Everest Farm Renter Teaches Local
Bankers Many New Things.

Everest. Kan. Aug. AS a result
OF the manipulations of Jim Dougher-
", tenant on the Nels Reece farm,
four miles south of Everest, the two
Everest banks today are holding a 3d.,
600 sack from which they proba bly,
VIII be able to realize about ten cents.
About four years ago Dougherty
rode into Everest. a covered wagon
and team of well worr horses were
his only assets. The children and
meek looking little wife sat in the
rear of the wagon. Everest received
the strangers and soon Dougherty ar
ranged to lease the Nels Reece farm.
Everest stores and the Everest banks
gave Dougherty credit ard he went to
work.
Business Picks Up.
The first two years proved fairly
satisfactory But last year he got be
hind with the rent When spring
same he still owed $3.50 but the own
er thought the account would be set
tied before fall Then Dougherty be-
gan to put into execution his plans
for high financing his credit and
fleecing his creditors. He bought
more than a thousand dollars worth
Of farm implements on the install
ment plan. His wife yearned for a
piano and piano she got. The barn
was large enough for five more horses
and they We're bought-on credit. Two
wagons and sundry other farm neces-
sites and luXuries were added to the
DOugherty possessions, put none were
paid for.
One day not long ago Dougherty
went to Everest. He told the cashier
of one of the banks that he needed
money. Z loan was arranged for,
Dougherty giving a mortgage on this
years crop. He went O the other
bank and gave a blanket mortgage on
all his farm imDlen entS horses and
other equipment. The first of last
week he again went to the first bank
and mortgaged his household goods
and the piano. In all he secured
about $4,000 and then last Thursday
the Dougherty family quietly disap
peared from the community
No one ever knew where the Dough-
ertys came from=but the Everest
banks are more anxious to know
where they have gone

TOMBSTONE MEN FIND
ANCIENT AZTEC MINE

Tombstone. Ariz., Aug August
cellar and Thomas Lowdon have return
ed to Tombstone from prospecting tour
in Santa Cruz county, having made
an important find near the Cochise
county line Of what appears to be a
mine worked by the Aztecs or first
native settlers of Arizona
The mine Is a huge excavation in
the mountain side with three tunnels
run at different angles. each over so
feet long. An exploration of the crude
workings indicated that much of the
drifts and openings have caved in and
doubtless a large colony of ancient
miners was employed in the operation
Of delving for gold.
Some crude implements were found
the Identity of which is not known as
yet. In one Of the tunnels were evil
dences of blasting" by the crude lime
process. and samples of the ledge mat
ter and ore brought to town show
good gold bearing rock.
1t is the intention of the owners TO
return to the discovery and make ex-
tensive exploration of their find fol-
lowing the lead which the sagacity Of
the early 1ocators first opined to be
doubtlessly developed into bonanza
hundreds of years later.

CHLORIDE FLAT is
RESUMING ACTIVITY

From recent developments 1t appears
that Chloride Fiat, near Silver Ctty
Grant county, n. NJ, will resume it's
old time mining activity. Negotiations
are now in progress. which If COM
pleted as expected. will result In a
renewal OF at least two of the Oldest
and best properties In -the district, on
more extensive scale than ever be-
fore.
Located in the center of the flat is
the once famous Bremen mine which
gave Silver City it's first boom. Henry
NJ Flagler, the Standard on million
aire. is the owner OF another in close
proximity. c. Amory, a New York mill
lionaire. is also interested in the To-
cality. In the southern end of the flat
the Savanna Copper company has a
number of claims. The Savanna COM
pany owner of the smelter and the
narrow gage railroad that traverses
the flat. will commence systematic
prospecting Of its claims In the near
future.
The Bohemian company recently
ceased operations on its property on
account of having given an option up
on IL, and 1T is expected a sale will
follow. One of the Stephens claims Is
being operated at present, and ship
ments to the Ell Paso smelter are made
regularly. The last shipment made a
few days ago consisted Of four cars.
Chloride Flat still possesses great
possibilities, and if consolidate OF
interests is taking place as reported
more sensational strikes may be ex-
pected in the near future.

ACTIVITY is MARKED IN
THE CHESTERFIELD CAN'T.

News from the Chesterfield camp,
located in Pima county, southern Ari-
zona, and south Of Tucson. is that SUI
perintendent Pike is sinking new
shaft on the Esperanto mine following
the ore on the incline. The Esperanto
Is horse power engine is being put on
a cement foundation and will soon be
in shape to crowd the work.
The Cole Bullion in the same camp
is working a good force with continued
satisfactory results. ex-governor
Hughes says the drift in the tellu-
rum vein produced ore, according to
the last assays made this week run
ming $3.50 IN gold and $3.50 in silver

The Old Glory or Bartlett mine is
having so tons of lumber freighted out
from Junction Station for the old mill
which is beeing put in repair for the
treatment of ore
An important strike has been made
in the Montana OF lead, silver and

TO INCREASE THE
SHIPMENTS GREATLY
Average of Three Cars of
Ore Daily May Be Sent
TO Ell PaSo.

Tombstone, Ariz., Aug. Accord
ing to reliable lnforation in Tombstone,
ore shipments to the Ell Paso smelt-
ers will be carried on more extern
siveIy from now on than at any other
time In many years. and preparations
are now under way for the execution
of the plan. AT the present time there
are about a dozen ore cars now on the
siding near the big loading platform
having been brought in yesterday.
From what can be ascertained at
this time, on an average of from three
to four cars will be shipped daily,
thereby increasing the present tonnage
about two-thirds. The ore contem-
plated for shipment is of low grade,
and has accumulated since the shutting
down of the mill and concentrating
plant of the T. c. NJ. company, where
it was reduced TO concentrates and
shipped to the smelters for treatment
With the increased tonnage from the
various properties Of Tombstone Con-
solidated now under lease, together
with the shipments made from the
Hershal mine. the Rattlesnake prop
erty and several other Independent
mines. the district will make quite a
showing in shipments

Since the recent rains in the Brad

been shipped to the bank that aggre-
gated a value of over $1,000. The con-
centrates were consigned to R. H

It is now believed that with the abund-
ant Ter supply available this COM
pany is entering upon it's greatest pro-
duction era. and its plant will be run
to the full capacity. enough milling

ore is being sacked that runs from
five TO 10 kilos silver. No ore is be-
ing shipped at present as all efforts
are being directed toward opening
up the level where the strike was en-
countered. A winze has been sunk
in the ore shute and the values are
steadily increasing with depth. The
last samples assayed from two to three
kilos for the full width of the vein.
AS yet the full width of the vein
IS unknown as it is becoming larger
as depth Is gained. Manager Arm
strong expects to begin shipping about
the first of September to the sme1t-
ers.
The water situation was feared as
the vein was being approached and the
pumps were kept in readiness to pump
large volumes Of it. but a pleasant
sunrise was in store as the fourth
level (400 feet went dry and at the
present level of the vein, 500 feet,
only 400 to 500 gallons per minute
rules. The pumps are equipped to
handle 1900 gallons per minute il nee

FINCH IS GETTING GOOD
ORE FROM STANDISH NINE

Jim Finch. the well known mining
man has during the past month been
at work on the Standish, silver mine
near Lake Valley, Grant county, New
Mexico, which he has owned for p
years. He is taking out some good
shipping ore. This property is in a dis
trict where millions have been taken
out during the last 90 years, and one
company is now shipping one car of
rich ore daily
Twenty years ago Finch took from
the Standish mine, the ore now being
worked, 2200 ounces of silver in 20
shifts At that time silver was worth
81 an ounce. The ore on this claim is
found in pockets and when encoun-
tered is invariably rich. The rock is
very hard, and it is the intention Of
Mr.. Finch to install compressor drills
just as soon as he can make the neces-
sary arrangements to secure the ma
chinery.
