BRADEN MILL READY
FOR WORK THIS MONTH
FIRST SECTION WILL SOON BE
IN ACTION AND TWO OTHERS
WILL FOLLOW BEFORE END
OF THE YEAR,

Letters received from the Brad
en- property in Chile state that work
on the new concentration is being
rushed, and that IL Is expected that
the first unit of the plant will be
put in operation this month. The
other two units of the concentra-
tor should be placed in commission
by early fall-one in September
and one in November. so that be-
fore the end of the year the prop
erty should be treating 5000 tons
per day. say Thompson, Towle &
Co.
The present is apparently a very
important time at Braden. for not
alone is the starting up of the new
conentrator the only event at the
property which is being watched
with interests, but at the mine, the
encountering Of the main ore body
in the No. 4 Fortuna tunnel is ex-
pected almost any time, while at
the No. 3h tunnel, which Is advanc-
Ing in the ore shoot. important de-
yelopments are taking place.
The developments In the No.
3b Fortune tunnel have added
materially TO the ore reserves. Ac-
cording to the estimate. which was
made In April the reserves were in
creased 5000, 900 tons. due prin-
cipally to this tunnels advance in
the ore shoot. 1t is important to
note that at the present time the No.
az tunnel Is but halfway through
the ore body, and that in all prob
ability a further large increase in
tonnage will be made by this de-
velopment.
The No. 4 Fortuna | sloeated at a
distance of $50 feet below the No.
tunnel. Owing to the great dis
lance between these workings. nee
the ore shoot is entered on the No.
4 tonnage should be developed
very rapidly.
The ore reserves at Braden, ac-
cording to the estimate made In
April. amounted to 1900, 600
tons assaying 81 per cent copper.
OF the 100000 which were
added, 100000 tons We're actual
and 1000. 600 probable. Although
no estimate of new tonnage has
been made since the April COM
putations, a report received states
that 1000 600 tons of the probable
ore has been changed into actual.

man has left the property, and will

GOOD REPORTS COMING
FROM GOLD CREEK CAMP
IN ADDITION TO NEW MILL RE-
GENTLY ERECTED COMES
WORD OF HIGH GRADE ORE
BEING DISCOVERED.

Word received this week from
the Gold Creek mines, seventy
miles north of where a new mill
has recently been installed, is to
trict is livelier than it has been
for years; that much prospecting is
being located. by incoming pros
pectors, with indications that a
great deal of development work
will be performed in various
parts this summer, and that by
fall a lively camp will, in all pro-
liability, be established around this
productive old-time placer diggings.
One of the newest things up
there is a vein which DR.. Sweeney OF
Eos Angeles has just discovered
on some new ground. The lode
has been opened up for some dis
lance, showing a width of one to
four feet, giving up values in gold
from $50 to $50, with some silver.
This is not far from the Gold Greek
Mining company's property where
the mill is being erected An
other lot of %prospectors sent in
samples which assayed 7.3 ounces
gold and 20 TO 80 ounces silver.
There are several active proper
ties in the district this summer,
with many prospeetors being de-
veloped in a small way. Among
the companies now working are the
Cornwall, the Coleman, the Col
onel LYMAN, Basco and Gold Greek
Mining.
The Gold Creek formation is
principally made up of granite rhyo-
lite, andesite and porphyry in
trusion. There are immense por-
phyry hills, showing heavy e~rosions.
But practically every yard of dirt
carries values from small amounts
up to many dollars. Besides the
permanent o~re-bearing assures, the
placer sands in the various old creek
beds are extensive and hold at
tractive values. The lodes show
fine quartz veins, very much re-
sembling Tonopah. There is the
same smutty liberalization, at times
carrying high gold values and
fairly well in silver.
Gold Greek is eighteen miles
south of Jarbidge. which has
settled down to permanency. 1t Is
considered by Salt Lake mining
men who have recently travelled
over the district. that the near
future will see active lode and
placer camps strung all the way
along this eighteen miles of highly
mineralized territory.
From Elko to Gold Creek an
automobile line has been es-
tablished to accommodate the fast
increasing travel. The distance is
covered in five hours. There is
ample water in the Gold Greek
hills. Good timber grows only
Ave miles away. The streams
abound in trout, and for a quiet
summer outing this place is said to
be ideal.

PECUL|AR|T|ES Of
THE PROSpECTOR
THEY ADD MUCH TO THE SUM
OF HUMAN HAPPINESS WITH
OUT MUCH MATERIAL PROFIT
TO THEMSELVES.

The p%rospeetor is a curious
specimen of the genus homo. His
~favorite range is usually the hills
of the desert country, where fuel
is scrace and water is scarcer, says
the Wonder Miner. Usually he Is
an unsocial animal, preferring to
roam in the company Of from two
to six small quadrupeds with great
ears and solemn countenances.
Occasionally they travel in pairs,
but are very seldom seen in droves.
Sometimes when news of the dis
covery of that which they are
seeking reaches in the mysterious
way news has of travelling across
the desert, great numbers of them
congregate at or near the point of
discovery, and then for a time their
actions are not easily understood
by one not acquainted with their
habits.
At any and all hours of the
day and night they disappear, and
begin roaming the hills. occasional
ly stopping long enough to pile
up rocks. With few exceptions
they are kind and docile, but
when pressed closely are likely to
become dangerous. While not in
the least bit timid, they seem to
have very little use for human
habitations, preferring the freedom
and solitude of the open coun-
try. They seldom have any per-
manent abode, but occasionally
make a protracted stay near the
banks of some mountain stream,
where they subsist largely on
mountain trout. sage hen and
grouse.
Sometimes they find bodies of
ore, but seldom make use of their
discoveries, preferring to exchange
them for a fraction of their value
in money, which they proceed to
dispose of with a facility that is
astonishing. For originality in find
ing ways of getting rid of the root
of evil they are unsurpassed, no
two of them apparently applying
the same method.
They are capable of withstand
ing great hardships and privations
and are SO constituted mentally
al to either forget unpleasant ex-
periences or to look upon them as
all in the days work. AS a rule,
though not teetotalers. they are
temperate. They do not work for
wages, and though now and then
one will accept employment, he
may be relied upon to quit his
job as soon as he has earned a
grubstake, or sooner If he gets
wind of a new discovery any
where within a thousand miles.
In the latter ease no indueement will
hold him. There seems to be a
microbe in his system waich i'm
pels him onward along the trails
and he is powerless to resist.
In their business dealings
they are much above the average
around a fire of evenings recount
ing experiences one frequently sur
passes Baron Munchausen in his
favorite pastime. In fact. the
tales that some of them tell IL they
could be transcribed, with ges-
lures, vernacular and stage setting
would make the reputation of the
scribe who set them down.
Though seldom seen in society,
they are useful members, for. like
scientific Investigators, they add to
the sum of human happiness and
comfort, usually without much ma
terial profit to themselves. The
end that comes to them is as vari-
able as their paths of life.

Played OUT, BUT
BIG PRODUCERS
MANY MINES PROVE THAT
SUCCESSFUL OPERATION Is
DIE TO PRACTICAL EN-
pERIENCE.

Finding ore, and getting it out
nro6tably afterward, are two sep-
arate things.
In the first, the tenderfoot as
often makes a rich find as does the
experienced miner or prospector:
not that the knowledge of the
miner is not useful, but rather that
the tenderfoot acknowledges that he
knows nothing about the game, and
therefore makes sure he tests every
thing in the line of rock that
comes in his way.
When 1t eomes to working the
property afterward. however, the
experienced miner has all the
advantage, inasmuch as he, profit
ing by his knowledge. will know
best how to proceed with the de-
yelopment.
The experience of the practical
miner has also led many times
TO the %reopening of old mines,
abandoned or about to be abandon
ed. AS an instance of this, may
be mentioned a find in the San
Juan section of Colorado, which
was made in the tunnel of an
abandoned property. Properties
declared TO be worked out have
been taken over and by persistant
prospecting new ore bodies have
been opened which have indefinite
ly prolonged the life OF such
properties.
Instances such as the last
mentioned are known in every min
ing camp which has passed its
first youth. A few of the best
known examples at Cripple Creek.
are mentioned in the following
from the Times:

SAGE OF
GLEN LILY.
Ex-Governor Simon Bolivar
Buckner Strong For The
Ticket.

The statement that Ex-Governor
Simon Bolivar Buckner was strong
for McCreary and the whole State
Ticket was good news to Democrats
everywhere. Kentucky has never
had better Governor or more
honorable man, and it is gratifying
to see him showing renewed interest
in the success of his party. While
it is not probable that Governor
Buckner will be able to make any
speeches. he will give other evidence
of mis- interest. and his commenda-
ton will win thousands Of votes for
the ticket.
1t is gratifying to see these old
leaders in the ranks once more. All
Of them realize that Democratic sue
cess in Kentucky this year will add
materially in the election of a Demo-
cratic President next year. These
accessions prove that the Republican
statements that the Democracy Of
Kentucky 10 divided into factions
are without q basis of truth. While
the party has been through a very
strenuous period, Democrats every
where have accepted the result. and
instead of flying at each others
threats, are unitejin their deternni-
nation to place Kentucky where it
belongs, in the list of Democratic
States.
Judge O'Rear has discovered that
Edward j. McDermott, candidate
for Lieutenant Governor. is one Of
the ablest. purest and best men in
Kentucky. To quote his exact lang
uage, he says: ED. is the classiest
one of the bunch" The truth is
that the entire Democratic Ticket is
the strongest and worthiest ever
D esented to the voters OF the State.
Hon. VIM. Addams. who contested
the nomination with Governor Me-
Creary, states in a Courier-Journal
interview that the Democratic ticket
will be elected by $1,000 majority.
Mr.. Adams took his defeat like the
good game loser that he is. aud is
now working vsliantly for the sue
cess of his party in November. The
significant feature of this Campaign
is the unselfishness of the Demo-
cratic leaders. Every man of them
is putting aside his personal ambi-
tions in a loyal effort to redeem the
State.

He didn't have a stylish wife
Who followed all Of fashions fads
With rats and hobble skirts and

She never beggared his accounts
BY running bills of large amounts
For willow plumes and four-foot

And fancy high-heeled shoes and

And evening gowns of texture fair.
She wore no jewels in her hair.
She ne'er had desire to skip
To Europe for a summer trip.
In social realms she didn't shine
And never had to stand in line
At swell receptions dressed to kill.
There was no unpaid modiste's bill
Though like all women every

She never su'ked about that fact,
But got along with wondrous tact,
The servants problem peeved her

She didn't even want to vote.
