NEW ALASKA GOLD FIELDS
NOT VERY PROMISING

Reports from Chisana gold fields,
the latest to be discovered in Alaska,
are not of very promising charac-
ter. 1t is true that gold has been
found in the district, as well as sill
yer, tin and lead, and the govern
ment expert who made the survey ex-
presses the opinion that the district
in time will become a heavy producer
of metal. But, on the other hand, the
country is almost inaccessible and
those who have reached it have done
so only after almost incredible suf-
f.ring and privation and the trail to
Chisana has been marked all through
its course with the dead bodies of
those who made the attempt and gave
up the struggle.
The district is less than 200 miles
from the Arctic circle and lies at an
altitude of from $500 to 500 feet.
Most of it is above timberline and
wood for fuel must be hauled a great
distance. All provisions and supplies
must be freighted from the outside
world and the freight to the new
gold camp site costs one dollar
pound. The district is about fifteen
square miles in extent.-Anaconda

CLOSE OPTION ON
KRAMER HILL MINE

Charles V. Fyke, treasurer and di-
rector of the Golconda Gold Ledge
Mining company, owner of the Kram-
Ter Hill property, situated two miles
from Golconda, took No. 10 Tuesday
evening for Reno. To a Silver State
reporter he stated that the deal for
the sale of the property had been
closed, the papers having been signed
that day by the Kansas City officials,
and that they would at once be for
warded to Washington, ID. c., where
they will be signed by the officials To-
Gated there not later than tomorrow.
The purchasers are Charles G..
flelfner, of Seattle and several asso-
ciates residing in that city and at
San Francisco. 1t is understood that
the price to be paid is $4,000, with
a substantial initial payment, the
balance to extend over a reasonable
period. 1t is said that under the
terms of the sale the purchasers are
required to have force of men at
work on the property inside of ten
days.
The deal was negotiated by A. W.
Stowe, the local mining broker.

GOOD SHOWING At
BLACK CANYON

The Post group OF claims, spreading
into Black canyon south of the Hum
boldt House. and more or less tribu-
tary to Winnemucca, is getting into
line for a sensational evidence of the
mineral wealth of that portion of the
Humboldt range.
The claims are owned by Dorsey,
Campbell, Noteware, Hill and John
g Taylor.
The later work performed on the
group has demonstrated wealth of
gold and silver ore. This wealth is
so attractive as to gain the attention
of the mine makers.
Dorsey and Campbell have escrowed
deed for a large round sum CON-
mencing with first to final payments
for the Nevada Humboldt Mining
company which is operating in that
section and is the owner of a choice
large area of that inviting gold and
silver belt.
The Nevada Humboldt has large
eastern capitalists as hackers. The
acquisition of the Campbell interest
in the Post group gives them large,
choice slice of the best gold-silver
area in that rich section.

FINE OPPORTUNI-
TIES AT BUCKSK|N

There is sort of a progressive fever
attracting the attention of the min
ing public to Buckskin. In mining
circles the Buekskin situation, in a
nutshell, is, gilt edge opportunity.
so strong is this mining faith in
that section that the public is tax
ing notice and giving the Buckskin
aim of making rich mines prefer
epce over other western sections.
This feeling is also instanced in the
fact that stock in the Buckskin Ma
tional (Senator Bells property Gold
Mining company has within few
months taken a leap from 10 cents to
80 cents a share and very little stock
to be had at that price.
The fact is there are purchasers
at that figure but no sellers.
Another evidence of this mining
fervor to get lined up with good
things in mining is the fact that the
National Buckskin Mines company
recently organized is having lib
eral demand for its allotted block of
development stock and also a good
line of applicants for leases on its es-
tate
Among others who have made re-
quest to be counted in for selection of
lease block on the National Buck
skin area is Charles ID. Dorsey and
Roy Campbell, successful leasers on
Lincoln Hill in Rochester district.
Dorsey by letter has mace application
for such a privilege.
During the past nine months Dor
sey and Campbell have been operat-
ing one of the richly productive leases
on Lincoln hill, making rich clean
up. Dorsey, in writing to Secretary
Flynn, stated that he was acquainted
with Buckskin section and always
had il in mind as a fine field for mine
making and proft-sharing purposes
and that recent developments had
proven his view of it and since he was
in the position to do more than pros
pect work he desired a lease on the
Zig quartz vein, a part of the National
Ruckskin holdings.
In accordance with the directors
ruling that leases would be granted
on National Buckskin area, Secretary
Flynn has notified Dorsey and Camp
bell that at any time they could make
selection of the ground desired
their trippetting purpose they could
have a lease on terms outlined.
So goes il and the rumble of Buck
skin has only commenced.

WATER HEARING
NEARLY FINISHED

Testimony for the Anderson inter
ests is being offered today before
Commissioner Lozano, in the suit of
the Pacific Livestock company against
the water users of Quinn river. These
are the last defendants to be heard,
and it is thought the testimony will
all be in by Saturday night. In case
it is not, a recess will be taken for a
week.
This is one of the most important
eases ever heard in the Nevada state
courts, and its final decision will
have a reaching effect. Claiming
that for the past two years no water
has reached Quinn river crossing, ow-
ing TO its being wrongfully diverted
by ranchers above them on the river,
plaintiff brought suit in the District
Court to enjoin defendants from ap-
propriating the waters. BY this ae-
tion defendants were required to
prove the priority and extent of their
rights.
A large number of attorneys have
been interested in the case, including
some of the best known authorities on
water rights on the Pacific coast. In
cluded in the number are +. +. Tread
well, of San Francisco, who has been
the sole representative for plaintiff,
although during his temporary alb
senee his place was taken by Law
renee j. Kennedy, also of San Fran
cisco; J. d. Skeen, of Salt Lake City,
representing the Ellison Ranehing
company; Dorsey, Henderson & Cash
man, of San Francisco, representing
their own interests ond those of the
Andersons; while the other defendants
have been represented by Warren &
Hawkins, l.. G.. Campbell, Salter &
Robins, w. s. Bonnifeld, T. A. Bran
don and J. A. Callahan, local attor-
neys.
Hearing of the testimony was com
menced before Commissioner LoZano
on the 9TH of October and continued,
without adjournment, until Novem-

til January Z, continuing since that
date. At the close of each days ses

machine is then taken by Mrs. b. NJ.
Smith, who transcribes the testimony
before the opening of the next day s
session, when it is turned over to the
attorneys, who make copies for their
own use.
When the hearing has been finish
ed, the testimony will be submitted
to Judge French, who will then set a
time for hearing arguments. 1t is
probable that this argument will be
made here, although it is possible
Reno may be designated.

PRESIDENT PLANTS ELM
IN WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS

The "Wilson Elm" now occupies a
conspicuous position in the White
house grounds in Washington, and has
as its associate, trees of various
kinds planted by nearly every other
president of the United States. The

middle of December, with informal

for that length of time in the gov

roots were Grated and wrapped with
burlap. 1t towers 40 feet in the air.
The new elm takes the place of the
Hayes elm which was uprooted last
July. 1t was regarded by experts as
one of the handsomest speciments of
elm in the country. 1t stood on the
front lawn opposite the east end of
the main portico of the White house.

in circumference, and its trunk meas

main driveway. The hole in the
ground where the roots had been was
10 feet deep and about 25 feet in
diameter.
Since the destruction of the old
tree, President Wilson several times
Expressed his regret at its loss. When
asked to participate in the planting of

ELKO COUNTY TREASURER
TO BE MANDAMUSED

County Treasurer Miller is in re-
ceipt of a letter from Attorney Gen
eral Thatcher regarding the amount
withheld from the semi-annual set
tlement with the state controller at
the first of the year, who states that
il is his opinion that the treasurer of
Elko county had no authority to with
hold the states apportionment for
the expense of taking the assessment
rolls to Carson City by order of the
State Tax commission, and the ex-
ira expense of additional clerk hire
in the office of the county treasurer at
the time of the collection of taxes,
that unless the money is forthcoming
the treasurer will be mandamused and
the case tested in the Supreme Court.
Major Miller has not changed his
opinion and still believes that he is
right in his Interpretation of the law
and says that as he is from Missouri
he will have to be shown. He is IN
consultation with District Attorney

ed this afternoon.-Free Press.

SAN FRANCISCO OPPOSED
TO UNMtRGING {. P.-U. p

The proposed suit of the United
States government to require the
Southern Pacific company to sell the
capital stock of the Central Pacific
railroad was condemned in a resolu-
tion adopted by the San Francisco
chamber of commerce at its annual
meeting Tuesday as commercial
injury to the people of the state
The proposed action, according to
the resolution, is not in the public
interest. The resolution declares
that the ownership of the Central
Pacific is not combination in re-
straint of trade, and that the two
roads were built at the same time by
the same management, practically as
one system.
The separation, it is claimed, would
leave the Southern Pacific "without a
through line and connection necessary
to unite different branch lines which
are essential for operation and also
deprive it of terminals and main
lines which are essential to the SER
vice of the communities reached by
its lines. -
Separation would work similar
hardship upon the Central Pacific and
the country traversed, it is alleged.
