Mines ARE
INCREASING OUTPUT

The official report of the Skidoo
Mines company for the month of May
shows another splendid months work
for the little mill on the Panamint
side of the grim Death Valley.
During the month 1920 ton Of ore
were milled, four and one-half days
time having been lost through var
ious causes. The value of the bullion
produced was $l4,290.73, concentrates
$3.50; total production, $14,640.73.
Operation expenses for the month
amounted to ~$6.o26.s6, development
s445.12; total expenses $7,S71.9S, max.
ing a net profit Of $7,26s.75.
In comparison with the output for
April, the May output was greater by
392 tons, hrt the average value CT the
ore for May was much less, $11.06 per
ton in comparison with $3.50 for
April.
The total output for April was 3d.
024.62, with net profits of S6,s7S.7s. or
$3S9.97 less than May.
The Skidoo mill has been doing
good time during June but the official
report will not be ready for some
time. It takes considerable time to
ship the bullion out of Skidoo to the
mint, get returns into the Los Angeles
office and then prepare the monthly re
port for stockholders.

ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE
PERILs OF THE DESERT FOUND

Another desert victim IS reported,
and Archie Campbell, manager Of the
Last Chance mining property near
Death Valley, came to Goldfeld yestcr-
day to endeavor to establish the ident-
ity of the unfortunate.
Mr.. Campbell encountered the un-
known man on the desert in a ~frIghtful
condition. He was in the last stages
of desert exhaustion, devoid of clothing,
sunburned, blistered and crazed, with
his tongue swollen enormously, a pitia-
BILE object, and unable to speak.
He wal tenderly conveyed TO camp
and everything possible done for him,
But kind aid came too late, for an our
after he absorbed the first sup OF water
he expired.
In his coat, which was found, there
was a card bearing the name of a Mrs
Farnsworth of Reno, presumably a
sister of the dead man. TelegIams &c

WATER FOUND ON DESERT.

The discovery of water has just
been made in the northern end Of
Smith valley, about fifteen miles from
Y~erington. The soil has always been
barren and non-productive, and the
nearest known water was eight miles
away. A few days ago a prospeetor
for oil sunk a shaft in the soil, and
after he had forced it down "a feet
struck an artesian flow. News of
the striking of water spread like
wildfre throughout the valley. The
water flows strongly and there are in
dications that it is plentiful. An oil
who was also on the scene stated
that there were evidences of petroleum
also.

ELY CLAIMS LARGEST
PAYROLL OF STATE

ELY, New, July 11.-Payrolls of the
Nevada Consolidated Giroux CONSOLE
dated, Nevada Northern Railway and
smaller mining companies viii bring
the total for the Ely district up to
about $3.50, 900 for the month of May.
This is by far the largest payroll of
any mining camp in the state Of Ne
vada.
Ely, with a monthly output of over
100000 tons of ore, now leads the state
in point of tonnage, although Goldheld,
whose production of gold is more than
81, OO0, 900 a month, still leads IN the
value of output.
The Tonopah district in Nye county
has a greater tonnage than Goldfeld,
although the value per ton is less, the
ores of Tonopah being richer in silver
than in gold.
Official returns show that the pro-
duction of minerals in Nevada gained
in value about $1O,O 900 in 1863 over
the production of 1908. From present
indications the gain of 1910 over 1908
will be almost or quite as great.

AEROPLANE TO CONVEY
mining MACHINERY

Many a hard-fsted miner. as he
labored or the making of a rocky trail
to his mountain-encompassed claim, has
yearned for a flying machine, that
reeded no outlined path. This dream is
about to come true and with it the
establishment of the first aerial freight
traffic line in existence.
This scheme has been evolved by a
miner of Douglas, Arizona, named A.
M. Williams, who for months has had
completed an %aeroplanc of novel design
and who has just received the engine
for it. That the apparatus will fly he
las no doubt, though he hash t made
his trial trip thus far. So confident is
he of success that he and his hacker
have agreed to transport by mono
plane a GUNNER dry washing placer
machine from Douglas to minlrg prop
ertv owned by DIR. j. j. Armstrong IN
the mountains of Western Chihuahun.
The placer ground is extremely rich,
but it lies near the top Of the most
rugged of mountains, where transpor-
tation sven on muleback is extremely
difficult, the journey consuming three
DAYS from the nearest railroad station.
Williams figures that he can take tho
placer machine in 100-pound sections
and that he can reach his destination
within six hours of steady fight.

SMITHS HOMESTAKE
SOLD BY SHERIFF

To satisfy a Judgment of $1,6s3.3S
the property of the Rocco Homestake
Mining company, in Swansea canyon,
neal Hamilton, was sold at sheriff s
salt yesterday afternoon and bought by
Gust Simon, who held the judgment.
For a number of years this COM
pany paid the only bullion tax in
White Pine county and was the
source of considerable revenue to the
county.
1t was originally owned by Rocco
Kragnaz, one of the old timers OF
this section, who worked it for a
number of years and then sold it to
Eureka parties, among them O. J.
and b. L. Smith, who are under in.
dictment for violating the state bank
ing lave.
The property was worked for a
couple of years by the new owncrs
and netted many thousands of dol
lars in profits, after which it was in
,orporated and the dividends paid N
The next few years were considerably
over $4,000.
Owing to lack of money on the
part of the Smiths, who became heav-
iIy interested in southern Nevada
mining ventures, the mine was Quilted
aud no development work prosecuted.
and as the machinery was not heavy
enough for the deep workings, it became
necessary to close it down and Gust
Simon was placed in charge as watch
man and it was for this service he re-
ceived Judgment.
According to reports OF eminen1
engineers, who have inspected The
property recently, the Rocco Home
stake is a very valuable estate and
with the expenditure of the necessary
money for the installing of machinery
and development work, it can again oe
placed in the dividend paying column.
il is reasonable to expect the property
will be taken over by the receiver OF
the Eureka County bank, az that lie
funct institution for over So 1000 and in
order to protect the interests of the
hank. 1t will be necessary to pay of
the amount of the judgment and in

LOS ANGELES SHAKEN
Series of Earthquakes Did Little
Damage. but Caused Alarm.

Los Angeles. May 15.-This city and
surrounding territory We're visited to-day
by a series of earth shocks that alarmed
many people, but did little damage be-
yond breaking dishes, destroying house
ornaments and cracking walls of the
lighter houses.
The shocks began about $50 o'clock
this morning and were felt as late as
1853 o'clock at the beach resorts and IN
Pasadena, Riverside, ReGlands and San
Rernardino where trembles occurred
last Thursday night,
Pasadena suffered the heaviest dam
age, SO far as reported. Several build
ings were cracked and on Mount Will
son. where the Carnegie Observatory is
situated the tremors alarmed many
tourists who had climbed the peak to
view the comet. The quake came as a
double shock, with a swaying motion
which gave the climbers a sensation of
seasickneSs..
Long Beach was washed by small
tidal wave just after the first shock
there. shortly before I o'clock. Another
tremor followed, and then the ocean,
which had been unusually boisterous all
morning, fell suddenly fiat and became
absolutely calm for more than an hour.
In this city and in Riverside no seri-
Gus damage was reported. A second
shock shook Riverside at noon. Both
tremors were heavier than the quake
that shook the orange belt on Christ

AMERICAS GREED OF GOLD
G.. w. Eliot's Views on DiscOn-
tent in This Country.
IRv Telegraph 10 me Trlbune.

Cambridge, Mass, May Is. DR..
Charles ". Eliot. Harvard's president
emeritus, asserts that the lust for gold
and the thirst for power, considered by
Americans as the main objects of ex-
istence have caused the present reign
of discomfort which is sweeping over
the country.
The object of life with the individual
as with the nation results from the sue
cession of pleasureable emotions and
feelings" he adds. Progress is meas
ured by happiness. not by dollars and
cents. The average workingman fails TO
realize this. Neither social prestige nor
riches can promote happiness or retard
it. The happiness of a community can
be furthered not by increasing its total
wealth or distributing it more evenly.
but by improving its physical and moral
welfare.
"Sensuous pleasures, like eating and
drinking, are sometimes described as
animal. and therefore unworthy. but men
are animals and have a right to enjoy
without reproach those pleasures of ami
NAL existence which maintain health,
strength and life itself. These pleasures.
taken naturally and in moderation, are
all pure. honorable and wholesome

Bemidii. Mimi, May ia forest fire
four miles wide has been threatening
Bemidji since noon. 1t originated six
miles south of the city, drove back the
fighting forest rangers and has now been
temporarily checked mile and hall
south of the city, where more than
thousand citizens and soldiers, under the
command of the forest rangers and the
Chief Fire Warden, Clarence Shannon,
are making last desperate stand, hoping
for rain.
The principal danger is from the lum-
Der yards on the outskirts of the city IN
