ARASIRA MAKES PRODUCER
OF The OLD KELLER MINE

A property that is making good anu
Of which very little has been said IS
that belonging to Charles Keller, IN
the Dutch Flat mining district, about
twenty miles northeast of Winnemuccs.
Last week a fve-ton lot of ore was
run through his arastra that gave re-
suits of a fo~urteen-ounee bar of gold
bullion and 200 pounds Of concentrates,
the latter also showing rich values in
the yellow metal.
For a number of years Mr.. Keller
has been developing his group of
claims. working ore in an arastra to
nav the expenses of development, uu-
til he has now one of the finest gold
propositions in the county. The group
consists of five claims, which are more
or less developed, but the principal
work has been done on the Bodena. On
this claim there is a shaft 100 feet
deem. At a point forty feet down in a
drift which follows the ledge there as
three feet of ore which will run close
to 800 per ton in gold. At a depth OF
l4O feet there is another drift tina
has followed the ledge south for ninety
feet. In a winze from this level eigh'
teen feet deep there is a vein one foot
wide that assays $3.50 to the ton. In
the bottom of the main shaft there is q
20-foot crosscut to the ledge which IS
four feet wide and pans well in gold;
an eighteen inch streak will probably
assay $40 to the ton. On all the claims
in the group where the disclosures
have been made there are showings OF
good ore. The property is located OF
a range of mountains on the east sid'
of Paradise valley, which is one o.
the most fertile valleys in the state
Humboldt Star.

MacNamara.
Work was resumed last Tuesday at
ter a shutdown of two days for tue
holidays, and the different workings
made good progress. The new com.
pressor which was started up last week
is giving excellent satisfaction, fur.
nishing plenty of air to run the drills
and the hoist, the latter having fog
merly been operated by steam. Every
thing in and about the mine is look
ing first class, and while there are no
particular improvements to note, the
different faces of ore are more thon
holding their own in strength and
value. During the week a total of fse
cars of so ions of ore each were senr
to the shelters.
Tonopah Mining.
Little progress was made in the
Tonopah Mining Co.'S property during
the past week, due entirely to the
two days shutdown for the holidays
and another day lost through lack Of
power, the total new footage mount
ing to but SO feet, of which 45h were
broken in the Mizpah ground, l6ha in
the Silver Top and 81 in the Red
Plume. No sinking was done in the
Mizpah shaft, which has attained a
depth of 1447 feet. When the power
was shut off last week the water rose
in the shaft to IT'S feet above the
bottom, and this had just been pumped
out and arrangements completed to
keep the pump going through the hol.-
days when the power was again shut
off, allowing the shaft to fill up with
water to the 150-foot point a second
time, which required the greater part
of this week to pump out, allowing the
work of sinking to proceed yesterday.
The foundation for the new 12-drill
120 h.. p. compressor has been COM
pleted and everything is in readiness
to install the machinery upon its ar
rival, which is anxiously awaited in
order to push the work of develop
ment along at a faster clip.

Considering the short week, due to
the loss of two days on account OF
lack of power, the results of opera
tions in the mine and mill have been
most satisfactory. Especially is this so

week, tonnage considered, was the

A curious diplomatic incident has,
as the Paris Petit Partisan hears from

According TO this story, whenever a
theft is committed the owner OF the
stolen property applies to a sort OF
corporation, known as Lied Actai, .
or seekers after robbers. which sets
Immediately to work in very simple
and primitive fashion.
The chief OF this corporation selects
child, and. IN the presence Of four
witnesses, gives II a beverage. the com

the child has drunk the liquid a pipe
is handed TO II. and after a few
whins. which have completed the stu
pefaction Of the unlucky creature, It Is
led out for a walk
When at last the child has stopped
before some habifafion, It is promp-
~ and very conveniently assumed that
the theft has been committed by the
tenant. who is at once arrested. The
chief Of the corporation is rewarded
for his share IN the detection Of the
presumed culprit by a commission on
the amount Of the stolen property.
Now, II happened. a little while ago. |
that the child which had ben pressed
