RICH FIND AT
GOODSPRINGS

c. B. Stewart, one of the chief
owners of the Copper Meta proper
ty, located in the Goodsprings
district, Nevada, yesterday received
a letter from w. E. Jensen, mining
engineer. who writes from the
ground that the miners have just
opened a body of ore that carries 35
per cent copper.
The ore of such unusual richness
was opened in a seam and has wild
ened to about two feet. with every
indication of permanency.
1t is also stated in the letter of
Mr.. Jensen that a number of emf
nent engineers who have recently
made an examination of the proper
ties in the Goodsprings district re-
gard the section as one which will,
with development, equal the terri
tory in the vicinity of Bisbee, Ari-
iona, which is now famed in the
production of copper.
Mr.. Stewart, who is also heavily
interested in the property of the
New Dominion Copper company, To-
Gated in the same district, said that
settlement for three cars of ore that
averages 5000 per car had just
been made at the International smell
ter and that three more were being
loaded for shipment.-Bonanza.

nounced that chief activity in the
governments nationwide investiga-
ton into the high cost of living
would shift to the middle west, es-
pecial attention being paid to the
activities of coal dealers in Cincin-
rati, Cleveland, Detroit, Toledo and
other cities.
George w. Anderson, United
States district attorney for the Bos-
ton district directs the inquiry. He
will &c over information outlined for
presentation to the federal grand
jury in Chicago and probably will
visit also Detroit, where another
grand jury inquiry will be begun.
Later he may go to st. Louis, Kan
sas City and Minneapolis.
After Analysing figures obtained
from the department of agriculture
officials conducting the inquiry say
that II of the chief needs of the
country is a better method of dis
tribution of foodstuffs. The method
followed at present, it is said, would
fail in time of emergency. Indica-
tions are that this phase of the sub
ject will be placed before the presi-
dent.

the royalties from the several
leases now operating on the pro-
perty will be paid to the Jumbo
Extension company, to apply on the
purchase price. The property is
said to possess good promise of
making a copper mine of great
value. 1t is situated Is miles from
Nolan station, on the Southern Pa
cific railroad, and about As miles
east of Luning and is in the Rand
mining district. some eight miles
from Rawhide. Lessees have al
ready made shipments of copper
ore aggregating in value about
$4,000.
In the local property of the
Jumbo Extension company the new
Calyx core drilling equipment has
been assembled on the 1017-foot
level of the Velvet workings and
drilling will proceed at once and
will be carried to great depth to
explore the alaskite contact and
the assures of quartz that are
known to extend far within tho
shale. The extraction of high-grade
ore forming the pillars in the rich
Slopes is expected to defray all the

from any other known ore-shoot.
The full face of the drift has been
showing ore of commercial grade,
including about IS inches of ore
that averages over $50 per ton in
gold. The intermediate level,
opened a short time ago above the
main level, has also continued to
show ore of excellent grade.
Silver Pick Cons.
Development work is again MAX
ing good progress in the Silver Pick
mine, at a depth of 100 feet,
where the new workings have been
in quartz of excellent appearance,
containing small seams and parti-
cles of ore from which high assays
have been obtained. The west cross
cut is being advanced to reach the
hanging wall of the Ore-channel and
it is announced by Manager Dyer
that sinking will be resumed in the
aear future to reach and explore the
surface of the alaskite. Core
drilling operations continue in the
western part of the property, where
most encouraging results have been
obtained.
SandstOrm-Kendall
The vein has been penetrated by
the vertical raise from the 350-foot
level of the Sandstone, and at this
,ainf uhiln thn rniSn &c hninU nnn-
tinued, following the incline of the
vein, drifts are to be extended both
ways on the foot-wall side of the
lode, to prospect for the big ore
shoot hat yielded a fortune in leas-
ing operations nearer the surface.
Some samples of ore taken from
the raise have yielded most en-
couraging assays.
Cracker Jack
The Cracker Jack property is in a
condition that promises develop
ments of great interest within the
next week or two. The east cross
cut on the 320-foot level is appar-
emily about to enter the main Co
lumbia Mountain fault vein and is
now passing through a zone of brok-
eli, oxidized material, similar 10
that which marks the foot-wall for
nation on the upper levels. Large
bodies of good mill ore have been
exposed on and above the %120-foot
level and the cross-cut on the 500
level has been driven with the OBJ
ject of seeking the downward extern
sion of the large ore-shoot found
above this depth. Drifts will be
extended both ways in the big vein
and prospects for finding deposits
of shipping ore at this depth are
generally regarded as excellent.

Coastwise Steamship Men
 Argue for Rate Increase

Washington. May 10.-Spokesmen for railroads in the west and steamship com panes operating along the Atlantic sea board appeared before the interstate commerce commission and seconded the plea of carriers in other sections of the country that an increase of 15 per cent in freight tariffs is absolutely necessary if bills are to be paid during the coming year.
 Statistics presented to the commission on behalf of seven coastwise steamship companies purported to show that be- cause of the rise in the price of material and labor the concerns faced a deficit of more than s2,OOo,ooO In their net in- come for the coming year The com panies represented were the Merchants and Miners Transportation company, the Old Dominion Steamship company. the Clyde Steamship company, the Mallory Steamship company the Ocean Steamship company of Savannah, the Baltimore Steam Packet company and the Chesa- peake Steamship company. 15 per cent increase, the commission was told, would barely cover the deficit confronting the water carriers.

INSANE MAN KILLS FOUR AND HIMSELF
 IN COUNTRY HOME
Young Farmer, Brooding Over III Health, Wipes Out Entire Family and
 Notifies Coroner
By AssOciated Press

Elkton, Ky. May 1O-Frank Millen, a prominent youn farmer, aged 30, insane it is supposed from breeding over ill health, this morning killed his father Charles Millen; his mother, his brother, Elmo, and the latters wife, bride of life by hanging and shooting himself at the family home three miles from this place.
 News of the tragedy. the most awful in the history of Todd county, reached the authorities at this place through a tele- phone message from Frank Millen him. self, to Coroner Bartlett about 6:30 this morning. The message said:
 SENDS MESSAGE TO CORONER
 Come out to Charley Millen's at once the whole family is dead but me, and I'll be dead when you get here.''
 The coroner notified Sheriff Chestnut, Chief of Police Edwads and other of ficers, and with these went to the scene at once. When-they arrived at the Mill len farm a bloody scene was presented. The bodies of Charles Mllen and wife and Mrs. Elmo Millen were found in various rooms of the house. They had been killed with an aX, to all appear ances. Elmo Millen's body was found in stable; he had been shot. Frank Mill lens body was found hanging in the porch with a shotgun wound through the heart All were dressed, the victims ap- parently having been engaged in their customary morning occupations when struck down.
 NOTE WAS LEFT
 IT. a room back of the porch was found ths note:
 May g. The deed was done to avoid suffering on this earth. To executors: Sell all live stock at once.
 LAST HEIR, FRANK MILLEN."
 The family had lived happily together and was very prosperous. Elmo Millen was well known in political circles in the county. Frank Millen had been known as quiet, industrious young man, and was well liked generally. His deed can only be explained by the supposition that his mind had given way under breeding over fears of tuberculosis, with which doctors
 are said to have told him he was af- flicted.
