GOOD MINES IN
0RMSBY COUNTY
DISCOVERIES OF PAY ORE RE-
PORTED NEAR CAR
son CITY

George H.. Cress and L.. A.
Thomas, who are in charge of the
property of the Panama Canal Min
ing company located about 5R
miles from Carson City, were in
yesterday exhibiting large samples
of ore that makes this property
look like a winner. The ore was
struck in the tunnel on the prop
erty, which is nov in a distance OF
40 feet, and the ledge is 80 inches
wide with eight inches of high
grade from which the ore was taken
that the elated mining men we're
showing to their friends.
The values in the quartz is in sill
yer. and while returns are being
awaited from the assayer, it is GER
tain that it will show not less than
5000 to $500 to the ton, some have
placed their estimate far above this.
The property of the company is
owned by Grin H. Dubois, who is
operating the Washington and Ne
ada Mines company property to
the north of Ca.'son City, and is
under bond and lease to the Pana-
ma Canal Mining company, which
is. like the company organized by
Mr.. Dubois, composed of people of
Bellingham, Wash. At the present
time close to a ton of the high-grade
has been taken out and it is the
intention to proceed with the work
and make a shipment of the ore to
the smelter.
With this strike 5k miles to the
southwest of Carson City; the ex-
cellent showing being made on the
Washington and Nevada mine. 10
miles to the north of town; and
likewise on the property being
worked by E. C. Upton, VIM. San
ford and A. G. Meyers to the west
of town, it looks as If Ormsby
ty would soon be in the producing
class.-Carson News.

ACTIVITY AT RAND
INCREASING DAILY

The 150-fOot crOss-cut from No.
1 shaft in the Copper Mountain has
intersected the copper deposit and
drifts that are advancing both ways
IN ore of excellent quality. The
M!iler-La Pate lease has also open
ed additional ore-reserves from the
shaft recently carried $50 feet deep
e-. and is again shipping splendid
ore. Shafts two and three are max
ing good progress and are expected
to enter the ~ore-bearing zone within
a short time, when shipments will
be started on a large scale.
The Nevada-Rand company is
opening silver-bearing ore in the
east drift from the $50 level and
SuperiDt ,nicnt Charles Koegel en-
poets to intersect the main orebody
in the immediate future. Late work
on the $50 has been distinctly en-
couraging. and the property is in
a position to produce heavily. AL
though much high-grade ~silver-gold
ore is blocked out it will not be
shipped but will be mixed with the
milling product for treatment at
the projected ten-stamp milling
plant Reno Gazette.

BIG OREBODY AT THE
YELLOW PINE EXTENSION

A. J. Robbins, principal stockhold-
er and manager of the Yellow Pine
Extension, reports the discovery of a
big body of ore in the old workings.
This is the largest body Of ore yet
found and is of a very good grade,
making a shipping ore of 3S per
cent.
AS the Alive this mine turned out
many thousands of dollars and its
location with regard to the Yellow
Pine suggests the possibility that
here, too, the district may see an
other big mine. In the new shaft
they are drifting on the 800 level,
but as yet have encountered no ore.
Mr.. Robbins considers it but a mat
ter of a short time, however, until
they strike the main ledge.-Good-
springs Gazette.

square and will in this way receive
state money for support. Children
from Silver Peak have been attend
ing school at Blair, owing to no ap-

Success as q Singer.

To captivate the world as a singer of
songs is as simple as-well, as Yvette
Guilbert says 1t is. for Yvette, whose
art Is supreme. has just been explain
ing It's secrets. Here Is her recipe:
you must have In your m voice all
voices, all %colors; In your one face all
expressions; In your II SOU all the
souls Of all people. And you must
work, work, work! When you have
worked for ten years, twenty years,
you will find yourself only at the be-
ginning"
There Is a little more. You must
have a long and stern course Of vocal
gymnastics for the voice, of plastique
for the harmonious and expressive use
of the body, Of history, literature,
painting, sc%ulpture-all forms Of art
and beauty must bring their influence
to bear on the creative imagination OF
the singer, "or you are nothing, moth
ing!"
And that is how 1t Is done.-London

GRANTED EXEMPTION
ON APPEAL

The district exemption board for

time limit had elapsed. George K.
Carroll claimed to be the sole sup
port of a mother. Balmer also

BOND IS TAKEN ON
MINES OF PROMISE
WATER RIGHTS SECURED AND
DEVELOPMENT WORK
WILL START

Utah and Nevada men have taken
over another mining "ODerrv near
the Utah-Nevada line, which is
credited with a production Of half ii
million in ores. Today Clinton ID.
Ray of Salt Lake and Henry Good
man of Ely came in from White
Pine county and told of the purchase
of three properties on . bond and
lease. These include the Grand De-
post, Amargosa and Kansas The
district is 81 miles by team to Currie
station and "a miles over the hills
to the McGill smelter. Just what
route will be used in moving the
ore to market has not yet been de
termined.
However, ore is being stacked uQ
now for shipment in the immediate
future. 1t is estimated that some
of the best ore will sample co ounc-
es silver and &c to Is Par cen C J.
per.
On the Grand Deposit group for
instance, the ore has been followed
down to the 200 level. It Is eight TO
10 feet wide in places. The main
formation there is porphyry, diabase
and limestone. The ore is found in
big iron assures cutting through all
the members.
The company has taken over the
old Bassett ranch, which affords ex-
cellent water and provender fc the
animals needed in ore transportation.
The McGill route is too steep for the
tractors, but would answer for team
ing.-Elko Free Press.

BUSKSK|N MINE
HAS BEEN SOLD
KENNEDY CONS. PROPERTY
ACQUIRED BY SALT LAKE
INTERESTS

Control of the Kennedy Consoli-
dated Gold Mining company, orig
inally owned by w. G. Pitt, w. T.
Campbell and w. d. Kennedy, this
week passed to John F. Cowan,
we'll known mining operator of
Salt Lake City, and his associates.
The mining property, which is a
heavy producer, is located in Lyon
county, at Buckskin, about four
miles from the famous old Ludwig
copper ground.
The mine, which was discovered
more than ten years ago, was orig
inally worked as a gold property,
and leasers in the earlier periods
took out a considerable amount of
gold. With the interest in copper,
and with a change in the character
of the ore developed, the Kennedy
property soon became more valuable
as a copper mine than as a gold
producer.
Considerable important develop
ment work is being done by Cowan
and his associates, and now that
they are in control, the campaign
will probably become more active.
Electric power line from the present
terminals are being extended to the
property, and a crew of men are
making good progress in sinking.
The deal which changed the con
troll was negotiated by Carl Stod-
dard of Reno.-Reno Gazette.

hours without food or water the
prisoner was forced to surrender to
one of the officers. who waited for
