Station Completed at f400
Foot Level and Only 300
feet to Go In CroSScut.
WATER HAS RECEOED l26 FEET
PERMANENT HOSTING PLANT IS
FINISHED AND WAITS ONLY
CONNECTIONS TO OPER-
ATE LOWER LEVELS.

The station at the 1,400-foot level
of the five compartment Giroux shaft
of the Giroux Consolidated Mines
company has been completed with
the exception of one set of timbers.
This will be put in within the next
few days. and then crosscutting to the
ore at this depth will be commenced.
The station is the width of the shaft,
20 feet, and has been cut into the
rock for a distance of 80 feet. A
pump is now ON the way for this
station, pump for a short lift, for
it will have to raise the water en-
countered at this level only 200 feet
to the big pumping station at the
1900.
At this latter level the crosscut is
being continued and has but little
more than 800 feet to go to reach the
Alpha ore body. The water in the
Alpha shaft has been reduced 126
feet from the 1,000-foot level; SO
that there are now in the shaft but
IA feet of water left. Comparatively
little water is coming in through the
assures in the roof of the 1,200-foot
crosscut, the pumps averaging but
400 gallons a minute for the "a
hours as against a former average
of more than 700 gallons minute
for the day.
The development of the Alpha ore
body is being done in most scientific
manner from the viewpoint of min-
ing. The recollection of the Alpha
cave is so strongly impressed upon
the minds of the management that
no chances are being taken in that
direction. From the 700 level and
the 1,000-foot level drifts are being
run, both of which are to be carried
around the old Alpha shaft so as to
reach the ore behind that working
independently of the shaft. This will
carry the work beyond the danger
zone If danger should still exist, and
the exploration of the ore body will
be followed without regard to the
old shaft.
The big permanent hosting plant
has been completed but is not yet
in operation; nor will il be started
up until connections are all made
with the present workings. This will
mean sometime next month and
everything then will be running in
full blast. The churn drills have not
resumed prospecting for the reason
that there is yet too much snow on
the ground at Kimberly and in its
vicinity. The snow is quite deep and
covers the ground from the mine to
Reipetown.

EAST ELY PLAYS BALL
FIRST TIME IN SEASOD
NEVADA NORTHERN TO CROSS
BATS WITH HIGH SCHOOL
TEAM At LOCAL PARK THIS
AFTERNOON.

The baseball fever has East Ely in
its grip, and now the national game
has gone the rounds of the district.
Today at 2:30 O'clock, in the ball
grounds of East Ely the Nevada
Northern Railway team will cross
bats with the High School team of
Ely, and there promises to be some
good ball, Notwithstanding that this
will be the first time out for the To-
cal men.
The High School team did not
make the best of showing against the
Roughnecks in Ely On last Sunday;
but there were various reasons for
this. The boys were out for the first
lineup, and the grounds were
not in the best condition, and the
Roughnecks were too heavy for
them. Last Sundays game gave
them some of the practice of which
they were n need and they have
been freshening up during the week;
so that they should be in good fettle
when they go against the N. N. R..
bunch. the cracker jacks of last year.
The High School boys will have
practically the same men who played
at Ely on Sunday, with some ad-
ditions to strength the lineup; and
the lineup of the local men will be
as follows:
Fay, p; Waits, c; Ormsbee, r. T.;
burke, I'd; Blatenberg. 3D. Moss, l !;
Curry, If; Fulmer ss; Smoot, cf;
Hoply, substitute.
r. c. Conley will act as umpire.
The game will be purely an exhi-
bition game and there will be no ad-
mission price charged. There prom
ises TO be lots of fun as we'll as some
good ball playing. Come down and
see the fun, as well as getting the
rust off your roofing vernacular.

CALL ISSUED FOR
.F|GHT|N G MEN
WAR DEPARTMENT RECRUITING
ARMY TO FULL STRENGTH
AND SENDING BIG FORCE TO
GUARD ISLAND POSSESSIONS.

The United States army is call
ing for recruits all over the country,
to bring the troops now modified in
Texas and California to their full
regimental strength. This means an
increase of 5000 or 1000 men, and
is a straw which shows which way
the wind is blowing.
There has been war talk in the air
for several weeks past; and the mill
tary and naval foreign experts have
been airing their views with regard
to the situation between America
and Japan. One German expert ridi-
eules our army and shows that we
have no chance with rnat of the little
brown men. Our own experts in the
army and navy circles are also sound
ing warnings to the effect that the
Japs have been preparing for years
for a mess with this country, while
the United States government has re-
mained idle.
Both President Taft and the Jap
anese minister 10 the United States
have denied that there is any trouble
between the two powers, or that there
is any cause for trouble. Then the
orders go out to strengthen the army
and troops and ordance are being
hurried to the Hawaiian Islands, the
most important strategic point in the
Pacific to each country in case of
war. The axiom of the greatest gen.
erals is I'm times of peace prepare
for war;" and it looks as if both
America and Japan were getting
ready for a mixup. In the mobiliza-
tion of the troops on the Mexican
border, it is apparent that there is
nothing significant with regard to
Mexico; but there are unquiet
rumors to the effect that Japan is
endeavoring to obtain coaling
station in Magdelena Bay, just be-
low Califarnia.
This country will not permit any
thing of the kind, and should Mexico
be a party to such an agreement,
then would come the time for inter-
ference in Mexican affairs. Throngs
of Japanese fill Mexican cities and
districts: and it is generally believed
that they are part of Japtn's fighting
army; and that they are there for
the purpose of swarming into the
United States when trouble starts
with the Mikado. There will not be
much swarming while the American
troops are bivouekei on the Mexican
border.
The standing army of the United
States is limited by law to 100, 900
men; for this country has always
been the abiding place of peace.
Japan has standing army of 450.-
600 men and reserve of 1850 900.
The militia of the United States COM
prises, organized, 121,000 men and
officers; unorganized, 15,5O0, 900.
The law prescribes that the militia
shall consist of every able-bodied
male citizen of the respective states.
This country is far ahead of Japan
in its navy, both as to ships and men.
We have "a modern battleships to
Japan's IL; nine old battleships to

RUSH TO SAGE MOUNTAIN
LUREO BY CALL Of GOLD
Mining Boom Started Near the California Line on
Report of Big Strike, But Mystery Still Sur
rounds the Values Of the Ore Discovered.

which yielded so much high grade
as to make ii famous as the home of
some of the worlds richest mines.
The Gazette has failed to find any
rock brought in from the new strike
which yields any values whatever.
This does not necessarily condemn
the ground for the reason that the
men who did find values may not be
taking the world into their conf
dence On the other hand a town
site boom has been started, always
one of the concomitants of the
modern gold mining camp rush; and
if the hackers of this had any values
to show they would be displaying
them in all the hotels, on the street
corners and every public place in
Reno.
AS far as this district is concerned
we will be in possession of the facts
after Lee Glockner has reached the
ground. Gold mining is his special
ty, and he has the reputation of be-
ing able to discern gold ore not only
at a glance; but to scent it block
off. From what can be learned here
the strike is close TO Sierra county,
i'm California, the scene of a number
of strikes and gold excitements. The
ground there is much broken, and the
ore pockety. The Rainbow mine has
yielded many pockets, the gold being
free and much of il being found in
nuggets. Thirty years ago a nugget
the weight of which is now forgotten,
was taken from the Rainbow and
sent to London on a prospective sale
of the property. Ii was afterwards
broken up, and yielded very close to
$25,
If this is the nature of the new dis
covery there will without a doubt be
an exodus to the camp; for free gold
mining has the same fascination foI
the miner and prospeetor as has the
placer diggings of the old California
days and the later days of Alaska
There is a chance for one of the big
gest rushes ever known; and at that
the workings may simmer down to
the stringers and yeinlets of Raw
hide. In the patois of the prospeetor
miner and promoter there's a
chance" and the development of
the biggest mines in the world was
based upon taking the chance.

FEET FROZEN WHILE HUNTING.

Robert Burke, forest ranger with
headquarters at Illipah, had mar
row escape from death while hunting
last week, when he was oyertaken
by a heavy snowstorm with the
result that his horse was unable to
proceed and he was compelled TO
dismount and lead the animal.
Mr. Burke had gone up Cathedral
Canyon in pursuit Of mountain lion
which had been seen frequently in
that section of late. II was with diff
fieulty that he managed to make his
way back and when he reached the
RoseYear ranch he was almost ex-
hausted and it was found that his
feet were frozen. After few days
treatment at the ranch he was taken
to Currant Greek where he will re-
main with Ranger VIM. f. Thorne

FULMER WINS
HIGH HONORS
WHITE PINE ASSEMBLYMAN
CHAIRMAN OF MOST IMPORT
ANT COMMITTEES IN HOUSE
AND FATHERED MANY BILLS.

Jake Fulmer, Republican assem-
biyman from White Pine county. re-
turned to East Ely from Carson on
last Monday night accompanied By
his wife and family Mr. Fulmer
was one of the hardest working
members in the lower house during
the entire session, and was chairman
of the most important committee IN
the assembly, that of ways and
means. II was his first experience
as lawmaker, but he proved an apt
scholar. and the fact that he was
made chairman of the ways and
means committee showed that he had
given careful study to the details of
the work of a solon before entering
upon his duties at Carson.
Assemblyman Fulmer's ready
adaptability to conditions, and his OPP
timistic disposition are the essentials
of the successful statesman. He
worked early and late in the inter
ests of his constituents, and was the
author of a number of measures,
succeeding in getting no less than
fifteen passed through both houses.
In his capacity of chairman of the
ways and means committee he was
one OF the watehdogs of the treasury,
for il is through that committee
that all appropriation bills must pass
including the general appropriation
bill and the state budget. The chair
man is one of the pillars upon which
the governor must lean, and As
semblyman Fulmer was a strong sup
porter of the governor and his poll
eies. That his strength was reeogn-
ized out side of his own county is evil
denced by the following tribute from
the Carson City News:
in the session just past one of the
strongest and ablest men upon the
floor of the house was Assemblyman
Fulmer of White Pine.
1T Is a fact that every measure
that this gentleman introduced and
which he desired passed went
through without a hitch.
"As chairman of the committee
upon ways and means, he proved
himself to be a hard and able worker
and one who had the interest of the
state at heart He is the possessor
of the admirable faculty of making
friends. Quick in his manner, out
spoken on every question and honest
as the day was long, he was without
doubt one of the strongest Republi-
cans on the floor"

Busy Hive of Men In the Work
ings of Nevada Consolidat-
ed at Copper Flat.
LEvEL|NG A HIGH MOUNTAIN
ENDLESS CHAIN OF ORE TRAINS
ON THE HIGH LINE AND
THE OUTPUT Is
INCREASING.

Everything is running in fine
shape at the steam shovel pit at Cop
per Flat, six steam shovels being reg
ularly at work tearing out the over
burden and scooping up the ore. On
the west side of the pit where is GO
ing on the greatest amount of exca-
vation they are averaging about so
feet of overburden as against more
than 100 feet on the opposite side.
The big hill on that side is being
rapidly reduced TO comparative
mole hill, and one of the steam
shoyels is at work almost at the top
of the monument
1t is a busy sight that Is presented
in the pit at this time, for everything
is under way there in fun blast.
Over in the south end the high grade
copper ore still continues, sweeten-
ing the low grade sulphide ore. run
ming mp the average al the coneen-
traitor. In addition to the trainloads
of sulphide ore which go down the
high line in seemingly endless pro-
cession. carloads of carbonate ore are
being shipped. This goes TO the con-
yerter In lieu OF the silica formerly
used for lining in the big melting
pots. In the carbonate ore the cop
per, gold and silver values are saved.
so that the disuse of the silica lining
is a money saving process in more
ways than one.
At the Liberty pit over the hill
from Copper Flat one steam shovel
is In operation: but that shovel Is
doing the work of small army of
men. No attempt is being made at
production although the ore has been
encountered. The operations are be-
ing confined to the removal of the
oyerbnrden, stripping the ore. so that
when the production is started there
viii be a continual and uninterrupted
output from the little pit. The new
dumping ground for Liberty pit is
in the vicinity of Rieptown on Ne
yada Consolidated ground: and in
tearing down one hill they are build
ing up another.
AT the big reduction plant in Me-
Gill they are practically through with
construction work; but a large repair
force is still maintained so that
there will be no occasion for a shut
down at any time In mill, smelter or
converter. The output of blister
copper for this month will be In the
nelghborhood of 5000 600 pounds.

Reno, within the past few days
has become the rush center for a
boom camp located at the foot of
Sage mountain in Washoe county,
near the California line. The rush
has all the color of the early boom
days of southern Nevada, with the
difference that Reno is aiding it, In
the early days of Tonopah and Gold
field the Renoites made it their busi-
ness to head off as much of the i'm
migration into the southland as pos
sible. But it is different with the
Sage mountain boom; they are pull
ing for it and the cars of the n. c. o.
line are loaded down to the guards
with rushers for the new camp.
Lee Glockner, general manager of
the Ely Central, and one of the early
boomers of the Robinson district, is
the first 10 leave here for the new
strike. Mr.. Glockner knew no more
about the conditions of the strike
than what the papers brought: but
that was enough to justify him in
going to have a look. He left here
on Friday morning, not unduly ex-
cited, but TO go and satisfy himself
as to whether the discoveries are
worth while. The Reno Journal
states that the people are hanging on
TO the steps of the cars on their way
TO the new FL Dorado.
The first reports which came from
the strike We're wild beyond all rea-
son. 1t was given out that a nine
pound boulder carried $4,000. This
would make the rock worth 1886 Sc
a pound, while pure gold at $20.65
an ounce would go out $247.S0 to
the pound, or $2,230.20 for nine
pounds. The authority for the first
report cannot be traced. The Reno
Gazette, after the first eonvulsions
of the story had passed, started to
investigate the details from a COM
mercial standpoint, and according TO
the issues of that paper at hand, it
has not demonstrated the truth of
the showings to its own or anybody
else's satisfaction.
The formation of the new country
appeals TO mining men, the claim
being made that the values lie in the
contact between the porphyry and
the granite This is similar to
the formation of Cripple Greek

WORK ON ELY ILLIPAH.
Operations Will BE Resumed Upon
Property of the Local Company.

Work is. to be resumed Immediate
ly upon the holding of the Ely llli-
pah Mining company, in which
number of local people in East Ely,
McGill and Ely are interested. Aug
ust Munter, who has had charge of
the operations on the property, left
for the Moorman ranch this week,
and his first work will include the
construction, of a building for the
accommodation of the employees of
the company; after which develop
ment of the property will be con-
tinued.
A shaft has been sunk to depth
of 100 feet, from which crosscut
has been extended for a distance of
80 feet. The shaft will be timbered
and sinking and crosseutting con-
tinued. From all accounts the prop
erty has a very good chance, for
good values in gold have already
been secured as far as development
has been prosecuted.

SWITCH LOCK INVENTED
BY GEORGE MARSHALL
POPULAR CONDUCTOR ON THE
McGILL SUBURBAN HAS AP-
Piled FOR LETTERS OF PAT
ENT ON MUCH NEEDED DEVICE

A switch which cannot be left un-
locked is boon for which nearly
every railroad in the United States
has been looking. both as a measure
of economy as we'll as of safety. 1t
is the rule of the roads now that a
switch when turned must be locked
before a brakeman leaves it; but it
is rule that is held in the breach
as often as in the observance. 1t is
not always possible to trace the
neglect to the proper source, for a
key can be slipped out of lock
without locking a switch thereby
exposing train to danger.
George Marshall, conductor on the
day run of the Ely-McGill suburban,
is the inventor of a patent which fits
the bill, and which makes 1t impos-
sible to remove the key from a lock
unless the switch be locked without
breaking the key. A brakeman who
shows up before the superintendent
of the road with broken key, might
as well have his resignation with
him. The new contrivance has been
tried out and has proved a success,
and Mr.. Marshall has applied for
letters of patent.
The combination lock and key is
a little thing but it is the little things
that count in this life, making up the
big things. Undoubtedly there will
be big demand for the article; and
Mr.. Marsall and +. X. Hutchison,
who is associated with the inventor.
having put the invention in proper
shape for the patent attorneys and
for the shop, are going to have made
model of the lock and switch.
When this is perfected they will be
in a position to do business with
anyone, and will then look after the
commercial end of the enterprise.
