In an order which will be issued
tomorrow morning, Judge H. Pierre
Branning sustains the State Plant
Board in its injunction proceedings
in circuit court restraining w. o.
Sheppard from interfering with in
spectors and agents of the State
Plant Board who undertake to burn
infected trees in the groves of the
defendant. The order will be signed
tomorrow morning, and goes into
effect Tuesday morning.
The bill of complaint and petition
for injunction having been read, At

cral items in the bill. However. the
court sustained the board and the
case that has occupied the attention
of Judge Branning for the past three

substance, the following facts:
On the twelfth day of last June,
the state inspectors entered the
Sheppard grove and found trees in

that the inf ected trees be de-
stroyed in the usual way by burning
| within seventy-two hours. and in
case of failure to comply with the
notice, the agents of the Plant
Board would burn the trees
After receiving that notice the de-

Discovery Of Coal In America.

Coal was first discovered in the Lee

by poor hunter named William Gin

Chunk. It was not until 1904 that coal
mining was begun along the banks OF
the Mississippi as well as along the
Yellowstone. And it was in this
same year that coal was first success
fully used in this country for heating
purposes.

PACKARD MILL NOW
NEARLY COMPLETED
MANAGER ANNOUNCES PLANT
WILL BE RUNNING BY DE-
GENDER FIRST

From all present indications Sup
e%rintendent Freitag, in charge of the
construction of the new mill of the
Nevada Packard Mines company, will
turn the machinery of the plant over
by Nov. 20, says a Journal CORE
%spondent. Allowing for adjustments
and final touches the management
figures that ore will be going through
by Dec. 1.
The main units in the big build
ing are complete including tube mills
tanks and tailings %conveyor. The item
yet lacking is the rolls for the crush.
er. which is an auxiliary plant, sep
arate from the man building. This
machinery cannot be housed in until
the rollers are received, but it is cal
culated that they will be here and in
place by Saturday.
From the time the mill is ready tC
begin crushing ore, the management
declares there will be no delay FOL
the want of tonnage. 1t is estimated
that there are 1000 tons of ore bro
Ken out and ready for treatment
and according to esmiates that have
been published from time to time ant
upon which the mill was actually
built, they have sufficient r block
ed out in the mine to keep the mil
running two years.
The plant is declared to be the las
word in the method of silver treat
ment, having been specially designed
for Packard ores after exhaustive
tests in San Francisco. Stamps ar
dispensed with, the ore being reduce,
by crusher and tube mills On account
of it's variable character. Easy az
feasibility and the close interrela-
ton of all parts of the mill it is be
lieved will bring the cost of treat
ment down to a minimum of econ

NOBLE TUNGSTEN MINE

Charles z. Noble and put a Few
miners to work and were extracting
about five IONS a day it was con
sidered, at the present price OF the
ore, that they had a big thing. But
in comparison with the strike acci-
dentally made this week, the origi-
nal discovery, although one OF the
most important tungsten finds eve
made in the state, is a pigmy. In
making an excavation on the side
of the canyon for the foundation for
a boarding house, a monster ledge
of ore was uncovered, all OF which
is a good shipping ore.
A force of about forty miners
have been put to work and all the
ore being extracted is hauled to So
daville. Every days work is prov
ing the property of far more i'm port
ance than was disclosed at tire ffst
examination. This last discovery
has created a regular mining SEN
sation and the hills in the vicinity
are filled with prospectors, and re-
ports of more important discoveries
of tungsten ore may be expected mt
any moment. In the meantime the
company is selecting another locs-
ton for its boarding house.

After unavoidable delays that
have interrupted work for more than
a week past, the Kewanas has re-
sumed sinking the new winZe below
the S4O-foot level and from the
east end of the cross-cut that was
driven to the hanging wall of the
great quartz zone. The winZe has
been timbered to a depth of 20 feet
and there is reason to believe, from
the dip of ore-shoots that have been
exposed by the cross-cut, that some
thing Of interest will be revealed
within the next Is or 20 feet OF
sinking. Stopping on the ore expos
ed in the north drift will be deferred
until the work is further advanced
in the Wine.

Manager Lawrence is continuing
the northeast cross-cut TOWARD the
point where he hopes to find a south
branch of the Jumbo Extension ore
channel. This cross-cut continues
in barren latte, but should reach
the contact within so feet. Drifts
and raises will then be extended to
explore the quartz mass lying be-
tween the shale and latte.
Atlanta Mines Company
The announcement is made by
Manager Darcy hat a winze will be
sunk from the 175O-foot level at a
point where the north drift at the
hanging wall shows five and one
half feet of $40 ore. This may be
relied upon to supplement the ore Of
shipping grade that is being broken
in Slopes on the 1880 and 162O-foOt
levels. A carload of this ore was
sent to the sampler late last week
and another will go forward In a
day or two. A large tonnage of l"

blocked out between the 1880 and

Has taken it's place in the front rank
of great gold and silver mining camps
of Nevada, and we predict that with
in two years it will become n
greatest producer of these precious
metals in this State.

in the Rochester district today are
similar to those of Goldfeld ten
years ago when Mohawk stock was
selling at 15c per share. advancing
within about one year to above $4,000
per share.
