TONOPAH LEASERS
IN BISHOP COUNTRY

Mark Mathews, E. L. Johnson, AL
Sites and l.. M. Kind of Tonopah
have secured a two-year lease and
option on the st. Ives mine, in Chi
dago district, about rs miles north
west of Bishop, says the Inyo Regis
ter. The property from which some
of the richest specimens ever shown
here were taken beyongs to the Lone
Star company of Tonopah, in which
w. w. Waterman is a leading stock
holder. The lessees are beginning
work this week. They estimate that
$50 tons of ore are on the dump
and 500 tons in sight underground.
The shaft is down 200 feet. and in
a five-foot vein said to average
better than SIC. At 1875 feet, whence
came some very rich rock, the aver
age of two feet in the south drift is
$14; of the richest three feet, $25.
A pipe will be laid 100 feet to
bring water from a spring flowing
about an inch. A Tetrault mill will
be installed to work the ore on the
ground. It's capacity is about seven
tons daily. The mill, made in To-
nopah, is said to have proved quite
a success for working on that scale.
1t is a stamp proposition, with stamps
of but 100 pounds weight dropping
three or four times as fast as the
usual battery. A strong spring &C
ton instead of merely gravity is it's
chief distinguishing feature.
Some of the best ore in the
try has been found in Chidago, and
the development of any claim there
may have consequences of import
ance not only to those directly con-
cerned, but to many others also.
None of it's claims have gone to
depth enough to be considered as
proving o. %disproving possibilities.

LESSEES BUSY
At CAMP MCCOY
BRISK DEMAND FOR LOTS IN
NEW TOWNSHIP JUST
PLATED

w. l.. and F. C. Pearce returned
last evening from Mccoy, the new
mining camp in Lander county. They
report that there are thirty men at
work in the camp at present. Seven
~leasers are working on the Mccoy
ground, which is the original discov-
cry in the district. The Pierson
lease, in Discovery gulch, has the
deepest shaft in the camp, which is
down 81 feet. The next deepest
workings is on the Clark lease, which
is down 35 feet. A drift was start
ed on the 3O-foot level and they are
now in eight feet of good shipping
ore.
All the leasers have ore which they
are piling on the dumps prepare
tory to making shipments. The ore
will be hauled by team from the
mines to the N. c. railroad, a dis
lance OF eight miles, and thence
shipped to Battle Mountain, dis
lance of fifteen miles.
Two leases have been let on the
Black Dragon claims owned by w.
l.. Pearce, Charles Lamb and j. o.
Westrope.
A townsite has been plated on
one of their claims by Charles Lamb
and a number of lots have already
been contracted for. The town will
he named Mccoy.
Peter Whyttock, a well-known
mining engineer, has located in the
camp and is arranging to start an
assay office.
A number of mining men have
visited the camp and new applica-
lions for leases are being made
daily. There is an abundance OF
good spring water in the camp, and
arrangements are being made by
Charles Lamb, the townsite agent, to
pipe it into the new townsite at
once.-Humboldt Star.

During the last week there has
been little change in the underground

from the Goldfeld Merger Mines
company. In the Velvet, stopping con

the P%oleverda claim line. They will
be connected and stopping will follow.
Crosscutting is still in progress from
the drift to disclose the hanging wall

In the Poleverda claim, north of
the old immediate stope, a new stope
is being extended above the 921-foot

CONTEST
MAKING army SHOES

WASHINGTON, July ga ma
brought to a close by the awarding
of two army contracts to the win
ners, produced two hundred and forty
pairs of the most perfect samples Of
military footgear ever manufactured,
according to the board of army ex-
perts who passed upon them.
Next to the quality of the gun he
carries" said one of these army ex-
perts, "more depends upon the con-
dition of the shoe he ear than upon
any other factor hat goes toward the
makeup of an effective soldier"
AS a result of this feeling, the Uni
ted States army quartermasters have
evolved a shoe which, they say.
makes the American fighting man the
best shod soldier in the world.
1t took over a year of continual
and careful experiment before salts
factory results we're reached. Count
less X-ray photographs were made;
the position of the bones of the feet
were noted and the anatomy before,
during and after marches were
studied and compared. All this time
different models we're tried and
theories were worked out. Finally
the type of shoe was evolved with it's
straight line on the big-toe side, it's
snug instep and a chance for the
toes to lie as freely and naturally as
in a moccasin.
When the theory of scientifically
covering the foot had been establish
ed to the satisfaction of the army eX-
perts, various manufacturers placed
their plants at the army's disposal in
the hope they would be rewarded
with the valuable contracts to supply
the six thousand pairs worn out in a
years marching for Uncle Sam.
But the quartermaster corps did
not limit itself to a single firm. They
worked out a system of having each
firm submit a sample of what it could
do. Two pairs of shoes were offered
by each bidder. showing the manu-
%facturer's ability to meet specifica-
lions.
The two hundred and forty prize
pairs of shoes were the result, and
out of these are being selected the
standard for the army's future foot
gear.

NEVADA DOUGLAS
STRIKE IMPROVES
SAMPLES FROM NEW FIND SHOW
HIGH VALUES IN COP
PER

A. j. Orem, 20 Milk street, Bos-
ton, Mass, president of the Nevada
Douglas Copper company, says that
the latest reports from me mines
may be summarized Is follows:
The new strike on the 200 level
at the Casting Copper is showing up
extra we'll. We have drifted about
ten feet in this ore and have started
a raise, and are going to crosscut
both ways to determine the extent
of the deposit. Samples taken show
values as high as 34.3 per cent. The
best of this ore is cha1cocite and
tenorite. ms appears to be a very
important strike, as it is the richest
ore we ever had in the Casting Cop
per, and ACQUIRING as it does, all in
virgin territory IN the 2OO-fOot level,
gives us immense possibilities for de-
doping a greater mine than we have
heretofore had in the Casting Cop
per. On the eighth level drifting
from the No. 2 raise north under the
mali. stope, we have opened up an
excellent grade of commercial ore
averaging SIS per cent copper. The
ore in this lift is covalite and chal-
copyrite in schist and metamorphose
garnet, with a small amount of alter
ed limestone occurring in punches
isolated from the main line bedding.
AS yet we have not determined the
extent of the ore on this life, but
from present indications it is going
to be about the same on the seventh
lift.
Mining in the Ludwig is progress
ing about as usual. We are develop
ing considerable low grade ore, and
at the same time producing some
high grade. We are now in a posi-
ton to produce 500 tons daily of low
grade running from 2 per cent to 3
per cent copper for years. There is
much ore available at the present
time all blocked out and ready for
extraction. This ore can be mined
very cheaply. 1t will require only
enough timbers to build chutes, and
will need no sorting. We can ELI
inmate all the %shoveling and break
this ore right into chutes and tram
it to the skip, thus reducing our min
ing cost to a very low point.

SOON TO BEGIN
WORK ON MILL
GOLDEN ARROW NINE OPERA
TOR TELLS OF PLANS FOR
FUTURE

After a visit of three weeks with
his family in Los Angeles, E. M.
Kieron, president and general man
ment company, operating in the
Golden Arrow district, forty-seven
miles northeast of Goldfield, arrived
here last evening by train and de-
parted this morning for the property
in his automobile. Prior to his de-
parture Manager Kieron stated that
he will soon begin the construction
on the property of the company's
proposed tenstamp mill and cyanide
plant.
opment work by the Golden Arrow
company, which is a close corpora
ton, being composed of Mr.. Kieron
and a few business associates of St.
Paul and Minneapolis, have ex-
lance of about 100 feet. 1t gives es-
tonnage to warrant the erection OF
a mill on the property, the size OF
which, through the purchase from
lBlewett & Watson of the P~Ocahontas
and Chomo claims, was recently in
creased to a total of twelve claims,
or approximately 240 acres. The
work of sinking the main working
shaft on the property from the 800
to the 4OO-foot level, with a twenty
foot sump, was recently completed,
but lateral operations on the deeper
level were stopped soon after started
on account of the increased flow of
water, following the penetration of
the big vein for a distance of three
feet. The three feet of vein reveal
ed on the 400-foot level gave assays
ranging from $50 to $50 a ton in
gold and silver.
Drifting northeast and southwest
on the vein is in progress on the
3OO-foot level. In the northeast
drift an ore shoot two and a half
feet wide has been exposed for a dis
lance of about 100 feet. 1t gives as
says from SIS to $50 a ton, and
Manager Kieron calculates that the
entire body will average around $40
a ton. The southwest drift has ex-
posed ore of an average width of two
and a half feet for a distance of 400
feet that yields average values of
$40 a ton. With the purchase of
the Pocahontas and Chomo claims,
the company now has the vein for a
distance of 5000 feet across it's prop
erty.
In addition to a ten-stamp mill
and cyanide plant, the plans of the
company include the installation Of
an air compressor, machine drills
and a pump of sufficient volume to
handle much in excess of the pres
ent flow of from 100000 to 800, 900
gallons of water daily, which will
make possible the resumption of ex-
ploratory work on the e 4O0-foOt
level. Manager Kieron states that
the construction of the mill will be
prosecuted with all possible vigor.

THEM

One hundred years ago today
the first locomotive in the
world to successfully haul a
load of freight upon rails
made it's maiden trip. Invent
ed by George Stephenson, the
Father of Locomotives" it
made it's first run at Killing
worth colliery in England. 1t
had so many rods and cranks
strapped to it's boiler that it
had the appearance of a huge
grasshopper. 1t weighed about
six tons. A pair of walking
beams" resembling those of a
modern side wheel steamer,
turned the four wheels. There
being no cab. the engineer
had to stand while the engine
was in operation. 1t pulled
eight loaded cars, which ag-
gregated a weight of thirty
tons, up a track that had a
grade of one foot in an eighth
of a mile. The test was a
grand" success, the engine
running about six miles an
hour. The first locomotive to
draw a train of cars in the
United States made it's expert
mental trip in the Lackawanna
coal district fifteen years later.
This locomotive also was the
product of Stephenson. 1t was
called the Stourbridge Lion.

ran the engine over a track of
hemlock rails for a prelimi-
nary test. Then he invited
any gentlemen in the gather
ing of spectators to accom-
pany him. His invitation was
not only refused, but he was
urged to give up his foolhardy
ambition. Laughing at his
advisers, he pulled the throt-
tie wide and dashed" away at
ten miles an hour.
