NATIONAL AGAIN
IN THE L|ME[|CnT

Bringing news of an important gold
strike at National, and backing it up
with samples from the Buckskin group
glistening with the precious metal and
worth $4,000 a ton, p. w. Campbell,
wellknown operator and miner, was
In from northern Nevada yesterday, a
guest at the Cullen, says the Herald
Republican.
"I fully believe that National is to
have the next big mining boom in Ne
vada,'' declared Mr.. Campbell, "and I
base this opinion on the extremely
rich ore the camp has produced in the
past, and the fact that a lot of deep
work is now in progress and the rich
ore zone has been proven over a mile
on its northsouth strike.'
The Duckskin National ground is on
the side of the mountain over a mile
to the southeast OF the National Mines
workings. State Senator John Bell
controls the property. The strike was
made in a 160-foot incline shaft which
is following the vein. The rich ore in
the narrow streak samples from &c.
900 to $4,000 a ton. Two feet of it
assayed from $50 up to 5000 a ton.
1t is similar to the National Mines
ore in every way. These narrow
streaks contained almost pure gold
silver, which at times would open out
into sufficiently large bunches to ad-
NIT of single miner in an eight-hour
shift taking out as much as $4,000.
The finding of rich float on the Buck
skin hill determined the owners to

the vein.
At the National Mines the ore is re-
ported to be running well on the low
er level, the 500. The main vein is
said to be running pretty regularly
around three and one-half feet in
width. The values are better dissem-
mated than at first. The mill has a
capacity of about thirty tons for ordi-
nary ore. When the rich stuff Is sent
through only small tonnage Is han

The plant has been started up again
after having been idle for some time.
lid Montezuma.
Mr.. Campbell and associates have
secured a bond and lease on the old
Montezuma mine over near the center
of Humboldt county. It's ores were
put through one of the oldest lead
ss;lver smelters, at Oreana. ever built
in the west. The product was hauled
to the coast and shipped to Swansea,
Wales. There we're two smelters
there in the early days. One glory
hole on the Montezuma, 60 by 200 feet
and 65 feet deep, produced sl,250,000,
according to reports.
The lessees propose to open up this
old glory hole to greater depth. In
one place nine feet of low-grade ore
is showing now leading out from the
old workings. The rich ore makes on
the contact between the lime and
quartzite, similar to the Park City
formation where big rich deposits of
similar ore are found in the soluble
limestone. The indications are that
considerable ore Is right at hand in
the old mine which can be readily
and cheaply reached by sinking and
drifting.

TOMORROW Will
Be TRIPLE HOLIDAY

Tomorrow will be triple holiday.
AS Admission Day" it will be a
legal holiday in the state of Nevada,
and in the Church it is "All Souls
Day. while it will also commemorate
the marking of the Lincoln highway
across the continent.
The banks, postoffice and courthouse
will be closed tomorrow, as well as
the public schools, which, however,
have been closed for the entire week,
to permit the teachers to attend the
Third District Institute, in session at
Lovelock.
Nevada was admitted to the Union
by proclamation of President Lincoln
on the thirty-frst day of October,
1864. Not enough attention has been
paid to this historical event by the
people of the state, and it is time that
the anniversary should be commemor-
ated in fitting manner. No more i'm
pressive lesson can be drawn than
from the events leading to the recogni-
tion of Nevada, whose nomenclature
of the Battleborn State' is one of
the highest compliments that could be
paid to a patriotic body of men on the
outskirts of the nation. Up to this
time Nevada had been a shuttleeock
between two contending factions, and
for years it had been a mooted point
whether the territory would recognize
the government at Richmond or the
government at Washington. The most
acrimonious feuds occurred over the
contentious and arguments of followers
of the Union and Confederate causes.
Lincoln wanted two additional SEN
ators from Nevada to establish the
security of his administration, which
also needed the substantial aid of the
millions that the Comstock was pour
ing out. The federals wanted the hard
money to re-establish the vitiated
currency and to obtain the wherewith-
al TO pay soldiers in the field. Green
backs had deprecated until they could
not be sold on a basis of 30 cents on a
dollar. Munitions of war called for
some better token than promises to
pay, and the procurement of supplies
for the armies in the field and for the
conduct of the government demanded
a bullion backing Credit had been
exhausted and the admission of Ne
vada was an absolute war necessity.

saved the nation from possible disso-
luton, and this fact should be indeli-
bly, stamped on the minds of every
school child and every good citizen.
The first recognition of Nevada as a
separate political subdivision occurred
when James w. Nye, of Madison eoun-
ty, New York, was commissioned gov
ernor of the newly-created territory
Of Nevada on the twenty-second of
March, 1861. In July Of that year
Governor Nye issued his first proela-
nation, declaring the territory or
ganized. The area embraced the coun-
ties as they stood under the laws of
Utah, but on November 25, 1861, the
territory was segregated into nine
counties, among which the old names
OF ST. Mary's and Carson found no
place. Then the legal shadows of Utah
passed away and a distince autonomy
was established.

RAILROAD NEEDED TO
YUKON VALLEY, ALASKA

The estimated value of the gold pro-
duced in the Alaska portion of the
Yukon basin in 1912, was $s,645,O00,
compared with $9,050,000 in 1911.
This decrease is due to the falling off
of the output from the Fairbanks and
Hot Springs districts, for the other
Yukon camps either held their own or
somewhat increased their output com
pared with the preceding year.
The Fairbanks district continues to
be the largest producer of placer gold
in the Yukon country. 1t can not
maintain this position long, however,
without radical change in mining
conditions which will make it possible
to exploit profitably its extensive
bodies of low-grade plaeers. But little
hrs been accomplished in this direc-
tion, and the best hope of the future
lies in obtaining direct railway con-
nection with tidewater.

PENNSYLVANIA HAS
LARGE COAL MINES

The anual report on coal, compiled
by Edward w. Parker, of the United
States Geological Survey, shows the
concentration of the anthracite coal
industry into relatively few strong
units or companies. Nearly so per
cent of the anthracite mines were pro-
ducers of more than 100000 short tons
of coal each, and go per cent of the
mines produced over 100000 tons each
The total production of these large
mines-those producing over 100000
tons-was 97.3 per cent of the entire
anthracite output. Only OIL per cent
of the anthroeIte produced came from
mines yielding less than 10000 tons.
The number of bituminous mines pro-
ducing over 10000 tons was 677, and
their total output 22l,017,125 tons, or
40 per cent of the total bituminous
production, the average for each mine
being $780, ,465 tons.
While 62 per cent of the anthracite
mines each produced more than 100000
tons of coal, aggregating SO per cent
of the total production, only IL per
cent of the bituminous mines produced
each more than 100000 tons. but this
l2 per cent produced approximately
one-half of the total bituminous out
put.

round UP BUNCH
L.W.W.'SAT SPARKS

Nineteen Industrial Workers of the
World were taken into custody at
Sparks yesterday afternoon by a force
of men under Sheriff Burke and Chief
of Police Devine when they alighted
from a freight car of which they took
possession at Inlay Tuesday night.
The men may be held at Sparks or
sent to Oakland, their destination.
Most of them are from Idaho, says
the Gazette.
1t appears that the men, part Of
whom are foreigners and some Ameri-
cans, refused to leave the freight car,
which was a portion of an extra west
bound freight train. The conductor
wired to Southern Pacific Headquarters
at Sparks for instructions and was
told to bring the men into Sparks and
stop the train at the crossing Just out
side the railroad yards.
Said to Have Been Armed.
The conductors telegram to the
railroad officials said that some of
the men were armed and indicated
that they were in an ugly and belig
erent mood. The presence of an arm
ed force, however, served to dampen
their ardor and they were taken into
custody without any trouble. Two of
them started to run and were halted
by shots fired in the air.
Sheriff Burke went to Sparks about
IL O'Clock, and after investigating
the affair decided that deputy sheriffs
might be needed. He conferred with
Chief of Police Devine and it was de-
cided to assemble a score of deputies
at the point agreed on for stopping the
train. Sheriff Burke returned to Reno
and swore in mis- deputies and Chief
Devine appointed Sparks men to assist
him.
Previous Trouble in State.
Industrial Workers of the World
first caused trouble in Nevada in 1906.
Their first entry into the state and
serious interference with industrial
conditions occurred at that time. This
was the only real l. w. w. strike in
the state, but it was serious, causing
numerous tieups of mining properties
through the strike.
The L. w. WIS were at Goldfeld un-
der the leadership of Vincent st.
John, who had figured in the bull pen
riots in Colorado. He made a special
ty of agitations among workingmen
and got large following before the
difficulty was checked.
In Goldfield the l. w. w. tried to
get minimum wage for every occu-
patton, regardless of the sort of occu-
pations. They even tried to unionize
the dance hall girls. Smith and Pres
ton both l. W. w. men, served time
in the penitentiary for killing the res

IOgnize the /. w. w.

EXPOSITION COM.
M|TTEE SELECTS SITE

Filled with enthusiasm over the
possibilities to be offered Nevada
through the medium of the Panama.
Pacific exposition in 1915 and satisfied
with the locations and space chosen
for Nevada, Governor Oddie and Geo.
T. Mills, the latter exposition COM
missioners for Nevada, have returned
from San Francisco, where they spent
a week arranging preliminary matters
in connection with the Nevada ex-
hibit, saws the Gazette.
According to the governor and Sen
ator Mills, Nevada has Jared better
than most of the states and as well
as any in the matter of choice of loea-
tions and space accorded for exhibi-
tion purposes. Five thousand feet of
space was secured in the mining build
ing; 5000 feet in the agricultural
building and an application was filed
for space in the building that will
house the stock and pure food exhibits.
The commissioners met the heads of
all departments, were accorded the
best treatment and shown every
courtesy. The Nevada locations are
choice, being right along the water
front and adjoining some of the finest
buildings that will be constructed.
Plans for the Nevada buildings will
be drawn at once, according to Com
missioner Mills. and construction work
will be started as soon as possible af-
ter the plans are accepted and con-
tracts let. The work is to be done by
Nevada labor.
work Well Advanced.
Work on the exposition grounds and
buildings is proceeding rapidly, ac-
cording to the commissioners. The
machinery building will be finished in
about 30 days and will house some of
the largest machinery In the world.
The concessions all have been sold,
some of them bringing fabulous
prices. As an example Senator Mills
cited the. sale of the privilege to dis
pense peanuts on the exposition
grounds. It was disposed of for more
than 100000.
The Nevada commissioners beat the
Kansas commissioners out by a neck
for the choice of locations, the Kansas
representatives arriving AT san Fran
cisco the day after the Nevadans made
their appearance. Kansas and many
other states are clamoring for more
space and better loeatiers and the
commissioners say that there is no
doubt that everv available inch of
space will be reserved.
Lieutenant Governor Ross and At
torney-General Thatcher, who are
members of the commission, did not
accompany Governor Oddie and Sen
ator Mills on the return trip. They
will be back in the week,
