Nevada Douglas-Following is

Nevada d Douglas-Following is a
copy OF a letter from Superintendent
a. ]. Orem of the Nevada Douglas
under date of October 9. 1913:
"We are glad to report that gen
eral conditions at the Nevada Douglas
Copper Company's properties. at
Ludwig. continue TO be most encour-
agin, and that recent development
work is proving underground condi-
tons very favorable The last round
Of holes shot in the fact of the Lud-
wig eighth level broke irfo ore i'm
ming 10 per cent copper. This ore is
secondary chalcocite mixed with an
equal amount of native copper i'll a
sugar-quartz gangue This. is, think
one of the most hattcring results OF
any recent development work. 1t
means that the eighth level Is in he
zone of secondary enrichment: that
the primary ores have not yet been
encountered. and that from the 500 to
the 700 level we will have ore of the
same or about the character and rich
ness that we had on the 700 level.
| When you consider that these two
/ levels are separated by a distance OF
l35 feet on the dip of the vein or 100
feet vertically. the significance of find
ing conclusive evidence that this en-
, tire block will be in the rich secondary
ore encountered above will be appar-
ent The face is now a distance OF
s. feet from the objective point below
the $50 winze and some 800 feet from
the shaft As previously explained,
we will not attempt to run any cross
cuts or block out any ore encount-
cred on this level until connection
has been made with the $50 Wine and
good ventilation thereby secured.
On the lo0-foot level of the Casting
Copper this drift has advanced dur
ing the week. a distance of IS feet
with the face still in good ore AS
says taken during the week as the
work progressed gave copper values
running 4 per cent to 20 per cent.
This drift has been in ore since leav-
il the shaft or for a distance of Us
feet and average width of the ore is
50 feet A conservative estimate OF this
entire block as opened no at present
places the copper content at from 6
per cent to 8 per cent

started from the Iowa Raise toward :
the Orem Wine. This drift is q

CARELESS SHOOTING NEARLY
COSTS A LIFE.
Ranch Hand Peppered With Bird Shot
at Short Range.

ID Pardini. who is employed on the
ranch of Pete Dominica. few miles
south OF Ierington. came near losing
his life last Sunday at the hands of
some careless hunter Pardini was
walking along the ditch on the ranch
when from the other side of the ditch,
where there is thick underground
OF willows and sweet clover came the
discharge of a shotgun, and the shot
peppered Pardini from his knees to
his shoulders. He hallowed that he
was shot but no one answered; in
stead the shooter seemed to hurry off
TIN ough the brush. Pardini came to
Yerington Immediately and called DR..
Lcavitt, who extracted about a dozen
Nos shot from his flesh. some of them
having penetrated the flesh to depth
of one inch More shot was found in
Pardini's clothing and several in his
shoes. Every shot that penetrated the
skin carried with it small particle
of fabric from the clohing. but 1t Is
not thought that any OF the wounds
will prove serious The discharge OF
the gun was from distance. proba-
bly, of not over 25 or 30 yards. 1t
is supposed that the shooting was
simply a piece of carelessness on the
part of some hunter. as Pardini does
not know OF any one who would de
liberately shoot at him. However it
happened. Pard;ni had close call for,
had the shot struck him in the head
il would probably have killed him.
Whoever did he shooting has not been
apprehended and from his actions so
far will probably keep as quiet as pos
sible about the affair in the future.

RESUME OF MINING OPERATIONS

towards the Orem Wine. drift has
been started which will cut it on its
dip
Later news from the mine states
that development on the 800 level Of
the Ludwig is showing very rich ore.
really the richest ever produced i'll the
property In running the south drift
on this level last week the face went
into ore at distance of about 400 feet
south OF the shaft 1t was found soon
er than anticipated, as it was thought
they would have to run some distance
further and crOss-cut to point under
the winze coming down from the
seventh level This ore runs 90 per
cent copper. Cross-cuuting and drift
ing on the Casting Copper 350-foot
level is opening up the largest body
of ore ever found in this part OF prop
ertv Douglas Hill is looking better
than ever; the spot ore has been
cross-cut from tunnel No 2. the deep

Smith Valley Mine-President Ad-
ans. of the Smith Valley Mines Co,
has been spending a few days at the
mine 1t has been some six or seven
months since he has inspected the
property He speaks very highly of
the amount of work that has been
done and of the showing of ore that
has been opened The shaft has been
sunk to the 20O-foot level and cross
cutting is going ahead on this level.
The cross-cut has gone into the ore
for distance of Is feet to the west
and IS feet to the east. all i'll the same
character of ore In the west cross
cut a cross vein of ore was encount-
cred which has proved to be fully 9
feet in width and of an unusually high
grade material. in character regular
sugar quartz Drifting has been start
ed on this and the ore is being saked
for shipment The development on
the 100 is going ahead and showing
the body of ore to be large. in fact the
present hoisting facilities can not
handle the tnnage mined. Mr. Ad
ans leaves for San Francisco today
and his first business will be the pur-
chase of a compressor. and he expects
to have a hoist at the mine i'll very
few days
Auto trucks are hauling ore from
the mine to the railroad, and as soon
the machinery is installed the number
of trucks will be increased so that an
output of from POO to $50 tons a day
will be the regular production Things
will soon present very lively ap-
pearance at the mine-as town site

importance will on the map. The Chi
cago stockholders who recently Wis
tied the property were all more than
pleased and expressed themselves as
fully satisfied with their investment.
Blue Jay-Development work is
being carried on as usual on the POO
and 400 levels of this property. The
ore is pitching rapidly to the north
and east and these drifts will have to
be run some distance further than was
anticipated to pick up the ore as
shown on he 100 level The air pipe
line from the New Yerington is com
pleted and air is being delivered and
the drills are in full operation. which
is making progress easier and more
rapid.
Oil Indications-Quite a little ex-
citement is on over indications of oil
being found in the Buckskin section
Some OF the oil sand found was sent
to oil experts in California who pro-
nounced il identical with the Coalinga
sands The sand surely carries oil as
several small pools of oil have run
out of it onto the ground, but whether
it will prove TO be i'll commercial
quantities or not is undetermined
Many locat ons have been made and
some California oil men are on the
way here to inspect the proposition
and possibly put on drilling plant.

Formation Of Worlds.

There are two hypothesis in reference
to the condition Of the matter Of the
universe at the moment when science
begins it's discussion Of the formation
Of the worlds. Both these agree that
the matter was in a nebulous condition.
As Professor Young says: "This does
not assume that matter was created
in a nebulous condition. As the egg
may be taken as the starting point for
the life history of the animal, so the
nebula may be taken as the starting
point for the life history of the planet
airy slstem." On one theory the nebula
was in the form Of a heated gas; on
the other, it was a cloud Of cold me-
teoric dust. This latter many astrop-
omers think is more likely to be true.

would indicate that after gaining a resi-

in getting the divorce.
