ACTIVE WORK BEING DONE
ON NOCUL GROUP OF MINES
q. c. Bower is Developing Prom
Using Prospect in Chalk Noun
tain District

A. c. Bower. of Yanlpa, Colo, is
actively engaged with three men in
driving a tunnel on the Mogul
group of claims located just beyond
Chalk Mountain and in the Wonder
range,
Z. r Osgood has just returned
from surveying the underground
and surface workings. consisting of
six or seven hundred feet of work.
Mr.. Bower has moved his quarters
to the mouth of the. tunnel and en-
larged them to four rooms. The
survey shows a three-foot ledge of
good milling values in quartz with
streaks that assay up to $3.50 per
ton II the ledge maintains its
strike and dip it should be encoun-
tered in the top OF the main tunnel
in about twenty feet and almost
exactly on line with an incline shaft
thirty feet deep on the vein itself.
In such acse a raise of some seventy
or eighty feet on the ore would give
fine ventilation, open up over 100
feet of stoping ground and put the
prospect in shape for immediate
shipping if the vein holds anywhere
near the values anticipated.
Some early work done during the
Wonder boom. which At the time
seemed unjustlfed as prospecting
development, may, under Mr.. Bow
er's management be made of inn
mediate use in establishing a pro-
dueing mine. At all events the
chances seem bright for another
producer being added to Churchill
countys list through the efforts of
Mr. Bower.

WOULD retain SERVICES Of
PROJECT MANAGER D. ". COLE
Water Users Relieve Best Interests
of Project Demand Elimination
of so-calIed EXPERTS. i.

A petition is being circulated and
numerously signed, requesting the
Reclamation Service Commission to
retain the services of d. w. Cole,
as Project Manager on the Truck
ee.Carson project. The petitioners
believe that the time is not yet ripe
for dispensing with the services of
competent engineer who is &C
quainted with the conditions and
the people and turn over future
problems TO be solved by special
experts" who at best can gain
but superficial knowledge of them
by brief visits to this section.
Mr.. Cole is eminently satisfactory
to a great majority of the water
users of this project and in SYM
pathy with every movement calcu-
lated to improve conditions under
the law as it is now framed. Fol
lowing is the petition:
Whereas it is understood on the
part of the Water Users OF the
Truckee-Carson Project, that D. w.
Cole, Project Manager. is about to
terminate his services, and beIiev-
ing that it is of the highest inpcr-
tance and to the very best interest
of this Project to retain his most
able and conscientious services, and
Whereas, we believe that the
burden of the overhead charges now
required to be incurred because of
red tape" and unnecessary dupli-
cation of work upon the part of So
called experts, called upon for
reports and communications, are
entirely unjustified and can be ma
terially reduced by conferring upon
thoroughly capable and efficient
Project Manager that authority nee
essarily due him in order to obtain
the best and most practical results,
and
Whereas we thoroughly believe
that our present Project Manager
and Engineer, d. w. Cole. has full
ly demonstrated that he is an ex-
exceptionally capable and conscien-
tious worker when given the proper
discretion and authority, and know
ing him to be in full sympathy with
the efforts and measures advanced
toward improving the conditions in
this project as far as the same are
possible under the present law.
Now, therefore, we the UNDER
signed water users, do hereby most
respectfully petition your Honor
able Commission, that the said d.
w. Cole be retained in his present
position and given buch direct au-
thority as regards this project as
vii permit of the working out of
much needed and necessary meas
ures for its improvement, and this
we believe can be best accomplished
through him, as he is thoroughly
conYersant and in full sympathy
with local needs from long person
al observation and from aetuai and
local experience.
