MINNESOTA SHAFT
TO Be SUNK DEEPER

All the hosting plant that was
formerly used by the Ely Central
at the Eureka shaft near
Copper Flat has been removed to
the Minnesota claim of the original
Coppermines group and there re-
erected. The boiler house was taken
down and rebuilt on the Minnesota
as were other structures needed
where active development is going
on. The plant consists of n So
horsepower and one S0-horsepower
boiler and a hoist capable of pulling
only for temporary use at the Mime
sofa as a larger one is contemplated
for the future by the management
when more development work is
done. This property is now one of
the most important units of the Con-
solidated Coppermines and has con-
siderable high grade smelling ore
developed.
The Minnesota shaft is now 215
feet deep and it will be sunk another
$50 feet before a station for the next
level will be cut. The ore deposit
in this group has been partly de-
veiOped through the Butcher Boy
shaft and is one of the best ever
discovered in the district. Several
years ago considerable ore was
shipped with good profits resulting
to the company. The ore lies to the
east from the shaft and near the
contact where the best ore occur
The contact runs through the Ruth
townsite of the Ely Central ground
and several drill holes were put
down by that company after the ore
had been found in the Butcher Boy
and Minnesota. The result of the
drilling operations was never made
public but it is known that the first
hole reached the contact and was
then abandoned and a new hole was
started.
The operations of the Butcher Boy
Minnesota are in charge of Lane
Pearl, superintendent. who has work
ed a force of from twenty to thirty
men on development for about two
years and opened up a valuable prop
erty.-Expositor.

NO OIL IS FOUND
AT %0R0v|LLE, CAL.

An investigation by the United
States Geological Survey of supposed
oil territory neal Oroville, Cal, has
given negative results, the oil Show
ing on the surface of water having
been found to be caused by the pres
ence of iron oxide.
The so-called oil seeps in the vicin-
uuiries have been made, prove to be
mainly stains of iron and are not in
dications of petroleum, according to
Geologist r. w. Pack, of the Survey,
who examined them in December,
1913. These 'seeps' occur on the
gra~vel-covered mesa that lies on the
north side of Feather river opposite
the city of Oroville. They consist
of bright iridescent cOlors on the
surface of small pools of water and
of dark stains on the ground, mainly
neal such pools. The cOlOrs are
caused by a film of iron oxide on the
surface of the water, which produces
an appearance similar to that formed
by a small quantity of oil. 1t may be
distinguished from an oil film by
the fact that is readily broken into
small fragments when the pool is
gently stirred, whereas the colors of
an oil film reappear unbroken when
the pool is again quiet. Pools COW
ered by such a coating of iron oxide
are plentiful and are especially no
iceable in the old gravel mines north
of Oroville. The black stains on the
ground are similar to those appear
ing about small pools in almost any
undrained area. They contain no
trace of oil.
Beneath the gravel that covers the
mesa north of the river are beds of
sand and clay hat contain some car
bonaceous matter which locally forms
small beds of coal. Small amounts
of gas or even traces of oil occur
in beds of this type in many parts of
the world, and such small pockets of
gas as were found in the well drilled
to a depth of 1000 feet about five
miles north of Oroville probably oc-
cur scattered through the beds. 1t
is very improbable, however, that
larger bodies of oil or gas will be
found here.

CATTLE KING IS
D0OG|NG CUPID
THINKS FRIENDS ARE IRNlNG
TO PUT ZONE OVER"
ON HIM

An impression has gone
abroad TO the effect thai the newly
organized Goldfeld Unity club pur-
poses to conduct, as a side-lssue,
a matrimonial bureau and that j.. b.
C"Jake'') Humphrey, the cattle
king of southern Nevada and, Incl
dentally, a bachelor, has charge
of it, or some of his friends
apparently planned 10 put "one
over on him. Humphrey is in
clined toward the latter belief.
Humphrey received yesterday from
Tonopah a letter ~embodying virtual
ly a proposal of marriage, notwith-
standing that this is not leap year.
The missive was addressed to him
as head of the "matrimonial bureau
of the Unity club The writer signs
the name of Mrs. Mary Simmons"
Humphrey, although widely ac-
Quainted not only in Tonopah and
Goldfield blu the entire state, stout
ly maintains that he is not only not
acquainted with but neve previously
heard of such a person. However,
in the hope that he may be of as
sistance in quenching the famished
affections of his correspondent by
way Of calling her" desire for
someone to lean on" to the atten-
ton of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS bach
elors, Humphrey turned the letter
over to the Tribune. 1t follows:
Dear Sir: understand you have
charge of the above department and
write to ask your assistance.
Il am a widow, 3S years old, 81
inches, no children. dark hair and
eyes, good form, dress well, earn a
fair salary but want more love and
affection. would idolize a good
husband and would be true and af-
f~ectiOnate. ! want who is
strong and honorable, someone to
lean on and to care for me, as
would care for some man. | am
just dying to see you, as | hear you
are just such a man and a bachelor
Kindly let me know what this
club requires to be introduced to such
a man
Commenting further upon the let
ter, Humphrey said.
although I am a member of the
Goldield Unity club, | am not aware
that it purposes to foster matrimo-
NAL matchmaking. As for myself.
| have no desire to launch forth on
the turbulent sea of matrimony, con-
sidering that | know when | am well
off. Marriage may be all right for
some folks, but, how l love my cattle,
sheep and little pigs"

BUCKSKIN NATIONAL ORE
RUNS 5000 PER POUND

when I say the ore runs $50 ]
don't mean to the ton, but to the
pound" said Frank O'Leary, mineral
surveyor from National, in an inter-
view published in Mondays Reno Ga
Zette.
He was speaking of the high-grade
streaks and pockets of the Buckskin
National, a property which he thinks
bids fair to equalling the product of
the famous National Mining company.
He says hat the sensational values
occur in narrow seams and in pockets
on the footwalls, but that milling
grade ore is continuous for a width
of bette rthan three feet.
A number of applications for leas-
es have been received, but the COM
pany will not consider tributing with
in striking distance of the main work
ings, although outside blocks will be
given out.

Bank of Macon Makes
Fine Showing

The Bank of Macon was examined
this week under the banking law pass
ed at the last session Of the legislature
and. according to the examiner. Mr..
Armstrong, made an exceptionally good
showing in every respect.
In the matter of the smallness of the
amount Of overdrafts and past due pa
pers, Mr.. Armstrong said the Bank Of
Macon compared f~avorably with any
so far examined in Mississippi. and sur
passed most of them. In fact, the
bank holds practically no past due paper
and its overdrafts, except those amply
secured by cotton, are so little as hard
ly to be worth considering.
The Bank of Macon has long been re-
garded as a particularly sound and safe
banking institution, and the bank ex-
aminer's report will show how eminent
ly sound and conservative It really is.
The examination was careful. strict
and thorough and the result highly COM
plimentary to the bank and its officers
