Mr.. Frank J. Campbell, the president
of the Nevada California Power com
pany, is dead. The news was received
last night by telegram from Denver,
stating that he had passed away early
in the evening, after an illness of about
ten days. Mr.. Campbell vas making
preparations to come to Nevada and
give the work of the power company
active attention when he was stricken
with double pneumonia. Daily tel
egrams have been sent to the Goldfeld
office advising his business associates
here Of his condition, and the news has
been most encouraging until yesterday,
when the crisis came and he passed on.
Mr.. Campbell is one of the best
known business men in the state of
Colorado and a gentleman of such esti-
mable character that he was beloved by
all his business associates and all who
knew him as a friend. He has been
closely identified with the development
OF southern Nevada since 1904, and il
was his good business judgment and
keen foresight which brought about the
investment of millions of dollars in the
development of electric power for the
benefit of the mining interests of Gold
field, Tonopah, Rhyolite, Silver Peak
and other mining districts of Nevada.
In 1904 he came to Nevada and Cali
fornia with C. M. Hobbs, Loren Curtis
and Charles +. Potter, and after max
ing a thorough examination of the field,
il was decided to incorporate The Ne
vada Power, Mining & Milling company,
now the Nevada California Power com
pany, and to develop the water power
of Bishop creek and transmit it 12O
miles across two mountain ranges and
the long deserts into Goldfeld and Ton
opah. This was a stupendous under
taking at that time, involving an ex-
penditure of large sums of money, with
no certainty in an adequate return, ex-
cept the faith, and hope which the in
vestors had in the good business judg-
ment of Mr.. Campbell and his asso-
eiates.

Second Shipper at Pioneer.
The strike that originally made Plo-
neer famous, a year and a half ago.
when the Pioneer lease opened an ore
shoot of sensational size and richness,
has been duplicated and, strangely
enough, by the man who made the
strike in the Pioneer lease.
J. R. Bryan, operating the Sunrise
Pioneer Leasing company, which op-
crate a lease on the K. X. claim, 500
feet to the Pioneer lease, has by a tun-
mel reaching a vertical depth of 200
feet. opened an ore shoot identical with
that in the Pioneer lease at the same
depth. His tunnel cut through ~ feet
of SO to SIS ore, and a Wine sunk IN
the ore shoot revealed along the hang
ing wall side four feet of 500 ore, with
the rich shoot increasing in size and
value with every foot of the winze. The
four feet of rich ore is now being sack
ed for shipment rs broken down. The
ore is a rhyolitic quartz, associated
with tale, shows much free gold and IS
a free milling proposition. 1t is iden-
teal with the ore from the Pioneer
lease, and, in fact, lays against the
same dyke that forms one wall in the
Pioneer lease workings.
Robert Tobin of Pioneer, n of the
owners of the property at Pioneer on
which the Pioneer lease is located, and
who, with his brother, w. d. Tobin,
WAS d ploHteI VI IhO camp "NU O
of the largest operators in that dis
trict, states that the last of the litiga-
ton that involved the camp last spring
is now being cleared away, and In
about two weeks this last question will
be settled. This involves the Indiana
ground of the plaintiffs and the Con
sentative ground of the Pioneer Con-
solidated Mines company. As soon as
the litigation is settled the Pioneer
Consolidated will start extensive opera
tions on company account, and there
will be a revival of leasing operations.
Asked as to when the Pioneer CONSOLE
dated expected to build a mill, Mr..
Tobin said:
whenever mining conditions ac-
tually justify. There is enough low
grade ore there now to run a mill, say,
of 20-stamp size, for quite a while, but
wise mining demands that more ore
blocked out and the low grade ore in
the various workings got into better
shape for handling before a mill is
built. But whenever conditions justify
and demand the mill, it will be built
and of a size to suit the need

Bullfrog district is looking better
now. from a productive and physical
mining standpoint than at any previous
time in its history. Not only are the
Montgomery4Shosnone, neane Wonder
and Mayfower mines keeping up their
steady production, but several small
mills lave either just started operation
or are in course of construction, and
several other mills are to be built in the
not distant future.
The Bond strike on Bare Mountain,
to the east of Beatty, has attracted
much attention, and that it is a bona
fde find has been verified. Along a
porphyry contact system a ledge has
been exposed for a distance of 600 feet,
and average width of 81 feet, that
averages $40 per ton. This, of course,
is surface showing. The formation of
the mountain, however, is such that the
ore that is in sight can be quarried out,
and even at $40 per ton would make a
good milling proposition. The dis
coverer of the big ledge has been work
ing for two years, trying to discover
the source of the float at the base of
the mountain, the float carrying good
gold values.
Mill Building Operations.
At Rhyolite the 10-stamp mill of the
Eclipse Development company, that has
a long-term lease on part of the Tramps
Consolidated estate, will be in operation
about the Goth of March. The mill is
equipped with stamps, amalgamation
and cyanide departments. 1t is esti-
mated that the development company,
by it's own workings and development
of old lease workings that encountered
only milling ore, has some 5000 tons
of So to $40 ore blocked out sufficient
for a long run. Other leasers on the
Tramps estate are taking out small
shipments of high grade ore right
along, but the low grade is being left
in their workings, or on the dumps
where necessary to extract it from the
workings.
The 30-ton crushing and amalgama-
ton mill of the Nevada Ore Treating
company, at Beatty, started work this
week on a large shipment of $40 ore
from the Pioneer lease. This is a Gus
tom mill exclusively, and a rate of
IS per ton for all ore up to $50 per
ton value has been fixed as a milling
charge. The operators of the mill state
that they believe they will eventually
be able to make the exceptionally low
rate of S. per ton.
The Chloride Cliff company, owning
ground near the Keane Wonder, is con-
structing a road to their property, over
which machinery and supplies for a
ten stamp mill may be hauled, work of
construction of the mill to commence
very soon. The Crest Gold company,
laying between the Chloride Cliff and
the Keane Wonder, has a force of men
at work, the force soon to be increased
to 25 or 80 miners. A small mill is be-
ing planned for. Both the above prop
critics have good bodies of milling ore

drilling machinery. The difference
between drilling methods 10 years
ago and now might be compared to
the difference between the pick and
the shovel and the steam shovel.
The main shaft of the drilling rig
was, in the old days, about three in
ches in diameter. At present it is
six inches, being four times as
heavy and many times as strong.
and the difference in weight,
strength and efficiency of the ma
chinery and tools throughout is in
proportion. The weight of one large
drilling bit, such as is now used, is
about as great as the entire 40-foot
string of tools was a few years ago
and as a consequence it can conser-
vatively be said that it is just as
easy to drill 4,000-foot hole now,
as it was to drill 1,500-foot hole
few years ago.
The skill of the miner Of Crude
Oil has kept pace with that of the
machinery, and the California drill
er today is the "finest" at the tenn
per-screw that exists in any field in
the world. The great variation in
the character of the formations
drilled and obstacles to be overcome,
have given the practical operator an
education not be had elsewhere.
The character of the pipe now
used is also a fair index of the
change in the use of material. Ten
years ago 5s inch casing weighing
about 10 pounds per foot, was con-
sidered o. X; today the same sized
pipe weighs about double. The
large sized pipe, say 10 and 12-inch,
weighs about 40 pounds per foot,
and an English company used an 49,
inch special which cost $3.50 per
foot and weighed 100 pounds per
foot.
The facts are noteworthy in show
ing the revolution in methods en-
ployed in securing Crude Oil from
the earth. A few years ago, the
mention of any such size or weight
of material such as is now used in
California would have been consid-
cred ridiculous.
The inevitable expansion of the
Crude Oil industry in California is
just starting in, and reports to the
contrary, Notwithstanding, it can be
safely said, that there never was
enough produced in the state to war
rant any fear of over-production. T

scene is changed. For with the
grid-ironing of the state by pipe
lines, all producing districts of any
Importance have been put practical

the other shores of the Pacific Ocean
are many people as anxious to buy

fornia producers are to sell it.
California Crude Oil is the thing
of the day. Never before has the
investor had the same opportunity
of receiving large returns for money
invested as is offered by the Califor-
MIA National Crude Oil Company.
You will have to admit that you
can make money by properly invest
ing in oil companies. Now what
you wish to know is, "Is the Cali
fornia National Crude Oil Company
the right Company" 1t is beyond
a reasonable doubt. The company
owns it's own land and is managed
by conservative business men. When
you consider the thousands of acres
this Company owns you cannot help
but be convinced of the worthiness
of your attention and investment.
Supposing we only bored one we'll

only fifty barrels per day, and the
oil sold for only SO cents per barrel,
which you will have to admit is
very low average all around, just
supposing this the case, can you not
foresee the enormous income that
will be derived from the investment

Five thousand wells would net
100000 per day, $3,OO0,OOO per

you see the possibilities? 1t is so
phenomenal that it hardly seems
possible.

last three months one we'll in Cali

cents per share. There is no time

TO QUIT POLITICS
RIGHT REV. THOMAS GAILOR
BISHOP OF TENNESSEE, SAYS
CLERGYMEN CANNOT SAFELY
TAKE PART IN POLITICAL
MATTERS.

The Rt. Rev. Thomas Gailor.
Bishop of Tennessee, delivered the
sermon at the annual meeting Of the
Christian Social Union, a national
organization of the Protestant Epis-
oopal church, this morning In Trinity
Episcopal church. A large cOngre-
cation was present. The rector, the
Rev. Hamilton Schuyler, and the
Bishop OF New Jersey, the Rt. Rev.
John Scarborough participated in
Ghs services,
The sermon was highly instructive
and received with earnest attention.
Bishop Gailor forclbly pointed out
the duties OF the Christian ministry
and the church people generally In
the work of ridding society of the
crying wrongs. He urged wise,
conservative but unflinching policy
in this regard and cited that self
righteousness and lmpulsiyeness
may spoil the noblest endeavors.
THAT is what was the trouble In
Tennessee, he commented, when
the temperance agitation resulted
In unwise legislation.
Many people thought state wide
prohibition to be the ideal romedy.
Instead of calling to their aid some
experts on the subject and having
laws framed that could be enforced,
they forced through the legislature
measure that has led TO civic de-
generacy. Il is impraoticable and it's
violation Is productive OF hidden and
shameful evils. You cannot pass
laws that way. The reformers
should leave law-maklng to wise

American indifference and tbs
cupidity OF the mine barons ars
responsible for the needless sacrifice
OF the lives OF thousands OF American
miners each year.
According to figures submitted tc
the senate committee on mines and
mining, nearly $4,000 coal miners
alone who lost their lives during
the past 10 years might have been
saved had proper mining reguIa-
tions been observed.
This Is new information. Metal
mine disasters attract but little
notice, owing to the fact that it ia
seldom a large number of miners
are killed in any one accident. But
the metal mine accidents make up
In frequency what they lack IN
size.
In the Iron county, Michigan,
ore mines nearly seven of every
thousand laborers employed are
killed each year. The man who
takes Job in an Iron county mine
has about the same chance of liv-
ing a year out as the men striken
with appendicitis has of pulling
through his Illness.
America, profligate with her
lives, is just as wasteful Of her
natural resources. The committee
on mines is informed that the an
nual waste of coal in mining Is
$50, 100000 tons. The total produc-
tion is only 500 100000 tons. That
is, the mine operators threw away
one ton for every two tons they
bring to the surface. All because
it is cheaper to mine that way.
1t is to do away with this Grim
inal waste of life and resources
that the government geological ex-
perts are proposing an American
bureau of mines. The bill provid-
ing for the bureau has been re-
ported favorably from the commit
tee, and Is likely to pass.
The life-saving service will be un-
dertaken by the new bureau. Sta
tions with men and apparatus to
respond to alarms will be situated
in mining districts, and 1t is be-
Iieved many lives will be saved.
Over 100000 men work in Amer
lean coal mines. Great Britain,
with 10000, killed in 10 years
only 10000 men---a little more than
half the United states' total.
But European mine bureaus have
enforced rigid safety lamp regula-
tions, have regulated the use of ex-
plosives, and have kept coal dust
down by sprinkling. Effective res
cue work in time of accidents has
kept the death rate low.

TRUTH-GAL ONE. &C.. 49,. 80.
It is doubtful If any age in history
has ever presented the same remark
able chances for profitable invest
ment which the present age affords.
All American industries are growing
and yet, with all the waste which a
prodigal generation allows, success
is the keynote of the age. The doz-
ems of "self-made" men, "kings of
finance" captain of industry" ETC.,
mfllionaires all, whatever they are
called, attests that fact.
The majority of these men were
born under humble roofs. But they
had the great power of 'seeing big"
looking for big things, the invest
ment that would treble itself, in
crease itself a thousand fold, with
the result that today they are on
top.
These men were not 2 per cent
men; they were not per cent or
per cent men. They we're 1000 per
cent men, and they dared to use
their own judgment. The late e. Fl.
Hartman is reported to save said
that he was not 10 per cent man
He wanted a return on his invest
