MANY LOCATIONS
MADE IN COUNTY
OUTLYING CLAIMS IN DEMAND
AND PROOFS OF LABOR
SHOW ACTIVITY

Recent sales of mining proper
ties in the Cuprite and Jackson
Mountain districts, south and south
East of Goldfield, as well as in other
districts tributary to Goldfield, have
served to increase the volume of
work in the county recorders of
flee to fully double its former pro.
portions. Recorder Johnson has
reported that over 125 documents
had been filed in his office prior to
the 18th of the month.
The influx OF prospectors ana
others, anxious to obtain informa-
ton as to the annua, work on vari-
Gus claims throughout the county,
is due to the renewed activity in
the outlying districts of Esmeralda
county. The filing of locations pre-
dominates at the recorders office,
with proofs of labor and deeds to
new properties close behind.
The record for December, 1914
was equaled by that of 1915, and
the figures of last January will be
greatly exceeded this year. accord
ing to the statement made by the
recorder. The record for one day
was a total of 80 documents filed,
of which 20 we're locations, seven
proofs of labor and five deeds. The
average is being maintained at near
ly this figure daily.

WATSON SUFFERS
BRAIN COLLAPSE
THIRD BROTHER OF SAME FAM
lily TO BECOME VIOLENT -
LY INSANE

Yves Watson, well known locally
as a prospector and miner, was at
tackled by a fit of insanity at his
lease in the Stimler district early
Saturday. He was Immediately tied
hand and foot by his associates and
a call was sen to Sheriff ingalls,,
who departed for Silver Crown FOR
the demented man.
Upon the arrival of the sheriff,
Watson, after a few moments,
Gained down and permitted Sheriff
ingalls, to loosen the bonds on his
feet. With only a pair OF hand
manacles restraining his movements
he was brought by the sheriff to
the local court house. Watson
is improving mentally, but the Of
ficials are caring for him and are
taking no chances of his becoming
violent.
A particularly sad feature in
connection with the case of Watson
is that he is the third brother TO
lose his mental balance. This is
the second time that he has become
mentally deranged. The first at
tack came on several years ago,
when he was taken by a brother
to Los Angeles for treatemnt. While
in the coast city the brother him
self succumbed to a similar at
tack and departed for the desert
immediately.
When he arrived at Tonopah, the
brother went violently insane ara
the officials there sent him to the
ASYLUM at Reno. where he died. n
other brother went violently insane
1T his home in Manhattan. Action
on the case will not be taken until
the sheriff's office determines upon
the results of the present treatment.

hence was called "ouro preto"-
black gold. The city which they
founded was long called Villa RIGA
de Ouro Preto-the Rich City of
Black Gold a name which was
somewhat cumbersome, even for
the Portuguese, so they finally
shortened it to just Ouro Preto, the
name by which it is known today.
Once upon a time it was about
the most important city in Brazil,
gold working surrounding it and
the valuable metal being obtained
from the gravel of almost every
stream in the region. Not only the
stream gravels yielded gold, but
many gold-bearing quartz veins
were worked.
Just when the MORO Velho was
first opened is not known, but it
was being operated toward the
close of the 18th century, and con-
siderable work had been done when
the present company obtained con-
troll of it in 1894.
Vein Is Great Fissure
The orebody consists of a great
vein of unusual persistence and
regularity that dips into the earth
at an angle of about As degrees.
1t may be likened to a gigantic
knife blade, held vertically and
thrust into the earth at this angle
with tie point still lower than the
present deepest workings. And it is
these workings that make the mine
remarkable.
The combined depths of the
connected shafts give a total of
1924 feet. In other words, here is a
gold mine that is being worked at
a depth of more than a mile below
the surface of the earth. Now be
It remembered that the rock tenn
peratures increase as the earth's
crust is penetrated, in some IN
stances the increase being as much
as one degree for each so to so
feet increase in depth. At this rate
the temperature at the bottom of
this mine would be ove 100 de-

and fried ham and eggs might be
prepared for the miners without
any other heating apparatus than
the loose rocks lying about.
Great Heat at Depth
Incidentally the miners would be
going through the frying process,
too. Fortunately, however, in this
mine the rate of increase of tenn
p%erature is only one degree for
every 100 to 100 feet, giving the
rocks a temperature of only 112
degrees. BY forcing cooled al
down into the mine by means of
fans the temperature is lowered to
a little less than 100 degrees. Even
at that it is rather snug, and the
miners usually wear only shoes,
donning trousers when company is
expected.
Still, the mine has produced a to-
tai of about $4,000. 900 worth of
gold, and is being worked now at
a profit of something over 100000
annually.

Worlds Deepest Mine Workings
Are Said to Be In South America

Where is the deepest mine in the
world? This is a question very
few people in this country can an
swer correctly. Even most mining
experts would probably make a
wrong guess-unless they had made
rather exhaustive inquiries anent
the subject-for it is located in a
section of the world where you
would least expect to find it.
In the forests which owe the
hills which cluster about the mouth
of the mine wild monkeys are
c~hattering and jumping about from
limb to limb of the graceful palms
which afford them food as well as
shelter, while among the bright
hued flowers exquisite orchids watt
their perfume and display their
beauty for the benefit of these imp
ish progenitors of man. Birds of
rare plumage fit in and out among
the shadows and the gorgeous red
blue-yellow macaws add their rau-
cous voices to the medley of sounds,
while splendid butterflies wave
their large wings of ~irridescent blue
and green and gold to enhance the
riot of color in these tropic realms.
A Land Of Romance
Tropic realms? Verify, for the
deepest mine-gold or any other
metals located in Brazil. 1t is
near a place bearing the euphonious
name of Villa Nova de Lima, in
the state of Minas Geraes, about
$50 miles north of Rio de Janeiro.
1t has been worked, more or less
Systematically, for something over
80 years, and yet few of us in the
United States have ever heard of
the place, much less of the mine,
which is known as the Moro Velho
and is owned and operated by an
English company.
Last year two young professors
of geology, Benjamin lie Roy Mil
Ter of Lehigh university and Joseph
i "diu, Olp VI JoHuo IlOp-
kins, struck out for foreign parts
and wendell their way over the hid
den ~recesses of the western hemis-
phere.
They investigated almost all the
known mining districts of the south
ern continent and brought back
with them a vast store of informa-
ton relative to the mineral wealth
of the various countries visited,
and it was in Brazil that they found
this unusual and in some respects
unrivaled gold mine. They tel
about it in an article in the De-
cember number of the Bulletin OF
the pan-American Union, from
which the following facts are taken:
Worked i'm Seventeenth Century
The Moro Velho mine Is located
in the gold belt of Brazil, where
the Portuguese were first induced
to settle by the discovery of the yell
low metal. The first gold was
discovered in 1899 neal the present
city of Ouro Preto. The gold was
coated with a black substance ana

QUESTION Il RAISED OF STAND
ING OF MANY AMATEUR
FIGHTERS

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan I5.-Nol-
withstanding the act hat the voters
of California expressed their DIS
approval Of professional boxing and
voted it out of existence at a re-
cen election, the professional tour
round promoters are ~disregarding
the law and continue to stage -four
round affairs just as of yore without
any apparent disposition on the
part Of the authorities to inter
fere.
Out and out professionals such
as Willie Meehan, Willie Hoppe, Lee
Johnson, Charlie Miller, Bob Nc
Allister, frankie Jones and others
have been seen in action at the
regular weekly bouts which are
staged every Friday night. If bona
fide amateurs have boxed In shows
at which these men have appeared,
the Pacific Amateur Athletic union
has a big house cleaning on its
hands and the inaction of this or
,ganization in regard to the matter
has been the source of no little crit
icism.
1t is the general opinion that in
view of the favor with which box
ing is held by a large number OF
ring enthusiasts, the authorities are
allowing it to proceed as long as
the public is willing to allow it
to continue.

Chicago, April 1S.-Reports that

OF wheat, and so, too, did rains which
threatened delay to seeding In the
northwest. Quotations closed firm,

$1.14ss a lsc and July at s1.l4h
Corn gained 1sc to 9sc up, and oats a
shade to y "a &c.
In provisions the outcome varied
from 2isc decline to a rise of Il 1sc.
At first the wheat market showed
much depression. largely as result
of uneasiness regarding the submarine
issue with Germany.
Word that the American note to
Germany would go forward tonight or
tomorrow failed to give more than a
temporary check to optimism of wheat
buyers in the late dealings.
Seaboard demand lifted corn.
Oats rose with corn.
Provisions, although weak early,
were afterward inclined to bulge. The
market seemed to be governed by the
course of prices on grain and hogs.
