UNION MINES SHAFT
is NEAR FIRST LEVER

Manager Roy Thatcher of The
Union Mines went out to the prop
erty this morning, expecting to
return tomorrow. Mr.. Thatcher had
just returned from a two days trip
to Salt Lake where he went to pur-
chase new machinery and supplies.
The new compressor at the mines
will be running in about two weeks.
President Fairman and DR.. Le-
'Conte again visited the mine on their
return from San Francisco. They
were immensely pleased with the
showing. These officers of the com
lpany are due to arrive in Philadel.-
phia today.
When at the mine the new DOT
BILE compartment shaft was down IS
feet and must now be nearing the
first level at the 10O-foot point. Al
this station a crosscut will be made
l1G5 feet. This will cut the vein at
a depth of ZIG feet which is the
bottom of the present workings.
The shaft was started down the
hill in a gulch. This accounts for
the gain in depth.
Manager Thatcher is working so

The Frevert, Myers and Mortimer
lease is busily operating. The south
drift is out 80 feet on the SO level
and is producing a fair amount of
ore from a 12-inch streak. The
estimated values will run close to
$50 a ton.
Jim Riddell of Weisse & Riddell
at Sylvanite arrived in camp yester-
day with a load of ore aud returned
to camp today to ship in the balance

DEAL PENDING FOR
THE HUMBOLDT TRINITY

With the visit of w. r. McCrca of
Reno, who sold the Buckhorn mine
to George Wingfield, it became
known during the past week that an
important deal is pending which may
result in II the transfer of the prop
critics of the Humboldt Trinity Cold
Mining e Milling company. situated
about 12 miles north of Loyelock,
in che Trinity range. According to
T.. l.. Council, president and prin-
cipal stakeholder of the company,
Mr.. McCrea returned from his in
spection of the property with a most
enthusiastic conception of the ground
while his average samples taken
through the workings brought re-
turns of from $50 to $40.-Hum-

OLD GEM MINE IS
AGAIN TO FRONT
FAMOUS EARLY-DAY PRODUCER
GIVES PROMISE OF DUPLI-
eating RECORD

-
A property of no inconsiderable
merit is the group of claims owned
by c. w. Kershaw, brother of Mrs.
H. H. Sheldon of Winnemucca. They
include what is known as the old
Gem mine, situated about a mile
south of Sunshine and southeast of
Barber canyon, known for it's rich
placer diggings. The Gem mine was,
during the latter sixties, a compeer
of the Tulula, the Aud Lang Syne
and the Auburn, from which great
fortunes we're taken in the early
mining period . The Gem mine has
one chamber from which $1S6,000
was taken in a short while. The
underground chamber is plain and
still has some workable ore in sight.
The Gem mine from a single cross
fracture or along a ground plane
running at right angles with the
great contact cutting the mountain,
yielded to it's fortunate discoveries
over $4,000.
The mine is part of the romance
of the East range of mountains, II
miles southwest of Winnemucca. 1t
proved a rich reward to the venture
some spirits and mine seekers of the
early days, but what is of interest
now is that Mr.. Kershaw has, by in
telligent prospecting, determined a
series of fractures like those from
which the earlier fortunes were TAX
en-. Each is responsive to assay
tests with high values in gold and
silver, mainly silver. These values
show all the way from SIS to $34S
per ton
The new work indicates that the
old Gem property and the surround
ing area are about to duplicate the
old record.-Humboldt Star.

PACKARD PLANT WILL
SOON BE IN OPERATION

"Unless the builders are seriously
delayed the mill and cyanide plant
on the Packard property will be
completed and in operation within
60 days." say Mark Walser, prr8i-
dent of the Nevada Packard Mines
company, who was in Reno recently.
Construction vas begun several
weeks ago and the mill is now about
30 per cent completed.
"The mill will have a capacity If
approximately 100 tons on a six boar
run while the cyanide plant will
have a daily capacity of 100 tons.
thus permitting an extensive increase
in the reduction of ore by making
additions to the cyanide plant alone.
THE crushing unit consists of a

Since the property was opened up
two and a half years ago the Pack
ard has produced $4,000. It has
10000 tons of ore on the dump av-
eraging $14, and has enough ore
blocked out and measured to keen the

COMBINATION SHAFT
is PROVING VOLCANO

The shaft in the Combination lease
at Volcano reached 80 feet yesterday
and the formation is looking better
than at any time since work was be-
gun. At the present rate of prog
ress the shaft will reach 200 feet
depth by Oct. IS. This lease will bear
watching as the many good assays
that have been secured in other parts
of the workings are pretty good as
surance that large bodies of good ore
will undoubtedly be found and n
other camp of merit will be added to
the many now pouring out their flood
Of treasure from the mines through

in the south drift from the EAST
crosscut and have resumed sinking
in the shaft, which is down so feet.
The values found were not uniform,
being found practically at the top of

panies further to the north has com-
pleted the opening of the airw1ys.
On the 200 level the west crosscut
from the south drift was advanced
to the 39-foot point, and the face rs

The mill crushed 1913 tons OF Mexi-
can ore sampling $S.77 per ton, and
IA tons of Union ore assaying
$12.S5 per ton.
The Union and Sierra Nevada
companies on the $500 level in their
joint work have continued the re-
opening of the main lateral drift in
the Comstock vein, completing the
ventilation system on hat level, and
giving them access to the ore depos-
it's in that vicinity. From the air
connection the Union company took
out IA tons of ore of an average as
say value of $12.S5, which was sent
to the Mexican mill.
The Comstock Pumping association
reports that the water was held at
all points this week at the C.. & G..
shaft, and from the stump at the
shaft FL ears of muck and sand
were removed. On the 200 level, 40
feet of caved material was cleaned
out from the east crosscut at the
Ophir-Mexican winze.
At the Jacket-Crown Point-Belcher
Mines company, 1852 tons of dump
rock were shipped to the mill, and
one bar of bullion sent to the smelt-
er. Installation of foundations to
the mills continued. Underground
at the joint incline, three new sets
of timbers were installed, making
eight sets in place below the 1900
station. The pumps continue to

DESCRIBES HARDSHIPS OF THE 9
SLAV ARMY IN TURKISH ARMENIA

A RUSSIAN ARMY CAMP, Turkish
Armenia. June THE Russian army
that is in pursuit of the elusive
Turks in this region have, at this
writing, reached the valley Jf The
Habur, an affluent of the Tigris, at
a point 60 miles south of Van.
On June 2, the right flank of the
Russian forces engaged the Turks
under Hallid Bey, near the Tigris,
and fought until nightfall. when the
Turks made off into darkness. The
Armenian volunteers, who are doing
some of the pest fighting for the
Russians, began the battle at } in
the morning and sustained it alone
on open ground until noon when a
general cavalry from Sarai came
INTO action. The artillery was
brought up in the afternoon, but by
then Hallid Bey had taken a posi-
ton on inaccessible mountains, and
since then there has been no con
tact with him.
Whatever may be true of atrocity
stories from other sources, it is Ger
tainly a fact that the warfare ii
Armenia has resulted in the killing
of more non-combatants, both
men and women, than soldiers, and il
is doubtful if there is any other AREA
in the world where the war is so
plainly a case of murder.
The Associated Press correspond
ent has himself seen the corpses of
non-combatants strewn along every
trail that the Russian army has ira
versed. On June a, while climbing
a pass two remarkably handsome
Armenians were seen slain beside
the road. and nearby lay a Kurdish
girl, dead from starvation and hard
ship. In a niche of the rocks Of
the high mountain pass there Was
found a deserted baby softly 'ry-
ing beneath a saddle blanket.
At one point a group of 30 Ar
menian women gathered at the hid
day hating place of the Russian
soldiers on the crest of the pass and
moaned for food and clothes, bat
there was nothing to spare them, as
the soldiers themselves were without
bread or fuel to cook their super
abundant mutton. They were in a
district where even dry weeds failed
them for fire building purposes, and
there were no more villages 20 de-

GOOD VEIN OF COAL

Last week a couple of men in the
eastern part of Elko county were
digging a well and they ran into
what will evidently prove to be a
good vein of coal. That has been the
II thing that .Elko county has
lacked and if it proves to be good
coal, it will be a blessing, indeed,

Boys Make Escape

Ralph Gillette INT Burke Coll. in
mates of the state reformatory school
at Fallon, escaped from that insti-
tuition recently. A good description
of the boys has been sent through
out the neighboring country and Is
considered impossible that they can
make a getaway. Gillette was sent
to the school from Cobre where he
robbed a store. Coll was placed in
the school by the Reno authorities
after he entered a Reno residence
and stole a quantity of beer.
