PITTSBURG-sILvER PEAK
RAISE NEARLY COMPLETED

A fine piece of engineering work is
now about completed in the property
of the Pittsburg- Silver Peak company.
A raise is being put through from the
tunnel level of the Mary to tap the up
per and intermediate portions OF the
Drinkwater and adjacent ground. 1T
will be 400 feet in length, and will be
equipped with double track the entire
distance. The ore will be handled by
two skips, which were built under the
direction of General Manager Bradley.
They will have a capacity of -four tons
each, and will be capable of handling
600 IONS in every shift of eight hours
The construction of the tram is under
direction of the mine engineer, ana
the grade is such that no danger is
probable from the cars jumping OIL the
rails while going up or down. Inc cars
lock automatically, and there is httie
likelihood of any ore being spilled IN
transit. The new method will be in use
about May lst.

NEW CAMP OF LUCK BOY
IS STILL A DRAWING CARD

"The rush of people into Hawthorne
and Lucky Boy is great these days.
said George Brodigan, county recorder
and auditor, who has just returned
from a trip to the former county seat
of this county. "Although there are
three autos which had established a
regular line of service between the
railroad station at Hawthorne and the
former county seat, they usually have
to make a second trip back to the sta
ton to get the passengers whom they
could not carry on the first trip over,
and sometimes they make several trips.
Lucky Boy is to have good water in
the near future said Recorder Brodi-
gan, land when the line which is now
being built is completed, the town will
be furnished with the best water in
the state. A pipe line is being laid
from some fine springs about six miles
above Lucky Boy, above Summit sta
ton, on the Bodie stage road, and the
springs are known throughout the state
as some of the most permanent and
the source of a plentiful supply of good,
clear water which can be used for any
purpose.

FRANCES MOHAWK SUIT
MAY BE TRIED AGAIN

The Frances Mohawk Mining & Leas-
ing company, defendant in the suit OF
the Goldfeild Mohawk Mining company,
which was tried in the district court be-
fcre Judge Stevens, recently has filed
notice of an intention to nov the court
to set aside the verdict then rendered,
which was for $4,000 in favor Of the
plaintiff company, and to grant the de-
PENDANT a new trial.
The grounds for its motion for a new
trial are given by the defendant, the no.
tiee alleging that it was because OF a
statement made by a bailiff of the court
to the jury that unless they agreed be-
fore y o'clock Saturday night the court
would not receive the verdict until
Monday at 10 a. N. 1t is further al
legged that the verdict is mo- the honest
verdict of the jury; that the jurors
were guilty of improper conduct in that
they discussed the evidence introduced
and did not wait for the instructions of
the court; that the jurors were biased.
There are other minor allegations IN
the motion.

NOTED RYEPATCH MINE
HAS BEEN RESURRECTED

The organization of the Ryepatch
Consolidated Mining company, which
involves the resurrection of one of
Nevada greatest silver mines, has just
been consummated in Salt Lake City,
following discoveries of a starting ma
ture that have just come to light IN
the old Ryepateh mine workings, the
mine being about fifty miles from the
Seven Troughs district in HUMBOLDT
county, Nevada. The Ryepateh mines,
including the Silver Bell and the Al
pha, which have produced in the neigh
borhood of $14, 100000 in values and
which were tied up in hopeless lltlga-
ton prior to 1878, have been found by
C. ID. Ray and associates to still con
tain evidences of wealth that promise
to completely eclipse all the former
glory of these famous properties. Fol
lowing a quiet investigation covering
the old mine workings, the surrounding
grounds, Humboldt county records and
deeds and titles in San Francisco, all
lasting for more than eight months, Mr.
Raw has effected the purchase of both
the famous old producers much sur
rounding territory and the organiza
ton of a company which began taking
out ore several days ago. 1t can b'
safely predicted that operations an'
disclosures are involved of greater I'm
~portance than anything that has eom'
to light in Nevada in recent years.

GOLDFIELD MINING MEN
BUY WILSON PLACER LEASE

One of the most important deals since
fields at Manhattan has been consum-
mated by Goldfeld mining men. The
rich DRY wash Wilson placer lease,
which is daily washing out rich mug
gets, has been sold to a local syndicate
composed of Tom Murphy, A. l..
Barnes, Tom Klein and A. L. Bissell.
The latter has just returned from
Manhattan and he is showing a bottle
containing five ounces of the nuggets.
One was as large as a dollar and pure
gold. Mr.. Bisseli states that the bot
tie full came from less than four yards
of dirt, which is ''going some even
for Manhattan.
While it could not be confirmed, it
was rumored that the Wilson lease sold
for $4,000, which is the largest trans
action up to date since the excitement
started i'm the ''tamp Of Pines" Sew
eral other large operators, including
Frank Oliver and James X. Davis, are
closing purchases of placer land at
Manhattan and within the coming week
there will be thousands of dollars
changing hands in the northern camp.
And it all means that Manhattan has
come into its own; that doubters ana

FIRE DESTROYS BIG PLANT

Fire which is believed to have been
caused by defective insulation of cleo
trio wires destroyed the engine house
and blacksmith shop, and power plant
at the Nevada Gold Ore lease on the
Gold Bar early Sunday morning. The
total loss was about $4,000, but Man

ready for operation and work resumed
with a larger plant than before.
One of the most severe electric storms
experienced in this section in recent
years prevailed for several hours Sunday
night in connection with a heavy down
pour of sleet and rain. 1t became Sc
severe for a time that the Nevada-Caii-

ADDITIONS MADE To
NATIONAL FORESTRY AREA

the northern portion of the state of
Nevada, a large area has been added
which is known as the Bruneau add
ton. The same regulations and rules
for grazing and also the same grazing
periods that apply to the original Hum
boldt national forest will apply to this
new addition. No charges for grazing
will be made during the season of
1909, nor will any permits be issued;
and all persons who have used this
range will be entitled to Craze their
stock there this year free of charge.
A small addition has also been made
to the Toiyabe forest, the largest
acreage being in the vicinity of the
city Of Austin. Inasmuch as the area
is small and the conditions well under
stood, the usual grazing fees will be
charged on this addition.
There was some fear among the Ne
voda stockmen that in making these
new forests and also in taking in these
large additions, arbitrary action would
be taken by the forest service in re
fusing grazing permits to those who
had used it in the past. 1t has never
been the policy of the forest service to
take such drastic action, but rather to
give the stockmen ample warning of
any intended changes in such matters
so that they could have time to pre-
pare for the change by either reducing
their herds or finding grazing grounds
elsewhere. Hence in all such matters
no changes are made the first year, but
notice is given in plenty of time so that
if it is found necessary to reduce the
number of stock using the range, all
interested parties can be notified III
time to meet it without loss.

Ogden, April 23.-Among the recent
additions to national forest area sew
eral changes have been made which
are of interest in this state. All of
the land is in district No. 4, with head
quarters in Ogden.
In eastern Nevada the Nevada ma
tional forest was created. This area,
which lies mostly in White Pine coun-
ty, is in a section of the state covered
by several mountain ranges, the prin-
cipal ones being the Grant Creek,
Snake and White Pine mountains. The
timber of these mountains, while not
equal to the timber on many national
forests, is still Of great value to he
settlers and local industries, and there
fore was deemed worthy of being prop
ely protected.
One great value of the areas at the
present time is for stock grazing pur-
poses, and large numbers of sheep and
cattle are now occupying the ranges.
For the present year all persons, who,
iii previous years, ave used the range
now included in the Nevada national
forest will be entitled to Craze their
stock free of charge and without per-
nit for the season of 1909. They will,
however, be required to conform to all
the regulations of the secretary OF
agriculture concerning the use of ma
tional forests. In the meantime, the
supervisor will take a census OF the
live stock and endeavor to establish the
proper number that should be grazed
on the area without injuring the range,
and next year permits will be issued
and the regular fees charged.

A dividend of $4,000, payable I'M
mediately, was declared a few days
g by the Hubbard lease on the prop
erty of the Alamo Mining and Leasing
company at Hawthorne. The informa-
ton was conveyed in a letter received
by Barry Hamilton, cashier of the First
National Bank of Goldfeld, from J. ID.
Hubbard of Chicago, who controls the
lease.
This is the second dividend declared
bv the Hubbard lease this month, the
first having been made April ], when
a dividend of $4,000 was passed out to
stockholders.
In the letter, Mr.. Hubbard says that
with the paying of the dividend of
$50. 900. there still will be a consider
able surplus in the treasury of the
company, and that things are looking
so bright that there will be at least one
dividend paid monthly, and that per
haps the declaration may be possible
twice every month.

TONOPAH BELMONT MINE
MAKES IMPORTANT STRIKE

Tonopah Belmont is creating a bit
of excitement in the usually unexcit-
able camp of Tonopah, as news of one
of the most important discoveries IN
the history of the mine at the l,loo-
foot level was followed by the stock
being in active demand on the plus side
of the dollar point. No statements
have been made as to the size or char
acter of this new find, save that lit
is as big and rich as anything yet
found in the mine
1t appears that the lode has received
a secondary enrichment below the
water line, the ore now having the ap-
pearance of an amethyst quartz. In
MANY quarters it had been predicted
that when the Tonopah mines went be
law the water level, it would be found
that the values would be only primary
values, and that they would be lower
than the values above the water level
where. it was argued, secondary en-
richnent had taken place. When III II
remembered that the greatest days OF
the Comstoek came after the water
level had been reached, it will be seen
that startling news is due from TIT

SOUTHERN PACIFIC PLANS
IMPORTANT RAILWAY LINK

Sunland, New, April pa corps of
Southern Pacific engineers, in charge
of Robert J. Griffin, have pitched their
camp here and expect to remain three
or -four months.
Their work is said to be in conjunc-
tion with the closing of the gap between
Mohave and Keller, CAL, and the broad
guaging of the entire line from the lat
ter point to Nina, Nevada, by seeking
10 feasible tunnel route from the head
of the valley at the west base of Mount
Montgomery and come out at Basalt,
north of here.
If this can be accomplished, and
there are no serious doubts about it,
the distance on this particular stretch
Of territory will be cut down fully half.
From the lay of the land, it would ap-
pear that such a tunnel will be about
six miles long.
Every morning two wagon loads OF
the men, one with foul horses and tn,
other with two, leave the camp will
a good lunch supply and fully equippe,
with all the modern paraphcrnalia foI
their work.
This section is described by the en-
cheering department of the Southern
Pacific as the White Mountain divid,
south of Basalt. According to agree
nent with the city of Los Angeles
the road from Mohave to join the Ne
vada 4 California railway north O.
