USEFUL METALS IN NEVADA

1t is interesting to pGuse any authoriive treatise o. the geology and
mineralogy of Nevada. The fact is admitted and proven by dividend records

eeled the record of any other commonwealth or nation at least ten fold.

1t is pronounced upon the best of authority that this state is the most
widely and variousy mineraIzed territory of any of equal extent o n the
globe.
Mineralogists report the existence of LAT varieties If utlable minerals
and metals in this state.
Radium exists in the pitch bende deposits. Black diamonds have been
found. Quicksilver la be obtained from the cinnabar deposits in the quart
ute. The opal, w and turquoise are to be CLEANED from their matrices.
Platinum in commercial quantities has frequently and authortahvey
been reported. Seams of tungsten, wolframite, scheehte other store

STEADY WORK ON Lind
LEASE ON BOOTH

IN the Lind lease on the Booth
ground, the crosscut to the east from
the 26O-foot level of the old Durgan
shaft is out 161 feet, and progressing
at the rate of six feet and better per
day. Three shifts are employed IN
the work, and considering the hard,
blocky character of the rock that is be-
ing cut, the footage is splendid, when
if is remembered that hand drills are be-
ing used.
The blocky daeite that is being pen
e~trated is well filled with particles OF
iron pyrites, and assays show a few
cents in gold almost continually. Inc
management of the lease does not ex'

tance from the present workings has
been traversed, however.

WlNNEMUCCA, March 1s.-"Na-
tional is the coming permanent camp
heralded by all mining men who have
inspected conditions in that wonderful

the past two weeks has taken a great
deal of the snow off the mountains all
over the district and prospeetors are
digging on their claims. The ore show

greater every day and now cover an
area from the mouth of Eighteenth
creek on the north to Canyon creek on
the south. This large section, following
the contour of the mountain range. is
one great belt of porphyry which is
traversed by innumerable mineral bear
ing veins, many of which have the ear
marks of developing into paying mines.
In many places in this big belt there
are outcrops of veins that show ore
that will pay to mill.
National has its peeuliarities like
other camps in the state and where

Shewan shot down the raise towards
the next level and a horrible death.
The s0-pound sack of samples on his
shoulder hampered him as he fell. He
could not catch the track rails as he
fell between them. But instinctively
he spread his feet wide apart.
BY the merest chance, his left foot

smooth footwall-the only such prejec-

friction of his rubber boot was all that

and caught his arm.

he roared. But Shewan passed them
up, and, taking a strong grip on Ken
nedy's wrists, was pulled out of his
predicament.
All three men were white as sheets

been the worst scared, had run for a
rope and was amazed to find Shewan
alive and talking when he returned.

TROUGHS
in splendid
CONDITION
Especial Correspondence


VERNON, March 21.-There are few
mining districts perhaps, disclosing ore
of high uniform value, regarding which
so little has been said in a public way,
as that of Seven Troughs. The excel
lence of some of the properties, both in
quantity and richness of ores, will
eventually make the district famous.
Though the past winter has been a pro-
traeted one in Nevada and unusually
severe in Seven Troughs, freezing the
water supply of the four mills in the
district and rendering needed supplies
of all kinds difficult to obtain, work
has been persistently pursued by many
different properties, either producing or
developing in ore.
"Seven Troughso mine has been
closed down for weeks, through unfav-
orable weather conditions and attend
ant delays, ~endeavoring to get on the
ground a powerful steam hoist, pump
and compressor. The Florence lease on
this estate has its ore bins full of Sc
lected ore awaiting a chance to run its
mill. The ore bins Of the Coalition
mill and those of the mine, as well as
the space along the track from mine TO
mill and every available space in the
mine, are filled with ore of rare value
waiting for the weather to permit the
of their mill to drop.
Work on Big Dipper is being pushed
in driving a tunnel 800 feet on the
vein, stripping the ore. Leasers on the
Buckhorn have opened up additional
fine values and are prepared to keep
the custom mill busy during the time
allotted them for the treatment of their
ores. Leasers on the Boilermaker
group are developing the Big Dipper
vein which cuts their ground. They
are down 120 feet in values averaging
better than $40 across seven feet of
ore.
There seems to be an awakened de-
.and for leases in Seven Troughs for
additional blocks were let recently
on Coalition ground, where the Engi-
neers lease is already sacking ore, said
to average 500 the ton.
Mazuma hill leasers recently pumped
from the Badger Hill mine
through the fire hose of the town
stretched down the canyon to the Ma
yuma mill, while they treated a guam
tity of ore which relieved their glutted
ore bins. The regular water supply of
the Mamma mill has been frozen for
so the leasers adopted this
means of making a mill run, emptying
the ore bins and raising a fund with
which to pay men and to continue
work.
Wild Bull, Gold Prize, Peter Pan,
Eclipse, Caesar, Hero Nevada ard other
properties in the district, besides a
of l~easers, are conducting Tx
underground work in fair val
aes. and that too in the face of the
.nnfavorable conditions of the past win
ter. This activity II a mining way ex-
presses the confidence of the operators
makes for more producing mines IN
.he near future.

ORIGIN OF NAVAL TITLES.
Borrowed Military Terms From tho
Arabic and tho Spanish.


In the carly days the rank of ad
miral was unknown The chief Oil
Ger of a squadron was called Il con
stable or justice. The term ad-
miral as now used is derived from
the Arabic 'amir," or "cmir," a
commander Gas in "amir- albahr, :
commander of the sea- The early
English form was "amlralP and is
still preserved as such by the
French. The Spanish and Portu
gucsc terms are "almlrantc," the
italian "ammlraglio" The title
captain is not naval but military
one. Under the older organization
the real captain of a ship was II
master, but a military officer was
placed on board, though he knew
nothing about nautical affairs. AS
the captain became bigger and big
ger the master became smaller and
smaller until at the present day he
fills a subordinate position, which IS
gradually becoming obsolete, being
replaced by an officer under the title
of a navigating lieutenant
Commodore comes from the
Spanish commentator" The title
lieutenant, borrowed directly from
the French, is more modern and is
meant as Il place holder or one who
took the place Of the captain when
absent. Sublieuicnant is still moro
modern and at the same time mss
