NITRE IN DEATH VALLEY

Immense filings for nitre have
been made by a syndicate in the
Death Valley section. Last week
the locators covered almost 5000
acres. and this week over 1000 adj
ditional acres were located the
total locations covering an area of
1l,840 acres. The nitre beds Just
discovered lie in the region of Owl
Hole Springs. Last week the
locators leased their locations to a
wealthy syndicate. Under the
terms of that lease they are to
receive SIS per year rental for each
cl.im for so years, and the
syndicate promises TO do 500
worth of development each year.
This assures the locators and
owners neat income, besides
assuring systematic development
of the property. Their rev
locations lie within short distan &c
Of the leased ground. The cnti e
country is said to abound in high
grade nitro. and its shipment &c
the Coast is said to mean fortunes
for the lucky owners. Nitre il

ER. LEW ENGLER

Another pioneer of Elko county
passed away in San Francisco Tues
day. when Mr.. Lew Engler closed
his eyes on the scenes of earth.
Mr.. Engler was born in Rehden,
Germany, April Is, lS43. When
but seventeen years of age, he left
his home and went to California
by the Panama route. He set led
in Sierra county and engaged
in the mercantile business with
his brother Jacob. He remained
in California until 1865, when he
and his brother rem owed to Salt
Lake City where they engaged in
the dry goods business. During
the White Pine excitement, he came
TO Elko and engage d in business
and remained here until 1878,
when he and his brother moved to
Tuscarora where they were in
partnership with Mr.. A. Primeaux
for several years. Mr.. Engler
remained in Tuscarora until three
years ago, when he came to Elko
and engaged in business with the
Engler Company.
Several years ago Mr.. EngIer
met with an accident in Tuscarora
that crippled him for life and
seriously impaired his health. He
failed gradually and several
months ago he went to San Fran
cisco for treatment. The physi-
clans decided that an operation
was necessary and he was placed
on the operating table. When the
incision was made, the physicians
discovered that Mr.. EngIer was
suffering from cancer and was
beyond human aid. The wound
was scwed up and nc was taken
from the table. From that time
until the summons came, re
lowered close to the border line
between life and death.
Mr.. Englcr was one of the
pioneers Of this county. lie did
his part in life without a murmur.
He was genial and courteous to all
and his charity was witout bounds.
His purse was always open to
elicve the needy and many un.
fortunatcs were made happy by his
generous gifts. Now that he has
pa ssed from us, let us cherish the
good he did and leave the evil, If

NO time TO THINK
OF JUMPING OFF

Suspended in midair, powrless
to escape. with the vision of the
drive cable gradually pulling
apart, and with the apprehension
that he night at any moment be
plunged violently into the wreckage
of the acreial tramway, John Keith,
the cool headed superintendent of
the keane Wonder, came out of
very serious situation without the
loss of life. limb or a penny's
worth of the company's property.
Mr.. Keith always goes to the
mine from the mill over the tram
way, a mile in length, riding
bucket or special passenger car.
Not many days since he and
Homer Wilson, the general mana
ser, had decided to go up to the
mine together. but Mr.. Wilson was
delayed and instructed Keith TO
go alone.
Just as the bucket in which Mr..
Keith was riding had passed the
break over" which is dividing
point between two of the very long
spans, he was horr flied to see the
drive cable passing on the opposite
side down toward the mill to be
gradually pulling apart, the sp!ic-
ing having weakened.
How long the cable would hold
out before the crash came was
food for thought, and Mr., Keith
had plenty Of time to think about
it for he had no opportunity of
jumping off until the upper
terminal was reached. He was
suspended in midair, hundreds of
feet above the PERCEPTIONS cam
yons, slowly moving toward the
yawning chasms. which might at
any time claim him as victim.
The drive caule was sinking.
sinking, not fast, but enough to
be noticeable, yet luckily it held.
Upon arriving at the upper term.
inal, Mr.. Keith rushed to the
engine house, stopped the tram,
and with a crew of men succeeded
in reaching the splice and making
the necessary repair. One half Of
the splicing had given away and a
few minutes more would have
brought the end.
Had this splice given away,
every bucket on the two miles of
cable would have dropped down.
ward like shot toward the mill.
wrecking towers and cable and
causing loss of many thousands
of dollars. II would have meant
almost the undoing of the tram,
which wash uilt over that very
rough country at great expense.
Further, Mr.. Keith doubtless would
have been killed.
The man who did the splicing
had been discharged some time
previous to the accident, which
happhcned few DAYS ago. Now
that NJ. Keith has returned to his
old job, he having been away some
months in Alaska. he will personally
superintcnd cable splicing and
repairing in the future.
The defective splicing was done
during his absence.
The Kcane Wonder aerial tram
way is one Of the wonders of this
part Of the country. Normally it
is as safe as any sky railroad on
earth, but the trip to the mill from
the mine is thrilling one for a
novice and many a visitor declines
second ionvitation to ascend the
steep mountain via the cable route.
No serious accident has occurred
on this tram and the recent Incl
dent is the first of the kind

DEVELOPMENT At JARBIDGE

Like every new mining camp.
Jarbidge has been the subject of
comfortable talk both favorable
and unfavorable. The conservative
element of that camp recently
organize a commercial club to take
charge of local conditions and to
see that none but correct informa-
ton was given to the public in
regard to the various mining
enterprise of that, section and to
discourage wild eating and all
forms of illcgitimate mining. The
following information has been
received stamped with the ap-
prevail of the Commercial club.
1.-THE tunnel of the Jarbdge Ely
is n about Go feet and has entered
wall of slate supposed to be the
wall of the vein. The next 10 feet
is expected to cut the first vein.
.theTs Hlk:iGh lie east of the
Pavlak are in its, course. These
have been opened up to the south
Of the camp disclosing ore. In
the heart of the proven district, it
has secured under bond and lease
the Guess group. o. p. Rudd of
Quincy, H., is one of the officer OF
the company and after inspecting
the different holdings is satisfied as
to the future of the property and
of Jarbidge.
The tunnel of the Rainbow
Amazon has encountered the
Pavlak vein and is five feet into
the quartz. 1t is fine granular
white quartz impregnated with
pyrites. The vein is well mineral
lied throughout the five feet. Drifts
will be run to the south, where
surface indications point to an ore
chute short distance away. The
depth on the vein is 1875 feet.
The Pavlak is much elated over
this strike as it insurcs another
source of milling orc when the con.
contractor is completed.
ION the St. Joe group. the tunnel
which is in about 60 feet is rapidly
proving the southern extension of
the Good Luck vein. The face is
almost entirely in quartz mineral =
lied by some pyritcs. The ore is
a hard blue quart similar to that
found on the Good Luck and Pick
and Shovel and is filled with
steaks of black iron and pyrites.
The tunnel gains about one foot in
depth for every two feet advanced.
THE mill at the Pavlak is
progressing slowly on account of
the weather. On the I'M lease the
tunnel has entered the last vein
about 40 feet below the point of
discovery. 1t is seven feet wide,
all good ore On the HAM And
lease, sinking is progressing
satisfactory. Some of the ore has
been sacked so that it can be con-
verified into money to continue
development. On the Gnrleyc
alsc. there is good body Of mill
ore but the high grade is still
elusive.
"An inappropriate name is that
of the Crater country which shows
no sign Of volcanic origin, the
district being basin with abrupt
walls. These basins are along the
top Of the range and their almost
vertical sides are due to the
breaking off Of the edges of the
upliftcd strata that form the Jar
bidge range.
The Crater vein has been traced
for distance of five miles. Some
rich ore has been opened up and
several companies are preparing
for development work as soon as
stopping opens up. The True
Fissure Gold company is among
these. A tunnel is now in about
30 feet and shows fine ore al! the
way, the vein being from two to
seven feet wide, of soft granular

naturally turn with anticipation to the
fresh growing green things that flourish
out OF doors or in cold frames at the
nearby sources of supply for this great
city. Freshly gathered watercresses and
dandelion salad are the first to be really
gathered out of doors, then the early let
tuces, upland cress. romaine. field lettuce
chickory, pepper grass and a number Of
others familiar and much sought after in
different localities, are always received
with an appreciative welcome. The salad
course has become SO great q feature in
the daily family menu that it is not wise
to overlook or attempt to sidetrack it, for
many people even prefer 1t to the dessert
course, doing without the latter to be
able to have 1t.
