MUCH new ACTIVITY
IN NORTHERN NEVADA

All the way from Tuscarora to
Mountain City, in northern Nevada, are
old mining camps which are awakening
and new ones being brought in, accord
ing to J. M. Erwin, pioneer operator
of that region, who has been in Salt
Lake City for a few days. The old
mines of Tuscarora have been taken
by a strong eastern syndicate
which has had out extensive plans of
development, including the building OF
a railroad and a great power plant. On
account of the magnitude of the work
delays have been experienced, but it is
believed that the real campaign or ac-
tivity will be started not later than
the spring of 1910.
civilian Parish, the noted mining
expert, whom / met in Elko, told me
that he was exerting every effort to get
operations under way yet this fall,'
said Mr.. Erwin, "but on account of the
lateness Of the season he was not sure
of being able to do SO. But the start
ing of real work by next spring is
virtually assured.
"Active development work has been
started on the Lime Mountain group, 81
miles north of Tuscarora, which has
been taken over by a San Francisco
crowd, at the head of which is Colonel
Cohen of Delamar fame. The company
has likewise acquired most of the sur
rounding property, and has located a
smelter site, where is an ideal site for
a mining town. The property is re-
spending handsomely to development,
one of the surprises encountered being
a vein of porphyry which carries fine
values in copper, gold and silver.

other season will see that property
equipped with an u~p-to-date electric
plant for reducing the ores
"The old camp Of Mountain City has
some exceptionally good showiugs. The
Mountain City property, owned by J..
B. Hall and associates, is under bond
to Boston men, and it is to be fully
developed the coming year.. The Nelson
mine is a proposition of undoubted
worth, in which early resumption OF OPP
erations is confidently looked for.
"The Little Gladys company Of Salt
Lake is making a handsome showing in
its property. A tunnel is being driven
upon a contact Of granite and porphyry
in which good gold values are found.

HISTORY AND HOLDINGS
OF GUGGENHEIM FAMILY

, sooner was this plant a success than
they built a third at Monterey, Mex.
This work gave them an insight to
other lines of work; the natural out
come of the work accomplished. The
d~esirability of refining their own bull
lion which was produced in their vari-
Gus plants, so they built a refinery st
Perth Arboy, N. j., to which Benjamin,
the pioneer of the family in the bust
ness, transferred his energies. When
the consolidation of the smelling indus
tries was accomplished the G~uggenheim
interests were so large that they were
naturally the ruling factor in the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany. At this point Benjamin took two
years. rest, which he had earned, and
which he spent in Europe.
On returning home he looked about
for some Individual field where his
personal activities would count, and
decided on entering the manufacture
of mining machinery. At once the
large plant erected in Milwaukee, in
1908, became a factor to reckon with.
Three years later his Power & Machin
cry company was merged with the In
ternational Steam Pump company, in
which he is both a director and a large
stakeholder, and recently has been
elected president of the company. Re-
Gently he has been visiting the com.
pany's plant near London, and visiting
its various continental offices, with view
of extending its large trade to foreign
countries, as Benjamin is ever on the
alert to extend the business and use
of their machinery. His company have
seven plants for the manufacture Of
machinery in this country, and one in
England, from which 10000 men draw
their salaries. They manufacture an
infinite variety of pumps, from the
smallest feed pump weighing but a few
pounds to pumping engines capable of
supplying a city with 2O,0O0,O0O gallons
daily, pumping apparatus and ~condensers
for battleships of the nation, pressure
pumps for the cotton press of the
south and steels mills Of Pennsylvania,

vators so essential to the sky-scraper
buildings Of our times.-Exchange.

Two FEET OF $50 Ore
AT PAULSON CANYON

ROUND MOUNTAIN, New, Nov. is.
Two feet of ffty-dollar ore don't
sound very big on paper. Not when we
are in the habit Of reading about mar
velous lodges of ore which are said to
run many thousands of dollars to the
ton.
That is what the Nevada National
company has on it's Paulsen canyon
property-two feet of $50 ore in place.
By that we mean the lowest average as
say of the ledge is in the neighborhood
of $5O-to be exact $47.20 per ton. This
was from the fairest possible sample OF
the ledge, which has been opened for q
distance of about forty feet by an in
cline shaft. Other samples from the
ledge have returned assay values OF
from $50 to $17O per ton, which shows
that the vein has rich spots and may
be expected to do better than $50 per
ton. High grade has been found in
this Paulsen canyon ledge, too. Super
intendent Nels Paulsen has some of the
finest specimens of free gold to be
found anywhere. Paulsen canyon may
rival even the famous Round Mountain
district as a producer of high grade.
The Nevada National company has q
! force of men at work developing it,
property and a decidedly creditabl'
showing is being made. Besides the
work now going forward in the mali
shaft ON the ledge, several other open
ings have been made along the lea'
opening same for a distance of abou'
200 feet at intervals up the hillside
Some of these openings are only
couple of feet deep, while others rang
from ten to forty feet in depth. Il
all Of them the ore body is shown u
good and strong and the values ar
ever present.
It is the intention of the Nevad
National company to put in a mill .
soon as conditions warrant.

EUCALYPTUS TREES TO
BE KNOWN IN NEVADA

H. A. McCraney ("of Nevada" as
he says, but more properly "of Ne
vada and California'') is the head of
a new enterprise which bids fair to
add much to the resources of the
Vegas valley. He has been convinced
that the soil and climate of this Sec
tion are very favorable for the growth
of eucalyptus trees ana is busy or
ganizing a company to engage in that
business. He has the backing of Re-
no capitalists in the enterprise aud
hopes to begin operations by plant
ing 1000 acres to young trees the
coming season.
There are many thousands Of acres
Of land in this valley which may be
made to produce immense profits by
the growth of the eucalyptus. In thil
state, especially, the industry should
be very profitable or account Of the
great demand for mining timbers, ell
calyptus wood being better for tina
purpose than any timber now used.
Mr.. McCraney has for years beer
deep in the game Of politics both il
California and Nevada, and was 70
some years in the newspaper bushes
in this state. He is at present presi
dent Of the Nevada Press association

AUGUSTUS SATTLER TO
RESIDE IN TEXAS

Augustus Sattler, for years secretary
of the Goldfeld Mining Stock exchange,
and for the past year secretary OF the
Goldfeld chamber of commerce, left to-
day with Texas as his ultimate destins-
ton and probable future home.
Mr.. Sattler has been in Goldfeld for
something over three years, during
which time he has been active in all
public movements. He was a valued
citizen as he was a man of high char
acter and broad experience in business.
He had been a successful scientific
agriculturalist in the east and south
and had made much money in this pur.
snit. He also mined in Colorado and
later. on arriving at Goldfeld where bis
penchant for mining brought him, he
again engaged in mining and In the
buying and selling of mining shares.
His broad experience and natural de,
sire to help "build up" led him to
take an active interest in the chamber
of commerce, to which he devoted much
time, as secretary, a considerable por-
ton of his term being given without
compensation. He also acted as secre-
tary of the mining stock exchange
without compensation, and the work Of
times was onorous and exacting. Now
that he has determined to return to h's
old line of work-intensive farming, ne
will have the best wishes OF the entire
neonle of Goldfeld for his success.

A s required by statute my books
II will be opened at my office in
1909, and kept open until FEBRUARY

taxation all TAXABLE PROPERTY

Returns made on proper blanks, and
sworn to before an officer qualified to
administer an oath and forwarded to
me by registered mail before February
20, 1909, will be accepted.
All taxpayers are particularly re-
quested to inform themselves as to the
number Of their respective school dis
tricts, and where they have property
in more than one school district, they
will please make separate returns In
dicating the location Of each piece of
property. The school districts In which
there are special levies are as follows:

crate soldiers over the age Of fifty
years, are liable to a poll tax Of 81,
and all persons so liable are especially
requested to give the numbers Of their
respective school districts in making
their returns.
It will be a matter Of much accom-
mediation to me If as many taxpayers
as possible will meet me at the res
pective appointments, mentioned above
so as to avoid the rush at Yorkville
during the closing days.
