COKE BEING SHIPPED
TO THOMPSON SHELTER

Mr.. o. H. Some, of the McCon-
rell mine, who is getting out ore
for shipment to the smelter when
ii starts up early in the coming
year, was yesterday informed by
the manager of the plant that the
first shipment of coke was started
for the plant a few days ago.
Shipment of ore to the smelter will
begin within the next week or so.
1t is reported that the big freight
teams of Henry Slingerland have
been engaged to haul lumber IN

J.. M. Pine was in from his Anti
mony King property north of Gal

that he has encountered a foot and

which also carries an appreciable
quantity of grey copper. The ledge

though Mr.. Pine is conservative in his
estimation of the extent of the

the biggest body of high grade anti

GOOD COPPER ORE
FOUND NEAR lone

George N, Gooding, of upper
Reese river, was in Austin Monday
and Tuesday on business and reports
the discovery and location by HIM
self and associates of a promising
copper prospect a few miles this
side of lone, on the main travelled
road.
Mr.. Gooding says there are eight
distinct groupings of high-grade COP
per within a distance of 600 feet
on the new location. These crop
pings will be explored by surface
work at different points at once in
order to secure a knowledge Of the
formation and the general dip and

COPPER ORE
IN OLD MINE

VIM. Licking will soon start ship
which lies about six miles south of
Battle Mountain in the Alder creeK
district. This old property has a
good showing in copper, running
from 7R to 21 per cent. Men at
work at the mine nave sunk on
the ledge to a depth of 35 feet and
then drifted for a distance of 125
feet on ore of which several carloads
OF high-grade have already been
stopped u and shipped. Now hat
copper has more than doubled in
value all of this ore can be mined
at a profit.
1t is the intention of MI. Licking
TO sink 100 feet further during the
coming winter months and in doing
this he will be enabled to prove the
property to about 200 feet depth.
If the values continue with this
further development several good
shipments will be blocked out.
Several other groups in the Elder
creek district have good showings
opened up, and are owned by P. s..
Brooks, Lige Bingham and Scott
Spencer. If copper prices remain as
they now are there will be several
men working in this district in a
short time.
At present there are about $50
tons of ore shipped from Battle
Mountain each day. and with several
prospects being opened up that are
CT sufficient merit to be classed as
shippers, this big movement Of ore
can expect an appreciable increase
within a short time.-Battle Noun

CHERRY CREEK DISTRICT HAS
MARKED REVIVAL OF ACTIVITY

trolled by the Glendale Mining, Mill
ing C Power company are pursuing
earnest development work on good
sized bodies of fair ore. The mill
ing plant is working under adverse
conditions this weather, the build
ing not being closed in. Corrugated
iron has been ordered for three
months, but has been impossible to
obtain. The mill force under the
superintendent of Mr.. Ward. the
president of the company, are doing
noble work indeed and it is sur
rrising that the mill can be kept
running, especially that the nights
are so cold in that district thai
constant care has to be exercised
that frozen pipes and tanks do not
put them out of commission alto
gether.
Secretary Smith of the company
paid the camp a visit the past
week but was compelled to depart
for California hastily in a few days,
having contracted a severe cold
which threatened him with a bad at
tack of pneumonia, in fact it was
hard indeed to remove the impress
sion from his mind that he did not
have the disease.
Many old timers are on this
plant and when the names of Hand
some Harry Clinton and Brother
Jones are mentioned as being in the
mill it is accepted that the PROPOSE
ton has every element of success
connected with it, else they would
not be attached, or even ALLOW
their names on the company's pay.

The Odgers property located about

and bonded to Mr.. Ames of Lari-
ollie, Nevada, is shipping high-grade
copper ores. Shipments have been
made to the smelter at McGill for
test purposes and now there is
about sixty tons of ore on the plat
foim which will be held until one
hundred tons have accumulated
when the lot will be shipped 10

Coal Is

To discover whether or not coal
is being stolen from cars shipped
from the Utah coal fields into Idaho
n Nevada, a number of coal COM
panies are putting a coat of white
wash on coal shipped in open cars.
Complaints have been made by
dealers that the cars are arriving
at their destinations short weight,
and as there has been a disagree
ment between the roads and the
dealers as to whether a charge
should be made by the railroads for
Weighing cars at their destination,
1t was decided to whitewash the
top of the coal to determine whe-
Their or not it was being stolen.

mine, shipping one car of ore on
the 23d and a car now beirg
loaded which will leave for the
smelter on Dec. 2. The car being
shipped this week is concentrates

Another car of crude ore is ready
and will be shipped as soon as the
car of concentrates is loaded.
\ car of crude ore on the Witcher
lease was shipped very recently and
another is now being loaded at the
station. On this lease two auto
trucks are in commission and will
be kept at work as long as the wea-
ther permits and the roads hold
good, as there are as least two cars
more now on the dumps and ore is
being extracted every day.
A lease was let the past week to

ore is being taken from grass roots
at the present time and from virgin
ground that had not been even
scratched by the company.
The Payne and Molyneux leases

SCRUGHAM
IN CONFERENCE
ASSISTS IN PROMOTING
EERING EXPERIMENTAL.
TION BILL

Dean J. G.. Scrugham, Of the
state university, returned last week
from a brief eastern trip and re-
ports than in practically all Sec
tions of the country interest is be-
ing stimulated over the engineering
experimentation bill, which will De
presented to congress at tnis Ses-
sion. MI. Scrugham represented
the University of Nevada at a meet
ing of the Association of Land Grant
Colleges which recently convened IN
Washington. There were 800 de-
legates in attendance at this meet
ing, representing all Of the univer-
stiles of the United States receiving
| federal aid and also the related
federal bureaus Their endorse
! ment of the engineering experiment
station bill will do much for rs
passage.
Dean scrugham also attended .
meeting of a committee from the
National Research Council in New
York City, another organization
which recognizes the value of the
proposed bill. About forty college
presidents, engineers, and scientists
of eminence were present at this
conference, and plans for hand
ling the bill and details for efficiency
in publicity were considered.
The passage of this bill would
mean that Nevada would secure an
annual appropriation of $4,000 for
] the purpose of carrying on expert
, m~entation along lines of engineer
ing. 1t would mean that there
would be an adequate fund for in
v%estigating the underground waters
Of the state and to carry on pump
ing experiments as well as electro
chemical and metallurgical work.
Just as scientific agriculture is pro-
noted by the Hatch fund of $4,000
annually, the problems of modern
engineering could be met and sol
we'd with an equal fund, were an
experiment station established, or
ganized along the line of the agri-
cultural experiment station, accord
ing to the advocates of the bill.
The Morrill, land grant act, passed
by Congress in 1862, provided for
the establishment Of colleges whose
chief purpose was to be supported
by the revenue from grants of LAND
donated by the federal government
for this purpose. In Nevada the
land is known as the 80, O0O-acre
grant" and the university, colleges
of agriculture and mechanic arts
are dependent Upon this fund for
their maintenance. In 1887 the
Hatch Act, whereby the government
appropriated $4,000 annually for
the support of an agricultural ex-
pertinent station in each of the land
grant colleges, was passed by col
gress.
1t is now proposed to complete the
original scheme of federal educa-
ton by the establishment of an en-
cheering experiment station in each
state. Today with vast new fields
for research and discovery opened
up by the economic conditions
abroad, the friends of this new mea-
sure are urging the need of an ade-
quate fund with which to carry or
this work. There is scarcely an
industry in this state, they contend,
which would not ultimately benefit
in some way by the passage of such
a bill. Our two chief industries,
mining and agriculture, would be
the first to profit by it.
