being satisfied with his present invest

Decker was especially pleased with the
fine plants being installed at the Orhip

machinery. He believes the ore from
the Isabella, the Magnolia and the

RENO, August 49, Governor d. S.
Diekerson stepped into the Office of the
Carson News last night and after an
alteration arising from the publica-
ton of a defamatory story in the form
of a special dispatch to Reno, slapped
the face of Editor George A. Montrose.
Further hostilities were prevented by
spectators of the incident. Governor
'Dickerson later explained the act by
stating that while he was content to
rest under abuse for his official and ad.
ministrative acts, he would hold all
men personally responsible to him for
any attack on his honesty and integrity
as a man.
The incident, which occurred shortly
after & O'Clock and which consumed
very few moments, was soon noised
about town with accompanying exag-
geration and created q milo sensation
in its distorted form.

BOB MONTGOMERY TAKING
HOLD in CAMP NATIONAL

and Macdonald, under the direction of
the latter, resumed work in what is
known as the Stevens tunnel on the
western portion of the Indian Valley
claim, which is situated just east of
the Hyde lease ON the Nevada National
Mining company estate. With a south
ward trend, this tunnel was originally
driven into the hill a distance of ITO
feet, giving a vertical depth of about
50 feet. 1t is the intention of the
owners to continue to drive the tun-
mel with a view of opening up the
Charleston Hill high grade ledge, which
the owners believe traverses their
ground.
In addition to being one of it's own
ers, DR.. Macdonald is associated with
Gordon Campbell, formerly a Gold
field operator, in a lease on the In
dian Valley claim. The crescent to
the west from the end of the 260-foot
tunnel on this lease has advanced a
distance of 80 feet, and its face is
showing up interesting territory. 1t
is calculated that only a few feet more
of erosscut work will be required to
encounter the first ledge paralleling
on the west that on which the tunnel
has been run.

STATUE OF WASHINGTON
is PRESENTED TO FRANCE

VERSAILLES, France, August 49,
1.-THE grandest name in all the history
Of America is hat of George Wash
and the history of all the ma
tions gives us none that is %grauder,'
said James Mann, chairman of the
Virginia commission, in the course of
his address at Versailles today in pre-
senting to the people of France on be-
half of Virginia a bronze copy OF
Houdon's statue of Washington. The
original of the statue stands in the
state capitol at Richmond.
Mr.. Mann recounted the splendid
deeds of "the father of his country
both in war and in peace and paid nit
ting tribute to the illustrious French
men who aided America in its struggle
for liberty. "We remember always"
he said, "that but for the aid OF
France success could not have crowned
the efforts of Washington in our revolu-
tionary war. 1t is because V~irginians
remember these things and remember
ing them, love the people of France,
that we have come in their name as the
bearers of this token of their alice
%tion.'
The statue was placed in the Hall OF
Napoleon in the Chateau Versailles
where the ceremonies were observed,
most distinguished gathering present.
The statue was accepted in behalf of
the French government by Ambassador
Jusserand.
"The graciousness with which the
Gift of this statue has been received,
said Mr.. Mann, "has added to the
pleasure Virginia has felt in sending
her best loved son to stand on the SOL
of France, amid the only allies 'offen
sive and defensive America has ever
! had. 1t was a beautiful thought thai

SEVEN TROUGHS FLORENCE
co. MAKES ANNUAL REPORT

of further prospecting the ground at
depth, an arrangement has been made
with the Seven Troughs Mining CON-
pany for the use of their Fairview
shaft and equipment, from July 1 TO
Dee. 30. 1910, to enable "The Opera
tor to run a drift on the vein at the
6OO-foot level, under the Florence
workings. The distance to be covered
is about 400 feet and the work will be
pushed ahead so that there will be
ample time to prospect the ground and
get out any ore that may be en-
countered in running the drift. This
method will save, for the present, the
expense of sinking the shaft and cross
cutting to the vein, which is dipping
away from the shaft.
The production of ore was delayed
on account of charges that had to be
made in the mill of the Darby (Ne-
vada) Ore Reduction company where
the ore is milled. Milling was started
in April and up to June 80, 1854 tons
have been milled, and 1913 tons
shipped to the Selby smelter at San
Francisco, which together, after pay
ment of all charges, has netted the
company s1s,515.13. This amount is
credited on the account of 1.-the OPP
orator. = who under the working agree
ment. has to advance all the money
needed for development, etc, which
amount advanced during the term just
ended, June 30, is $29,s93.90. In addi-
ton there is about 100 tons of mill ore
on the dump and at the mill, and about
100 sacks of smelling ore that should
average better than $500 per ton.
The equipment remains the same as
at last report, viz: A 15-horsepower
gasoline hoist, engine house, black
smith shop, ears, buckets, tools, etc.
The lease extends to July l, 1912.

A report of the Seven Troughs Flor
ence Mining & Leasing company has
been received. This company was or
gsnized some time ago to operate a
lease on the Seven Troughs mining
ground at Seven Troughs, and at first
it was better known as the Harris
lease. This lease expires July /, 1917,
so abundant time will be provided for
the present owners of control to extract
the mineral within the lines of the
block consigned to their care.
The company from June 16, 1909, to
June 30, 1910, milled 76s tons of ore,
value s2s, S46.45, and close to 20 tons
were shipped to the shelters, netting
s ,645.2 The expenses were $l6,-
1886, giving net s1s,515.13. On June
30. 1910, the cash balance was $912.04.
In speaking of the condition at the
lease the report states:
On the 250-foot level, where most of
the ore is coming from, stopping is pro-
eeeding vigorously, at a point north of
the old stope, to the 200 level above,
on "a new bunch of ore, there being a
barren place between it and the ore
already stopped.

a drift south &c feet, a streak of high
grade silver ore was disclosed, while
in a drift to the north 62 feet, high
grade gold ore about six feet in length
and four inches wide was uncovered.
Further development is necessary to
prove up the extent of this ore. Two
raises were also made from this level
to the 200 level, and another to join up
with the Wine from the 200.
The indications at the bottom of the

A Victory for the People

N.IFORNIA violated all traditions Tuesday by dsregardmg the
orders of the railroad machine and naming candidates 1r
state offices who are, in the main, men free from any Animation
with the machine and who will not take dictation from it. The Re
publican party has long been in power in California, and consequent
" it has been the ostensible party of the Herrin machine. YET as in
Nevada the machine had it's representatives in both parties, this to
the end that no matter how the final election went, it should be sue
of having it's men in office.
The insurgent Republicans, scored a sweeping victory Tuesday,
Hiram johnson, the insurgent and antlrailroad candidate Tor the
Republican nomination for the governorship being nominated by an
overwhelming vote. Opposed to him on the Democratic ticket will
he Theodore Bell, another anirailroad man.
The election of Tuesday was the first that has been held under
California S primary law, and that the very first primary election
took the state from under the thumb of the Herrin domination is IN
deed significant. 1t proves what the insurgent Republicans and the
Democracy of California claimed for it-that by abohshing the con
vention method of nominations the people would take affairs in their
own hands and nominate the men they wanted, not the men the ma
chine wanted.
California s success presages the success of the primary election
soon to be held in Nevada-Nevadas primary law having been
brought into being by the late Senator George Pyne for the purpoed
ending machine domination in this state. The success of the insur
gent Republican forces in California will add strength to the insur
gent Republican following in Nevada, and between the insurgent Re-
publican and the Democratic candidates for nomination, it i is now as
that but few OF the candidates before the people in the fall car
pagn will have been named by the Nixon machine. The Nixon organ
ization is fighting tooth and nail for the election of its own slate OF
nominees. IS well as looking out for the interests of the
regular Republican candidates. Certain of the insurgent Repupf
can candidates are causing the Nixon workers n 0 end of worry, how

east of the Rockies were encouraging to the Nevada Insurgents
