RUNAWAY CAR SMASHES
into 7. & E. TRAIN

A head-on collision occurred at 2
o'clock Wednesday Immediately IN
front of the Columbia depot between
the incoming Tonopah and Goldfeld
passenger train and a runaway box
car loaded with concentrates from the
Florence mill. But three persons, Dav-
Id Aspland, assistant general agent OF
the Tonopah and Tidewater railroad,
and DR.. C. c. Cox, a mining man from
San Francisco, and w. III. Smith, were
injured, which is the remarkable fea-
ture of the accident, for aboard the
train, which had just come to a stand
still, there were at least a score OF
passengers.
Aspland escaped with a severe : Jar,
being thrown from the steps of the
car which he was just in the act OF
leaving, against the corner OF the con-
Meeting car and then to the platform.
DR.. Cox Jared some worse, receiving a
bad cut on the nose and several severe
body bruises. Mr.. Smith had his arm
badly lacerated.
The injured men were placed IN car
riages and brought to Goldield, Asp
land to his home and Cox to st. Mary,s
Hospital. The passengers on the tram
escaping injury were all badly shaken
and frightened by their experience.
The box car broke away on q switch
near the Florence mill, a casting on the
set brake swapping and releasing ths
car. The grade from the mine to tha
depot is about three per cent, and con
sequently when the car, which was
loaded with about 40 tons of concen'
~trates, approached the depot it was
travelling, as estimated by witnesses, al
about a mile a minute. Whistles from
the mill sounded a warning to those
in Columbia, but nothing could be dom
to change its course.
Engineer Moore and Fireman Crow
of the passenger train, on observing tn
on-coming ear, started to back tn
train, but there was no time TO &c
away, and the collision occurred VIII

way through the freight car, scatterin;

nothing more serious than a sever
shaking up.
So strong was the compact betwe'

GOLD CIRCLE HAS ORE WORTH
A DOLLAR A POUND

After having spent some time In
stalling machinery for the Rex Mines
company at Gold Circle, X. r. Huffman
of the Kelly Filter Press company OF
Salt Lake, has returned home, says the
Tribune of Salt Lake.
The Gold Crcle district embraces an
extensive area of ryholite flows and
flow breccias, which are cut by dikes
of andesite flows. The ore deposits
in these are classified by the United
Stetes geological survey as belonging
to those of the tertiary period, which
deposits are typieally developed in Ne
vada at the Comstock, at Tonopah and
Goldfeld, at Tuscarora; in California
at Bodie; in Idaho at Delamar; In Col
orado at Cripple Creek.
The ore deposits in the main are re-
placement veins and sheeted zones in
rhyolite, trough in a few, and these i'm.
portant instances, on the andesite-rhy
olite contacts have been opened bodies
of ore.
Development work since the camp
was discovered about two years ago,
which has amounted usually to surface
scratching, has been scattered over
some eight or ten square miles, and at
only one or two points has any system
attic and substantial mining been done.
At these places, as well as at many
where the work has been limited, the
"leads" have responded literally and
are suggestive of hidden treasures vet
to be uncovered.
Find High Grade.
The properties are owned in the main
by poor men who must develop after
a chlorider's fashion, crushing the
higher grades of ore and amalgamating
by hand. A noticeable and pleasing
instance of this at the present time is
that of l~easers, on the Hardscrabble
vein, grinding so pounds per day with
a hand mailer and recovering 81 per
pound.
The recovery of the values contained
in the Gold Circle ores is extremely
simple, being free and amalgamating
readily, there being no base or inter

SELLING THE NINE THAT
RUINED GOV. JOHN SPARKS

The publication yesterday of a legal
notice of the sale of the interest 1T
the estate of the late Governor John
Sparks in the WedekInd mining prop
erty near Sparks, which proved SO dis
astrous to the fortunes of the lamented
official, has brought again into thu
limelight the memory of a time when
Washoe county was considered one Of
the most fruitful fields of mining ex-
ploration, says the Journal.
The sale has been ordered by Judge
Orr and will take place at the superln-
tendent's house of the Alamo farm,
two and one-half miles south of Rem,
on Dec. q next.
The list of parcels of mining prop
erty described as real estate are the
following claims, which will doubtless
be familiar to many of the old-time
mining men.
The Morning Star, the Empire, The
Reno Bell, the Reno Bell Extension,
the Highland Boy, the Calamity Of
prophetic name, the Queen, the Lilly
and the Wisconsin.
The Wedekind district at one time
produced fabulous values. At the time
of its sale to Governor Sparks it seem
ed at the very pinnacle of its prosper
ity, for following its purchase very
little of value was found. The ore
seemed to miraculously disappear and
the water came in and greatly impeded
working. The lode was lost and the

as the old one, and it has every indica-
ton of running even better, it will
produce an immediate tonnage that
can be mined very cheaply, as it will
only be necessary to crosscut from the
present shaft to tap it at various lev
els all the way down. AS soon as the
ore is opened up a little farther OF the
800 foot level, the main shaft will be
sunk another 100 feet and a crosscut
run to tap the vein again.

Another interesting application Of
cooling by means Of solutions which
have very low freezing point has
lately been made in mines. One Of
the greatest difficulties which can
occur in the operation Of sinking a
shaft is that presented by a stratum
Of sand saturated with water. In
more than one case this difflculty has
been overcome by freezing the sand
and water into a firm mass through
which the shaft can then be easily
