BUCKSKIN ORE SIM
liar TO NATIONAL

The National mining camp was
found and located by j. u. Workman
and Lew Davis in the year 1907 and
was let out to leasers the following
year of 1908, about 40 in number, on
different locations. Charleston noun
tain, where several leases were let,
Importance and that was about the
month of August, 1908. The values
were at ruby silver ore, which occur
red in tale in well defined fissure
vein running about 5000 to the ton
in silver, but later on,at a depth of 81
feet a very high-grade electrun ore
was found by Gayer and Donaldson,
the original owners and first discover
ers of high grade on Charleston hill.
The values were almost equally divid-
ed in gold and silver, running over
5000 to the ton.
The leasee did not accomplish much
in the year 1908, nor did he in 1909,
owing to troubles which arose be-
tween the leaser and mine owner,
which retarded develoument until
settled in the spring of 1910. Then
wcrk was at once resumed on a large
scale and millions of money extracted
from this wonderful. bonanza
The most prominent and best min
eralized mountain in this district lies
in southeasterlv direction from Ma
tional, known as Buckskin mountain.
With an elevation of over 5000 feet
above sea level and Senator Bell and
the late George Ward had made a
number of mineral locations on the
east slope of Buckskin mountain long
prior to the discovery of the Ma
tional camp. Phe distance is about
two and one-half to three miles in a
southeasterly direction. The showing
they had was good, but owing to the
great excitement over the discovery
of high grade made at the National
camp not much attention to that por-
tion of the district was paid until the
summer of 1913, when Senator Bell,
after persistent development, disclos-
ed to the outside world a strike of
the same Importance in fssure vein
from two and one-half to four feet
in width, showing not only a high
grade electrum ore, similar to the Ma
tional Mines, running into the thous-
ands, but a splendid average milling
ore associated with it the entire
width of the vein, which makes the
strike from a mining standpoint very
important.

DEEP SNOW Gov.
ERS BUCKSKIN

Henry Meyers, who is fully con-
versant with National Buckskin,
Spring valley and other northern
Humboldt county mineralized points
and centers of production of gold
and silver, came into Winnemucca to-
day from Buckskin. He says snow
is deep and storms for the past TWEEN
ty day tempestuous. In order to
make the trip he had to use snow
shoes. He says it was worth while.
Speaking of Buckskin he said:
81 have been In and over this ter
ritory for some years. As quickly as
the snow permits ! will be back in
there. My returning will be for
cause. This cause is that after years
prospecting and mining all over
North and South America / could
find no mining opportunities better
featured than that Of Buckskin noun
tain and its surroundings. 1t is part
of a district that has produced mil
lions and in my opinion this is a
small item to what the production
and gain will be in the next few
years. The mining opportunities on
Buckskin from my observations and
examinations are simply out of sight.
The Bell property stands at the
head of all evidence. Present proof
allows the assertion that the coming
two years will in all likelihood see a
bigger and richer production from
this mine than what National Mines
has added to the world s production
Of gold and silver. This is strong,
but the evidence is in the Bell mine
to Justify such view.
"Other properties that present ev-
cry ear mark of greatness and justi-
fy mine prediction the profit and
gain this by means is the Buekskin
Mary and the National Buckskin
Mines company holdings, controlled
by Cliff Welshons, Sam Flynn, jim
Martin and w. J. Bradley. This prop
erty tattamountly has every geologic
and mineralized condition upon which
to predict great things To my mind
il will be like the Bell property, final
ly be big winner and make big
money for those who had faith in it
and contributed to the support of
making the rich productive mine /
feel is within the National Buekskin
area. Other properties and holdings
Justify stiff development and proof
work for Buekskin mountain is not
restricted TO one mine proposition. -
National Buckskin is destined for
clear gain and Flynn, eft al, like the
Others on that great rich mountain,
are fortunate.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST
PROMINENT LOCAL PHYSICIAN

Yesterday morning DR.. G. U. Hall,
surgeon, appeared in Judge Dunn S
court, to answer to complaint eharg-
ing manslaughter. Bonds were fixed
at $1,000, which were furnished, and
the preliminary examination set for
next Wednesday morning, February
4, at IL o'clock.
The case is the outcome of the
death of Mrs. w. p. Owens, which oc-
cured Sunday. An autopsy was held
Tuesday on the remains of deceased,
and later warrant was sworn out by
the husband for DIR. Halls arrest
The cause of death is said to have
been peritonitis, following childbirth.
Dr. afIll was the attending physician,
and is charged in the complaint with
criminal earelessness during and after
the birth
When seen this morning by a Sill
yer State representative and asked if
he cared to make any statement in
connection with the ease, DR.. Hall re-
piled:

PRtDI(TS LARGE PRODU(-
TON FOR COPPER CANYON

f. f. Murphy is in Winnemucca
from Copper canyon. Murphy is full
to the brim over the wealth and great
rich placer snowings south of Battle
Mountain. In every essential Muir
ply says that the properties point to
prolonged and ultimate gold produe-
tion equal to what American canyon
produced and that record looms be
yond the $20,000,000 mark.
Particularly is he enthusiastic over
the fabulous richness of the ground
owned by Scott and Healey, now in
the courts owing to the Glasgow &
Western contesting the right of the
locators for placer.
Murphy predicts lively times and a
wondrous gold production during the
coming season. In entity, he says,
the Battle Mountain district will be
a winner and nothing will exceed the
distribution of fortune and wealth as
win the exterior placer diggings of
that broad field of gold, silver, cop
per, lead and placer gold.
The spirit of fortune and success he
says prevails in those fields for those
who will emulate Buekskin National
and Rochester.

TAKING OUT GOLD AT
KINGS RIVER MINE

Elias Jones has returned from
Kings river to Winnemucca. He has
for years off and on been working at
Kings river, where in the crudest
manner he has been extracting gold
and laying up a competence for old
age. He predicts that Kings river,
with proper development, will make
one of Humboldt county's best and
most productive mining sections.
New blood with capital is getting in
there and in consequence he prophe
sizes a strong development movement
for 1914 and large production of
gold.

THREE DECISIONS
BY JUDGE QUICKER

Yesterday Judge Ducker handed
down three decisions. The most inn
portant was in the case entitled
Johannes Anderson, ct al. VS. w. NJ.
Kearney, State Engineer.
Some time since fifty of the water
users of the Lovelock valley brought
suit against the state engineer and
obtained an order from the court re-
straining him from adjudicating the
water rights along the Humboldt
river, under the provisions of what is
popularly known as the Carpenter
law, passed by the last legislature.
The decision is on the demurrer to
the plaintiff IS complaint and a motion
by the defendant to dissolve the tenn
porary injunction.
In effect the decision upholds the
eonstitutionality of the Carpenter law
in some respects and declares it un-
&C Institutional in others.
he law was attacked on several
constitutional grounds, namely: That
it conferred judicial functions upon
non judicial officer; that it deprived
persons of their property without due
process Of law; and that it deprived
the District Courts of the state of
their original jurisdiction and con
ferred upon these courts appellate
jurisdiction in certain cases contrary
to the state constitution.
Judge Ducker upheld tn econstitu-
tionality of the law on the first three
grounds and declared it unconstitu-
tional on the last named ground. a
number of the sections of the law
were held unconstitutional as depriv-
ing the District Courts of the state of
their original jurisdiction in certair
classes of cases exclusively given
such courts by the state constitution
end conferring upon them appellate
jurisdiction prohibited by the eonsti-
tuition in such eases.
The defendant Is motion to dissolve
the temporary injunction was denied.
The demurrer to the complaint was
also overruled and the defendant
given thirty Gays in WI
the complaint. An appeal to the Su-
preme Court will now be taken for a

{. |. LOMAX MAY
GO TO CHICAGO

That a proposal has been made to
r. l.. Lomax OF san Francisco, pas
senger traffic manager of the Western
Pacific railroad, looking toward his
hlling the Craftsmanship of the Trans
continental Passenger association,
was admitted by Lomax last night,
says yesterdays Chronicle. Beyond
the mere statement, however, that he
had been approached with the query
as to whether he would accept the
Craftsmanship, Lomax would not go.
lie said he could not discuss at this
time whether he would leave the
Western Pacific to take the new posi-
tion.
The seeking out of Lomax to fill
the vacant Craftsmanship with the
passenger association is due, it is
said, to the movement on foot to join
the passenger association with the
Transcontinental Freight association,
and to the desire to fill the position,
with its double responsibilities, with q
person of such experience and ability
as Lomax is known to possess.
Other candidates for the position
are E. l.. Bevington and w. ID. Count
iss, both of Chicago. The Transcon-
tinental Freight and Passenger as
sociations are made up of the men of
the respective departments of rail-
read work west of Chicago, st. Louis,
Memphis and New Orleans.
Tramps Fight Officers at Elko.
In attempting to arrest three tough
tramps in the Western Pacific yards
last night special railroad watchman
L. j. Dunbar and Deputy Sheriff
Cotant had battle royal before they
subdued the three men, says yester-
days Elko Free Press.
Early this morning he saw several
men in the yards. The first two he
tackled were Joe Visi and Rudolph
Adamovich. They We're taken to jail
and when searched each had a big
knife, brass knuckles and one car
ried dark lantern.
After Dunbar had got the gunmen
safely slowed away in Jail, he went
back to round up the other hobos in
the Western Pacific yards. There
were three more left, and they show
ed fight right from the start, but were
finally landed in Jail.
