FINE SPECIMENS OF
LEAD-SILVER ORE

Messrs. Smith and Webster of this
city have recently relocated an old
claim near Brunswick canyon, for
merly owned and worked by the late
Robert Logan. Some years ago Mr..
Logan did considerable work on the
ground, sinking a shaft about so
feet in depth. When this stage of
the development work was reached
the men refused to work any more,
because the bottom sounded as
though they were at the top of a
great chamber and the ground was
abandoned.
The present have been
cleaning out this old shaft, and at
the bottom have uncovered a ledge
which is about Is feet wide, Of
quartz, in which is a streak of lead
silver ore which run from $35 to
$50 per ton. Specimens of the rock
are on exhibition in the saloon of
Frank Hill and are of the character
which mining men indicates a large
body of ore in the vicinity.
Assays of the quartz part of the
vein are being made, and it may be
that Carson is to have a mining
boom at it's door. The vein from
which these specimens were taken is
said to show for about 1900 feet on
the surface.-Carson Appeal.

GERMAN METEOROLOGISTS
USE BELGIAN OBSERVATORY

LONDON, May 10. - The use to
which German meteOrOlogists are
putting the Belgian rolay observatory
at Uccle, a suburb of Brussels, is
told in the Gazette Astronomique,
now published in London by the AS
Economical society of Antwerp. When
the Belgian army retired from Brus-
sells a German force took possession
of the observatory and put four Ger
man scientists in charge, to take
weather observations for the infor-
nation of the army aerOnautic force.
The Belgian astronomers were al
lowed to remain, subject to certain
restrictions.
The German army meteorologists
were observed filling with hydrogen
small rubber balloons to get the di-
rection and velocity of the air cur
rents in the upper atmosphere. AT
night the balloons carried al cleo
trio pocket lamp forming an artif-
cial star.
Similar observations were made by
stations at Liege, Namur and other
points in the conquered territories,
being collected and collated in Ber-
lin for the use of commanders of
Zeppelins and aeroplane units.

BELMONT MILL TO
START JULY FIRST

Rapid progress is being made with
the installation of the mill that is
being constructed at Belmont by the
Monitor Belmont Mining & Milling
company. c. A. Sergeant. a mill
contractor, who has been on the job
since the beginning, is in Tonopah
today on his way back to camp after
a visit to Los Angeles.
He reports that the mill will first
be busted with the dump ore. OF
which there is $4,000 tons running
better than $40 a ton. Meanwhile
operations in the mine will be put
under way. The mill uses the oil
iotation process. 1t will have a a
pacity of $50 tons a day for the
first unit. The extraction is eX
pected to run 90 per cent although
the test shows a possibility of eX'
tracing close to 9S per cent. The

AUSTIN-DAKOTA IS
STOPPING GOOD ORE

The operations on the property oil
the Austin Dakota company, south OF
town, show a most encouraging ex-
posura of ore in the drifts which are
being run from the incline on the
225 and SIS levels.
In the upper level, which is out
from the drift 40 feet, there is an
EN- down. On the footwall there is a
streak of as fine ruby silver ore as
has been seen in the Austin camp.
The drift on the lower level is out
50 feet and is exposing two parallel
veins. The footwall vein is over
three feet in thickness and is all bet
ter than the average milling grade,
with punches of much richer ore.
The hanging wall vein varies in size
from 20 inches to three feet and is
permeated with iodide of silver and
stephanite. Assays show this rock
to run in value from $40 to over
$500 per ton.
Achute has been put in to carry a
raise which will break down the ore
on both these veins and it cannot
take a very long time to get out a
considerable shipment.
The Austin-Dakota has been doing
persistent work in opening up lis
large mineral estate, which consists
of 4 large area of virgin ground
south of the main Austin gulch. The
corporation is a close done and has
not been hurried in its operations,
but is carrying out a we'll settled
policy, which is now bearing fruit.
While nothing will be done toward
the erection of a local reduction plant
until enough ore has been blocked
out to run for a year or more, the
owners of the prperty are ready 70
make such installation at the proper
time without calling on outsiders &c
furnish the money. The operations
of the company are in the hands OF

KNOCKOUT IN THE RING

In view of the fact that some per-

a boxer is not knocked out unless

DEMPSEY HERE TO
MEET SUOENBERG
THEIR TRAINING TOMORROW
AFTERNOON

Jack Dempsey, the husky Pueblo
middleweight, who will meet Johnny
~Sudenberg at the Hippodrome next
Monday night in a 10 round bout, ar
rived in camp this morning accompa-
MED by his manager, Jack Gill.
Jake Goodfriend, under whose man
agement the card will be held, has
the best of assurance that Dempsey
is there with the goods and should
give the Omaha boy a great battle.
Several local men have seer Demp-
sey in action in his many contests at
Reno and all united in the predic-
tor that Johnny had better be
right when he crawls through the
ropes.
Dempsey will begin his training
tomorrow afternoon, going through
his PAGES at the Unity club gymna-
SUM at 8 o'clock. He will box with
Dick Trounce, a Reno lad who is
looking for matches in southern Ne
vada, and one or two other boxers.
Roy Moore, bantamweight champ
ion of the Pacific coast, who is to
meet Jack Bratton al Tonopah June
II, and who already holds the dis
tinction of having tumbled the ia
vorite of Tonopah in the second
round of a bout or the coast several
months ago, was also among the
p~ugnacious individuals to arrive
this morning. Moore will probably
do the majority of his training in
Goldfeld.
Sudenberg will go through his
work at the Northern gymnasium,
working out tomorrow Afternoon at 2
O'Clock. Johnnie is determined to
win this fight by a knockout and ST.
lence for all time the criticism thai
he doesn't carry a Knockout punch.
Preliminary matches have been
arranged by Manager Goodfriend and
will include two bouts, ten and SIX
rounds respectively. Jack Smith of
San Diego an Kid Harrison will tan
gle in the longer bout and the purse
will be split but n way, the win
ner to get the entire sack. Both need
the money. Sailor Studley and Speck
Duffy will fight six rounds In the
curtain raising event.

OLDEST MINING
DISTRICT IN J.. S.

The northwestern continuation ~
of Mexico, celebrated for centuries
for its fabulously rich ores of silver
and other metals, is described by F.
c. Schrader of the United States ge-
illogical survey in the surveys bulle-
tin $50, Mineral deposits of the San
ia Rita and Patagonia mountains,
Arizona" The district has an area
of 400 square miles, situated on the
border of Mexico in the middle Of
that portion of Arizona knwn as the
Gadsden purchase. Authentic rec
ords show that silver mining was car
ried on here by the Papago Indians
before the Spanish conquest of Mex
leo in the sixteenth century. Later
the lodes we're worked from time o
time and their ores smelted under
the direction of the Jesuit fathers
and the Spanish government. and
remnantsAof their old mine work
ings, to Which the charm of romance
clings, point the way to wealth pos
sibly not yet exhausted.
From 1858, the date of the Gads-
den purchase, t the present time
mining has been carried on by Amer
icans-not, however. without inter
ruptions. especially during the early
part of this period, in which raids
by the bloodthirsty Apaches or Mex
lean outlaws figurede prominently.
Although the fame of this district IN
the past was due almost exclusively
to it's rich silver ores, since the
American occupation valuable dis
coveries of copper, lead and other
metals have been made.
OF the many hundreds of old and
new mines and prospects within the
area, but a small percentage are act
i've at present. 1t is the belief, how
ever, of the biologists who exam
ined this area that many of the
properties now idle merit the seri-
Gus attention of mining men. Bulle-
tin $50 describes individually nearly
800 quartz mines and prospects, and
not the least interesting are the gray
ell deposits of Greaterville, which
have yielded $7,0OO,0O0 worth Of
placer gold and are estimated by
mining engineers to still contain
$4,000, 900 to 800. 5000. Lists
and descriptions are given of the
great number of minerals found in
this district, among which, besides
gold, are copper, si' Ter, lead and
zinc, as we'll a. TIE rarer metals,
tungsten, %molybdenum and vanaGi-
UNI. Statistics of production for the
period 19O3-1912 show an aggregate
of more than $1,000, 600 worth of
copper, silver, lead and zinc. The
report also contains a general de-
scription of the topography, climate,
vegetation, settlements and means of
transportation - in short, informa-
ton of value to anyone interested in
the southeastern Arizona mining re-
gion as well as to miners and geolo-
gists generally.
