ANOTHER VESSEL
Kroonland, American, for Ma
Piles and Greece, Copper
Laden, Is Held Up.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-The American
ship Kroonland, from New York for
Naples and Greece, copper laden, has
been detained at Gibraltar by British
authorities.
AS copper is listed by the British
foreign officers as contraband, II is
assumed the attitude of that govern
ment will be similar in the case of
another American vessel which carried
copper to Holland. In that case when
Holland assured Britain the copper
would not be reshipped the objection
was withdrawn. Action in the case Of
the Kroonland will be deferred pend
ing full information on all the facts.

FINAL ARGUMENT
ON STEEL TRUST

Philadelphia, Pa. Oct. 2S.-Conclud-
ing arguments were begun today in
the government suit to dissolve the
United States Steel corporation. John
Johnson of Philadelphia summed up
for the company and Jacob Dickinson
for the government. Johnson said the
prosecution picked out here and there
something suspicious. but overlooked
a great mass of human evidence which
shows under oath the true state of af-
fairs of the steel industry. Dickin-
son replied that there was never yet a
great combination brought to the bar
of justice that did not seek to hide its
head under the claim that to strike 1t

Operations of Maritz.
Colonel Maritz's revolt was an
nounced in London Oct. 13. His plan
was to found an independent republic.
and the Union government, with Botha
at its head, declared martial law,
blaming Germany for the uprising.
Among the followers of Maritz were
said to be many Germans and some
German artillery. Colonel Maritz was
accused of entering into an agreement
TO cede the Walfsh bay territory to
the Germans. Maritz, Transvaaler'
also fought IN the Boer war, but he has
always been known as an irreconcil-
able. Since he revolted few skir-
mishes with the loyal British forces
have been reported. and it was de-
clared that the MaritZ followers had
been practically dispersed.
Brigadier General Beyers was also
a noted figure in the South African
war and was chairman of the Vereenig-
ing peace conference. Last September
he resigned as commandant general
of the Union defense force because OF
his disapprovaI of the action of Great
Britain in sending commanders 10

AUGUSTUS TILDEN FILES
AN ELECTORS CERTIFICATE

The electors certificate Of Aug
ustus Tilden of Goldfield as an indie
pendent nominee for the office of
Judge of the district court of the
seventh judicial district of this
state, comprising the counties OF
Esmeralda and Mineral, was yester-
day filed in duplicate with the coun-
ty clerks of the two counties. The
certificate contained the signatures
of 367 electors of the district, which
is considerably in excess of ten per
cent of the vote cast at the last
election, as required by the election
laws.
AS there will be no nomination on
the republican ticket this year for
district judge, the contest will be
between the candidates of the pro-
gressive and democratic parties and
Mr.. Tilden.

YfRINGTON DISTRICT MINES ARE
CONTINUING TO SHOW ACTIVITY

The Constantine brothers, who
have been operating their group of
copper claims on the east side of the
district for some months past, are
very much encouraged with the out
look for the property. The shaft they
are sinking on the ledge is now down
to a depth of 1872 feet. At this point
a crosscut has been run which shows
the vein to be Is feet in width. Six
feet of this material is a very high
grade red and black oxide ore; ten
feet is a good grade of a leached car
Donate ore. This property is show
ing up a true fissure vein, the walls
being we'll defined and permanent.
The shaft will be pushed down to the
200-foot point and from there the
ground will be prospected in each di-
rection. 1t looks as though the boys
had a chance to make a nice little
fortune out of this property as they
can ship some fine ore at n time
now.
Lee Barthomew came down from
his Lappan Canyon property Thurs
day, bringing with him a nice little
bar of bullion for shipment. This
bullion was from a run of only about
so tons of ore in the little mill on the
property, the plate returns of which
were something over $40 per ton in
gold. There is between IS and $40
per ton n values going into the tail
ings which will make a fine cyanide
proposition later on. Several miners
are employed in the mine on develop
ment and extraction and the property
is looking better with every foot of
work done. Mr.. Bartholomew has
hung onto his property tenaciously
and is apparently about to be well
rewarded for his perseverance in de-
veloping the property under adverse
circumstances.

NEWS OF MINING
At CAMP mccoy

r. l. Green is in Winnemucca from
Mccoy, the new Lander county
camp. He has in his possession a
number of samples of ore from the
different leases. They show silver
lead, copper stain, iron, and the
values run from a few dollars to
$1S8.
Mr.. Green says there is n covering
of wash over the country and the
prospectors have first to go through
the wash before they get to solid
formation and are able to open on
the veins or ore bodies. Some of n
~lessees have consolidated and are
pooling their results. On the Whyt-
took and Ray lease they have un-
covered values that run from $40
to $40; there is a streak OF solid
iron on the Clark lease that runs
from So to Sc; On the same lease h
galena and lead carbonate ore runs
$50 in gold besides the silver and
lead content. On the Lamb, Pearce
and Westrope lease the values run
from a few dollars to $3.50 per ton.
The Pierson lease has developed a
well-defined streak of iron ore that
will average over a width of six e e
$24. On the Reid lease they have a
streak of copper ore that averages
$40 in gold and silver. In another
shaft on the Reid lease the honey
combed ore averages $3S per ton.
On the whole the results of the de-
velopment work in Mccoy justify
the statement that the camp has
come to stay.
The Battle Mountain Scout says:
w. H. Clark Of Salt Lake, who ar
rived in Battle Mountain from Nc
Coy on Wednesday, has a great deal
to say about the camp. He is as al
ways very conservative; that is to
say, he will not go on record as say
ing the camp, or rather district, is
proven to be a dead sure winner,
but he unhesitatingly told us that
that is his opinion.
He told us of the development and
that he had an assay result OF III
ounces silver, SO per cent lead and
$32 gold, and stated that it was not
a picked sample. 1t strikes us That
this is good enough for anybody, as
the cost of mining. freight, samp-
ling, treatment, etc., of the ore from
Mccoy has been figured out to be
only $12.
1t would seem that Mccoy is go
going to be a good producing camp,
but we do not advise a rush to the
district, as there are sufficient men
there to fill all the Jobs at present.

General Superintendent Walter s.

ed Mines company yesterday received
word from Manager Haskell of the
