Senator William Finn, president OF
the Pittsburg Silver Peak Mining com
pany, has recently sent a letter to the
stockholders of the company, explaining
the famous Gamble suit that affects the
integrity of the company holdings. The
letter says, in part:
Enquiries are from time to time
made regarding the suit OF B. A.
Gamble eft al, in Washoe county, Ne
vada. and we deem it advisable to
Give stockholders short statement
of the situation.
s'This suit involves that portion OF
the holdings of the Pittsburg Silver
Peak Gold Mining company known as
the Silver Peak Mines, and has no
bearing upon the other holdings OF
the company, towit: Mohawk Alpine
companv mines, the railroad, stamp
mill. etc, of the company.
ssThe mining claims in controversy
are owned by the Silver Peak Goid
Mining company all of whose capitai
stock is held by the Pittsburg Silver

BIG TRAIN LOAD OF COPPER
SHIPPED OUT OF CAMP ELY

before has special train consisting
entirely of the red metal been sent
either from this district or anywhere.
The Ely Commercial League is to
see that the county receives ample ad-
vertising. Each car will carry pla-
card announcing the fact that the
trainload of copper comes from the
hills of White Pine county, Nevada,
the place where they have mountains
of copper and where the metal is being
produced cheaper than anywhere in
the world The railroad company will
not permit large banners to be placed
on the cars, but photographs of the
train will be taken and postal cards
containing the picture will be sent
throughout the country.
One cause OF the large shipment at
this time is believed TO be the fact
that a reduction in the freight rate
will go into effect tomorrow and the
present shipment is an accumulation
that has been made in anticipation Of
the low rate and the saving that win
result. -

EXPLAINED BY PRESIDENT

claimed was a full and complete set
Element of oll controversies.
Notwithstanding the decision of
the district courts of the state of Ne
yada at Reno, decided the Gamble
E.icasion in CANDLES favor.
"The Blairs will at the proper time
take an appeal to the supreme court
of the state of Nevada, and if it be-
comes necessary, will, of course, take
an appeal to the United States courts
on the ground that the controversy
had been litigated before. The Blairs
have employed able counsel, who ex-
press themselves emphatically that the
Gamble suit will be decided in favor
of the Blairs. In this conclusion our
counsel and ourselves agree.
"In the meantime, however, this
company must suffer some annoyance
on account of the litigation, but we
can assure the stockholders that we
are taking every step to protect our
rights.
ssWhen this property was purchased
from the Blairs it was under an agree
ment that in case the Gamble suit
should be decided in CANDLES favor,

Nifty the purchasers against the en-
forcement of any final Judgment

WAGNER-AzURITE CO.
SHOWING GOOD ORES

President Shear of the Wagner
Azurite Copper Mining company is In
Goldfeld and on Thursday attended
meeting of the stockholders of the COM
pany at which operating plans of the
company were discussed and outlined.
The Wagner Azurite company has
properties at Wagner and Atwood. The
property at Wagner is three-quarters
ct mile from the railroad and con-
sists Of 26 claims, upon which there is
shaft 457 feet in depth, and 100
foot crosscut on the 4O0-foot lever
which shows some ore. The extension
of the Wagner property is under the
control of George Wingfeld.
The Azurite property is mountain
of quartz, altered granite, lime and por-
phyry, carrying high grade copper val
ues and bromides of gold and silver.
The main ore body is some 500 feet
wide and can be worked by tunnels for
depth of 1000 feet. A tunnel has
been driven into the mountain for
distance of 460 feet and is in ore, mine
sampling showing returns of from 81
cents to $3.50.
There is plenty of timber and water
ON the property, and among projects
the company is now considering, aside
from active development, is the con-
struction of a mill for treating its own
ores at the dumps.

ELY CENTRAL REACHES
THE PORPHYRY ORE
Zone AT LAST

Word comes from Ely to the effect
that Ely Central is to make a great cop
nor mine. Engineer C. s. Herzig long
.oo advanced the theory that the
oround covered the extension of the
porphyry ore deposits that are being
worked in the great steam shovel pit of
the Nevada Consolidated, and that the
orv has been steadily combatted by
the most of the mining engineers of the
.ountry VIM. Parish held the same
onipion as did Herzig. The Ely Ex-
positor arrived here last night with the
following article relative to Ely Gen.
tral:
They have the porphyry ore in the
south crosscut of the Eureka shaft of
the Ely Central, the continuation of
the ore body of the steam shovel pit of
Nevada Consolidated. 1t was an
pouneed few days since that they
we're in the primary sulphides in the
pOrphyry in the crosscut at the 465-
foot level; but yesterday the ore taken
from that working was full of copper
glance, the identical ore of the steam
shovel pit.
This is by far the biggest piece of
news that has come from the district
in many day; bigger even than the
discovery of the sulphide ore in the
Clipper shaft of the same company,
Notwithstanding that that discovery
means a mine in itself for the COM
pany 1t is the big thing for the Ely
Central, the accomplishment of what
they have been seeking since the Eu
reka shaft was started more than
year ago Ii is good news for the
district apart from what it means to
the Ely Central, for it spells another
great mine at Copper Flat.
The discovery of the porphyry ore
in the Eureka is the last link proving
the theory of Engineer Charles S.
Herzig as to the Copper Flat fault, a
geological problem which has interest
ed the entire mining world. 1t was
Mr.. Herzig's theory that the rhyolite
covering the Eureka ground, adjoin-
ing the steam shovel pit, was flow
and not dixie, and that the Copper
! Flat fault, which cuts the pit in twain,
would be encountered at depth OF
/ from AGO to 470 feet, and that under
meath it would be found the primary
suphides in the porphyry, and that
above, or on the side of the fault fur
thest removed from the pit would
be found the porphyry ore.
| This theory was followed step by
step and every feature of it was proved
with development, until now they are
IN the porphyry ore above the fault;
and the great fight of the Ely Central
has been won.
The ore which is coming from the
south erosscut is identical in every re-
speet with that which is being taken
out from the steam shovel pit of the
Nevada Consolidated, the next door
nelghbor of Ely Central. What the
values are in the crosscut, if indeed,
assays have been received of them,
nas not been given out; but 1T is not
expected that they will go high at the
present point, for the reason that they
are not yet far enough away from the
limestone. With every round of shots
'ne ore is looking better and there is
10 question whatever, that they have

The above news comes as surprise,
as the Belmont operations have been
much smaller than the operations of the
Tonopah Mining company, with its sew
eral shafts and it's 100-stamp mill.
The production of the company is an
eloquent tribute to the richness and
greatness of the ore bodies that were
opened this summer at great depth,
and which are proving with develop
ment to constantly increase in size and
value with depth. The Belmont is CIV
ing southern Nevada another enormous
producer of mineral, another big divi-
dend payer and will materially aid in

Washington, Oct. LA number OF
Cherokee Indians from Oklahoma are
here to lay the grievance Of their peo-
pie before the president and congress

The Indians ask congress to take
away their citizenship and put them
urder the supervision Of the Indian
Office which had Jurisdiction over them
before Oklahoma became a state. In
the delegation are Red Bird Smith,
chief Of the Cherokees in Oklahoma,
and John R. Smith and Oslo Hogs
harter, two chiefs of the Cherokee
Nation. They say the Indians are

THE POPULATION Of MISSOURI
CENSUS FIGURES SHOW GROWTH
or 1se,e7o.
Buchanan County IN Which St. Joseph
10 Situated SHOWS a Decrease
Of 2e,s1s.

Washington, Oct. Census fig
ureS for Missouri have been made
public showing that the state has a
population OF S.2sS,S35. The popula.
tlon in 1890 was 5.106.665, making the
increase for ten years 1S6,67O, or 6
per cent.
Figures on the population Of four
counties. Jackson. Buchanan, Jasper
and Greene. ALTO we're given out. They
show that the population Of Jackson
county is 2S3,522, as compared With
1898 in 1900. This is an increase
OF $500.
The biggest surprise In Buchanan
county where the population of SO.
O20 is a falling of of 28,818 In the
last ten years. The explanation OF
this Is that the census returns OF
1900, which gave st. Joseph a popu-
lation of 100000 were grossly padded.
There is a possibility of a clerical
error in the Greene county returns
where the population Of 1881 shows
falling of Of 2O,1S7. Returns from
Springfield, which is in the county,
gave that town q big increase and
put 1t ahead Of Joplin.
Jasper county, which contains Jop-
lin, has population of 39,673, the
very nice increase Of 26.960.
