A LARGE GOLD
PROPERTY IN ELKO COUNTY

Cornwall Basin, accorning to John
Humphrey, who is in Winnemucca to-
day, will be the scene of larger mining
operations than what has been ap-
piled to that gold section heretofore.
In Humphreys words Cornwall
Basin, situate in the mineral trend
which has National and Jarbidge for
its most notable representatives, has
very strong prospects with a patially
developed mine.
The Humphrey property in the bosin
has been under operation for about two
years. During that time the owners
maintained themselves by chloriding
on the richer gold ore distributed
through the large vein. This large
vein as proven is an excellent milling
ore and with reduction facilities could
be worked at profit. For the purpose of
determining the ore to depth the own
ers are at present driving a 500-foot
crosscut tunnel. The tunnel is ahead
$50 feet. When the tunnel takes the
vein and vein in size and values
proves same as upper showings then
the property will have over $50 feet
of backs and quantity of ore in
sight to keep a l0-stamp bill busy for
years.

NATIONAL HAS
RICHER FUTURE

Thomas Defenbaugh, the National
merchant, after a brief stay attending
to business in Winnemucca, returned
to the high grade camp in his private
auto today. While here Tom was full
of the optimistic spirit as to Ma
tional's future. He relates the new
developments for his cheerfulness,
which included the rich new strike on
the Auto Hill by Dan McCloud, the
Charleston Hill Development COM
pany's uncovering of rich silver ore,
Senator Bell making rich producing
mine on Buckskin and the constant de-
velopment and gaining of rich values
on the National Mines, on the Hines
Baldwin lease and Hatch Mayflower
workings.
With all these fine showings Defen-
baugh is an assurance that other prop
critics are proving up and making

UNENDING LITIGATION SEEMS
TO BE FATE OF ROCHESTER,

Rochester is to have another law
suit. The curse of litigation seems to
be the lot of that typical Humboldt
range camp. The latest suit is that of
J. G. Colligan, ct al, against the Roch-
ester Mines company. The conflict
arises over the payment of royalties.
Colligan is lessor from the Weaver
Mines company, controlled by Mem
eel, and has neglected to make prompt
returns of the royalties due the Men
Eel interests and when he did pay
them he deposited them with the Mem
Eel opposition, which through itiga-
tion, tied up the royalties and in con
sequence Nenzel forfeited the Colliga
lease. 4.
The Colligan lease is one of the best
in the Rochester district. To avoid
losing the emoluments thereof Coli
gan will institute suit to maintain his
right to operate the lease block in
question pending the life for which
the lease was originally granted.

GLORIOUS EFFECT OF PITTMAN' S
FREE WOOL CAMPAIGN

Frank Gartiz, one of the best known
shepmen of Nevada and one of the
state best citizens, Notwithstanding
Senator Pittman S Indictment against
his people, is shipping 1000 sheep to
the San Francisco market today to be
slaughtered. Free wool is moving
along at a rapid rate for the benefit
of Humboldt county. The ranges are
empty, the prosperity of northern
Humboldt and Winnemucea is like a
cipher and the Pittman- Wilson forces
rule at Washington, but none of it in
future for Humboldt county. Avaint
free trade Democracy. 1t took Sc
cars to haul the sheep to market, via
the Southern Pacific.

ANIMALS SAID TO BE
GOOD WEATHER PROPHETS

II is said that the average animal
is much more able to fortell what the
weather will be than the average
human being, unless the latter has
made a particular and extensive study
of all weather signs.
Before a severe thunderstorm all
animals are upset. Dogs howl in dis
NAL chorus, fish continually leap out
of the water and worms, will often
come to the surface in hundreds. If
you enter wood at night, when the
air is close and stuffy, and find it
teeming with moths, you can be pretty
sure there is thunder in the air, for
moths always congregate two or three
hours before a storm.
Sheep foretell that snow is coming
by bleating loudly and seeking a place
of shelter. Pigs run about with straws
and sticks n their mouths before cold
weather sets in.
The toad quits his hole just before
a storm, for he is an insect eater and
knows that just before rain is the
best time to catch his prey. Gnats
and midges fly low when the weather
is likely to be unsettled, and that is
why swallows do the same, for they
eat the insects.
There are other weather signs to be
noted If in the morning when you
pick up the newspaper it displays a
tendency to tear almost on its own
account, then a downpour of rain is
not far off. If your shoe laces are
inclined to snap and your kid gloves
have a cold, clammy feeling and are
difficult to draw on, damp weather is
ahead.
Even your walking stick or umbrel-
la can act the part of barometer.
The handles before rain will reveal a
sticky to the touch. In this way the
question as to whether it is wiser to
take an umbrella or leave it at home
can be settled by the observant per
son by an examination of the article
itself.--Chicago Tribune.

C|NNABAR DEPOSIT
NEAR GOLD BANKS

w. F. Adamson, in company with
cinnabar expert, visited the large de-
posit of .cinnabar, near Gold Banks,
during the week. This deposit is rec
ognized, by those who know from ex-
perience what cinnabar is, as one of
the largest in the world. The parties
who will operate it are arranging to
install an up-to-date plant for reduc-
tion. The ore production from the
grass roots with higher average con-
tent Of quicksilver per ton than the
great Almaden mine, is enormous. The
area comprises nineteen full claims.
The development work over this large
area exposes the cinnabar from sur
face to depth attained. The proof of
showing is that the large plant to be
installed will work on cinnabar ores
for years without the expense and me-
cessity of digging down deep to get
the workable quantity of ore required.
The mining is easy. Natural sup
plies are advantageous and as q conse-
quence this new industry has all the
advantages that 60 for great profit
able cinnabar enterprise with its
benefits commercially and otherwise

FOR DEMOCRATS
(Communicated.)

The entry of w. C. Pitt and James
G. Sweeney into the Democratic race
for governor means that the Pittman
ring and machine will not have every
thing their own way.
With the good Democratic times
now prevailing, particularly through
the benefcent(O influence of free
wool and free sugar, the promises are
that there will be little use for a
Democratic candidate either for gov
ernor or senator next year.
Free wool and the price that this has
brought about is illustrated by the
present business conditions prevail
ing in Winnemucca and other sheep
sections of Nevada. Free wool is be
slowing real Democratic prosperity,
prosperity that always comes with
Democrtc administrations, lack of
business, laborers out of employment,
many striving to gain just enough to
keep body and soul together and 9th
er naturally industrious individuals
compelled to go on the tramp seeking
employment.
Such are the conditions that greet
one in these Democratic times and
with such conditions prevailig it takes
much courage for men of the Pitt and
Sweeney stripe to aspire to the ex-
allied position of governor. Either
are good men personally but it would
be well if all Democratic aspirants
would consult the voters in these
good(?) democratic times and see how
they felt about it,
If Winnemueca and surroundings is
a sign Of Democratic strength in these
days of depression, with no money for
the average individual, inability to
gain finances to carry on legitimate
enterprise and development aims
than those who aspire for Democratic
official preferment will enter such con-
test with hope left behind.
1914, from present signs, will not be
Democratic year, and Sweeney and
Pitt can wisely let the goat business
to some one else-Dickerson would do.

AN FD|FY|NC

other day as she sat with her bare
feet dangling over the pool in the very
effective first act of ''The Trail of

Homer's golden chain, which reacheth
down from heaven to earth by which
every creature is annexed and depends

"There is no beggary in the love
that June bears Hale, it is love that
cannot be reckoned, it is such love
that Shakespeare alludes to as once
having spoken, the voice of all the
gods makes heaven drowsy with the
harmony; it confounds all notion of
time; it effaces all memory of be
ginning, all fear of an end. June is
happier in the sentiment she feels than
in that which she has arounsed and she
realizes the true pleasure of love in

their stratigraphic position is little

and accurate definition.
1.-The structure of the Humboldt

by Louderback, who reached the con-
elusion that it is block of folded pre-
vretaceous rocks elevated and tilted
to the east in late tertiary time bv
zone of faults along the kest front of
the range. His explanation of the
structure of the Star Peak range is
similar, ano he believes that the main
fault along the west lase If tsis
range curves to the east through Cole
canyon and has thus effected the sepa-
ration of the Humboldt range into its
two distinct divisions.
