CUPRITE SULPHUR COMPANY
WANTS ITS PROPERTY BACK

December 81, 1909. Gafford assigned
his interest to J.. f. Austin, who, in
turn assigned that holding to the Cup
rite Sulphur Mining company, organized
to take over and develop the tract of
ground proven to hold great bodies of
sulphur. Oldt and associates also were
to, and it is alleged, did receive $4,000
shares of the company stock as well as
$4,000 in cash.
The complaint asserts that when the
last payment of $4,000 became overdue
the defendants demanded the return of
the deed then in escrow pending final
payment and further that the bank
showed a disposition to release the docu-
ment. The injunction proceedings were
instituted to prevent such action.
The matter will be heard by Judge
Stevens on February 5 at 2 p. m.

satisfied to date by putting down new
stakes every year and thus lnsuring
themselves a locator's title for the bal
ance of that year..
Either some one was perpetratlng a
huge Joke in the sense of putting out
the item that the government would not
tolerate this kind of locating any more,
or else some such ruling has actually
heen made in an obscure ease. Enough
publicity has been given to this IDEA,
however, to brighten a great many hoid-
ers with claims under such titles, ana
at least a half-dozen inquiries have been
received by this paper recently asking
for further information along tht
designated lines. Many of them nave
even gone further, and written to thu
land Office at Washington, only TO re
ceive in return the same reply whlci
this paper has received, namely, ina
the department was not aware OF an.
such decision.

NATIONAL MINES LOOK

nino AS he passed the Radiator hill
lease on his return, Mr.. Dryer handed
him a piece of rock taken from the
face of the tunnel. In appearance the
ore is identical with that taken from
the Combination lease on Charleston
hill. and the free gold can be easily
seen with the naked eye. Mr.. Dwyer
row has his lease in for a distance OF
300 feet and has encountered ore all
the way varying in value from $500 to
$4,000 per ton.
Strike a Fine Ledge.
On the Nancy lease on the Snort
ing Bob,' a day or two ago, a three
foot vein of fine looking ore was en-
eountered. While no assays have been
completed as yet, it is the opinion of
mining men that it is very valuable.
The present tunnel cut the ledge at a
depth of only 80 feet, and a lower tun-
ney will be commenced at once to tap
the ledge at a considerable lower depth.

sold INTEREST in
HAMMOCK PLACERS

HAMMOCK, New, Jan. 19.-Ray
Ohmart, the discoverer of the placer
deposit a mile west of the townsite,
has sold his half interest for 5000. This
by no means represents the value of
the property, but Ohmart's financial
condition was such that he found him
self unable to keep up his end of the
DEVELOPMENT work, and besides this it
will be a couple of months probably
before any placering can be lone on
account of the deep snow and severely
cold weather. With an old style rock

came. produced 1920. From one hole,
particularly, a pound and a quarter OF
dirt produced 43 cents, and at this
rate the ground should produce $500
to the cubic yard, or $500 gold per ton.
The purchaser of the Ohmart interest
is Alex Walker, who located the Lime

grade gold ore has been taken by the

cago people, by which these parties Sc
cure 81 per cent of the stock of the
companies owning the Tlptop ana

miles east of here. The transfer called
for the payment of 100000. The re-

vouchsafe no information on the sub
iect. vet he is said to have been IN

machinery to the mines. There is d
dixie on the Hilltop mine about sixty
feet wide from which in an open cut
fifteen feet high and twenty-five feet
long. about $4,000 in high grade ore
was taken. In several places across
this dixie high grade spots are now Wis

work of consequence showing depth on
the property. The Independence is an
adjoining claim equally as rich.

Judge Orr Makes Further Ruling.
Last Friday, in open court here in
Winnemucea, Judge Orr made a ruling
in the case of National Mining com

the effect that unless plaintiff entered
into a stipulation accepting offer of de

Judge Orr granted an injunction re-
straining the Stall brothers from oper-
ating the Combination lease until its
legality had been determined by the
court, requiring plaintiffs to give bond
in the sum of $25 900, which was fur
nished. Defendants afterwards moved
to have the bond increased, claiming
that the time the injunction run would
be deducted from their lease, but OF

plaintiff would agree to extend their
lease. in case it was declared valid,

The Blair Press says that plans re-
Gently formulated to develop the enor-
nous deposit of salt in the lake-bed 81
the base of Silver Peak have crystal
lied into definite shape.
Several years ago the United
States geological survey, in describing
the Silver Peak quadrangle, directed
attention to the economical importance
of these vast deposits of salt, which oc-
eur in huge and irregularly-shaped
masses termed "playas.' The survey
observed by analysis that this salt was
80 per cent pure chloride of sodium, OF
common salt, which degree of purity is
unapproached by any similar deposit
on the continent save one, which is
located in a remote and inaccessible
region in San Bernardino county, Cali
fornia.
A number of leading citizens OF
Blair have decided to engage III the
business of manufacturing and dispos
ING of pure salt, by means of a volun-
tary association, which is to be strict
" mutual. With that object in view
they have organized the Silver Peak
Salt Producers association, a co-opera-
tive body composed at present of 81
members, but with provisions for in
creasing the number to $50 if desirable.
Heretofore operations in these salt

deposits have been carried on. in a
desultory manner, a few tons having
been harvested occasionally. But, since
the completion of the Silver Peak rail
road, transportation facilities are such
that, with improved methods of
economical manufacture, our salt can
be produced and distributed to consum-
ers to good advantage.
