CAMP OF nIGH-G GRADE
NOT A CRIPPLE CREEK

The Hoag mining district is not
second Cripple Creek according to
a statement issued by the United
States Geological Survey. which says:
During the past week items have
been extensively circulated through
the press that the Geological Survey
claims to have made second Cripple
Creek gold find in the Hoag mining
district, Modoc county, Cal. AS
matter of fact geological examination
of a number of small mining camps in
Nevada and California was recently
ordered, but since the survey is now
made to appear as an involuntary ac-
cessory to newspaper boom,the work
of the geologists in this mining dis
trict has been indefinitely postponed.
"Uuder the present conditions, for
which the survey is in no wise re-
sponsible, work in that region would
probably serve only to afford an ex-
cuse for further Misrepresentation" +"

NEW STEAMER WILL
BE TWO SHIPS IN ONE

The actual value of the inner she'll
with which the White Star company
proposes to equip the new liner Gigan-
tic is not likely to be demonstrated by
any such disaster as overlook the
Titanic, although to guard against the
consequences of iceberg collision is the
ostensible purpose of the alteration in
plans. The changing of the steamship
lanes in the ice season, the multiplied
tion of lookouts and an enforced re-
auetion of speed in thick weather and
dangerous neighborhoods will almost
eliminate the risk of collision with
hergs; and for any other kind of col
lision which does not involve the rip
ping away of large section of the un-
derbody, the ordinary wateright bulk,

N|BBLES AT LOCAL
POLITICAL BAIT

During the past few days there has
been few nibbles at the local politi-
cal bait. While there have been no
positive announcements by candidates,
in addition to those already named, it
now looks as though there would be a
number between this and the fifteenth
of September.
1t is rum0red that matters political
are beginning to warm up in the
southern end of the county, and that
the Democratic candidates for state
senator and short-te term commissioner
will not be allowed to walk off with
the grapes without struggln. 1t is
also stated that candidates for both
positions have been agreed upon, and
that their announcements will be made
in due time.
For the office of state senator, the
name of Peter Anker has been persis-
tently mentioned. That gentleman
spent today in Winnemucca, but when
asked if he contemplated stepping
OUT winked the other eye and said
that remained to be seen. Mr.. Anker
is well known throughout the county,
having held several responsible official
positions, and would make a hard race
for the senate, or for anv other Office
to which he may aspire, for that mat
ter
Although as astute a politician as
Frank Reber, editor of the National
Miner, states that there will be no op-
position to the present incumbent of
the sheriff's Office, matters are shap-
ing up in a manner that indicates that
there will be considerable of for
midable character. 1t is possible that
there will be one candidate from Love
lock, although there is strong pressure
being brought to bear on the tenta-
tive candidate to run for short-term
commissioner. In Winnemucca there
are two strong Democrats feeling the
public pulse, with chances in favor of
at least one Of them coming out. 1t is
reported that there is also one of the
strongest Republicans in the north
end of the county who believes he
could attend to the duties of the Office
in manner satisfactory to the tax
payers

NEVADA SUPERIOR
NOW A SHIPPER

Next week the first consignment of
concentrates will be received on the
Utah market from the trial run of the
new 15-ton mill which the Nevada
Superior Mining company has just had
installed on its large domain in Hum
boldt county according to General
Manager John w. Geiger, who has re-
turned from Nevada. At present only
cue eight-hour shift is operating and
the mill is handling thirty tons a day,
putting approximately five tons into
one. Assays of the product of the mill
show that it carries from $40 to $50
a ton. The first lot will amount to
thirty five to forty tons, or about ST.
600 for the car.
Mr.. Geiger reports that the mill is
limbering up in satisfactory manner,
but contemplated improvements will
add much to its present efficiency
Two Wilfly tables have just been in
stalled and some new machinery will
be put in at once. There is sufficient
milling ore knocked down and in sight
to keep the mill going for months.
At the Antelope, near by, the con-
tractors are running No. tunnel,
which parallels three upper tunnels
each above the other This lower adit
will tap the ore bodies prospected
above 400 to 500 feet on their dip
The adit is now in 325 feet, and the
400 feet yet to run will give it a
length of 725 feet. 1t will crosscut
two ore bodies opened in the upper
levels. Just as Mr.. Gieger was get
ting ready to leave for Salt Lake he
received word from one of the CON
tractors that he had cut into north
south fssure. The work had not pro-
crossed sufficiently to ascertain wheth-
er or not an ore shoot made at that
point. Mr.. Geiger is of the opinion
that this is a fssure which para .els
some of those which have been opened
in the adjoining Superior ground
The Comet company is working a
force of five men and is taking out
considerable coarse gold from the
sluieing system. Enough gold is being
recovered to meet all expenses, is the
report. A plant with a 500-ton daily
capacity is planned for the future; in
fact the machinery has been ordered.
Mr.. Geiger says that the leasers
around Sulphur continue to take out
the high grade stuff and to haul it
to the railroad. The kind of boys that
Mike McKenna and pards are is
shown in the character of the ore they
ship. 1t averages from $3.50 to $400
a ton. A small shipment of this
character of rock brings as much as
the ordinary 50-ton consignment of
ore.-Herald Republican.

GOLD STRIKE NEAR
|NSK|P CANYON

T. J. Ryan, the well-known mining
man, was in town yesterday from the
new strike, in the first canyon south of
Inskip and IA miles south of Mill
City, and reports the showing one of
the best he has ever seen. The origi-
nal discovery was made by Jack Bish-
op, former superintendent of the
Black Hole mine, on the 18th instant,
an on the 18th a 2-inch streak was en-
countered on the footwall of the two
foot ledge that assays 800 per ton
in gold. Average samples taken from
the width of the ledge gives assays of
$40 and $15. The ore is identical to
that in the Black Hole mine at Dun
Glen.
The strike was first reported at
Lovelock, and resulted in a great mum

THE ENGLISH SPARROW
PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY

For long time after the arrival of
the English sparrow in the United
States the pugnacious little bird stuck
to the cities. His presence there and
the absence of swallows and martins,
and other native birds except robins,
gave rise to the complaint that he had
driven out the native birds; but it is
doubtful if this was generally ture.
The native birds had deserted the
larger cities before the sparrows came.
This is demonstrated by records of the
period The files of Appleton s Maga-
zine may be cited to prove that prior
to the advent of the English sparrow
the native birds had quit the city of
Brooklyn, permitting insect pests to
multiply in the shade trees to such an
extent that pedestrians were annoyed
by the crawling things which dropped
down upon their heads from the
branches as they took their evening
walks. The sparrows found the food
problem solved for them in the bird
deserted cities, and they increased and
multiplied at a tremendous rate. They
spread from one city to another. To-
day there are few American cities
without a large population of spar
rows, which unlike the generality OF
the small birds familiar in the north
ern portion of the United States,
brave the seventies of the winter and
never attempt migratory expeditions
to regions of warmer winters and
clearer skies.
But now the sparrow problem is de-
veloping a new phase. The little birds
continue to grow more numerous.
They have overflowed the cities and
are spreading into the rural regions.
One thing that tends to drive the
sparrows out of the cities is the oiling
of the roads. Your sparrow is no
queasy epicure, but he has his food
standards, as important from his
standpoint as those of DIR. Wiley. He
draws the line at tar and crude miner
al oil. They give bad taste to his
rations. In many rural regions the
oiling of roads has become fashionable
since the rise of automobihng. The
result is that the sparrow is coming to
be nuisance in country regi ms where
heretofore he has been unknown.
From the duck farmers of Long ISL
and there has arisen a wall that in
.uhator raised chickens and ducklings,
with no mothers to defend their inter-
osts, are subjected to robbery of their
food by the little English invaders.
What will be the outcome of the ne z
situation is not yet ear.--Evening

THE LABOR SITUATION
IN THE UNITED STATES

A little while ago we told of the
paucity of help in such producing lines
as coke, iron and steel, textile, and,
of course on the farm also. But now
comes another industry, lumber cut
ting and mill working, with a similar
plant. The lumber trade papers init
mate that scarcity of LABOR may cause
reduction in the cut of lumber, and
the mills are also affected. This branch
Cf trade has been experiencing a
sharp revival in demand, and in some
instances night work is deemed essen
tial to keep abreast of requirements.
But labor is scare all over the coun-
try, stocks are light and with slight
prospects of outputs increasing enough
TO cover demands, prices will likely
strengthen. Reduced immigration to
this country can be held responsible
fer much of the shortages of which
complaints are made, and heavy losses
from emigration also enter as factors.
But the immigration would probably
be large enough provided the respect
i've units We're properly distributed.
Thus, s3s,l72 immigrant aliens came
into the country during the twelve
months ending June 80, 1912, but of
this number 239 ,2S5 were destined for
New York, l09.479 for Pennsylvania
and 67,lls for Illinois
But it must be allowed that smart
advance in trade following a compara-
lively lean period makes the short sup
ply of labor seems conspicuous. Other
countries are drawing on our supplies,
and during the quiet spell we expe-
rienced, following October, 1907, many
aliens departed for their native places
in order to evade the high prces pre-
valent. here. Whatever the cause,
there is shortage of industrial as
well as domestic help, which fact has
led one of the metropolitan papers to
suggest that negroes might proftably
be employed on a larger scale as do
nestle servants. While speaking of
the negro, it is worth noting that a
study of the recent census by DR.. T.
J. Jones of the bureau of education
indicates that 40 per cent of all the
agricultural workers in the south are
negroes, numbering approximately two
and one-third million men. OF these
100000 are farmers, 21s,O00 of whom
own their own farms. They own and
cultivate 15,S02,579 acres. which they
have acquired in less than fifty years
according to the census, while the ne
gro population has added to itself lO
per cent. White men s farms have in
creased but l per. cent, while the
white population grew "a per cent
