receiver be appointed for the com
rany, has been named receiver.
James A. Breen objected to Stitt
being named receiver. The company
is unable to meet the policies it is
sued several years ago and the
president of the company has there

BUCKSK|N Pulls
ATINC WITH LIFE

In a mining sense Buckskin Ma
tional presents a series of pouches
which puIsate with life and brings to
realization the mining advantages
and possibilities of gain at Buckskin
mountain in the National mining dis
trict and situated a few miles south
of the National Mines.
The distinctive properties attract
ing attention at this time are the
National Buekskin Mines Co., con-
trolled by Flynn, Martin ct al, the
Buckskin Mary mine, controlled bv
Ben Farrar and associates, and the
Buckskin National Gold Mining com
pany controlled by Senator Bell
Stauffer and the Ward estate. These
properties have proven and promising
gold and silver deposits and showings
So well known and capable mining
engineer as Frank r. O'Leary public
ly pronounces Buckskin as a great
mine opportunity and where at pres
ent they are mining $50 gold ore
not 500 to the ton, but 500 to the
pound high grade ore that makes the
very National Mines high grade pay
oteisance to the fact that the parent
Buckskin mountain has such gold
and silver deposits as to ultimately
outclass the offspring of Buckskin
further north and that offspring in
DAYS gone by made a record of some
thing like $6,000,000 of gold and sill
yer produced But further OLeary
states that besides these high grade
values that Buckskin carries in a
rich sense for two or three feet a con
sistent body of ore that values from
$50 a ton upwards. With a reduction
plant on the ground this character of
ore will mount into rich returns and
high profits on capital invested in
double quick time.
Besides the tonnage of such ore
over and above the 500 pound ore
there are ore deposits and prospects
on Buckskin mountain in addition to
the excellent National Buckskin
Mines Co, the Bell and Farrar prop
critics as to give that favored mineral
ized mountain a mine movement dur
ing the coming year that will open in
a practical sense one of the best and
most profitable mine sections in the
west
The district needs facilities to treat
in volume the produeable ore of mill
grade. The high-gra can readily
be marketed but the $50 to 800 per
ton ore needs treatment facilities on
tn egroudn. The Bell property has a
large quantity of tins ore enblock and
in sight and Superintendent Martin
of the National Buckskin report that
his workings are penetrating milling
grade of rock and that by the time
he reaches the vein proper for which
he is driving the long tunnel, that he
feels that ore of sensational import
ance and values will be encountered

new ACTIVITY AT
BARRETT SPRINGS

There is a fair prospect of a re-
vival of mining at Barrett Springs.
Three or four years ago this district
was in the limelight, and a consider
able amount of valuable ore was
shipped. The principal property work
ed was the Romola group, owned by
the Nineteen-Ten Mining company.
About two years ago it was sold to
parties from Iowa, who continued
work for a time, but finally abondon-
ed the camp, moving off all the build
ings. Leasers and miners followed
suit, until there was nothing left at
the original camp except tunnels,
drifts, wines and shafts, which could
not well be hauled away.
However, II. Kantenwein, princi-
pal owner of the Little Florence
group, adjoining, and C. T. Smith,
cwner of the Laurel Hill mines, never
lost confidence in the camp and kept
at work in a small way. The day be
fore New Year, the two gentlemen
mentioned went out to Barrett
Springs, and at ~ clock located sew
cral claims. The Ramola was located
by both, within a few minutes of each
though the courts would be called up
on to settle the ownership. But hap
PLY the matter has been amicably
adjusted, the parties in interest divid-
ing the Romola and Flower Boy
Both claims have records as shippers,
upon the latter being located what
was known as the "Swede Lease, -
with extensive workings.
Sunday Messrs Kantenwein and
Smith visited the camp and let a
lease on the Flower Boy, to five ex-
perienced miners, and il will not be
many days before a carload of ore
will be shipped to Hozen. Other par
ties are negotiating for leases on the
two claims, and the property will be
thoroughly exploited, with the
chances in favor of a large number
Of men again at WORK in the camp be-
fore the opning of spring.
As Barrett Springs is practically
situated in Winnemucca back yard,
lying not to exceed ten miles dis
revival of the camp means much
for the town.

GOOD PRICES AND BOUN-
TIFUL CROPS PREDICTED

Good prices and bountiful crops are
the results obtained from dry farm
ing in Nevada, according to reports
from field agents received by F. W.
Houtz, assistant land commissioner of
the Southern Pacific company. Three
ears of wheat were shipped from
Metropolis to San Francisco which
netted the raisers at the shipping
point $l.5l per cent GENITAL, and four
ears went to keno at a price of $l.60
at Metropolis. 1t is said that San
Francisco millers are well pleased
with the high quality and are asking
for more.
Spring wheat, during the past year,
yielded at the rate of forty bushels to
the acre; barley, thirty bushels; oats,
thirty-five to forty bushels; and fall
wheat, from twenty to twenty-five
bushels.
The grain was all raised without
irrigation on rolling sagebrush land
of the type of the lands the Southern
Pacific is sellin~ at inducements to
settlers. The Metropolis land had
been cleared in 1911 and 1912. Pota-
toes have also been found a success
full crop.

EXPRESS COMPAA,IES COM
PETE WITH PARCELS POST

Sunday the new rates went into
effect with the express companies and
packages may now be sent by express
az tariffs that in most instances are
lower than those charged by parcels
post. A citizen with l2-pound pack
age for San Francisco ascertained
that the parcels rate was 81 cents.
Inquiring at the Fargo office, he
learned that the express rate was the
same, and decided in favor of the ex-
press company, as it call for and de-
Iivers parcels.
However, the new postal law has
had the benfeent effect of causing the
express companies to reduce their
rates Formerly the express charged
on this l2-pound package would have
been $l.25, the new rate being re-
duction of practically 60 per cent.

IMPORTANCE OF COP
PER BEARING PORpHYRY

In considering the fact that the
Battle Mountain district contains one
cf the greatest areas of nerphyry ear
rying copper deposits from which
much high grade copper ore was ship
ped in the past clear away to
Swansea, and which in the near fu-
ture will be developed into one of the
greatest copper producing camps in
the United States, the following able
article is taken from the Ely Record:
When the so-called "porphyry cop
per commenced producing only few
years ago, it was predicted by officials
of the lode mines that they would be
short-lived at best, and would never
rank high as dividend payers. But
today they are generally recognized
as not only the greatest producers,
but also in the lead as earners of
dividends.
Utah Copper has been producing
over six years and is the Oldest of the
porphyries. Since the Garfield con-
centrator was started in June, 1907,
this property has outputted over 492,-
100000 pounds. Nevada Consolidat-
ed started production in August, 1908,
and has produced 23,200,000 pounds.
Raw Consolidated leads the newer
porphyries with an output of l00,-
100000 pounds in a period of nearly
three years, production having start
ed in March, 1911. Chino entered the
ranks in December, 1911. To date
this property has produced 79,000,-
600 pounds. In March, 1911, Miami
became a producer and has output
over S5,500,000 pounds. Total pro-
duction of all the porphyries since
the Garfield concentrator was started
in 1907 has totaled over 100000
600 pounds, or to be exact 1,0S0,-
100000.
Had it not been for tn eoutput f
the "porphyry coppers" the price of
the metal would have been so high
now as to largely restrict its use.
The porphyries have made good in ev-
cry respect and have opened up new
and wide field for mining enerprise.
In almost every instance they have
demonstrated their ability to turn
out their product at a much lower
cost than the lode mines and now that
the metal is accumulating with pros
poets for lower prices, all their stock
holders can rest easy in regard to
their dividends Should copper de-
cline to lower levels, that is to IL, 12
or l3 cents, many lode mines will be
compelled to close down, while the
porphyries' turning out their pro-
duet at from seven to nine cents per
pound win still have wide range of
profit, assuring their continuous ope-
ration.
The porphyries, owing to their
ability to handle a tremendous ton
mage, are now profiting largely by
new inventions and new methods. A
saving of from five to ten per cent
additional values with leach the Ne
vada Con-, means large additional
profit, while the same saving with
lode mines producing on a small scale,
does not amount TO much. The new
process of teaching tailings which is
now in successful operation in Ari-
zona and Montana, viii later be in
tiodueed in all of the larger plants
which viii lstilt further reduce the
cost of production.

INTERESTING CIRCULAR
ISSUED BY GOULD LINES

A circular which should prove of
interest to shippers all over the coun-
try has been issued by the traffic de-
partment of the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain. The matter contain
ed in the document is based on infor
nation furnished by ii. c. Dinkins,
special representative of the railroad
who some time ago was assigned the
duty of visiting the latin American
countries and making study of
trade conditions and opportunities
there.
This particular circular, which IS
one of series to be isued along the
same lines, deals principally with
conditions in Chile and Argentine Re-
by Mr.. Onkins, and gives much val
liable first-hand information with ref
erenee to shipping facilities at the
principal cities, the names of the
foremost shipping and receiving
agents, the more important articles of
import and export and the commodi-
ties of which the different shipping
Germs make specialties. The prin-
cipal lines of industry are also set
forth, as well as the natural re-
sources of the counttes. According
to the report, the merchants and deal
ers of the South American countries
are anxious for better service from
the Gulf ports.
OF the cities of the southern hemis-
rhere, Buenos Aires, the capital of
the Argentine Republic, with a pop
ulation of 100000, is the largest and
most imortant. 1t is a busy up-tp-
date place, the business section of
which reminds one of New York or
Chicago. An ample system of sub
ways built by an English company
has just been completed to relieve
the congestion in the business dis
trict. There is need for American
banks there, as at present the Unit
ed States must depend entirely upon
European banks to make their collec-
tons, thereby disclosing to Europe
their business affairs. The trade of
Argentina at present is controlled
largely by Great Britain and Ger
many, although many big United
States firms have representatives
there.
Mr.. Dinkins believes that the open
ing of the Panama canal will enable
the United States to do much larg
er business with Chile, where the
English have decidedly the better of
the trade at present. Santiago, the
capital of the country, has a popula-
ticn of 100000, but most of the
business is done through Valparaiso,
the present saport. The latter has a
population of $4,000, and most of
the principal business houses in
Santiapo and other DOints are
branches of Valparaiso concerns.
At present, financial conditions are
bad in Chile, Peru and Bolivia and
business in these countries is largely
at standstill.

GORUND-HOG NOT AN IN
FALLIBLE WEATHER PROPHET

Yesterday was Candlemas day, or
the occasion when the grounding is
supposed to emerge from his period of
Information, and look over weather
conditions. Yesterday was a bright,
spring like day, and he would have
found it hard to avoid seeing his
shadow. That is supposed to be an
indication that we shall have late
spring.
Rule Not Reliable.
Tradition tells the world that Feb
ruary is the day when the ground
hog, or as he is sometimes known the
woodchuek, crawls from his burrow
and predicts what the weather will
be for the next six weeks to come,
whether il will be an early or late
spring. But scientific men of recent
years have consigned Mr.. Ground
hog to membership in the Ananias
club, for figures show that he had
been wrong many more times than
he has been right.
1t was believed in years past that
the grounding made his first appear
ance February from his winter s
hiding, and if on that day he saw his
shadow, he would return to his hole
anu tHtIt Nuhiu nc a. idtt SpfiHR. II
on the other hand he did not see his
shadow, there would be an early
spring.
Now scientific men, especially those
employed in the weather bureaus of
the United States, have taken it upon
themselves to "fgure out the dope'
on Mr.. Groundhog and ascertain how
close to form he was running Tney
found that the grounding has made
a mighty poor showing in the sea
sons averages. He is about a so to
i shot with no hackers among the
ones who know the game. The wealth.
er men did not hedge any on the
grounding, but took their figures
from days which, the records show,
were all sunshine, the partly cloudy
days being eliminated, and it was
found that the grounding and the
weather and arrival of spring got to-
gether just twice in the time covered
by the records.
