MILL RUNNING
ON ORE FROM KRAMER HILL

The big mill Of the Glasgow & West
ern Exploration company at Golconda
has commenced the reduction of ore
from the mines on Kramer hill. During
the past month two big teams have been
hauling ore from the mines to the mill
until now there is a large tonnage IL
the bins and the management deemed
it enough ahead to keep the plant II
operation steadily. The Backus broth
ers, who are doing the hauling, have
kept two large teams busy at this work
and are delivering about twelve tons
of ore at the mill daily.
Without disturbing the Slopes and
the ore bodies that are blocked out IN
the Kramer hill mines, there were 600
tons of ore on the dumps and this is the
rock that is being milled at the present
time.
The milling Of the ore from Kramer
hill, which is less than two miles from
the depot at Golconda, means a great
to that town and already the bene-
fits of this enterprise are being mate
rally felt among the business hogssd
Golconda is looking up these d>neonls

The story of the discovery and loss
of the "Pegleg' mine in the desert re-
gion of the southern part of the state
has been oft narrated with many
variations, saws the Oakland Tribune.
1t is me of the earliest mining ro-
mances of Southern California follow
ing the discovery of gold at Coloma by
Marshall. In it's original form the
story went that Pegleg, a desert pros
pector, so-called because he was
manned, crawled into Bakersfield on
one of the early days in a partially de-
mented condition produced by the
~privation he had suffered, bearing with
him nuggets and gold bearing quartz
specimens, which he represented he had
taken from a ledge of Incompatible
richness he had discovered in his wan
behring's in the desert region, but which
he was never afterward able to -e-
locate. His story was on a par with
that other desert myth known as the
"Gunsight" mine, wherein a prospec-
tor had used a piece of native gold be
had broken from the outcroppings of q
ledge which he came across in his
roamings in the desert to repair the
barrel of his rife, and the bearings OF
which he was not afterwards able to
relocate. When the yellow Aster"
mine at Randsburg was discovered,
about twelve or thirteen years ago,
desert prospectors settled down to the
belief that the "Gunsight' mine had
been found.
The "Pegleg' mine remained, how
ever, IN object of persistent, although
unsuccessful, search by desert miners
for many years after the death of the
manned prospector, until it finally was

About forty-fve miles southwest o.
Las Vegas there is a district destined
socn to add an entirely new feature to
the mining industry Of the west. Here
are to be seen deposits of zinc carbon.
ates equalling anything of their kin
in the world, says the Las Vegas Age.
As illustrative of the limitations of
ordinary human discernment, the true
character of the great deposits was ut
terly unknown until less than three
years ago.
For the past twenty-five years this
district had been priced for its lead.
Though far removed from railroad and
smelling facilities, this metal had been
mined, and the best of it shipped, in a
ftful way, ever since 1898.
Accompanying this lead were dykes
of p brittle, light eolored material
which the miners called ledge matter,
and contemptuously flung over the
dump, until some inquiring miners took
tut pains W nave II dHdiF ltt-
turns showed a large percentage of
zinc. Then everybody began sending
away samples, until it was found that
G~oodsprings possessed ten tons of zinc
to one of lead.
About 10000 tons have been shipped
to the zinc snelters in Kansas, more as
a test than anything else, and the gen
eral average of this ore was about 40
per cent.
1t being thus clearly shown that
G~oodsprings has the prime requisite
reduction works, namely, plenty
ore, steps are being taken :
four prominent zinc or "p
vide speb facil;t;e, and soon Cool
springs will, become the largest pro
d,eors # base metals in Nevada, AMI
cha the foremost zinc district IN
thr world.

WILL OPEN OLD FIRE ZONE

1t is reported from Virginia City that
the FIRE lone in the Consolidated Vir.
ginia, which has been closed for nearly
twenty years, is about to be opened up
again. The fire zone includes a large
territory of underground workings
which have been practically closed
since 1884. At the time this part of
the mine was closed there were several
ore deposits of medium grade rock, and
it is expected that these may soon be
available again.

RICH ORE IN ORLEANS NO. 8

Cottrell, Olsen & McAuliffe have
opened some rich ore in the Orleans
No. 3 that will bring this property to
the front rank. An average assay
across three feet and a half went ut
the rate Of twelve ounces in gold to
the ton, or $40 a ton, according to the
latest reports. Free gold may be seen
in every piece of the rich rock. A ship
ment of this rich ore will 60 out Satur-
day, and will make the total shipments
from this property 120 tons. All Of the
former shipments went at the rate of
five ounces in gold. The next shipment
is expected to average fifteen ounces
in gold. There is very little silver in
the ore.-Round Mountain Nugget.

Hurting Business

fellow jumping up and springing the

him. If he makes or attempts to make
some people clean up they send the
warning that it will hurt his bust
ness" If the street commissioner
spoons out an ounce too much dirt
somewhere he is told it will lose him
his job. If the city marshal runs in
drunk he is cautioned about doing
things that deprive him of his position.
If the county attorney attempts to en-
force some law he is informed to "look
out" If a merchant opens his mouth

grouchy cuss tells him to be careful or
he'll hurt his business with too much
talk. If mail carrier kicks because a
