INDIANS REFUSE CHECKS.

Many Indian families in eastern
Oklahoma, although in destitute cir
cumstances refuse to accept checks
for $136 per capita, which may be
had for the asking at the Indian
agency. The Indians are full-blood-
ed Cherokees who believe that an
injustice was done them by the gov
eminent when land was allotted by
the Dawes commission, and their
hunting grounds were restricted.
Three years ago the government
awarded to each Indian 1888 as his
share in the fund which had aecumu-
lated because of the removal of the
Cherokees from Georgia to Okla
homa. Many of the Indians vowed
never to accept the money and 40
checks have never been called for.

Future Plans.

Twelve leases have been let on his
own claims and eight on the prop
erty of the company, all of which are
either working at the present time or
are preparing for immediate work.
He plans as president of the COM
pany, the erection of a mill as soon
as a deep tunnel on the vein at depth
will determine the character of the
mill needed. The installation of a
power plant on the railroad where
oil fuel can be obtained is also
among the plans, and the develop
ment of a sufficient water supply to
furnish the camps of upper and lower
Rochester.
In his treatment of ~leasers and
men who have come to invest capital
in the camp, Joe Nenzel has won uni
versal liking and respeer. lie has
dealt freely and fairly with all, giving
those first at hand the first chance
as he deemed them worthy mining
men and the sort of operators he
wanted on his property. There has
been a noticeable lack of that secret
dealing under cover of which the UNI
scrupulous successfully work the
double cross" and so far the wild
cater Is unknown.
Nenzel has worked hard to bring
about the eonsummation of his de-
sires and his long patient wait has So
far been crowned with success. He
is the father of Rochester, its found
er and its presiding genius and be-
yond question, the biggest man in the
camp.

Heirs Take Interest.

final custodian of the deposit that

Heirs Take Interest.
With the death of Stevens, a host
of heirs sprang up, for by that time
1t was believed among them that
there was something of value in
these claims that Nenzel had so quiet
" pursued through the years. He re-
located them them on January /,
1909, having associated with him at
that time, Sam Stevens and Peter.
Stevens, the last representing the
heirs.
From this point Joe Nenzel is the
central figure in the destiny of Ro-
chester amp He alone carried the
conviction that he held a remarkable
deposit, and the patient foresight of
the mar is no better illustrated than
by his careful manipulation of the
situation throughout the following
years.
He knew that development would
be impossible with some forty heirs
elamoring for recognition, and to call
the attention of the world to the pos
sibilities of the district would only
be inviting litigation and delay. Be-
sides he had devoted years of time
and much money to the proposition
and wanted the fruits of the invest
ment.
He therefore set about a quiet
gathering in of the various conflict
ing interests and succeeded in settling
with all but one. Early last year this
remaining contender was induced to
sell his interests and the title was
finally merged in Nenzel with all
clouds removed and the way finally
cleared for opening the property and
the calling in of capital.
This settlement cost Nezel $4,000
which he has already paid, and he
must still pay $4,000 more-con-
crete evidence of his faith in the val
ues and future of the claims on Mem
eel Peak.

The Money Situation.

The Money SITUATION.
Preparations have been made in
all the great financial centers of the
world for a furry in money at the
year end. Consequently, no furry oe-
CURED, and money throughout the
world has been in fair supply during
the first week of the new year when
an unusual strain upon credit had
been expected.
The outlook abroad, however, is
highly complex, and the situation has
been further involved by the ruptuer
in the Peace conference.
In New York money has ranged
from 5 to 2 Y per cent since the first
or the year.
that money would be higher this
week than last.
The money situation in the United
States at the present time is a pecu-
liar one. If business slows down as
the special session of congress APP
proaches, as we may well expect it to
do, money should pile up in the
banks. On the other hand, a large
amount of railroad and other cor
poration financing must be done be-
tween now and the middle of the
year, so that there will u%nquestion-
ably be a demand for all the money
available for such purposes.
The Business Situation.
Business in some lines has been
gradually easing up since the middle
of December. The volume has not
yet been eurtailed to any marked ex-
tent except in a few lines. That 1t
must decline during the mex month
or six weeks to an appreciate ex-
tent in lines that are particularly af-
fected by tariff is unquestionably a
fair conclusion.
Manufacturers are inclined at the
present time to shorten sale. I'M
porters too are beginning to curtail
their orders in foreign markets. Mer-
chants must, of course, prepare for
a change in prices by clearing their
shelves of goods which may be
bought cheaper later in the year.
The Stock Market Situation.
Preparations had evidently been
been made for a January rise" in
the stock market, but the supreme
court decision Monday in the Union
Pacific case, together with the break
in the Peace conference In London,
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1913-01-19

turned prices backward Monday af-
ternoon and started heavy selling
again in the leading stocks. This
selling also disclosed what had been
suspected; namely. that the buying
orders in the New York market ORR
ginated largely on the floor of the
stock exchanges. As soon as stocks
were thrown on the market, there
were no commission house buying
orders underneath and prices declin-
ed rapidly in Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific, Reading and Amalgamated.
The public is not in the market on
the long side now any more than it
was six months ago. Very little of
the money received by investors in
dividends the first of the year has
gone in o the stock market. The
powers .ehind the market thought it
possible that some of this money
could be attracted by an advance in
the leading issues, but this seems
doubtful in view of the fact that the
advance was checked Monday and Ii
quotation started again. That this is
a bear market, there is no use in de-
nying. Rallies may be looked for,
but the tendency is downward.
Curb Market Leaders.
Smokey Development has sprung
into prominece in the last few days
owing to the fact that successful fl
nancing has been accomplished which
will enable the men behind the prop
erty to go ahead and develop.
Special Mention.
The bond market is dead. Short
term notes bearing higher interest
rates than bonds have made it very
difficult for some time to market
bonds except at declining prices.
Certain listed bonds on the Boston
stock exchange have within ten days
sold at the lowest prices for years.
The inability TO market bonds bear
ing anything like the old rates of in
will force railroads and other
corporations, which undertake financ-
ing this spring. to put out short term
notes bearing interest rates as high
at least as that paid by the New
York, New Haven e Hartford rail-
road in its recent note issue. This,
of course, is a handicap to the bond
market.

Again Grubstaked.


Hutch Stevens, a brother of the
original locator, desired to take to
the hills for his health, and backed
by Nenzel, he sailed forth to roam
the mountains and seek health.
He located claims on Nenzel Peak
in January 1907, and during the bal
anee of the year lived in the hills of
that vicinity, doing a little work and
much hunting. He came to his death
in Limerick canyon, just across the
divide from Rochester canyon, in the
following December. but just how he
died will never be known.
1t had been Stevens habit to meet
the Spring Valley stage. passing a
few miles TO the east. once or twice
a week, and to correspond regularly
with Nenzel who was then at Los
Angeles, Cal. He met the stage on
December Z, as usual, having fol
lowed his regular trail over from
Rochester canyon, and was never
again seen alive.
Alarmed at the absence of news
Mcneil hurried home and organized
a searching party after it had been
determined that the man had disap-
peared. The country was raked foi
miles, but the body was not found
until April where it had laid in a
c%reyice of rocks covered by the win
ter SHOWS.
Coyotes had reached the remains
first and most of the skeleton had
been eaten away, but from all sur,
rounding circumstances, the only ex
PLANTATION of death was that he had
accidentally shot himself and had
died alone. His gun and the remains
of two sage hens were at his side.
Again the locations of Nenzel Peal
lapsed and a year interviewed wher
they might have passed into otheI
hands but fortune seems to have or
dained that Mcneil should be tn,

True to the program ne had so
consistently followed. Nenzel gave
out no word about his mine until the
stage was set and the actors ready.
and sprang it when he deemed the
time ripe and when his plans had
been completed that the camp might
start with a legal bill of health and
when capital would not be frightened
away by litigation. The inauguration
of the boom, the almost immediate
commencement of work and the evil
dent anxiety of men with money TO
get in on the proposition are proof
pasitiye that he planned wisely and
/ we'll.
The final word that brought Ro-
chester to the attention of the world
was said last July when Nenzel did
the first real work ever prosecuted on
Mcneil Peak.
This consisted of a short tunnel not
more than twenty feet in length in
the hillside following an ore shoot
that runs at right angles to the main
lead and shows on block I of the
Crown Hills claim. Here he took
out two carloads of are that went
close to 500 to the ton and which
first attracted attention to Rochester.
Since that time the interest has
grown and spread until no one shall
say where it will stop.
Out of his individual holdings he
has turned a portion of his claims
over to the Rochester Mines company
which was incorporated for the pur-
pose of raising money to work some
of the property. He still owns five
claims individually in the best part
of the hill besides holding $50, 900
shares of the Rochester Mines COM
pany, or a controlling interest.

THE ROMANCE OF
GROWN POINT
FOR TWELVE YEARS, JOE NEN-
EEL, PROPHET OF ROCHESTER,,
CARRIES CANYONS SECRET OF
RICH SILVER.

In answer TO the many inquiries
from new corners who a%nixiously ask
how the Crown Point outcrop of sill
yer ore has been overlooked for so
many year, they tell the story of
the Blind man who was crossing the
Humboldt range. says the Reno
Journal.
"He was stumping along with his
cane" says Governor Hutchinson,
"and began to run up against boul-
ders. He stopped, felt the silver
sticking out, and located the claim.
He told the boys apout it when he
got down to Loveloek and they went
out and took what was left"
Standing on the point of the hill
where the work is now going on one
can well imagine the difficulty of the
blind man in getting by the spot, and
the wonder grows that Joe Nenzel,
who was not a blind man by any
manner of means, had managed to
withhold the knowledge of this de-
post from the world for twelve years.
The story of Crown Point is an in
teresting one, heightened by a touch
of tragedy in which one of the loca-
tors lost his life, and colored by the
efforts of the original discoveries to
hold the secret inviolate. 1t is a
graphic tale of the ups and downs of
mining life in the west and speaks
of steadfast purpose that has unques-
tionably brought one man to fortune.
Twelve Years Ago.
Joe Nenzel knew of the deposits of
ore at the head of Rochester canyon
twelve years ago. In 1900 it was
first located by Charles Stevens of
Black Hills, South Dakota, as
Nenzel's representative.
Stevens had for many years been
a prominent business and mercantile
man in the Black Hills where Men
eel was then living and had brought
himself to practical collapse through
oyerwork. Nenzel had married into
the Stevens family. and was a grub
stalker when Stevens decided to come
into Nevada in search of health and
mineral.
Stevens wandered through the
mountains of the Humboldt range
and encountered the mineralized zone
along the line of hills of which Crown
Point is one, being attracted TO the
section by the work going on in
American canyon. He staked claims
along the outcrop on Crown Point, or
Mcneil peak, as the people of Love-
lock and Rochester now desire to call
the mountain, and in the same year
returned TO Black Hill where he
dwelt in glowing terms upon the pos
sibilities of his find.
The partners failed to follow the
matter up, however, and the claims
lapsed back to Uncle Sam, and it
was not until 1906 that Nenzel
drawn to Nevada by the Seven
Troughs boom, recalled the location
to mind and resolved to make an
other effort to find them.

We find the court house in fair
