ORE CUT IN TUNNEL
OF RED STREAK NINE

A new find of rich ore in the
tunnel was the feature OF the day
at the Red Streak, Tuesday. The
ore appear to be of the same char
acter as that previously found in
this mine. The sample brought into
camp seems to be almost solid cop
per glance, and is plentifully sprink-
led with copper s%ulphides. An as
say has not yet been obtained, but
should run high. 1t is too soon as
vet to have any idea of the extent
or the strike, but the vein appears
to be widening and is dipping
down.
The work at the mine is being
carried on under the direction of
Alec Anderson, who may be called
the maker of that mine, as it is u
principally to his skill and prese-
verance that the Red Streak is and
will continue to be one of the big
producers of the camp. Good

MILL CITY TUNGSTEN
PROPERTY is SHIPPING

One car of ore has already been
shipped and freighting teams are
hauling for a second car from the
tungsten property of George o. Oh
sen, located near Mill City. This is
the first shipment from Olsen's
claims. According to the returns
from the Toulon concentration, the
ore carries goods values and can be
handled profitably.
According to Olsen tunnel WORK
for the past few weeks has been un-
covering better ore than that ex-
posed in the preliminary trenching
A good road has been built to the
property which includes nine claims

LOUISIANA CON. Mine AT TYPO
IS Showing LARGE OREBODIES

There is much activity at Typo
as is evidenced from the report of
President Walter E. Trent of the
Louisiana Consolidated Mining COM
pany.
The Louisiana Consolidated has
been busily engaged in the perform
ance of one of the most gigantic
mining undertakings attempted in
years in Nye county, and the pre-
sent is witnessing the holding, on
this great mineral estate being
rapidly rounded into form whereby
the output of the precious metals
will be materially augmented dur
ing the next few months.
The Louisiana Consolidated Min
ing company controls the Typo mine
at Typo, Nevada; the Tip Top at
Mt. Montgomery, Nevada; the Zen
da at Caliente, California, and the
Dimmick at Typo. The principal
activity carried forward during the
past six months has been on the
Typo property, famous during it's
early history of development for it's
production of high-grade silver ore.
During the period in question the
Typo mine has been equipped with

NEW DISCOVERY HAS
FINE ORE SHOWING
PROPERTIES AT COPPER BASIN
ARE OPENING GOOD
ORE

Important recent developments
and the sudden entry of the Copper
Basin district as a mineral produc-
ing territory of consequence, are re-
ported by j. c.. Brumblay of the
United States Smelter company, who
has just returned from that portion
of Lander county. The district is
situated from 10 to IL miles south
and west of Battle Mountain.
Within the last two months, he
says, mining men have been granted
leases on the Copper Basin property
of the Copper Canyon Mining COM
pany, have opened up large bodies
of splendid shipping ore and are now
busy preparing to ship. He says
there are six leasers or more who
have developed very good ore within
the last month or six weeks. The
ores are copper bearing.
In addition to the showing made
by the leasers, the Copper Canyon
Mining company, which has a large
estate in Copper Basin. has extend
ed operations on his property. F.
Sommer Schmidt, the manager. is
now working a force of around 20
men gloryhOling the property and
sinking a shaft into the sulphide
zone. Most of the ore at the pres
ent time, he says, is being taken
from the oxide zone.
c. A. Lee, operating a silver prop
erty, this week SEN out one a of
shipping ore and is engaged in haul
ing ore for two more cars. G. w.
Burge, also an operator in the Cop
per Basin district, last week shipped
a car of h~igh-grade lead ore, and is
working a silver property on which
he has a shaft down more than $50
feet and reports opening up a ledge
which runs from seven to 20 feet in
width with good shipping values

SPEAKERS SAY

FOUR-MINUTE MEN URGE WO-
MEN TO HELP
ALLIES

j.. M. Fenwick delivered a four
minute speech Saturday night at
tie Exchange theater on food con-
The speaker said in part: There
ia no place for the word gutter
in the dictionary used by Uncle
Sam.
THE gutter deserts his friend;
the gutter throws down his pal
when his pal is fighting for his life.
THE allies are our pals in the
world war. We have stretched our
hand across the sea and said:
Shake. We are in this thing with
you and we'll stick That is what
Uncle Sam said to the allies.
when Uncle Sam says anything,
there is nothing else to it. We just
have to make good.
Winter is coming on. The pinch
has come. In france they are look
ing across the sea and saying, How

They are not Whispering. but they
are hungry.
And we are going to help, every
one of use. We will make good on
the grubstake promise for the sake
of the folks who trusted us and for
the sake of our own soldiers as we'll.
Just remember that they are
bound for France, the land where
we are sending the grubstake."
District Attorney Roger Foley
spoke at the Lyric theater Sunday
night on the same subject.
He said: "'Oh. that is food con-
servation,' l can hear you say and
l can see you picture to yourself
wheatless days and meatless weeks,
sort of half starvation.
Now get hat idea out of your
heads. Food conservation does not

j. G. Thompson, secretary of the
local "four-minute" men, stated
this morning that. to date he has
met willing responses from evnry-
one whom he has asked to deliver
a speech. A recent letter from the
national Organization On this pu;nt
stated that speakers are drafted for
this service under a military pr2ani-
zation exactly in the same manner
as an exemption board or a soldier
and that no man has more right to
object to the making of a four
minute speech than has a drafted
man to object to entering the army
or an exemption board to refuse to

The next four-minute speeches
will be made text Saturday night.

SILVER CONTROL
MEETS PROTEST
NEVADA MINING MAN DECLARES
PRICE NOT TOO
HIGH

superintendent Whitman Symmes
SEN the following dispatch of pro-
test to Washington last night on
the proposed government plans re-
garding silver, which explains it
self, says the Virginia Chronicle.
Hon. Ray Baker, Director of u. s..
Mint, Washington, D. c.:
Associated Press dispatch states
that government plans to depress
price of silver. Nevada mining men
With whom 1 have already been
in conference respectfully advice
against any such action as eminent
ly unfair. Most of silver is pro-
duced by lead and copper mines.
which are getting war prices.
The straight silver mines on &C
count of increased general costs, in
Guiding deeper mining, pumping,
greater necessary exploration and
declining production, are not MAX
ing as great profits as before the
war. Look at the prices of stocks
of companies mining or prospect
yer miners have not combined.
They have obeyed the law and faith
fully supported the government.
Practically every miner in Vir-
ginia City has taken Liberty bonds.
Most of them have signed from ten
to twenty dollars of their wages for
next five months to pay for the last
issue. 1t is unfair for government
to make combination against us.
Our men feel aggrieved at recent
action of government in depressing
price by Mexican negotiations and
threatening to spend part of money
we contributed for Liberty bonds
for buying Mexican silver instead
of American silver.
IF farmers are given more than
twice normal prices and copper
miners about SO per CEN above
normal, why are we Disseminated
against? In this camp wages have
not been increased since the war,
and miners have hard time to make
both ends meet simply because costs
will not allow of increased wages.
1--WE feel it unfair for govern
ment to depress price of entire sill
YER production in order to get about
one-fourth of it at bedrock prices.
We challenge you to show us a
straight silver or gold-silver pro-
Queer that is making abnormal pro-
fits whereas the government which
is supposed to encourage the mining
industries is making a profit by
seignorage of forty-three cents or
exactly fifty per cent on the price
OF every ounce that it buys at the
present market price. In our opin-
len the government should not CON
tinue to depress the price below one
dollar per ounce, which would be
no more than a just price, and at
that price the government would
make a profit by seignorage of
twenty-nine per cen on it's pur-
chases."

CONF ORT STATION
FOR BATTELL PARK
Much Needed Improvement
PetitiOned For by MiSha-
Waka Woman'S Club.

A petition for the installation Of a
sewer on Ell st, from the south end
70 the point where the street turns
east. and east on Ell st. TO Short St
TO the connection with the sewer
south Of the L. & w. tracks. was
received by the board of works in
session Monday morning. The pc
titiOn was signed by Mrs. Nellie
Berkey and seven others. 1t was
referred 10 the city engineer.
The board received a communica-
ton from the Mishawaka Woman's
improving the bathing beach at
Merrifield park. The cOmmunica-
ton also petitioned the board TO pro-
vide a public comfort station at Bat
tell park Board members agreed
that such an Improvement was
greatly needed at the park and it is
possible that some favorable action
viii be taken on the matter in the
near future. The budget for the
service department of the city for
next year, and which will be passed
on by the city council at the first
regular meeting in September, con-
tains a recommendation for the ap-
preparation of $4,000 for park de-
veIOpment. If the recommendation
is adopted by the council il is likely
that at least part of the sum will be
used for the construction of a suit
able comfort station at Battell park.
For that reason no definite action
was taken by the board Monday
morning on the Womans club petit
ton The communication was simply
placed on the minutes for future ref
erence.
A letter to Mayor Gaylor from the
high school athletic association re-
questing the completion of the Gin
der track at the west end park and
the mayors reply was read at the
meeting. The total cost Of the build
ing Of the track is S231.90. Less than
half that amount has been expended
and but S27 remains owing the city
by the association. Mayor Gaylor's
reply to the letter is that the matter
was referred by him TO the board.
The work will be probably finished
by the city and charged to the ath-.
letic association.
