subIeases on Moctezuma

NACOZARI, May 16.-J. G. Alexan-
der, who is now working the San Pedro
mine under lease from the Moctezuma
Copper company, is starting a system
of subleases, and reports splendid re-
suits. His grade ore has been opened
up in three places on the surface, and
in two places in the old working tunnel.
while the cross-eut from the 4OO-foot
station is expected to break into ore
at any minute.
Mr.. Alexander reports that in the
Nacozari Consolidated Copper COM
panys main working a tunnel on the
La Galera, claim work is progressing
satisfactorily and that the contact
should be cut within thirty days. They
hope to open up at depth the ore bodies
worked above by the antiguas.

MINE
DELIVERS HIGH GRADE
VALUES OF $4,000 ARE
PLACED IN BANK
Second Four=Team Wagon Shipment
Within Month Makes Total of
100000 from Allegheny
Property

GRASS VALLEY. May 16. - The
usual Sunday afternoon quiet of this
city was somewhat ruffled by a slight
ripple of excitement which caused the
people to gather in front of the Citizens
bank to watch the unloading of twenty
one sacks of ore valued at between
$125,00 and $4,000 from the now famous
SiXteen-to-One mine at Allegheny.
For the second time within a month
this now celebrated mine has sent down
a wagonload of "jewelry store" rock.
When the four-horse team drove up to
the door of the Citizens bank by
ISLANDERS knew in moment what it
contained and whence it came. The
word, Another load of rock from the
Sixteen to- One has just been brought
in," caused the curious to hasten to-
ward the bank. AS bag after bag was
carried into the bank and placed in the
vaults speculation was rife as to its
value E. H. Wilson, the manager Of
the mine, estimates the value of the
ore as above stated.
As is now we'll known to everyone,
the Sixteen to-One mine is situated at
Allegheny, in Sierra county, about
thirty-five miles from Nevada City.
Since April 1, when the pay chute was
struck, the mine has produced some
thing over 100000.
The main tunnel of the mine, which
is seven feet high by five feet wide in
the clear. is i'm the main ore body and
the chute remains apparently un-
changed as far as values are con-
cerned. Prospecting work above FOR
twelve feet and below for fifteen feet
discloses the fact that the rich ore con-
tinues both above and below the tunnel
and the ore in sight is estimated to be
worth close to $500,000
There are ten men employed in the
mine at the presnt time, and since
April 1S, when the first load of rock was
brought to town, they have taken from
the mine ore to the value of upward
of S130,00O. The ore contains both free
gold and sulphurets of very high
grade.

AND ARIZONA
MAKES FIRST SHIPMENT

BISBEE, May 16-The Wolverine and
Arizona company has started shipping
ore to the Copper Queen smelter Of
Douglas. There are about 500 tons
of good ore on the dump taken out in
the course of development, and this is
being freighted down from the mine to
the Southwestern tracks.
This is the first shipment of ore by
the Wolverine and Arizona, and it is
probable that by the time the copper
metal market has become normal the
company will be a regular shipper.
The Wolverine and Arizona is devel-
oping a large body of oxides at the old
diamond drill holes, and its dimensions
at present are reported to be 100 by
100 feet. The company also has a
body of silver-lead ore which is being
further explored by an incline Winze,
which is now so feet deep, and verti-
cal Winze which is now 40 feet deep.
The tunnel has reached a distance of
1925 feet. at which point driving has
been suspended temporarily.

Discovery on Ranch in Sonora Assays
$1,000 in Gold and SiIver-Ore
Taken Out Averages
$4o0

DOUGLAS, May 16.-Frank Watt ar
rived in town last week from his ranch
in Sonora and brought news of a SEN
sational strike made in the Tabata-
cochi district about ten days ago by
two Mexicans.
The Mexicans had been working on
a farm on a small scale for a number
of years, eking out rather scant liv-
ing, and this summer it was somewhat
worse than usual on account of the
small rainfall. They decided to try
thelr hand at placer mining on an old
proposition near their farm that had
been worked many years ago. They
hadn't been at it long when they
knocked off a piece of rock that made
a fine showing and in a short time they
mad traced a ledge from two to three
feet wide, forty feet high and which
they could trace for 200 yards
In a short time the news spread and
Fife and Vickroy, who are working a
mine in that district, after making an
examination of the find offered the
Mexicans $4,000 in gold for the prop
erty, which was accepted, paying 25
per cent in cash before the discovery
had been surveyed.
Assays from the ore run as high as
@lVVO III SOlu anu SILVER ana already
considerable ore has been taken out
that will average $4OO to the ton.
The new find is within a few hundred
yards of the MeXicans' house where
they have been living for a number of
years.
Mr.. Watts said he had grubstaked a
couple of men to prospect in the vicin-
ity of the new field, in the hope that
they might run across something equal
ly as good.

BISBEE, May 16.-The Greene Cana
nea Copper company's subsidiaries
Greene Consolidated and Cananea Cen
tral-produced in April 1878 tons of
bullion, against 2000 tons in March.
The slight loss of twenty-seven tons
i'm bullion was accounted for by the fact
that there was one less working day
than in March. The precious metal COLI
tents of the bullion ran extremely high,
resulting in the best silver yield thus
far recorded in a single month, while
twice before.

The University of Utah has sue
ceeded in securing William r. Ham
as a successor to DR.. L. ". Hartman,
who leaves for Reno at the close of the
summer school. to become the head of
the department of physics at the Uni
versity Of Nevada. MI Ham is recon-
mended highly by the authorities in
charge of the Ryerson physical labora-
tory at the University of Chicago.
The appointee is an arts graduate of
Bates college, Maine, and has pursued
graduate work at Harvard and the Uni

the Central High school, St. Louis, and
then was an instructor in electrical en-

time has pursued graduate work with
marked success. Concerning his studies
and researches, which il is expected Will
win for him the doctorate of philosophy
at Chicago this summer. Professor Mil
likan writes: Mr.. Ham is one of the
strongest and most independent re-
search men whom we have ever had
i'm the laboratory. His thesis work on
'X-rays' is sure to make his name
known, not only in this country, but
also i'm Europe. 1t is a very distinct
contribution to our knowledge of the
subject. Mr. Ham is the sort Of a man
who viii carry on his research work

That the University of Utah was for
tunate in getting Mr. Ham is indicated
by the fact that within less than an

BAKER AFTER

REPUBLICANS

Frank r. Baker formally an
nounced his candidacy for con-
gress through the papers today.
rhe efforts of the Cannon-Aldrich
stand-pat type of politicians to
frame things up to send another
man to Washington to represent
orporate greed as against the
public interest has stirred the old
Roosevelt guard of progressives in
Tacoma, and Baker believes they
will line up for him. At the pres
ent writing the contest appears
to be rather framing up for a pret-
ty fight between the forces whose
slogan is always special priyi-
leges and anything to help the
party and the trusts" and the new
type Of Roosevelt republicanism,
which stands for a square deal for
the common people as against the
illegal encroachments of the com
bines.

ISN'T FRANK THE
AMBITIOUS
YOUTH7

Frank Latcham insists his can
didacy for congress is not a joke,
and he says he will show the old
Ter boys in the contest few tricks
yet. He has issued a new card
with his slogan at the top bearing
the mystic alliteration-"Labor,
Lumber, Latcham." but nobody
seems to know what it means.
Some of the people have been
trying to discourage Frank, tell
ing him he is too young and lacks
experience, and that he ought to
wait and grow into a more pro-
found state of mind before tack
ling congress, but Frank says he
will get. the Job, and then grow to
fit 1t. He says a young fellow is
the stuff for congress.
