PROSPfCT|YfROCH-
ESTER PRODUCERS

The annual work in Rochester on
ron-producing mines has had the effect
of exposing other prospective produe-
ers over the Rochester mineralized
area. On the Packard -Snowstorm Sec
tions of the annual work has laid bare
mineral bearing veins on a number Of
properties, which present the aspect OF
mine making advantages. The same is
true on the Lincoln Hill and Nenzel
Hill and of the district. The remark
able evidence is that the Rochester dis
trict is not restricted to two or three
mine properties, such as the Rochester
Mines, Lincoln Hill, Buck and Char
ley, Octopus, Raven and Packard, but
has numerous other prospects which
good as the foregoing mines mentioned
and which are the main three leasers
and operators have produced up to date
approximately $1,s00,000 from the va
ned producing properties.
At the present time the Packard
slope is attracting strong attention from
mining men and investors. The Pack
ard mine is proving bonanza. Its big
mill is reducing ore at the rate of 100
tons a day-ore that averages better
than $24 a ton.
Another property which is beginning
to show life in that section is the COM
pany development of what is known
as the Packard Extension Mining COM
rany, owning the five argentite claims
and adjoining the Packard proper with
the same vein system as that from
which the Nevada Packard is quarry
ing its mill and shipping ore. The Pack
ard Extension company has a number
of mineral bearing vens on its five
claims. The one on which principal
work has been done considerable high
class ore has been shipped therefrom.
The main work perfected for the de-
velopment of the property will be the
development of the main Packard lode
vein in its extension and argentite
claims; further on the company is sink
rg vertical shaft with a view of IN
tersecting the Packard vein at depth
and within sulphide deposition.
The Packard Extension Mining COM
pany in general way illustrates what
is being attained on Rochester Snow
storms on the Lincoln Hill CONSOLIDATE
cd. The Rochester Merger and other
allied developments The Packard
Extension is enforcing efficiency in its
development work and as a conse-
quence is attaining mine results that
forecasts larger production and gain
for the owners and those associated
in its development. This proof is an.
other evidence that with efficient mino
development new mines and producers
will be made out Rochester prospects
so promising over the districts wide
mineralized area.
1916 promises to be a banner year
for the great south Humboldt camp and
shows every evidence of becoming the
largest mine district of the West.

PARADISE VALLEY MAN
SPECTATOR AT BULIFIGHT

Mr.. and Mrs J. X. Harvey returned
TO Winnemucca yesterday, after an
absence of several weeks, and left to-
day for their home at Paradise Valley.
Their itinerary included visit to
the Panama Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco, after which they went to see
the San Diego show. From the latter
city daily excursion trains are run to
Tia Juana Spanish for +" Aunt Jane }
Mexico. II was intended by the pro
moters to make this city the Monte
Carlo Of the western hemisphere, with
winter racing and gambling games the
year round. However, the concession,
which was secured from Villa, has
been repudiated by Carranza, at least
until the promoters "come through
again, which they win probably do. In
the meantime, while there is no racing
going on, the brigands who are not
fighting for one of the many revolu-
tionary leaders, have arranged daily
iiestas' with many forms of amuse-
ment to separate patrons of the excur-
SION train mentioned from their di-
nero. -
Mr.. Harvey had the questionable
pleasure Of witnessing a sure-e enough

proper state of peevishness by man
in a red cloak, armed with darts which
ere hurled at the bull, are dispatched.
On the day Of Mr.. Harvey's visit, four
bulls We're let into the ring, but only
one was killed.
A vast~amount of money has been
spent at Tia Juana fitting up race
track. In addition to a large grand
stand and other accessories, there are
stables with stall room for seven hun

RECORD PRODUCTION OF
COPPER LAST YEAR

The production of copper in the
United States in 1915 passed all pre-
Vious records, accor ding to the United
states Geological Survey Preliminary
ngures and estimates have been col
lected by b. S. Butler, who has re-
celyed reports from all plants known
TO produce blister copper from domes-
tic ores and refined copper AT an av-
erage price of about 17.3 cents a
pound the output for 1915 has a value
of $236,000.00O, compared with sI52.-
$500 for the output of 1914.
The figures showing smelter produc-
ton from domestic ores represent the
actual production of most of the com
panies for eleven months and an esti-
mate of the output for December. The
figures of few companies for Novem
Der were not available and these COM
panies furnished estimates for the last
two months of the year. According to
the statistics and estimates received
the output OF blister and Lake copper
was 1866, 500 900 pounds in 1915.
against 1,150,137.000 pounds in 1914.
The output of refined copper from
primary sources. domestic and foreign.
for 1915 is estimated at 1,647, 900, 900
pounds, compared with 1.533,7S1, 600
pounds in 1914 and with the previous
record production of 1915, 900. 900
pounds in 1913.
The average price of copper for 1915
showed marked increase over that of
the preceding year. being about 17.3
cents pound, compared with 1873
cents in 1914.
At the beginning of the year the
price was relatively low. but steadily
advanced until it reached a maximum
OF about 20 cents a pound near the
middle of the year. During the last
half of the year the price remained
uniformly high.

TRAINER AGAIN
IN DEATH CHAMBER

The death watch was placed on J.
Frank TANNER at the state prison last
Saturday. Warden Dickerson is await
ing an order from the District Court
of Humboldt county fixing the time for
carrying out the death sentence.
Two indictments were returned
against TRAINER by the Humboldt
county grand jury. After the convie-
tion of his partner in crime, Nimrod
Uric, TRAINER secured a change of
venue to Washoe county, where he was
tried and convicted of the murder of
Eugene Quilici and sentenced to life
Imprisonment. He was thereafter tried
in the Washoe county court for the
murder of Mrs. Quilici, Judge Dueker
presiding, convicted and sentenced to
be shot. Owing to defendants appeal
to the Supreme Court, where the sen
tence of the lower court was recently
affirmed, it will be necessary for a new
Dc te to be set for his execution. For
this purpose Judge Ducker will prob
ably 90 to Reno during the next few
days, when TRAINER will be brought
to that city from the penitentiary and

Sam Platt,s Comment

In an interview in the Gazette on
Judge Norcross' candidacy for the
Senate, Sam Platt, who ran so close to
Senator Newlands at the last election
that many people believe he was elect
cd, has the following to say:
Probably no man In public life in
The state today has more greatly dis
tinguished himself than Justice Frank
II. Norcross. He has always proven
himself an able, conscientious and fear
less official and the announcement of
his candidacy for the United States
Senate undoubtedly holds a marked in
terest among Republicans of Nevada
and the electorate of the entire state.
On account of the undoubted Jealous
party fight that will be waged during
the next campaign it is well that a
number of active candidates from both
parties enter the lists, for the oppor-
tEnities for selecting the strongest
nominees will be all the greater
Owing to the very close margin
between Senator Newlands and myself
IT the last election, many of nv friends
have assumed that T shall again be a
candidate this year. Tt is more than
likely that / shall be. 1t is most graf
flying to have this opportunity to ex-
press publicly my unbounded gratitude
to the large number of voters, who
supported me at the last election. No
man ever entered a senatorial fight in
this state who had behind him more
loyal following or a greater number of
jealous and enthusiastic workers. and
no feeble words of mine can properly
express my heartfelt thanks to each
and all of them.
Whoever the nominee of the next
Republican convention for this great
office may be, / am certain he will lea
the party to victory The signs of the
times can not be mistaken. Nationally
and locally the needs of the country
ana state demand principles and poll
eies that will foster and encouraoe
American and state industries and
build us up for the welfare and pros.
perity of our people. -

SALE OF NEVADA
SUGAR COMP ANY

The property of the Nevada Sugar
company was sold yesterday TO Walter
j.. Oxtoby, representing the Detroit
bondholders for $345, Sigh, which rep
resents the principal and accrued in
terest. The bidding was devoid of any
spectacular incidents. The bids opened
at 100000 and advanced steadily in
sums of $4,000 until the final amount
mentioned was reached. There were
but three bidders, Judge L. N. French,
J. X. Duffy and w. +. Oxtoby.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
sugar company was held at the Office
of the company in Fallon on Thursday,
for the consideration of an offer made
by Mr.. Oxtoby, as attorney and repre-
sentative of the Detroit Trust compa-
ny and the Peoples Bank and the Pen
insular State Bank of Detroit, Mich,
to buy all the assets of the Nevada
Sugar company, real, personal and
mixed, subject to the mortgage and
order of sale for $1,000.
This action was necessary to place
the property at once in the hands of
the purchasers at the sale made yester-
day and obviate the delay that might
arise through operation Of the six
months right of redemption under the
statutes. OF the 1912 shares of the
capital stock issued 4645 were repre-
sented, either in person or by proxy.
With the foregoing action the Neva-
da Sugar company was divested of ali
its equity in the property and the new
owners will be enabled to enter upon
a campaign for the operation of the
factory uneneumbered by complications
that might arise under the possessory
right and redemption privilege of six
months. The property thus disposed of
