HUMBOLDT QUEEN IS
WORKED UNDER BOND
PROPERTY WAS FAMOUS AS
PRODUCER DURING EARLY
MINING PERIOD

Announcement is made that a
lease and bond on the famous old
Humboldt Queen property, near tle
mouth of Sacramento canyon, three
miles northeast of Oreana, has been
granted by A. Zunini of Lovelock to
X. II. Rowland of Oreana and asso-
ciates, who are making arrange
ments to put a force of men %
work immediately.
The Queen was mined in the ear
ly '7Os before the days of the rail-
road, and the ore was transported
to Sacramento and Salt Lake City
by OK team, and some OF it was
shipped to Swansea, Wales. Silver
was then around $1.30 an ounce,
and the mine could re operated
prcfitably by passing up the low
grade ore. The great caverns and
Slopes in the mine. big enough to
hold a large dwelling house, testi-
fy to the size OF the deposits, from
which several million dollars are
reputed to have been taken.
Owing to the crude mining meth
eds then in vogue, it is possible
that rich deposits were overlooked
and hal the Humboldt Queen may
again come into very active life.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY HAS
ANOTHER RICH DISCOVERY

One of the newest finds in the VI
cinity of Lovelock, which is now
awaiting returns on a 25-sack ship
ment of high-grade, is the strike
of Sydney Wilson and w. G. Mccoy
in Grayson canyon, about eight miles
from Cinnabar mountain and 40
miles from Lovelock, where black
metal ore, said to be silver chloride
running 1900 ounces, has been I'M
covered. The shipment was made
from Lovelock from picked rock,
the average Of which Is expected to
be very high. The owners claim to
have a four-foot ledge which has
been opened by open cuts in four
places along the strike. The pay
streak runs from four to 16 inch
es through the vein, and in places
some of the richest silver ore ever
found in this section is disclosed

NATURALIZATION TOO
EASY IN SWITZERLAND

LONDON, Jan. special re-
strictions on the use of Swiss pass
ports are being enforced by an the
entente countries, owing to the ease
with which Swiss citizenship al
be obtained in some sections of the
republic. The business of naturali-
cation in Switzerland is in the hands
of the municipalities, and although
ordinarily two years residence Is re-
quired, this may be waived by the
local authorities.
According to advices which have
reached the British authorities Ger
tain villages near the German from
tier have recently been granting
naturalization to a considerable
number Of Germans, STIMULATING on
ly that the applicants must pay $l7o
in lieu of the customary residence
provision.
In view of these recent n%aturali-
cations the British authorities will
hereafter require every person trav-
cling with a Swiss passport to pre-
sent also his naturalization or birth
certificate.

DISTRICT
FAST MAKING GOOD
DISCOVERIES OF RICH ORE En-
COURAGED BY RESULTS

Frank Wilson and Murray Scott,
locators of the Nevada Lincoln
group of mines in this county, near
Alpine, were in town last week, the
latter went to Reno, while Will
son returned to the claims to over
see the development work hat is
now being actively prosecuted since
the incorporation of the company
last month.
The principal work now in prog
ress is the driving of a tunnel TO
cross-cut the three known veins
that outcrOp on the surface. 1t is
expected that this tunnel will cut
the largest oreshOOt at about 200
feet in depth and thus provide a
large block of stopping ground. The
tunnel is now in about $50 feet and
it is estimated that about 60 days
more will be required to drive it
to the point where the big vein will
be encountered. Two shifts of men
are now employed in this work.
The property is coming up fully
to the most sanguine expectations
of it's locatOrs, who have spent the
summer since the discovery last
June in opening up and proving the
property by open cuts and shallow
shafts on the various veins. in

been exposed and extracted a con

tended it would prove, one of the

Thirty samples recently taken
from all parts of the property gave
returns ranging from IS to $50 per
ton in gold and silver with an
average for all of 5000, values be
ing 35 per cent gold and 65 per
cent silver. In character the ore
strongly resembles that at the Ne

discovered by Murray Scott, ana

COPPER CLAIMS
BEING WORKED
CUPRITE DISTRICT LIKELY TO
BECOME HEAVY PRODUCER
OF RED METAL

Interest of local mining men
continues to he directed to the Gu
prite mineral belt. 13 miles south
OF Goldfield. where developments OF
great importance r foreshadowed
by the purchase of large groups of
copper-bearing claims by wealthy
copper mining interests and the be
ginning of active development WORK
on these properties. Mining men
of wide experience in the field of
D p mining declare that this dis
trict is possessed of a surface snow
ing hat is not surpassed by any OF
the great copper producing districts
of the country and that the forma-
ton is identical with and quite as
favorable as that of Bisbee.

embracing approximately 900
acres and a force of miners is 10Y
engaged in sinking two shafts and
in prospecting the surface for COP

PROPERTY At
lUM|MG To RESUME
COLD AND TUNGSTEN FOUND IN
DEVELOPING GROUND OF
PROMISE

Work has been resumed on the
property of the Luning-Idaho Min
ing company, as we'll as on the prop
erty of the Luning Gold Mines COM
pany, which has recently been tax
en- over by a new company now be-
ing formed, called the r. b. Todd
Mining company.
Forces are now working on both
properties and the outlook is very
encouraging. On the copper prop
erty recent work has extended the
mineralized zone to over 5000 feet
with a probable width of 800 to so"
feet. They are now taking out high
grade copper ore from a 12-foot
yein crossed in the Hahn tunnel,
and shipments will go forward ear
ly next month. The Hahn tunnel
is o in about $50 feet and has
about 20 feet more to run to en-
counter the ore on the granite con
tact. This body of ore on the sur
face is about 80 feet wide and un,
limited supply a be had when
this connection is made and will
give a back of about 200 feet.
On the gold mine they are run
ming a tunnel under known bodies
on the Edith claim and within 80
days should be shipping from that
property and able to handle the ore
economically. Some $1,000 worth
of gold ore was recently shipped
from this claim, but on account OF
the pen Of handling, shipments
were discontinued until this tunnel
could be run without being obliged
to handle the ore eight times be
fore loading on the cars. On that
property they have recently discov-
cred a showing of scheelite which
may add materially to the valuc
the property. Tungsten in that sec
ton is now all the rage.
1t is reported on good authority
that they have struck ore in tn"
1000 level on the Giroux property.
This is probably the most important
development ever made In this dis
trict.-Western Nevada Miner.

NEW ARM Is GRATED
ON BODY or SOLDIEI,

LONDON, Dec. %. A new
arm stump has just been grated
upon the body of a British officer,
who lost both arms in action and
came back recently with a group Of
exchanged prisoners from Germany.
His arms weer amputated so close to
the shoulder as to leave no stumps.
One of the most brilliant of Lon
don's surgeons has now built out a
new stump to which an artificial
arm may he attached. He did this
by taking out a piece of bone from
the patients leg and cutting a
flap of skin from his body. Mus
cles were attached to the bone, so
that the stump can he guided.
