KANSAS FIRST VALET

Col. Harvey, the scholarly and poll
ished editor of the North American
Review, was a guest of Speaker and
Mrs. Champ Clark at the wedding of
their daughter on Wednesday. Colonel
Harvey's visit to the west recalls the
time he was the commencement
speaker at the University of Kansas
a dozen years ago. Among other ex-
cess baggage, the Colonel carried a
valet 1t was the first time that a
real, live, honest-to-goodness valet had
been shown in Kansas. The news
papers used the valet for top heads
and gave him almost as much space
as the Colonel. Charming young coll
lege girls hurried down to the Eldridge
house to get a glimpse at the valet
An enterprising student located him
in the writing room and was lust
starting a thriving business at ten
cents a look when the valet discoV-
cred what was going on and ran up
stairs. The Colonel spent two days in
Lawrence, but the valet stayed close
to his room after this experience. Fol-
lowing the Colonel, Norman Hapgood.
now editor of Harper'S Weekly, was
the speaker. He did not carry valet,
but attracted almost as much atten-
ton by splitting an infinitive during
his address. This is objectionable on
classic Mount Dread, and even effete
Lawrence criticised-Chanute Tribune.

Yesterday it was more ammunition
Lord Kitchener was calling for and
today it's more men. The first re-
quest having been granted it is easy
to understand why the last request is
made. This is the story of war
more ammunition, more men! In this
instance the demand is made that the
cousins of the ruling family of Europe
may test their prowess. Most other
wars are equally lacking in good pur-
poses. There could be no international
dispute-no question of national hon
or-that could not be settled by arbi-
tration or by international court, II
the people of the world who pay the
cost of war in both money and blood
would decree that differences should
be settled that way.-Ft. Scott Tri-

PROSPECTS OF WATER
NEAR BONNIE CLARE
UNIVERSITY CONTINUES IT'S IN
VESTIGATION OF SOIL AND
WATER RESOURCES

Professor J. G. Scrugham, dean of
the engineers of the University OF
Nevada, is still pursuing his investi-
cations of the possible underground
water of the Bonnie Glare
district. Professor Scrugham was a
passenger on the Tonopah & Gold
morning and Immediately left for
the south with Fred Mechling of the
Nevada-California Power company,
and together they spent the day in
their Investigations.
Professor Scrugham was some
what disappointed in the analysis
of the soil samples taken on the oc-
casion of his last visit, since the
analysis showed the soil to contain
approximately 2h per cent of salt
and alkali. This effectively and con
clusively disposed of any further in
vestigatiOns in the particular Sec
ton from which these samples were
taken.
From a point ten to fifteen miles
distant, and where there were indi-
cations that water might be found
within a reasonable depth, additional
samples of soil we're taken yesterday
and further prospecting in that Sec
tion will depend upon analysis OF
these soil samples. Professor Scrug-
ham mentioned other districts still
farther south where Investigations
will be undertaken within the next
month. He returned to Reno this
morning.

SHIPS RICH COPPER ORE.

Rich copper ore is now being
sacked for shipment to the semlter
on the Green Wonder, a property
owned by j. Holman Buck. A car
load of ore is on the dumps. which
is being sacked and freighting
teams will begin hauling the ore 20
the station at Nina in a few days.
About four more carloads are in
sight in the workings, according to
w. r. Smith, a well known copper
operator. who recently visited the
property. Six feet of ore is expos
ed in the shaft and neither wall has
been exposed.
The character of the ore is mala,
chite and red oxide and assays taken
across the orebody shows values Of
from 10 to 81 per cent copper be-
sides some silver. The property is
west of Nina in the Gold range dis
trict. The same party is sacking a
small shipment of silver ore from
the Lorena mine, which he also
owns. This ore runs about SIS per
ton, besides carrying some lead and

NINA STAMPEOES
TO GOLD STRIKE
RICH ORE FOUND AT SILVER
SUMMIT CREATES MUCH
EXCITEMENT

Nina witnessed an old fashioned
mining stampede this week that took
one back to the early days of Gold
field, and it vas gold, bright, glIt-
tering glod, that brought it about
and took even the chair-warmer
out of his comfortable seat and
even stirred Hawthorne to a sem
blance of activity.
For the past year Oscar Wutzler,
Bill Andres and George Stasanopu-
los have been carrying on develop
ment work on a property at Silver
Summit, nine miles west of Nina.
During this time they have also been
carefully prospecting the hills jim
the vicinity of the old Bell mine
which produced several million dol
lars. A few weeks ago they uncov-
cred a likely looking ledge but kept
it quiet until they could u a tun-
mel far enough to prove their find.
The first of last week they cut the
main part of the ledge which they
have opened up for a width of nine
feet. Alongside of one wall they ran
across a vein of rich ore that car
ries free gold in grains like shot all
through. A sample of about two
pounds just scraped off the walls
showed grains of gold nearly the size
of wheat. and n piece was nearly
as large as a pea. This streak will
run from $4,000 to $4,000 per ton
and exclusive of the rich streak,
samples taken across nine e e show
ed values Of $13.25 per ton and is
free milling in character.
Samples of the high-grade, chunks
of which we're as large as a mans
fist, were brought to Nina and the
fun was on. Thursday morning be-
fore the sun had shown his face
nearly every available automobile IN
Nina and available teams were head
ed for the discovery, and later in
the day the crowd was augmented
by arrivals from Hawthorne, Soda
Vile, Luning and Douglas, and tho
hills in the vicinity were alive with
men locating claims.
Without question it is n of the
most important discoveries made in
this section in many a day and
promises to repeat the history of the
Bell mine in the early days when
she was outputting her millions of
dollars in ore. Several parties have
been after the owners for options,
but the boys will dc a little more
exploratory work before turning
lloose.-Western Nevada Miner.

MENACE Of RABID COYOTES MAY
EXTEND TO SOUTHERN COUNTIES

While the campaign for the ex-
termination of the coyote has receiv-
ed smaller space in the newspapers
of the north during the last ten
days, yet the activities of the cam
paigners have not been reduced, and
the owners of livestock, as well as
the owners of highly priced dogs in
the counties further south, are
awakening to the Importance of ex-
IRENE vigilance as the colder wealth
er and the falling of the SHOWS will
bring the sheep herds farther south,
according to a letter received by the
Tribune from Lovelock today.
The outbreak of the rabies among
the coyotes was first brought to the
attention of the authorities at the
state university early last spring.
At that time it was not considered
alarming, according to a statement
to the Tribune by President Hen
drick of the university last week.
information had reached the univer-
sitv through official channels from
Oregon and Idaho that the disease
had appeared among the coyotes in
those states, but not to an alarming
extent. Early in the summer, how
ever there were received at the
university laboratory from the north
ern counties of the state coyotes
heads, which, upon examination,
proved that they were rabid.
The university authorities deter
mined at once that prompt and dras-
tic action would be necessary, and
that the livestock interests of the
state were menaced by the possiblli-
ties of a very dangerous outbreak.
For several weeks cattle men ana
others were apparently Indifferent
and attached but little Importance to
the new situation. 1t was at first
difficult to interest them, but with
in the last two months in the coun-
ties north of the Humboldt rive
disease has spread so alarmingly
that every effort is being made to
exterminate the coyotes, and every
citizen, whether the owner of live
stock or a dog, is giving his very
best efforts to the campaign for the
determination of the disease. t IS
said that few dogs are left in Hum
boldt or Elko county.
President Hendrick stated that
there had been treated at the labora-
tory of the state university over 7c
people, bitten by rabid coyotes. or
mad dogs. In addition there have
been reported to the authorities Sc
we're losses among cattle, now ag-
gregating several hundred head. In
fact, coyotes have infected some or
the herds of dairy cattle and in
that manner the has been

LINCOLN HILL IN
GOOD CONDITION
PACKARD PROPERTY ALSO AT
ROCHESTER, READY FOR REG
ULAR OUTPUT
Special to Goldfield News

ROCHESTER, New, Dec. 1.-The
Lincoln Hill Milling & Mining COM
pany has struck the spur vein in a
raise so feet above the lower tun-
mel and is cutting out a station prep
aratory to drifting and stopping. The
connection just made adds about 80
feet of backs on the vein which was
stopped on No. 2 tunnel level for LOT
feet, the ore extracted and milled
averaging $3.50 per ton.
There will follow work that is ex-
pected to develop a large body of ore,
i.e., the driving of an inclined drift
on the Spur vein to a junction with
the Peerless vein. The Spur vein
lies quite flat, dipping toward the
Peerless at about 20 degrees. The
two veins should unite within a
few feet of the raise. When the
junction is reached a deep Wine will
be sunk on the ore.
Robert Nye of Grass Valley, CAL.
was appointed superintendent of the
Lincoln Hill mine by G.. S. Johnson,
president and general manager, and
assumed his duties Nov. 10. Under
his direction the mill is running
steadily and making regular ship
ments of bullion. The mine is equip
ped with air compressor and air-driv-
en- drills and is in good shape for
the extensive development work
which Nye has planned. The values
are principally gold, averaging $3.50
to 5000 per ton. Four veins have
been developed all of which produce
high-grade ore.
The Nevada Packard Mines COM
pany is trying out it's e 100-ton
cyanide mill, which will be put in
operation shortly. A large tonnage
of ore averaging SIS per ton has
been developed through a series of
tunnels. The ore is of such charac-
ter that a high extraction will be
made and mine and mill costs will
be very low, about So per ton, which
will result in a high earning capac-
ity of the plant.
1t is expected that the company
will be able to earn $1,000 a day
net and the management has stat
ed that not less than zoe per share
will be paid in dividends in 1916.
The stock has been listed on the
San Francisco stock exchange and
is a heavy trader.

| brought home more nearly to the
people of the state, as 1t has been
recently established that the infec-
ton may be transmitted through the
drinking of the milk of the animals
bitten by rabid coyotes or dogs.
The university has been assisted
by Senators Newlands and Pittman
and the federal government has sent
to the state trained hunters, trap
pers and prisoners of these preda-
tory animals, and these hunters are
now, and have been for some weeks,
working in the northern part of the
state. Twenty-Five of them are
operating in Elko and Humboldt
counties under the direction of Mr..
Sans. They are paid by the federal
government on the basis of $50 per
month, each man finding himself.
In addition to these 25 men, ap-
plication has been made to the gov
eminent for 100 more hunters, in
the hope that this army, small rs it
will be even with this addition, will
be able to destroy the rabid coyote.
! President Hendrick, in his statement.
expressed the belief that at least
100 additional men should be en-
ployed for this work.
While the outbreak has been con-
fined principally to the territory
north of the Humboldt, or north of
the Southern Pacific railroad, it is
! believed that after the first snowfall,
! when the sheep will start toward the
south, the coyotes will follow and
the disease will then spread over the
entire state, unless checked. 1t is
readily seen by those who have
watched the situation, that the dan
ger to human life is not confined to
the livestock districts. Every mining
camp has it's full quota of dogs, If
not more-in most instances more.
Most of the counties are doing
what they can by offering boun-
ties to induce hunters to go into the
field, but the bounties are so small
that few men can afford from a pc
cuniary standpoint to engage in the
hunt. The state board of stock com
missioners has no funds available at
this time, but each county in the
state is permitted to pay bounties as
follows: For the scalps of coyotes,
so cents; wild cats, So; mountain
lions, So. Five or more scalps must
be presented at one time.
Numerous stockmen have on their
own account put hunters into the
field and this effort is now being
enlarged by the fact that the own
ers of stock have become fully con-
scious of the danger to their hold
ings from the menace of the rabid
cOyOte.

SandstOrm-kendal Cons.
Cross-cuts are being driven east
and west from the station at the bot
tom of the main winze, 700 feet be-
low the surface, and the west cross
cut continues to show broken par
ticles of shale, embedded in the
country andesite. 1t is unlikely that
the significance of this discovery
will be determined until the work at
tains greater depth. The east cross
cut has not yet penetrated the main
vein, hut continues to expose seams
of low-grade ore, indicating that it is
nearing the foot-wall of the vein.
Other Properties
Great Bend is making good prog
ress in driving east on the 40O-foot
level, following the main vein, and
the drift has lately exposed quartz
of good appearance. The new sta
ton pump has been installed on the
400 level and is handling all the va
ter without difficulty. The Grand
ma company is now being reorganlz-
ed and plans are being formulated
for the early beginning of develop
ment work on a comprehensive scale,
under the direction of J.. X. Turner,
the company's engineer. Spearhead
Gold is sinking it's shaft rapidly, with
the aid of the recently installed ma
chine drills. Simmerone is driving
on the 100 level for the ore-shoot ex-
posed above and from which a ship
ment was taken recently. The New
Jersey Mines company has a most
encouraging showing on its 40O-foot
level.
