BUCKSKIN HALCYON
BUYING MACHINERY
RICH NATIONAL VEIN Is BE-
ING SOUGHT BY
LESSEES

To hasten development and carry
out more extensive operations on
their lease. on the property of the
Puckskin National Gold Mining COM
pany at the south end of the Ma
tional district, the Buckskin Halcyon
Mining company is installing more
machinery. This week P. Phillips,
the manager, was at Reno and pur-
chased additional equipment, which
includes machine drills and a new
Kicks compressor. This equipment
will be hauled to the Buckskin
lease on it's arrival from Reno.
The Halcyon company has been at
work for seevral months and has al
ready accomplished a considerable
amount of development work in the
way of a cross-cut tunnel that is
being pushed into the mountain to
tap the main ledge hat %traverses
the Buckskin property. This devel-
opment work is in charge Of Roy
Gayer, who is also heavily interested
in the leasing company.
The Buckskin National Gold Min
ing company's estate is located four
miles south of the town of National
is is about 60 miles north from Win
nemucca. A large amount of devel-
onpponf hoe hoo , dnnn on tho nrnn-
erty at different places along the
strike of the big lead that outcrops
along the surface.
The parent compaaJ has a shaft
down over 400 feet aid / . done
from 1000 to 5000 feet of drifting,
mostly on the vein. IN all he d k
ings there are good bodies Of ore
exposed. In doing this work the
company extracted considerable eN-
tremely high-grade gold ore similar
to the bonanza o., taken from he
famous National mine. At about
5000 feet north from the comlany's
developments leasers have opened
another large body of ore.
A feature of this valuable estate
is that wherever the main gein has
been opened good ore has been found
and from present prospects and de-
velopment is a continuous body of
ore for thousands of feet in length.
Forrest Bell, a graduate of the uni
versity school of mines, is superin-
tendent of the Buckskin National
property.-Humboldt Star.

MORNING GLORY
WAS NOT LOSER
JOINT RESTRAINING ORDER IS
SUED PENDING TRIAL
OF CASE

There seems to have been a mis-
understanding regarding the deci-
sion rendered in the district court
last Friday afternoon by Judge
Mark R. Averill in the injunction
proceedings instituted by the White
Caps Mining company against the
Morning Glory Mining company.
The decision, in effect, was not
wholly in favor of the White Caps
Mining company, but on the other
hand the Manhattan Morning Glory
Mining company was successful in
securing a joint injunction to issue
restraining both companies from
further prosecuting development on
the ground in dispute, pending a
trial of the case upon it's merits be-
fore a jury when the apex question
will be decided.
The trial of the case upon the
apex question has been set for De-
cember 10. In the meantime Judge
Averill will render a decision re-
garding surveys that may possibly
be made on the territory in ques-
ton.
1.-THE Manhattan Morning Glory
Mining company won it's conten-
tlons," remarked Zeb Kendall yes
terday. 1--WE only expected to Sc
cure a joint injunction to issue,
that the trial might be heard upon
its merits. No permanent injunction
was issued against the Manhattan
Morning Glory company, but on the
ether hand a temporary restraining
order is in effect against both COM
panies, and no work on the ground
in question, known as the west ore
shoot will be performed pending the
trial of the questions at issue before
a jury in the district court" =

EGGS ARE RICH IN PROTEIN
Ninety-Seven Per Cent Of Portion
Eaten Is Digested and Shell Is
Only Part Wasted.

The principal food element fur
nished by eggs is protein. the nitro
genous tissue-building element whose
presence in considerable proportion
also gives meats, fish, milk, cheese,
ETC., their special food value. Eggs
can, therefore, be substituted in the
diet for the latter foods without ma
terially altering the protein con-
Sumed,
In addition, eggs also furnish fat
and a number of valuable mineral ele-
ments, including sulphur, phosphorus,
iron, calcium and magnesium, In an
easily assimilable form, and are be-
tial vitalizing elements called vitam-
ms.
Like milk and unlike meats, eggs
do not contain certain substances con-
vertible in the body into uric acid.
Their shells constitute the only waste
materials. Ninety-seven per cent of
the portion eaten-a high proportion
compared to other foods-is digested.
No extended cooking is necessary
for eggs, and there is, therefore, a
saving of time, labor and fuel in their
preparation when they are compared
with many other foods.
For all these reasons eggs deserve
an important place in the diet for use
at times in place Of other foods rich
in protein, provided egg prices are
not so high as to outweigh the other
considerations.

DEVIATION OF THE COMPASS
Only at Certain Points Does the Mag
netic Needle Point Due North
and South.

Soon after the compass was invented
it was noticed that 1t did not point
true north and south. For a long time
1t was supposed that this deviation
or declination was everywhere the
same until Columbus, on his way to
America in 1902, discovered near the
Azores a place of no declination. Maps
now published by the different govern
ments give lines of equal d~eclinatiOn.
In the extreme eastern section OF the
United States the declination is as
much as 20 degrees west. This de-
creases to zero at a place near Cincin-
natl, O., and becomes an easterly decli-
nation amounting to 20 degrees east
in the northwest.
The discovery as to "dip" was made
nearly 100 years after the time of CO.
lumbus. 1t was found that If a COM
pass needle is perfectly balanced so
that 1t can swing up and down as well
as sideways its north-seeking pole will
dip down at a considerable angle. This
angle increases as n goes farther
north, and decreases as one goes south.
In the southern hemisphere the north
seeking pole of a needle points up in
the air.
During Shackleton's south polar ex-
petition, a point was found on the
great antarctic continent where a
needle would hang vertically with its
north-seeking pole on top.

TO BUILD MILL
At DEEP CREEK
PLANT TO HAVE CAPACITY OF
ONE-HUNDRED TONS
DAILY

Construction of a mill and devel-
opment work on a large scale are
included in the plans by the incor-
rorators of the Liberty Gold Mines
company which will operate in the
rineralized area on the eastern
slope of Lime mountain in the Deep
Creek district in Elko county.
The company is composed of
Lovelock mining men who have
been in close touch with the pro-
ject for a number of months. The
claims are about three and a half
miles by automobile from Elko
connected by a road which is re-
ported in good condition. The in
corporators report an ideal site
for a 100-ton mill, with abundant
water. The following is from their
report on the project:
THE property comprises 14O
acres, seven claims, so located as to
cover all mineral o~utcroppings. The
ore deposits occur in a porphyry
intrusion pushed up through a
deep-seated lime Gaping. Two tun-
nels have been sunk by former own
ers, one 400 feet and the other 625
feet, below the summit of the o
tain.
Approximately 10000 IONS of ore
has been exposed in the upper tun-
mel, the ore having an estimated
value of around $25 a ton. with the
values mainly in gold and copper
and with a small value in silver.
plans for the construction of a
mill, to be operated with electric
power from a plant situated on Bull
Run creek four miles distant, are
now being laid. The present idea
is to put up a mill of a hundred
tons daily capacity Gazette

copper producer? Why should not
the government put a price of 9fl
cents or 95 cents per ounce on sill
yer during the war period, and
tLen the investor in silver mines
would known what he could expect
as a return for his money!"
Operations are in full swing again
at the northend of the Comstock
and reports this week show increas-
ing ore production from the Union
Con. mine and shipments to the
Mexican mill. On the $500 level
of the mine, good ore is being k
from the north drift, where work
is being carried on in the hanging
wall side.
Good grade of milling ore is also
reported driving south from the
northeast cross-cut on the 240O-foot
level, and also in driving north and
south from the east cross-cut.
Working north and south in the
winze below the 200 level is also
underway, and preparations are be-
ing continued to open the mine on
the 1900 level underneath the ore
developed in this Wine.
The Mexican continues to drive a
cross-cut to the west on the 1900
level, which is passing through por-
pJ.yry and stringers of quartz. The
Mexican mill Is busy on ore from
the Union mine and the Union ore
reserve dums on the surface.-Vir-
ginia Chronicle.

Mines MAINTAINING
GOOD RESULTS IN Deep WORK

w. c. Ralston, who visited the
lower levels of the Union mine yes
terday, said last evening of con
ditions now exposed by development
work:
"The development upon the 2400
level of the Union mine l consider
one of the best I have ever seen on
The Comstock, not excepting the
Mexican ore body first opened on
the 2400 level. My reason for max
ing this statement Is that the ore
is in the main Comstock lode, the
formation is excellent, the walls
we'll defined and the ledge matter
is hard and carries very regular
values.
THE opening on the vein is over
As feet in length and both faces
show fine milling values as the car
samples are being sent to the mill
prove. The vein is apparently very
wide, over IA feet at one point, and
averages 1 should say over eight
feet in width. In the bottom OF
the drift is ore of fine quality, and
$50 feet from this vein is again *
posed and shows good milling
values. A large block of milling ore
is being opened up in this section.
"An interesting feature about this
ore development is that it is abso-
lutely virgin territory, no work hav-
ing been done either above or be-
low, hence there is an opportunity
for the development of a very large
tonnage. The mine is well venti-
lated and men can now work here
with comfort.
"The winze from the 2700 level
is down about thirty feet and ex-
poses in the bottom a vein over foul
feet wide of good ore, mostly gold
values, which has widened from n
foot to the present width in a dis
lance of twenty feet.
at is unfortunate that labor is so
scarce in this section, for l believe
that the rise in the price of silver
will permit the raising of necessary
capitol to develop and explore the
lower levels of the Comstock, even
as far down as the 50O0-foot level.
At the present time several gentle
Een are interesting themselves in
raising this capital, and I hope be-
fore spring it will be possible to
announce this as an accomplished
fact.
THAT silver will undoubtedly be
ramonetized the minute the val is
over is now the opinion of financial
writer's of the east, and this opinion
is openly expressed by many well
known bankers. Silver today occu-
pies a very peculiar position, the
producer must sell his silver at a
price some one gives out as the
price for that day, but when the
u. S. government comes along to
buy silver it pays a much higher
price.
"Why should not the silver pro-
Queer get the same treatment as the
