FIND PURE COPPER
INNEVADA DOUGLAS

The first of this week there was
encountered in the Nevada-D Douglas
property, on the 600-foot level, TIE
greatest deposit of native copper SO
far opened up in the district, says
the Yerington Times 1t is really
sensational development, the ore
being nearly pure metal and so
compact that it is almost impossible
to drill it. Great chunks of SO
per cent pure copper, weighing
from a few pounds up to quarter
of ton are being taken out.
At present it is not known how
extensive this body is, but they are
in it for seven feet with a drift
and the metal is on both sides of
them and iii the face. When it
is understood that the mine has
produced and still is producing ore
of this character, but not quite as
high grade, on the level above, it
is not hard for anyone to figure
out what an extensive proposition
this new strike is.

Eleven years ago yesterday,
Christmas Day, December 25, 1900,

ed the conclusion that a republican
form of government by China was
apparently inevitable.
Information from reliable

revolutionaries in China continue
to insist firmly on a republic and
that the peace negotiations now
proceeding at Shanghai will result
in rupture unless the imperial
authorities in Peking should yield
to their demands in this respect. 2
Most of the powers apparently
are reconciled to the inevitable ten

in China, much less of imposing
any form of government on that
