BIG OPERATIONS HINGE ON
MAGNATES VISIT TO ELY

The Ely Expositor of Monday says
Representing many millions of capital
a large party arrived in the distr,e'
last night and registered at the Step
toe hotel in East Ely. In the party
are the representatives of the Cole
Ryan syndicate and the Gum Thomp
son interests, which latter owns the
townsite of East Ely. The object OF
the visit of the party as to determine
on the purchase of the East Ely town.
site, and its mission is fraught with
the greatest Importance to the future
of the district. Some time ago the
Expositor published a story to the eff.
feet that the Coie-Ryan syndicate,
which is the representative in the cop
per world of the Standard Oil inter
ests, had secured an option on the
properties of the Gum Thompson peo-
pie, and that in ali probability the
deal would go through. The need for
these holdings by the Cole-Ryan syndi-
cate is the Steptoe water rights which
go with the purchase.
In the Cole-Ryan party are: John
c. Greenaway of Warren, Ariz., gen.
eral manager of the Calumet and Arl-
IONA Mining company and of the Su-
perior and Pittsburg Copper company;
James Wood of Douglas, Ariz-, super
intendent of the Calumet and Arizona
Reduction works; Arthur Cole of Can
anea, superintendent of the Cananea
Reduction works; John Langton of
New York, consulting engineer of the
Cananea works, and s. w. Landon, .
young mining engineer; Frank Strath-
ern of Cananea and w. B. Copeland Of
Duluth, MINI.
The representatives of the Cole
Ryan syndicate are mainly from the
Arizona properties of the latter. The
president of the Cananea Consolidated
Copper company was one of the party,
but he was obliged to drop out at Salt
Lake and go to Los Angeles on account
of sickness.
Among the representatives of the
Gum Thompson people are: o. J. Nc
Council, formerly general manager Of
the Ely Securities company and the
personal representative of William B.
Thompson; H. w. Anderson of Dexter,
N. H.; and D. F. Rowe of London, Eng

The Tonopah BONANZA saws:

The Tonopah Bonanza says:
Five bars of gold bullion valued ap
proximately at $4,000, were placed on
display in the windows of the Tonopah
Banking Corporation yesterday after
noon and drew a large crowd of inter
ested people. Shortly after being plae-
ed on exhibition the space in front of
the window was crowded, while the
more curious thronged the inside Of the
bank to have a closer look at the small
fortune. The bullion was brought in
from Manhattan by A. J. Poak and was
extrated from the Peak and Chapman
lease on the Big Four ground in that
camp. 1t was the result of a 400ton
cleanup, and it is estimated that the
value Of the ore milled averaged above
$50 to the ton. Shortly after Mr..
Poak' 8 arrival Fred Chapman, brother
of Cecil Chapman, one of the owners
of the lease, who is superintendent of

saturated with quicksilver in order 70
take up the large quantity of gold and
silver contained in the ore. In all
parts of the milling plant where the
'faiick'' is used and where amalgam
can collect, the shining mass of metal
piles up in large punches. Cleanups at
the War Eagle mill these days have
all the semblance of one of Uncle
Sam IS minis.
The Poak-C hapman-S teen lease on
the Big Four is sure to be one of the
history makers of the district, not only
this district, but is certain to attract
statewide and countrywide attention.
This is so because it does not require a
far look into the future to satisfy one 3
self that the production from that rich
acreage must of necessity pile up for
tunes for the lucky leasers and a hand
some royalty for the claim owners.
The ore deposit on the Big Four is
not a mere pocket or bunch of higa
grade. Long drifts are made on the
ore shoot, demonstrating its continu-
ance. and the face of the drift in the
old workings still show rich ore.
There is nothing to prevent the
~leasers from stopping high grade for
many months to come. They have
nearly two years. time ahead of them,
before the lease expires, and it's q
cinch that the fortunate lease holders
will pull out enough to last for a life
time-and then some.

DRY CONCENTRATION is
A SUCCESS AT AUSTIN

the lead in this state made by the
Austin Manhattan company.
The mill superintendent is Fl. A.
Smith, formerly connected with the
plant of the U. s. Smelling company at
Midvale, Utah. Under him are three
excellent mill foremen, Allan McOwen,
C. Z. Hart and H. l.. Morse.
The present plant "a be triplicatei
at a very small cost, making a mill of
rs tons daily capacity, and without
further extensions of the mill building
the plant can be raised to $50 tons
daily capacity. And the ore discovere1
at the 800 level in the Jack Pot will
more than keep such a plant busy "a
hours of the day. In the crosscut at
this level twelve veins have been ex-
posed, one of six feet in with, with
so ore, and a four foot vein, values
running from $25 to $50 a ton.
In this mine drifting on two levels
and sinking are in progress. The 60
horse power gasoline engine is being
used solely for the compressor.
A new steam hoist for sinking on the
shaft was installed this week. 1t is q
l0x12 double cylinder, single reel, and
was shipped from Salt Lake on cleo
ton day. In six days it was al the
Austin depot, making probably the
fastest freight delivery out Of Salt
Lake into Central Nevada. Five days
later it was in place at the Jack Pot
and is now working. Within sixty days
prosecuting will be in progress at the
400 level.

PRODUCING $1,000 DAILY
FROM BIG FOUR LEASE

For the past ten days the Peak
| -Steen lease on the Big -Four
claim at Manhattan has been sending
ore to the War Eagle mill, and the
daily cleanups run from $50 to 100
ounces of bullion. This is a daily ave-
rage of 700 ounces, the bullion being
worth about $40 an ounce, says the
Mail.
The mill handles an average OF 80
tons of ore per day, which makes the
value of the ore $1S4.50 per ton, fgur-
ing on the cleanup at $1,000 daily.
The Big Four claim covers the apex
of a small hill, a short distance west
of town, and right now that particu-
lar hill is the scene of feverish activ-
ity during all hours of the day and
night.
Not only is the remarkably rich ore
being hoisted with clock-like regular
ity during each of the three shifts, but
a large force of men is a t work rush
ing the installation of new equipment
that has arrived the past few days.
Two ~ten-horse loads of mining ma
chinery have been landed on the Big
Four claim lately, and a third ten-ani
may team is on the way from Tonopah
with the balance of the equipment and
a consignment of lumber.
The new gallows frame is already IN
place. A big crew of men under tbs
direction of Contractor johnson IS
rushing the installation of the mach'n
ery. which includes a 80 horsepower
| electric hoist, air compressor, trans
formers. etc. They are housing the
new plant and using every effort TO
complete the equipment in preparatioa
for the rush work that will soon be I'M

The leasers intend to sink the shaf
an additional so feet in the next ~

This property Is said to be worth at
least $15,000, 600, contains about 2,000,-
100000 tons of coal and at the Guffey
offices 1t vas estimated that Il profit
of but q cent per ton on this cooking
coal would total Il profit of $20,000,000
to the Guffey interests.
The reeeivership bill dled alleges that
Colonel Guffey has not the ready
money with which to meet the claims
of some creditors who have threatened
to sell bis collateral. These creditors
are understood to be banks IN Pitts
burg, Philadelphia and other parts of
Pennsylvania.
Politics have played perhaps as much
of a hand in the financial embarrass-
ment OF Colonel Guffey as have his
investments in coal lands. The Pitts
burg man who began as a very poor
boy took a hand In Pennsylvania poll
ties quite early In life and for many
years has been acknowledged as the
leader of the Democracy in this state.
His poeketbook was long n always
open to both state and national causes
of Democracy. Seemingly a natural
leader. he came into national promi-
nence In politics In 1897, when he WAS
elected Democratic national commit
teeman from Pennsylvania, replacing
William +. Harrity. Guffey came into
the national Political game as a Bryan
man, which made his quarrel with
Colonel Bryan three years ago all the
more spectacular. 1t was two years
ago at the Denver national convention
that Guffey was practically read from
the Democratic party by Colonel
Bryan, who had Colonel James Kerr
| made national committeeman In his
| place. Kerr died soon after his cleo
ton, and Colonel Guffey was again
made a member of the national COM
| mittee by his Democratic constituency
In Pennsylvania, Il position which he
yet holds. 1t is asserted that there
has not been q political Democratic
campaign in years in Pennsylvania
that has not been financed by him. The
drain on his purse politically became
too great.

1t was also learned that for some

customed to engage in revolver prac-
tice In the garden In the rear OF his

ANALYST, that Mrs. Crippen was killed
by blows on the head from q heavy
instrument that crushed her skull. ~
The information indicating that Mrs.
tCrfppen was killed In the cellar of the
house serves to clear up~a point that
has been worrying the police. namely,
how DR.. Crippen, who weighed only
about 100 pounds. could get the body
of his wife. twice his weight. down
into the cellar IL he had killed her on
one of the upper floors. There was
also a puzziing absence OF blood stains
or any other indications that a crime
of violence had been committed In thu
house proper.
Then In the seclusion OF the cellar
the body was dissected, the larger
bones removed. the remains sprinkled
with quicSlime and buried in the hard
clay soil. No trace has been found OF
the bones. They were undoubtedly
burned at the leisure OF the slayer.
