strike in the Bodie district this year
has been made and there is quite an
excitement in consequence. Yester-
day Ed Gray and Al Belmont return
ed from a prospecting trip and they
brought back some splendid speci.
mems OF fine gold quartz. An assay
from one OF the specimens gave re-
turns OF over 5000 to the ton. The
location OF the new find is given as
about IL OF II miles southwest OF Bo-
die, but for a few days the discover
ers desire to keep the exact spot a
secret.
AS result Of the find quite a num-
Der OF prospectors left Bodis yester-
day with a view OF getting locations
in tae same vicinity. The ore is a
white quartz, showing free gold in
large quantities. 1t fact 1t can easily
be designated as picture Iock."

the country rock is slate and pOr-
phyry.

Alb Ambrose OF Empire. has been

BIG SHELTER
TO BE BUILT

GOLDFlELD, May PA 50O-ton
smelter to be built close to the banks
of Walker Lake, and to handle the
copper ores not only of the Mine and
Luning districts, but also to treat the
sulphides OF Goldfield and the south
ern country, will have been erected
before the close OF the coming sum
mer, unless the plans of l.. l.. Pat
rick, president of the rirst National
Bank, go astray. Nevada's ores will
then see their finish on Nevada S
soil.
Telegrams We're received from Mr..
Patrick yesterday stating that every
detail had been practically arrangeh
for the mammoth enterprise, and thai
he would leave the following morning
for Goldfeld. He has Lc1n IN New
York arranging for the proper tinanc-
ing of the big deal.
Messages We're also received by
Barry Hamilton of the First National
Bank stating that he had been chosen
treasurer and resident agent of the
new organization, which will be
known as the Nevada-Pacific Copper
Company. The plant VIII treat GUS
tom ores, as well, and its completion
will mean an outlay of not less than
100000. The Maytiower will be a
heavy contributor to the smelter, be-
ing one OF the biggest propositions OF
S kind in that part OF the State.
That a "ailroad will be built to the
plant, admits of no doubt, according
The closest nlant to GoIdfield for the
proper treatmen' OF copper ores is al
salt Lake, and this means 1000 miles
OF railroad, whereas the smelter on
the shores OF Walker Lake will be
distant from this section only about
l20 mics.
The new company once in shape to
operate, will undoubtedly make spe-
cial rates on lead ores for huNlng
purposes, and this will prove a heavy
incentive to the lead producing prop
critics of the southern part OF this
State, especially Hawthorne and l.uc-
ky Boy.
Mr.. Patrick is president OF the new
company, an Ais private messages
were to the effect that there was not
one chance in a thousanu OF the smell
ter deal failing to 20 through as or
iginally planned.
BY the election of officers Mr.. l.. l..
Patrick is named president; Samuel
Hamilton, secretary treasurer and
resident agent.
Included in the negotiations just
brought to a close is the copper prop
crty which Ior some time past mas
been thte pet holding OF Mr.. Patrick,
in the vicinity OF I.uning, and which
will be an asset OF the big smeleter
company.

TIMBER IS IN
DEMAND


nons this spring in the mining camps
at Ely, Nevada. are creating an ac.
tive market for mining timbers from
the new Nevada National Forest.
waich Is the youngest member OF the
National Forest family in this dis
trict
The Nevada Forest was established
Oh February 10, last, and although
it has not yet had time to contribute
materially to the many lines OF for
est business it promises to hold it's
own with other National Forests In
this part O. the country. Judging from
the amount OF timber sale work which
has been initiated during the past
few weeks. Tae area OF the Forest
Is 1,222.312 acres including the noun
tain ranges lying around Ely. AL
though the snow in the mountains is
still several feet deep and Is more
or less OF drawback to timber op-
erations, applications are being re-
ceived every few days for timber to
be useo in the local mines.
During the past two weeks, applica-
tions have been approved by the Dis
trict Office at Ogden, Utah, for the
sale OF 100000 linear feet OF mining
timbers. The applications were made
by local men wn are contracting
u,;t hn To dol
the timber. One application for $780,
900 linear feet OF mining timber was
made by William Twiss OF Ely An.
other application for tae same am
ount was made by Frank Pistone OF
Kimberly and an application for so.
900 feet has just been made by Mes
srs. Nelson and Ircanbrack OF Ely.
Acting Forest Superintendent Math-
las with headquarters at Ely has been
notified to have this timber adver-
tised for thirty days in accordance
with the law during which bids will
ve received for the purchase OF the
timber. The price at which the tim
Der will be sold will not be determin-
ed until the bids have ~een received
but the minimum price at which any
OF it will ue sold is one and One-half
cents per linear foot.
This rate is high compared with
stumpage rates on many Nationa!
Forests, but the scarcity OF timber IN
,his region together wita the Iigh
price OF outside timber aud the great
er values produced by the mines
makes the rate only what the timber
Is worth. Lumber slipped into Ely
from outside markets varies in price
from $45 70 $65. The stumpage rate
placed on the government timber.
.owever, enables tie local men to de-
..ver it upon the Ely market at
considerably cheaper rate.
In addition to the sales mentioned.
great many sales OF small amounts.
which do not have to Oe advertised
are being made. The timber sale
work On the Nevada Forest is be-
ing handled by Acting Supervisor
Matthias and Forest Assistant Duns-
ton who were detailed from the dis
trict office to assist In placing the
timber phase OF the Forest work on
a sound basis. The manner in which
this work has been handled thus far
is very gratifying to the District or
fee and a great deal OF attention will
be given to the sales OF timber, the
proper cutting OF it. and cOnserva-
tive administration of the timber
sources in order to secure cOnIfn-
uous supply for the local develop
ment OF the country.

The Welcome Spring.

The cold north wind went on his way,
Stripping the trees quite bare,
Tattering and scattering their colder
leaves
In small heaps here and there.
Ugly and naked and bare and cold,
They moaned in their wild distress,
Longing for gay young Spring to come
And put on their garland dress.
At last young Spring came slowly in
To warm the naked trees;
The robins song was in the air,
And violets on the breeze.
Spring ruled on for many days,
In her beautiful green attire;
She was loved by everyone,
And was something to admire.
The flowers lifted up their heads
To greet the warm sunshine;
The earth seemed joyful everywhere,
The sweet Spring air sublime.
On the hillside far and near,
And in the canyons deep,
Through the earth's warm bosom,
Green grasses began to peep.
Along the warbling little brook
Small boys sat down to fish;
They had not care on earth,
Or even careless wish.
So it was with all the world
In the gay Springtime-
Every song was rhythm.
Every sentence rhyme.
