Elko Independent, March 10: Mr..
Russell has received a letter from +. A.
Fulkerson, foreman Of the Dunphy

places the loss by the food at between
300 and 700 head and the loss by cold
weather between 300 and 400. The
total loss by water and mud and by the
extreme cold weather will not exceed 10
per cent of the number Of cattle on the
ranch.
p. s. Brooks, foreman OF the Russell
Land and Cattle Company, is in town.
In speaking Of the food at Battle Noun
tain. he said that a wall Of water came
down the Humboldt river and covered
the lowlands Of the company's ranch to
a depth of two feet. Nearly all the
cattle were removed to the highlands
and only q few were lost.
During the Winter the company ship.
ped $500 head of cattle to Lovelock and
fed them there. All but a few hundred
head have been shipped back and turned
ont on the range. The feed is good and
the cattle are doing we'll. Those still q,
Lovelock will be shipped back to the
ranch in q few days.
Mr.. Russell reports the loss Of the
company from the cold weather and the
food as slight.

Governor Dickerson Removes
State Engineer Nicholas

The removal OF Ctate E0g1Qec AV0
nor Dickerson has caused political sensation throughout the State.
According to he Reno Gazette Of March 2, the Governor called
Nj. Nicholas into his Office and read the following letter to him;
March 1, 1910.
"Mr FRANK R. NICHOLAS. State Engineer,
Carson City, Nevada
dear sir-Something over a month ago l called your atten-
ton to the fact that q protest had been fled in this office against
your action in working in the interest of one of the htlgants as
against the other Iitigants in the case of Joseph c. Tognoni vs.
Louisa irwin ct al and requested you to produce such proofs as
you may possess tending to controvert the statements set forth II
that protest, which was shown you at the time of our conversation
This, / find, you have failed to do with the exception OF furnishing
this Office with the opening brief of the plaintiff which Is no proof
at all In view Of the fact that you granted a permit to water, the
title of which was held under a Supreme Court decision, upon an
investigation made in one day and without giving the protessanfs
against such permit an opportunity to be heard, and the further fact
that something over a year after the permit had been granted you
sent your assistant into the Duckwater country to make an examin-
alton Of the geological conditions Of the country for the purpose OF
having your assistant appear as a witness In the case just men
toned, and that during the trial of the cause in the Fifth Judicial
District Court in and for Nye County you assumed an attitude OF
extreme partizanship, deem it incumbent upon me to take action
in the matter
at also appears that you charged the defendants in the above
entitled action witness fees to the amount of s4790 and, having
occasion to return to Carson City after you had been dismissed as a
witness by the defendants, you collected travelling expenses from the
State while returning to Tonopoh to testify as a witness for the
plaintiff
"The State Engineer has no more right to employ his office
force or to exert any influence in upholding a decision made by him
than has the District Court to uphold its decision when the same is
pending in a higher tribunal, and when such course is pursued it
must inevitably initiate against the best interests of the State.
"For the reasons above given, I am convinced that your useful
as a State officer has come to an end, and L am prepared to
receive your resignation to-day as State Engineer of the State OF
Nevada
avery truly yours,
I'D. s. DIcKERsoN,
"Lieutenant and Acting Governor.

4 VISIT TO s|LVERADo
Work In Some of the Mines
There Being Prosecuted With
Good Results

Last Saturday I visited the camp OF
silvsrsdo. particularly the mines Of
@. W. RIDDEN and the Fred E~sselbrusEe
estate. This camp. although in White
Pine County, is tributary TO Eureka In
early days much work was done here,
and the camp, although small, Is credit
cd with IN ouspus Of 500. 900.
As in nearly all Camps in this section
Of the Ssste. the surface alone has been
barely scratched, and what will be the
output when some depth 10 reached 10
not known, although the indications are
that there are great ore bodies lower
down.
Mr.. Rudsn kindly took me all through
his workings The ground Is much
broken up and there are many slips and
faults. bat in at least four places good
sized ore veins, dipping at angles from
45 to 90 degrees, are found and are being
worked. One Of the noteworthy facts IL
that all these veins seem TO makef for .
ommon center farther down. In ex-
amining the ground one cannot help bot
feel certain that all these are merely
branches Of one great body Of ore which
will be found by sinking The mines
are all dry and the ground 10 so solid
that no timbering is needed. This makes
them a good poor mans proposition
Mr.. Ruden has been working In the
district nearly six years. First he had
as partner Fred E~sselbrugge. who died.
Now Frank Kopp has q lease of the
interest OF the Esselbrusge estate and 10
working with Mr.. RIDDEN. For the
greater part Of the time. however. the
latter has worked alone
There are two claims in the group,the
Washington and the Maryland. and
without any means whatever TO carry
on the work, Mr.. RIDDEN has made q
success of is, and 10 making more than q
good living out Of these claims. He has
built . ine cabin on the ground, M
here / was entertained with q sumpsu-
Gus Innch before starting back to
stopping place. Pinto Creek.
Mr.. Ruden says that during the last
five years . couple Of shipments were
made with others, but Of these | could
not see the actual eturns- The smelter
returna that I did see and copy are the
following:
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1910-03-26

With the two shipments Of which
did not see the returns. the gross re-
turns will o 10 about $4,000, and re-
member this is practically one mans
work alone, and hat without machinery
Of any kind. At the present time there
is In the ore house and on the dump be-
tween 40 and 50 tons Of high grade ore
swsiting shipment. This was taken ont
during the Winter by Mr.. RIDDEN and
Mr.. Kopp. Oh recount Of the wash
outs on the railroad this cannot now be
shipped.
The nature Of the ore 10 . lead ore car
rying . good per cent in silver and q
small per cent in copper. 1t carries
only from 8 to . per cent in quartz or
i~nsolvent. 20 that the working charges
are low. In fact on some OF the ore,
carrying nearly 20 per cent in lead. q
premium for lead wal paid by the
smelter.
There seems to be two principal veins
or lodges, one running on the east side
and one on the west side Of the Silver
ado camp. These two seem to unite on
che Washington and Maryland ground.
These are only two Of the claims !
have visited in this camp. There are.
however, many more. and the nature OF
the ore seems to be about the same. The
only ore that now be shipped at .
profit is high grade ore. The freighting
charges to Eureka are IS a ton, and the
freight to the smelter is from % to 20 a
ton. There Is an abundance OF low
grade ore that must, at present, be left
in the mines or stored outside. BY low
grade l mean ore running from $40 "a
s2o q ton. and with better shipping
facilities all Of this could be probably
taken ont.
OF course the Ely-Goldfsid Railroad
should IL come this . would be
great blessing to the camp.
