HUMBOLDT SECOND
IN NEVADA GOLD YIELD

Humboldt county in three months has
jumped into second place in the ranks
or gold producing counties in Nevada,
says the Ely ExpositOr. White Pine
county is third as a gold producer.
However, Hum bOldt has made great
strides since Mr.. COnsidine took office
as state license and bullion tax agent.
For the quarter ending June 80, the
total output of gold amounted TO more
than 100000, and for the present quar-
ter the amount may reach close TO a
million dollars. Esmeralda county of
ducer, with a record of more than 81 :

Mr.. COnsidine says that the bullion
tax IN Humboldt county this year will
amount to more than 5000. This will
be more revenue from this source than
was collected in the history OF the bull
lion tax law in that county.
Humboldt has made great strides as
mineral producer in the past year"
said COnsidine today. National and
other camps, OF course. have made
this possible, but a factor that should
not be overlooked is the attention the
ofIlcers or Humboldt county are giving
to this law at present. No company or
mine owner is overlooked, with the
result that Humboldt is taking its
proper place among the mineral pro-
ducers of Nevada.
white Pine county is looked upon as
one Of the biggest mining centers in
work. your tonnage is greater than all
the rest combined, and 1 am pleased to
note that the big companies of White

more than 150,OO0.000 pounds OF cop

There are some embryonic plans FOR

is as TO whether there would be any

BRICK OF GOLD
IN SUIT CASE

The following article is from the
San Francisco Examiner. 1t is possible
that the mysterious mine referred TO
may be located at National. At all
events quantities or high-grade ore
have disappeared from the mine OF the
National Mining company OF Nevada
on several occasions. The story goes:
After travelling for 400 miles with
$4,000 brick OF gold in his suit case
without fear of robbery, S. S. Spell,
a Nevada miner, lost his nerve Satur-
day morning when he faced the trip
from the Adams hotel in Oakland TO
the mint in San Francisco and sought
the protection of Dick Adams, the
hotel proprietor, and a policeman, who
accompanied him 10 the mint and
helped him cash his treasure.
Spell, who is a typical desert miner,
explained 20 Adams that he had spent
the past eighteen months on his claim
hidden away in the hills north of Win
nemucca, Nevada, and in that time
had extracted the gold he brought
down with him. The mine has been
kept a secret, he says, and no one in
the Nevada country knows that he has
taken out any gold at all.
With the heavy brick wrapped in
a sWathing OF clothing and carried in
battered suit case, Spell travelled from
Winnemucca TO Oakland, arriving Fri
day night when he put up at the
Adams hotel. The next morning he in
quired about making the journey TO
san Francisco. He began to have
visions of robbers, and cOnfiding his
secret TO Adams asked the latter to
get a policeman and go with him TO
the mint.
Returning TO Oakland, Spell pur-
chased an SIS suit of clothes, a carton
of factory made cigarettes, three pairs
fortune he has won and then started
out TO see the town.

.M|N|STER-M|NER
VISITS NEVADA CAMP
Happy as a Kid on This,
His Maiden
Trip.

That IL is not beneath the dignity
OF minister 10 engage in the mining
business is shown by an account in the
last issue of the Battle Mountain
mining camp of the Rev. II. r. Wilkin,
United Presbyterian minister from
Mississippi, who spent part of last
week in Lander county.
The report goes on to say: among
the arrivals on last Tuesdays train
were Charles NJ. Young of Monmouth,
H.; DR.. r. +. Wilkin, a United Pres
byterian minister of Mississippi, and ..
7. Norton of Miami. Fla. These gen.
tlemen are large stockholders in the
Austin Manhattan company and came
10 Austin 10 investigate the conditions
existing at the mines and mill. They
spent two days on the various proper
ties and visited Midas Flat, Yankee
Blade, the Jack Pot, tunnel, mill and
every place on Lander hill. That they
were more than pleased with the prog
ress and results achieved is putting il
mildly.
Mr.. Young has visited all the prom
inent mining camps from Ontario to
Mexico, but never saw ore of better
commercial value than found in the
mines here, and the ledge in the Jack
Pot Is & wonder.
Mr.. Norton picked up a small piece
OF quartz from the middle of the streets
or Austin and had the same assayed
and obtained results of $3.50 per ton
in silver.
Minister Enjoys Himself.
DR.. Wilkin is also making his first
visit 10 a mining camp and feels as
happy as a kid with his first pair of
boots. He says that he was way down
10 the bottom of the Jack Pot shaft

sfeaI interest in everything pertaining

ditlOns as he found them at each of
the workings and properties visited.
He further states that while he came
10 Austin in a frame of mind far from
easy concerning his investment here, he
is now thoroughly satisfied in every
way, and that IL is impossible for the
stockholders in the east to grasp the
situation without personally visiting
the properties. That done, the pOssi-
bilities of complaint vanish. Mr. VIII

Days, Says Nevada
Paper.

Death Valley ScOtty'' will probably
niIe the Iirst special train over the
western Pacific railroad on his way to
SAT- Lake. Denver and the east, saws
the White Pine News correspondent,
ne mysterious miner appeared before
the pubic again several DAYS ago, his
po e Is, Dulglng with nuggets and pure
ore. The correspondent interviewed
Seotty and obtained other information
concerning the wizard. His article is
published below:
Chris Matovieh, the pioneer mining
man from Black canyon, spent a part of
the week in LOVelOck, cOnferring with
ms associates relative TO a big sale TO
De consummated, and which includes
the pest property in the famous district
says the LOVelock Tribune The prop
efty Is TO be bonded at once and nego-
sale.
Death Valley seotty," the man of
mystery, who has spent the past wear or
more in the Black Canyon district, has
secured an option, and from reliable
sources ii is learned that he will go east
AZ once and place the property with
some OF his wealthy friends Mr. Mato-
vich, when interviewed REGARDING the
proposed sale, said:
20 Sacks Worth S25, 900.
II recently developed that Death
Saley Scotty was aware of the fact
lIat fabulous values existed on our
ground, and he took a lease simply FOR
the purpose of prospecting He worked
quietly and alone, and no one know of
MS operations. After he had secured
the option on the ground he diVulged
the 1act that he had encountered one of
the richest stringers ever found in the
state, and that he had taken out 20
sacks of ore.
The ore, some OF the samples OF
winch Scotty was showing around town,
was almost pure gold, and it is esti-
mated Ihat the stuff will easily go
SI'OVV sack. This ore was taken from
the Fosl No. claim, and the vein from
which II was taken is entirely new,
never having been worked before
Scotty is going 10 New York and
other eastern cities, and he says that
ne VIII travel in special train, which
Will be paid for with high grade ore
from the property.
His Train Due Today.
If arrangements can be Uerfected
Seotty viii leave Saturday or Sunday,
and he VIII travel in style. He will go
tirst 70 Denver and from there to New
orleans, MS final destination being New
Ork lie VIII then take two or three
SACKS or the nuggets with him, and will
open the eyes OF the people he meets
along the route. The specimens which
ScOtty Will carry with him will unQues-
tlonably be by far the richest and pref
tlest ever taken from the state of Ne
Vada."
In speaking of other operations in the
district, Mr.. MatOVich said that alto
gether the camp looked better now than
II ever has. There are some ten or
Twelve companies at work. and in every
instance either high-grade or splendid
lnllIing values are being opened up. He
predicts a big boom there during the
next two months, and he adds that
when II comes it will be the biggest in
the history OF the state.
