Iron Trade Review

Cleveland, O., May 10.-(Speclal. .)-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Continued activity in the bond market and promises of officials of western rai- roads have caused steel makers to feel more encouraged in regard to the rail- road situation. Some roads which stated their years requirements of rails were
 filled have begun negotiations for addi- tional tonnages The Seaboard Air Line rail order was finally closed for 152o0 tons. And the distribution will be Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company, 75Oo tons: the Bethlehem Steel company, 4oO0 tons: Maryland Steel company, 37o0 tons. The Illinois Steel company this week took 7OoO tons of rails, including 4000 feet Chi- cago, Indianapolis and Louisville, and 12oo feet Benton Harbor and St. Joseph Rail- way and Light company.
 The Carnegie Steel company has sold to the Lehigh Valley 15o0 tons of Ferro IT. tanium open hearth rails. The Seaboard Air Line has placed an order for 10 pas
 senger locomotives with the American | Locomotive Works. The Chicago and Northwestern Is in the market for 85OO
 tons from the Pennsylvania Steel com

 furnish the plates and shapes needed for
 the construction of 12O0 cars for the Sea-
 board Air Line and the 200 to be built | for the Pittsburg and Lake Erie.
 l It is now expected that work will pro- ceed on the battleship New York, which

CARDINAL GIBBONS HIGHLY HONORED

New York, May 10-In the manner ob- served at Rome, six pages in uniform, bearing lighted torches met his eminence, Cardinal Gibbons at the doors of the Cath ollie club here tonight and escorted the distinguished American prelate to the throne in the grand ball room, where he was welcomed by a large gathering of prominent Catholics. The occasion was the golden jubilee of the prelates ordina- ton to the priesthood and the silver jubi- lee of his elevation to the cardinalate.
 A coat of arms carved in bass wood, five feet by four feet, and set in gold frame, was presented to the cardinal by priests of the Paulist community. The shield was designed by William Laurel Harris of the Paulist fathers and Is said to be the first of it's kind attempted by an American. It is an elaborate repro duction of the design recently adopted by the cardinal as a prince of the church.
 Archbishop Farley, supreme court Jus tice Victor J. Bowling and Frank s. Gan non, president of the club, delivered well coming addresses.
 NO citizen should be drone in the social beehive Cardinal Gibbons said in his response. No man among you should be an indifferent supporter of the moral, political and economic ques- tions which affect the welfare Of the commonwealth. As you are all protect ed in your life and property by the strong arm of the government, so should you be united in upholding the hands of those charged with the administra- tion of the commonwealth.
 Thank God" the Cardinal continued, i've live in a country where there Is liberty without the toleration of license and authority without the toleration of despotism. and where the government holds over us the aegis of it's protec- ton without interfering with the indi- vidual right of conscience"
 The remarkable growth of the Cath oiic church in America was outlined by Justice Bowling. In 1908 the churcl, had but two bishops and C9 priests, he said, while today there are IS archbish ops. 97 bishops, 17.0S4 priests, 13,S61 churches and a membership of 15,0O0s' 900. ,I r

REPORTS OF GOOD CHEER.

There is more mining going at the pres
emf time III the eastern and northern part of
the state than there has been for years past
is the general verdict of the camp papers and
of individuals familiar with recent developments
in Nevada.
A survey of that portion of the state reveals
a large amount of work being carried on with
important results being secured An instance
showing the eagerness with which the work is
being pursued is reported from the camp of
National, which is famed for the unusual rich
ness OF much OF the ores being mined. Desiring
to know as quickly as possible the possible value
of big dump at one of the National mir.
lessee in question sent ton sample, by express
to Denver for mill test
More work is now being carried on in this
camp than ever before; new leases have recently
been granted, and new development work put
under way The fact that the United States
Geological survey will make survey of the
camp this summer is but another indication
the important place which it is assuming in the
mining history of the state.
Winnemucca, older camp near by has
also sent out reports of good finds and of active
work under way. Sensational strikes have been
reported, some unusual finds apparently being
almost half good The Adamson-Turner proper
ty at this point is attracting the most atten-
ton, through the rich discoveries which have
been made
inning man recently making a trip
through Elko county says developments of much
interest are taking place in the Gold Creek see
ton, which lies about eight miles north of the
town of Elko. Another section where strikes
OF Importance have been made is the east slope
of the Humboldt range, some twenty miles TO
the west of Wnnemucca
Adjoining Elko county to the south lies
White Pine county, where is situated one of the
greatest copper camps opened The Nevada
Consolidated Copper company now holds the
record for the profitable extraction of values
from very low grade ore, and further improve
mentS reports say, may even further reduce the
cost
Considerable work is going forward at other
camps IN White Pine county, and the prospects
for the year are looking very bright
This, in fact is the verdict with regard TO
mining in the state of Nevada as a whole
Prospectors are going out this summer stronger
than for two or three years past, and further
discoveries of merit may be looked for within
the next few weeks
What with the revival of the old camps
the opening of old properties and the new dis
coveries being made, Nevada should have AZ
excellent record to present at the end of the
year

COMMUNICATIONS.

The Bonanza is in receipt of a
communication from Key Pittman,
and prints the same in its entirety
Round Mountain, New,
June 80, 1911.
Mr. W W. Booth, Editor of Tono-
pah Bonanza, Tonopah, Nev
Dear Sir In the issue Of your
paper of the 9TH ult., you discuss,
editorially. and in your news col
umns, the controversy between
Gregg and Wilson relatives to Ger
tain lands near Round Mountain.
! presume YOU got your informa-
ton from Gregg and Wilson, for
you never sought my side of the
controversy In reporting the con
tempt proceedings you failed to
state that | asked the court to
make the punishment as light as
possible, and you failed to state
that | voluntarily agreed to let
Gregg and Wilson go on the land
to survey it and to measure any
hay cut on land claimed by Gregg
This permission was not extended
to Wilson because Wilson admitted
there is no hay on the land claim
ed by him
There is very little hay on the
land claimed by Gregg, and such
as has been raised is due to three
months of constant and careful ir-
rigation by my representatives.
Without this irrigation no hay
would have grown on the land
claimed by Gregg | did not enioin
Gregg and Wilson from living where
they have lived since last November
and where they are now living;
namely, in a sod house a mile
away from the land claimed by
| Gregg
81 had them arrested because
they turned horses into the enclos-
ure which enclCses the Crowell
ranch. Gregg never had even a
tent on the land claimed by him
until about three weeks ago. and
| he has never resided in the tent
since he put it up. If you desire
simply to present both sides of this
controversy as news to your patrons
you will publish this letter, but if
you are actuated solely by malice
against me by reason of our per
sonal difference, I neither ask nor
expect anything from your paper
yours truly.

REPLY TO P1TTMAN's COMMUNICATION.

In this issue of the Bonanza is printed
communication from Key Pittman in regard to
the Round Mountain land case, III which Mr..
Pittman had two settlers thrown in jail for
tempt of injunction. The said injunction was
issued to refrain Gregg and Wilson from occu-
plying land which they claimed as homseteads.
and which Mr.. Pittman had filed on under the
desert land act The Bonanza is open to
muncatiOns from all parties and is not small
enough to allow any personal differences to
interfere with the publication of Mr.. Pttman's
side of the ease, as that gentleman suggests
might be
This paper took up the fight for Gregg and
Wilson because it believes that their homestead
entries the only legal ones. From alleged
sources we learn that if the land in dispute
taken up under the desert land act as it
is alleged Mr.. Key Pittman took it up. that
perjury has been committed. One of the oaths
by parties taking up land under the desert land
act is that it will not grow grasses of CONNER
cal value, and yet Mr.. Pittman in court agrees
to cut the grasses the land in dispute and
stack it separately until the ownership of this
land is settled.
Mr. Pittman s explanation that there would
be no hay on this land if he had not watered
it is very. very weak. Native grasses would not
be there this year it the seed from the native
o. ass or the roots had not been there in past
years. There settlers in the valley who will
swear that hay has been cut from this land
many years ago and many different seasons
The Bonanza believes that Mr.. Pttman had
no right to take this land up under the desert
land act. and if he did so and is guilty of hav-
ing perjured himself in swearing to the character
of this land, that his position and influence
should not disbar him from being prosecuted
to the full extent of the law
The parties contending for the ownership
OF this land against Mr. Key Pttman are poor
men, but the Bonanza does not intend that they
shall be railroaded' and asks the land office
to look into this case carefully and see whether
Mr.. Pittman has sworn to the character of the
land correctly

sMUGGLER MINE AT ASPEN.

The Smuggler mine as Aspen Colorado, did
an unusual thing last year when deep-sea
diver was secured from the coast to 90 down
in the shaft and start the submerged pumps on
the twelfth level of the mine This work was
successfully accomplished and today the prop
erty has been cleared of water which incident
ally, means the draining Of neighboring prop
critics. The company was put to heavy expense
IN dewaterng these properties and in recon-
pense has required certain conditions from the
owners Of adjoining properties
majority of the owners have complied with
these conditions, and it is believed that the re
naming contracts will be signed up within
short time. With the properties cleared of
water by the Smuggler company, work on the
adjoining properties be carried on through
the Smuggler workings, and with good reason
to expect that favorable results will follow.
There is large amount Of low-grade milling
ore IN these properties which can thus be made
available prolongng the life of the camp. the
prediction is made, by many years New bodies
OF ore as well are expected to be uncovered as
work progresses
