new PNEUMATIC
DREDG EN- ROUTE
TO MANHATTAN
CAPTAIN o. HENRY RETURNS
FROM SACRAMENTO WHERE
DREDGE is LOADED.

Captain o. Henry returned from
Sacramento Sunday and continued on
to Manhattan, returning from that
camp yesterday. Mr.. Henry states
that the Pneumatic Dredge company
has shipped to Manhattan a complete
outfit and that before long the plac-
er dirt on the Wilson property will
be worked by this machinery. The
power used will be generated by a
gasoline engine of 75-horsepower,
which will be more than sufficient
to operate the plant.
The sending of the dredge to Man
haitian is the result of a recent visit
of NJ. A. Nurse and DR.. NJ. McCol-
lum, officials of the company, who
spent several days looking over the
placer field. Both gentlemen at that
time stated that the pneumatic pro-
cess would apply to the Manhattan
placer fields and treat the dirt in an
economic manner. They are at pres.
ent in Sacramento, but will make an.
other visit to this section of the coun.
try in short time Captain Henry
will have charge of installing the
dredge on its arrival.

MANHATTA GOLD
AVERAGES over
Sl5 PER OUNCE
Los ANGELES PARTIES ARE BE-
COMING INTERESTED in THE
PLACER CAMP.

F. w. NOVEL;, secretary and man
ager of the Goldfield Bald Mountain
Consolidated company at Manhattan
and o. B. Steen, consulting engineer,
of the same company, returned yes
terday from Manhattan where they
have spent the last few days looking
over the company's holdings. Both
gentlemen are somewhat jubilant
over the returns from about eight
yards of dirt they sluiced during
their stay. The high grade contrib
uted $124.60 and they consider this
a good average of the gold bearing
dirt in their ground.
Mr.. NOVEL; also exhibited a certifi-
cate from the United States mint
showing the returns from 1870
ounces of gold dust, a recent clean
up from forty-one yards of dirt The
certificate stated the gold was worth
$15.17 an ounce, or a total value of
$7OS.6O.
The holdings of the company are
about the largest in the Manhattan
placer district with the exception of
that acquired by Dry Wash" Will
son. 1t is situated at Central Mr..
NOVEL; will stop several days in
Goldfield, where he will endeavor to
purchase complete electric hosting
apparatus with pumps and all access
series which will be installed on the
workings. 1t was first planned to in
stall gasoline hoist. but owing to
the speed in which the electric wires
are being strung to that camp. il was
decided to wait for the electricity,
and ii the purchase can be made in
Goidfield. the machinery will be
erected by the time the power makes
its advent into the placer camp.

DRY WASH WILSON
SELLS LARGE INTEREST
TO GOLDFIELDERS
]. c. Mccormack and Associates Take
Over Portion of Placer Holdings---A.
H. Davis enthused Over Camp.

A. H. Davis, the well known min
ing man, came in from Manhattan
yesterday morning and was greatly
enthused over the outlook for the
northern camp. In speaking of the
district, Mr.. Davis said:
81 will publicly state on my reputa-
ton that after experiences of four
years in the Alaska placer diggings
and FIVE years in the alluvial fields
of Central and South America and
California that Manhattan has a
greater continued showing of placer
and surface gold than any district
in the world and am free to state
that Manhattan will not alone find
gold in her washes, but it will not be
long before great discoveries will be
made on the benches and probably as
rich pockets will be found as has
been in the past in Alaska or Cali
fornia.
History will repeat itself when
say that those that have faithfully
stuck to the camp through all its ad'
versities will be the founders of un
told fortunes to be reaped by those
that come in later and invest theil
capital There is no need for me tt
dwell upon the merits and richness
of the Manhattan zone of minerals
as they are well known to all thai
have been on the ground and moth
ing more is needed to further the
camps future than an unalloyeC
statement of truth of the facts with
out any embellishments whatsoever
and when an investor visits thu
ground he may have ocular demon
stration of the same. There has beef
but few exceptions when an investo
visits the camp that he is not thor
oughly enthused and immediatel
makes an investment.
Last week alone recent investor
put forty men to work on the place
diggings. This fact l CLEANED from
the miners union. The new dredge
from Sacramento is now on the roa
between here and Manhattan an
will be installed on one of the piece
leased by Dry Wash Wilson.

VALUES IN THE
WEST end Ledge
ARE INCREASING
BODY OF TALC ON 400 LEVEL
CARRIES HIGH VALUES;
$4,000 TO TON.

A mild sensation was caused yes
terday when the afternoon stock
quotations were received by Broker
Harry Epstine. The principal fea-
ture was West End, which advanced
from 81 cents, the morning call. to
80 cents. The rumors started and
inside of an hour everything from a
five-foot ledge to one 100 feet wide
carrying all sorts of values, had been
found in the mine.
Foreman Bob Christian stated that
TO his knowledge the only new find
was the one described in the Satur-
day issue of the Bonanza where
mention was made of the encounter
ing of body of tale in the west
lateral drift from the south crosscut
on the 400-foot level. At that time
the tale carried good values, but had
not been developed to any extent.
Yesterday the body had been pierced
for about twenty feet and showed a
composition of red and white tale
and boulders of quartz. The red tale
and the quartz carries very little
values, but in spots, the white COM
position runs high. A picked sample
gave returns of over $4,000 to the
ton. What the entire twenty feet
will assay is unknown, but it Is
thought that it will make good ship
ping ore without sorting. At the
present the tale is sorted with great
care.
The find is in the direction ol
Mount Brougher and is in what Il
practically termed virgin ground,
as very little prospecting has beer
done in this locality. The DRIFT will
be continued for some further dis
lance and the tale body Will not b.
opened up for a few weeks.

City Prison Is Almost Destroyed
This Morning.

BEATEN WITH A CLUB

Fire broke out in the women's tower
of the city prison at the corner of Fifth
and Jackson streets at o'clock this
morning and, discovered by the police
matron, Mrs. l. z. Thorpe, created a
Juror Of excitement among the prison
officials while both phones were rung
repeatedly before the fire department
arrived.
Luckily there were no women pris-
oners in the ward and the fremen, I'M
hindered by the removal of screaming
women, soon had the blaze under con-
troll and extinguished with but slight
loss, estimated at s25.
The cause Of the fire was one of the
rankest violations of the fire regula-
tions-and that in a city building. a
stove pipe had been run up into a
short -ventilator between the ceiling of
one of the rooms and the roof This
yentilator, intended merely as a air
shaft in the construction of the build
ing, at the installation of the natural
gas for heating in the prison had been
transformed into a flue by simply
sticking the end of the pipe into it
without the slightest alteration or fire
protection.
The ceiling of the room is blackened
in a radius of four feet from the pipe
Last December, says Mrs. Thorpe, the
end of the stove pipe slipped out of the
smudge and blackened the ceiling be-
fore it was noticed. Street Commits
sioner Frank Snyder repaired the defect
at the time by frightening the pipe
until it stuck out of the roof which
served to carry off the fumes but did
not lessen the danger of fire from a hot
fue Immediately in touch with wood.
The immed'a ate cause of the fire was
the lighting of rubbish packed in the
stove by prisoners during their con-
fnement. The matron had a little girl
sweeping out the rooms and cleaning
up in general Not knowing what to
do with the trash in the stove and on
account of the difficulty of getting the
stuff out of the gas CRATE, she simply
struck a match to it. In a minute the
hue was red hot and the odor of
smoke began to come through the cas-
ing of a skyIight, then smoke. and the
matron saw the building was affre.
AS the chief was wont to break his
Sunday school training at the delay of
the department, the wagons from sta
ton No. , were seen coming down
Jackson street. The chemical was
ahead with the hose, hook and ladder
and even the steamer, following. A
ladder wagon from No I and a hose
from No. 3 also ran up. Nothing but
the chemical was needed, however So

The farmer Swears at it, the sheep
man cusses it, the cowboy cusses it, yet
if it were not for the sagebrush there
would be no farmers, sheepmen nor
cowboys in the western country, says
the Boise Statesman. Nature is a very
delicately balanced affair." as nicely
adjusted as the finest watch one can
imagine. Change one thing in it and
to some extent, vast in some cases and
not perceptible in others, you have
changed all the others.
Today in some parts of the state,
farmers who have cleared off all the
sagebrush find their farms going over
into the next county in swirls with
every wind that blows, The govern
ment experts have been hurried to their
assistance, but all that these trained
men can suggest is to let the sagebrush
stand in rows at certain intervals as
windbreaks, and in cases where all the
humble sage has been grubbed up to
pile the dead plants in long rows to
break the force of the wind It is easily
to be seen that if there had never been
any sagebrush the farmers would never
have had any soil where now bloom
thousands of fruit trees.
Not only does this nation owe the

plant, but even the coyote is valuable
