The misfortunes of Governor Sparks
seemed to date from the failure of the
mining investment. Always a man Of
generous and lavish temperament he
lost vast sums through his habit of
trusting too implicitly to those he be
lieved to be his friends. Originally
possessed of a magnificent fortune and

the elimination of his reverses, ami

MAYFLOWER'S TROUBLES
SETTLED; WORK RESUMES

After ten months of skirmishing and
trying to avoid the inevitable, A. c.
Essen finally settled his claim, backed
by a Judgment of the district court, for
an alleged indebtedness of nearly $52,-
900 of the Mayfower Bullfrog Consoli-
dated Mining company, for the sum of
a little over $1,000, $4,000. of which
was cash. This settlement was fought
for and finally effected by Charles L.
Dunbar and his attorneys, Humphrey &
Lent Of San Francisco, says the Rhyo-
lite Herald.
While of course the delay and ce--
tain expenses at the mine had to be
met during this m~aneuvering, the result
is that a saving of considerably over
10000 has been effected for the May
flower company, and Mr.. Eiser has
been entirely eliminated from all con-
nection with the company. The out
come is well worth the delay of six or
eight months.
On the 18th inst. the annual meet.
ing of the Mayfiower Mining company
and also the Mayfower Leasing com
pany was held in Rhyolite.

National Mines company this week
sent down another shipment of bullion
from the property amounting to $780,
600, according to M. J Mooney, assay
er for the company.
"On the second of this month";
said Mr.. Mooney, "the mine sent out
another lot, amounting to $85, 900. The
total bullion shipments from the mine
for this month should reach $30n,U00.
Last month it was $250,000.
"The high grade is now coming out
of the 525 level. To show the charac-
ter of the ore, I might state that re-
Gently 2,400 pounds of ore was taken
out which, when made into bullion,
showed a valuation Of 100000. The
company is making 80 per cent profit
on all ores taken out and handled.
There is a great deal of ~second-class
ore on the dump. This second class
runs from $50 to $1,000 a ton.

The ore shoot recently encountered
on the 300 foot level of the Phoenix
lease, on the Coalition Queen estate, is
developing into a fine body of ore,
which proves conclusively that this
property will be a steady producer for
a long time to come. The vein is over
three feet wide on this level and assays
from $40 to $40 per ton. The vein has
been drifted on for nearly 40 feet and
is growing wider and richer as the
drift progresses further to the north
east.
A raise has been started on the vein
that will be pushed up to connect with
the winze that was sSak on the ore
from the $50 foot level. A chute .s
being put in at the point where the
! raise was started and the ore Will be
drawn from this directly into the buck
cts for hosting. Everything coming
from both the raise and drift is going
to the ore bin and requires but htta
sorting. This gives an entirely new
block of ore in this lease from the 10
foot to the 300 foot levels that will av-
erage fully three feet in width ana
opened up on the $50 foot level for l25
feet in length.
A c~rosscut started from the So foot
level of the upper shaft has already
encountered the new vein on which a
shaft was started a short time ago and
from which such high values were tax
en-. An assay across two feet OF this
new vein on the 55-foot level gave re-
turns of over 800 a ton. The ore from
tb;s vein can be dumped directly into
one of the old ore chutes and hoisted
from the $50 foot level of the lower
shaft with very little tramming.
The block of ground owned by the
Phoenix company has, up to Nov. l,
-nroduced 5~4,5O7.17, all above the loo
foot level, and there is still lots of good
milling ore above this level.

The Daily Mining Record has the
following about Wingield's Buckhorn
mine:
Since the United States Smelling,
Refining and Mining company turned
down the option on the Buckhorn mine
in this county, George Wingfeld has
been making some extensive improve
ments, preparatory to placing the prop
erty on a cash paying basis. When the
United States engineers. inspected the
Buckhorn property they reported they
had found better than 100000 worth
of ore in sight, but Mr.. Wingfeld had
set a price of SO, ,000 on the proper
ty, which the United States people
were unwilling to pay. Wingield at
once proceeded to put the mine in bet
ter shape by employing a force OF 81
miners more fully to develop the ore
belt.
He has just recently completed nego-
tiations for the purchase of three
ranches, located on the south fork Of
the Humboldt river, together with all
water rights. He is now planning to
construct a dam 100 feet high, which
will cost at least 100000. A nam.
moth reduction plant is to be built,

the draw-head of the latter, weighing a
hundred pounds, was thrown a distance
of twenty yards. Had the runaway
car appeared a minute sooner, IT
would have had a clear way in passing
the depot and would have met the ID
coming passenger train while rounding
the curve, and nothing would have
prevented a far more disastrous coils
ion than happened. Those in the en-
CINE at least would have doubtless been
killed.
The concentrates in the freight can
were about to be delivered to the
COLONIZATION mill. While a portion OF
the forty tons can be scraped up, there
will be considerable of a loss. The
concentrates were valued at about $50
a ton, or a total of $4,000.

which will be supplied with water from
the rights just acquired. 1t will also
be arranged to convert this water pow
err into a large electric plant, which
will transmit power for the mine, where
at least 500 horse power will be need
ed. The plant, when complete, viii
have $500 horse power, which will
light the town and provide power for
every part of the mine and mill.
The Buckhorn mine is a low-grade
gold proposition and the concentrates
are to be hauled a distance of about so
miles to the railroad. When the Unit
ed States people figured on getting the
mine It planned to build a spur to the
property from the main line OF the
Southern Pacific. Wingield decided
to treat the ore ON the ground and this
necessitated the construction of a mil
plant. Other properties are being dc.
yeloped in that locality and a railroad
may be built by the Southern Pacific
company should future development
work warrant it.

directors. Thomas X. Cole was select
ed as mine manager. The offices Of
the company were changed to San
Francisco. All these officials are the
same in both the mining and leasing
companies.
Mr.. Cole is now in charge of the
mine and mill, with all claims, judg-
ments and leases Cancelled, except the
one of the Mayfower, which is in pos
session of the property.
Mr.. McGatie left last night for San
Francisco, and as soon as he can man
age it there will be a report issued and
mailed to all stockholders of both com
panies.
Vice President Peckham is with Mr..
Code at the mine, and will remain
there a short time to determine future
operations, which are planned to begin
Dec. /. The intention is to put more
ore available before starting the mill.
The main shaft requires some retim-
boring and the drifts need cleaning up,
in order to operate economically. There
is considerable profitable ore now avail
able. The mill is in good condition
and should treat 70 to so tons daily.
With all difficulties cleared away
and ample working capital guaranteed,
the Mayfower mine should soon be
producing with profit. Mr.. Dunbar has
advanced about $4,000 thus far, and
promises another $4,000 should it be
needed.

NEW COURTHOUSE
ABOUT COMPLETED

RENO, Nov. 22.-Court will be held
in the new courthouse at the corner Of
South Virginia int Court streets by
the first of the year, according to the
calculations of the contractors.
Considerable work remains to be
done on the interior of the building,
while the exterior is practically com
pleted. The inside work is slow, how
ever, and cannot be rushed faster than
a certain speed.
1t is expected that when the district
judges begin on their new terms the
building will be ready for their occu-
paney. Efforts will also be made 70
have the entire building completed SO
that the various departments may be
housed under the same roof and expe-
dite matters and simplify work.
The grounds about the building have
been cleared up, and only some mater
ial to be installed inside the building
now cutters up the space. The sidc-
walk is also open for pedestrians, aft
er a long siege when those afoot had
to walk out in the street.

ierng elements. Stacking the ore by
q short period of weathering, then
roasting or sluieing it, is a method pop
uiar with those not capable of more
pretentIous ways of reduction.
COmmendable perseverance with
some of the less fortunate who are
not able to make their claims yield n
grub stake" as they go on, is the
fact that almost without exception
properties on the sore zone' are pro-
teeted with the required amount of
work each year, ali possessing that OF
timism which loretells a matter of only
a short time until the camp will come
into its own and when its merit and
true worth will be recognized in the
mining world.
The Rex Group.
One modern mining camp has been
built in camp on the Rex property.
Some minor mechanical difficulties
have been mastered, shift men have
been trained to expert operators of the
presses, and the plant now being easily
capable of the designed tonnage, a per-
iod of prosperity for the property is
commencing.
Developments on the Elko Prince
group, along the andesite-ryholite con
tact, have warranted it's opening with
depth, and to this end a tunnel about
$50 feet long, which will cut the VEN
400 feet deep, is now being driven.
Three shifts of miners are employed in
driving it.
Other Properties.
The owners of the Esmeraldas, the
Midas, the Water Witches, the Sleep
ing Beauties, the Judge and numerous
others have developed the past year,
commensurate with and curtailed only
by limited resources.
Efforts to interest sufficient capital
for the installation of a combination
amalgamation and cyaniding plant are
being made, and such a venture W II
alike be remunerative to the investor
and to the prospeetor, who is "pray-
ing' for a way to urn his mill ore into
money.
