TALKING SHELTER FOR A
PROPERTY AT SODAvILLE

TONOPAH, Feb. 22.-Bob Stewart
of Sodaville recently gave an option
on his Sodaville property, consisting of
about 500 acres of patented land and
all water rights to a Boston concern
and it is probable that a complete mill
and smelling plant will be erected in
the near future. The plant will treat
the ores from the surrounding mines
and also from the Northern Belle prop
erty at Candelaria.
The Northern Belle, which is own
ed by a Boston concern, produced some
thing like $16,0O0,OO0 in the old days
and negotiations are now under way
toward the reopening of this mine. An
immense tonnage of low grade ore was
developed in the old days, and with a
smelter in operation at Sodaville, this
ore can be treated at a huge profit.

cEvFN TROUGHS STOCK
TO BE LISTED in N. Y.

, company mill is on kindergarten
ground, adjacent to the working shafts
of both properties. The deep SHOWS and
extremely cold weather of the past win
ter have made it difficult to get fuel
and supplies into the district, causing
the mill to interrupt work, 50 that it
is not only behind with work, but will
be swamped with Coalition ores for
months to come.
The management of Coalition is 20
pleased with the new rich ore values 10
the mine that it has determined to liss
the stock on the New York curb at
once and has planned to pay 8 divi-
dend not later than July.
The Big Dipper company of the Sew
en- Troughs district recently cut d vein
in a tunnel on their ground from eigll
teen inches to two feet thick, carrying
gold values better han $50 the ton.
The company is following the ore val
ues, having the vein stripped foI 20
feet, into the hill and will drive the
tunnel an additional 200 feet into the
hill on the vein. This Big DippcI VEN
is uncommonly strong, showing extern
siveness and permanency. The rharac-
ter of the ore is free milling and it
will be treated aC the Darby custom

singularly rich properties developing
in Seven Troughs, but the distrie' has

EUREKA LOOKS like
A COMING PRODUCER

The Eureka Mines company, owning
FIVE claims in the center of the D1a-
mondfeld district, is doing active work
on company account. General Manager
Case has a force of men busily at work
sinking on a quartz vein that vas en-
countered some time ago, and now IS
down 230 feet, with the quartz vein
constantly widening and improving IN
values. The quartz vein is in the da-
cite, the quartz associated with some
~alunite. Particles of iron sulphurets are
all through the quartz, and there are
some nodules of grey copper showing,
the quartz being Identical with much
of the Goldfeld ores in the dacite zone.
Some telluride stains are noticeable In
the quartz. There is some water COM
ing into the workings, and since the
water has been reached the quartz has
hardened and showed more silicification.
The shaft is equipped with an electric
hoist.

BOOST FOR THE ELKo GATEWAY

Elko is displaying the right kind of
a boost spirit and is making a strong
bid for popularity among gold-seekers
en- route to the new camp at Jarbidge.
The Independent has sent messages
to many of the papers in the state, in
which the merits Of Elko as the gate
way to Jarbidge are set forth concise
" and pointedly. The message re-
ceived by the Expositor today is as
follows:
Elko is the best Quitting point for
Jarbidge. The road between Elko and
Jarbidge is now open and it is the
shortest and best route to the new
gold camp. Outfits are going in from
here daily. People going to Jarbldge
will find the Elko route the shortest
AID cheapest.

KURGENS dies
OF HEM0RRHAGE

Henry J. Kurgens, a prominent min
ing man of Cuprite, president of tee
Cuprite Mining company and vice pres
ident of the Copper Daisy Mining com
pany, suffered a cerebral hemorrhage
while driving into Cuprite last Satur-
day and, on being brought into Gold
field and to st. Mary's hospital, died
a few hours later. He was attended by
DIR. +. A. Wheeler.
The remains were removed to Dunn s
undertaking p%arlors and this afternoon
were shipped for burial to Minneapolis,
where two daughters of deceased re-
side.
According to the testimony of Steph-
en- Gilbert, a miner, employed in the
Cuprite district, Kurgens, while driv-
ing, was seen to suddenly collapse Oh
the wagon seat and fall to the ground.
Though a fractions horse was attached
to the vehicle, the animal stopped in
the road almost the instant of the fall.
The stricken man was drawn from
beneath the wheels and brought as soon
as possible to Goldfeld. An autopsy,
conducted by DIR. Wheeler, showed a
eliot on the brain which could not, Judg-
ing by the condition of the skull, have
been caused by the fall.
The Jurors setting at the inquest
were: T. II. Cline, ]. c. Rupert, L. w.
Dittman, Thomas Kelly, A. H. Berry
and John J.. King.
Kurgens was a school trustee of the
Cuprite district and highly respected
by all in that community.

H. S. STARK, THE ENGINEER
DIES IN DENVER HOSPITAL

RADIO & Southern on the other. which
began at the Alice mine, twelve miles
from Idaho Springs yesterday after
noon and ended at the Mercy hospital
in Denver, death won when II. S. Stark,
hero of the Boer war and one of the
best known mining engineers in the
country, passed away at Z o'clock last
night.
With Stark at the end was his wife,
who accompanied him on the record
breaking run made by the special
which had been chartered to bring
Stark to Denver in the hope of securing
medical attention which might save
his life.
Stark death was especially pathetic
because yesterday was his 37th birth
day and preparations had been made
to observe the day in a fitting manner.
Death was due to diabetes, with
which Stark had been afflicted for a
long time. Stark's condition did not
get serious until Wednesday when re
was seized with sudden illness. He
continued at work, however, paying
little attention to the attack, until
yesterday morning when he began
feeling worse and almost Immediately
passed into a state of coma from which
he never reused. Word was sent to
Attorney Warwick NJ. Downing in this
city, Informing him of the grave char
aeter of tSark's illness. Downing at
once chartered a special train which
left Denver at 1915 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon for Idaho Springs with Drs.
E. w. Emery and w. II. Lougay on
board. The run was made in one noun
and thirty-ive minutes.
Upon the arrival of the physicians
at the bedside of Stark they saw at
once it was necessary to have the suf-
ferer removed to a hospital and the
return run was quickly made, the train
reaching Denver shortly after 5 O'Clock.
Stark is survived by a widow and
three children, the latter being in Cleve-
land, Ohio. Stark and his wife first
met while classmates at the University
OF California.

ii. 5. Stark, the mining engineer, un'
til recently stationed in Goldfeid, is
dead. This startling news was flashed
into town Saturday evening after The
News had gone to press. Mr.. Stark
passed away on the evening of Feb
ruary 18th, in the Mercy hospital in
Denver as a result of diabetes, from
which he had been suffering for some
time.
Mr.. Stark was general manager of
the Combination Fraction in Goldfeld.
He severed his connection with the
company about the first of the year,
and a few weeks ago left for the Clear
Creek district in Colorado to attend to
mining business. He seemed in good
health when he left here. While in
the Clear Creek country he became very
iii and was removed to the Mercy hos
pital at Denver, that he might have
the best medical attention in the coun-
try, but their efforts were of no avail.
Mr.. Stark was removed to Denver the
day preceding his death on a special
train, and was under the attendance
of physicians and nurses en- route to the
hospital.
Mr.. Stark was one of the best known
mining engineers in the Goldfeld dis
trict. He came here some three years
@ from the South African country,
where he had built up a reputation as a
consulting and especially a construct
ing engineer, mill construction being
his speciality. In Goldfeld he was en-
ployed by the Wingfeld interests, rs
general manager and consulting engi-
neer of the Combination Fraction COM
pany. For a time he served the May
flower Consolidated company in the
same capacity.
Deceased leaves a widow and three
children, who reside at Idaho Springs,
where Mr.. Stark had mining interests.
Interment will probably be at Idaho
Springs.

one side and a special train of the Colo

Science Answers Questions.
These questions, and others equally

reputation graveyards have for being

ghosts. of the kind now recognized as
real, do actually and not infrequentlv
walk about in such places. They are
seen at night (rathersthan IN the day

Cannot Capture Ghosts.

One cannot capture a ghost of this
kind. 1t cannot be trapped in box or
a bottle, and conveyed to a scientific
laboratory for examination or analysis.
Hence it is likely that the true eompo-
sition of phantoms will forever remain
as much mystery as it IS TODAY But
(supposing the theory here set forth 70
be eOrreet) it is a comfort to know. in
