STRIKE OF RICH HIM-
GRADE AT CAMP TOBlN

Jack Kirwin and Alex Hall are in
town today from Camp Tobin. In the
early part of the season the two gen.
tlemen located four claims in the camp
which promises to develop into one OF
the greatest mines in the state of Ne
vada.
From ledge that runs through the
property, at the bottom of shallow
shaft, sample taken across 20 inches
assayed $1l6 in gold. A tunnel was
then started from the bottom Of the
hill which will cut the ledge at ver-
tical depth of ITO feet. They are now
in GIG feet, with 1875 feet further to go
before striking the ledge.
An amusing incident occurred at the
camp few days ago. An alleged ex-
pert, who came out to inspect the
property, after casually looking over
the ground, solemnly pronounced the
pay-streak too small. 1t is more like
" that his funds were too small to pur-
chase the prospect.
Messrs Kirwin and Hall will return
to camp tomorrow with load of sup
plies.

EASY GRADE FOR
new RAILROAD

Chief Engineer Sheldon and crew
are making rapid progress on the pre-
llminary survey for the Winnemucca
Northern railroad. Toulouse will be
reached tonight, and tomorrow the
base of operations will be transferred
to Paradise hill. From this point the
crew will work back to Toulouse.
From Winnemucca to Paradise hill
the grade amounts to very little, being
only one-tenth of one per cent. By
making 12-mile swing from Willow
Point it is expected that the hill will
be overcome by grade of practical
ly one per cent.
s. J. Willis, Reno engine r. arrived
this morning and left for Toulouse,
where he will join the crew in the ca
pacity Of level man.
j. j. Shields, of San Francisco, will
be here Sunday. Mr. Shields will have
charge of construction and right-of
way for the Winnemucca Northern.

ORS IN SESSION

A special dispatch from Boise, Ida
no, to the Reno Journal, lated July 20,
says: Governor Tasker l.. Oddie, Of
Nevada, is among the sixteen COVER
nors who have announced their inten-
tion to be in Boise August 1st, to at
tend the first annual convention of the
Western Governors association. May
or Hodges has set apart August as
a public holiday in a proclamation is
sued for that purpose The city will
be gaily decorated with flags and
bunting and when the myriad electric
lights are turned on at night the town
will be set for royal picture. The
principal subjects to be taken up at
the convention will be the various
phases Of the public land questions in
which the west is interested; good
roads, the convict and a few other
questions that will receive more or
less attention The meeting will last
three days and will be followed by
trip over the state of Idaho in a spec
ial train provided for the purpose by
the Boise Commercial club.
The states that will be represented
are Nevada, California, Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyom.
ing, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Ari-
zona, Nebraska, Oklahoma, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Minnesota and
Kansas.
Governor Oddie will speak on CEN
tertaining the Exposition Visitor on
His Journey Through the West" and
already much interest has been mani
Tested in his subject. That the gath
ering will be watched closely by many
people is indicated by the great in
terest taken by various commercial
clubs and chambers of commerce
throughout the entire west.
1t is probable that the real dis
cussion will center around the land
question and that there will be
wide divergence Of opinion. The gov
ernors will be entertained during their
stay in the the capital of Idaho. Gov
ernOr Hawley will start the several
features with dinner at the execu-
tive mansion, and every evening after
that will be filed with social events.
Already Governor West has started
across Oregon on horseback and ar
rangements have been made to have
Governor Hawley meet him at the
state line, whence the two governors
will ride together in a spectacular
manner into Boise. At Nyssa. on the
border of idaho, Governor West will
be furnished with a new horse Two
prancing, dancing, fiery steeds are
now being groomed for the event, and
when the governors meet on the
Snake river they will ride into Boise
on their caparisoned chargers like
Crusaders of old. 1t has been arrang-
ed to have the governors stop at the
front porch of the Owyhee hotel,
where they will dismount from their
foam-flecked steeds with much pomp
and gusto. As the roads are very
dusty it is rumored that an invitation
will ensue to have the executives visit

REEVES @. KS HILL, But
WHO STANDS FOR REEVES +?

Since Col Reeves was hit by the
steam roller at Reno several days ago,
the impression had become general
throughout the state that he was a
"dead one.' However that may be,
the old, original Bull Mooser came to
life for a sufficient length of time to
break into the local organ of the De-
mocracy yesterday with the following
certificate of character for his satel-
lite Hill:
81 notice in the issue of the Silver
State some criticism of the seating of
E. B. Hill, of Winnemucca, as a dele
gate to the Progressive convention
from Humboldt county. l made the
motion which seated Mr.. Hill and be-
fore 1 made the motion 1 inquired
among men and people with whom Mr..
Hill was acquainted as to his reputa-
tion as citizen and was informed that
no indictments had ever been found
against f. b. Hill; that at no time was
he ever accused of perjury. murder or
robbery or any other act that would
tend to affect his moral standing as a
citizen, but was informed, on the con-
trary, that he was good, honest and
favorably known citizen throughout
Humboldt county. Had found any
convictions of perjury, treason or rob-
berry against Mr.. Hill 1 could not have
made that motion, but finding his repu-
tation such that he could speak with
purity and from manhood, l made the
motion and feel now that criticisms
should come only from those who are
the equal to or above, in moral stand

PIUTEs IN rALLoN
NEED THE INDIAN POLICE

This paper has repeatedly called at
tention to the menace presented by the
nearby Piute village to the good health
of this community, says the Churchill
County Standard. Indians suffering
from tracoma, the dreaded eye disease,
intermingle freely with the town q
population, while still others of the
dissolute class, chiefly squaws, find no
trouble in plying their nasty vocations
on the back streets and alleys of the
town. Whisky is traded and trafficked
in with often times ill results for in
nocent and well meaning Indians. The
condition complained of would seem to
present an excellent illustration of the
delinquency of the national govern
ment, whose proper function it is to
care for these Indians.
The blind and crippled members of
the contingent east of town, not being
able to work, find their way to town
and are fed in the rear of the restau-
rants of the town. Some of these In
dians present pitiable and repugnant
sights. One buck in particular, feels
his way in and out of town with a
stick, horrible object and one that
presents a constant menace with his
diseased optics and horrible filth.
There are many cases of poverty in
the Indian camp that would seem to
demand some sort of action on the part
of the proper authorities, and the In
dian bureau should be importuned to
take immediate action. On the other
hand, the matter of allowing promis-
cuous loafng of the blind and disso-
lutte around the streets of Fallon would
seem to be a condition rightly within
the province of the city officials for
correction.
Probably Indian police would be as
effective here as in Lovelock where
two uniformed aborigines serve admir-
ably to keep down the vices SO appar-
ent here.

VICTIM OF KNIFE IN
CRITICAL CONDITION

As the result of drunken row in the
redlight district Tuesday evening,
Frank F. Eggleston, in charge Of the
material department of the Southern
Pacific, with headquarters at Ogden.
is today lying in an Ogden hospital,
with slight chance of recovery.
1t is stated that Eggleston inter
fered in some trouble that Lee Wilson
was having with a woman in one Of
the resorts, and followed the latter out
into the street. In the alteration
which followed, it is alleged that Will
son stabbed Eggleston in the abdomen
with the short blade of an ordinary
pocket knife.
Eggleston was taken to the county
temporary relief, while wilson was TAX
en- into custody. Yesterday morning
the wounded man expressed desire to
be sent to Ogden, where it is said he
has family, and he was placed aboard
No. 8 yesterday afternoon.
During the forenoon Judge Dunn
made out complaint against Wilson
for the offense, but when he took it to
the hospital for Eggleston's signature,
the latter refused to sign it, stating
that he would not attempt to send a
man to the penitentiary for having
mixed up in a fight. Judge Dunn made
no attempt to secure an ante-mortem
statement, for the reason that at the
time Eggleston had no idea that he
would die, and for that reason it
would have been worthless as evidence.
This morning a wire was received
from Ogden, stating that Eggleston
had been operated on and that his con-
dition was critical.

EXPERIMENTS WITH
THE MAGIC WAND

Until recently every geologist and
civil engineer smiled at the supersti-
ton with which former centuries treat
ed the magic wand as sure means
of finding water or minerals deposited
underground. It seems, however, as
though change was setting in. The
reason is to be found in the undeniable
practical results achieved by some Ger
man noblemen who tried their luck
with the magic wand in South Africa.
1t has been officially stated that during
the last few years S3 per cent of all ex-
periments with the magic wand proved
successful, in as far as water was actu-
ally found on the indicated spots. In
many cases the supply was soon ex-
hausted; but in more than one-half OF
all tested cases the ground water de-
tected by the magic wand was perma-
nently sufficient for the breeding
farms established on the spot.
These experiments have been sys-
tematically continued in northern Ger
many. The believers in the powers of
the magic wand offered to find layers
of kali as well as water. The expert
ments have been surprising thus
far. On purpose the experiments were
made in districts where borings had al
ready taken place, the results of which
being still kept secret by the mining
authorities. The result was that the
spot of the layers and their axis could
be located by means of the magic
wand, as a comparison with the secret
maps proved. In consequence, the
Prussian government has given orders
to continue these experiments and an
association has been formed for
throwing light ON the magic wand
problem" Already three installments

OWNERS OF HIGH-0ADE
MINE IN NO NEED OF MONEY

The term. "high- grade ore,' means
that the ore in question is above the
average in value, and therefore, that
it would pay big to mine and market
when material of lower grade could
not be handled to so good an advant-
age. High grade ore should be as
good as 'money in the bank for it
can be drawn upon at any time and
under almost any condition. In fact,
a large body of high grade should be
better and safer to own than money in
the bank for it's volume will remain
undiminished if not drawn upon, while
the bank might fail, or be robbed.
Such being the case, if anyone should
tell us that he had thousands of tons
of high-grade ore blocked and in sight
in his mine workings, we would consid-
or that he was rich man, and that
all he had to do, when he needed lit
tie ready cash, was to mine and ship a
few tons of his ore.
And yet we often hear OF men who
have thousands of tons of high grade
blocked out in their mine workings
who are always trying to enlist capital
for the purpose of taking it out; OF
mining companies who have 'millions
in rich ore" in their holdings who are
trying to sell treasury stock, for
mere pittance, so that this ore may be
mined and sent to the market.
Ia this story is told to you, pay no
attention to it, fos it is myth. II
you see the same statement made in a
flaring advertisement, do not take
the bait, and do not buy any of the
stock. You might as well kiss your
money goodbye, for you will never see
it again. In either case it is a fake.
If any man or any mining company has
thousands of tons of high grade ore
blocked out and in sight and ready for
shipment, even if the man or the com
pany has not penny, assistance can
readily be secured in the mining OF
marketing of the ore. For, If it can
be shown that the statement is true
the leading merchant of the camp near
which the mine is located will advance
enough money to mine and freight the
ore to the nearest shipping point, and
the smelters will do the rest. All
kinds Of assistance can be secured fol
the handling of large tonnage OF
high grade ore, and the owner or own
ers of the mine will not find it neces
sary to hawk about for financial as
sistance, nor will any mining company
possessed of such bonanza be obliged
to dispose Of treasury stock at ridicu
lously low figures in order to realize
on the fortune in sight in the mine
workings. The investor is dull, in
deed, who even listens to the "high
grade" story And, if he bites at the
bait, it only shows that suckers are
still as plentiful as ever.
With the case Of low grade ores, the
situation is different. 1t takes big
money to handle large bodies of min
eral Of this character. And it is not
always that financial assistance can bt
obtained for the handling Of propc
sition Of this character; neither caz

help always be readily secured in the
development of a promising prospect.
In either case it is perfectly ieglti-
mate to appeal to capital for aid, to
ask for assistance to place the ore on
producing and payino basis, or to
sell treasury stock for the development
and equipment of the other. But,
