AUTO SHIPPED
IN BY EXPRESS
UNDER NEW RATES, CHARGE is
ALMOST AS CHEAP
AS FREIGHT

That it is almost as cheap to make
shipments from San Francisco to
Goldfield under the new express rates
as by freight was demonstrated Sun
day when the Nevada-California
Power company received from the
coast a five-passenger Ford automo-
bile, Grated and weighing 2,1O0
pounds, upon which the express
charge was SOS. Had the car been
shipped by freight in the same condi-
ton, the charge would have been
5000, or $3.50 uncrated.
Although it occupied only a small
part of it, n of the largest express
cars of the Wells Fargo company was
used for the auto and it made the
journey from San Francisco on pas
senger schedule time, leaving there
Saturday morning and arriving here
Sunday morning. The auto was pur-
chased through the Brown-Parker
Auto company and is the second to
be shipped to Goldfield by express
in the history of the camp, the first
being received in the boom days
from the east.

CARBONITE ELY HAS
OPENED SOME FINE ORE

In the Carbonate Ely company's
property, situated in Sawmill canyon
east from the town of Lund, a good
showing of copper ore is being open
ed up that promises the making of a
big mine in the old Ellison district.
At the depth of AZ feet in the shaft
a cross-cut was run that cut an ore
body eight feet wide which averages
Az per cent copper. A horse of lime
was then found which proved to be
between W. and three feet wide and
then the cross-cut again entered ore.
Last reports from the mine stated
that the face had been driven eight
feet into the second orebody without
finding the farther wall. This ore is
said to go 10 per cent in copper and
the indications are the ledge will
prove quite extensive.-Expositor.

Residents of Goldfield. numbering

Thursday night and paid homage to
the memory of Abraham Lincoln, the

INTER- IN

Last year r. w. Richards, of the
United States Geological Survey, Wis
tied a inter deposit on Camp Creek.
nea MelrOse, Mont, said to have
been discovered by F.. c.. Moore, of
Melrose. While the deposit may not
prove of economic Importance, it is
interesting in that it affords another
example of a nitrate deposit in a re.
gion having a fairly abundant rain
fall.
The value of the deposit can not be
safely estimated from the data which
have been collected. Further eXplora-
ton is needed to determine whether
or not the potash and soda nitrates
are included in the limestone back
from the outcrop. AS the average
soluble portion of the samples col
lected by Mr.. Richards is only about
l to 5 per cent, it appears that about
35 tons of rock would have to be
treated to obtain l ton of the crude
salts. This quantity if refined would
yield about 440 pounds of soda inter
and about 100 pounds of potash inter,
the former being at present worth
about $24 and the latter about SAL,
making a gross yield of about $3.50
per ton of rock treated. Better re-
turns might be obtained by treating
the loose rock fragments which lie
at the base of the cliffs, but such
material is very meager in amount.
A copy of the report, Bulletin
500, which has been issued as an
advance chapter from Contributions
TO Economic Geology, 1912" may be

Director of the United States Geo
logical Survey, Washington. D

W|IHDRAWS STOCK
FROM THE MARKET

The Buckskin National Gold Min
ing company has issued in a modest
way its annual report. 1t makes a
creditable showing for the manage
ment of the company of which Sem
ator Bell is the active moving spirit.
1t shows that the total expenditures
to date has been ~$13,576.26 for la
Dor and improvements; that said
company was realized from stock
sales at 10 cents a share, including
the stock paid to employees for wages
earned in developing the great prop
erty.
1t further recites hat there are
hundreds of tons of ore on the dumps
of great commercial value and that
ore sold, after paying expenses OF
shipment and treatment, returned
more than SO per pound in gold and
silver. The cash proceeds of this
ore went to swell the treasury
leaving many thousand dollars worth
of ore on dumps and in drifts, levels
and Slopes.
The full significance of the report
is that the Bell property is a rich as
set and that it's future "a the real
bonanza mine of the National Buck
skin mining district.
At another meeting of the Buck
skin National Gold Mining COM
pany's officers by a resolution of the
board of directors all treasury stock
listed at so cents a share is with
drawn from the market.
Another Buckskin not of import
ance is the fact that n of the
strongest, most successful and rich
est mine operators has becOm in
terested in Buckskin. The future
will reveal this most important figure
in the mining life of Nevada.
The latest reports are that the Ma
tional Buckskin Mines company, in
which Messrs. Welshons. Flynn,
Bradley and Martin are the safe
guards, is steadily pushing it's deep
tunnel ahead under the management
of Supt. James Martin and that the
conditions present are an assurance
of the confidence that prompts the
officers to do proof work with the
aim of making another bonanza on
Buckskin mountain.-Silver State.

SHERIFF. MALLEY is AFTER
ALLEGED STOCK RCSTLERS

Nevada may have it's Hole in-the-
Wall like Wyoming, where stock rus
tiers and outlaws can find refuge
and defy officers of the law. The
truth will be known in a few days
after Sheriff Malley returns from
a trip to the southern end of Nye
county. He is going prepared to as
sert the law and to find out the
meaning of a report that there is a
perfect nest of stock rustlers operat.
ing from an almost inaccessible can
you in the rugged hills thirty miles
from Beatty.
The trip is taken for the purpose
of procuring evidence to be employed
against the men who ran off a small
bunch of horses and mules from Sand
Springs valley, in the eastern part
of Nye county. The theft was COM
mitted January 10 and since that date
Malley has had one of his secret
staff on the trail of the marauders.
Yesterday he received word that the
stock had been discovered an taken
from hing in the hills near Beatty
an were now pastured close to the
railroad tracks. The first bunch Of
stock was owned by Nj. Mostro, a
member of the Elko County Live
Stock association, which has a stand
ing reward of $1,000 for the capture
and conviction of r%ustlers.
The sheriff will leave this after
noon on his journey and it is certain
that he will apprehend the men who
ran off the stock, as he intimates
that he is going after big game and
expects to land it.-Bonanza.

HIGHEST POINT IN FLORIDA

Although Florida is a region OF
comparatively slight relief, its sur
face presents considerable diversity,
ranging from a nearly level plain in
the coastal region and the Everglades
to a deeply dissected upland in the
northern part of the state, where
it is trenched by steep~walled valleys,
and to a highland in the peninsula,
where it shows many more or less
rounded depressions separated by
narrow divides. Attitudes within the
state range from the sea level TO
more than 200 feet above at places
on the ridge that forms the center of
the peninsula and to about 800 feet
above at the west end of the state,
neal the northern boundaries of
Gadsden, Walton, Santa Roca and
Escambia counties.
The southern part of the peninsula
comprising an area of about $50
miles long and v e 100 miles in av-
average width, lies in general less
than so feet above sea level. Narrow
strips of lowland also border the At
lantic and gulf coasts.
Tallahassee, the capital Of the
state stands about 205 feet above
sea level, on a remnant of the up
land which has been isolated by
erosion. According to the list of
attitudes furnished by the Seaboard
Air Line railway, Mount Pleasant is
sol feet above sea level. This is
the highest accurately determined
point recorded in Florida.

RIGHT to Bear Arms

The words from Article H., amend
ments to the Constitution of the Unit
ed States. "A well-regulated militia
being necessary to the security of a
free people. the right of the people
to keep and bear arms shall not be
infringed," evidently have a commu-
nifty meaning: but they also carry
along with them the right OF the In
dividual to safeguard himself and
his house by keeping himself armed
with the necessary means of defense.
The law against carrying concealed
weapons, now on TIE statute books OF
most of the states, is a matter quite
foreign to the broad principles of the
right of keeping and bearing arms.
