from Nebraska. Invited to put up our
horses and stay over for dinner, and
a dinner that was enjoyed not only on
account of the generous appetite Gre
ated by the exhilarating drive, but
also because of the clean linen, the
well-prepared dishes of roast fowl, po-
tatoes, cabbage, and delightful des-
.sert. some Of the history of the settle
ment was learned. The host and
hostess were modest in describing
their own achievements, and equally
modest as to those of their friends,
but enough was learned to satisfy US
that they had come there about three
years ago, in moderate, almost poor,
circumstances. Most of them had re-
ceived their homesteads as gift from
the government. and by careful dill
gence had purchased and paid for ad-
Joining land. They had plenty Of cat
tie and horses, some sheep and hogs,
and large wellkept gardens, showing
an abundance Of potatoes and cabbage
and other vegetables. Their buildings
were good. Schools were in the neigh
borhood and there was evidence of
comfort everywhere.

COPPER CURB HAS
VISION OF LAWSUIT


The following Is taken from q late
issue Of the Copper Curb and Mining
Outlook:
by the time this issue Of the Out

have been put through gigantic
merger Of Phoebe properties known
as the Day-Bristoi Consolidated MIN
Ing Co. This company will control
the rich and famous Day mine of the
Nevada Utah, the Hillside property
and the very rich Bristol property.
Control OF the company Will be
beld by the Nevada Utah. which, while
disappointed In the temporary fall
ure Of the Amalgamated Phoebe. has
been quietly putting through a mer-
ger OF even larger proportions. One
OF the plans In the merger will be-
to drive tunnel through the mount
ain from the Day mine into the
rich ores Of the Bristol Con-. get

at a depth of 1000 feet.

company that suit will Immediately
be brought against the Godbe inter.
ests representing the Prince Con. and
Ohio Kentucky companies for damag.
es in violation Of their contract In
the Amalgamated Phoebe merger. to
The extent CT close to $1,000, 900. The
Nevada Utah is confident CT winning
this suit as the Godbe interests de
liberalely violated signed contracts
made with the Nevada Utah and has
'welohed' on the big merger. We un.
dcrstand that 1t Is the intention OF
the NevadaUtah to force the Godbes
to live up to their contracts, besides
paying the heavy damages involved.
The control Of the Day Bristol Con
solidated Mining Co.. by the Nevada
Utah means the placing Of q very
great intrinsic value behind Nevada
Utah stock, as not only is the Day
mine producing l25 tons of ore daily.
but work will Immediately begin In
extending the tunnel into the Bris.
tol property. SO that the rich ores
known to exist In the Bristol will
, be available within short time.

erties are considered to be the most
important properties in the Phoebe
district, and with 80 great an In
trinsic value placed behind Nevada
Utah, and with the prospects Of Inn.

stock should appreciate very materi

NEVADA GAINS IN
METAL PRODUCTION

According to the report of the
United States Geological survey on
the Mineral Resources Of the United
States" Nevadas metal production
has increased go per cent
The production of gold, silver cop
per. lead and zinc from Nevada for
1909, was s3O.O72, 1892. an increase Of
$11 ,2J4,704 over the corresponding val
ues in 1908. The gold yield furnished.
nearly $5,0o0,000 of the total increase
and the copper yield nearly $500, 600.
Lead and zinc also showed increas-
es. The following are the 1909 figures
for Nevada:
Gold in 1909, $16,239,963 as agains,
s4,877O22 FIR 1908; silver, S571,i52,
as against $670, ,666; copper, $7,536,9 ,942
as against $5,477,9J2; lead, $423, ,154
as against $11S,S3S; zinc, $162,721 as
against $110,276.
In comparing Nevada's output with
that of Arizona and Colorado. foI
the same metals and the same
year, Nevada's percentage Of increase
is many times in excess of that o.
her sister states. The report may b.
obtained upon application to the di
rector OF the survey at Washington.

any question of doubt that both

WHAT NATURE INTENDED
That nature never intended that
these mines should be operated sep

ing the obstacles of attitudes, alb.
sence of water and the like, more

about other properties In the imme.

dumps and slopes on the underground

upon the completion of the Bristol

a source of large revenue to the Bris

is only about 500 1T. deep on an In
cline of 45 degrees. The proposed tun

this shaft 500 or 900 feet. In plac-
cs, the tunnel will be close to 20o0
feet below the surface; a depth of
1900 feet will be gained in the Hill

1t Is difficult to comprehend the
magnitude of the Bristol-Day, or meas

l.. Scherzinger, general manager. The
recent Bristol-Day merger has in-fus-
ed new life into the company and an
active campaign, both as to the dis
position CT treasury stock and the
working of the property has already
been outlined

and 35-ft winze which starts from

ltaching Of the ore has occur
ed and a cave filled with carboniz.

pany will continue to sink this winze
until the bottom of the cave Is en-
countered and where there Is every
reason to believe a body CT copper
ore will be- uncovered. The excavation
made by the winze is now by 30 IT
While the company expects tt
