about the same character as on the
sixth level.
A short cross-cut was also driven to
the vein on the second level and about
500 feet of drifting done, disclosing
two lenses of high grade ore, with its
concomitant milling ore.
Exploratory raises were also driven
from the third level. one of which dis
closed considerable milling ore.
Raises were driven on the ore dis
closed on the second and fourth levels
and all that ran over IS or 20 per cent
copper was mined and shipped.
There is no reason to doubt that
drifting on the fifth and sixth levels
will disclose as much and as good ore
as was opened up on the fourth level.
There are thousands of tons of low
grade ore remaining in both veins as
Slope filling and unbroken ore.
While the Summit Copper Co. has
as yet made no public statement, it
seems probable that it is not in pos
session of sufficient funds for the de-
velopment, extraction and treatment
of the low grade ore necessary to
profitable operation under existing
internal conditions and the present
price of copper. The tenor of the
notice posted at the mine seems to in
dictate that reorganization is being
attempted.-Globe Silver Belt.

grees E. and have a dip to the north
west varying from 20 to 10 degrees.
The ore occurs as lenses of nearly
pure chalcopyrite from an inch to
three feet wide associated with more
or less low grade material consisting
of crushed and broken schist and
secondary quartz and Irregularly dis
seminated chalcopyrite. Very little
oxidation has taken place, chalcopy-
rite being found in some places only a
few feet from the surface. Black
specular hematite is of frequent occur
renee.
The Gibson company opened the
Summit vein with three tunnels of to-
tai length of 27oo feet and two inclined
shafts, from one of which 5000 feet of
drifting was done on six levels.
The Pasquale vein was opened by
two shallow inclined shafts, a lOOO-foot
| tunnel and crosscut on the third level
from the shaft on the Summit vein.
Over 1000 feet of drifting was done on
the third level
A three-compartment vertical shaft
was sunk to a depth of 243 feet in the
hanging wall of the Pasquale vein for
the development of that vein at great
er depth.
The Summit Copper Co. took over
the property in June. 1910, and began
the development and exploration of
the Pasquale vein. They sank the
vertical shaft to depth of SO feet,
cross-cut to the Pasquale vein on the
fourth level and drifted about 800 feet
north and south, disclosing several
lenses of high grade ore and milling
ore of lower grade.
A cross-cut was driven TO the vein
on the sixth level and 30 feet of drift
ing was done, the vein looking better
and stronger than when first cut on
the fourth level. \ vertical raise
was driven to the vein from this cross
cut, to the elevation of the fifth level
and a % foot cross-cut from the top of
this raise showed the vein to be of

Some Features of Arizona Fair.

One of the features of the Phenix
Fair will be a Roman chariot race be-
tween E. J. Levengood of Pasadena
and Pomona, and DR.. Z. J. Sinard OF
Pueblo, Colorado.
Negotiations between the Fair CON-
mission, DR.. Sinard and Levengood,
which have been going forward for
some time, has been closed. Sinard
and Levengood are experts. Each has
Roman chariot and a team of six
blooded HORSES. The rivalry between
them is keen, and they will put up a
real race for the 10OOS offered by the
commission. II is expected that the
race will be in three heats, to be run
on different days of the fair.
Chariot races are always popular
features of state fairs. Levengood has
been a winner several times at the
Pasadena tournament of roses. He and
DR.. Sinard have appeared at numerous
Fairs throughout the west.
The Fair commission has closed a
contract with Dorothy DeNonda, who
claims to be the only woman balloon
ist who makes a parachute drop. She
ascends 1000 feet and makes the drop
from that height. She has engaged to
make an ascension and drop each af-
ternoon during The fair.

A FORMER NEVADAN

That Aviator Robert Fowler, who
is due to fly into Fallon Saturday or
Sunday next is no stranger in this
district, but has many intimate and
personal friends here, is a fact that
has been gievn little publicity in con
nection with his flight Fowler dur
ing the Fairview and Wonder boom,
ran an automobile out OF Fallon in
the rent service, and is known to pra-
ctically every experienced miner and
prospector OF that district. His de-
parture from Nevada was similar to
that of many who come and go in the
West. He left when the boom sub
sided, he was swallowed up in the
great world, and not until his name
was disclosed as contestant for the
$4,000 prize, was it even surmised
that he was in the aviation business.

INSPECTING LANDS

Z, H. Doyle, government insl eeter
of mineral lands under the railroad
grants, was in Lovelock the first OF
the week and, in company with J. I.
Reed, inspected and took samples
from the nitre deposits lying to the
east and south OF Humboldt Sink. 1t
is the purpose of the government to
get thoroughly acquainted with the
character of every legal subdivision of
land for which the railroad applies
for patent to, and know that it does
not contain mineral of any kind in
extent sufficient to make it valuable
for mining. By this means it is
hoped to avoid repetition OF the
costly Olinghouse litigation.-Love-

A SUICIDE
USES SHOTGUN TO
END EXISTENCE
Well Known In This County where
he Published a Newspaper
For Many Years

George NJ. Smith, a former resi-.
dent OF this county, and for many
years publisher of the Courier be-
fore its consolidation with the
Record, committed suicide at Reno
Wednesday afternoon by blowing
the side of his head away with a
charg. of shot. The weapon used
was a double barreled shot gun.
Smith made careful plans 10
carry out his suicide and it was
evident that the act was long pre-
meditated, by note left by Smith.
Mrs. Hans Nelson, whose hush
and was Smiths partner in a
chicken ranch, found the body in
a shed near the house and i'm
mediately notified the officers.
The shotgun bad been clamped in

vation. The vice was on the work
bench and about two feet from the
muzzel of the weapon, Smiths
head was resting against mark
on the bench that had been placed
there after Smith had mapped out
the plan of suicide.
Two notes were LIFT by Smith
and were evidently written just
before he suicided. They had been
placed on the bench and were held
in place 10y pair Of sp' ctacles.
One read:

A BIG POTATO CROP

The Mason Valley potato crop
promises to break all records at the
coming harvest. Contrary to the us
ual situation, there has been no dam
aging frosts in the fore part of Sep
tember, and as the danger line is now
passed, it is certain that the crop Will
fully mature. A large harvest OF
spuds means thousands OF dollars to
the Mason Valley ranchers.
