock feels that he has a personal grievance
against the management of the property.
Again, we advise that Mr.. Zadig's article be carefully read and
fully digested.

KEANE WONDER GETTING
IMMENSE NEW ORE BODY

Superintendent Homer Wilson Sc
Inmates that without the ore in sight
in the shaft workings, the old work
ings will produce ore enough to
keep the mill running for two or three
years.
1t is interesting to note in this
connection that several of the quartz
outcrops on the Keane- Wonder estate
have not as yet been p~rospected or
drawn upon for any tonnage of ore,
although a sampling of the outcrops
shows good values. The Whipsaw
claim contains, it is believed equally
as much ore as the claim on which the
principal work has been done. The
at the Keane- Wonder present
great possibilities.
The mill returns for August were
for only $4,000, the quality Of the
bullion having been lowered on account
of the sulphide ore which was then in
evidence. MI. Wilson expects the Sep
TENDER returns to be up to the stand
ard.

INJUNCTION STOPS WORK
ON RICH NATIONAL LEASE

A temporary injunction of such

ing Jack. The statement made by Mr.
Peterson is as follows: 1.-THE owners
of the Jumping Jack and Stray Doc
are DESTROYS of acquiring patents, and
in order to get patents the side lines
must run parallel with the lode line.
AS the lode line runs crosswise of the
claims as originally surveyed, it became
necessary to locate the property across
the original survey, which necessitated
making several locations to cover ali
the ground held by the Jumping Jack
and Stray Dog under their original
surveys. The properties are now eligi.
BILE for patent under the present patent
laws. In order to run the survey lines.
it was necessary to lap over adjoining
claims. The overlapping was done sim.
ply to facilitate parallelling the lines
of the amended locations, and for no
other purpose. 1t is not the intention
of the owners of the original Jumping
Jack and Stray Dog to attempt In any
manner to acquire additional property
other than that held under the original
locations. The changes are made en-
tirely within the original boundaries,
on land belonging to the companies
above mentioned, for the purpose Of
being in a position to acquire patents
as before stated. 1t seems that all
sorts of rumors and remarks have been
circulating to the effect that there was
an attempt being made to acquire prop
erty belonging to other people, which
is entirely erroneous, as the changes
that have been made do not in any
way affect people outside of the orig
nal lines of the Stray Dog and Jumping
Jack and do not concern any one but
the n of those two properties.
