SAYS RICE IS HEAD OF
NEW BROKERAGE FIRM
NEW YORK PAPER CALLS
ATTENTION TO PERSONNEL
OF COMPANY As WE'LL AS A
FEW OTHER THINGS.

The New York Mining Curb. de-
voted to affairs indicated by its
name, contains the following in a
recent issue concerning a new bro
kerage firm that recently opened its
doors in that city.
For the benefit of our subscribers
who may not want To be stung in the
future as they were stung in the past
We wish to call attention to a new
firm which has just opened up at No.
30 Broad street on the thirteenth
floor.
This new firm is known as Levy
& Co.
Printers who want the business
of the firm. such as printing of mar
ket letters and other 'sueker-catch-
ing stuff that the firm may see fit to
print. are referred to a tall, good
looking chap in a side room.
This man is b. IA. Scheftels, the
right hand man of Graham Rice. in
the late lamented firm OF b. II.
scheftels & Co, which was raided
and closed by the agents of the de-
partment of justice.
The name of the new firm was
printed on the door 1907 yesterday
afternoon, and in one room there was
the buzz Of talking stenographers
ready to send out the material To
reap the scheekels of the unwary.
1T is understood that Levy & Co,
were in business for a time on Fifth
avenue. but for reasons best known
10 themselves they decided to move
below the dead line. We will have
a few words to say about the litera.
ture sent out by Levy & Co, later.
Having warned Il readers as to
the hackers of Levy & Co. WI have
done our duty. and now If they are
stung 1t is their W fault. VIII they

Of THE ELY
ILL|PAH DISTRICT
.,rrrRAN PROsPECTOR VISITS
,,xV CAMP IN WESTERN
WHITE PINE AND EXPRESSES
CONFIDENCE N PROPERTY.

Tom Hart. one of the Oldest and
.ost known prospeetors In the dis
,rict. has just come in from the Ely
ullnah company's ground, and ex-
crosses himself in a most enthusiastic
manner In regard to that property.
The showings are indicative of the
development of a big mine.
"The company" said Mr.. Hart,
controls II claims, known as the
Mabel group, and running from l
% II inclusive. The veins exposed
on he different claims lie in the
tertiary limestone. The classified
tion is arbitrary. Porphyritic in
t~rusions are frequent. Where OPP
erations are being conducted on No.
II claim. stringers and yeinlets of
quartz varying in width from a
knife blade to four and five inches,
accompany the spar with a general
north and south trend. The values.
annarently, are disseminated all
through the mammoth ledge which
shows for a width of so feet. The
porphyritic intrusions inspire con-
fdenee. In Colorado, in particular,
are they In evidence and there where
they exist have been developed
some of the greatest gold mines of
the world. Lieutenant +. j. Spur
has traced them from Acapulco.
Mexico, To Delamar, Idaho.
"A hoist has been put up on the
Mabel No. IL, and they have sunk
TO a depth of 40 feet. In this shaft
assays have been taken ranging
from st4 to $50 in gold. The ore
carries some silver values which are
most encouraging to the practical
miner. Lead and copper are also
found, the lead assaying 81 per
cent and occurring in the white or
calf spar. Copper assays OF 10 per
cent have also been taken. II. J.
Schwanbeck, who Is in charge of the
sinking operations. feels much elat-
ed over conditions. Within a month
he says the incline will have reached
a depth of 100 feet from which point
they will crosscut the big vein. and
Stopping of the ore will follow. My
advice is to keep your eye on lllipah.
THE country Is virgin territory.
II was not overlooked by the STAN
peders of 80, but was not prospect
ed In the modern acceptance of the
term. To August Munter belongs the
honor of introducing the district to
the notice of the mining public. Mr..
Munter invaded this mineralized sec
ton some three years ago and by
persistent efforts has demonstrated
that In the range lying Immediately
west of Jake's Valley exists values
in gold. which with proper develop
ment will add materially 10 the bull
lion output of the state.
I'm the early days of the White
Pine excitement. the territory EN-
braced in the new camp was doubt
less visited by the %prospector of that
time. This would seem probable
from It's proximity TO Hamilton, Urea
Hill. E~berhardt and other loeali-
ties In the famous mineral belt which
attracted thousands of adventures
to the scenes Of the rich deposits of
the white metal. But there is little
evidence of anything having been ae-
complished in Illipah. nothwithstand-
