CLAIMS BONDED
BY OLE ELLIOTT
PROPERTY IN KAWICH RANGE
HAS PRODUCED ORE OF
HIGH GRADE

Ole Elliott. proprietor Of the
Northern hotel, arrived home Tues
day evening from Goldfield, where
he spent several weeks looking att
er his business interests in that
live and flourishing camp, says the
Ely Record. While on the trip he
secured a bond and lease on four
claims in the Kawich range, about
90 miles east of Goldfield, and
owned by o. X. Reed, which in
early days was worked down { o a
depth of 100 feet, from which a
considerable tonnage of ore averas-
ing about 500 per ton was ship
ped to the smelters.
The parties working the proper
ties at that time lost the ore md
after considerable prospecting on
the so and 100 levels, abandoned
the property. 1t was later relocat-
ed by Reed, who continued the work
on down to the $50 level, where the
dacite formation, identical to that
cross-cut from the shaft soon Gu
countered a four-foot vein of quartz
and tale, with a nine-inch streak
running better than 500 per ton.
Mr.. Elliott, who has had wide
experience in mining is quite enthu-
siastic over the property and as
soon as the worst of the winter
weather is over he will put a force
OF men at work on the property,
and will also give it his personal at
tention, as he is of the opinion that
it will develop into a large and pay
ing mine.

HAVE BEEN PRODUCTIVE

G.. w. Robb, a placer miner or
Manhattan, who is operating in the
main gulch, is in Tonopah for a day
or two. the works being temporarily
closed down on account of the in
tense cold
The year just ended was exceed
ingly profitable for the placer oper-
ators. Indications are that there
will be an abundance of water for the
coming year. There is nearly three
feet of snow on the summit.
Mr.. Robb say that the people OF
Manhattan are very optimistic over
the future of the district. The re-

day.-Bonanza.

NEW DISCOVERY MADE

An important strike of free gold
ore at a depth of 800 feet has
been made on the property of the
Rochester Mines company in the
Rochester district, according to a
report received from the mine. The
find is said to be in new workings
from the old Colligan lease on the
Weaver No. 2. 1t is said the
strike will double the producing
area of the company. The strike
was made in a crosscut which
struck the west vein 600 feet south
of the workings of the Big Four
block of Crown Point No. /, which,
up to the present time, was the
farthest south of the west vein.

Voluntarily Returns

Frank Raines, who recently es-
school, voluntarily returned to the
institution and gave himself up to
the authorities. He wishes to avail
himself of the educational advan-
tages offered in the school and
states that his brief space of free
dom was not freedom at all. as his
mind was never free from the fear
of detection. He will be given an
opportunity to earn his credits
again.

Views on Liquor Laws

A recently published opinion on
the liquor laws, given by Attorney
General Thatcher at Reno, states
that under his Interpretation OF
the law it is necessary for two
persons who conduct a saloon and a
cafe under the same roof, when
the business is not entirely owned
by one of the individuals. for ea"'
to take out a license for the sa'o
Of liquor. Where the cafe makes
no profit on the sales, one license
is enough.

ROCK COMPOSED OF FOSSILS

Near Reno are peculiar beds
diatomaceous earth. This chalk
white material consists largely Of
fossil microscopic animals called
diatoms. These remains have col
lected here in numbers so immense
as to form deposits hundreds Z
feet thick and in places make up
almost the entire mass of the rock.
This mass of fossil diatoms, or did
tenacious earth, formerly called in
fusorial earth, differs from white
chalf only in that it is composed or
silica instead of lime carbonate.
1t is so light that it will almost
float on water.-(Overland Guide
book, Bulletin 612, U. S. Geological
Survey.)

Nevada's Rest Crops

Nevada this year can prduce a
crop report that excels all previous
records. Prices were also higher
than in previous years. The esti-
mates were made on the superstition
that the last completed census rep
resented SO per cent of the total.
Nevada produced this season $4,000
bushels of corn, 1000, 900 bushels or
wheat, 1856, 600 bushels of oats, &c.,
900 bushels of barley, 675,OO0 tons
of hay and 100000 bushels of po-
tatoes. Nevada potatoes brought 20
cents a bushel, and wheat vas also
considerably higher than in other
states.

ILL.,, Jan. -
Ogallala lire, who fought with ST.

1876, died yesterday ia a hospit II
AT the age of 80. A week ago, APP
parently tired of rife, hC cut his
throat au4 was unconscious most o.
he time at the hospite.l.
Chief Ogallala Firc was one of TIE
Sioux Indian chiefs who, with Sic.
ing Bull, fought against the en-
croachments of the white settlers
and repeatedly gave latte to tn
United S ates regulars.
He was severely wouI.ded in the
LATHE in which General Custer and
his troops were slaugh cred All

his death. Two bullet wounds and
a saber slash left Inn wounded Oh

He was known as one of the bra =
Isl Indian chiefs Wv followed 81.

Ugallala Fire.
When peace came o tie Siou
and Sitting bull was a prisoner.
Ogallala adopted less warlike pu--
suits and beginning with the Chi
cage worlds fair days vas one of
the wild west show Indians. In his
beads and wal bonnet he travelled
for more than 20 years with wild
west shows, visiting many cities il
this country and crossing the ocean.
More recently he played for motion
pictures and his advanced age, ne
was then over so, seemed not to
interfere with his activity.
Late in 1915 he became afflicted
with his first illness, a tumor
which confined him to his bed. He
had often suffered from wounds but
never from illness and the inactivity
and suffering preyed on him. The
old chief wanted to die and on sun
day morning, Jan. 2, 1916, he aske
his granddaughter, Mrs. Little Bear,
at whose home he lived, for a razor
that he might shave. Not guessing
his real purpose she complied and
soon after she had left the room
Chief Ogallala slashed his throat
with the razor. Medical aid was
summoned and the old Indian was
hurried to a hospital whee the flew
of blood was staunched and efforts
were made to saw his life.
On the hospital cot the aged In
dian said he did not like to tain
of the old days of Indian wars. 1--WE
did not understand the ways of the
white men. We had to yield. II
is not right for me to talk of the
days when we went on the warpatl
because now it is not considered
brave said the old chief.
One of the proudest possession;
Of the old man is a soldiers belt
which the chief said he had taker
from an adversary killed by him at
Clusters last fight. The belt is now
covered with beads.
When Chief Ogallala Fire mace
his first appearance in a wild west
show he wore a long chain made OF
SIS and SO gold pieces. His grand
daughter said that he gave nearly
all of the gold pieces to children
in the neighbOrhOOds in which he
lived.

MAY BUILD ANOTHER MILL

The completion of the system by
means OF which the Rochester Mines
company obtains water for it's prop
erty has given rise to a report that
the company contemplates the erec-
ton of another and larger mill
nearer the workings. While it's
present mill has a capacity of only
100 tons daily, the new water sys-
ten is capable of supplying suffi-
cient water for a 50O-ton mill. Ac-
cording to reports, If a new mill
should be erected it will be placed

Farmers of FallOn Prosperous
The past season has been one OF
the most prosperous for the farm
ers of Nevada, and particularly OF
the Fallon district, that they have
experienced. All products were at
top-notch prices and crops were
large, making an ideal combination
for the tillers of the soil. The cor
ing year promises much for the
farmers of the Fallon district. The
recent adjustment of the Nevada
Sugar company's difficulties and
betting the plant in all capacity OF
Grafton this summer and fall gives
the sugar-beet men great
agement.

If congress appreciates the import
 ance of Alaska's present needs there
 will be no haggling over the estimates
 of the interior department nor skimp-
 ing of the necessary appropriations The great territory is at the threshold
 of Its greatest opportunity. The first year of government railway construc- ton has stimulated the interest of the whole country and started a host of argonauts Alaskaward. Prospectors have penetrated the wilds and discov- cred new mining wealth for develop ment. Agricultural lands have been taken up. the navy as we'll as the com mercial interests are waiting for Alaska coal supplies. Every community and materal interest of the territory Is awaiting the new life. and the whole machinery of development waits only on the action of congress. Secretary Lane. of the interior department, and the Alaska commission. estimate the construction and maintenahce needs of the government railway for the coming season at ss,247.ooo. This will complete connection with the Matanuska, coal field, will extend the present Alaska Northern railway forty five miles on the Seward nne and will add ninety one and one ialf miles 10 the main line construction to the north, as far as the crossing of the Talkeetna river. There Is also provision for grading the right of way out of Fairbanks to the south and estimates for necessary dredging and headquarters expense. Emergent needs are also indicated for the coast and seodetic survey, aids to navigation and roads and bridges. General con- currence of official opinion In the esti- mates gives assurance that'they are to low was the needs of the situation will permit There should be little or no objection on the part of congress to the continuance of the program of de- velopment so auspiciously begun this season.-Seattle P.

NOME, ALASKA. FEB. 23, 1918.

Recurrent reports of continued hard times on the outside, despite the enor- nous trade balances and other flcti- tious evidences of prosperity so loudly proclaimed by the daily press, give further evidence that we of this sec ,inn of Alaska, are pretty well off even though conditions are not as good as they used to be. Most of us do a lot of kicking about the slowness of busi- enss, etc. and many try to convince themselves that they are not as well off here as they would be somewhere else. Few of us are satisfied at best and the majority have a notion that everything would be lovely if they could only get somewhere else. All this is most convincing evidence that We either do not stop to think or are ut
 terly unaware of or are regardless of the actual conditions obtaining in those far away places of our hearts desire to which We look with such longing eyes, and fond anticipations. Not many of us are given to compari- sons evidently or we would soon come to realize that We are probably far better of here than almost anywhere else with the same capacities or the same stock in trade. Pick up a few of the outside papers and pass over the Haunting headlines which tell of the big things going on. Let your
