McCune in Peru.
That involved the building of a
railroad over the crest the Andes,
the opening of vast mine, including,
of course, the purchase and installing
OF vast and most costly machinery in
barbarous and far off country. But
its promise now is to be as much a
controlling force in the copper world
as the Calumet & Hecla has been dur
ing the past 40 years.
In addition to his California farms

spring the papers had fun accounts OF

But the splendor of j. b. Haggin' $
character was in his modesty and the
entire absence of that attribute which
we may call Arrogance of wealth,
Not one of the west coast millionaires

John W. Mackay His character in
this respect was duplicated by the
magnificent woman who was his first

said to her: Mrs. Haggin. you are SO

don or Paris probably would have a

horses and on the doors of my car

RICH STRIKE REPORTED

Black sulphurst of silver approx
imating a value of 1000 ounces was
struck in the Watt mine at New
York canyon this week. The strike
was made 1870 feet in the west drift
from the main incline at the 200
foot level. 1t is presumed this is
the upward extension of the rich
shoot that yielded so much high
grade at the 800 level, but which
pinched out or was cut off on the
raise. The rich deposit is on the
hanging and so far as opened up is
from two to four inches in width.
Thursday three sacks of the rich
stuff was taken out. The lease is
being operated by Henry e. Lemaire
of Battle Mountain and Mrs. Isa-
belle Watt of Silver Creek.-Austin

ENORMOUS NEVADA MAPS
FOR THE EXPOSITION

Two enormous maps of Nevada,
n or a scale of four miles to the
inch, are beng made at the offices of
Lloyd & Simkins for the Panama
Pacific exposition. 'Ihe smaller map,
intended as a wall map for the min
ing display, is being drawn in the
usual way on paper. 1t will show
the various mining camps and dis
tricts of the state.
The larger map is the more inter-
esting Of the two, as it is being
made of wood. Each quarter inch of
pine represents 1000 feet of eleva-
ton, and some of the mountains in
the state rise to a height of several
inches. The map is being made by
tracing from government geological
survey maps the contour lines, re-
tracing them on thin pine slabs and
cutting them out with saws. The
pieces are then built up with ham
mer and nails and eventually will be
smOothed owe with putty or clay. A
casting of the map will be made to
show the agricultural lands, while
the mining map will be used to show
mining districts.-Gaette.

CYANIDE MILL FOR
THE EASTERN STAR
SAN FRANCISCO FIRM DESIGNING
PLANT WITH FTFTY-TON
DAILY CAPACITY

Under various difficulties the gold
mines of the Gold Circle district of
Nevada have been moving ahead
slowly, says the Deseret News. The
camp is still working quite a force
of men. The most recent develop
ment is the designing of a fifty-ton
mill for the Eastern Star Mining
company. This is being done at
San Francisco.
The crushing part of the mill will
consist of 7X1O Blake ore crusher,
five 1250-pound stamps and one 5x
IS tube mill for fine grinding. The
continuous defamation system will be
employed and zinc dust used instead
of zinc shavings for precipitation.
Grading and foundation work will
commence as soon as the plans are
advanced far enough, which will be
within ten days, and at the same
time lumber for the mill building
will be hauled from the Western Pa
cifc railroad at Redhouse. The ma
chinery house requires from 80 to
As days to make delivery from the
factories in the east.
An internal combustion engine will
be installed to furnish power for the
mill and will be one of the first OF
this type of engine to be installed for
direct power purposes in Nevada
camps.
Power can be developed at much
less cost than by the use of coal for
the generation of steam, there being
a large saving in the most of wagon
transportation as well as the origi-
nal cost Of the respective fuels. The
company will install a steam genera
tor to provide electricity for light
ing the mill. F. Rheinhart, a prom
inent merchant of Winnemucca and
Golconda, who has been a large
stakeholder in the company since its
organization, has been elected a di-
rector and will give his personal at
tention to matters pertaining to
mill construction. w. B. Chidester,
formerly of the engineering staff of
the Belmont at Tonopah, will have
charge of construction and will SUI
p%erintend operations when the mill
is put in commission.

in the 1~.170-foot level, but it is
now believed that the ore at the l.

hanging wall.
On the upper levels the ore was
found on the hanging wall but as
stated, had shifted to the footwall
on the Ito foot level.
During the past week the 1,170-
foot level was connected with the
Tonopah Extension workings or the

Monarch-P ittsburg
H. c. Brougher, president of the
Monarch-Pittsburgh Mining COM
pan, visited the property this week
and was very much encouraged with
the showing and plans for future de-
velopment. At present the manage
ment is confirming all work to the
north of the shaft, with the view OF
picking up the. extension of the Muir
ray vein. A northeast crOsscut on
the S5O-foot level is being driven
ut the rate of four and one-half
feet per shift and when the side
line is reached if the Murray vein
is not encountered a raise will be
driven until the caprock is cut. This
plan of development should cut the
western extension of the Murray
vein. provided the same extends this
far west and south.
Mizpah Extension
The drift which is being IL on
the vein from the 55-foot point in
the winze from the 1,160-foot level
of the Mizpah Extension is now out
fifty feet. Arrangements are being
made to start a drift to the east on
the vein on the ~1.160-foot level, and
later on, a stope will be started from
the level 55 feet below.
During the week a shipment OF
seven and one-half tons was made
to the Montana mill. This ore came
from the drift from the winze and
returned values of $3.50 per ton.
TOnopah Victor
At the Tonopah Victor a station
is being cut at the 1,300-foOt point
in the shaft, in which will be in
stalled a 5x10 Deming tripleX
pump.
The company was fortunate In Sc
curing this pump in Goldfield and it
should be delivered on the ground
before this appears in print. 1t is a
powerful one and will pump water
to the surface.
When It is installed the unwater-
ing of the Victor will make material
ly increased progress, as the bailing
skips will be kept going as well as
the pumps-Tonopah Miner.

SOME MINING GOING ON
AT OLD RESERVATION CAMP

There is quite a little mining ac-
tivity just now at the old camp of
Iona, or Reservation Hill. The
Golden Fleece company, whose prop
erty is located just above the Capt.
tola property, is doing considerable
work. This company is installing a
25 h.. p. gasoline hoist. The shaft
ON the ground is down 100 feet, and
it is the cOmpany's intention just as
soon as the hoist is in commission
to sink to the 4OO-foot level, cutting
stations at intervals of 100 feet.
The values in this property are gold
exclusively. The vein is three feet
in width all the way down. Several
carloads of lumber are on the
ground and construction of quarters
for men is under way. The prop
erty is controlled by San Francisco
capitalists and the operations at
the property are in charge Of
George Holmes, a mining nan of
much experience, VINO generally
meets with success.
The Capitola property has reached
a depth of 1875 feet. A station is
being cut and as soon as it is finish
ed prosecuting and drifting on the
vein will be pushed ahead. There
is merit in the property. 1t was To-
Gated by VIM. Langstaff in 1906, at
the time of the Walker Lake reser-
walton opening. He has stayed with
the property ever since and is in a
fair way to make some good money
by his perseverance. = Yerington

America is favored above all
other nations in the world. Her
enormous cops. her capacity for
expanding industry and to sup

resourcefulness afford her an
opportunity that seldom comes

There ought to be a PARTICULARS
ready response this year to the prese
ident's proclamation. calling for a
general thanksgiving. Ay
As a nation we have much to be
thankful for in 1914, a year which
has brought untold sorrow and dis
tress to the people of European
countries torn by war and oppressed
by the vision of long-continued pow
erty.

published a cartoon. showing the
various nations of Europe, person

ton, attacking with their swords
and bayonets a great bag, of gpic
representing the peoples savings of
fifty years. Jttl
There's nothing like than in this
country, and that is why every
thrifty American may rejoice most
keenly at this time. =.

We are going to be more highly ia
vorei than ever among the nations
OF the earth from this time forth.
But we have also a lesson to learn
just now.
In Europe savings are being
burned up and destroyed at an in
credible rate, says Golfers Weekly.
We cannots top that. But for pur-
poses of Americas future develop
ment we can and must accumulate

The one universal way in which
all can help along prosperity here
is by the practice of economy.
A prominent western banker re-
Gently said:
This country and practically the
entire world has for about fifteen
years been travelling the highway of
increasing extravaganza. This APP
plies to government, state, munich
pal and individual expenditure.
The unparalleled wal now raging
has brought us up with around
turn and economy must be the
watchwOrd. President Wilson is
now emphasizing the necessity for
retrenchment in national affairs.
State and city officials should both
preach and practice 1t. In Chicago
municipal officers and citizens
leagues are cooperating to ac-
complish it,"
We car be thankful that we are
as thrifty a nation as we are, nut
there is still much room for inn
provement while the incentive for
saving on the part of Americans are
now greater than ever before.
