Coming as the precursor, so to speak,
&C the American Mining Congress which
will hold it's convention for the first
time in Nevada, during the week COM
meEcing September 81, 1909, Colonel
Tom Ewing, as he is Familiarity known,
is at the Riverside, and yesterday, in
an interview with the Journal repre-
sentative, emphasized strongly the i'm
p~crtance of the congress not only to
Goldfeld but to the entire state of
Nevada. He believes and shows
grounds for the feeling that the con
gress this year will be one OF the most
beneficial factors for good to the state
of Nevada imaginable. While not here
ON that mission, he is doing much mis-
%sionary work that will undoubtedly
arouse the people with whom he has
been held by bonds of sympathy since
the time he campaigned in '64 for Nye
and Stewart for United States sena-
tors.
Colonel Ewing is a noteworthy
character in himself aside from the
fact that he has been for years vice
president of the American Mining con
gress and is today one OF the nine
members of it's board of directors. To
him in a large measure is due the credit
for bringing the congress to Nevada
this year and that by a unanimous
vote. He represents California on the
board, George Wingfeld of Goldheld
having been given the honor for Ne
vada, but he is no less an ardent advo-
cate of Nevada's greatness, especially
in mineral resources.
Is a National Affair.
After "a few pleasant words express
i've of his pleasure in being IN Nevada
and a few words about his home II
Denver, Colonel Ewing said that h'
thought more attention should be pait
to the coming congress, and that j
should be regarded as a state affair, ant
not merely the local concern of TIM
town of Goldfeld.

Coalition estate. Development at con
siderable depth is to begin ON the first
mentioned just as soon as the machin
cry is in commission. The acreage has
an ore showing at surface and nominal
depth equal with any in that locality
and has in the past yielded a small
tonnage of shipping grade ore. The
Coalition Crown lease is situated al
most in the heart of the Coalition
estate. General Manager Lansing says
that the first level is to be established
at a depth of $50 feet. Crosscuts are
to be run to intersection with the west
extension of the ledge from which very
high grade ore is being mined on the
Grutt- Balloon Hill lease on the Queen
estate. The present depth of the shaft
is 50 feet.
Producing Rich Ore.
The shipment that General Manager
Looney OF the Grutt-Balloon Hill lease
is assembling at Fallon has an average
value OF 500 a ton. 1t yas mined an
the north drift ON the l25-foot level
and in the upraise neal its heading.
Inc latter is producing considerable
ore having'a value of from $500 to $500
a ton. The same ledge and shoot are
now being entered on the lS5-foot level
under mineral conditions as satisfac-
tory as prevail above. An area of
backs will, therefore, soon be afforded
extending from that point practically
TO surface. In addition to the high
grade being shipped, a much larger ton
mage OF milling grade ore is being
DIocKea out.
Additional value attaches to the
Truett lease ON the Coalition by reason
of tine recent discovery OF hive feet OF
ore having an average value of $l7.4O
a ton in the crosscut from the 60-foot
level of the winze sunk in the floor ON
the 70-foot level. The depth from sur
face is 100 feet. The find is holding
its values and shows strong mineraliza-
tion throughout the entire breadth men
toned. 1t is unquestionably one Of
the most important II uniformly en-
ore bodies ever opened Ill the
workings. IRON surface to bottom of
w~Inze-aepth of 10 feet-the lease is

imum value of So a ton. from the ex-
posure on the 70-foot level the man
agement is extracting and shipping to

HIGH GRADE SHIPMENTS
GOING OUT OF RAWHIDE

Rawhide, New, June IL Shipments
of high grade ore, each bulking IS tons,
are being assembled at Fallon from the
Marigold lease on the Coalition estate
and the Grutt-B Balloon Hill lease on the
Queen estate. The ore is being freight
ed to hat point in such tonnage as
the eight and ten horse outfits can haul
under stress of sun and sand, and from
there will be billed by rail to sampler
at Hazen. In addition to the ores 60
ing to outside sampler a considerable
tonnage is being transported to the
three milling plants located ON the fiat
south of the TOWNSHIP. Excellent prog
ress is being made in establishing the
machinery at the plant of the National
Ore Purchasing company, and unless
mishap prevents, the initial run IN ore
thereat will be made not later than
July Is.
Having tried out the ore reducing
capabilities of the rolls of the Weiss
mill, General Manager Howard is now
testing the worth of the stamps of the
Murray mill, with the intention of in
cooperating the best features of each
process in the plant it is the intention
of himself and associates to soon erect
for the sole purpose of reducing the
large bodies of milling grade ore block
ed put in the Truett lease workings on
the Coalition. The consignment to the
Murray mill bulks 100 tons of ore
which Mr.. Howard estimates to nave
an average value approximately $40 a
ton.
Marigold Leases Mill.
The present week the management of
the Marigoid lease became a factor in
the local milling colony by taking over
under long term lease the Knight-Con-
Ion plant. Three amalgamating pans
are being added to the equipment and
other improvements made. For the
present none ave the lower grade ores
will be reduced thereat, but ultimately
it is the intention to add to the pre-
cious metal saving efficiency of the
plant by installing a cyanide process.
Thereafter all the product from the
Marigold will be shipped to the mill.
Thirty tons Of ore that General Man
ager Riggs estimates to have a net
value of $40 a ton are treated daily.
He states the dump contains about 400
ions of similar worth. Ore that nets
5000 a ton is also being produced.

BLACK HAND GETS MANS LEG
Intended Victim Has His Little
Joke and Saves $1,000.
Told to Leave that Amount on Pain

Gives Up Leg.

ST. Louis. April 3-Int the language of
gamesters, Edward Tucker has a leg on
the Black Hand. to say nothing Of a
laugh. Literally. the Black Hand has the
leg. Tucker doesn't mind that. for he
gave tine leg to the secret society. or the
band Of jokers purporting TO constitute
that imaginary body. The funny part of
II is that the Black Handlers aren't a bit
grateful for the leg. They tried 10 pull
fuckers leg. but they didn't want It when
they got it. They wanted to pull the leg
without getting II, whereas they got Il
without pulling It. For Tucker. by losing
his leg, prevented It from being pulled.
Yet X he had let Il be pulled ne wouldn't
have lost it, However, he would have
lost $l000. and as he saved that he doesn I

leg he didn't want, either. and when he
realized IL would be pulled II ne didn't

He'd rather have the money than the leg.
