HORGAN WILL START WORK
ON sUNNYSIDE PROPERTY

Ed. Horgan, who has been making a
tour of various mining towns of the
state, returned to Wonder Tuesday eve
ming with a view to taking charge of
the development work on the sunny
side property, dajoining the Queen
group ON the west, says the Wonder
Mining News. This property was re-
Gently purchased by a company from
James Flynn, who was in partnership
with Mr.. Horgan in the Horgan-Flynn
lease on the Queen property. He says
that, so far as he was able to learn
from mining men whom he met during
his trip, the majority of those interest.
ed in Wonder properties are waiting for
the Nevada Wonder people to begin
work on their mill, and as soon as they
begin work in earnest there will prob
ably be a revival of interest in the
other properties of the district. While
waiting for the arrival of the general
manager of the ~Sunnyside company, Mr..
Horgan will make a short prospecting
trip, probably extending over a week
or so.

SUITS ARE FILED OVER
PLACERS AT MANHATTAN

Rich Manhattan placers are not to
miss the glory of a contest in the courts.
j. G. Mihelitch has brought two %injunc-
ton and damage suits in the district
court at Tonopah against parties who
he alleges have jumped claims in the
Manhattan gulch belonging to him and
are working them for plaeers. In each
instance he asks for damages in the
sun of 5 1900 and restitution Of the
property.
The first suit is against II. E. Stan
ley, Martin Kittring and J H. Harrell.
He alleges that on March 20 they en-
tered upon the Bright August and
Happy Day lode claims, belonging to
him, and commenced mining, breaking
down rock and extracting therefrom
gold and silver and placer gravel, re-
moving the gold therefrom. He fears
that they viii dispose of the claims to
his loss and damages. Judge Averill
has granted an order to show cause and
the defendants having appeared, the
case is Sc. for April 81.
The allegations in the second suit are
identical with the other except that the
claim in dispute is called the Top Knob
aud the defendant is j. A. Fulkerson.

HOMESTAKE MINE CLOSES
DOWN WORK INDEFINITELY


Acting under telegraphic advics
from President q. ID. Milan, superin
tendent s. ID. Tyler closed down the
Homestake mine and mill last Satur.
day afternoon, says the Rhyolite Her
aid.
Monday the. Herald wired Mr..
Milan, at Dallas, Texas, asking if the
company had any definite plans for the
future and inquired if the bond
holders anticipated the foreclosure of
the property. To this inquiry, Mr..
Milan replied:
"No plans formulated for Home
stake. Bond holders have not con-
sidered foreclosure"
Superintendent Tyler advised the
Herald that the proposition has reached
its limit until more ore is placed in
sight in the mine. When Tony Cad
ogan took charge last winter, he report.
ed to this paper that there was enough
ore of a commercial grade in sight to
keep the mill busy for six months, and
this period has beer covered.
Meanwhile an effort has been made
tc open additional ore, but Mr.. Tyler
says that nothing of Importance has
Leen discovered. The 500 level has
been prospected for fully 200 feet
teyond the objective point, where the
ere shoot opened should be found
hut while the vein is still strong the
values are too low to permit nf milling,
and for that reason money has not
been available to carry the shaft to "A
deeper point. The available ore hav-
ing been practically worked out, and
with no money in the eompany's treas
ury, there was only one course left
and that has been followed in the clos
ing of the project.

WESTERN NEVADA MINE
SUDDENLY CLOSES DOWN

The Western Nevada ceased opera
tons at the property Monday, and the
entire force was laid off indefinitely,
about twenty-five men.
That the property is closed tightly
for the present is evidenced by the fact
that the employees have nearly all de-
parted from the district, a few remain
ing to fill places that were vacant on
the several other properties in opera
tion. Most of the men took bag and
baggage with them, which would indi-
cate that the management held out no
inducement for even the favorite en-
ployes to remain close at hand in case
Of early resumption of operations
The shutting down of the Western
Nevada follows so closely upon the
strike of last week that all Mason is
specializing as to what the order from
Salt Lake means.
That a rich strike was made at the
400 level is a fact, independent of any
announcement that has been or will be
made by the Newhouse interests, which
control the property. Mason people do
not know whether the Western Nevada
is a mine or a prospect, but they do
know thai a body Of excellent ore was
encountered in the workings last week.

ia the east in connection with some
large mining projects and stated that
his visit there showed him the neces-
sity for better laws to protect the in
weston in mining stocks of companies
operating in this state.
"Nevada for mine,'' said Mr.. Cur
It's this morning, "as l believe we
have the greatest undeveloped state
and regard it as a young one in spite
of its important past history. But we
have a bad reputation in some mat
tiers and the most important thing we
have to do is to secure additional
capital to develop the states re-
sources. To do that we nave to re-
store the investors confidence and
when we do that we can get all the
money we need. At present there is
much idle capital in the east that will
lie looking for investments as soon as
the tariff bill is out of the way which
we can get if the capitalists believe
they will be given a fair run for their
money.
"The people of the east have been
keeping in touch with what has been
going on in Nevada and are well in
formed in regard to the possibilities
to be developed here when proper
laws are made for the protection of
outside capital"

LODI SMELTER WILL BE
BLOWN IN ABOUT MAY Is

The Lodi smelter is now practically
completed, and will be ready for blow
ing in about May Is, according to state
ments of DR.. C. i. Burt, general man
ager of the Lodi Mines company. DR..
Burt has recently been securing addi-
tional teams to haul the regular daily
freight between Luning and Lodi.
1t will require 100 head of horses
and two or three traction engines to
do the business. The incoming freight
will consist of 20 tons daily of coke and
crude oil. The back haul to Luning
win approximate Is tons daily. A con-
signment of 1000 tons of coke will be
the first Job for these Luning to Lodi
f~reighters.
There is 100000 worth of ore ready
for the smelter. While the smelter has
been in course of construction, the
mine work has been prosecuted with
vigor and the deeper levels have re-
sponded with an immense tonnage of
the high grade treasure sought. On the
10th level at 500 feet depth the great
ledge shows big bodies of the best grade
of ore yet found in the mine. Two
thousand tons of 800 ore are ready to
be hoisted from this and other levels
as soon as the smelter is ready.
BY June l, a compressor plant will
be installed and work begun on the
sinking of a new l000-foot shaft.

Mr.. Tyler has recommended deeper
de development, hoping to open additional
rich reserves in the big vein, in which
a large shoot was uncovered between
the 500 and 400 levels.
The Homestake is equipped with q
splendid 25-stamp mill, which is con
sidered one of the best in the state.
More than s125,000 was expended IN
It's construction. 1t was announced at
the time the mill was bull. that the
mine had wears of ore" in sight, and
an enlargement was contemplated
even before the stamps were dropped.
It has since been stated that the diree-
tors did not have an expert IN the
property before the mill was built, but
that they depended almost solely upon
the reports given them by the manage
ment which preceded the first regime
of A. @. Cadogan, who brought the
project to its greatest degree of sue
cess. Whether or not this is true, the
mine a not been able TO produce an
average grade of ore to provide a sur
plus after feeding the mill for nine
months. What was gained while the
ore held up to a good average has been
lost in the depreciation of values in
the ore worked during the last few
months.
The Homestake carries a bond issue
of 100000, distributed largely among
the heavy stockholders, and interest is
row due with no funds to meet the
obligations.
President Milan assured Herald
readers months ago that no move
would ever be made to deprive stock
holders of the rights in Homestake,
and now the public is waiting to see
if Mr.. Milam's promise is to be full
filed.

OLDFIELD GOING AFTER
JEFFRIES-JOHNSON FIGHT

Of Goldfeld. The messages assured the
cooperation of the railroad officials.
C. o. Whittemore, legal counsel OF
the Salt Lake route said. VERY glad
to help in every way consistent to get
johnson and Jeffries fight for Gold
field. Please keep me fully advised.
w. r. Alberger, traffic manager of
the Tonopah & Tidewater, said: "If
Jeffries and johnson fight in Goldfeld
the Tonopah & Tidewater company will
make low rates from coast. Wish you
success. Put me down for ten front
seats.'
The kilograms produced a tense de-
sire to hear more, and when Col. l.. "
Eddy arose to make an address, the
audience cheered heartily. Col. Eddy
spoke of the benefit of being a trained
athlete and went back to the days of
the old Roman empire when the gladl-
ators were admitted to the highest So
ciety in the then highest and strongest
nation in the world. He hoped that the
fight would come to Goldfeld; that the
public would work with that determine
ton; and said that he for one would do
all in his W to make of the enter
prise q success
Judge r. 8. Miner spoke along the
lines of Col. Eddy, saying that the
Goldfeld business men should not let
the opportunity fer having the big
fight escape, and that it would instill
life into the camp as did the famous
| Gans-Nelson fight in 1906.
Walter c. Stone reused the crowd to
sit up and take notice when he shouted
out to them that he was "there' in
the plan to buy stock, and that he was
ready to put in $1,000 or $4,000 If
necessary, if it would help the plan to
success, and told the audience that he
Lad heard some on the street talking OF
the men whose names appeared in the
published list. He said that not a man
in that list but what could give all he
had promised, and told the audience to
get together, and 90 out and boost for
the proposition.

The public of Goldfeld was last night
made acquainted with the manner In
which it is hoped the big Jeffries-John-
SON fight may be brought to Goldfeld,
and also the plans of the interested
parties whereby they hope to raise a
purse of $4,000 which be the largest
ever offered in the history of the fight
ing game.
The Hippodrome theater last night
contained nearly all of the public OF
Goldfeld who could spare the time to
attend the meeting, and many OF them
were standing around the side walls
eagerly discussing the plan. By the
talks of j. +. Thompson, who held the
chair on the stage last evening, 1t IS
the intention to raise the purse before
any overtures are made to the big
scrappers, and deposit it in Jno. 8.
Cook & Co.'s bank, after which a wire
will be sent to each of the big scrap
pers:
Fifty thousand dollars on deposit

Walter c. Stone, who was one OF the
speakers at last night mass meeting
says that the purse will be raised, al
though it may take a little more time
than it did to raise the purse Of s3o,o0t
which was put up for the Gans-Nelso
scrap.
j. G. Thompson explained that it Is
the intention Of the committee handling
the work to publish a number Of places
throughout the city during the mex
few days, at which subscriptions fol
the 100000 shares of stock in the com
pany, win be sold, the purchaser to pa.

130-foot level to connect with the Raw
hide Rose lease on the same ground
500 feet distant. This is being done
for prospecting purposes as well as to
obtain a good supply of fresh air. In
this crosscut they were out IS feet last
night.
The Rawhide Avenue company de-
serves much credit for the energetic
and persistent manner in which they
are carrying on their work. They are
now going through vein matter that
gives a fair milling assay and expect
to encounter something pretty good
with a little more work.
The Rswhide Queen Mines company
continues to ship continuously from
the old Kearns , block. The ore house
is always crowded with the precious
stuff and much of it is stored in the
underground workings of the mine and
is brought up as fast as teams can be
secured to haul it to the railroad.
There has been no cessation what
ever, in the regularity of these ship
ments, and judging from the develop
ments on this portion of the Queen es-
tate, there is not likely to be for some
lime to come.
The Royal Regent Mines company is

They started sinking on the Mint
this morning for the 400-foot level,
where it is expected they will strike

the 400 is reached, should the ore
body continue to that depth as every
thing seems to indicate now they will
nave one of the L.ggest things in
this part of the state.
The company is making a shipment
to the knight-Co nlon mill, which will
aggregate about 40 tons with an
average value of $50 per ton. They
have also shipped to the Hazen sampler
a similar amount but with an average
of about $3.50 per ton.
During the next week work on the
buildings of the National Ore Purchas-
ing and Reduction company will be
commenced.
Up to the present time a great deal
has been accomplished in putting in a
pumping plant, placing the pipe in posi-
tion and erecting a tank of one hundred
thousand gallons capacity. This work
was completed first in order that the
water to be used IN mixing the con
crete could be piped to the mill site.
All of the lumber is now on the
ground and the framing of the same
will begin at once. The last ear of
machinery has left San Francisco and
should reach here by the last of next
week.
1t is the intention of the company
to erect another 100000 gallon tank
upon the crest of Balloon Hill, where
the original Kearns water company
had secured a franchise. This site has
been purchased by the present com
pany. The pressure to the square inch
will be 100 pounds. This force will be
strong enough to throw a stream of
water over the highest building in Raw
hide and will have a tendency to reduce
the insurance rates.
