LEDGE OF RICH GOLD ORE
FOUND AT DESERT CREEK

camp near the head of Desert creek,
equipped with a good assay outfit and
plenty of tools and provisions and with
the full determination of finding the
ledge that mad furnished the float and
fine gold that has been found along
the creek for a distance of 80 miles.
After two months Of diligent search,
their efforts were rewarded by the
discovery of the ledge in place which
yielded the above named assays. They
are now hard at work to gain depth in
the shaft which improves with every
blast.
There is plenty of timber, wood
and water in the new district for
domestic and mining purposes to last
for years. 1t is within tour miles of
the place where the California; Nevada
Power company has located a power
site and where it is expected to gener-
ate thousands of horse power for custom
use. This power win furnish the mine
owners with cheap power as water -
in ample supply for mill purposes in
the entire district.

tice. The congress will meet on Sep
tember % and continue five days. To
mining engineers the desert paradise
will not be a novelty, but to many
delegates from Eastern localities where
large coal measures abound in agricul-
tural states, the experience will be rich
in research and knowledge.
Among the subjects for discussion by
the congress will be "vertical Side
Lines.v ssCoal Tax Insurance Fund"
.sGeneraI Revision of Mining Laws"
Standardization of Electrical Equip
ment,'' prevention of Mine Acct
dents,'' "National Forest Service -
and "Alaskan Mining Laws
All of these subjects are important,
but the first named Vertical Side
Lines'-is the most seriously important
in safeguarding location and develop
ment in districts that produce precious
metals. The intent of. the law is now
good, but it's operation and enforce
ment are bad. In a field where nearly
every square foot of territory is located,
and development gives promise of luc-
rative results, there is dispute, and
frequently long, expensive and disas-
trous litigation over the rights of own
ers in following veins and lodges N
foreground. There is no trouble about
side lines in Mexico. In that country
a vertical line means just what it says,
and claims must also have square cor
ners. What is straight down cannot
be worked by any person except thu
owner or lessee, and cannot be gouged
or stolen by invasion from adjoining
claims. Thus the government protects
legitimate mining. There is equal de-
sire and necessity for such uniform
regulation in all of the mining districts
of the United States, and practical
operators will be disappointed if the
congress at Goldfeld does not point the
way for laws that will be enforced,
This, and much more, is expected of
the Twelfth American Mining Con
gress.
Goldfeld, and Nevada as a whole,
have made great preparations for en-
tertaining the congress-. The "battle-
born state will show the country at

CONSOLIDATION OF GREAT

atory nature could be gained from
either Nevada Utah or Ohio Kentucky
sources, the story began to be doubted;
the behalf having been expressed that
the report was at least premature.
Since then, Mr.. Prudential has wired
that the contents of his first mes
sage were absolutely correct.
But ON the top of this, instructions
have come from New York headquar-
tiers of the Nevada Utah to get up
steam at No. l shaft; while Super
intendent Lloyd of the Ohio Kentucky,
has received orders to resume work in
the Susan Buster mine; which he ex-
poets to do tomorrow morning.
As both mines have been idle fol
sometime, it will be necessary to clean
out the underground workings, do some
re-timbering and otherwise get them in
order for the campaign of production
ahead.

INTEREST IN THE MINING
CONGRESS BECOMING KEEN

1t took some little time 70 awaken
the proper amount of interest in the
sessions of the American Congress that
will be held in Goldfeld, but now that
interest has been started, it is growing
by leaps and bounds. Among other
publications boosting for the congress,
we take the following from the col
umns of the Pacific Miner, published in
San Francisco:
The American Mining Congress has
grown to be an immense factor in the
greatest of productive commercial en-
terprises. Its scope is larger, and its
eleven years of Elaboration have
evolved important results from brainy
conceptions. While the entire world OF
mining contributes to it's practical
knowledge, the congress is a distinctive
American institution which lends in
fIuence to legislation and commands
support in government circles. 1t is
an agency of better laws for p~rospector,
operator and miner. 1t advocates re-
forms and improvements in safety and
health conditions, and discusses, in the
light of experience and science, meth
DDS and plans for advancing and i'm
proving every branch of the industry.
Mining is so vastly diversified in the
United States that the yearly work
blocked out for the congress makes the
body cosmopolitan in character and
somewhat unwieldy in elaboration.
More subjects are usually considered,
ranging from coal to gold, than can
be given that thorough attention which
zach particular branch Of raining de-
mands; yet the work focuses upon the
industry as a whole, and, from the dis
cussions by practical men, advanced
ideas become concrete policies. Thus
the influence extends to state and Ma
tional halls of legislation.
A year G the congress met in Pitts
burg, the controlling center of coal
mining. Conditions which exist in that
particular branch of mining are not
encountered in the Western mining dis
~tricts; hence the deliberations in 1905
did not so largely interest the men on
the frontier who are engaged in de-
veloping a prospect. into a mine in the
fields of gold, silver and copper. 1t
was wisely deemed best to take the
congress this year into the actual field
of operations; hence Goldfeld, Nevada,
was selected as being n of the high
est types of modern gold mining prac.

Tule Canyon is chiefly famous for its
placers. 1t has beer known for years
as a veritable treasure house, having
been discovered by Mexicans and work

Pine, and was credited to California
There is still some gold being takeI

Big Companies Getting In
Lately the most valuable placer
ground has been acquired by larger
concerns, the most prominent one being
the Silver Crescent Placer and Quart

and Iowa capitalists. They own five
