GOOD LEDGE IS OPENED
IN MINNESOTA PROSPECT

John Cleary was in from Minnesota
Springs this week, where he and son and
Frank Tarbell have been working for
some time upon the Water Cress, a
property lying s~outheasterly from the
springs, says the Blair Press.
Mr.. Cleary states that an incline
shaft is down a depth of sixty feet
where they have a ledge between SIX
and seven feet in width, from any part
of which they have been able to obtain
paintings, and picked samples show
values OF at least 475 per ton. Mr..
Cleary estimates the value of the aver
age to be at least $l2, which isn't half
bad. He states that they have two well
defined walls, and these are pitching

PLANENAZ LEASE ORE
ORE RUNS NEARLY $500 A TON

Tonopah, May 3l.-Last week a ship
ment of 116 sacks of ore, weighing six
tons, was brought in from Manhattan,
conveyed by Arthur G. Raycraft, an Of
fetal Of the Dexter Mining company.
This ore was from the 300-foot level
of the Plamenaz lease on the Union
No. 3 claim of the Manhattan Dexter.
1t was shipped to Miller and sampled
by the Western Ore Purchasing com
pany. The value of the ore, given out
today, was 1892 to the ton, or $685.
for the lot.
1t is not the value of the returns in
total that makes this a matter of con
siderable moment, for this was only Q
test shipment, but the fact Of the high
value per ton, for there is plenty more
where this came from.
On the 300 foot level of this prop
erty the ore has changed in character
so that Il = impossible to get anything
like a complete extraction in the Man
haitian mills. The test shipment was
made a. forerunner Of 4 steady stream
of high grade from the camp TO the

Ryan within a period of about five
years, and evidently he is well start
ed ON his career.
Is a Young Man.
"He is a young man of exceptionally
pleasing personality, has a charming
and modest wife, a small family and
still maintains his residence in Butte
where everybody miners, laborers and
business men-like him.
"Mr. Ryan and his associates have
been extending their operations into
Utah and Nevada, and any state or
community may count itself fortunate
to share his energy and ability.
1.-The companies represented by Mr..
Ryan produce at present between 3d.
10000 and 100000 pounds of copper
a month, and of that the A%malgamated
Copper company produces about 25,-
O00, 600.
As is well known there has for some
time been a considerable produc-
ti"u of copper, and consumption has
not been able to take care of the sup
ply, the result being an accommodating
surplus.
"The organization of the Copper Pro
ducers' association, although claiming
to be only for purposes of supplying
.k.&;.t;.,I determination hog no fho
effect of regulating, to some extent,
the copper situation. Notwithstanding
denials, the fact is that production has
been curtailed about fifteen per cent,
all the leading producers of America
sharing in the eurtailment. At the
present rate of production and con-
sumption it will be but a short while
until the surplus it taken up and there
will be another rapid advance in the
price of the copper metal until it
reaches a point-say at eighteen OF
twenty cents-where producers can
make a fair profit.
"While there are constant denials
that a combination of the worlds big
copper producers is impending, yet it
is evident that negotiations to that end
are closing, and it is a safe prediction
that copper will never again sell as low
as it did during the past year nor so
high as it did before the 1907 panic.
Prices will be regulated to the salts
faction of producers and consumers
alike, and the constant anxiety pro-
duced by uncertainty of the market
will be removed

NICK REINHARDT MAKES
GOOD STRIKE AT SUMMIT

An important gold strike is reported
to have just been made at Summit, .
few miles from Lucky Boy, that is be-
ginning to create a great deal of in
terest in the section. The strike was
made by Nick Reinhart, n of the best
known prospectors in Southern Nevada,
and it is reported to show very coarse
gold through the quartz, which will run
high up in value. 1t is conceded that
Reinhart win not dig very long in one
place unless there is something pretty
good to claim his attention, but he is
staying with this prospect in earnest,
and reports indicate that he has struck
it big.

CAPTAIN DAVIS Is STILL
WIDE AWAKE IN MINING

Carson City, June 4.-The purchase
of the J.. M. Douglass mill property,
tailings and water rights by Captain
Herman Daeis from j. M. Douglass of
Virginia City and Robert Douglass, his
cousin, and Senator from Churchill coun-
ty, as heirs-at-law of the late Joe Doug
lass, Storey county's sole millionaire,
is significant. 1t means that Cap. Davis
Notwithstanding his recent great. losses,
is still going some. He is the head and
front of enterprise in Dayton, and all
residents of Dayton and neighborhood
should stand by him and protect him
in his property and property rights.
Captain Davis already owns, through
the Rock Point Ditch, $50 horsepower,
or thereabouts, and by his recent pur-
chase will add $50 horsepower more.
He also owns the Eureka mill power,
which amounts to probably 300 horse
power. Strictly speaking, Cap. Davis
does not own it entirely but controls
said properties by virtue Of owning
the majority of the stock in a corpora
ton that is the absolute owner of said
properties.
1t is unnecessary to detail the title
or history of the Douglass mill prop,
erty. 1t is sufficient to state that the
water rights is one of the earliest, dat
ing about 1862, and that the plant was
from the Comstock on a large scale,
built in about 1869, and being then
operated by Fred Birdsall as one of
the principal owners and acting super
intendent of the enterprise. The old
man who now gives the News the
foregoing information, was a kid then,
and shoveled tailings for Fred Bird
sail, at the wage of 81 a day.
TIE addition of the Douglass mill
property to the productive power of
Dayton means much to Dayton. 1t
would mean disastrous results to Day
ton, if the citizens neglected to pro-
tect the same from being burned down
and destroyed. 1t is their duty to pro-
tect such enterprises and works from
destruction.
1t is the intention of Cap. Davis
and those who are interested with him
to Immediately clean the Douglass
ditch, and build large reduction works
at the old Fred Birdsall or Douglass
mill site, and enter the field bidding
for the reduction of ores from Gold
field to the Comstock, or from other
directions, and underbid all competi
tors.

SEVEN TROUGHS DISTRICT
FEELS BENEFIT OF MILL

/ Morrison olter lease in Wild Horse
canyon has been consumed in installing
the pumping plant recently purchased
for the property.
The pump is nov in place and is do
ing good work in draining the shaft.
Az soon ~ possible, and probably early
in the week, work in the shaft will be
resumed and sinking carried on to 400
feet.
lGonnstts Vein Pans.
n. n. GaToutte, manager Of the Mon
nettc II. . NJ. company reports . very
favorable showing on the company
property near Vernon. At the 40O-foot
level Mr.. Garoute has driven a crosscut
some ESQ feet and has just cut the vein.
He is now running drifts both north
and south and expects to run into some
thing good as the vein now pans.
F, It is the opinion Of Mr.. Garoutte,
however, that the vein just cut is not
the main one which he opened in pros
pectine and while the drifts are being
run the crosscut will be continued to
tap the other ledge.
The water question or the Monnette
50 far has been q simple one. In the
bottom Of the shaft q aow was en-
countered but this has never risen and
the stream is just sufficient to supply
the mine with what it needs.
The Van Wrinkle lease on Badger
Hill is still attracting considerable at
tention. The vein on which the tunnel
is being run is proving n of the big
gest in the district. Good values are
obtained across several feet, but it is
too near the surface, at the point open
ed up to carry consistent values.
1t is the intention Of Mr.. Van Wrinkle
to continue the drift on the vein until
he gets the best value and then &c
down. For the past two weeks Oh
more it has seemed almost every day
that the proper point had been reached
but with another round of shots
a still better showing was made, so II
is a question yet just where sinking
will be started.
Without a question with sufficient
depth to get out of the broken charac.
ter of the vein, Van will have one OF
the biggest milling propositions in the
camp.

AMALGAMATED LEADER
HAD SENSATIONAL CAREER

"John D. Ryan, who appears to be
slated as the successor of Henry H.
Rogers as the head of the Amalgamated
Copper company and the Standard
Oil copper interests, has had a remark
able and sensational rise in the finan-
cial WORLD said Charles ~Copenhame Of
Butte, a mining writer and Montana
capper authority, recently.
"Not more than ten or twelve years
ago Mr.. Ryan visited Butte as an oil
salesman, selling the product OF a
Standard Oil company rival. In that
capacity he met the late Marcus DAILY,
who made him cashier of the DAILY
bank at Butte. He occupied that posi-
ton until the death of Mr.. DAILY, and
the retirement of Mr.. Scallon, the then
managing director of the ~Amalgamatel
company for Montana.
Mr.. Ryan was chosen to fill the va
cancy and Immediately proceeded to
make good. He is a man that says
little, though an extremely sociable
man, but he does things. At the time
of his appointment as managing direc-
tor there was pending in the courts Of
Montana the famous mining litigation
between the Amalgamated and +. Au-
gustus Heinze's United Copper con-,
pany, which scandalized the whole
country, corrupted the courts anu dis
graced many men, costing the it'll
gants many millions of dollars.
The first thing that Mr.. Ryan did
was to convince his associates of the
folly of continuing the fight. He reeog-
nized that Heinze had some rights and
made overtures for a settlement, or ae-
cepted overtures made by Heinze.
Now Company Organized.
"The result was the organization of
the Butte Coalition Mining company
which purchased all the Heinze inter
ests for a big sum, said to have been
$%l0,OO0,OOO. An adjustment with the
Amalgamated was then simple.
1.-The settlement of that ugly litisa-
ton lifted a depressing cloud from in
dustrial, social and political Montana.
and in all its history no one act will
prove a greater benefit to the state.
people then turned their attention
to other things, and today the re-
sources of the state are attractions to
the people of the whole world, and
peace prevails where for twelve years
bitter, bloody and shameful strife only
was known.
ssThis settlement of internal strife
has been followed by more extensive
mining, agricultural development and
railroad building, including the exten-
sion of the Rockefellers' St. Paul road
through the state and to the coast.
"In addition to holding the import
ant position at the head of the Stand
ard Oil copper interests, Mr.. Ryan is
interested with Thomas F. Cole of Du-
luth in many vast mining and smelt-
ing interests, and is president and priu-
cipal organizer Of the new Interna.
tional Smelling and Refining company,
the rival of the G~uggenheims' Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining company.
He is one Of the principal stockholders
and an officer in the Greene-Canane
Copper company of Mexico, the famous
North Butte Copper Mining company,
the Butte Coalition Mining company,
the Giroux Consolidated Mining COM
pany Of Nevada, and 10 the moving
spirit il half a dozen other big min
ing, water and electric power coneerna.
These are the accomplishments Of M.
