Well" said Scott, "it has been rep
resented that / sent letters from Gov
ernor McCurtain to X. G. Adams, en-
dorsing the McMu. ray contracts. That
is absolutely false"
Scott was formerly McCurtain's
secretary.
Scott said he paid for the kilograms
he sent to Washington and no one
reimbursed him.
"Then," said Burke, you were in
tcrcstcd i'm McMurray, not only to the
extent that you were willing to pay
him a ten per cent. commission, but
that you were willing to resign posi-
ton that paid you $500 a year aud
you were willing to spend money Tor
him?"
"Yos," said Scott.
"But you only had an interest I'm q
general way and in seeing the indian
affairs settled" Burke queried.
Scott said that was all.
The women heard that George w.
Scott was not Interested in the Nc
Murray contracts. Scott formerly was
treasurer Of the Choctaw nation and
is said to have given up his private
secretary to Chief McCurtain because
they C,Gshcd on the McMurray
question. but Scott is not Interested,
He told Chairman Burke so when the
latter questioned him at length.
Congrc ssman Campbell took a hand
and asked: "Do you think there Is

| McMurray''
mo" said Scott
"Thcn Why do you hold back on c>
plantations of your connection viii
him?"
"I have no contract with McMurraN
and I am not interested i'm him" was
Scott's Ieplay.
Testimony showing the utter sim
plicity of the Indians was brought ou'
when Scott was on the stand.
It was shown that the Indians were
! willing to sign away millions because
IL was contingent and did not repre-
| sent anything tangible In the McMur-
| raw land contracts, but they objected
10 signing the contracts because they
called for the immediate payment OF
$40.
Scott said he was 5000 behind or
the McMurray deal as McMurraN pa''
him S4OO for the tax contracts, br
no had spent 1000 He said the firm
Of Mansfield. McMurray and Cornisl
contributed $1,000 to the tribal cam
palgn fund and this was given to tn
men when the contracts were signed
Congressman Miller wrung from
Scott that while he was treasurer oi
the tribe he some times held up gov
ernment warrants for persons not his
friends. while he paid the others at
| once.
Also that he often discounted gov
! ernment warrants on a ten per cent
basis. Miller asked Scott II he thought
such practices as these were all riGh'
and Scott said he did.
Scott then admitted that he hat
collected more than 1000 tax con
tracts for McMurray. According Il
previous testimony McMurray paid $
each for these contracts.

SIOUX HAS MUCH ORE
NEAR COLORADO LINE

Persons who are counting upon Colo
RADIO soon being out of pay ore, upon
the strength of the report that Sioux
Consolidated had drifted to the north
line Of its property and found ere
without values. are likely to be disap-
pointed, said a well-known mining
man yesterday.
While II is true" said ne, that the
Sioux drift on the hanging wall side
OF the vein went into barren ground
near the Colorado-Sio line, it must
be remembered that that drift does not
represent the size of the ore channel
Where the Sioux Is mining. some dis
lance back from the line, is a body of
ore, and 1t all carries pay values.
There is no reason why like conditions
should not exist in Colorado"
This same authority said that even
yet the ore body encountered some
months ago on the 450-foot level of
Sioux. Consolidated had not been ex :
plored to an extent that determined
whether It is a new bed of ore or the
downward extension of the original
ore body The ore appears to be go
ing down strong in the floor of the
lower drift Considerable ore for ship
ment has been taken from that work
ing.

OPEX DRILL CORE
GOOD COPPER ORE
Centennial Ore Body Is Finally
Located Across Line,
IT'S Said.

Encountering copper ore in the sec
ond drill hole driven from the 2,150-
foot level OF the Opex mine, is said to
have been the cause of the latest mar
ket squirt made by the companys
stock.
Information concerning the situation
in Opex is not given out officially, but
insiders who profess to have seen the
drill cores say that the strike is genu-
inc.
The drilling is being done near the
Centennial Eureka line. The first drill
hole was sent upward from the 2,15O-
foot level at an angle Of something like
40 degrees; that sent it into Centen-
NAL Eureka ground, where the ore
body was encountered. The second
hole, in which the ore has just been
entered, was sent upward entirely in
Opex ground.
AS the Centennial Eureka ore bodies
extend southwark they trend down
ward, in steps, it is said, so that in
Opex the ore was found at somewhat
greater depth than it was in Centen-
NAL.
To open the ore encountered by the
drill, 1t will be necessary to DRIFT 200
feet and raise some distance-so the
report goes.

Marked improvement in the ore show
ing in the Bourne tunnel is reported by
Winthrop W. Fisk, in his latest letter
from Jarbidge to Utah associates
There is some ore in the Pick and

although no work is being done there
at this time. In the Pavlak a crosscut
tunnel is being driven.

ment upon their bond and to receive
deed for the property Two lessees
are working on the Pavlak ground, but
none is at work on the Bourne, the
owners of which have failed TO furnish
signed leases.
''Some of those who came in to take
leases On the Bourne have instead TAX
en- a bond on a group of claims south
of the Pick and Shovel, upon which
payment was made today.
"a deal has been closed for a group OF
claims on the west side of the river,
just above the Pavlak, and parties are
here looking over the Long Hike
claims with the view OF taking them
over.
Negotiations are about closed for
the purchase Of another group near
the Pavlak and two small deals for
properties in the Taylor Pocket camp
have been closed. Properties several
miles up the river are being examined
by prospective purchasers 1t looks as
though there would soon be much more
activity here"

MINE CAR OF ORE
VALUEDAT $4,000
Stall Lease at National Makes
Record in Picture Rock
Production.

A mine carload OF ore, about 1000
pounds, which was valued at $4,000,
was taken from the Stall lease, at
National the other day, according to
advices from camp. 1t is believed to be
the richest ore of like quantity ever
hoisted from a Nevada mine
Since the litigation affecting the
block of ground under lease was COM
promised a force of miners has been
at work connecting wines and raises
with the view of making a continuous
working shaft to what is known as
No. 3 tunnel, giving a depth of about
300 feet from the surface. 1t is at the
lowest station in the shaft thus formed
that has been opened the largest body
of bonanza ore yet found in the famous
lease, and it was from that disclosure
that the fabulously rich skip" of ore
was hOisted.
While this carload of picture ore was
the first to be taken from the lowest
level of the lease workings, il was not
the first to be produced since work was
resumed. Bullion valued at S25, 900. eX-
tracted- from ore taken from the lease,
was shipped to the mint last Friday
from Winnemucca-
Two more mills are to be installed
to reduce ores from the. property of
the National Mining company. One is
to be specially constructed mill to
work the high-grade ore taken from
the Stall lease, while the other is to
be plant of forty tons daily capacity
to treat the large tonnage of lower
grade ores upon various dumps of the
property.
