CHU DYNASTY

The threatened outbreak in China is
causing much uneasiness in the United
States and Europe. Different causes
are assigned. One is said to be on ac-
count of American exclusion. Another
is the periodic outbreak against all
white devils.' Another cause which
is mo doubt the main one, is the long
planned overthrow of the Manchu
dynasty and tn eother reasons are used
as wells to mask the real movement.
The rebellion, or conspiracy, to over
throw the Manchu dynasty can be
traced pretty close to Japanese in
fluence. Some time since the papers of
the United States devoted considerable
space 40 criticizing an article publish
ed IN an eastern magazine, written by
General Homer Lee, in which he show
ed up with what ease Japan could oc-
cupy and hold the Pacific coast of the
United States. General Lees conten-
tions found many supporters among
American army and navy officers and
capitalists, among the latter Jacob
Schiff, who helped to finance the jap
anese war with Russia. General Lee
showed much familiarity with Japanese
military affairs
Now it is pretty well known. by a
few at least, that General Lee knows
more about the proposed attempt to
overthrow the Manchus than any 9th
er white man in the United States. in
as much as he is the commander in
chief in America of the forces of the
opposition. 1t is claimed that the
Chinese in this country organized and
drilled TO participate in the proposed
revolution amounts to many thousands.
well drilled, uniformed and armed.
who are capable of serving as officers
of home Chinese and capable of arm
ing, equipping and drilling an army
of 10000 men in a short time.
The Manchus are thick necked,
backward class, who have steadily oh.
ieeted to reforms of all kinds, which
has kept China in the rear of progress.
There is no wonder the reformers
educated in the United States and
Europe, observing the enviable position
Of Japan, wish to throw off the yoke
of the slow Manchus. However, will
this country and Europe profit by a
change that would put China wholly in
the hands of Japan9 Before it is too
late our secretary of state should look
into the scheme and act accordingly or
the open doors of China may close with
a bang in orr face some time, with
Japan holding the key.
4 Russia is also in the game and no
doubt aiding Japan and those now
T Threatening trouble in China against
all outsiders for neither Russia or
Japan shows the least alarm at the
present grave crisis.

DRILLING FOR OIL

J. E. Kerr, president Of the Hioh
Gravity United Oil company Of San
Francisco, which corporation recentlv
purchased the assets of the G. o. d.
company at Sulphur, arrived in town
yesterday morning. This morning a
representative of the Silver State call
ed on Mr.. Kerr at his room at the
Lafayette. single glance about the
quarters would convince one that the
premises were occupied by man inter
ested in oil, for about the walls were
hung panoramic views of gushers and
derricks, which were afterwards ex-
planned to have been taken from the
California fields of Bakersfield. Coal
inga, Mariposa, Sunset and Midway.
There was also an excellent photo Of
the famous Lakeview gusher, which
has produced 10000 barrels of oil daily
for 81 days. On a table were q num-
Der Oh views of the Sulphur fields, as
well as samples of oil and sandrock.
When asked what his company propos-
ed doing at Sulphur, Mr.. Kerr replied:
81 shall leave for Sulphur by the
first train, probably within the next
"a hours, and shall make complete
inventory of the tools and machinery,
for the purpose of ascertaining what
is needed to continue drilling opera
tions. Upon my return to California
the necessary equipment will be sup
piled from our shops at Half Moon
Bay, with the exception Of the casing.
We shall pull up the casing now in the
well at Sulphur, which is but 9h
inches in diameter, and in its place
use casing 1914 inches in diameter.
Owing to the tremendous activity in
the California oil fields at present this
larger casing is hard to get, the local
supply having been exhausted. How
ever, the supply house informs Us that
several carloads are now in transit
from the east and have promised to
divert a carload at Winnemucca. By
the time this is done, we will have
the equipment and men on the ground,
ready to resume drilling.',
Chow long viii it be before you re-
sumo work at Sulphur, Mr.. Kerri'' in
quired the interviewer.
Probably not more than 80 days.
was the reply, "and possibly before
that time. AS I stated, it all depends
upon our ability to secure the larger
casing.o

The Silver State was opened up about
the time silver was demonetized. About
$4,000 worth of high grade ore was
shipped, then the mine was closed
down. 1t changed hands two or three
times since, but aside from annual
work but little has been done since the
panic of 1907, when large price was
offered and refused for the property
While the Silver State has been class

show gold in good values. There are
FIVE distinct lodges on the seven claims
well defined, all more or less develop
ed Most of the ore that was shipped
came fom two incline shafts consist
ing largely of sulphurets, chlorides and
bromides.
A mill was built by the Denver
Quartz Mill and Ore Crushing Co last
fall to go onto this mine, but owing tc
the failure of one of the brothers tC

COMMENCE CUTTING HAY
IN LOVEIOCK VALLEY

Commissioner Stoker, who is in at
tendance on the regula. monthly meet
ing of the board, stats that hay cut
ting has been commenced in the Love
lock valley. Tn the upper valley, where
water was secured, tie crop is about
up to the average, willie irf the lower
valley it is mostly failure, owing to
the fact that no water was available,
as the dams and ditchs were destroyed
by the floods. On te Big Five ranch,
however. the water is still on the
ground and the soil so soft that it is
impossible to get stick on the ranch

The Stall mill will begin work in a
day or two on the accumulated high
grade ore, said to approximate in
value 100000. While tn ecrushing ca
pacity of the mill is nearly one ton per
hour, the grinding pans can handle only
about 600 pounds per day. There is a
sufficient power to handle much more
than this. and an increased milling ca
Ipacity only means additional grinding.

tached to this mill and will supply
mine, mill, hoist and camp with electric
lights, for which the wiring is nearly
completed. The milling operations are
in charge of l.. d. Hubbard, of the
Winnemucc aassay offie.
The high-grade mill of the National
Mining Company of Nevada is kept
steadily running on company high
grade ore. The new 4O-ton daily ca
pacity mill foundation has been fully
exeavated and the superstructure. ore

The Stall lease is now working 70

vein widening as depth is gained The
vein is now nearly perpendicular at the
bottom of the incline shaft. In the
face of No. 3 drift to south the vein

grade ore for each of the three shifts
now working.
Rich Ore From Company's Workings.
In tunnel No. 80 of the National
Mining Company, two nights ago. 270

ANOTHER LINE FOR
POSTAL TELEGRAPH

j. T. Herza, of Chicago, assistant su-
perintendtn of construction for the
Postal Telegraph company is in town
today, experimenting the unloading of
supplies that are daily arriving at this
station for his company. When asked
by a representative of the Silver State
as to how building operations of his
company in this state were progressing,
Mr.. Herza replied:
- We started from Salt Lake City
about month ago, and have about 80
miles constructed at present From
the Utah capital we shall follow the
line of the Western Pacific as far as
Wells, and from that point to Reno
shall use the right-ofway of the
Southern Pacific. At present we have
but the one force of men at work
but within the next two weeks shall
start a gang at Reno to work east and
during the summer will put on several
more at different points, with the oh
iect in view of completing she line
early in the fall.
"The Postal line from Reno to the
coast was completed last fall. and wher
the gap from Salt Lake City to Rene
is finished, the company will have three
lines from coast to coast, the other tive
now being in operation via the Cana
dian Pacific and Santa Fe railway
systems.

PARTY Will SPLIT
ON CONSERVATION

A Washington dispatch states that
conservation legislation in the senate
and the postal savings bank in the
house constitute the features of the
congressional program for the coming
week. The general opinion is that
both measures will be voted upon be-
fore Saturday night and that they will
be sent to conference.
Party lines will be dissolved and new
lines of insurgency developed in the
senate in connection with the public
land withdrawal bill, which, it IS ex-
pected, will be taken up at once.
Some of the western members are pre-
pairing to make vigorous assaults upon
the Roosevelt Garfield administration
of the public domain. especially as re-
CARDS the blanket withdrawal of large
areas. It is not improbable that this
course viii lead to some bitter criti-
.ism of the more conservative policies
of the Taft Ballinger administration
Withdraw Public Lands.
The discussions will arise over the
consideration of the administration bill
which has already passed the houe, to
authorize the president to withdraw
public lands for purposes of classifca-
tion, for the protection of water power
sites, for forest reserves and to prevent
mineral lands from falling into the
hands of monopolies. Many western
members, notably Senators Warren and
Clark, of Wyoming, Hepburn and
Borah, of Idaho, Carter. of Montana,
and Hughes, of Colorado. express fear
that the enactment of this measure
would mark the return of the policy
of "locking up' great tracts of land
and that the western states might be
deprived of tie benefits that would
accrue from their development.
On the other hand, the more radical
program carried out during the regime
of former Chief Forester Pinchot is
favored by such western members as
Senators Dixon, of Montana, Flint and
Perkins, of California. Piles, of Wash
ington, Chamberlain and Bourne, OF
Oregon, Smoot and Sutherland, OF
Utah, and numerous others.
Administration leaders are commit
ted to the conservation legislation ad
vocated by President Taft and it is no
doubted therefore that the house bill
for the withdrawal of public lands fo
conservation purposes will be passed a
an early date and that the measure
will emerge successfully from confer
ence.
