MILL BUILDING in
PROGRESS At eureka

EUREKA, June 1.-THE Farmers
Mining company this week received
about 81 tons of machinery and build
ing material for its new cyanide mill.
Minoletti Bros teams arrived Sunday
with II tons, which consisted of a Cor
liss engine and tank material. The
Tedford teams came in Wednesday with
20 tons of cement and more tanks.
The Minolett; teams this week have
been engaged in hauling the Kaeding
Construction company's steel derrick
and steam hoist from the Windfall mine
to the new mill site, anc trans arring a
lot of lumber and timbers the company
purchased from the Holly mine on
Adams Hill. When this. hauling has
been completed these teams will resume
freighting the mill material from Pail
SADIE.
Through an arrangement made with
the officials of the Richmond-E Eureka
Mining company, the Farmers Mining
is now able to secure enough
lumber and timbers here to complete
it's mill without waiting to have this
hauled in by teams from P~alisade,
will greatly expedite matters and
hasten the early completion of the
plant. They also secured from the
Richmond Eureka enough rails to com
plete the track through the Prospect
Mountain tunnel.

The old
SILVER STATE Mine

WINNEMUCCA, June 11.-After
several months negotiations with the
Carnahan brothers, of Baker City, Ore
qon. owners of the Silver State group,
located 25 miles north of Winnemucca,
the deal was closed yesterday by the
arrival of a deed to the property, con-
veying it to j. K. Mulkey of this place.
The Silver State was opened mp
about the time silver ~=s demOnetlzed.
About SIS 1000 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 a large price was
offered and refused for the property.
While the Silver State has been class
ed as a silver mine the latest workings
show gold in good values. There are
FIVE district hedges on the seven claims,
we'll defined. all more or less develop
ed. Most of the ore that was shlpPeu
came from two incline shafts consist
ing largely of sulphurets, chlorides ana
bromides.
A mill was built by the Denver
Quartz Mill and Ore Crushing company
last fall to go onto this mine, but owing
to the failure of one of the brothers 10
sign the deed, nothing was done. Now
that the title is clear the property will
be improved.
The Silver State is only a few miles
east of the Barrett Springs mlnes, IN
the same valley with the National.

others, but nearer Winnemueca tha'

new wage SCALE IS
ADOPTED AT FAIRVIEW

FAIRVIEW, June 10.-The town Of
Fairview seems about to undergo a re-
modelling all around, since the merger
of the Nevada Hills and Fairview
Eagle companies.
The new management has adopted a
new scale of wages, so this paper is in
formed, and has given notice that the
mines will not be governed by union
rules. The new scale of wages took
effect on the first of this month, and
is as follows: Miners, 81 per shift;
muckers, top men and chuck tenders,
1915; common laborers, $3.50; me-
chanics, So; timbermen, $3.50. The
local miners union is said to have held
a meeting Thursday night, and after
some discussion decided hat it would
be useless to make any resistance to
the cut in wages, and the edict of the
big company, so by a vote of the mem
bers present the charter was ordered
surrendered.
The bank of Douglass & Jarvis,
which has been kept open for a long
time in anticipation of business in the
district, has decided to discontinue
business, and notified depositors to come
and get their money.
AS the town of Fairview Is some
distance from the mines, a petition IS
being circulated to have the postoflce
moved up the gulch.

NEVADA WONDER GETS
READY TO BUILD MILL

WONDER, June 10.-As the warm
weather advances the preparations for
the building of the Nevada Wonder
mill, pipe line and power plant are pro-
ceeding more rapidly than has
been the case. The traction engines,
having after several trips over the
route, and some alterations, demon
strated TO the satisfaction of the com
pany's officers that they are practical
for transporting the large quantity or
heavy machinery and materials, 1t now
looks like no time will be lost i'll put
ting them into service and keeping
them at it until the work is finished.
This week a crew of men, with the
team of big horses, picks, %shovels,
plows and scrapers, has been hard at
work putting the road from a point be-
low Chalk mountain to Wonder and
Hercules in shape for the snort-wagons
and their trains. For some distance,
in the lower end of the gulch, it has
been deemed advisable to make an en-
tirely new road, on account OF the
crookedness of the old one. WINE
this road building is quite expensive, 1t
will prove economical in the end, as 1t
will shorten the time OF the freight
trains materially. From now on, IN all
probability, the work will be prosecuted
vigorously, in order to have the heavy
hauling all lone before next winters
storms render the roads impossible for
the eaterpillars.

TOOLS LOOSENED in
WELL near BLAIR

There is every reason to believe that
the tools that were lost in the well
being drilled on the Blair marsh IN
search of oil will soon be pulled, after
four. months of continuous Fishing. =
Early this week the tools and the lower
section of 10 feet of small casing were
loosened and pulled up eleven feet,
and then dropped back. The fact that
they have been loosened, however, Is
encouraging, and a little more work is
being done with the long "spear' 10

GIN" MCDONALD GOES TO
MEXICAN MINE FOR j. P.
LOTUS AND JAMES DAVIS

in his auto to see whether the deal
was worth closing or not he was
quietly conducted to a sequeste-ed
nook and given a glimpse of some-
thing that sent the warm, red blood
tingling through his veins. There in
a few sacks was the ransom of a
king. And Jim Mcdonald had dug
it from the ground that only a few
weeks before had been given over to
the sheepherders and their focks.
Then began an era of development
which has finally resulted in one Of
the best equipped and most produc-
tive mines in the state. Every month
now the bullion car of the Round
Mountain Mining company brings IN
bars of bullion amounting to nearly
100000, or half the original price of
the mine.
"Follow your ore" was the order of
Superintendent Mcdonald, and the or
der was obeyed to the letter. The re-
suit is that the interior of ~Sunnyside
hill at Round Mountain is a network
of drifts, crosscuts, raises, wines,
shafts and tunnels. The ore seemed TO
be everywhere, sometimes only a thin
streak and again widening cut to a
strong, well-defned ledge; sometimes
the ore was only a medium milling
grade and at other times it was so rich
that it would stick the stamps. Then
there has always been those beautiful
specimens which have made Round
Mountain famous the world over. And
during the era of this wonderful de-
velopment James Mcdonald was the
guiding spirit.
And as a token of the appreciation
in which he is held by the men in
whose employ he has been so many
a Messrs. Lotus and Davis are
sending him to Mexico to develop a
mine for them there. They have con-
fdence in his ability and they have an
abiding faith in his honesty. They
know that if there is a mine there Jim
Mcdonald is the man who will de-
velop it.

IO RESUME WORK ON
MIzPAH EXTENSION

TONOPAH, June ia telegram re-
eeived in this city yesterday conveys
the gratifying intelligence that at the
meeting of the board of directors OF
the Mizpah Extension company, just
held in Philadelphia, it was decided to
resume operation of the property at
once. Coupled with this announcement
was tho information that there were
Sounrant fumes In the treasury TO carry
on all the projected work.
The further information was con-
veyed that the president of the COM
pany, Charles Z. Knox, would arrive
in Tonopah somewhere about the 10Th
inst, when the contract for sinking the
500 ,foot shaft an additional 200 feet
would be let. 1t will be remembered
that bids for sinking this additional
200 feet were advertised for some weeks
ago.
Recent exploration work in the Nil
pah has shown that the porphyritlc
dyke which was encountered above the
HOO level of the Belmont, in which the
big ore bodies were recently found, runs
through the Mizpah ground as well. The
sinking of the main shaft 200 feet
~
more simply puts the Mizpah in posi-
ton to 60 after the same big ore bodies
that have been developed in the Bel
mont.
And all this accounts for the late
flse and the late activity in the Miz-
pah stock. 1t looks like a good thing
10 those on the inside.

SUIT IS COMMENCED TO
RECOVER FUNDS FOR THE
STATE BANK DEPOSITORS

CARSON, New, June Suit has
been commenced in the district court
by Frank wildes receiver of the State
Bank & Trust company VS.. the directors
of the bank, to recover a amount of
money sufficient to cover the indebted
ness of the bank to depositors and
others. The suit was commenced
Tuesday morning before Judge Langan.
The directors of the bank with the
exception of Thomas Hickey were in
attendance with their attorneys, T. b.
Hickey being represented by attorney
Peck of San Francisco.
After the disposal of several other
matters regarding the receivership of
the bank wherein a claim of the
banks against a man by the name of
Dolan, now a resident of Paris, in
the sum of $4,000 vas compromised and
settled upon the payment of the sun
of $3.50, $3.50 to be paid down and
the sum of 800 a month to be paid
until the debt is settled. The other
was the offer of the Elks of Tonopah
to purchase the Sollender building in
that city for the sum of $4,000, the
court ordering that the matter of sale
be published as a ruling to be made in
twenty days.
Attorney Summerfeld, represent
ing one of the directors, then arose
and asked for the calling of a jury to
hear the case. He stated that the di-
r%ectors, with the exception of Mr..
Hickey, desired the case to Se heard
by a jury and demanded the same.

Attorney Peek then took the matter
in hand and stated that Mr.. Hickey
also desired a jury trial and while the
position of Mr.. Hickey was slightly
dlferent from that of the other diree-
tors, still he wished it to be under
stood that a jury was desired by all.
This opened up quite a lengthy argu-
ment. Attorney Mack for the re-
ceiver e~ontending that the matter was
a case in equity and had been so held
by both tn e federal court and Judge
Langan and that the matter of a jury
was out of the question. Judge Downey
took the matter in hand and argued for
the calling of a jury and claimed that
the rulings made by the federal court
and Judge Langan did not cover the
matter at issue. After considerable
discussion participated in by nearly all
the attorneys, Judge Langan ruled that
he would listen to argument in the mat
ter and would later hand down his de-
%cision.
1t appears that Judge Laugan de-
sires to rush the ease as he believes
that it lasted long enough and it is
more than probable that he will decide
the jury question today and go on with
the case. Should he deeide IN favor of
a jury it will meal an adjournment of
several days until a venire can be sub
poenaed. The case will probably take
six weeks to try and will be bitterly
contested.
