BUILD PLANT
NEAR LUNlNG

Officials of the Nevada Champion
Copper company. operating in the
Santa re mining district, four miles
f ON uning. in Mineral county, have
ABOUT completed plans for the con-
struct;on of a teaching plant at the
property and construction work will
commence at an early date. Chas.
p. p. McCClm, vice-president Of the
company, and John c.. Skuse, cHE
sulting engineer, are putting the
finishing touches on the plans at
the Reno office of the company.
The property of the Nevada Cham
pion consists of 500 acres of lana,
which for several years was widely
known as the Parrot mine. McColm
and w. B.. Andrew of Salt Lake
and their associates purchased the
property about five months ago and
Immediately started an extensive
campaign of development work. Dur
ing that time the company has ship
ped ore of the gross value of $45,-

EAST NEVADA

Twenty-Five mining districts in
eastern Nevada are described in a
report recently issued by the U. s.
Geological Survey Department of
on Some Mining Districts in Eastern
Nevada" by j.. M. Hill. These
districts are widely scattered through
an area extending from the north
ern part of the state to the extreme
southern part, in southeastern
Clark county. Not much has here
tofore beer known about the geo-
logic features of the ore deposits
in these districts, because they are
relatively inaccessible or ~undeveiop-
ed.
Silver, lead, copper and gold
are the principal valuable metals
found, but tungsten and bismuih
also are known to occur Many Of
the deposits were found in the early
sixties, when the rich oxidized ores
were worked, but others have since
been discovered from time to time,
valuable ore bodies having been
found as recently as 1911.
According to this report most
Of the ore deposits occur in sedi-
mentary rocks that border intrusions
&c GRANTEES or porphyries. Gold and
silver are found in Tertiary volcanic
rocks of other parts of Nevada. ort
only one deposit of precious metal
"A free-milling gold ore-has so
far been found in such rocks in
this region.
The report is chiefly a record of
facts, most of which are of loca.
and practical interest. 1t is in
tended as a guide to those who wish
tc know something Of the geologic
occurrence, character, and stage OF
mining development of the ore de-
posits in the districts examined.

BETTER CONDITIONS
FOR NINE WORKERS

DR.. Donald Maclean and Ccair-
man j. J.. Mullin of the Nevada IN
dustrial commission left Saturday
evening for Phoebe to investigate the
condition of c. F. Murray, a miner
in the employ of the Amalgamated
Phoebe Mining company, who Suf-
fered a dislocated back from a
fall of rock while he was sorting
ore.
Their visit to Phoebe is for ie
purpose of securing a specialist to
take ARE of the injured man and
also to investigate conditions in that
section with the view of providing
more efficient medical and surgical
attendance 10 those injured in pur-
suit of their work. That section of
the country has grown so fast. so
many new properties being opened
up that the requirements of the in
dustrial commission have not been
kept apace of the times. Carson

BOSS COMPANY
PAYS DIVIDEND
PROFITS ARE PAID 10 SIOCN-
HOLDERS OF NINE IN
SOUTH

At a meeting of the board of d.
rectors of the Boss Gold Mining
at which were present
President S. E. Yount, o. j. FISH
and Fred A. Hale, Jr., it was voted
t. declare a dividend of two tents
on each share of the capital stock
of the company. The books VIII
close on November LIST, and he di-
vidend will be paid or the 10th. The
company could have declared a lar
ger dividend than this, but Presi-
dent Yount states that he is in
favor of making the first dividend
small and keeping them up rather
than to make one large dividend
and have to wait until another one
is declared.
The company is still holding in
its treasury a sum sufficient to
build its plant when the plans are
perfected. This is the second divi-
dend paid by the Boss, the first one
r~eimbursing it's stockholders for the
amount they paid for their stock.

DRAIN MINES
OF COMSTOCK

Important work is now being car
red on along the 200 level, at the
northend, that has for it's objective
the catching up of the water flowing
along the level, and transferring it
to the Mexican and Ophir winze,
where the pumps are located on this
ley ell, says the Virginia Chronicle.
Very soon the new sinking pumps
will be at work in this winze, lower
and to prevent the water on the
27OO level dropping down an addi-
tional 200 feet, and being raised
again by the pumps. stave pipe is
to be used to confine the water and
transfer it to the point desired.
The present work includes the
"ncring of the west cross-cut from
the 200 station of the 2500-29O0
Cn~ion-Sierra Nevada winZe, which
connects with the Union shaft, and
Pump winze. The stave pipe has
been ordered for installation.
Aside from the large amount of
prospecting nov under way at the
%northend, the 1900 level drainage
is the chief object of interest at the
present time, and every effort is
being put forth to bring it about
speedily and successfully. This
ground will open up untold posi-
bilities in all of the five northend

IN MEMORTUM

On February 1 9th the darkwinged
Messenger of Death visited the quiet
and peaceful hcme of Mr.. and Mrs
Ben Barker, of near Yuba. Okla, and
claimed as its victim their little 12-
year-old daughter, Agnes. Yes, fAg-
nes is gone; gone to join her two lit
tie sisters and one little brother who
had preceded her to the other shore,
and who were beckoning her to come,
yes, to come and take her place in
the mighty Heavenly Host; yes, 10
that place where the mighty God has
prepared for all His children-to the
place of safe retreat: the land whore
trials, woes and tribulations can new
er reach them. While we know that
the death of the little girl has in
deed brought grief almost unbeara-
BILE to her parents, yet there should
be balm in the thought that while
she will never return to earth again,
and that they will never again be-
hold her lovely face and hear her
soft and gentle voice on earth, nor
behold her pleasant smile; yet they
can go to her, wheer sad partings
will come nevrermore. But, after
all, we know that the loss of this 10y
able child has brought grief unspeak-
able to the parents and other rela-
tiyes, for she was the idol of the fam
lily and OF much pleasure to all with
whim she came in contact, owing to
her sunny disposition and trustful
manner. She was great favorite
among her many young friends. as
well as the older people, and will be
long and sadly missed.

Oklahoma City Ok, Feb. 26.--
Preparations are going forward for
trial of the rate cases in the Federal
Court under the new alignment of
issues that follow the filing of an
amended bill by the railroads. At
torney General Freeling has engag-
ed an accountant expert 70 rthe State
for the preparation of evidence and
exhibits Henry Wilmerlng. who has
resigned position in the local gas
and electric company to undertake
this work.
The rumor that wHlmering Is plan
ming to merge this employment into
a candidacy for tho Democratic
nomination for Corporation Commits
sioner this summer is thought to be
well founded.
| j. r. Love. chairman of the Cor
lpOration Commission. the one mem
Der remaining who began service on
the commission at the time of its
organization. is understood to be in
terested in the personnel of the COM
mission to the extent Of seeking to
secure the candidacy OF persons who
would be expected to adopt his views
as to the issues that are TO come be-
fore that body
The candidacy Of A. p Watson of
this city, who was removed from the
office by the state Senate. sitting
as an impeachment court, began at
once upon the occurrence of that
event. Mr.. Love at that time an
nounced his intention to see to it
that Watson was returned to the
commission as a rebuke to the Legis-
tors who impeached and removed
him. The position of the chairman
of the commission is assured to be
still maintained,
The theory of Chairman Love of
the Corporation Commission that the
State is justified in delaying the q
cent fare case just as long as possible
because the saving to persons who
ride under the present &c passenger
4 fare tariff is many times more than
the expense to the taxpayers in liti-
eating it, has not met popular ap-
proval in many parts of the State.
This theory was amplined by Mr..
Love in an address to the Legislature
last month. This address was COM
mented upon adversely in several
quarters. A comment by a news
paper of Durant condemning the at
titude of the Commissioner has led
to a controversy between that paper
and the chairman of the commits
sion.
One view of the fight that is of in
terest is that taken by the Tishomin-
so Capital-Demoerat. 1t is as fol
lows:
"The House of Representatives
last Saturday concurred in the SEN
ate amendment to bill making an
appropriation of 100000 of the peo-
pies money for the defense of the &c
fare cases. The measure won't to the
Givernor that evening for his sigma
ture. This is the second 100000 of
our money the Legislature has ap-
propriated for the Attorney General
20 use in fighting the &c fare cases.
Not one farmer N a thousand cares
a whoop whether the railroad fare is
&c or &c. He doesn't ride once
year. and if he does it is in the case
of sickness of some near relative or
friend and he would rather pay the
lc additional and get a fast train

The great mass of the people of
Brazil have always been enthusiastic
ally, and sometimes aggressively,
pro-ally, so that when the eminent
Ruy Barbosa counseled open al
legiance to the cause of the entente,
he was warmly applauded, But there
is large foreign element in Brazil
which has done its best to stem this
tide. In the southern states of Rio
