The following letter was received by

got his advice and had him make medi-

BLUFFS THAT HAVE
GOT THE BACON

When man makes bluff he should
make good one. There is something
in this theory. Many a time weak
bluff fails where a strong one carries
through. We have all heard of the
gambler on the Sacramento river steam
boat. He paid $500 TO draw one card
IN a poker game, wandering breeze
blew the card out of his fingers Just as
he looked at ii and the pasteboard went
overheard. The gambler immediately
slammed stack of twenty dollar gold
pieces OH his four remaining cards and
took header overheard
Ten inmates later he was dragged into
a boat. more dead than alive, but he had
the missing card in his teeth, and his
first act was to place the wet card with
the four dry ones and raise the opener
the small sum of 5000. He was not
called. the other man concluding that
any card worth risking a life for must
belong to a strong hand. Aiterward the
swimmer showed them four cards of a
straight heart flush and spade, the
latter much mutilated and water soaked.
This bluff was almost as good as Hume
Yerington's seven-up game.
He had two to his opponent six. and
begged. His opponent gave him one.
When the hand was PLAYED Hume
counted high. low, jack and the game
and pegged out. His opponent wanted
to kill him, but he could have won the
game in no other way
A seedy fellow stood in crowd at an
auction sale OF real estate He was so
engrossed with the auctioneer talk that
he instinctively nodded his head. The
auctioneer knocked down piece of
property to him for S+5, 600.
After the auction and before the seedy
one could escape, a man hustled up to
him and offered him s45, 900 for his bar
gain. He took it and was handed a
check for the amount. He gave his own
check for the property. an hour later
and was the first man at the bank door
the next morning and took his profit. -

and the balance to be paid at stated in

game, always being first in at new finds.
the Lucky Boy strike being no excep-
ton. Being practical miner he soon
secured lease on block of ground on
the Lucky BOY No. l. aud Immediately
made preparations for sinking shaft on
the most promising part of the ledge,
which, OH the surface, showed seam of
lead silver no thicker than knife blade.
This was followed with varying success.
though each foot sunk convincing him
that at depth was the metal he was look
ing for. But i'll the meantime the sack
was touching bottom, and as a miner has
to eat and hard rock burns powder fast,
lie started out to rustic a grub stake,
which is not cinch these times
After several intellectual attempts he
finally induced Sheriff Dick Randall and
Harry Cardew of Silver City to put up
enough moneyto sink to greater depth.
He returned and prosecuted the work
until depth of nearly 90 feet was at
tanned, when the seam widened to
nearly 3 feet. and is now producing ore
that averages 500 per tom
Mr.. Eglin is to be congratulated on
the deal and his friends are heartily
glad that he has come into nice little

|; PROPERTIES
MAY Be
CONSOLIDATED

I George II. Gunn. general manager of
the Mason Valley Mining Company's
property, is quoted by the Salt Lake
Telegram as saving that questions had
arisen that would delay the rounding
out of the Mason Valley companys
affairs for an indefinite time; whether it
would be few days a few weeks, or a
few months, he could not say He
declined to enter into discussion of what
it was that was holding things up by
simply stating that it was impossible for
him to say anything at this time.
Ever since it became known that Henry
Crunb, the prominent mining engineer.
was making thorough examination of
the Mason Valley properties, with the
intination that other mines in the camp
were also being checked up. the impress
sion has been gaining ground locally, at
least, that some sort of big merger or
consolidation scheme was brewing 1t
has also been rumored that powerful in
terests III the copper producing world,
OtnCI tildi tlOSG WAiNi NOItiOA tnE
Mason Valley, the Nevada Douglas. and
others. are sparring for control of differ
ent groups of properties, SO the situation
is believed to have become so intricately
involved that it is likely to require
battle of financial giants to determine
just what is to happen before the atinos-
phere is cleared.
In the meantime it is not believed that
anybody's interests in the camp and the
big mines of the camp can suffer In the
least unless it be through the unexpected
wait Mammoth deals are not rounded
ont and pulled off in minute, so that
owners of Mason Valley shares. along
with the rest. may have to wait awhile
to get the best results from their invest
ments; but, if the signs are correctly in
terpreted, there is no occasion to worry.

TROUBLE AHEAD
FOR THE MINER

Section III of a circular issued by the
commissioner OF the general land Office
at Washington, and approved March 3,
1909, contains ruling on the interpre-
tation OF the general mining laws that is
going to throw confusion and consterna-
ton into the camps OF claim owners
seeking to obtain government patents.
The ruling was sprung on II. S. Joseph,
who is manager Of the Silver Shield COM
pany's properties at Bingham, has just
made application for patent on couple
of claims at Bingham.
As is generally known, when min
ing claim is located, the notice, TO con-
form to the law. must designate dis
discovery point and the course of the
lode or ledge through the claim. For
many years this designation OF the lode
in the location notice is all that has been
equired of the claim owner III establish
ing his right to patent the ground, other
than tina, mineral and rock in place"
we're to be found at the point of discov-
ery. This formality complied with, the
owner OF a group OF claims has been per
mitted to do the work for all claims
through one tunnel or shaft which was
shown to tend to the development OF the
group.
According to the new ruling. that will
not do in the future. After mining
locator can make application for patent
under the new ruling as contained IN
the section noted, he will be required
not only TO prove that a ledge has been
discovered in the claim, but he must
trace il BY actual work clear through the
claim or claims sought to be patented.
That done, he rnay concentrate his $500
worth OF work for each claim, or re-
naming portion Of il. at one point II he
so desires.
a strict enforcement of the new rule
will mean that not many groups OF min
ing claims, as such. will ever be patent
"a again. II Is not often that ledge
can be readily traced through a mining
claim after its discovery on the surface,
because of the action OF the elements
In gulches the veins existence is often
obliterated through erosion and the ac-
emulation Of anywhere from ten to 100
feet or more of debris that has been
washed over it. Dense growths of brush
and trees also often interfere with strip
ping a vein that can be noted here and
there by the outcrop, while to expose 1t
for the length OF claim would entail
work that few men or companies would
be capable of performing without loss OF
much time. and in some instances tre-
mendous and unnecessary expenditures
OF money.
In cases where companies and individ-
uals locate on ledge and then take up
additional claims TO avoid encroachments
from possible neighbors, the ruling will
be a singer. 1t is nothing uncommon,
after a vein has been located, or dis
covery has been made, to locate num-
her of fanking claims without regard to
whether they contain veins or not, just
10 head off possible litigation.
From the looks of things a storm will
break about the ears of the commissioner
Of the general land Office II that rule is
not modified. Salt Lake Herald.
