Howard Rummell, who has been
one of the path-finders in Nevada
since the early days of Goldfield,
but who has been investigating the
mineral of Arizona for
tn past four months. is in Elko
from Oatman and Los Angeles. Mr.
Rummell was secretary for the
Rluster Consolidated Mining COM
par ny of Jarbidge until recently and
is we'll informed concerning condt-
tions in that camp, now rapidly
coming to the front.
~"Jarbidge finally has succeeded
in attracting capital and as a re-
suit some big things will be &C
complished within the year that we
older residents of the camp nave
been planning for and looking for
ward to for a long time" said he.
while the mines of the district
contain more or less high grade
the bulk of ore is not rich enough
to stand transportation. AS you
know, the camp is far from a rail
road and in a precipitous and rug
ged country, making it costly to
operate on the large scale neceS-
sary to economy. There are five
small mills in camp, all confined TO
amaIgamation, which does not make
a large enough saving to make big
money.
There is penty of water in that
section of the county for the genera
ton of electric power; in fact. there
is plenty Of power already genera
ted to be had SO miles distant. Then
the Jarbidge river flows down the
gulch. Careful measurements at
low water demonstrate that 276
horsepower can be developed from
this stream.
The water right is owned by
our company, the Buster Console
dated, and we planned to install our
intake just below where Pine Creek
enters the river, carrying our flume
down two miles below u present
mill, which is $500 feet down the
hill from the mine. This plan will
require but two miles of transmits
sion from the power plant to the
mill and on up to the mine. Here
tofore our amalgamating mill has
been operated by an internal com
bustion Oil engine, but we found
that our power costs we're too high
to add cyanidation to the mill pro-
cess, as we had planned.

parallel with the river but is at a

mar defensive ingenuity, it persis-
tently held fast like a rock in the
course of a turbulent stream that
had to be blasted loose before the
channel was fully opened up. The
process was accomplished only by
long, continued, severe and costly ef-
fort on the part of the allies. Driv-
ing in from the south, the French
successfully swept by Hardecourt,
Maurepas, lie FOret and finally
reached Fregicourt, a mile to the
east of Combles. More slowly but
none the less surely the British
pushed their advance on the north
of the German salient.

Sir Douglas Haig, commander Of the
British forces, is given credit for
the fall of the stronghold.

TUSCARORA MINING
DISTRICT REVIVED
DRAINAGE TUNNEL is BEING
DRIVEN TO PERMIT WORK
ING OF OLD MINES

Important work is now under way
ar the old camp of T%uscarora. situa-
ted about fifty miles northwesterly
from Elko, Nevada. This inc one
of the famous camps of the early
DAYS of mining in the state. n
produced it's millions from very
shallow depths. Deep mining was
not attempted at that time, owing
to the water level being near the
surface.
The New Tuscarora Mining COM
pany, made up of Salt Lake inter-
ests, with w. j. Craig, president,
J.. r.. Austin, vice president, and
W. j. Wolstenholme, secretary n
treasurer, is now engaged in driv-
ing a deep transportation and drain
age tunnel under one OF the we'll
known groups there. The bore is
in a distance of 230 feet. and &c
cording to surveys should cut the
first fissure at 800 feet from the
portal and the second at $50 feet.
These are the veins which were so
productive in the early days.
A sample from one of the old
dumps on the property recently
gave returns of 128 ounces silver
and 146 ounces gold to the ton,
and it is stated that five feet of
ore has been found at a depth OF
twenty-five feet in n of the old
shafts which averaged 46 ounces
silver and As ounces gold a ton.
Mr.. Craig, who is one of the best
known mining men in this section,
returned from the property recently
and states that great things are
expected from the work now under
way there.-Mining Review.

application for patent of Samuel
Fox for the Ramsey Extension lode
mining claim, in conflict with the

land was known at the date of the
townsite entry. June 10, 1909, to
contain minerals of such extent and
value as to justify expenditures for
the purpose of extracting them.
The land office has notified all
persons interested in this hearing
to appear at 10 a. m. on IA
before M. U. Shields, notary pub
lie, in the court house at Goldfield.

MINERS FIND RICH
ORE IN 'WORM-HOLE'
DISCOVERY AT MANHATTAN is
IN PECULIAR FORM OF
ROCK

The old statement that the place
to find gold is where it is, is
brought to mind by the story told
by Percy Train of Manhattan, as
to the formation in which he and
his partners are mining on the
Mustang claim at that camp. Mr..
Train says that his firm is doing
we'll, and that the gold they find
occurs in a tube or worm hole" in
the rock.
In times away back in the dim
distant past, there was a water
course. whose general direction was
downward, through the limestone,
but which followed the line of least
resistance, and made a very crook
ed course. The hole is round, as
though a worm had eaten his way
through a dead log, and varies in
size from six inches to two feet.
This round, smooth hole is lined
with a coating of pure quartz, which
is absolutely barren.
The quartz-lined tube has filled
up with tale, and this tale is mined
by scraping it out of the tube, and
when the scraping has proceeded as
far as practical, powder is put in
and blasted. The hole is then en-
lareed in the regular mining way
and the scraping is proceeded with.
The company handling the lease
hopes 10 come across a big cavern,
ty following the small water pipe
or course, may make a still bigger
thing out of it. as the size of the
tube is very irregular. - Carson

FIGHTS
SCORE OF
TEUTONS
CANADIAN CORPORAL SHOOTS
ALL But ONE, WHOM HE
CAPTURES

OTTAWA, Oct. 3. - A tale of an
unnamed corporal in an eastern
Ontario battalion of the Canadian
forces in France, who, single hand
ed. charged a party of % Germans
advancing to an attack and killed
or wounded all of them except one,
whom he took prisoner, is related
by the official Canadian EYE wit
ness" in a dispatch received here.
LAS a result of further severe
fighting, the Canadians have cap
tured several important German pc
sitions and have advanced their
own line upon a frontage of nearly
! two miles to a maximum depth OF
900 yards" the dispatch says.
THE Germans have fought hard
and their resistance has been for
midable. To minimize this would
be to minimize the gallantry and
persistence with which the Canadi-
ans have attacked. We have in this
fighting advanced in close co-opera-
ton and sympathy with the British
troops on either flank. Despite the
enemy's resistance, we have, ex-
cept for temporary and local set
backs, secured in succession all Of
our detectives and by every account
received we have inflicted severe
losses upon the Germans.
"Our Artillery support has been
magnificent, and by the sheer
weight of metals which the gun
ners have hurled upon the Germans,
! they have made it humanity possible
for the infantry to come into close
contact with the enemy. When this
has occurred, there has never been
any question of the result. Time
and time again, our bayOnet men
have rushed an enemy trench and
have killed or captured the entire
garrison.
I'm the course of all this desper-
ate fighting there have been innu-
merable instances of the most cour-
ageous and devoted actions, impossi-
BILE to present in detail.
''The case of a corporal of an
eastern Ontario battalion is, how
ever, one of the most extraordinary
ever recorded. The battalion had
successfully captured a line of Ger,
mar trenches, when a party of the
enemy, consisting of two officers
and about 20 men, began a counter
attack.
THE corporal advanced alone
against the whole party, emptied his
revolver, picked up first n and
then another German rifle, each of
which he emptied, accounting for
the two officers and sixteen of the
men. While he was shooting, one
of the officers attacked him with a
bayonet and pierced him in the
leg below the knee. but the corporal
shot him dead. The rest of the
enemy attempted to escape. The
corporal shot four of them and made
the fifth a prisoner. Although
wounded in two places, he remained
in the trenches until his battalion
was relieved"
