were finally completed
whereby plaintiffs consented to a dis
missal of the suit. Presumably wishing
to avoid going to court, defendants
made the following proposition, which
was accepted:
Defendants recognized and admitted
the terms of the contract entered into
with plaintiffs on January 10 Of this
year, and in pursuance thereof deliv-
cred 100000 shares of the capital
stock of the National Mining Company
of Nevada at the contract price of ten
cents per share For the 10000 shares
remaining to J. l.. Workman, w. s.

The old board of directors and officers
were to resign in body.
The new owners now have absolute
control of the mine. The company was

part value of one dollar each. OF the
capital stock, 100000 shares were is
sued, the remaining 100000 shares be-

EFFECT OF BAD
"BAITn AND HOT WEATHER

Many people who have visited Wal
ker lake have reported seeing mon
ster sea serpent or prehistoric mon
ster in the inland sea, but people have
always laughed at the idea, although
many prominent mining men claim
that they have seen this terrible ami
NAL. Now comes another story of this
sea serpent and it comes from a re-
liable source.
Captain Cadle of the Reno police
force has brother, Harry Cadle, min
ing at Lucky Boy, and today mining
man from that place told Captain Ca.
die of his brothers. narrow escape
from death when attacked by this SER
pent.
This man, who is a Sparks railroad
man, states that yesterday while Har-
ry Cadle and about 90 other men of
Lucky Boy were standing on the shores
of Walker lake looking out upon the
water they saw this monster more
than 20 feet long swimming in the lake
with more than three feet of his body
out of the water all the time. Harry
Cadle laughed at the others when they
called it the dreaded sea serpent and
getting into boat stated that he
would row out and capture it.
He rowed to the point and found
that it was really sea serpent He
struck it with his oar and the serpent
dashed at his boat overturning it and
throwing Cadle into the water. Cadle
managed to climb into the boat and
after desperate struggle with the
serpent escaped to the shore with the
aid of his friends. This is told as an
absolute fact although it does sound
like a pipe dream.
Many others have heard of this
sea serpent before and it is believed
by scientists that it is a prehistoric
animal, left in this inland sea when
the lake which once covered Nevada
dried up. Fossils of these big ser.
pents are found in many parts of the
state and it is reasonable that one is
still living in Walker lake.-4Gazette.

new PROBLEM FOR
chemists

A recent case, illustrating the won
ders, of chemistry, as applied to the
recovery of gold, will start new line
of inquiry and research. A Nevada
mining man, who is pronounced
blonde, uses pomade containing sui
phate of zine. He daily bathes his
face and washes his hands in little
stream or spring that gushes from a
ledge on his mine, which is very rich
in gold. Recently he was having his
hair dressed by barber, who vase al
so an old prospector and miner. The
barber examined the mans hair very
closely, using his magnifying glass.
Then he remarked: 81 have often
seen golden hair, but never before
hair of go,a; and, Ea,dner, voi'1
just like to know what kind of a
claim you have that turns hair to real
gold"
The miner thought the barber mere
ly joshing, and remarked: Every
thing I touch turns to gold"
The barber clipped off hair and it
showed under the glass as if gilded
with pure gold. The miner said moth
ing more, but hurried back to camp
and bagan investigations. Zinz shaw
lngs are used in the cyanide process
to precipitate gold. His pomade con-
tanned sulphate Of zinc. Then what
kind of water was it that carried so
much gold in solution. Some springs
it is well known carry large percent
ages of copper in solution which is per-
cipitated by iron. 1t is known sea
water carries enough gold in vol
ume mile square to pay the national
debts of t, e world, but what manner
of spring is this to give up pure gold
in such quantities when in contact
with sulphate of zinc pomades
The miner is now frantica1ly digging
sump hole to catch the spring water
and negotiating for few tons of
pomade. The writer has always been
looking for a cinch, and this seems to
be one. He is the only man except
discoverer who knows where that gold
en- stream flows and intends to locate
both sides of the creek as far as the
law allows and claim riparian rights.

TO COMPLETE W.P.
BY OCT. IS

l.. G. Skliris, labor contractor for the
Western Pacific, arrived in town yes
terday from California, having been
looking after his particular business
matters all along the line between Oak
land and Winnemucca. When seen at
the Lafayette today by a represents
tive of the Silver State News and ask
ed how construction work was pro-
crossing, Mr. Skliris replied:
Everything in that line il NOV
ing along in a satisfactory manner.
There are but three gaps remaining un-
finished. Between Winnemucca and
Golconda there remains but fourteen
miles of track to be laid. TO the west
of town the crew has reached q point
some two or three miles beyond Deep
Hole. There now remains less than
20 miles to be finished here, with q
gang on each end, laying about three
miles per day. Between Oroville and
Spanish creek bridge, down in Califor-
MIA, there is a gap of about twenty
miles to be completed.
Material is little slow in arriv-
ing, out unless there should be delay
occasioaed by waiting for rails, the
road should be completed between the
1st and 18th Of October.''

NOTED CHARACTER
DIES AT ELY

Ed Chase, resident of Ely for
some years and widely known among
old timers throughout Nevada, died at
the county hospital at clock yester-
day afternoon, as the result of para
lytic stroke sustained in his room at
night.
Ed Chase was one of the early ar
rivals in this county, having come to
Hamilton in 1868. During the White
Pine excitement he held down the job
of telegraph operator. During the
halcyon days of Eureka he was promi
nent in politics in that county, being
elected to the office of recorder and
auditor for two successive terms, serv-
ing until 1875.
For many years Mr.. Chase followed
gambling. Six years ago he was man.
ager of the Oberon in Reno, at that
time one of the largest gambling
houses in the state. The last few
years his health prevented him from
following his usual occupation. He was
about sixty-6ve years of age.
Mr.. Chase is survived by daughter,
Miss Minnie Chase, of Reno, who is
seventeen years of age.
Mr.. Chase was veteran of the Civil
war, and was buried with military

ORGANIZING STATE

q q q q q u u u u u q q n u q u
q The Silver State News is in re- q
q ceipt of the following communica q
q tion from James G. Givens, Sec q
q retary Of the American Mining q
q congress: q
q IT may be of interest to the y
2 mining men of the state to know u
Q that at the meeting of the Ame- o
q rican Mining congress in Gold q
q field on September 9th to Octo- q
Q Der I'd, We are going to organize q
Q Nevada brancr of the Ameri- q
Q can Mining congress, which we q
q think will be of considerable in q
q terest to the mining men Of the q
o state. In these days where raids q
q are sometimes made upon indivi- q
q dual rights from many directions y
q upon mining interests, it is inn q
. portant that mining men of the q
. country shall take some steps to q
q make their influence felt in con- q
q gress and the various state leg q
q islatures. The work of the Anne q
q rican Mining congress shows how q
Q miners may act effectively if q
q they cooperate with perfect Wig q
q or and intelligence. This con- q
q gress is composed of the repre- q
q sentative mining men from all q
q over the country, and doing u
q work for mining that has not q
q ben appreciated heretofore in Ne q
q vada. Through the efforts of it's q
q council its influence is being felt q
q now at our national capital. It's q
q efforts to secure the creation of q
q Bureau of Mines during the last q
. session of congress brought about q
q the passage of bill by the house =
. of representatives by vote of q
. 229 to 81. This bill failed in the q
q senate because of the impossibili- q
q ty of getting it to a final vote. q
. A determined effort will be q
y made by the national organiza- q
q tion at the next session of con- q
o gress to secure the final creation q
o of Bureau of Mines and the o
q mining men of Nevada can best .
q assist in the effort by joining the .
q congress and thus helping to .
q make the proposed Nevada q
q branch an active factor in this q
q work. .
q There are more reasons for .
q mining men to organize now than q
Q at any period in Nevada IS his q
q tory. There will be assaults q
q made upon our mineral property .
J rights in the future that have not q
Q been contemplated in the past. q
q No one con tell what mences may q
q be in store for us when future q
q legislatures meet. Demagogues q
q and mischief makers may be on n
q hand to make trouble for the y
q solid commercial mining interests q
q of this state. If the mining in y
q terests are organized and on deck, q
q the mischief maker will be in q
q clined to surrender ON vital prin- y
q ciples of good government. q
q The branch we are organizing q
q will be concentration of the eff q
q forts of leading mining men in q
q defense of their interests. Min q
q ing men should organize in the q
q state, not only to foster and q
q stimulate development of the q
