RICH FIND AT JACK CREEK

Mr.. and Mrs. r. M. Woodward
are down from their ranch on Jack
creek. Mr.. Woodward brings word
of what promises to be one of the
biggest strikes ever made in the
county. The discovery was recently
made by a couple of Bascos, and a
15-inch vein of $500 ore is reported
uncovered. Picked specimens as
sayed as high as $4,000. The
property is located in Marsh canyon
about three miles from Jack creek
station and about seven miles from
Mr.. Woodward's place.
pich float was found in the VI
cinity several months ago and since
that time several have been looking
for the lead. Mr.. Woodward has
'"ken IN several claims adjoining
the strike, but so far his ore has as
saved but Sc.
If this strike turns out as pres
ent indications promise it will mean
a great deal to the community and
will stimulate the mining industry
throughout all the county. - Elko

AUSTIN-DAKOTA WORKING

Brisk business is the keynote on
the property of the Austin-DakOta at
the present time. Three shifts are
engaged in sinking the shaft on the
site known as the X-Ray. 1t will cut
two systems of orebodies-a north
and south series of mineralized dykes
and a series of veins conforming
with the Lander Mill vein system.
For the present, work will be
prosecuted with a whim, although
sites have been graded for the in
stallation of a steam power plant
which will cut $50 feet deeper
new year. The machinery has been
purchased and will be on the ground
in due course of time.-Reese Riv-
er Reveille.

opening of the new year. All en-
plcyes who have been in the exclu-
sive service of the company for two
years or more will receive two
weeks vacation, with full pay, while
those who have been with the COM
pany for less than two years, but
more than n year, will receive one
week. Manager Hewlett, of the
Goldfield office, yesterday received
formal notice of the new order for
the information of the employees Of
his force. The order extends to
messengers as well as clerks, opera

s OF

The feldspar quarries in the Unit
ed States, with the exception of those
in California, are restricted to nine
of the eastern seaboard states. Most
of the feldspar mined in the eastern
states is of the potash or the soda
variety or a mixture of the two, and
these varieties are used in the pot
terry industry because after being
melted and cooled they form a glass.
Feldspar of the lower grade is used
as a binder in making emery and
corundum wheels, in manufacturing
opalescent glass, as a poultry grit,
as a constituent of roofing material,
and for surfacing concrete work.
Small quantities of the purest grade
of potash feldspar are used in the
manufacture of artificial teeth. -

NOW
OPERATING IT'S PLANT
FURNACES ARE BEING FED
WITH LARGE TONNAGE OF
GOOD ORE

The new plant and mill of the Ne.
vada Douglas Copper Mining COM
pany at Ludwig is finished and is
now running steadily. Eighty tons
of sulphide ore are now being daily
fed to the furnace. This will be
increaed to 100 tons and gradually
enlarged to $50 tons per day. Sui
phur gas obtained from sulphide ore
will be used in the teaching of oxide
ores. Recent tests disclose the
teaching efficiently to reach 80 per
cent of the gases used in this man
ner. Hampered by the unavoidable
delays incident to the construction
of this plant that have continually
occurred, the results notwithstand-
ing, accomplished soon after COM
pectation of the company.
During the next three weeks the
company will continue shipping it's
ore to the Salt Lake smelter, after
which all company ore will be treat
ed at the new mill and plant. The
success of the process is demonstrate
ed. It's erection and operation will
a great deal to the district, and the
opening up and development of a
number of other properties that are
not of sufficient value to ship, but
which can be mined and reduced at
Ludwig at a big profit.-Yerington

MINE
AGAIN IN OPERATION
ED AND WORK is IN
PROGRESS

Brisk business is the keynote on
the property of the Austin-Dakota at
the present time. Three shifts are
engaged in sinking the shaft on the
site known as the X-Ray. The work
is under the supervision of G. F. Lit
trell, manager of the property, says
the Austin Reveille.
During the past two months ex-
tensive improvements have been
made on this property. Grading of
roads to facilitate the delivery of
freight and the hauling of ore have
been made. A well designed powder
magazine and stables have been con-
structed or the property. The
equipment already in place has been
thoroughly overhauled and there Is
nothing in the way to check a vigor-
Gus campaign of development in one
of the most promising spots in this
mining district.
Early in the new year the X-Ray
shaft will be equipped for deep min
ing and 1916 will see some results
from this work in new ground in
Austin that will stimulate efforts on
the part of all owners of property
here to go after the goods which are
well known to be here.
Twelve to fifteen men on the pay
roll of the Austin-Dakota is a good
start for the new era of prosperity
for the town and district of Austin.

MASONIC PRODUCING
ING0TS OF BULLION
STALL BROTHERS ARE PROVING
SERITA TO BE GOOD
PROPERTY

That the camp of Masonic is forg-
ing to the fore is proven by the
statement of a recent visitor to that
place. Since the Stall brothers got
control of the Serita and through
their development work opened up a
high-grade ledge, all other owners
of property have been imbued with
a new spirit and many are working
on their holdings in hopes Of de-
~veloping a new Serita. The Stalls
have a large force of men at work
on their property and have the Pitts
burgh Liberty mill-which is under
lease to them-in good working or
der and are monthly shipping out
bars of bullion which will soon place
them on velvet.
Big teams are hauling hay and
wood into the camp from both the
Bodie and Sweetwater sides and all
is being put in readiness to run the
mine full blast throughout the win
ter months. A big motor truck has
been purchased by the Stalls and will
soon be placed in commission, al
though it is generally believed the
truck is to be used in the spring in
making shipments of high-grade ore
to the railroad points.
1t is currently reported among the
Masonic miners that the more devel-
opment work which is done on the
Serita, the more high-grade ore is
being shown up, and that at the
present time there is ore enough in
sight to keep the mill going for sew
eral years.
One story is told that the Stall
brothers, a little owe a year ago, ex-
ploded five boxes of powder in "a
drift to cave it and the bottom of the
shaft to hide what had been found in
the way of ore, as at that time there
was trouble about the securing OF
more territory. This explosion had
the effect of causing several caves
which disclosed lodges of ore of great
value = m ledge at least carrying
values in excess of 5000 per ton. One
of the lodges has reached a width of
80 feet, all of which is being stopped
and shipped to the mill for reduc-
ton. There are few camps which
can make a better showing than this.

EARLY MORNING FIRE
DESTROYS AN AUTO
CLARENCE SAGE LOSES CAR
WHEN GARAGE BURNS sun
DAY MORNING

Fire broke out in the garage
which housed an automobile belong
ing to Clarence Sage. Sunday morn
ing at 2:15 o'clock and for q tine
threatened to destroy the entire
block bounded by Columbia, Crook,
Ramsey ami Fifth venue The
building and contents were Totally
destr Dyed. The car was covered Nv
insurance.
An alarm was turned in by the
night clerk of the Goldfield hotel,
Il. Truman. at 2:15 and by the time
the department arrived on the scene
the entire building was in flames
AMI the roofs of the adjoining build
ings We're sweating tar. The en-
tire section of frame buildings near
Ly narrowly escaped destruction, as
the ~oil-soaked garage threw out an
intense heat and only by strenuous
work of the department was the
damage kept at a normal figure.
rhe building was constructed OF
galvanized iron and consequently it
confined the blaze to some extent,
although the roof of the San Fran
cisco bakery and the fence near
the garage We're slightly s%cOrched.
The garage faces on the alley, back
of DR.. Liggett's office, and was for
merly owned by the late DR.. Wheel
er.
The local department had the
l3aze cut. in less than an hour de
spite a rather high wind. which made
the situation more precarious for the
adjoining buildings, which are all
frame structures. 1t is thought that
the blaze was started by some prowl-
err, who entered the building in
fearch of valuables and who in leav-
ing carelessly threw a match or Gig
arette on the floor, which was soak
ed with oil and gasoline and burned
like finder when the fire started.

INCREASED ACTIVITY
IN PLAT|hA DISTRICT
BOSS NINE, OPTIONED TO GEO
GRAHAM RICE, REVERTS
TO OWNERS

The famous Boss mine, in which
the discovery of fabulously rich plati-
mum ore was made a little more
than a year ago, has reverted to the
original owners, S. e. Yount, Fred
A. Hale and o. j. Fisk. The COM
pany which optioned the mine at a
price of $4,000 a year ago, PAID
100000 in cash, but owing probably
to the financial conditions, failed to
make payment of the remainder Of
the purchase price when due. A
force of miners has been put to
work driving a tunnel to tap the
rich vein recently encountered, which
is said to carry 81 ouncs of platinum
and over 20 ounces in gold, with AN
approximate value of $4,000 per ton.
A recent good strike made on tho
Whale mine has necessitated the en-
ployment of an additional force OF
miners.
The Mobile company has purchas-
ed the Spelter mine from Ewing,
Wilson and Ewing for $4,000. This
is a prospect which runs high in zinc,
but with only five months work
done on the two claims. The prop
erty is located three miles southeast
of Platina.
North of Platina the Green Mon
ster, owned by the Hearst estate, has
developed a rich strike of zinz. This
is n of the best camps in the Vel
low Pine district. The Azalia, ada
cent, is doing considerable develop
ment work.
The White Pine property is look
ing up. The Champions, recently in
charge of the Boss, are in charge of
this property.
The Smithsonite has 10 or IL men
working on a good showing of zinC
ore.
The Sultan and Root camps look
like a small tent city. They have
good shipping ore and the prospect is
fine for a big camp.
Blasts are heard every hour of the
day from the various properties.
Iner are many prOSpectOrS with
burros travelling through Platina
loaded for the various mines and
bound for Goodsprings, the Mecca OF
the district.
West of Platina, the Kingston
range in California is being actively
%prospected and bids fair to equal, II
not surpass, the district on the east.
Judging from observation, opinions
expressed by old-timers and the va
riety of ores and values found by
assaying the ores discovered, the
range just west Of Goodsprings and
the eastern side of the Kingston
range are the most overlooked min
eralized sections in the United States.

PRISONERS EXCHANGED
BY NtUTRAl'S AGENCY
SWEDEN TAKES HAND IN RE-
TURNING AND CARING FOR
WOUNDED MEN

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 20.-Preparal
tions have been completed for tN
resumption of the exchange OF
wounded prisoners between Russia
and Germany. The transfer will be
carried on as before without any
modification CT the original plan hit
several innovations have been in
trodueed which will make the long
journey more comfortable for the
wounded and additional sanitary
precautions have been taken.
One of these is a new disinfecting
station at Haparanda where all ar
rivals will receive a steam bath,
while their clothes are washed and
disinfected. Since it has been found
that the locomotive and steam heat
err can supply only enough heat for
two cars, the trains, during the cold
weather, will be cut down to tina
length. Large numbers of blan-
kets have been provided and the
wounded will have no difficulty in
keeping warm in their excursion
northward which carries them al
most into the arctic circle.
The -xchange will continue
through November, but will be in
terrupted in December, when all the
Swedish trains will be needed to take
care of the Christmas traffic, which
i'm Sweden is always extraordinarily
heavy. The sanitary arrangements
have beer found to be perfectly sat
i%sfactory. The doctors in charge
state that no infection of a serious
character has occurred and only one
nurse has been taken ill.

day by giving recitations. Following
the services at the Smyrna cemetery
the whole body went TO River Ridge
cemetery, where scores of people
from the city had gathered to help do
honor to the nations dead heroes. The
patriotic orders We're again command
ed TO fall in and after the ritualistic
service the graves of the veterans
buried there were decorated. The
last services were held in the Beld-
