Conditions generally point TO
prosperous times in Humboldt
county fer the coming summer.
These conditions are not confined
TO any particular industry, but to
al, interests and resources. Even
az the present time much activity
is shown in the Gimerent mining
camps and the farmers and ranch
ers are preparing for bountiful
crops, as the great snowfall has
warranted an abundant water sup
ply for irrigating purposes.
The cattlemen are jubilant for
the heavy rains and the abundant
snowfall of the winter has assured
them plenty of feed for the vast
herds of cattle, horses and other
stock on the different ranges
throughout the county, and, in fact
the whole state.
Not only will the range cattle
be in better condition, but it is
Understood that large numbers OF
stock cattle will be imported into
the state to replenish the present
herds that have been somewhat de-
creased on account of the large
sales made during the past year.
Not since the earlier days of the
ounty has there been so much
activity shown in the mining in
ddstry as at the present time and
it would not be surprising to see
Eum boldt county the banner pro-
ducer OF the different metals in the
state.
At a short distance from Win
nj Mountain Mining COM
pany is erecting a so ton mill
which will soon be ready for the
reduction of the large tonnage OF
gold ore that is blocked in the prop
erty and on the different dumps.
Al Ashdown. in the northwestern
part of the county, another mill is
being erected and it said there IS
plenty CT gold ore there to keep
the plant running for some years.
On the Western Pacific on what
is known as the Antelope range, a
reduction has just been ccmpleted.
The ores of the section contain
lead, silver and copper, appearing in
g ,o6-sized veins.
The camp of National, in tie
northern part of county, is one or
the most active sections in the
state. a production of in the neign-
borhood of $4,000, 600 in bullion.
In this same camp another great

dition of two lodges, each carrying

property is under development
and owned by the Buckskin Nation
al Gold Mining company. This
estate has wonderful showings Of
gold and silver ore and in some OF
the workings the ore exposed is
X ceptionally rich. This property
has undergone considerable devc.-
ment and there is enough ore
blocked cut to warrant the erection
of a reduction plant.
Roshester is another well known
camp that is making rapid strides
and is in a fair way to make n
OF the greatest silver producing
camus in the state.
The Seven Troughs district, out
from Lovelock, like National,
boasts of some of the richest gold
orc in the state. This camp has
already made a great production
and new orebodies are being u2-
covered there every day.
These are only a few of the
principal camps mentioned. Thee
are other places over the county
in a mining way and a great deal
of ore is being extracted.
The opening of the quicksilver
property south of Winnemuc"a
will create another great industry.
This property has been proved an l
at the present time a large plant is
being hauled there to reduce the
large of ore exposed.
At the camp of Toy, near Love-
lock, a tungsten mine is being
orened and a mill is reducing the
vel~able Gre to a marketable prod
uct.
This is a new industry that IS
creating considerable interest, for
other properties containing this
mineral have beer found.
Properties containing an ore Of
mclybdenite have also been found,
and copper prospects are being
opened at different sections.
Many of the other minerals use1
in the iron and steel industry, and
in great demand at the present
time, are known to exist here m
a general search for these miner-
ais will be made as soon as pros
pectors can get into the Mountains.
Humboldt county has great re-
sources, not only in mine devel-
ment but in agricultural possible
tiles which are unequaled anywhere
and Nevada is already prosperous.

OPERATING
! NEVADA CHAMPION
PROPERTY IN HUMBOLDT COUN-
TY HAS HICH-GRADE
COPPER ORE

w. b. Andrew, Of Salt Lake Cily,
has taken over the management
of the Nevada Champion mine in
New York canyon, and it is learned
from an authoritative source that
ne Las purchased stock interest
which give him control of the com
panya In preparation for the ship
ment of ore, Mr.. Andrew has raised
"a subscription of $1,000, to which
his company is a liberal subscriber,
to build a road around the dry"
lake to the railroad at Luning,
and has asked the railroad company
to put in a loading rack, so that
ore can be unloaded without show
cling.
The county supervisors ha e
agreed to assist in building the new
road. The dry lake, through
Which the road now runs, is any
thing but dry at times and often is
imrassable for teams in places.
The Nevada Champion has more
than a mile of underground work
Ings and a large tonnage of of ;
per cen to 6 per emf copper ore
developed. While nothing definite
has been decided, it is considered
quite likely that a mill will be
built later for the concentration of
the low grade ores.-Luning Let.

M|LLETT DISTRICT
HAS SILVER MINE
OLD PROPERTY WILL BE RE-
OPENED AND THOROUGH
LY EXPLORED

J. NJ. Jones left yesterday morn
ing for Park canyon to begin active
development on the H. & H. Mining
company's property. The company
owns a group of seven claims anu
the property is located five miles
west of Miliett. Some years ago IL
was worked by former owners AMI
was commonly known as the Giant
Hattie. Considerable stopping was
done and a large amount of ore
extracted.
Mr.. Jones states hat he will
start tunnel and shaft work at
once from the surface. Ledges
opened up on the property give gond
returns in silver, zinc and lead. re
says that he can ship at a profit 20
per- cent zinc, and lead running 50
to 40 per cent. He expects the
ore to run this well.
Mr.. Jones recently returned
from Honolulu where he conferred
with members of the H. & H. COM
pany and on his return to Tono-
pah he stopped at San Francisco
and ordered a 40-horsepower com
pressor, which will be operated by
gasoline.
1t is the intention of the man
aeement to ship the ore by team
to Austin and from there by rail
to the smelter. 1t is a 40-mile
heul from Park canyon to Austin,
aad tha teaming will he handled by
A. B. Millett.
A force of six men will be en-
plCyed at the start, and will be in
creased as the work progresses.
Mr.. Jones is of the opinion that
several other properties that have
lam idle for years win start VI
agein this year, as they are known
to have good silver, lead and zinc
values.-Tonopah Times.

The Theft of T~histledown is an
ideal baby-week play being set in
the co,l't of the queen of Fairy
land and enacted by children repre-
senting pixies, maids and fairies.
The theme of the playlet hinges on
the theft of an earth-baby from a
modern tenement home in n OF
our large cities by a tender-hearted
sprite called Thistledown, a general
favorite in Fairyland. The queen
of F~airyland of course handles the
situation in a competent manner
and metes out justice to Thistle
down and to the mortal earth
baby. The playlet is to be pre-
scented at the Exchange theater
on Friday, March 10. by a cast of
characters recruited from local tall
emit.
