SILVERADA PROPERTY SHIPS
THIRD CARLOAD OF ORE

Since resumption of cash settle
ment for silver at the market place,
which was briefly interrupted by the
war scare, Joe A. Brown, owner of
the Silverda mine in the Sweetwater
district, is moving forward his third
car, which will arrive before the
end of the week at the plant of the
Western Ore Purchasing company,
says the Reno Gazette. This is a
cotton car and is believed by MI.
Brown to be equally as rich as the
two others, on which settlement was
made for 325 nce of silver to the
ton.
Mr.. Brown has five men employed
on his Golden Gate mine in Antelope
valley. He has advanced the No. 8
tunnel to the 1,022-foot point and Is
running an upraise to the No. 2 tun-
mel. a vertical distance of 1913 feet.
When this connection is made the
ore will no longer need to be hoist
ed, but will be trammed to the mill,
which will start operations, having
been closed during the progress of
this development work.

CARSON BOYS ARE IN
ON TONOPAH LEASE

At the new gold fiend, six miles
from Tonopah, over sixty men are at
work and a half dozen tents and a
few shacks have been erected. So
far the building movement has not
made much Roadway because of the
n%earness to the homes of the work
ers and the fact that the permanent
strength of the find has not yet been
demonstrated.
Campbell and Kelly have a o.
inch streak which carries values of
500 a ton. They have ordered a
gasoline hoist and will install a
hosting plant that will enable them
to sink to a depth Of 200 feet.
They are the manufacturers Of the
little Tetrault mill and will mill
their own ore, thus giving them the
opportunity to test the ground thor
Oughly.
Today the camp saw two sets of
leasers reach the 5O-foot mark. The
formation is getting into quartz.
The next months work ought to
show whether the camp is permanent
or not. A half dozen syndicates
have been formed by the leading
business houses in Tonopah to work
ground they have leased. Harry
and Charlie Epstein. well known in
Carson are among those interested.

PYRAMID LAKE NINE TO
SOON MAKE A SHIPMENT

Frank Blondin. general manager
of the Franco-American Syndicate,
which is operating a property near
Pyramid Lake. was in Reno yester-
day purchasing supplies and arrang-
ing for the immediate shipment of
a carload of ore. says the Reno Ga
zette. 1t will be hauled to the near
est point on the line of the Fernley-
Lassen branch and shipped thence
to the sampler. He calculates $50
sacks of the ore will run $240 to the
ton, while the remainder of the ton
mage will be made up from the main
ledge, which averages SIS a ton.
The sacked ore was taken from two
small stringers in the main vein.
Mr.. Blondin has been shipping ore
from this property for three years.
He believes he has a sufficient
amount to make a mill profitable.

STREAK
RUNS $500 A TON
COLORADOANS TAKE LEASE ON
PROPERTY IN HUMBOLDT
COUNTY

J. J. and Guy E. Pierson, both of
Ouray, Colo, after inspecting the
property, nave decided to take a
lease on the Virginia ground in Hum
boldt county, Nevada, says the Salt
Lake Tribune.
The new lessees have determined
that the indications shown in the
free-milling gold-quartz ore are of
such great value as to justify them
in extending the workings already
existing on the property.
The vein consists of an eight-inch
streak of free-milling, gold quartz
ore, worth 5000 a ton, and the minor
bodies of quartz are calculated to go
as high as $29 a ton. About 80 feet
of work has been done on the main
vein, together with %laterals, amount
ing to about 100 feet in their total
ity. In the crosscut proposed by the
lessees it is anticipated to intercept
the high-grade vein at a depth of
$50 feet.
1t has been a bit difficult for the
Persons to obtain a lease from the
original n of the Virginia
ground, among whom is J. A. Head
lund. the recognized architect Of this
city. Mr.. Headlund opposed the
lease because, he said, he thought
the company could make a better
profit for itself by Withholding it.
J. J.. Pierson, who intends to meet
his brother. Guy E. Pierson, at Bat
tie Mountain, New, left last night for
the west. intending to pursue devel-
opment of the property to the limit
of present possibility.

BERLIN, Sept. %. = Houston
Stewart Chamberlain, the we'll
known English author, who married
a daughter of Richard Wagner, and
who has lived many years in Ger
many and Austria, is deeply disap-
pointed with England because of its
declaration of war upon Germany.
In a letter which has appeared in
the German press he says he holds
England chiefly responsible "for the
terrible disaster that has broken
upon Europe, and he can only ex-
plain the action Of England by as.

blindness.

test against England's course and
have it published in England, he
further wrote: "The moment for
such a protest has not yet arrived.
The English must first bear the con-
sequences of their disgusting urs
in the form of heavy blows; after
that they can be reasoned with. May
God protect the glorious cause of
the Germans; there is no other hope
for the future of the human race"
German professors and men of
science have made a strong protest
against E%ngland's course by renounc-
ing all the honorary degrees, titles
and other marks of distinction con-
ferred upon them by English univer-
stiles, academies and other bodies of
English scholars. They have pub.
lished a declaration on the subject,
as follows:
England has declared war upon
us under a hollow pretext which is
least of all justified in view of Eng
lish history, and the true character
of which is laid bare by numerous
documents. Although England is
related to us by blood and race, it
has, out of a contemplate envy of
Germany's economic success, melted
other peoples against us for years,
and, in particular. it has allied itself
with France and Russia to crush us
as a world power and to endanger
our cultural achievements.
SIT was only because they were
able to reckon upon England's CO.
operation that Russia, France. Bel
GUM and Japan threw down to us
the gauntlet of war. England bears,
foremost of all, the responsibility for
this conflagration Of the nations,

mand unheard-of sacrifices of blood
and treasure. England's brutal ma

compelled to remain in Washington
under penalty of forfeiture of salary,

INTER- DEPOSIT
IS DISCOVERED
c. w. KINNEY OF FALLON TELLS
OF IMPORTANT
FIND

c. w. Kinney of Fallon announces
the discovery Sunday by himself of
an immense body of inter at a poiut
40 miles east of Fallon, says the
Reno Gazette. He says:
Il have been what is known as an
'alkali' man all my life and could
not possibly mistaken in the nature
of the ground or it's contents. There
is a big body of sodium nitrate.
which may be assayed by the eye and
by the taste, scent and weight, but
there are also %stringers of potassium
nitrate, which must be analysed in
order to determine their value.
II have put four men to work do
ing the location, excavating, after
which there will be permanent de-
velopment in the way Of deep open
cuts.
There is a popularity. and a very
favorable one, in this deposit, as it
does not exist in a basin, a point
where water would seriously impede
operations, but in the foothills. In
my opinion the point of discovery
was once a prehistoric lake bed, but
was uplifted by a seismic c%onvulsion.
"The deposit of inter appears to
be about 800 acres in extent. At
least that is the amount of ground
myself and associates have taken
up"
