Deceived BY the Title.

In the titles of books lie at times
pitfalls for the unwary. An almost
classic example was afforded by John
Ruskin when in 1851 he wrote a short
pamphlet on the text, There shall be
n fold and II shepherd" This.
which treated of the reunion OF the
Protestant churches, was published as
"Notes on the Construction OF Sheep
folds"-a title which. appealing rather
to the agricultural than L the clerical
mind, insured q brisk circulation
among farmers.

RUBY SILVER NINE PROSPERS

George w Abel, principal own

pany whose properties arc located
near Battle Mountain, was in Reno
yesterday waiting settlement on
five cars Of ore recently shipped
He reports mining in the vicinity
of Battle Mountain prog ressing &c
lively with good prospects for con-
tinued profitable operation.
The Ruby Silver Mining COM
pany's property is situated in Lewis
Canyon in a country which has
had rich mines in the old days even
when mining operations did not Sc.
cure all the values that are now
saved by better milling and reduc-
ton methods. The Betty O'Neil
mine is in the immediate vicinity
This property is credited with pro-
ducing in times past, over $1,000.
600 without working any of the
milling ore.
Mr. Abel is president and general
manager of the Ruby Silver and
owns the control of the company
stock. He reports that four cars
Of ore were shipped since July 2
which returned s42O2. They
we're rated respectively at sl23.58,
sl57.66, S39.45 and S67.25 per
ton. This ore was extracted dur
ing development work and the
work uncovered much more ore
which will be removed later.
Development Of the property is
being done by two cross-cut tun.
nels having as An objective poin,
the vein which was disclosed at the
surface. 1t is estimated the tun.
nels have $50 feet yet to go before
i%nterGecting the vein.
The upper tunnel after progress

ledge enclosing a rich ore shoot.
A Wine was sunk so feet and a
drift run out 80 feet from the
Wine bottom. The vein where

matter. The richer ore was found
occasionally in pockets and the
mass of it proved good milling ore
promising profitable quality with
extensive handling.
Assays from the WINE and drift
ran from $50 and to $3l7 per ton.
1t is the belief that the blind ledge
will be found to unite with the
main vein sought by the two tun.
nels. The company is fully equip.
ped for extensive and modern min.
ing operations. having air com.
pressors and all necessary tools.
Mr. Abel was not inclined to seek
publicity concerning the merits of
his property, contenting himself
with c~oorborating the above state.
ments and saying that he was
much pleased by the showing to
date. He says he believes the
Ruby Silver will prove in time one
OF the most profitable of the silver
mines Of northern Nevada.
AS to the general mining in that
section Mr. Abel said the Hilton
and m~arysvillc districts were active
and profitable as we'll as the placer
