TREASURE
N AN OLD STOVE
ROADHOUSE PROPRIETOR LO-
Gates COIN IN RANGE
GIVEN TO HIM.

Milton NJ. Detch, Goldfield booster
and attorney, once owned a stove, a
large kitchen range. He bought it,
brand new, three years ago from
James Crosby, who at that time con-
Quoted a general merchandise store
here, and installed t in a house
owned by him on South Euclid ave-
nue., next to the residence of Attor-
ney j. G.. Thompson. Various ten
ants used the stove, but for some
reason it was relegated to the yard
in the rear of the house and subject
a long time.
While out on an auto trip about
Il rec months ago, Detch stopped at
the Cuprite roadhouse. south of Gold
field, and in the course of a CONVEX
sation with Jack Gibbons, the pro-
prietor, the latter happened to men
ton the fact that his range had worn
out and he would be compelled to
buy a new one The remark immed-
lately brought to the mind of the at
torney the fact that he had a stove
going to ruin in the back yard of his
Euclid avenue house and he offered
to give it to Gibbons.
Gibbons called at the house in
question less than sixty days ago and
took the stove to his r~oadhouse. Mrs.
Gibbons gave the new acquisition a
trial but found that she could do no
baking in the oven. With the aid of
a small crowbar. Gibbons began an
investigation of the stove Immediate
ly below the oven, thinking that SCOT
had choked it up. Gibbons first
brought to light a large china plate,
then a burnt out incandescent electric
light globe and lastly a half-pound
baking powder can containing eight
cen $40 gold pieces.
Gibbons came into Goldfield Mon
day and appraised Detch of the treas
ure he had found in the stove. Detch
gasped for breath and when he final

accused of putting money into al
most everything but never in a stove.
It's your money Jack" Detch does
not even venture a guess as to how
the money came to be placed in the
stove.

MINES ARE
MAKING PROGRESS

Prince Consolidated company sen
out over thirty cars of ore from its
mine this week and it is reported
that the shipments are soon to be in
creased at least fifty tons per day.
Shipments from the B~ulliOnville tail
ings dump will begin in Il few days,
says the Phoebe Record.
Culverwell Brothers teams have
been busy this week hauling a lot of
heavy machinery from the Half Moon
mine to the Gold Chief property in
the Chief district. The Gold Chief
company recently purchased the Half
Moon mill building and contents
which included crushers and a con
centrating table. The plant is to be
utilized at the Gold Chief property.
The Yuba Leasing company began
hosting ore this week from the
pected that the first car of ore from
this locality will be sent out to the
smelters during the coming week.
S%tringers of zinc-lead sulphides in
a quartz gangue were cut yesterday
in the crosscut on the fourteenth
level of shaft No. l of the Amalga-
mated Phoebe to connect with the
Raymond & Ely fissure. The string
ers vary from a mere crack to four
inches in width. This indication is
encouraging. A second pump was
lowered this week into the 14th level
station; the two, it is hoped, will be
able to clear the water as it flows
from the crOsscut.
Harry Barr came to town one day
this week and brought with him some
samples of high grade silver-lead ore
from the Last Chance No. l and Last
Chance claims, which he located last
January. Mr.. Barr states that he
has an 1S-inch vein exposed and if it
gets no better nor M worse than it
is now he will be perfectly satisfied.
The claims yer at n time claimed
by F.. w. Dickle, Judge George F.
Talbot and Judge George S. Brown
who let them go, believing them to
be of no particular merit. The strike
was made by Mr.. Barr about ten feet
from the surface.

MINING ENGINEERS
PLAN ORGANIZATION
PROPOSE UTAH AND NEVADA
SECTION OF NATIONAL EN-
GINEERING BODY.

If the plans now being formulated
by the Utah members of the Ameri-
can Institute of Mining Engineers
are successfully contaminated, a To-
cal section of the national association
will be established in Utah in the i'm
mediate future, says the Salt Lake
Tribune.
Following call issued by r. c..
Gemmell, general manager of the
Utah Copper company, a number of
the most prominent mining engineers
in the state met at the Commercial
club Saturday night and drew up a
petition that will be presented imme-
diately to the executive board of the
American Institute of Mining Engi-
neers in New York City. The petit
ton asks that a charter be granted
Immediately for a local section of the
institute. with a membership consist.
ing of the mining engineers of Utah
and Nevada who r members of the
national organization.
The Utah engineers will at once
extend an invitation to the Nevada
members to join them in the move,
as the Utah and Nevada section OF
the Utah Institute of Mining Engin-
GERS, with headquarters in Salt Lake
City.
Ernest Gaylord of the General En-.
gineering company of Salt Lake was
made secretary of the meeting at the
Commercial club SATURDAY. night, and
the following engineers we're present
and signed the petition to the execu-
tive board of the national body: r. C.
Gemmell, C. II. Doolittle, Duncan
MacVichie, Albert Franck, Ernest
Gaylord, b. l.. Lewis. A. G.. Nebeker,
Walter Fitch, B. F.. libby, Frank An
derson, Stanley b. Sears, e. r. Ia
linski, A.. X. Herman, II. Hill, J.. c..
Dick. r. V. Bradford, w. A. Wilson.
J. C. McChrystal. A. II. Bardwell and
l.. S. Austin. George F. Waddell was
also present and participated in the
discussion.
If the Nevada members of the ma
tional association do not care to join
with the Utah members, the latter
will form simply the Utah section.
The members who were present at
Saturday nights meeting consider it
important that a charter be granted
and a local section organized imme-
diately, in order that preparations
may be started and work On the plans
for entertaining the thousand or more
mining engineers who will be in Salt
Lake the middle of August for a four
days convention of the American In
stitute of Mining Engineers. This
will be the national convention and
will bring to Salt Lake some of the
most prominent mining engineers in
the world.
The mining companies of the state,
big and little, are contributing to-
ward a fund of $4,000 for the en-
tertainment of the visiting delegates.

SOME ATTITUDES

The exact attitudes of about 275
points in Kansas and $50 points in
Nebraska are given in bulletin Alb,
issued by the United States geologi-
cal survey, as determined by spirit
levels u in connection with the
surveys topographic mapping. The
highest point in Kansas noted in the
bulletin is in the Syracuse quad
rangle, 3,522 feet above mean sea
level, and the highest point in Ne
braska is in the Browns Creek quad
rangle, 1870 feet above mean sea
level.
The topographic maps published
of points within the areas mapped to
the nearest foot, but those given in
the bulletins on spirit leveling are
exact and are especially valuable to
engineers and surveyors. Those who
have occasion to use the bench-mark
elevations should refer to bulletin
473 or apply to the director of the
geological survey at Washington, ID.
c., for the latest adjusted values,
using the bench markings as iden-
LITIGATION numbers only.
The survey bulletins on spirit
leveling, each covering II or more
states, when completed will form a
valuable series because the eleva-
ton of most of the datum points are
given in thousandths of a foot and
the points are so described and
marked as to be easily identified.

PORTLAND CEMENT.

The final figures for the Portland
cement industry in 1913, as obtained
vey on March 16, show a production
of 92,O97,131 barrels, shipments of
SS,6S9,377 barrels and stocks on
hand ~11,22O,32S barrels. 1t is some
what interesting to compare these
figures with the estimates made by
the Geological Survey on January
Is. These estimates were as follows:
Production 92,406,00O barrels, ship
ments, SS,S53.0O0 barrels and stocks
on hand 11,375,OOO barrels, and per-
centage of error ranging from only

will prove to be a branch of the Oc-
cidental vein.

Montana.
That the Montana Tonopah Mines
company milled during March a bet
ter grade of ore than in February is
demonstrated by the greater ship
ments of bullion for last month. The
total bullion output for the month OF
March was 3,400 pounds and % tons
of concentrates from the milling OF
4,514 tons of ore as compared with
the February production of 2,s.
pounds of bullion and 25 tons of con
centrates from the milling of 4,44S
tons of ore, an increase of
pounds of bullion from an increase
of only sc tons of ore
This Improvement in the average
grade of the ore milled is due to the
excellent grade of r now being
mined from the A. b. X. vein and
also from the Macdonald vein or the
765-foot level, these latter slopes
again showing improvement this
week in average values, a very good
grade of ore being now mined in both
slopes, while the Triangle vein in the
stope above the 465-foot level has
this week widened to 4 feet of very
good ore. The east stope on the Mac
also shows much better values this
week.
Three new veins were cut in the
property in the past week which may
prove of great Importance with fur
ther development.

The big vein encountered on the
1,0OO-foot level of the Tonopah Min

Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe Of Sage Tea And
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any drug store for IVY
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy"
you will get large bottle of this "a
nous old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two. your hair becomes beautifully
dark. thick and glossy.

THEN and NOW
(By Associated Press.)

One hundred years ago today the
first locomotive in the world to sue
cessfully haul load of freight upon
rails made its maiden trip. Invented
by George Stephenson the Father Of
Locomotives" it made it's first run at
Killingworth colliery in England. 1t
had so many rods and cranks strapped
to its boiler that it had the appear
ance of a huge grasshopper. 1t
weighed about six tons. A pair of
"walkingbeams,' resembling those of
a modern side-wheel steamer, turned
the four wheels. There being no cab.
the engineer had to stand while the
engine was in operation. 1t pulled
eight loaded cars, which aggregated
weight of thirty tons, up track
that had a grade of one foot in an
eighth of a mile. The test was a
grand" success, the engine running
about six miles an hour. The first
locomotive to draw train of cars in
the United States made its expert
mental trip in the Lackawanna coal
district fifteen years later. This loco
motive also was the product Of Steph-
enson. 1t was called the Stourbridge
Lion, after the place of it's manufac-
ture in England. Its American engi-
neer, Horatio Allen, ran the engine
over a track of hemlock rails for a
preliminary test. Then he invited any
gentleman in the gathering of spec
tators to accompany him. His invi-
tation was not only refused but he was
urged to give up his foolhardy ambi-
ton. Laughing at his advisers, he
pulled the throttle wide and dashed"
away at ten miles an hour.

Today over $4,000 locomotives are In
action over the 100000 miles of track
age in the United States. They con-
sumo about 100000 tons Of coal and
carry over a billion passengers and
1900, 100000 tons of freight annually.
After adopting the English-born child
of civilization, the United States took
the lead in its development and appli-
cation until today 1t stands as the
world greatest manufacturer of loco
motives. Besides making enough to
meet the domestic demand, the Amer
lean manufacturers are shipping loco
motives abroad at the rate Of dozen
a week. They are laundering through
the mountains of South America and
over the plains and valleys of Africa;
they are disturbing the calm of the
Orient, and are dashing from one end
of Europe to the other; they have
invaded the land of the locomotives
birth, England, and are in use upon
its principal railways. Like the steam
ship, the locomotive is growing larger
and more powerful every year. The
largest reported to be in use today is
a huge compound engine which meas
ures 100 feet over all and weighs $780,
600 pounds. 1t is an oil-burner and
carries 1000 gallons of oil and 10000
gallons of water. 1t cost $43,S30 to
build. These giants have reached a
point where one locomotive is so long
that it is hinged in the middle with
flexible joint so that it can turn a
curve without upsetting. Thus the
locomotive. has become the modern
Atlas that carries the burdens of the
worlds trade and population across
the continents.
