what steps will be taken toward the de
velopment of the Queen property until
after he receives assay returns from
the samples taken while here. 1t Is
believed among those conversant with
things here, and who are familiar with
the Queen ground, that the shaft on the
big ledge, which is 100 feet in depth,
will be sunk at least 100 feet deeper
and a crosscut run to expose the fine
looking body of quartz exposed at the
l00-foot level.
The party carefully examined the
various other properties in the district
in which they are interested, including

BIG COPPER PROPERTY is
OPENED NEAR CARSON CITY

A few miles south of this city there
has been quietly worked wha. looks
like one fthe biggest copper deposits
in the entire vest, says the Carson Ap-
peal The ground is s.tlated N the
main range back of JACK Valley aad is
known as the Greedy French ground.
Several years ago couple If Basque
sheep herders uncovered ledge there
showing heavy copper sulphides ami
considerable gold and silver values.
They stsked the ground, and figuring
that it belonged to Greedy French lock
him into the combination, thus saving
litigation and difficulties that generally
arise from such discoveries.
The sheep men sold their herds,
scraped their money together and have
done vast amount of prospecting and
developing. Several tunnels have been
driven into the hill and in each in
stance large body Of high grade cop
per ore has resulted. During the spring
a cloudburst swept down the canyon,
and instead Of damaging the workings
it washed the surface off and exposed
another ledge that shows up big values.
During all the development and pros
pecting there has been little noise
made. Mining men have been made
welcome at the section and several fiat
tering offers have been turned down.
Careful assays hav been kept and the
entire work carried on in a thorough
manner.

GOLDFIELD PRODUCING AT
RATE OF $l,25O,OOO MONTHLY
Steady Development and Production Throughout
sodated Gound Proving Bigger and More
Shaft Completed and leas Are Ste adi Gou Throughout District

The usual progress and production
marked the week in the Goldfield
mines. The new compartment
shaft of the Florence company has
bcei completed from the $50 foo. levs,
to the surface, and as soon as new air
pipe line is completed from the CON-
pressor plant to the bottom of the shaft
to give plenty of capacity for the ad-
ditional drills that are being put in
use, work of sinking the shaft to $50
feet or more will be started. The two
big three-ton skips will be hung and
ore and waste win be pulled out of the
big shaft in a hurry. The Florence
now has one of the finest working
shafts and surface equipment of any
mine in the state of Nevada. Lateral
work is in progress at 500 feet depth,
and as soon as the shaft reaches the
600 and 7O0-foot points stations will
be cut and lateral work commenced
on those levels. The Florence is now
entering the new era of deep develop
ment, and for the first time is entering
really virgin ground, where leasing
operations have not taken out much
of the high grade ore for which the
estate is noted.

GIROUX COMPANY MAY
CONSTRUCT SHELTER

ELY, New, Oct. Z. - In conformity
with the statement recently made by
John d. Ryan, it is learned that the Gi
roux Consolidated Mining Company il
making preparations to construct mill
and possibly a smelling plant at Ely
II is said that the final decision has
been reached regarding the building Of
a smelling plant, and it is possible that
concentrates from the mill may be
shipped to the international Smelling
plant at Toele.
1t is understood that the Giroux COM
pany has bought the town site and the
water rights of Stepsoe and Murray
creeks. This, of course, means the ex-
isting rights of these two streams of
water, which are said~to have a suffi-
cient flow to amply provide the mill
plant of a large capacity. The ground
in question is large area, a portion
of which the company is said to have
the mineral right to, and this deal will
give the surface rihgts also.
From this report it is surmised that
the management contemplates erecting
the mill near the present site of the
plant that was constructed under the
Giroux regime. This would give the
plant fat country on which to ope-
rate, and a large area for tailings,
which would flow down the valley by
gravity force. The water from the two
streams would have to be pumped some
distance to the plant, but large res
ervoir will be excavated near the mill,
so that liberal supply can be assured
at all times. From present indications
it seems probable thas the company
will complete arrangements for build
ing the plant at an early date.

GOOD SHOWING near
old CAMP OF TYPO

l.. Roberts, who with associates is in
terested in the Hot Creek section,
about eight miles south of Tybo, arriv-
ed in town today bringing a number of
samples from the property he has been
working, says the Tonopah Bonanza of
Tuesday. The ore he is exhibiting
comes from ledge thai crops out about
fifty feet in width and on the surface
can be traced for quite distance.
The assays show the surface rock to
carry about So in gold, while a pros
pecting shaft sent down to depth OF
twelve feet shows the values to increase
materially. The property is located IN
the porphyry foot hills and the gold
bearing rock is Of jasper formation,
bearing a resemblance to the Glendale
high grade.
The district affords excellent milling
facilities as there is an abundance OF
timber and water. Mr.. Roberts stated
that a tunnel can be driven into the
ledge on one side of the hill. On one
side 400-foot tunnel would open the
ledge at depth of 400 feet, while on
another depth of 1000 feet could be
attained by tunnel of practically the
same distance.

railroad. All the data is complete for
the building of such tram, and the
parties who have been building the
tram from Silver City to Dayton have
been over the ground and furnished
their estimates. Every tower is To-
Gated, bins planned and the dumpage
room at the railroad has been gone
over. With all of this work there has
been no noise.
Specimens of the ore have from time
to time been brought to this city. 1t is
rich in copper, being bornite and other
high grade in character. The fact that
a mine is situated practically on the
summit of the Sierras and away from
the general trend of the prospector has
prevented others from doing much
work in the district.
just how and where the ore is to be
handled the interested parties have NOT
made public. 1t is possible that they
are planning to help supply the Bruins
wick camp. At any rate everything is
ready for move at any time, and from
what was stated in this city few days
ago it is likely that the tram will be
put up this fall. From the amount that
is figured on for expenditure there
must be quantity Of ore exposed to
warrant the contemplated work. One
thing is certain and that is the speei-
mems exhibited in this city are the
richest in the way Of copper of any
thing recently brought into camp
With the success Of this property II is
safe to say that others just as import

UNCLE SANS DOCTORS.

Rank and Pay Of Physicians In the
Government Service.
Uncle Sam employs more than 1000
physicians.
These doctors are pretty evenly di-
vided between the medical corps Of the
army. the medical corps Of the navy,
the marine hospital and the public
health service. The complete army
medical corps includes 444 medical Of
icers in addition to the medical re-
serve corps. the hospital corps, the
nurse corps and the dental corps. The
medical corps embraces "a surgeon
general with the rank of brigadier gen
eral, IA colonies. 1O5 majors and 900
captains or first lieutenants, with the
rank, pay and allowances OF officers Of
corresponding grades in the cavalry
arm of the service"
The pay OF doctors Is interesting.
The lowest rank held by medical Of
dcers is that Of first lieutenant. The
medical lieutenant gets $1,000 per an
mum. or S166.66 monthly. At the end
OF three years he is promoted to cap
tain and receives $2.4OO a year. In two
years he receives an increase OF 10 per
cent, or five years service, making
$3.50. or 500 per month. After ten
years service the pay would be $3.50,
or $240 per month. The pay attached
to the rank Of major is $1,000 per year,
which. with 10 per cent added for each
five years service. becomes 5000 aft
er ten years service. $500 after if
teen years service and $4,000 after
twenty years service. The monthly
pay Of lieutenant colonel. colonel and
brigadier general is 1915, $416.66 and
$500 respectively.
