has been a little friction among some
of the owners of this ground, and
last year there was an attachment
suit brought. Mr.. Hilton informs us
that he is here to straighten out all
liabilities of the concern, which are
few, and make a mine out of the
holdings.
Work is progressing on the Mon
tana-Yerington, under bond to the
Gum Thompson people, with very en-
couraging results. A raise is now
being made from the 160-foot level
to the surface. When this work
is completed the shaft will be
dropped down another 100 feet.
Should the showing be as good there
as it is now the company will come
over into the flat and start a big
working tunnel. Upon the shaft will
| be placed the big gasoline engine
moved to the ground last week, a
compressor added and air drills put
in. The work on this ground is all
being lone by contract and John
SOH1IueTS has the COutTdCJ.
Work on the Reno-Yerington prop
erty under lease and bond to the
same people, is being pushed ahead
as rapidly as possible. This work Is
also being done by contract.
I u. F. Carson, the Mason Pass mine
owner, came in from the Pass this
morning. He reports things rather
quiet in that section and says the
only one doing any work out there
are the Constantine brothers who are
J developing their claims and showing
up some very nice ground. The boys
certainly deserve success as they
have stayed with the property for a
long time, working it as best they
could with no great amount of cap
ital at their command. They are
entitled to a good big reward, and
will undoubtedly get it some day if
they continue pegging along.
The Greenwood company, recent
ly Incorporated, and operating north
east of the Nevada-Douglas, is evil
IDENTIFY getting close to the point
where it is expected to encounter the
ore opened in the shaft sunk from
the surface. At the present time
they are getting some ore although
they have quite a distance to run to
the objective point. Some Of the
hardest rock in the district has been
encountered and this has made prog
ress rather slow, but the next 80 or
40 days should make a satisfactory
showing.
The carload of ore shOpped from
the New Yerington a couple of weeks
ago by C. A. Moulton, who has a
lease on the property, ran a little
better than 9 per cent in the red met
al. Mr.. Moulton is almost ready to
make another shipment of two car
loads to the smelter, and believes
this second lot will do fully as well,
if not better, than the first lot-Yer'
ington Times.

NEW chinese MINISTER COMING
TO UN|TEDIS Estates NEXT WEEK

is now an accomplished young lady
and is particularly proud of the
American part of her education. Mrs.
Shah also accompanies the minister
and has the advantage of several
years spent in America.
Mr.. Shah comes from a notable
family, his father having been tutor
of the late Emperor Kwang Hsue.
After completing his education, he
entered official life at Picking as a
member of the former board OF
works. Later he was in the diplo
matte service at Toxic and then Chi
nese consul at New York. After
wards he became secretary of the
foreign Office at Picking, later direc-
tor of the mint at Tien Tsin, and
then superintendent of customs and
commissioner of foreign affairs in
Newchang. Mr.. Shah and his family
are accompanied by an extensive
staff of officials who will take up

FAILS TO
FILE APPEAL BOND
MARKS END OF ROCHESTER,
MINES LITIGATION; COM
PANY TO REORGANIZE.

The Rochester Mines company liti-
cation is apparently endou.
John F. Cowan, late yesterday af-
ternoon received a telegram from
Carson, New, from Samuel Plat,
United States district attorney, say
ing that attorneys for Joseph F.. Men
eel appeared before the court there
yesterday and asked a second extern
sion of time in which Mcneil might
file his appeal bond, yesterday being
the last day of the extension previ-
ously granted. This was refused by
the court and the time limit expired
without the required bond being
filed.
This action marks the end of the
litigation, and also the end of Mem
zel's control of the company. Nenzel
was ordered by the court to turn over
the 10000 shares of stock awarded
George and Stephens to the clerk of
the court for disposition under the
decree rendered March IL.
This is the case that was institut-
ed by George and Stephens, who
claimed to have been partners or
Mcneil, and hat Mcneil was acting
as agent for them. In the petition
to the court these men sought to re-
cover 250,000 shares of the compa'
ny stock, and they were allowed 21O.-
600 shares.
AS the stock now stands, Mcneil
is said to have left about 100000
shares, on which he is reported to
have borrowed 100000. George and
Stephens, with John F.. Cowan and
his associates, own the remainder of
the shares that have been issued,
which amounts to about 100000.
There is in the treasury about 49,
900 shares, and as NenZel does not
appear to be in accord with his for
mer partners, or the old stockholders
of the company, it seems certain that
the management of the company will
be taken out of his hands.
1t is understood the reorganization
of the company will be effected as
speedily as posible.-Salt Lake Tri-
bune.

REPORTS OF Mine DEVELOPMENT
in YERINGION CAMP PROPERTIES

The Piute Flat section of the dis
trict is quite al active one these
days and development is showing up
some very rich ore. Charles Bovard
and En- Morris are opening up what
promises to be a mine of some pro-
portion. Another vein was encount-
cred on their ground some days ago,
while doing some surface work,
which is said to be the best so far
uncovered so far as richness is con-
cerned. Frank Bugbee and associ-
ates are still developing their prop
erty and have a fine showing. Frank
Meyers, Bud Daniels and Chas.
Young are also working On their
property. This property has not been
developed to any great depth as yet,
but a fine grade of shipping ore is
being taken out. Ed Ross and part
ners are doing considerable work on
their ground and the development
shows it to be in the shipping class.
AL Bovard is working his claims,
which lie between the knight ground
and the old Kaufman property. There
are others who are doing consider
able work on good prospects. The
showings, from the grass roots down
to the deepest workings, indicate
that the Piute Flat section is going
to have some mines of Importance.
If such showings were found in Alas
ka, Mexico, Bolivia or Peru, or any
place which was inaccessible and it
would cost a fortune to get to, peo-
lle would be flocking there by the
hundreds.
Development work on the Buck
eye group, owned by J.. l.. Mcmahon
and Attorney E. E. Hull, is showing
up some very good ore. A tunnel
is being run on the vein and follow
ing under the groupings and the ore
being taken out is of a good shipping
grade, that is three feet of it.. This
ore should cut through about SO feet
back of the deep shaft which was
sunk some years ago by former own
ers. At the SO and 110-fOot levels
cross-cuts were run for some dis
lance, cutting through into a big
body of low-grade ore. 1t is proposed
by the present owners to begin cross
cutting on the 250-foot level and run
out to pick up the rich ore they have
demonstrated near the surface. This
will give them a large block of stop
ing ground. At the present time they
are feeling their way in a safe and
sure manner and confidently expect
to have one of the good producers OF
the district in the lear future.
C. H. Hilton was an arrival from
Denver on Wednesday of this week
and proceeded to the Denver-Nevada
property on the west side where he
will make preparations to again do
some development on the property.
The company is composed mainly of
Denver and Colorado people and they
nave some very promising ground in
one of the best sections of the dis
trict. For some months past there

GOLDFTELD is VISITED
BY SLIGHT EARTHQUAKES

GOldfield was visited by an earth
quake of slight duration at 1853
o'clock this morning. The tremor
was from west to east and lasted for
q second or two. The shock was felt
by several residents of the town, one
Of whom was asleep and was awaken
ed by it. The woodwork in one
room of a local office building was
cracked by the movement. About a
year ago a slight earthquake was
felt in Goldfield at about 9:15 a. m,
but no damage resulted.

DIRECTOR OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
EXPOSES FAKE OIL co. PROMOTERS

logists as being valuable petroleum
lands Wouldn't the ordinary read
er conclude that the eminent geo.
logists referred to we're those of the
government?
Aged Government Report
THE fact is, the geological sur
vey made a careful study of the Dem
Yer basin some 20 years ago and pub
lished the results in a book known
as Monograph 81. At that time there
had been no successful oil develop
ment anywhere in the region examin-
ed and there is no mention in the
monograph of oil in this vicinity.
Except in the Boulder field, which
lies 20 miles or more from this land,
no successful oil well has yet been
drilled in the region about Denver,
and although the survey has made
several later geologic examinations
in the Denver basin for one pur-
pose or another, none of its geo.
logists believe that valuable deposits
of oil or gas are likely to be found
in the vicinity of Denver. Certainly
there is nothing to indicate an oil
field east of Aurora on the lands
covered by this company. Monograph
81 shows that this land is SO situated
geologically as to be u%nfavorable for
oil accumulation and directly o n
tradicts the geologic illustration pub
lished by the company, which shows
tho orocf of on onfio1inn nnntoinin q
an oil lake under the company's land.
Although their advertisements would
convey the impression that this geo.
logic cross section was drawn by gov
ernmeut biologists, when pursued by
persistent inquiries the managing di-
rector of the company admits that
The geological drawing which you
refer to-, showing a lake of oil pre-
dicted east of Denver, to the best of
my knowledge was not made by a
government geologist.' In the same
letter he says: The only govern
mem geological report that we have
had access to has been Monograph
No. 81, United States geological re-
port on the Denver BASIN Think
of the nerve of such advertising on
the strength of a report in which oil
in this neighborhood is not even
mentioned!
Cornered, But Plausible
This company officer says further,
regarding the statement that The
United States biologists have made
Investigations and reported favor
ably This is not Il own statement
but is quoted in our letter as coming
to us from other sources. We have
nOt said anything in III correspond
ence that the government had made
any Investigations of our property,
and we do not wish to give out this
impression Well, maybe they do not
wish to, but their statements could
not we'll have conveyed that impress
sion more distinctly without violat-
ing the postal laws.
Il suppose it is inevitable that
such schemes as this should rob
thousands, but my advice to all
wOuld-be investors is, when you are
told that the government has in
dorsed an oil proposition write to
the government and find out before
you put up your money!

RESUME OF Mine OPERATIONS
ON THE COMS7OCK PROPERTIES

! At the Savage on the d street tun-
mel level, a west drift has been
started at the bottom of the winze
and extended Is feet, the face show
ing quartz of a low assay value. One
set of timbers was placed.
The Yellow Jacket mill in Gold
Hill ran steadily all of the week and
/ received at the ore bins, 997 tons of
Jacket, and 70 IONS of Belcher mine
ore. From the last run of ore one
railroad car of concentrates was
shipped to the smelter. At the
Jacket mine bins, lao tons of Crown
! Point ore were received, and repairs
were made to the main shaft and in
cline of the Jacket company.
At the joint Crown Point-Belcher
incline, at the 1600-foot level, the
water now stands at a point 81 feet
below the station, and the incline,
below the level, has been %reopened
and repaired for a distance of five
feet. A bad piece of ground was en-
countered at this point, which has
required much timbering, a large
amount of caved ground having been
removed from the incline to date.
The 1900 east cross-cut in the Belch-
er, has also been %reopened and tim
bered for a distance of Is feet, and
! on the 15OO-foot level, from raise
No. 2, located 40 feet in east cross
cut No. 2, work continued on the
sill and first floors, and rock broken
down has been stored temporarily in
the cross-cut. The Belcher at the
surface, shipped 60 tons of ore from
the shaft to the gloryhOle.
The Crown Point company during
the week has delivered 140 tons OF
ore averaging $5.42 per ton to the
Yellow Jacket mine bins, and on the
1300-foot level, in the advance OF
north drift No. / for II feet, saved
III ears of ore of low grade. The
, total length of the drift is now zoe
feet. From raise No. /, located on
this level, there was saved LAG cars
of ore from the sill and first floors,
the average being of low grade. On
the 14OO-foot level, No. 1 stope is
being filled, and a cross-cut driven
on the 13OO-foot level to facilitate
the filling of the lower floors of the
stope.
The report of the Overman COM
pany shows that on the 120O-foot
level of the mine, the west cross-cut
started at the junction of the south
west and northeast drifts, was ad-
vanced for a distance of eight feet
to the 40-foot point. The face is all
in quartz.
At the Confidence-Challenge-Im-
perial shaft, the east crOss-cut start
ed opposite the west cross-cut in the
south drift from the shaft station on
the 2OO-foot level, was extended for
a distance of eight feet; total length
20 feet. The face is in quartz and
porphyry.
On the 12O0-foOt level of the Gale
donia, the Accompaniment raise
from the northwest drift was carried
up 10 feet, through quartz of low as
say value; total height 40 feet. For
the New York company o nthe same
level, the southwest drift from the
east cross-cut was carried forward
Is feet through pOrphyry and
quartz; total length 35 feet

CLEANING UP THE CAMP

Fire Chief E. o. Ringer, who has
just finished another journey over
the camp on a health inspection
stated today he was well pleased
with the manner in which the people
of Goldfield are assisting him in his
work of cleaning up the camp and
keeping it in that condition. He
states. however, that though some
ave been faithful there are still a
few who have been recalcitrant.

The ore recovery for the weel;
from the Ophir mine was Of a low
grade, it being extracted in the
course of development work in the
east and Hardy veins on the 1850
and 24O0-foot levels, 141 mine cars,
estimated at 127 tons, of an average
assay value of $11.03 per ton, being
hoisted. On the 2400-foot level, at
a point 40 feet in the east cross-cut
from the main southwest drift, drift
ing to the northeast continued for a
distance of 10 feet; total length SS
feet, with the present face in vein
porphyry. From this advance, II
cars gave an average of 1898 per
ton. On the 235O-foot level, the
east vein drift was advanced for Is
feet to the 65-foot point, and the
Hardy vein drift 9 feet to the 57-foot
point, and from these two openings
the ore saved included 124 mine cars
assaying $11.45 per ton. Milling has
been underway all of the week, and
$50 tons of Ophir mine are, and "a
IONS of dump ore were shipped to
the mill. The situation in the Ophir
may be summed up as showing a con-
tiuuation of values in the two veins
being followed in strong, well de-
fined formations, and with the pos
sibilities considered favorable for
opening better values again ahead.
The Consolidated Virginia, on the
o-An foot 1nua1 hos advanced tho
northeast drift from the 13S-foot
point in the east cross-cut from the
shaft station, for a distance of Is
feet; total length lis feet. The face
is in porphyry and quartz, the quartz
showing assays of from 40 cents to
81 per ton. The usual repairs were
made to the main shaft.
The United Comstock Pumping As
ISOLATION has completed opening up
and retimbering the $500 north drift
from the Con. Virginia winze, and
this week, has placed an air tight
bulkhead on the $500 Osbiston drift
from the Con. Virginia winze station,
which has had the immediate effect
of greatly improving the ventilation.
A considerable amount of repairs to
the Starrett pumps has been neces-
sary, but the electrically driven
Jumps have run successfully all of
the week.
The Mexican mill a 80 per cent
of the time the past week, and
crushed 800 ions of Mexican ore of
~ average assay value of 1857 per
The apparent average extrac-
ton for the week was 92k per cent.
At the Monte CristO mine, 800
cars of ore we're hoisted from the
various slopes, and 273 tons ship
ped from the mine to the Mexican
mil lover the tram. On the 31st OF
March, it is stated that the leasing
company operating this property.
ceased operations, and turned the
property over to it's owners, Charles
Buffers & Co., Ltd. Tramming OF
ore was continued from the storage
piles at the Monte Cristo mine to
the Mexican mill.
The Sierra Nevada company con-
tinued cutting out for the winze sta.
ton in the northeast drift on the
25OO-foot level, and regular sinking
will be underway in the near future.
No work is reported done in the
Mexican or Union Con. mines.

HORSES GIVE SERUM
TO CUT WARS TOLL
Product From Animals on Farm
Near Detroit All Shipped to
Europe.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 4.-Quartered
on some of the finest pasture land In
Michigan, at Rochester. near Detroit.
and maintained in life of luxury and
ease, a drove Of magnificent horses arc
daily giving their blood to save the
lives of soldiers fighting on the battle
fields of Europe. These animals have
no other purpose in life-they merely
give their blood that the soldiers may
live.
The horses are the property of large
drug manufacturing concern. They are
used to produce anti-tetanic serum.
which is administered to prevent and
cure the dread disease tetanus. The
entire output Of the serum manufac-
tured from the blood OF these horses
is now shipped to Europe for injection
into the soldiers suffering or threaten
ed with tetanus.
During the month OF October, the COM
many shipped to the battlefields of Eu-
rope more than ten times as much OF
the serum az is normally exported
The method of manufacturing the
serum is complicated and the process
takes more than nine months from start
to finish. Briefly, the method Is this:
Tetanus germs, which are merely veg
ctable plants. are propagated on a large
scale in the laboratories. These germs are
then placed in receptacle about 40
feet square, which Is filled with beef
soup, or bouillon, manufactured from
beef and glucose. This mixture. then is
covered with sterile oil to prevent air
from getting at the germs, and is per.
mitted to stand for three weeks. during
which period the tetanus germs multi
pIy into the millions. These germs 80
crete poison.
The next step is the filtration Of the
mixture through paper and unglazed
porcelain. This operation eliminates the
germs and leaves a. poisonous soup.
