RICH COUNTRY
IN Which TO DIG

Tourney Gordon and c. A. Garrett
were arrivals from their gold silver
property in Cove canyon, in the Pine
Forest section, some six miles west
from the Leonard Creek placer dig
dngs.
Both Gordon and Garrett, as high.
class prospectors and miners, are
earnestly enthusiastic over the rich
metal opportunities Of the Pine For
est section. On their property in
Cove canyon they are doing extensive
proof work and so far every sign is
for rich profitable mine develop
ment. To facilitate their confidence
and assurance that they have the real
things they let three contracts to
three different parties to sink and run
long tunnel. Over their wide min
eralized area they have the showings
that promise large and consistent de-
velopment work. In fact their veins
through preliminary prospect work
and shallow shafts conveys the in
centive that belongs to real large
mine-making efforts. In general they
present the faith which prompts such

as they believe is within the rock

They also bring the information
that Moffat and company are with
their drift tunnel on Tepee creek get

which they are driving the long tun-
mel.
Cnrrier & Fraser, below New York
canyon, sank shaft to bedrock and
are getting some very rich gravel
wherein the placer gold is very plen

The water though, in the bottom, like
in Tepee gulch, is so strong that tc

All in all Garrett & Gordon are en-
thusiastie and confident that the Pine
Forest end will prove an Eldorado.

Social Science and Public Schools and
was logical and edifying.
Miss Byrkett, instructor of domes
tic science, gave an adress, explain
ing her work as teacher, abounding
in good sound sense and was appre-
ciated by all present.
Professors Jewett and Scott made
brief addresses on the higher sciences
as a matter of education. The dis

THE MAN FOR
STATE SENATOR

On another page appears the candi-
dacy card of Hon. John. ID. Bradshaw,
of Paradise Valley, as a candidate for
state senator. He Is non-partisan
candidate, appealing for the Hum
boldt suffrage irrespective of party.
John ID. Bradshaw has been an ac-
tive resident of Humboldt county
since 1876. During all his residence
he has been a creditable enterprising
citizen, helping to build and develop
the great agricultural resources. In
stead of being townsman he has
been ploughsman and worker all
these years, cultivating Paradise
acres and adding usefully to the sum
total of the worlds wealth. As a
farmer he has been a success. Today,
through his thrift and energy, he
owns model estate in Paradise valley
where year in and year out he plods
and grows the things of good and USE
ful service to society. In his ca
pacity as farmer-cltizen he has done
well and always performed his duty
as man. He also has been a public
official. As such there is no flaw in
his career. As county commissioner he
faithfully attended to the duties pre-
scribed for that responsible position.
For two Germs, 1906 and 1908, he was
elected to the Nevada legislature
During the last term he served as
chairman of the committee of ways
and means, the most important COM
mittee in any legislative body. As a
legislator he was active, scurpulously
attentive to legislation and careful
and prudent in his support of any
measure, but at all times he support
ed liberal program and fully lived
UP with the progressive spirit of the
age. His creditable legislative ex-
perience highly qualities him for the
senate and since his election is a
foregone result it is appropriate to
say that Humboldt county will have
and able member in the Nevada sen
ate.
