GOLDBANKS NINE is
PRODUCING ORE

Assayer Oastler and Sam Baldwin
made a trip to Goldbanks in the
Oastler car yesterday, says the Silver
State. They went out to that miner
al belt to examine the F1ynn-Baidwin
galena-silver-gold property. The
claims are only a prospect, but show
every earmark of making a high -cl :ss
mine in which the predominant val
ues r lead. The lead is both of the
and sulphide sort and in
instances the pure cube galena is of
a 70 per cent grade. 1t has been
opened by a short crosscut tunnel
and a winze sunk to a depth of SO
feet on the vein. which is wedge
shaped and at the bottom of the
winze shows four feet of a ledge
with ores through the full width,
with nOdules of the cube galena lib
orally sprinkled through it, making
the full exposure of the vein of COM
mercial importance.
THE property has the merit of a
mine." according to Oastler, "but as
yet is only a prospect deserving de-
velopment work and deeper explora-
ton. The conditions are such as to
justify the prediction, and with the
right sort of work the property will
prove a profit maker for owners and
operators"

FRANK GOLDEN ESTATE
APPRAISED AT $403, 800

Strenuous objection to the approx

MAN Of MYSTERY
IS IDENTIFIED
EARL W. LIES, MINING ENGI-
NEER. HAD INTERESTS IN
GOLDFTELD

CHICAGO, June s. = A man of
mystery" who has been known only
as j. C. R." by the officials of the
Oak Park infirmary and by the hos
pital attaches at Rochester, Mimi,
from which place he escaped, has
been identified as Earl w. Lies, a
mining engineer who has been miss
ing since 1906.
The Identification was made by
Lies mother, Mrs. H. E. Pitkin of
this city, and the proof was consider
ed complete when the man revealed
an obscure scar from a cut on his
right foot which he suffered when a
boy. Lies showed feeble signs of
recognition, although his vocal cords
have long been paralyzed and he was
unable to speak. The man of mys-
terry was found unconscious on the
street last November.
A brother and sister later affirm
ed their mothers Identification. They
said he was a mining engineer with
interests at Goldfield, New, who dis
appeared in 1906. Some time after
that a man with voice gone and his
memory all but a blank, appeared
at a Rochester, Mimi, hospital.
When pressed he wrote 81. c. R."
and later disappeared. He was next
found in Chicago.
Lies gave evidence of affectionate
remembrance of his mother. His
brother and sister at first thought
him too old. Mrs. Pitkin identified
him as her son by a former husband.
Mrs. Pitkin is a woman of wealth.
That Lies recalled incidents of his
boyhoOd wee indicated by the GEES
lures u assent or negation he made.
When he left Chicago in 1906 he
had $4,000 to complete the payment
for machinery for mines in Goldfield.
In the fall of that year Mrs. Pitkin
received a letter from Minneapolis
saying he was on his way home.
That was the last she heard from
him.
He was apparently stricken with
paralysis or injured on the train.
There was nothing to identify him,
and he remained at Wasaca, Mimi,
for several years and was finally
taken to Rochester.
Mrs. Pitkin made her identified
ton before a clinic at Rush medical
college.

WHITE PINE COUNTY (,
CAMP MAY COME BACK

Cherry Creek, in White Pine cOun-
ty, forty miles north of Ely. may be
placed prominently back on the min
ing map of Nevada if all goes well
with present operations now on
there and others pending for the flu
ture, according to j. H. Leishman,
state representative of the Wide West
Mining company, which has valuable
holdings in the old camp. He was
in Salt Lake yesterday. a guest at
the Cullen. The West Side is locat-
ed two miles southwest from the
town. 1t has shipped $4,000 in gold
bullion. The old Nevada Star is still
operating. But the most interesting
feature of the camp right now is the
recent strike of $1,000 ore in the
Kelsey group near camp.
Mr.. Leishman says hat some have
been inclined to discount the gold
strike, but he believes it is genuine.
He thinks within the next few weeks
a shipment will be forwarded to
Salt Lake Valley smelters which will
prove the worth of the discovery.
For the past three years George o.
Kelsey has been pegging away in
Egan canyon. five miles southwest
from the Cherry Creek postoffice. He
was after depth on a promising out
cropping assure in the quartz
lite. He caught it recently at 800
feet. This gives a vertical depth of
about sixty feet. The rich streak is
several inches wide. One assay went
5000 to the ton. There was a lit
tie silver with the gold. There is a
shale bed near the assure.
At Cherry Creek the Nevada Star
has started up its mill. 1t is hand
ling ore from the 700 level. The
vein is six feet wide. The first car
load of fifty tom of concentrates has
been forwarded to the smelter al
Murray. 1t is expected that it will
average better than $50 a ton. main
ly silver. The mill is handling forty
tons daily with two shifts.-Herald-

FOR OIL
AND GAS IN j. 5.

That the geologist ear save to the
practical oil man large sums yearly
in useless drilling is a fact which is
becoming nor and more clearly rec
ognized. 1t is possible for him to
determine from rock exposures the
location and extent of rock folds
seem to constitute the princi-
pal condition of governing the &C.
emulation of oil and gas where they
are present in the region. In most
fields oil and gas are found in anti
clines or upfolds of the rocks, so that
it is obviously bad Practice in test
ing a new field to begin by drilling
in the downfolds or synclines, yet
this is often done. In order to point
out the most favorable localities for
tests by the drill, and to save to the
oil men and to the country at large
part at least of the enormou sums
uselessly expended in drilling in
States geological survey is making in
vestigations of untried territory. The
structures outlined in such ~investiga-
tions are those most favorable in the
area of oil accumulation. OF course
oil and gas may not be present in the
region; but if they are there, they
will probably be found in these
structures. If the latter are barren,
there is little prospect that oil will
be found in the vicinity.
During the past field season an
area of about $50 square miles in
southern Oklahoma was examined
by a party in charge of Carroll H.
Wegemann of the United States ge-
illogical survey, in cooperation with
the Oklahoma geological survey. The
area is north of the Petrolia field of
Texas, northeast of Burkburnett, and
25 miles west of the new Healdton
field in Oklahoma, which is at pres
ent attracting so much attention. 1t
lies north OF Red river and east Of
the region described a the Grand
field district in Bulletin SAT of the
United States geological survey, and
extends to the Rock Island railway
on the east and north.
The most important conclusions of
the federal survey are given in a
brief statement just made public.
with descriptions of the principal
anticline and the designating of the
most promising areas for trial drill
ing, by section, township and range,
in order that the land in the
region and drillers may be put in
possession of this information with
the least possible delay. No assur-
ance a be given that the anticline
contains oil. 1t is, however, as re-
CARDS it's structure, more favorable
to oil accumulation than any other
in the field examined and might ad-
vantageously be tested first when
drilling in the area is undertaken.
The final report is in preparation
but copies of the preliminary state
ment may now be obtained on appli-
cation to the director, U. S. geologi-
cal survey.

ROAD WORK TO Be
DONE BY CONTRACT
PLAIN HOW THEY PROPOSE
TO USE FUNDS

Albert Burch and A. H. Howe, gen.
eral manager and secretary and
treasurer, respectively, of the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company,
held a conference recently with the
members of the board of county COM
missioners relative to the special
$4,000 road bond election which
has been called for June 80. /.
Messrs. Burch and Howe inquired
of the commissioners as to how they
propose to improve the roads of the
county, providing the voters of the
county cast their ballots in favor of
the expenditure. District Attorney
M. A. Diskin, who was present at the
conference, replied for the commits
sioners by reading a section of the
statutes which provides that the work
must be done by contract to the low.
est bidder. The commissioners stat.
ed the law would be carried out to
the letter and that the work will be
done in a thorough, business-like
manner. The commissioners further
explained that at present the county
spends a considerable amount oil
money each year in repairing and
patching up the roads and that after
the thoroughfares are once put in
shape by the expenditure of the
amount of money named In the call
for the election. their upkeep will be
nominal. Messrs. Burch and Howe
were much pleased with. the result OF
the conference and announced that
they we're heartily in favor of voting
