CHIPMUNK SPRINGS
HAS FINE SHOWING

section of the big Yerington district
that is not much heard of lies about IS
miles southeast of Yerington, 8 miles
south of the Wheeler mine and about s
miles east of the old Latapie ranch OIL
the East Walker river, and is known as
Chipmunk Springs
1t is here that Shores, Knudson and
Burke, the latter a Reno man, have
There is fine showing on their ground
and they have done considerable work
They have a vein of ore with a northwest
and southwest trend, that is fully feet
in width. A horse cuts into the vein for
a width of about foot and half and
on the other side Of this horse is another
sprinkled and can be seen with the
naked eye This ore should mill at
least $50 per ton. A small lead, having
an east and west course, runs into the
big vein, and this also carries good
values. A run of 1850 pounds, recently
made in the Fisher mill in Sixmile Can
yon returned So.
To the north of this property Ben
Fisher has the extension of the lead
and on this ground there is ledge
cropping of width of 100 feet Sur
face samplings show this ledge to assay
from s. to SIS in gold per ton, with an
average of probably S. or SO per ton
The ledge also shows a content of about
two per cent copper. Fisher has Ak
63 foot tunnel in on this ground run
ming to cross-cut the vein. The tunnel
is now III distance of 2l5 feet He has
a car and track III for this distance, but
work is slow, as he has no assistance.
The tunnel will have to be about 400 feet
long to cut the big ledge, but at that
distance from the port al will give a
depth of nearly, if not 1000 feet The
ground needs no timbering so far, the
formation being granite and porphyry,
standing well and not being hard to
work
On the Shores property there is a
spring of water with a sufficient flow of
water TO feed 20-stamp mill, but the
true method of working these properties
would be to put an electric power plant
on the Fast Walker River, only seven
miles distant, generate power and trans
nit it to the mine and tram the ore to
the river to a reduction plant
This property is not new discovery
by any means. The big ledge has been
known to lie there for many yeors. If
it only carried 81 or S. ton in values
it could be made one of the biggest pay
ing propositions in the State, to say
nothing of the higher values that have
been shown to exist. Eventually this
property will attract the attention of
people who have sufficient capital to
work it the right way, and they will
amass a fortune.

AT TER MACHINERY
FOR KENNEDY CON.

Development work OH the Kennedy
Nohsolldated copper property, at Buck
SKIN, has been suspended for time.
The deep shaft on the mine has been
enlarged and tmbered to the water
level, and before any extensive work
can be done or depth attained machinery
Will have to be installed. 1t was the in
tention OF the parties who now have an
option on the mine to run branch
power line into the camp and use cleo
tricity for the pump and machinery to be
used on the property but Superintend-
ert Stacey is now in San Francisco ar
ranging for the purchase of a big pump
and steam plant. The fuel will be oil
which can now be shipped into the dis
trict as far as the new town of Ludwig
from whence the haul to Buckskin bv
wagon will be only about six miles
This new machinery is expected to ar
rive here very shortly, when active work
will again begin in the development of
the Kennedy Con.

WHERE COPPER
SUPPLY GOES TO

The following from the representative
of leading copper producing interest,
shows how the uses of that metal have
expanded during the past five years of
low prices;
Few people realize the great expansion
that has taken place in the uses of cop
per in the past four of FIVE years of low
prices. Where prior to 1906 the copper
used in the building trades was measured
in pounds, tons of sheet copper are now
used for cutters, leaders, roofs and win
dow frames, In the new office buildings
the amount of copper used is enormous.
Abroad, too, there has been cores
ponding expansion of the use of the
metal
Copper is being used as a substitute
for steel and sheet iron for sheathing
wood work, it is going more and more
extensively into wire netting, and of
course the expansion of the telegraph
and telephone systems which is practic-
ally all i'll copper wire, in these days,
accounts for an enormous total annually.
The sum total of the small things of
everyday use, and there are a thousand
and one now made from copper where
several years ago iron or wood was the
material, also makes very respectable
addition to the consumptive demand. 1t
is true that the low price of the metal
has been of first importance in bringing
about these substitutions of copper for
other materials, but once the demand
has been created it is my belief that a
substantial advance in prices might take
place without materially reducing this
new consumption.
Ordinarily about forty per cent of the
copper consumed in tins country goes
into sheet brass, about forty per cent
into wire, and the remaining twenty per
cent into castings, such as valves, etc,
sheet copper and general manufactures.
Although the electr6cation of railroads
and electric traction developments gem
orally, which made such heavy demands
on the copper market before the panic,
have not been much i'll evidence, the
big electrical companies are doing a
heavy business. The sheet and wire
companies, which are the direct con-
sumers of the raw material and whose
activities are therefore the best index
of conditions, are running full time, six
days a week, and this with capacity
greatly exceeding that during the boom
days before the panic.

OPTION GIVEN ON
PLACER GROUND

There are prospects that greater min
ing activity will soon be under way in
Gold Canyon, below Silver City, for
County Commissioner NJ j. King, of
Lyon county, has inst granted an option
to mining man named Dunlop and
associates, of Phoenix. Arizona, on
gravel ground owned by him located
east and south of Mr. Kings residence
in the canyon. Mr.. Dunlop's company
has been thoroughly sampliug the placer
ground referred to, and made an ex-
haustive test, with the result that the
option has been taken on the property
Mining machinery for this class of work
has been ordered in San Francisco BY
the parties referred to above, and will
include large steam shovel and other
equipment for handling large tonnage
daily 1t is the evident intention of the
company to carry on operations on a
large scale, and it is believed they will
meet with success. Mr.. King has worked
portions of this ground for many years,
and has been a good paying proposition

Lightning Kills Few

In 1906 lightning killed only l69 peo-
pie in this whole country. Ones chances
of death by lightning are less than two
in million. The chance of death from
liver, kidney or stomach trouble is vastly
greater, but not il Electric Bitters be
used, as Robert Madsen, of West Bur
lington, Ia, proved. -Four doctors gave
him up after four months of suffering
from virulent liver trouble and yellow
jauudice. He was then completely cured
by Electric BItters. They're the best

will Rexall "95" Hair Tonic To prove
that statement, we promise to promptly
return all the money YOU pay us for
Rexall "eS' Hair Tonic should it not

badness. 1t penetrates to the roots OF
the hair, stimulating and, by promoting
circulation, nourishiug them.
Rexall "95" Hair Tonic helps to re-
lieve scalp irritation to remove dandruii, +,
to prevent the hair from falling out, and
to promote an increased growth of hair.

factory at Fallon, and in a couple of
weeks from now the factory will start
10 grind the heets to a pulp and extract
the sugar, The crop is not large this
