cattle tick. Twelve men, owning 2lSI
LARRY cattle. enrolled in the new or.

TRANSPORTATION is
FACTOR IN MINING

The matter of transportation of
ores from mines tn railroads is an
important factor TO be considered
in the operation of mines IN out-of-
the-way places not reached by rail-
reads. 1t is often the cost of such
transportation that determines whe-
Their or not profitable operation is
possible. Where wagons hauled by
horses or mules are used the weight
of the load is rather limited and
much time is consumed in transit
Since the introduction of the motor
truck this efficient means of trans
portation of ores, etc, between
mines, mills and railroads is steadily
finding increased favor. By use of
the motor truck or tractor in place
of animals, haulage costs can be
greatly diminished, and the haul
age capacity increased. Mining

MAY HAVE MINE
At jobs PEAK
BORLAND FINDS ORE OF GOOD
GRADE NEAR CARSON
CITY

W. B. Borland, who was in Carson
yesterday. had some specimens
of ore taken from the big vein which
he is working. They are fine look
ing specimens, and are said to assay
about $3.50 to the ton in gold Sill
yer and copper.
The property is known as the
Borland mine, and is located on the
big peak just to the south of Jobs
Peak on the west side of Carson
Valley. Many prospect holes have
been sunk in the big mountain, and
ore similar to that shown has been
found in about so places.
A sample taken across the ledge
for about 40 feet shows good pay
ore. The sample was taken In a
cross-cut tunnel near the surface,
and Mr.. Borland is so well salts
fled with the looks of the ground
in this tunnel that he is about to
begin work on another tunnel fur
Their down the hill, to strike the
ledge at about $50 feet below the
surface.
The mountain is in ideal site for
a tunnel, as depth is gained at about
foot for foot of tunnel. The SAM
pies of ore shown, vtry much re-
semble the best ore taken from the
mine of Hyers Upton and Sanford
near the mouth of Kings canyon,
above Carson. The country is SEEM
ingly the same as what is known
as the Frenchman's property near
Jacks valley, and in line with it..
The country from Carson to Jobs
Peak has been gone over by pros
pectors for the past so years, and
they have almost invariable found
rock similar to that shown by Mr..
Borland. This is considered an in
dication that there is a big body of
rich gold, silver and copper ore
somephere in the range, and Mr..
Borland thinks he is on it.
There is an abundance of bis
timber handy to the property, and
plenty of water power to work the
ore. For the present everything has
to be carried up the high mountain
either on the backs of men or mules.
The altitude is about 10000 feet

Engineers have concluded an ex-

tunnel driven to intersect the vein

is filled with loose material which

STABBING
IN T0NOPAH BAR
DRUNKEN MAN WHO HAD BEEN
ELECTED, USES POCKET
KNIFE

f. w. Riley. proprietor of the Blue
Ribbon bar on lower Main street
in Tonopah, was fatally stabbed at
his place of business at IL O'Clock
Saturday night by Charles Comis-
ford. who had become noisy and
abusive in the saloon and was order
ed out by the proprietor. Riley was
taken to the county hospital. where
he died one hour later. Comisford
was caught by Night Officer Grant a
few minutes after the stabbing and
placed in jail.
According to reports, Comisford
refused to leave the place when or
dered out and Riley led him to the
door and requested him to depart
quietly. AS Riley turned his back to
re-enter the saloon. Comisford
stabbed him. Riley then faced his
assailant and received a second cut
in the groin. The main artery in
his leg was severed. causing him to
bleed p~rofuselv and death was due
to loss of blood.
Comisford was drunk at the time
and is said to bear an unenviable
reputation that when intoxicated he
becomes ugly and seeks trouble. He
is said to have killed a man several
years ago at Ludwig, Nevada, claim
ing that the man had attempted to
hold him up.
The dead man had just gone into
business and had opened the doorA
to the public for the first time Sat
urdav night. He bore an excellent
reputation. He a unmarried and
has relatives in the east, who were
advised of his death.
The knife used by Comisford was
an ordinary pocket-knife with a
blade two and one-half inches long.

House Destroyed by Dynamite

An explosion that demolished
most of the building occurred at the
ranch house of William Metcher near
Carson a few days ago. Two miners.
who were working a prospect neal
the ranch and taking their meals at
the Metcher home, left 81 sticks of
dynamite outside the house while
they were eating their lunch. They
were seated at the table when the
dynamite, from an unknown cause,
exploded. An adjoining room was
wrecked and the dishes on the table
at which they were seated were
smashed by the conclusion, but
though there were five people seat
ed at the table. none was Injured.

COALITION DEEP
LEVELS FLOODED
HEAVY FLOW OF WATER WILL
RETARD EXTRACTION OF
RICH ORE

While preparations were under
way for taking out the rich ore in
the recent strike in the Bird Wine
below the 17OO-foot level at the
Seven Troughs Coalition mine, a
flow of water was encountered
which has already flooded the work
ings to the 1900 level. The water
is still rising, with no apparent
abatement.
1t was planned, at rs feet be-
low the 1~700-level, to establish a
station for prosecuting into the
footwall to the veins. While work.
ing so feet below the level, at 2:3
o'clock on Monday afternoon, a
flow of water, unprecedented in the
history of the mine. was struck.
Operations were temporarily sus
pended, and arrangements for the
unwatering of the mine with all
possible speed wee made.
A statement from the manage
ment was to the effect that the
y VI JlLHo Icquiicu lol Ibc
renewal of mining was impossible
to estimate accurately, depending
upon the amount of damage done
to the Slopes, levels and drifts
which were flooded. Much lost
ground will probably have to be
regained, but the mine will be
working full blast soon.
A special sinking pump, with a
200 gallon capacity was expressed
Immediately, and arrived yesterday
morning. 1t was taken to the mine
and installed.
AS soon as the seriousness of the
situation became apparent, a tele-
gram was sen ordering the pump,
which was sent here with all
speed possible by express, and met
by a crew from the mine at 5
o'clock yesterday morning.
The pump was loaded on a truck
and taken up to the mine, where
work of installation has begun.
The deposits of rich ore ON
the north drift of the 1700-fOOt
level, and the five veins running
from six to 10 inches, IS feet be-
low this level gave promise that
August would be a red-letter month
in the mines career 1t will be
several weeks before 1t will be
possible, it is believed, te get at
these rich deposits.
The pumping equipment will be
worked to it's full capacity to re-
lieve the water. On Wednesday,
the water was rising at the rate of
