ARROW Mines
ARE LOOKING GOOD

DIR. Elftman, the Tonopah and Gold
field mining man, has returned from a
visit to the Golden Arrow Mining DIS
trict, where he has extensive interests.
He reports a general air of activity pre-
vading that district, such as has NOT
been in evidence for man months past.
Work is progressing on several of
the properties there. The Kawich
Consolidated has had a force of uen
prosecuting on the 200 level and now
they are drifting two ways on the vein.
They have some very good ore.
Captain Cotter of the Cotter Mines
company is expected back in the near
future. He has been in the east in the
interest of his company. Upon his ar
rival, work will be resumed at the mine.
Already there is a shaft down 400 feet
and over $4,000 of ore in sight.
A number of other properties at
Golden Arrow will resume work in a
short time. The roads are in good con-
1ition and the hauling of supplies Is
going forward.

Mill FOR
KIMBERLEY DISTRICT

BATTLE MOUNTAIN, June TN
a few months the echoes reverberating
around the hills of Kimberly will carry
the news from Corall Canyon, three
miles to the east, that a ten-stamp mill
has begun pounding out the gold ore
from the properties there owned by
Wyoming parties.
William Weimers, T. A. James and
other Rock Springs business men, who
have been faithfully supplying the
needful in order to put in shipping
shape a group of claims for nearly
three years, on this, visit concluded
they had a mine and it was time 10
extract the gold from it's surrounding
waste material. Therefore the mill.
The location of their group of thir.
teen claims is not so well situated for
tunnel work as in most parts of the
district, SO they must resort to shaft
work. Several strong veins showing
panning values up to fifty and more
dollars, assays sometimes in the hun
dreds, and again exposing free gold
have been developed from which great
riches are to be added to the store of
these successful business men.
Placer ground has also ben dis
covered on their property, from which
only good-sized boulders thickly
with free gold have been
scooped out, but numerous coarse gold
nuggets are washed out.
All the owners are also heavily in
terested as stockholders in the Kim
berly Consolidated Mines company, so
their interests are confined to this one
district.

MACHINERY PURCHASED
FOR TUNGSTEN Mines

ELY. June 9.-E. l.. Fletcher, super

company at the Hub, near Osceola, has
returned from Denver, where he pur-
chased a large amount of machinery
for the further development of the
property.
The new mill and concentration will

next sixty days, and will be capable
of treating twenty tons OF tungsten
ore daily. The plant will comprise a
battery of Nissen stamps, with the
necessary .jigs and concentrators. Inc

at the mine and there is sufficient
timber nearby for the construction OF
the different buildings.
A boiler plant, electrical plant ana
air drill batteries to facilitate the
work of development have been IN
stalled under the direction of Manager
Fletcher.
There is a ready market for the pro

According to the contract entered
into nv Mr.. Fletcher with a large ma
chinerv house in Denver, the plant
will be delivered at the mines within
sixty days, and if expectations are car

MANHATTAN
PROPERTIES FOR Debt

Just as though Manhattan has not
had enough litigation during its short
life and wanted more, a deputy sheriff
from Tonopah came over this week and
placed attachments on the Indian
Camp, Jumping Jack and Stray Dog
properties, says the Manhattan Mail.
The attachments were issued for George
ID. Pyne, an attorney of Goldfeld, and
are for $500 each, Gin gold coin of the
United States" as the papers read.
The placing Of the attachments caused
much comment and surprise in camp
and appears to be another layer of
trouble for the properties which every
body knows have had their share of
reverses.
The companies under attachment
were fotations of the Sullivan-Rice
brokerage outfit and it is believed that
Pyne at one time had acted as attorney
for that concern in the interest of the
companies and was never paid for his
services, so the attachments were final
ly placed.
The three properties are under lease
to the War Eagle company and just
what effect this new turn in affairs will
have upon the operations of that com
pany remains to be seen.

The Buchanan and Sicily placer
lease on the Blue Jacket at Round
Mountain ground is preparing for ex-
tensive placer operations. A large yard
age Of fine gravel has been made ready
for sluicing, and the operators have
nearly completed construction of a
iume to deliver water to their ground.
Last week some excitement was caused
by several persons trying to rob the
sluice boxes, holding some placer gold.
The guard opened fire on them but
owing to the darkness the would-be
robbers escaped.
Buell. and Patterson, operating OH
the placer ground formerly owned by
Dry Wash Wilson, on the Sunnyside
claim, at Round Mountain, have 100
tons of gravel ready to sluice.
During the past week the Shoshone
Milling company at Round Mountain
treated 219 tons of ore, partly from the
Morrfn-Perrin lease, and partly from
the Gordes lease, both on tn e Mari

tons per day.

$500 tons of ore, an increase OF 200
tons over April, which had been a ban
ner month for the company. Twenty
three bars of bullion, weighing l,72O

Treatment.
The best treatment for the contus-
ion itself is absolute rest of the part
for short time. This may be pro-
cured by bandages, sings, splints or
putting the patient to bed. Firm ban
daging lessons the amount of swelling
and favors It's re-absorption Cold in
the form of icebags or cold water
placed on the part also tend to lessen
the swelling. Considerable caution
must be used in the application Of
cold as the tissues are always a little
devitatized by the confusion and the
added slowing of the circulation by
the cold may cause them to die and
decay. Therefore, If the tissues appear
TO have low vitality, they should be
kept warm by being surrounded by hot
water bottles and covered with warm
ed blankets and other covers
After few days the part should be
massaged, kneaded, and moved about,
slowly at first but with increasing
force Rubbing with some liniment
as witchhazel, arnica or soap liniment
may also help some to improve the
conditions at this time. a
When the Shock Is General.
If the general shock is at all severe
it must be treated by stimulants as
aromatic spirits of ammonia, brandy
or strong coffee. The patient must be
kept warm by covers and some form
of artificial heat as hot-water bottles
or heated bricks. If breathing has
stopped, as Is SO often the case In
blows on the stomach, artificial res
piration should be given at once and
maintained continuously until the pa
tient is able to breath normally Meth
DDS of artificial respiration will be
given when treatment of drowning Is
considered
A physician should be called In all
cases where the shock Is at all mark
ed, as some serious injury may have
been done to some Of the internal or
gans. \ -

FOUND AFTER TWO YEARS
George Becker, Former Executi of
Stoughton, Who Disappeared,
Found by Accident

Stoughton.--The story of the dis
appearance and return of Ex-Mayor
George Becker of Stoughton Is a
strange one.
Mr.. Becker left Stoughton two
years ago, no one knew where. Since
then his whereabouts have been a
mystery, both to his many friends in
the city and to his wife, who finally
gave up hope of again seeing him
alive.
A few weeks ago, William Gould,
an old friend, was in Conway Springs,
Kas. He met there a building con-
tractor, who, changed as he was, he
believed to be the missing mayor,
although the man denied ever having
been in Wisconsin, Mr.. Gould sus-
pected him Of being slightly mentally
unbalanced and wrote to friends in
this city. A nephew was sent to
identify Mr.. Becker, and found it
was he. e1
Memories Of his home in Wiscon-
sin were recalled to Mr. Becker's
mind, and he was induced to return
to Stoughton.
