PLACERS ARE YIELDING
ABOUT $500 PER DAY

William ]. Easton, hotel proprietor
and merchant of Austin and one of
the stalwarts of the old-time repub-
lican party of Nevada, was an arrival
in Carson Saturday evening and re-
manned over till last evening, going
thence to Reno. Mr.. EastOn, Sc he
said, was not in Carson on a pOliti-
cal mission. but Sunday business be-
fore the land office seemed to be a
chimerical excuse.
In %journeying from Austin Mr..
Easton stopped over at Battle Noun
tain and Copper Canyon, where the
big placer operations r underway.
OF these latter he speaks in flatter-
ing terms. AT the present time"
he said, 1.-The placers are producing
about $500 per day. and with the
new ground being opened up this
amount will be materially added to in
a short time. Litigation is holding
the field back, but this will be soon
settled and many men put to work.
The section around Copper Canyon
has a bright future and the placer
mines %thereabout are going to make
record productions" While in the
camp Mr.. Easton watched a small
sack of dirt washed out that pro-
duced 81 in gold.-Appeal.

Restraints
WEST END COMPANY
JIM BUTLER COMPANY ENTERS
SUIT FOR ORE En-
TRACTED.

Upon the conclusion of arguments
last night, Judge Mark r. Averill of
the district court of Nye county is
sued a writ of injunction against
the West End Consolidated Mining
company, operating in the Tonopah
district, restraining it from extract
ing ore from the Jim Butler-MacNa-
mara vein in the Eureka and Curtis
claims of the Jim Butler TonOpah
Mining company. The writ was
made returnable next Monday, at
which time further arguments will
be presented.
The issuance of the writ of %injunc-
ton is the outcome of the Apex o n
troversy between the two companies.
In addition to asking for the i%njunc-
ton, the Jim Butler company has
filed suit against the West End COM
pany for judgment of $780, 900, the
value of ore alleged to have been eX-
tracted by the latter from the for
mer's ground during the past year.
The plaintiff asks further that the
judgment be trebled.

CURTz CONSOLIDATED
MEETS WITH APPROVAL

H. G.. Anker, mining engineer
from British Columbia, was a Car
son visitor yesterday arriving via
auto from Alpine county, where he
sampled the Curtz Consolidated
mine. When seen by a representa-
tive of the Appeal, prior to his de-
parture for San Francisco last even
ing, Mr.. Anker stated that he had
visited the property about thirty-five
years ago and had always been con-
vinced hat there was a mine of con-
siderable magnitude in the ground
now being operated by Captain
Curtz. After carefully sampling the
ore in sight and the different lodges
that were being developed he saw no
reason to change his former opinion,
but that a different method would
have to be used in treating the ores
than that now in use if a proper saw
ing of the mineral content was to be
expected.
Considerable of the old workings
had caved, and in some of the drifts
and Slopes it was practically impos-
sible to make an accurate estimate
Of the tonnage of commercial ores,
hut that all that he had sampled
would pay to mine. On the Morning
Star claim the company have a show
ing that would open the eyes OF
many mine operators and with the
proper amount of development there
is no doubt but that it would be a
paying property. Alpine county will
be a busy mining community in the
not distant future is the opinion OF
mr. Anker. He states that the Curtz
Consolidated can with a conserva-
tive expenditure be placed in a con-
dition that will attract all the capital
necessary to place the property in
the ranks of dividend payers. The
values are there and intelligent man
agement is all hat is needed.-Ap-
peal.

HAMILTON Is MAKING
STRIDES FOR RETIREMENT

w. b.. Bierce, manager of the
Hamilton Power, Mining and Trans
portation company, which has sue
ceeded in opening up one of the best
mines in the district, is spending a
few days of the present week in Ely
On business in connection with his
company's affairs. He reports that
his only trouble in months past has
been due to lack of transportation.
He now has about $500 sacks of ore
ready fer shipment, but owing to the
heavy SHOWS has found difficulty in
getting teams to haul the ore to Eu-
reka. Since coming to Ely he con-
tracted for one six and one four
horse outfit, which added to the out
fit already employed, will materially
assist in getting the ore to the rail
road. He predicts a lively spring
il the old time camp. In order to
accommodate the travelling public
Charles Minoletti has converted his
large two-story brick block into a
first-class hotel, which is now under
the management of Mrs. Carl Muir,

UTAH AND NEVADA OFFER
BEST NINE OPPORTUNITIES

John Cleghorn, a well-known min
ing operator of Utah and Nevada, re-
turned yesterday from Arizona and
New Mexico, where he went to look
over some of the reported new
strikes and several of the booming
mining sections down there. He saw
some pretty good things. Yet he
is of the opinion that right here in
Utah and Nevada there are just as
good if not a little better opportuni-
ties than can be found in any of
the states further removed. For the
prospector, anyway, Mr.. Cleghorn
unhesitatingly recommends the home
districts.
Mr.. Cleghorn looked over the
camps of Bisbee. Ray, Mogollon and
others. He said the gold strike at
Ray is attracting considerable atten-
ton. Yet developments to date are
in the mere prospective stage. A
few open cuts have been made with
fair showings. There is one old
shaft of 50-foot depth which had
shown the presence of some free
gold. At Mogollon, N. NJ, he found
conditions resembling the big silver
mines of Tonopah. Bullion was be-
ing hauled out by the wagonload.-

LURE OF HIDDEN COLI

A story m from the city Of
San Salvador, in the little Central
American republic of Salvador, that
an old tale of treasure rove has led
to the organizing of a mining com
pany there headed by a mining en-
gineer. An ancient manuscript,
whose authenticity is said to be I'M
doubted, tells of the hiding of a large
amount of gold bullion, gold and sill
yer coin and gems in the Hedionda
cave near the town of Suchitoto. The
location of the cave, or, at least,
that part of it supposed to- contain
the treasures, has been hidden by
erosion, and it is the intention of the
company to run tunnels with the
hope of picking up the old cavern
with its precious contents. At the
same time the company will start
mining operations on several mining
properties in the same vicinity.
Search for buried treasure is al
ways more or less fascinating in
these Latin-American republics.
which are overrun with traditions
OF fabulous sums of buried gold
and coin that have remained hidden
from human eyes for centuries. In
these semi-tropical lands the general
antipathy for real work and the in
born gambling spirit of the people
who inhabit them prompt the ad-
v%enturous to fall for any story that
sounds like easy money. We are of
opinion, however, that real energetic
prospecting and mining would be far
more likely to lead to golden treas
ure than the pursuit of some will-o'-
the-wisp. Perhaps we are of too
practical nature to get the enjoy
ment out of the uncertain things of
this world that so much delight our
reighbors in the sunny, care-fre"
countries to the south of us.-Min.

BUCKSK|N CAMP
WILL SOON HUM
STRONG LEASING OUTFITS PRE-
PAIRING FOR BIG OPERA
TONS

Dan r. Dwyer, who recently went
to the coast on business, in a letter
to S.. F. Flynn of the Nation Buck
Skin Mines company, writes most en-
couragingly as to the good mining
outlook for Nevada this year. He
predicts that there will be much cap
ital for investment and development
in northern Humboldt county, par
ticularly in and around the Buck
skin mountain section.
The manner in which development
work on the Buckskin National Gold
Mining company is responding with
high-class ore is generally known IN
business and mining circles on the
coast with the feeling that the Bell
Stauffer property has the best show
ing of any e discovery OF recent
wears and that as depth is attained
that he mines will so improve until
it becomes one of the big mines of
the county.
Mr.. Dwyer states in his letter that
strong financial support is guaran-
teed to three development and leas-
ing properties for Buckskin. The
capitalists supporting these develop
ment prospects are not tenderfeet,
but some of the best known and most
successful mine operators in the
west. The fact of the entry of these
men means much for the Buckskih
section.
Mr.. Dwyer controls a block of
ground on the Buckskin Mary. The
block adjoins the Bell property. The
Dryer block shows strength and
from grass roots returns values from
Sc to $50 per ton. The showings
are such as to make the lease propect
by Dwyer one of the very favorable
opportunities on Buckskin mountain,
The Buckskin National mine has
every aspect of proving a richer and
gold and silver producer
than the original National mine, and
the leases of Stanton and Dunn,
Berry Bros, N. P. R. Hatch, Kendall
and Pike and Dryer have an outlook
more assuring than the Stall broth
ers had when they commenced their
operations on Charleston hill a few
miles north, and from which they in
a few months extracted so great a
fortune.
Buckskin mountain has the call
and by May 1st the leasers, properly
financed, will make the dirt fly in
downright earnest in the making OF
mines and profitable leaseholders.-

vas the treasurer's report, which
stated that the financial condition of
the church treasury is better than it

COAL NINE

According to the Reclamation Rec
ord the coal mine on the North Da-
kota pumping project mined 34,365
tons of coal in 1913 at a total aver
age cost to date of SIG for both
operation and maintenance. The to-
tai average was reduced 12.1c dur
ing 1913. The average cost for coal
mined in 1911 was $1.56; in 1912,
s1.89; and in 1918, SLABS. 1t is
expected to reduce the average cost
at least zoe per ton during 1914
and at the same time improve the
condition of maintenance. This re-
duction will mean $4,000 on the an
nual production of 10000 tons and
a corresponding reduction in opera
ton cost.

MILLS ARE RUNNING.

William Donovan of Silver City,
was a COmstock visitor today on bus
mess, and states that mining opera
tons in hal camp are very much on
the move at the present time, and
tie outlook is good for a busy sea-
sen. The ore accumulated during
the winter is now being hauled to
the mills and LEY are running to ca
pacity. Mr.. Donovan is running both
of his cyanide plants, and the Wood
bury plant started up yesterday.

UNIVERSITY NOT
LENDING NAME
CLUB is WHOLLY UN-
AUTHORIZED.

When seen on his return from Re-
no today, Walter f. Pratt made m
phatic denial that the University of
Nevada is lending it's name to the
furtherance of the women's suffrage
propaganda, or any other political
movement. He said: "The sO-called
University of Nevada Equal Suf-
frage Club which has figured in
newspaper discussion for the past
few days, is no part of the state uni
versity and the use of it's name was
u~nwarranted, and without permission
Of those in charge of university af-
fairs.
THE president of the club, whose
name was attached to the commune
cation SEM to school teachers
throughout the state, is not a mem
Der of the faculty, but is a student
at the university. The board of re-
gents is squarely on record that no
attempt shall be made to curb or
mold the expression of anyone con-
nected with the school or any debat-
able political question; that they
shall be free to exercise the rights
of citizenship, but opinions given
must be understood as being individ-
ual, and not the voice of the univer-
sity. Attention has been given to
the recent affair, which seems to
have been caused more by ineXperi-
ence than by any wilful desire to
~transgress a rule that had been es-
tablished."

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
New Vaudeville, a Fine Three Reel Feature and Funny Sterling conl- edy.

The programme today is one that will appeal to practically everyone, as there Is both comedy and drama in abundance, with the balance in favor Of the comedy.
 The bill will commence with the special three-reel 101 Bison feature en- titled The Hopes of Blind Alley. This picture Is a page torn from the book of life.. and the acting of Murdock Me- Quarrie as the old sculptor who is everybody's friend is revelation in character studies. The supporting company is the same as appeared in The Forbidden Room and The Old Cobbler, two features that were big hits at this house
 Dick Mack has novel act in which he combines some fine singing with banjo playing, at which he is an ex- pert. 4
 The Emeries have an aerial act in which they do some stunts that are thrilling and daring in the extreme, and their work represents the acme of physical development.
 ~' Marcus & Wittell are the third act and they are very versatile pair. Mr. Marcus is a good singer, an expert pianist and a clever dancer and char acter entertainer while Miss Erminie Wittel1 is a comedienne of exceptional talents; her quick change to a male character is a clever piece of work that will no doubt be very favorably received
 To close the show we have the in- innitable Ford Sterling himself. This time he appears as The Jealous Illus band, and the comical antics he ere ates are only possible with himself. Of course, the film finishes with Sterling smashing up everything in sight. not forgetting the crazy police force, who arc always in a hurry but never get anywhere. If you have laugh in you, Ford Sterling will bring it to the sur face
 Dor't forget, Lucille Love will be here tomorrow, and as this is nearly the end of this series, some exciting incidents are sure to happen
