ENCOURAGING CONDITIONS
ON YELLOW TIGER PROPERTY

Although devoid of sensational as
says, encouraging results continue to
be obtained by the Yellow Tiger
Mining company in the development
work being prosecuted immediately
above and below drifts on the big
III on the 700-foot level of the
property. From the bottom of a So
foot winze below the south drift a
northeast crosscut has been extend
ed about twenty feet to determine
the width of the vein. 1t is yielding
small values. Mill grade ore is being
broken down in the raise now 60
feet above the north drift. The raise
will be continued mp to the 6OO-foot
level.

MORE LESSEES
ARE GOING IN
FOUR NEW BLOCKS OF NEVADA
DEL ORC SYNDICATE PROP
ERTY TO BE WORKED

The leasing feature bids fair to
he an important factor in the devel-
opment of mining claims in this sec
ton. The Nevada Del Orc syndicate
is meeting with considerable success
in that line.
c. E. Caulkins, assistant manager
of the company, returned from Gold
field Wednesday evening, having
made the trip to the northern city
to interest leasers in taking leases
on the company's ground in Railroad
pass. He reports that he had a very
successful trip, having let four leases
while away. Sacks and Richerts are
among the lucky ones to secure a
lease from Caulkins. They had pre-
viously examined the ground.
w. e. Smith of Goldfield accom-
panied Mr.. Caulkins to the proper
~ Thursday for the purpose of Sc
Letting a block of ground. Mr.. Smith
IS a thorough and practical mining
man, having had a large experience
in various districts, being interested
in Tonopah, Goldfeld and Manhat-
tam. He states that in his opinion
the Del Orc is in the same formation
as the Go1dfield properties, partic-
ularly the Combination, Jumbo, Red
Top and Florence mines.
Mr.. Smith states that this is one
of the best chances he has seen for
leasers and believes that the prop
~rtyy will hn nouarnl hEy nntiNn 1noc-
els in a short time. He expressed
much surprise at the showing made
IN the Jack Reid as well as on the
Dan McGraw lease.
Mr.. Reid is sinking and expects
to encounter a body of shipping ore
in a few more shifts. He is down
So feet. He will keep on sinking
and saving the best ore as he goes,
having now about IA inches of ore
on the hanging wall that assays $3.50
per tor.
Mr.. McGraw expects to sink i'm
mediately and will have one or two
men at work next week.
The advent of several leasers at
Railroad pass will greatly stimulate
the development Of the mining dis
trict southeast of Vegas. Every bust
ness and every individual will feel
the direct benefit of the activity
displayed by the Del ORC. The COM
rany has affiliated with them some
Of the best talent that is to be had.
In securing G. A. Diehl as consulting
engineer and general manager they
added much strength to the organ
ization. The legal and business end
Of the company will be in the hands
Of Milton M. Detch, who will have
the assistance and support of some
of the ablest Vegas business men,,
The company offices in the Over,
land block will be open Monday next
and all information relating to the
mines and mining industry of Clark
county will be kept on hand free at
all times to those who wish to in
yestigate the mineral resources of
this section.-Las Vegas Age.

would have been started by Mr.. Erik
son and Claude Smith, the parties
behind Mrs. Lucy Ames. The whole
proceedings on the part of Mr.. Erik
son looks more like spite work than
anything else, because he has been
mining long enough to know how
often it happens that the best ex-
perts condemn a property which af-
forwards turns out valuable. That is
Just what happened with the sale Of
the Velvet claim. The sale was made
on the advice of the superintendent
of the Merger Mines company and it
ton was given that the Velvet claim
opened up the present body of ore.
"It is too bad that parties whose
interests in the camp of Goldfeld
are so very slight should be so
short-sighted as to come in just out
Ct personal spite to start all of this
trouble and destroy the good feeling
which has just started to make Gold
field a lively camp again. But Cold
field will recover from this as it has
done before. The gold is there and
it will not be long before everything
will be running againin good order
We predicted several months ago
that something of this kind would
happen, because there is always
somebody who will create trouble
when a property becomes valuable,
Our advice IS to support the ma
iority directors of the Merger Mines
company, feeling that they have more
at stake than the minority interests"

Owing to the poor ventilation in

level was advanced to a point verti-
cally over this raise and from this

CHAPTER II.
The RIGHT Of MIGHT

Two days after the supper at Chau-
diere's the unimpetuous routine of the
business quarter of New Orleans was
rudely disturbed by the shock of q
genuine sensation.
To shatter at single blow the most
venerable of the routine precedents,
the sensational thing chose for its col
liding point with orderly system one
of the oldest and most conservative
of the city's banks-the Bayou State
Security. At ten o'clock, following
the precise habit of half a lifetime,
Mr.. Andrew Galbraith, president of
the Bayou State, entered his private
room In the rear of the main banking
apartment, opened his desk, and adj
dressed himself to the business Of the
day At half-past the hour the presi-
dent was left alone to read his cor
respondence.

dryly.
