: shipping ore. 1t so happened that
Jones was the only man to visit the
tunnel after the cave-in, and, conse-
Iquently, the only one aware of the ex-
istence, in Alasco company ground, of
a body of payable ore. Now, l know
you are wondering what Jones did, and
herein was the real test of 'blown-i in
| the bottle honesty. The new find,
probably developed, would have made
the company stockholders a big bunch
of money but there was no civil law
that would oblige Jones to make public
the fact that in the caved tunnel there
was the wealth of Vilderbant, al
though he had battle royal with his
conscience that was almost equal in
fury and intensity to that which has
been raging, for SO long a time, in
the slaughter of high ideals and high
principles, for financial ability won out
over moral attribute, and Jones, acting
within the requirements of the Law
began buying in the stock of his fellow
shareholders at a cent or so a share
when, If the real facts and conditions
had been known by these very share
holders the stock was really worth dol
lars a share. But the stockholders
were ignorant, and Jones, with his
conscience we'll subdued and trained
to stand without hitching, reasoned
within himself that what they didn't
know wouldn't hurt them, which is
Villainious lie if there ever was one,
and as hypoertical as it is vicious. In
mine and then, and not until then, did
he begin any work towards developing
the new ore body, and it was ont more
than a week before he had cleaned
away the debris and disclosed a six
foot shoot of clean shipping ore. With
such a showing he had no difficulty in
selling the property to an eastern syn
dictate for over half million, and to-
day, he Is looked upon as being a rich
man, grown suddenly wealthy because
of the association of q little money
with an abundance of good judgment
But, there are certain of the old
shareholders of the Alasco who feel
that they have been jobbed and out
ragged, but who are helpless as ten
derfoot who has been abandoned in
the bottom of a 10s-foot winZe, for
there was no doubt but that Jones had
acted within his rights within the law,
and adherence to the law necessarily
implies honesty
Il want to tell you, old long ears"
concluded the prospector II know the
soundness of your neart, but regret
your feeble intellect which can hard
ly grasp the difference between the
honesty of the law and the honesty of
the heart. The difference exists, how
ever, and believe me, the man who
combines the two in perfect unity is
the one against whom there is never
reason to complain; and there you are,
and then some"

NINE PATENT DEFINED.
Decision Also Gives Limitations o
ExtraIateraI Rights.

The conclusiveness of a patent to
mineral land as evidence of title and
the scope of extralateral rights were
the two principal points passed on
by the United States circuit court of
appeals, eighth circuit, in the late
case of Conkling Mining company, VS..
Silver King Mines company 230 fed
eral reporter, $50.
1t is held that such a patent is in
the nature of a judgment which, in the
absence of direct proceedings brought
to cancel it, it is conclusive as to the
existence of all facts required by law
as basis for issuing a patent, includ-
ing location by the patentee upon the
tract covered by the patent, filing of
application, posting of notice, filing of
certificate of Improvements, etc. In
other words, where no proceedings
have been brought to annul the patent
on the ground of fraud or error of
law in it's issuance, an adverse claim
ant of the land will not be permitted
in collateral litigation, to offer evil
dence tending to show facts that
would invalidate the patent.
The court reaffirms the rule that
owner of mining claim has no ex.
tralateral rights beyond his end lines
extending vertically downward, ex-
cept that when by mistake a locator
places his claim across instead of
along the vein or lode which he dis
covers, so that the latter crosses the
side lines of his claim, his side lines
become his end lines and he may
follow the lode or vein on it's dip
beyond the vertical plane of the end
line of his claim. But" the court
adds, this is special privilege, an
exceptional right, and the burden was
on the defendant to bring itself within
the exception"

YOUNG MISSOURI MINERS.
Boys 7 and 10 Work Smallest Mine
and Make Profit.

mining and Engineering WORLDLY
What constitutes the smallest prof.
table mining operations on record
have just been automatically reported
from Everton, a small mining camp
northeast of Joplin, Mo. The two sons
of Harry KillingsWorth, respectively
aged z and 10 years old, persuaded
their father, who owns a lease in that
camp, to let them have a play lease
of 10 feet square out of the corner of
his lease and let them play working
it, This he did and made for them
a toy windlass, whose capacity was
limited to a water bucketful of dirt
at o time. This was duly set up on
the lease and the boys started a little
shaft about three and half feet in
diameter. They carried on their oper-
atoms in every respect just like their
father did, only short distance away,
and at a depth of about two and
half feet the boys actually struck
pay dirt" in a gray silicate of zinc
ore. The boys hoisted this soft ore
by the bucketful and took out the first
week five wash tubs full of this pay
dirt. Their father helped them get it
down to the creek and showed them
how to wash it, where he had his own
wash place, and kept the mineral
separate and sold it for them at the
end of the week. Their check amount
ed to $21.40 and Everton celebrated the
making of two new mine operators
whose first venture was successful,
and at the earliest age ever known.

Nowadays, makers of mining mach
inery usually maintain testing plants
for the demonstration of their own
devices, where prospective customers
can test ore under the supervision of
their own engineers or representatives.
The comparisons that can thus be
made leaves little opportunity for
serious error in mill construction, a
condition of affairs decidedly dissim-
liar to that of but few years ago,

PRINTER MINES POTASH
IN OLD DUMP OF ASHES
SAGE BRUSH USED FOR STEAM
YEARS AGO PRODUCED ASHES
HAVING 7 p. C. POTASH.
(Salt Lake Mining Review

Nohil A~dhS Mining fteNleW.1
Nevada is truly wonderful state
and one of diversified possibilities
Even mining there takes a diversity OF
forms, for If interest in the regular
methods of procuring minerals lags
for moment that state at once pro-
duces something unique-as witness
the mine above ground at Tuscorora.
This is not along the line of the ex-
traction of nitrogen from the atmos-
phere, for that can be done anywhere
and air in one state is as good as in
another. But Nevada has something
different: potash mine" the like of
which probably exists nowhere else
in the world.
Steamins With Sage Brush.
About thirty years ago there was a
milling plant at Tuscorora, in Elko
county, which was operated by steam,
And fuel for steam plants in those
days was about as scarce in Nevada as
good fellows at a prohibition conven-
ton. The company used sagebrush
hauled in from the surrounding coun-
try by Chinese contractors who kept
several hundred men at work. 1t
took an enormous amount of brush to
keep the furnaces in operation month
after month, and the result was that
the face of nature was denuded din the
vicinity for a distance of twenty or
thirty miles. And the ashes We're
wheeled from the plant and dumped in
an ever widening circle as time passed,
until, when the mine closed down, they
were stacked to a height of from fifty
to one hundred feet and covered sew
eral acres. And so they have rested
in peace for years, and We're practically
Ashes to Potash.
But it has turned out that this is not
to be a case of ashes to ashes and dust
to dust, but rather one of ashes to
potash and thence to market. 1t has
been known for long time that sage
brush is rich in potash, and the report
has been widely circulated during the
past few months that system has
been devised for its extraction from
the ashes by means of kiln treatment.
This statement naturally came to the
attention of Frank Hertzer we'll
known linotype operator of Tonopah,
during his regular task of turning out
proof 1t so happened that he had
spent the early years of his life in
the vicinity of the old mine at Tus-
to the great ash dump in the famous
camp.
Cost of Extraction So a Ton.
Mr. Hertzer, instead of dreaming Of
hazy possibilities, at once secured an
option on the property. The ashes be-
ing of no apparent use to the company,
were secured at a reasonable price,
and the new owner, in theory at least,
will run no more linotype machines.
For the dump is estimated to contain
at least one hundred thousand tons of
containing seven per cent po-
fash and worth approximately twenty
two dollars a ton. Cost of extraction
is said to be under two dollars per
ton.
This mine above the ground" is
merely another example of the great
possibilities of mining; and those who
wish may also draw moral regard
ing the man who keeps his eyes open.
The story upsets a theory, too, in the
fact that it proves that once in a
great while it is possible for a news
paper man to amass great wealth.

Governor Harris, while here today
ordered the executive office at the

declaring a reward Of $3.50 from the
state for the recovery of Walter Wade,

man.
Two hundred and fifty dollars have
been offered as a reward for the dis
covery of the dead body of Walter H.
Wade, according to notice now being
published. 1t says-Apply at the Bank
OF Leslie.
With the announcement of large re.
wards for the body of young Wade,
the missing young Leslie business
man, the search takes on new life.
The entire county is being awaken
ed to the necessity of finding the body
of Wade, and at the least some traces
of him since he disappeared about 10
O'Clock Thursday night, August nth.
Week Has Passed.
One week tonight-at 10 o'clock, has
almost elapsed since Wade was lasr
seen. The real search for him was not
begun until Sunday afternoon, when
relatives and friends from Leslie Join
ell in the alarm that he was missing.
The authorities have nothing new to
announce. Each night finds them busy
on the case.
The people living in the section near
Andersonville, where some evidence
was found, have been put on notice of
the reward, and they are now search
ing the woods, swamps and creeks for
the signs of Wade's body.
All of this work is going on in the
face of some persistent contentious
that Wade IS not dead, but has left
this section. Not a single reason for
these conclusions have yet been ad-
been advanced.
