A representative of the proposed Ne
vada Swiss Smelters Co. spent last
week examining some of the old mines
along the Humboldt range, looking up
smelling ores. He found the ores of
every camp visited could be reduced
more rapidly and economically by the
smelling process than otherwise. The
idle and crumbling mills, machinery
that cost fortunes, some of it that is
at the mines but never set up, go 20
prove that the ordinary milling pro-
cesses cannot be proftably employed
on the low grade ores of this section.
The Humboldt range was made fam
Gus by the Arizona and Rye Patch
mines. These mines are located near
the center Of the range, the Arizona
at Unionville On the east side and the
Rye Patch on the west side. Their
combined output in the past is estimat-
ed at twelve to fifteen millions of dol
lars, but the value of silver in those
days was double the present value.
A short distance north of Unionville
is the equally famous Sheba mine,
which was also the first mine discover
ed in the range. 1t produced over
three million dollars from one pocket.
1t is also notable about the Sheba that
perhaps no mine in the state can boast
of retaining the same manager and con-
sulting engineer continuously for more
than forty years. The late Joseph Or
gan, father of Peter Organ, of Mill
City, came out from California and
took charge of the property in its
early days. There are dozen claims.
The Mammoth has large porphyry
dyke containing gold, but the ores are
smelling.
Unionville was famous old camp
forty years ago, and was the county
seat of Humboldt county. The Arizona
group is consolidation Of seven
claims, which support the town. The
books of John G. Fall, the original
owner, showed product of about five
and half million dollars up to the
time he shut down the mine and left.
Some very high grade silver ore was
mined and milled at UnionviIle, but
it cost over $50 per ton to reduce it.
Sagebrush was used for fuel, which
alone cost more than 800 per day.
When silver defined, the mines were
shut down. The county seat was moved
to Winnemucca and the once lively,

the north Of Scotland paid business
visit to London the other, day. He
happened to call on a merchant who
unknown to him had once made stay
In his native place. In the course Of
conversation the visitor made use Of
an expression that led the other to ex-
claim, Surely you come from Glen
McLuskie?" The assertion, however.
was denied. Presently, to the merchants
surprise. another Glen McLuskies ex-
preston was heard. "My dear Mr..
MacTavish. feel convinced that you
are Glen McLuskie man after ALL"

"Weel," returned the other, ttI'll no

GEORGE I. and tho STAGE.

George I. was lover Of the stage

caused his Servants to play before
him at court. In 1918 his majesty or
dered the great hall Of Hampton Court
to be converted for the time into
theater. There, under the direction of
Steele, whose political services had
been poorly recompensed by granting
him some theatrical privileges" seven
performances were given. Among the
plays were Hamlet" "Sir Courtly
Nice" 'The Constant Couple" Love
For Money" "volpone" and "Rule a
Wife and Have Wife," Among the
players were Colley Cibber, Pinketh-
man. johnson, Thurmond. Booth.

In FORMER times the fee paid by the
sovereign to his servants for a play
acted at Whitehall had been EGO. For
these plays at Hampton Court King
George. besides paying the actors their

penses, gave 1850 and added 1900 for
