Packard was on the verge of a
fuel famine this week when j. c.
Broulett drove in from Oreana with
six tons of coal and relieved the
situation.
1t took him ali dthe 10 horses
hitched to his wagon, three Gays
and two nights to make the dis
lance of about IA miles. The team
was so thoroughly exhausted from
the exertions of it's trip that Brou-
lett found it necessary to rest them
a couple of days at Packard be-
fore he started blck.
Broulett's team was the first to
enter Packard since a week ago
last Saturday. The storm hat be-
gan on that day, continuing up in
the mountains with undated fury
for almost a week, made the roads
impossible with show for either
wagon or auto.
Broulett would not have attempt

MINER IS LOST IN
TONOPAH WORKINGS
LOSES WAY AND WANDERS
ABOUT UNDERGROUND IN
DARKNESS

About 4:3O o'clock Wednesday
afternoon Alex Smith, mine super
intendent of the Tonopah Elk, and
John Murray, mine foreman of the
same property, were in the hoist
room of the No. 1 shaft when sud-
denly the signal bell rams for the
cage and then souned the distress
signal. AS the day shift had come
off at $3.50 and no one was sup.
posed to be i'll that part of the mine
at that hour of the day, everyone
within hearing distance was startled.
Jorn Murray was lowered to the
bottom of the shaft with all pos
sible speed. where he found a very
much frightened man, who a NJ
idea wrere he was and had nj
light. After being brought to the
surface he recovered sufficiently to
he able to explain in brokeE Eng
lisb how he came to be in that pre-
dicament. He gave his name rs
Mike Rokovich and said he had been
working for the Tonopah Mining
only a few days.
When the shift vent off Wednes-
day afternoon he became separted
from ris companions and lost his
way. In a short time his light wen1
out. but he kept on walking and fl

The Extension shaft, where he was
able to summon help. 1t was an
experience fraught with danger aud
one that might easily have ended

With copper ranging in price at
above zoe a pound there ought to
he an incentive to the opening up Of
many copper properties in Humboldt
county. 1t has long been known
that the county, together with the
precious metals, abounos In the red
metal. There is hardly a district
that does not have it's copper pros
poets and in many instances are
rich in this useful material.
Perhaps the largest copper section
in the county is in the Jackson
range, which extends from nea,'
Quinn river crossing to the Hum
boldt river. For a distance of over
40 miles can be found o%utcrops Of
copper-bearing ore. Around the
Jackson creek section of the district
there has been considerable devel-
opment work accomplished, with the
result that lareg copper deposits are
exposed. Most Of these properties
are owned by eastern companies
and why they are not being operated
extensively at the present nobody
seems to know.
This section is fairly alive with
copper and in many places the ore
is of high percentage. Further
north on the range there is another
large come belt and to the south,
at what is known as Red Butte,
there are a number of prospects that
have earmarks of making into mines
and this condition prevails along
the Antelope range, which is the
extension of the Jackson noun
tains.
The Pine Forest range is another
extensive area that has many copper
o%utcrops and at Cove creek and
Varyville there are patented copper
mines that would pay to work if
these properties were opened to the
rrospector or leaser.

WHITE CAPS MINE
RESUMES SINKING
IMPORTANT PRODUCTION
OF SHIPPING ORE
to The Tribune

opSSAnA W AllDuuC
MANHATTAN, New, Feb. L.
Notwithstanding the inclemency OF
the weather and the heavy snowfall,
some important mining operations
have lately been inaugurated. Sink
ing of the White Caps company's
vertical working shaft from it's
present depth of 21O feet has been
started, and it is the intention of
the management to have the shaft
sinking continued with all speei
until a further depth of 100 feet
has been added.
Taking into account the amount
of ore that has been developed IN
the White Caps property to the
present bottom level of the mine,
the ore mined shows a valuation
of 1913 for each foot of depth;
the total production of the proper
ty being $1,000 tons of ore with
a gross value of $381,O53.5O. The
amount of ore still in place in the
mine to the bottom level, while
indefinite, as but a smell proportion
vi IHc ~ io UiOChcu Out, has DtcII
estimated at 1925 tons of $14 ore
making a gross value of 5000, 900.
From these figures it is approx
imately correct to estimate the
value of the total ore of the White
Caps, from the surface to the pres
ent bottom level to be 1881, 053,
which would show a valuation Of
~$2766.67 for each foot of depth in
the mine. The next 100 feet Of
sinking, according to the above,
should develop the three orebodies,
when laterals are run to reach the
ore.
The present mine superintendent
of the White Caps is J. A. Cole,
who until recently has been III
charge of the Loretta Copper Min
ing company's property in California.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY IS PROLIFIC IN
DEPOSITS OF GOOD-GRADF COPPER

and in close proximity to DEMO and
Ashdcwn, there are also many depos-
it's of experimenting ore and some
of these deposits were opened in the
very early days of the county. This
belt not only reaches well into Ne
vada, but can be traced well into
oregon.
The Paradise range is another cop
per section and at a point a few
miles north of Dutach flat there is a
copper mine that has undergone con
siderable development and it is said
that the workings show large depos-
it's of copper ore.
The OsgoOd range, north of Col
conda, has good showings of copper
ore and the copper belt of the Gold
Run district is a proven section for
copper ore. The Adelaide mine has
been worked extensively by the Glas-
gov & Western Exploration COM
pany. A short distance north of the
Adelaide Mr.. Playter is developing a
property that has extensive showings
VI ore carrying a ldI &c pSiCcH'cSC
of copper. This estate is already a
mine and it will be only a short time
when it will be on the list of pro-
ducers.
In the Harmony range and only
there are good showings of cop
rer ore. In this district Sigmund &
Diess have developed a property to
some extent and their working show
good bodies of ore, some of which
is a high-grade material that carries
besides the copper values fair per
centages of gold and silver.
The Sonoma range shows copper
outcrops and in and around Kennedy
there are showings of the red metal
and this condition prevails to the
section Ground Unionville, Lovelock,
Humboldt range, and, in fact, many
other places in Humboldt county

1T will be necessary for us to
learn teamwork, by which is meant
correlation of the efforts of manu-
facturer, merchant, banker and in
weston. Hitherto our bankers have
been reluctant to enter the field of
foreign finance; commission houses
have too frequently been free
lances, pushing trade along the lines
of least resistance or not in such
a wav as to create permanent and
reliable trade. Our manufacturers
have had to fight single-handed for
their foreign trade.
"The creation of the federal trade
commission must prove to be of
great benefit to our manufacturers
and exporters. 1t is studying with
minds free from prejudice the com
plicated problems which affect our

rights of Americans to arrange FOR
combinations for foreign trade such
as are lawful for their competitors of

consists of -four claims and is cOnsid-
cred one of the best lead-silver
propositions in Elko county. More
than 1000 feet of development work
has been done and a big body of ore
has been revealed. John Yore was
the original locator, and about three
years ago he sold to Delay and 9TH
ers for $4,000. According to re-

Two Fires at Davis City.

Davis City is starting the new
year off we'll in the way Of fires, hav-
ing had two this week. Monday
morning the barn of Riley Hullinger
was destroyed by a fire which was
discovered about 4 o'clock, and the
barn and all the contents were de-
stroyed. The origin of the fire is
unknown, but it is thought some one
who had been sleeping in the barn
accidentally dropped match. There
was no live stock in the barn but a
couple of tons of hay, $50 bushels
of corn, 40. or so bushels of oats,
harness, rigs and considerable other
property was burned. Mr.. Hullin-
ger haA $500 insurance on the barn
and $500 on the contents, but his
loss will be considerable.
Tuesday morning about $3.50
o'clock, the Zika Bros, cafe was de-
stroyed by fire, and it was only by
the hardest kind of work that the
adjoining buildings were saved. Inc
Zika boys were sleeping in the res
taurant, and the fire had made such
progress that they barely escaped
with their lives, nothing being saved
from the building. Fortunately they
carried insurance of $4,000 on their
stock. The building was owned by
F. NJ. Freeman, who had $500 insur-
ance, but his loss will be considerable
above this.
