The operations which have been

during the week without any par

strong body of quartz with seams
of good ore running through it. On
the 400-foot level the intermediate
drift was extended along two feet of
good ore with about the same
amount showing in the face. The
north crosscut is still in quartz of
good values. The big ore body is

IN the dining room, there are 6so
square feet of table space. which
will be enlarged upon If it becomes
necessary.
The commission is anxious that
all exhibitors will have their oros

After that time it will be Impossible
to guarantee a proper classification
Parties will govern themselves ac-
cordingly and act at once. The cat
alogue will be placed in the hands
of the state printer on the date men
toned. As 1t will require some
time to print the catalogue, it viii
be seen that delays will seriously
Interfere.
Mr.. Smith states that the exhibit
at the present time is a magnificent
one. With the additions now on
the way to Goldfeld, it is safe ia
say that never before in the historv
of mining has a more beautiful and
costly collection of pres been got to-
gether.
Tonopah will be allotted a yery
prominent place. The exhibit from
this district is one of the finest that
will be seen at the congress. State
Mine Inspector Ed Stuart has writ
ten to Mr.. Smith that he has se-
cured the model Of the first square
set ever introduced in the mining
world. 1t is the property of the
Consolidated California and Virginia
mine, on the old Comstock. The
letter states that the model is to be
placed with the Nye county exhibit.
Just what the reason for this Is is
not stated. However, 1t will be a
valuable addition.
There is not the slightest doubt Of
the success of the congress. Word
from the outside is to the effect
that there will be an attendance Of
at least 1000 people.

BRYAN MAY TAKE
OVER RICKARD LEASE

It Is understood upon good au-
thority that the well known Rick
ard-Garberg lease has passed TO the
control of J. r. Bryan, the man who
made a mine of the big Pioneer
lease. Tex Richard has been the
inspiring genius of the enterprise.
A month ago he failed to meet his
pay roll and the ball ceased to spin.
About the same time he left for Ely,
where his agents had just completed
a sale that was to net him about
$4,000. Since that time no effort
has been made to develop the
ground. Should J. r. Bryan take
hold, as he is reported to have done
now, and obtain an extension Of the
lease to cover the time lost, it will
be as good a proposition as was
formerly promised.
Some 700 feet of work has been
done to date. The lease is equipped
with the best of machinery, with a
compressor and outfit complete. 1t
is the choicest location in the camp
after that of the big lease. The ore
now in sight, despite the dead work
that has been done, Is sufficient, it
would seem to meet current eX-
penses.

MINERAL EXHIBITS AT MINING
CONGRESS WILL Be. GREAT

According to Branch Smith, one
of the official solicitors of specimens
for the American Mining congress,
Goldfeld is going to have on dis
play unquestionably the finest ex-
hibit of mineral-bearing ores that
the eyes of man ever gazed upon.
Goldfield is fairly outdoing itself
in its efforts to make the congress-
an unqualified success. The spacious
dining room of the Casey hotel has
been transformed into what has been
termed the Mineral Palace" while
the Office and bar DON each will
contain valuable exhibits.
Traversing the center of the din
ing room is a cabinet thirty-seven
feet long, three feet wide and in the
neighborhood of six feet high. 1t is
Enclosed in glass and contains fifty
square yards of space. The shelves
are covered with muslin, making an
excellent light effect. In the even
ings the exhibit will be illuminated
with 112 92-candlepower lights. This
cabinet will contain the high-grade
ore and will be sealed.
The Office will be used for those
specimens that are to be turned
over to the Mackay school Of mines
at the Nevada state university, while
the barroom will house the magnif-
cent collection of Mrs. Helen Schnei-
der of Eureka, Nevada. This col
lection is valued It $50, 1t has
been on display at the principal ex-
positions held in the United States
in the last twenty years. Mrs
Schneider's husband was a collector
of ore specimens and spent many
years in the gathering of the sam
pies. 1t alone would make an at
traction well worth going many
miles to see.

PIONEER CASE is
is SET FOR MONDAY

The Pioneer lease has start
ed lateral work at the new level in
the winze. The depth is 1873 feet
below the surface. Drifts have been
started both ways on the vein. The
drift to the south should open the
famous Pioneer ore shoot at the
new level within a few days. Ship
ments from the old stope above con-
tinue at the rate of about thirty tons
per day. Sinking will continue to
the ultimate depth of 500 feet in
this winze.
The dividend declared by this
company is still tied up by the
courts order in the local bank. All
proceedings as affect this matter are
in abayance pending the disposition
of the case at Carson City wherein
the Pioneer Leasing and Milling
company is plaintiff and the Indiana
Nevada and other parties are de-
PENDANTS. This case has been post
poned until August 16, owing to the
inability of Charles Thomas, of
counsel with the leasing company, to
attend at the former date. The
plaintiffs in this case are c%onfiden.
of a speedy decision in their favor
and in the meantime they are min
ing diligently and piling up the

Nay is in From
Georges Canyon

o. B. Nay was an arrival yester.
day from Georges canyon. In an
interview with a representative OF
the Bonanza he stated that the can
yon, as it is Familiarity called, is
looking splendid. New strikes are
being made from day to day ana
while the operators there are not
DESTROYS of undue publicity, it is
but right to say that the time is not
far distant when Georges canyon
will take its place among the pre-
meir camps of the state.
4 At the present time there are in
the neighborhood of sixty people in
the district, all of whom are busily
engaged in the work of opening up
their properties. There are MANI
~leasers at work. In every instance
the men are working in ore of a
good grade with brilliant prospects
for opening up high-grade.
There is considerable travel to
the camp of late, says Mr.. Nay, due
to the excellent reports which have
emanated from there of late. Capt.
tai is in no n averse to in
vesting there. Some deals are at
the present time in the embryotic
state. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the options will be takel
up and that before long capital will
be energetically opening up the dis
trict.
. The new road to the camp is be.
ing rapidly completed. Within a
week it will be open to travel.
Everyone has lent a hand in the
work with the result that the high
way is one of the best in this sec
ton.
Up to this time the townsite has
not been christened. 1t has been
plated and lots will be thrown up
on the market within a very short
time the people behind the
townsite are holding back until
such a time as the future of the
camp is really assured. 1t is not
their intention to get the peoples
money without assuring them a rea-
sonable amount of security. Those
who have seen the district pro-
~nounce it one of the most prom
Using in the state. A good town
will undoubtedly spring up in the
neighborhood, backed by mines that
will produce for many years.

TOWNSITE AT GEORGES
CANYON is CHRISTENED

At last the townsite at Georges
canyon has been christened. 1t will
be known as Marsh. For several
weeks the discoveries of that to be
famous section have been studying
the matter of naming the camp that
is to occupy a central position in
the m~ineralized zone.
Marsh comes from the original
discoverer of the district, William
Marsh; that is, one of the original
discoveries, he and Harry Stimler
being the first ones to find ore
there. Mr.. Marsh and Mr.. Stimler
were also the discoveries Of Gold
field. They have been associated in
business for years.
William Mikulich will have the
handling of the townsite. Already
there is quite a demand for Marsh
real estate, but 1t will be several
days before the townsite is thrown
open.

GEORGES CANYON Is
INSPECTED BY BIG ENGINEER

Richard Comfy, formerly super-
intendent Of the Mckenzie lease on
the Mohawk at G%oldfeld, arrived in
town yesterday afternoon from
Georges canyon, having been com
PEELED to walk the last twenty miles
Of the route because OF an automo-
bile breakdown.
Mr.. Conley, who is a mining man
of standing and many years exper-
fence, speaks very kindly Of that
section. He expresses as his belief
that Georges canyon cannot fail to
make good. The showings, he says,
warrants the prediction hat Marsh,
the name Of the camp there, will be-
come n OF the best mes in Ne
vada as soon as the district is thor
oughly opened up.
at is a section Of many advant-
ages, according to Mr.. Comfy. An
abundance of wood and water makes
it possible for the reduction of pres
at a minimum. He was particular
ly impressed with the energy the
operators there are manifesting.
There are no loafers in the district
each of the property owners con-
sci%entiously at work developing his
possessions with a vim.
Mr.. Comfy is of the opinion that
the district will prove to be enc of
large extent. There are any num-
Der of lodges carrying good values.
One of the characteristics of the dis
trict is the fact that in nearly every
instance the lodges widen with
depth, In many properties the sur
face indications showed nothing
more than a %stringer, while with
depth these s~tringers have widened
out materially.
While the ore in a number Of To-
c~alities show ~high-grade values, Mr..
Comfy is OF the opinion that the dis
trict will be a gigantic low-grade
milling proposition which will ulti-
mately result in a wonderful pro-
duction.
Capital will soon be heading in
the direction of Georges canyon, ac-
cording to Mr.. Comfy. He further
says that much of the money that
goes in that direction will find in
vestment there.
Mr.. Comfy departed yesterday aft
ernoon for his Goldfeld home. He
will make a favorable report on
Georges canyon and will probably
return there within the next few
weeks. Mr.. Comfy did not state
whether or not he had secured any
interests there, nor did he give out
any information as to whom he rep
resented, although It is generally
conceded that his Investigations
were at the request of several of
the larger Goldheld operators.

FROM AFFAIR TO STUDY
MINING IN NEVADA STATE

That the state OF Nevada is gen
orally recognized as the home of
modern methods in mining, is evi-
denced by the fact that it is the
mecca of mining men from all over
the world who are particularly in
terested in the most up-to-date
methods of ore treatment.
The latest arrival of prominence
to invade these parts is Mr.. Y. Koo-
man, who registered at the Hotel
Manhattan from Batavia, East In.
dia, day before yesterday. He de-
parted yesterday for San Francisco.
where he will take a steamer for
his home.
Mr.. Kooman is a very pleasant
gentlemen. He is sent out by a
group of operators holding large in
terests on the islands of Java and
Sumatra. He is a mining engineer
by profession and has seen service
in many of the large fields of the
European countries. He zane here
ostensibly for the purpose of study
ing the methods of ore treatment in
vogue in the state of Nevada. He
was astounded, he said, at the mag
nitude of the southern part of this
state. Were ten years younger
said he, Il would pack up my goods
and together with my family would
make this state my home. The OPP
portunities in a mining way here are
innumerable. 1t is no wonder that
the world has come to recognize Ne;
vada so thoroughly.
My trip here at this time is to
look over the mining situation in
general, but my attentions have been
confined principally to ore treat
ment. The company which l repre-
sent is working a number of prop
critics on the islands of Java and
Sumatra. We are able to save about
70 per cent of the values by the free
milling process, but 80 per cent is
lost. We have tried the cyanide
process, but to no avail. I am in
this state to inquire if under the
methods of ore treatment involved
here whether we may be able to
save nearly all the values"
Mr.. Kooman was shown through
the Montana-Tonopah mill. He pro-
nounced it one of the best he had
seen in his travels. He studied it
thoroughly and will likely test his
ore by similar treatment as employ
ed in the local mill.
Mr.. Krooman arrived in America
by way of New York, but will re-
turn home by way of the Pacific.
He visited a number of the more
important camps in Nevada. includ-
ing the old Comstock. He is more
than infatuated with the state as a
whole and will be a consistent boost
er on account of his visit.

MEN CHARGED WITH
MURDER IN LOCAL JAIL

All records of the Nye county Jail
have been broken so far as the num-
Der of prisoners therein charged
with murder is concerned. At the
present time there are four men be-
hind the bars in the court house on
the hill who, if found guilty of muir
der in the first degree, will have to
answer for their crimes with their
lives.
Two of the prisoners are from the
adjoining county of Esmeralda,
while the other two are held to
answer for killings in this county.
For some time past an Indian and
a Mexican have been in durance vile
in the jail for murders con mitted
on the desert out from Rhynl re and
charged to them. Each was bound
over by the grand jury. They are
now awaiting trial.
Sheridan, another of the men
charged with murder, was brought
over from Goldield at the time Pat
rick Casey was hurried across the
desert to the county seal of Nye
county to prevent an angry mob
from meteing out summary judg-
ment.
Sheridan is communicative con
corning his crime. Before the
trouble came upon him he was gem
orally respected. Friends Of the
couple say that the domestic rela-
lions of himself and wife were of
the most harmonious order. Each
seemed to bask in the sunshine of
the others affections. One night
he went home in a condition of
drunkenness. When eating time
arrived several attempts we're made
to arouse him. Finally he arose
and with butcher knife in hand at
tackled his wife, with the result that
she died from the injuries received.
He was arrested and is awaiting
trial. Sheridan still has many
friends who are working in his be-
half. He looks forward to favor
able consideration by a jury of his
peers.
The crime which placed Patrick
Casey behind the bars is of too re-
cent occurrence to warrant a recital
in these columns.
The Mexican is there because he
is accused of having killed two
white men near the California line
and within the county of Nye. He
is unable to speak understandingly
in English, consequently 1t is i'm
possible to CLEAN the facts from him.
1t is alleged that he was associated
with another in the crime, but up
to this time the man who assisted
in the murder has not been found.
The fourth is an Indian said to
have murdered another Of his race

they are true, reveal a tale of blood

thirstiness surpassed only in its
brutal aspects by the Casey tragedy.
Time will tell the story. The
days leading up to the trial will
measure as years to those who are
on the seat of anxiousness wonder
ing, mo doubt, whether freedom,
life imprisonment or death awaits
the recital of the case against them.

STAY AWAY FROM ELY.

The miners union of Ely has sent
