amount out in freight over the road.
This, it is believed. means an out
lay of close to $4,000 for the COM
pany. Three months work should
finish up the road.
The new road will be a great fac
tor in the development of the Men
dha Nevada mine, which will be Il
mile and a half to the nor h of the
road. This alone, 1t is believed, will
cut down the freight on the ore from
1925 a ton to Is cents. AS soon as
the road goes through 1t is probabe
that a tramway will be built from
the mine to the railroad.
This property is said to be in
creasing in size every day and the
development work is showing up the
ore body larger than ever. On the
100, 500 and 90O-foot levels the
vein and the sides have not been
reached. A Wine sunk from the
900 level is all in ore. This prop
erty promises to be one Of the big
gest propositions of the Phoebe dis
trict.
Several other properties along the
same mineral belt will begin opera
shortly. At least three other
are now beginning work
and several more will soon be
started.

THE NEW CAMP-MUCH WORK
Is BEING PLANED-CONSIDER-
ABLE ORE NOW SACKED.

GOLDF1ELD, July 12.-Another
phase of the development work be-
ing done in the Glendale district
made its appearance within the last
few days when the Cliffords and the
Nays started a tunnel from about
100 feet down the m~ountainside
from where the original rich strike
was encountered, with the intention
of catching the ore at that depth and
within $40 feet from the tunnels
portal. 1t mas been demonstrated
satisfactorily to those in charge that
the ore makes depth, but the fact
that the indications are at this time
sufficient to warrant the belief that
the vein runs almost backward and
into the hillside, gives reason for
the work now being done. 1t is be-
lieved by all those who have seer
the strike that the ore will he caught
within the estimated distance. and
by the most optimistic it is thought
that the values may ven increase.
This, however, is hardly probable
Notwithstanding the showing has be-
come better with exploration, g and
the vein followed on its dip has been
proven to an extent surprising even

owners
In the very neal future there Will
be a great deal of work lone in the
district, and, according to John
Donnellan, who returned from the
section yesterday. means h prov
ing up or dissipation of the theory
that the strike is one of the most
remarkable in the history of the
state. He states that so far there
has been very little work done. and
that the work of the parent concern,
in the event it turns out as expected,
means the life or death of the dis
trict. 1t now appears that 1T is the
intention of the discoveries of the
rich find to follow the strike to the
end, irrespective of where it may
lead: and a shaft will be sunk on

trend of the vein no matter where Il
goes.
The value of the ore already
sacked is something belonging to the
realm of speculation. but it is safe
to say that it does not fall far short
of the 800, 900 mark, and it is e

P|OCHE SECURES
RAILROAD
STEEL WILL SOON BE LAID TO
PRINCE CONSOLIDATED NINE
AND WILL MATERIALLY AID
DEVELOPMENT.

A report received from Los An
geles practically assured the build
ing of the railroad from Phoebe to
the Prince Consolidated mine,
around the mountain to the south
west. President w. A. Clark of the
San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt
Lake railroad, ras wired that plans
be made at ono for the road AMI
that it be fastened to completion at
an early late. This is taken to mean
that the road around the point of
the mountain past the Phoebe Metals,
the Demijohn, Abe Lincoln, and Sill
e Prince, and the Phoebe King will
be finished up late this fall.
But little can be ascertained here
as to what is being done or just what
will be done. The Prince CONSOLE
dated Mining company has received
no definite news, it is stated, and
knows nothing of the order said to
have beer sent.
Some time ago Ernest l.. Godbe
aud James l.. Hackett of the Prince
Consolidated Mining company left
for the east, supposedly to e Mr..
Clark and agree upon the terms for
the building of the road. Just what
the outcome of their meeting was
a only be judged from the order
sem to Los Angeles. 9t
The road will be about eight and
a half miles long and will afford an
outlet for a dozen mines to the west
and southwest of Phoebe. The prop
critics are being actively developed
and indications are that by fall
several of them will be steady ship
pers. Throughout the entire min
eral belt of that district a tremen-
dous amount of work is being done.
The Prince Consolidated mine is
looked upon by those who have visit
ed it as one of the largest mines in
the state of Nevada. Thousands
upon thousands of tons of ore have
been blocked out and there is an as
surance of steady shipping for many
years to come.
The deal is believed to have gone
through on the assurance of the
Prince Consolidated company to adj
vance the cost of grading and the
ties for the new road and take the

MOST STRENGTH AND SALES
WERE HEAVY-ELY CENTRAL
AND INSPIRATION ACAIvE.

The trading in copper stocks today
took on the proportions of a boom,
and all that was lacking was better
prices for the red metal. The gains
made by some of the leaders for this
month have been remarkable and
have a tendency to stimulate the
speculation and a still higher advance
in prices may be expected. With the
price of red metal just a shade high
er it would restore more confidence
in the copper share market. There
is a great deal of idle money to be
had at very low rates of interest.
This also is an encouragement for
spectators and investors to buy
stocks The metal market was very
dull today, with copper showing a
declining tendency and the demand
for the red metal was very light.
The foreign demand, it will be re-
called vas pretty well supplied some
time ago, and are buying
very sparingly and not contracting
ahead for large amounts. But the
sentiment among the professional
traders of copper shares is that the
red metal will sell at 1871 cents by
the end of this month. Prices of
local coppers were strong and held
around Saturdays figures. Nevada
Con-, Giroux and Ely Central were
especially strong and in good demand
at all times. These stocks have been
acting as though they. would easily
make higher levels. Giroux was the
heaviest trader in the local list to-
day, and there is considerable short
interest on this stock from $500 to
$3.50. Boston Ely, which is listed
on the Boston market, was bought
quite freely and was a shade higher
over Saturdays market. Mason Val
ley and Inspiration held fast to the

One Duluth broker who knows all
about it states In his advertisement
that the company is opening up very
large deposits of ore some of 1t be-
ing copper glance that will give rs
per cent copper. That's not bad.
He might have made it ingot. 1t is
such misleading statements as these
that go far to make people suspicious
of a proposition. Every mining man
knows that IS per cent ore is a bit
too good to be talking about. It's
pretty good glance, A few days ago
a telegram was sem about the
try saying a test of ore at the Was
hoe had yielded better than 80 per
cent. this being from Butte Alex
Scott. The telegram did not state
1t was from a small streak running
along one wall in the mine, which,
we are assured by a man connected
with the enterprise, was the fact.
The telegram was misleading. We
are told the ore of the property thus
far developed averages 5 per cent
which is certainly good enough.
Many people wondered why this
streak was gathered and tent to the

shown it was rich enough to pay for
mining. The assays would have
proved that. 1t may be the manage
ment wished to decide if it could be
handled in the smelter because of it's
extreme richness. We do not know
as to that as the kilograms announc-
ing its value did not say why it was
tested. Just a little more care in
these things might save the manage
ment criticism which appear to be
deserved.&Iron ore.

Sanitary Institute, says the pollution Of
milk by the fly is responsible for the
death of many children. The fly is
specially fond of milk and plants bac-
terra in it which breeds rapidly. Milk is
thus infected not only in the city homes
where 1t is carelessly exposed. but at
farms before it is brought to the city.
Practically all dairymen keep horses and
usually the horse stables are near the
COW sheds. In this way the flies, breeding
in the stables. fly directly to the milk.
In the crusade which the United States
Department of Agriculture is now wag-
ing against the fly in this country the
first recommendation is to destroy the
breeding places. Kerosene oil or COM
mon salt thrown over places where the
fly is wont to lay her eggs will help in
the determination. All stable sweepings
should be Immediately carried away. or
confined in tight receptacle until they
can be removed. Pour kerosene into the
drains. Do not allow decaying material
of any sort to accumulate on or near
your premises. Keep the garbage pail
clean, carefully covered and scalding
daily or sprinkling with lime or oil. Burn
