OFFICERS SEARCH
FOR INSANE man
At WINNEMUCCA
HE Is SEEN BY BOYS AND HIS
CAMP FOUND, But MAN
ESCAPES

The following article is from the
Humboldt Star, published at Win
nemucca, Nevada.
Last Sunday afternoon Jesse See,
while looking for horses along the
cutoff which runs from the South
ern Pacific to the Western Pacific,
near the pesthouse, saw man take
off his pants and run against a
barbwire fence which runs along
the Southern Pacific track. The
fellow ran against the fence with
such force that he was hurled back
ward several feet. While Jesse See
saw the fellow take off his pants
and start to run, he concluded he
was crazy, and he stepped behind a
bush and watched him. The fell
low put his pants on and started to
wander around through the sage
brush, barefooted. About this time
young John See and some other
! boys came along in a wogon and
saw the fellow run against the fence
again. This time according to the
story told by the boys, he had taken
off all his clothes. When he was
hurled back by the wires he ran to
his camp, a little sagebrush shelter
he had made in the gulch, and
knelt as though in the act OF
prayer. Then he jumped up and
spun around like a top a few sec
onds, with hands outstretched, anC
he ran away through the brush
The boys hid behind the bushes
and watched him, One of then
started for town, telling the Others
to stay and watch until he returned
with an officer. But the boys die

MUCH MONEY
IS NOW OFFERED
FOR new Mines
NO NEW MINES HAVE BEEN
DISCOVERED IN THE LAST
FIVE YEARS.

The Newsletter published by
Thompson Towle & Co., New York,
states that there is plenty of money
for new mines: 1t says:
We recently pointed out the fact
that in five years no new copper
mines of moment have been dis
covered, although the mining inter
ests of the world are on the still
hunt for new properties. This takes
into consideration the various por-
phyry coppers for the reason that
these large deposits of disseminated
ore have been known to exist for
many years, but it has only been
within the last five years that these
low grade deposits have become
commercially profitable.
IN considering this subject the
last annual report of the United
States Mining, Smelling e Refining
company is worthy of note, as it is
therein stated that the exploration
department of that cmpany had
over 500 properties offered only 40
for examination, of which My 40
were worthy of consideration, and
final examination brought the num-
Der down to two, and these two
were not new properties, in fact,
both were well developed gold prop
critics.
The Mining and Scientific Press
of San Francisco, in a recent article
on the subject, says. Probably
more money is now available for in
vestment in mines than at any pre-
vious time in recent years, and
the mines are not being found 1t
is not easy to find even a good
prospect. Most of the rich ore
shoots that outcrop at the sur
face and pay from the grass roots
| down have all been staked. Great
portions of the world have been
thoroughly prospected so that the
Iprospectors must now go into coun-
try until now considered inaccessi-
lble, or else spend more in testing
each outcrop at depth.
| There are now a dozen or fifteen
rich mining syndicates who are pre-
pared to examine and purchase prop
critics, but no mines are now to be
found, and attention is of neces-
; sity being turned to properties al
ready in process of development.
