TURNER SEEKS TO SECURE
MONOPOLY ON TUNGSTEN

n. Marriott, a well-known mining man
ard merchant of oseeola. Mr.. Turner
received a deed to these holdings about
two months ago. The actual consider
alton was rot made public, but il is
believed to have beer in The neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
A subsidiary corporation to the U. 5.
Tungsten company has already beon
organized. 1t is known as the Heuber-
mite Tungsten company, ana Is formed
under the laws Of Nevada. The com
pany own a group of claims on Viii
liams creek, south CT Mt. Wheeler. De-
velopment work will be undertaken on
these mines shortly.
The United States company also con
trolls twelve claims in the Regan dis
trict, White Pine, on which bond and
lease were taken last month by L. l..
Fletcher, the Ely representative for o.
A. Turner. The ground was formerly
owned by Caster Olsen and G.. G. Sims.
The Claim will be Systematically de-
veloped under Mr.. Fletcher's supervi-
sion according TO the terms of the
lease. He has the privilege of p~urchas-
ing the group within 6 year for $4,000.
Work of an extensive character has
been prosecuted at the Hub during the
last year by Mr.. Fletcher and a large
force of men have heen employed in
opening up these mines. A mill and
concentration to treat the ores from
the different properties owned by the
Turner interests is now in course of
construction at the Hub. The plant
will be capable of treating 100 tons OF
crude ore a day.

ELY, Sept. 2S.-Desiring to secure
4 monopoly on the supply Of tungsten
in this country, Oscar f. Turner, presl-
cent of the Ely Contra! Copper com
pany, and the promoter of the Tonopah
Miriug company, has successfully float
ed the United States Tungsten com
pany, with three distinct groups OF
tungsten mines IN White Pine county as
the basis Of the Incorporation.
Articles of incorporation of the corr
paIy, which plan TO control absolutely
the tungsten market in the United
States. were prepared in Philadelphia
last week. The company is organized
under the laws of Delaware and is cap
italized fer $1,000, 600. Associated with
Mr.. Turner in his new venture are a
coterie of eastern financiers who have
been interested with him in a number
of profitable mining deals.
The first intimation that Mr.. Turner
lad succeeded in interesting a syndi
cate of eastern capitalists in his tung-
stem properties in this county was re,
received last week, when a deed from
O. A. Turner to the United STATES
Tungsten company, transferring title 20
fifty claims in the eastern part of the
state were filed.
The properties that form the nucleus
of Turner's latest corporation arc sit
uated at the Hub, about twelve miles
south Of Osceola. The deposits of tnng
stem in that district are said to he the
largest in the world.
The tungsten mines at !ha Hub were

RAWHIDE MINING OPERATIONS
STEADILY PROGRESSING

RAwHIDE, Sept. 20. - President
King of the Coalition during the past
few days finished taking some fne lev
els for the location of the cyanide plant
and left Friday morning for San Fran
cisco with all necessary data to plae,
the order for she complete cyanide
plant with the Pacific Tank Company.
The plant will have a capacity of from
60 to IS tons per DAY and will be 50
arranged that the tanks can be added
as required to keep up with the de
mands Of the district. 1t is expected
shat this plant will be- in complete ope-
ration early in December, and it rs
more than probable that the ore de-
velope1 by the time the plant is ready
to run will warrant a number of add
tional tanks in the cyanide plant and
also additional crushing machinery in
the mill. a campaign Of development
has lately been started in the camp,
and the best feature Of this activity is
the good results that are being OBJ
tanned in the greater part Of the work
ings.
Mr.. King. before taking the auto,
stated that his trip to San Francisco
was for the sole purpose Of placing the
order for the cyanide plant. He sail
that tie question had been definitely
settled and that the plant would be
forthcoming now as fast as the rail
roads could bring it IN. He also stat
ed chat there would be 100 tons or more
in the plant and that he had been con
ferring with Craig Catterson regarding
the matter of hauling it in from the
railroad station at Fallon. He ex-
peeted that he would have TO get some
FalIon teams to help freight it in, rs
it is the intention of the company to
get the plant in position as fast as pos
sible, now that the matter has been
settled.

has been broken into this week. This

is a great help not only to the leasing
concern but TO the holding company "a
well. as it aids the ventilation a great
deal. 1t is expected that the st. Ives
will be in a condition to begin stopping
orc in a few days.
Phoenix Lease Has Compressor.
At the Phoenix lease they now have
their compressor in commission and
arc operating two drills with 1t. They
are pushing their crosscut to the east
from the 800 foot level. Stopping is
row going on both north. ard south on
this vein, and there appears to be no
end TO the ore thas is in sight.
Cook Raises Money for the Victor.
Word has been received from Pres
dent Cook of the Victor lease, who lefs
for the east severai weeks ago, that he
was being successful in raising eonsid-
cradle money and that he would start
sinking .he shaft of the company to
the 400 level at once; also doing "a
large amount eff development work.
This lease has already produced nearly
5000 tons of ore above the 200-foot
level, SO it is fair to presume that 1t
will be a large producer for the re
mainder of its life, then leaving guam
titles of ore for the parent company to
work on i'm The future.
Company Promises Active Work.
There seems no question row but
that the management of the Coalition
company intends 10 do q large amount
Of work on company account, and to
do it in a thoroughly systematic man
her; also to provide the best means of
treating the ores, SO as to get the great
es! values from them at the least posi-
bic expense and to give their %stockhold-
ers a run for their money.
Coalition Crown Lease Still Sinking.
The lessees on the Crown block have
decided to continue sinking their shaft
below the 300-foot level until the first
Of the month, when shey will stare

understood that they have raised con
siderable money for their treasury and
that they will fall into the ways of the
parens company by doing work on 8
large scale.

new COURSES IN SCHOOL
WORK prove POPULAR

The new courses of the commercial,
domestic science and manual training
departments which have been inaugu
rated in the Goldfeld public schools sre
proving to be most popular additions to
the curriculum as established by Super
intendent McK1y. A large enrolment
has already proved tbe success of the
courses, and the interest which thcy
have awakened among the students is a
guarantee of their continuance.
The commercial course, under the di
rection of Miss Batson, IS in operation
on the lower floor of the high school
building, and a glance at the equipment
shows il to be most complete. The
room contains eighteen of the latest
and most improved writing desks,
are adjustable to all the re
quirements of the students, and which
contain all the latest appliances de
for their needs. Five typewrit-
ers are at the disposal of those WHO are
taking up typewriting, and the short
hand system taught in the department
is recognized as most adaptable to the
requirements of those taxing that
course. These classes are all well at
tended, and much interest S shown in
