COLE TELLS STOCKHOLDERS
CONDITION OF GIROUX MINE

There was a surprise in store for the
stockholders of the Giroux Consolidat-
ed Copper Mines company who attended
the c%ompany's annual meeting this
week in the shape of an informal talk
bv Thomas +. Cole of Duluth, who has
recently become a big stakeholder in
the organization, on the merits of their
property, says the New York Mining
Age.
Il made a personal examination OF
the Ely mines of the Giroux company,
said Mr.. Cole, ''and found the condi-
uons most tlattering. All the workings
on the 1200-foot level are now in a ear

very thorough examination before we
undertake the improvements we have
in mind in order to be satisfied that
we are going ahead in the right direc-
ton.

of problems in front of us, but we are
going to handle them and overcome
them as we encounter them. We are

The Syndicate Mill.

The Klinker syndicate is prepared to
upon the erection of a 2O-stamp
mill prior to April Is. Recently, in
Los Angeles, General Manager f. c.
Klinker signed a contract with the m.s-
chinery people for delivery of the equip
ment on or before the date state
above. That the terms of contract do
not call for an earlier delivery is due
to the fact that the syndicate is CO.
operating with Mr.. Charles w. Reed,
president of the Rawhide Western raIl
way, in his effort to finance that enter
prise. Should success be his in reason
able length of time the mill in question
will be established in the vicinity OF
Schurz. If not, it will be erected on
the flat south of the Rawhide townsita.
1t is the purpose to construct a galvaL-
lied iron building large enough to per-
NIT the placing of 30 stamps, although
the primal equipment will consist of
but two 10-stamp batteries. Six con

HIGH GRADE VALUES In
BIG CHIEF AT HART, CAL.

The past week has witnessed another
big strike in the Hart district, this
time bringing into the limelight more
prominently than ever before that see
ton commonly known as Big Chief hill,
upon which the Big Chief company,
Hammer, Pfunder and associates and
Todhunter & Felix own valuable lease
holds. The strike referred to was
made Thursday in the north drift FROM
the 600-foot point of the tunnel, which
is being run through Big Chief ground
by Ptunder and associates, under the
management of Charles Hammer, for
the purpose of gaining access into their
ground, adjoining the Big Chief estate
ON the north.
The drift is in about 81 feet, and
for several days previous to the opening
of the bonanza had been in good mil
ing values. Thursday evening, how
ever, after the day shift had fired the
usual round of holes, an examination
of the breast of the drift showed that
the high-grade streak, which has been
followed from the main tunnel, had
widened to four or five inches, from
which paintings throwing a golden rib
bon of colors completely c~ireling the
pan were obtained.
Yesterday friday morning the en-
tire face of the drift was averaging 1T
least 500 per ton, while the high
grade streak was running as high rs
$4,000 to the ton. The fortunate
~lessees have just about reached their
line, and every shot is exposing the
rich shoot to better advantage. The
formation is perfectly true, and runs
north and south, with the ore-body dip.

MANY FREE GOLD SPECIMENS
IN ORE FROM GOOD HOPE

A lot of some 90 tons of ore was
hauled over from the Good Hope this
week and worked in the Homestead
mill. This ore is the result of recent
prospecting and came from near the
surface. 1t is credited with being high
grade and containing many specimen
pieces. 1t is said that during a single
day no less than 20 free gold specimens
were picked up.
Monday marked the first cleanup at
the mill and several interested parties
were in attendance, namely, G. Fred

BATTLE MOUNTAIN MINES
ARE BOUGHT BY IOWA MEN

The Nash Macdonald property in
Copper Basin eight miles from here Vas
examined this week by George w. Hart
ley, in the interest of a syndicate of
Des Moines capitalists, says the Bat
tie Mountain Herald. The property is
at present under bond to the Des
Moines people from II. e. Taylor an !
others.
Mr.. Hartley stated that he was well
pleased with the showings and that
he had no doubt but that the property
would be taken over as soon as his re-
port was made to the company.
Work on the property is to begin at
an early date, and as the people who
have the ground under bond nave the
money to push rapid development there
would seem little doubt as to the future
of this property as a rich producer.
During his visit Mr.. Hartley also
made an examination of the Peggy
group, situated in the gold belt near
the Golden Era. The Peggy was pur-
chased by Iowa people some months
ago at a strictly cash consideration.
The Herald understands that Mr..
Hartly was favorably impressed with
the property and so reported to his
company, recommending that the prop
erty be developed and the ore showing
at the surface be proven to sufficient
depth to justify the building Of a mill.
He stated that there were a number of
parallel veins traversing the claims
northerly and southerly, with a west
dip. These veins run in width from
three to several feet, in some instances
their exact proportions not having
been determined by present develop-
ment.
The values are gold, and are in much
the same state as on the Golden Era.
and are apparently on the same vein

Truitt-R Plant.

Over near SchurZ, on the bank of
Walker river, the Truitt Rankin mill
is grinding continuously on ores from
the Rawhide Mining district. 1t en-
tered upon it's labors about four months
ago and has been on the job ever since.
Most of the quartz being reduced Is
coming from the estate of the Coalition
company. The Mint, Grutt Hill Coat
ton, Grutt-Hard and Marigold lease
arrangements have in the past consign-
ed a considerable tonnage thereto ami
will, doubtless, continue so to do. The
Victor lease on the Coalition is billing
ore to the Truitt- Rankin plant just as
fast as arrangements can be made for
it's reduction. AS dumped in the re-
c~eiving bins the quartz has an average
value of $35 per ton. Superintendent
Frank McKclvey states that the north
south bearing ledge encountered lass
week west from the shaft So feet OF.
the 200-foot level has a width of 70
feet and an average value of So peg
ton. Three feet of ore exposed in the
upraise in the east-west ledge on that
level breaks an average of 5000 the
ton, while foul feet of ore exposed IN
the upraise in the sans ledge on the
125-foot level has an average value OF
$37 the ton.

Rawhide, New, Feb. 24.-At appears
reasonably certain that at, least two
more reduction plants will have been
established here by early summer. One
of them-the King-is already undergo
ing construction, while a contract for
machinery has been closed for the other
that contemplated by the Klinker syn
dictate, owner of two valuable lease
holds on the estate of the Rawhide
Coalition Mines company. 1t is expect
ed to have the King mill in operation
by mid-April. Not later than June il
is the maximum limit set for the initial
run on ore at the Klinker syndicate
plant. The first mentioned will have n
daily reduction capacity of $50 tons of
ore, and the last mentioned a daily
reduction capacity of 100 tons of ore.
Work Being Pushed.
Ten and twenty mule teams are en-
gagged in freighting lumber and. ma.
ehinery to the site of the King mill
from railway terminal at Fallon. Much
of the building material is already on
the ground and is being sawed, fitted
and otherwise fashioned for immediate
erection. A large force of men and
teams is engaged in grading a road
to the site, excavation FOR foundations
is partially completed, and the work
preliminary to setting the bases for the
is finished. Three carloads
of machinery are due to arrive in Fai-
Ion from San Francisco the present
week, two more carloads left that point
on Wednesday and yet two other ear
loads will be billed out from the coast
metropolis some time next week. A
supply more than adequate for
needs mas beer secured by sink
ing a well a depth of l40 feet in the flat
south of the TOWNSHIP. 1t is to be erect
ed on the apex of a hill near the mill,
and will be raised to that elevation b.
the agency of a triplcx pump, from
to the plant it will be piped by
gravity.

Gently signed by the management OF
the Klinkcr syndicate and that of the
Rawhide Coalition Mines company 1t
is obligatory upon the first mentioned
to sink a shaft to a depth of 500 feet
within Is months on both the Klinker
and King Hill leases, and to establish
the milling plant at either Sehurz or
here within the 90 days. A detailed
account of the scope and specifications
of the contract was contained in recent
dispatches from your correspondent AZ
this point. In brief, the bond nomi-'
mates that the leases mentioned shall
run for a period of five years; that the
Coalition compan shall he permitted
to utilize the shafts on the Klinker an
King Hill leases as mediums for IN
speeting and developing adjacent
blocks; that the syndicate established a
maximum ore reduction rate of IS the
ton and meet all competition for =
period of five years subsequent to com
pletion of the mill.
Source of Ore Supply.
In the reduction of ores those com
ing from the company and the various
lessee workings on the Coalition estate
are to be given preference, although ii
is not mandatory that ores from other
properties be not treated. 1t appears
certain, however, that but little tonnage
other thar Coalition will find room in
the receiving bins as that estate is to
day in position to output daily without
effort at least 100 tons of milling grade
quartz in addition to its production OF
shipping grade. In the opinion of your
correspondent the combined output OF
milling rock from the Truett, the NIL
Ter, the Portland, the Yellowstone, the
Proskey No. l, the Victor, the Grutt-
Hard, the Marigold, the Truitt, the
Mint and the Grutt Hill Coalition
Ieaseholds will more than tax the int
tial capacity Of the plant; and that It
will do so for a considerable perloi
without recourse to the opening up Of
new ground. Mining men conversant
with the ore dispositions OF the Coali-
ton estate opine that a plant of 100
tons daily capacity, or even one of 10
tons capacity, will be found woefuliy
inadequate to cope with the dlurnai
production of the property within the
passing of the current year.
The Murray Mill.
The Murray mill --latest of local re,
duction plants to get busy-is working
smoothly and is crushing an average OF
80 tons of ole per day. Two clean-uns
have already been made, the more re
cent representing a run of five days
and amounting to $1,000 worth of bul-
The value of the latter indicates
that the ore going to stamp has an
value of $40 the ton. In recent
dispatches your correspondent esfi-
mated it's value at SIS the ton. 1t is
asserted by the management that the
plant is saving 90 per cent of the pre-
cious metal secretions, and that it is
to be doubled in capacity during the
summer. All ores thus far reduced
were mined in the Murray lease work
ings on Murray hill. 1t appears proba-

stantly supply the stamps with grist-

Fossils.

French Psychologists are greatly excited
over the discovery in the department of
Dordogne Of fossil human skeleton In
the stratum of the lower middle post
tertiary period, which dates back at least
10000 years. This is an extreme case
but 1t is by no means a stupendous dis
covery. There are fossils Of the human
kind to be found in every part of the
world, people who belong to ancient times
but who by some freak are taking their
part in the present activities of the race
Some OF these men belong to the revolu-
tionary period. some to the dark ages and
some are clearly members of the race Of
cave jewellers. They wear modern clothes
and eat modern foods, but they think
along stone-age lines.
The scientific Psychologists conduct their
explorations with picks and shovels, but
the seeker after living fossils needs no
such tools. A few questions will quickly
unearth the living relic Of the past. These
people are absolutely unable to progress.
What has been Is best to them. They
love to talk about the good old days"
when everything was different and slower
and simpler and. though they do not con-

tive. Yet II they were put back into the
conditions of q century ago or more. with
a knowledge of what exists today in the
way of advantages and facilities. they

more surely for the happiness of the hu-

When the clouds leak copiously the to-

white settlers came they began to improve
upon the aboriginal methods of cultivst
ing it. anC soon it was lifted from its
original state as a lowly pot herb and
placed among the heaven-sent delicates-
sen. Today the tomato asks no odds of
any other fruit or vegetable. AS 1t Is
grown upon the eastern shore it is as
perfect as the grapes of Calabria or the
