SMALL FORTUNE BELIEVED
BURIED IN CORNERSTONE

A rich treasure seems to be In store
for some lucky person. Old timers who
resided in this city when the lnterna-
tional hotel was built remember vivid
" the time the cornerstone was laid
for that famous structure. Mackay
and Fair were there, and just before
the stone was covered each took a
handful of gold coin and placed it in
the rock. Other well-to-do people placed
their share there and large sized sum
was the result. Not coin alone, but
other valuable articles were placed IN
the stone until it became worth a
small fortune. Articles of historic in
terest which would now be almost
priceless to the owner were put IN TO
fill up the hole in one of the most val
liable pieces of rock in the West.
The old timers who tell of the lay
ing of that cornerstone, declare that
it has never been touched, unless done
so maliciously, and as it would be a
hard proposition to empty that rock OF
its contents, it seems likely that II
NAV still hold the valuables.
1t is customary to lay cornerstone
at the northeast corner of building
and the men who told this story be
lieve this was followed when the In
ternational hotel cornerstone was laid
At any rate, the Enterprise viii ae-
cept large square stones that are
found at the corners of that lot, and
what's more, wen tell you how much
there was in il if we should happen &c
strike the right one.-Virginia City

ROCHESTER Mill
BEGINS grinding

The big Rochester mill, with a ca
pacity for handling 100 tons of ore
per day, Is In motion, grinding the
rock with gold and silver contents and
reducing the latter to bullion.
This event in the life of Rochester
is an auspieious beginning of the real
greatness of that district. Heretofore
only ores rating above the $40 mark
were shipped for reduction to smelling
points. This gave but limited oppor-
tunity for treatment of the large bod
les of ore that have been proven
throughout the district. The result
has been that the restricted produc-
tion and reduction has placed Roches-
ter with the foremost mining camps
OF America.
With milling plant to handle the
great quantities of ore blocked, on
dumps and in slopes, rating from Sc to
$20 a ton, there will be a new record
that will attract attention to this most
favored Humboldt county district such
as has been accorded to few districts
heretofore. The more than 100000 tons
of good ore in the Rochester mines is
a small item compared with the great
volume of milling ore in the district
for which the mill was designed. The
Rochester mines have enough ore in
sight to run the mill steadily for three
years.
To this must be added the larger
bodies of milling ore in the Buck and
Charley, Lincoln Hill; the Packard,
Limerick, Rochester Snowstorm, Octo-
pus, Original Rochester, Weavers, Red
Tops and other properties, demanding
| added treatment plants to meet the in
creasing requirement of Rochester.
The present mill is but compara-
lively small unit in the way of milling
and reduction requirements. One who
is fully conversant with the remarka-
Bile resources of this south Humboldt
gold and silver section remarked to
day:
This mill is only a drop in the
bucket to what will be required in the
way of reduction plants in Rochester.
Recent developments justify the state
ment that in another year, in order to
keep pace with production, 500 addi-
tional stamps will be distributed over
the different properties, to grind and
reduce the workable ores which can be
worked at handsome profit
Tne present mining 1aclntleS are
inadequate for the needs of the dis
trict, and since the ores can be work
ed at a profit, with proper milling ia
cilities, it follows, as night follows
day, that additional and larger mill
ing plants win be installed in the near
future 1t is no idle prophecy to say
that the district will, within a year,
employ more than $500 workers in
mines and mills, turning into fortunes
the great latent gold and silver de-
posits of the southern Humboldt range
of mountains

A DOG WITH SENSE
LIKE A MAN (SOME MEN)

When E. J. Ross and r. Nudge
went to the Wheeler mine Saturday
the ormer took his pet bull dog,
- Coally;' the story writer would add,
and thereby hangs tail;' we can
not truthfully so say, for Coally has
no tail, it was bobbed long ago.
But Coally did stunt--that sounds
more like twentieth century literature;
he got by under extraordinary circum-
stances; he made good in the pinch,
with dog sense.
While taking some measurements
twelve hundred feet from the mouth
of the tunnel, Mr.. Nudge and Mr.. Ross
missed Coally; it was decided that he
had fallen into a winze IS feet deep,
so they called repeatedly to the dog,
but no answer; at short intervals for
two hours and more the gentlemen
took turns at calling TO the dog from
the collar of the winze. No answer.
When it was time to start for Yer
ington they decided to call at the
winze Just one more time; in answer
to the call this time there came up
from the bottom of the winze a very
feeble whine.
1t was rs feet to the bottom, and no
ldQueI OF WiHuldoSt 81 ~ Noo uOSANON
to let Ross down with ropes. Several
men were summoned, and in a stout
sling Ross started; when half way
down the foul air got the best of him
and he was hoisted to the surface just
in time.
A big oil can filed with fire was let
down into the winze, to clear it OF
foul air, but the fire would not burn,
so some men went after a rubber hose
and forge bellows, with which to
pump air down.
In the meantime Mr.. Nudge had
worked piece of canvas into bas-
ket shap, with stays to hold it open at
the top; ropes were fastened to the
corners, and the arrangement was
carefully lowered to the bottom of the
winze. Mr.. Ross then called to the
dog: ''Get in, Coally.'
Nothing could be seen from above,
but in the breathiess suspense the lis
teners could hear the dog moving.
When the slack was taken from the
ropes the men felt weight, and it was
with intense joy the party saw the i'm
provised hoist come into view with
Coally standing upright therein, his
forepaws resting on the rim as though
he had been trained to the act. More
over the dog was not injured in the
slightest by his fall, although he must
have been completely knocked out for
more than two hours after he took the
plunge Valley News.

MAY ESTABLISH
MOVIE" BASE HERE

This morning C. L. Tobin, president
of the Humboldt County Chamber of
Commerce, received wire from ]. J.
Hurlburt, of Los Angeles. relative to
establishing moving picture equip
ment at this place. 1t was stated that
should the proposition materialize he
would employ from so to 100 people
permanently. Inquiry was made as to
whether his scheme would receive the
endorsement of the Chamber of Com
merce, and what financial assistance,
if any, would be rendered.
President Tobin has taken the mat
ter up, TO ascertain what financial as
sistance is expected, as the whole mat
ter would probably hinge on this point.
Moving pictures of local scenes,
with Winnemucca mountain for a
background, to be shown all over the
United States, would prove of greater
advertising value to the community
than could be secured by the expendi-
ture of thousands of dollars in ordi-
nary channels.

HOLY WEEK SERVICES
AT ST. PAUL'S CATHOLIC

This present week is termed Holy
Week by reason of the fact that this
solemn season commentaries many
events of Importance during the last
DAYS of the Savior's life on our earth.
Beginning on Palm Sunday, therefore,
and continuing on Wednesday, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, the services
are noteworthy for their impressive
ritual and replete with deep spiritual
significance. The first day of Holy
Week was the anniversary of Christ s
triumphal entry into Jerusalem, when
the citizens thereof acclaimed Him
with glad Hosannahs, strewing palms
along the way through which He was
to pass. In memory of this triumph
palms were blessed last Sunday in
every Catholic church and distributed
to the faithful.

LARGE ALUNITE DEPOS-
ITS DISCOVERED NEAR ELY

Roaming through the mountains
east of Ely, James McDonough, for
merly known as the silica king, came
in contact with a real fortune maker
when he discovered deposit of alum
ite, carrying Is per cent in potash
salts, says the White Pine News. 1t
portends the beginning of the potash
industry of this country and after
many disappointments the fortunate
locator has come to the frot with a
strike of probably greater Importance
than anything that has happened since
the immense deposits of low grade por-
phyries were commercialized. The tests
fol potash were made at the Mackay
school of mines in Reno.
While present work is but at shall
low depth, indications point to the un-
covering of commercial grade of pot
ash once sufficient depth has been att
tanned. If the property continues in
its present highly encouraging light it
will soon cease to be a speculative
proposition.
There has been a world shortage of
potash since the outbreak of hostili-
ties in Europe last August and the i'm
portance of unlocking the hidden de-
pOsits in this country were never of
greater Importance than now.
Before the old world was trans
formed into a blood red zone, the
United States and other countries were
dependent upon Germany for their sup
ply of potash. The potash trust and
its arbitrary methods at times threat
ened serious complications and its con-
duet on more than one occasion has
been the subject of diplomatic ex-
changes. No exports have been avail
able for the last several months.
In desire to be independent of the
exactions of the potash barons, the
United States geological survey has
sought throughout the country for the
desired chemical substance feeling cer-
tain that supply would be found. Ex-
plorations were conducted at Searles
lake in California and at Railroad val
ley in Nevada, without actual encour-
agement in the shape of results.
1.-THE man that made it and then
lost it, aptly applies to McDonough.
He acquired a neat competence from
a group of silica claims near McGill
and supplies the Steptoe company with
that product, until method was de-
vised by which only a limited amount
of silica was necessary in the smelt-
ing of copper ores.
The ore showings on his holdings are
improving and explorations have been
carried ON to such an extent that the
continuity and permanency of deposit
have been pretty well demonstrated,
while the prospect of extracting a COM
mercial grade of potash is proving up
to expectations. Mr.. McDonough ex-
poets to meet with the just and prompt
reward that will come to him through
the rejuvenation of the potash indus
try during war times, which has oe-
casioned considerable alarm in f1lus-
ing communities where the product IS
needed as fertilizer.
