The Oratorical Contest was a
great success. Dir. Rowan had ar
ranged a pleasing program OF

in the audience and thirty-one
people from town. Several of
these were directly associated with
the College. There is a moral to
all this. What is it? Those who

Town Development

Newark. What a splendid little
town. Rich in natural environ
ments where everybody is doing
well, and everybody, generally
speaking, is too busy with his own,
affairs to sit down and find .hinl-
self, and analyze his relation to
the community and the communi-
lies interest to himself-tlle we'll
to-do men Of Newark do rot Know
each other well enough i'll a
friendly business way; they never
meet together and talk over town
affairs and town industrial deve-
lopment. They Just wonder about
it but do not think about it !;
thought and action is what is most
needed for Newark.
a good LIVE BOARD OF
TRADE would then become the
POWER HOUSE for TOWN
DEVELOPMENT.
1t may be observed by the aver
age coinentator we have tried
that. Did We: Yes! organized,
| put up two sign boards. hired an
expert on town development and
quit; the very best that can be
said--we made a good start.
Have we the interest of our
town at heart:
The greatest factor is civic pride
however we may be divided on
other questions, we as a people
should be united upon everything
that affects the prosperity OF our
town, and not " "Jeremiahs"
The army of. knockers :, is over

do; il we start out thinking we

LOS ANGELES MAN MAKES
FINAL PAYMENT ON PLACER

MANHATTAN, March 90.-Colonel
J. w f. Diss, representing Edward
Double of Los Angeles, this week made
the final payment on what is known
is the Allison ground in the main
gulch. Under the management of Pat
rick Holm, who is a placer miner of
some twenty years experience In call
fornia, work has begun on the property
and a force of men is now engaged in
cleaning out the shaft and drifts, pre-
paratory to development.
The Allison ground is one of the best
located properties in the gulch, but
owing to poor management in the past
has not paid.
Mr.. Holm, who knows placer mining
from A to u, believes he can place the
property on a paying basis.
Mr. Double has also secured two
years lease on the Top Knob No. 2
placer ground, belonging to John Swan
son and "Malapai John" Mihelitch, and
will start operations there at once
The property adjoins the September
fraction on the south and comprises
GOO feet in the gulch. 1t is understood
the owners of the. ground will receive
20 per cent royalty on all the gold
taken out
Colonel Diss and Mr.. Double are both
interested in the -Four Leaf company.
which is operating in the gulch about
a mile below Central. The work there
is upnder Riley Eakman, who soon eX-

CALLBREATH PLEADS FOR
BUREAU OF MINES BILL
PASSAGE bV Senate Would Insure
a Lower Death Rate
UNDERGROUND

Mining is one of the two great pro-
duetive industries in the United States
with an annual production of over
$2,000,000,0O0 and a waste almost as
great" writes j. b. Callbreath, jr.,
secretary American Mining congress,
from Washington. "It employs more
than 100000 men. 1t is sacrificing now
an average of more than 1000 lives a
year.
IF the same effort were made to
protect the workman here that is made
in Belgium. France and Germany, Il Is
fair to presume that the death rate
would be lowered to an average of
these countries
This would mean an annual saving
of 1900 lives in the United States.
ITO bring about these conditions is
one of the vital purposes of the bureau
of mines bill. To prevent part of this
waste Is of great Importance. Senator
Dick is leading the fight for its adop-
tion."
The senate committees report recon-
mending passage of the bill has just
been prepared. The second article
(amended) in the bill reads:
THAT it shall be the province and
duty of said bureau and its director,
under the direction OF the secretary of
said department, to make diligent In
vestigation of the methods of mining,
especially In relation to the safety of
miners, and the appliances best adapt
ed to prevent accidents, the possible
Improvement of conditions under which
mining operations are carried on. the
treatment of ores and other mineral
substances, the use OF explosives and
electricity, the prevention of accidents,
and other inquiries, aid chronological
Investigations pertinent to said indus
tries, and from time to time make such
public reports of the work. investiga-
tlons and information obtained as the
secretary of said department may di-
rect, with the recommendations Of such
bureau"

SURVEY REPORTS ON
BULLFROG DISTRICT

report on the geology and the ore
deposits of the Bullfrog mining district
in Nye county, southern Nevada, by
T.. l.. Ransome, w. II. Emmons and G.
II. CAREY has just been published by
the United States geological survey as
Bulletin 407.
The district surveyed and mapped is
a tract of arid hills and mountains
lying northwest of the Amargosa desert
and including about twenty-one square
miles.
Long before valuable ores were dis
covered at Tonopah and Goldfield the
spings in Oasis valley, just north of the
site OF Beatty, attracted a few wan
derers, who established rude ranches
along Amargosa river, q feeble rill
that furnishes the only drinkable water
within radius of forty miles.
The discoveries at Tonopah and Cold
field stimulated prospecting through
out southern Nevada, and in 1904 the
Bulfrog claim was located. The name
is said to have been suggested by the
green color of the ore; certainly no one
has found in that scorchingly arid Ie-
gion anything resembling a bulfrog.
In a few months the towns of Amar
gosa City. Bonanza, Bullfrog, Beatty
and Rhyolite rose from the desert sands
and mining was actively begun, but
until 1907 only the richest ore was
shipped from the region, for lack Of
satisfactory means of transportation.
Gold and Silver Output
In 1907 three lines of railroad reached
the district, and during that year the
value of it's mineral output was s207,
53S, principally in gold and silver
The deposits of the Bullfrog district,
unlike those at Goldfield, are not likely
to yield quick and large profits with u
moderate outlay of capital though
small masses of superficial ore may for
some time reward a few fortunate
lessees. The ores generally are of low
grade and the question whether the
deeper sulphide ores can be proitably
mined is still unanswered.
The report just published sketches
the general geology of the region and
describes the ore deposits in detail.
Chapters on the mineralogy of the ores,
the action of vein-forming solutions,
and the genesis of the ores will be of
interest to mining men.
The report, which covers 100 pages,
includes descriptions of the mines in
the district and Is illustrated by a
geologic map and many views and dia-
grams. 1t can be obtained without
charge from the director of the survey
at Washington.

NEW TEXAS FIELD

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March 90
Although the first reports of the Trick
ham oil fields, near Brownwood, Texas,
were somewhat exaggerated there is
no doubt now that the find is of great
value The gas pressure is sufficient
to send a 5-barrel-a-day stream of
oil to the surface, which now issues
between two castings that had been
set in the well. These partly obstruct
the flow. and it is expected that when
one of them is taken out the quantity
delivered viii be much greater The
oil found is of excellent quality, and
tests have shown that it will make a
lubricator of great value.
