MINING NOTES FROM
GOODSPRINGS DISTRICT

The gold sulphides in the Gold
Nugget. which was discovered sew
eral weeks ago. continue and the
showing improves daily. The prop
erty Is located just below the old
Keystone workings and belongs to
the Tom Thum Mining company Of
which F. O.. Wilkinson is general
manager.
Many favorable silver assays dur
ing the recent weeks lead one to
the belief that Goodsprings. the big
zinc camp, may at sometime become
a second Tonopah. w. e. Alan has
obtained an assay of 36S ounces of
silver from ore taken from the Lib
erty Group, recently located by him
All the work so far has been near
the surface but indications are most
favorable for the continuance of the
ore already exposed.
Another streak of high grade has
has been encountered in the Key
stone in the No. 2 slope on the 800
level. The ore is of the same char
acter as that recently found near
the surface and the assays run I'VE
$500 to the ton. Work on the new
shaft and drifts has been abandon
ed temporarily on account of water
which has been mixed with the
muck every since the recent storms.
A shipment of the high grade ore is
being prepared.-Goodsprings Gaz-
cite.

ALLEGED PRO-HUN
IS FOUND GUILTY
TO GERMANY AFTER
WAR

At the conclusion of his trial yes
terday afternoon before Justice of
the Peace Arnold. Gus Loose vas
found guilty of disturbing the peace
by a jury composed of F. c.. Favier,
Willis Lawrence. Ike Bair, A.. II.
Elftman, j. r. Dortch and William
Sharp. 1t was alleged that Loose
spoke against American war leaders.
He will be sentenced at 2 p. m. Mon
day,
Loose was unable to secure u
sci and appeared in his own behalf
He maintained that his statements
had been misconstrued, but in testi-
flying said that when the war was
over he would return to Germany
and hat he sympathized with hat
nation. 1t is understood that he
was convicted on his own statements
on the stand, although four witness
es for the prosecution testified to
the dlleSou pIO-Nci man Tain o"No W
have been made by Loose in the
course of a discussion of the war.
Loose appeared to be particularly
riled at Lord Northcliffe, English ed
itor, because he stated Northcliffe
had published stories of the capture
of German troops that were untrue.
He said he would never again dis
cuss the war.
In choosing the jury Loose made
what was believed to have been an
appeal for sympathy when he de-
manded that he be tried by a jury
composed of Americans and rejected
Ae juror because n of his ances-
&rs had been German.

NIXON NEVADA
LOOKS BETTER
WATER FROM NINE is USED TO
IRRIGATE A
FARM

RENO, New, Nov. 10. - While
nothing of a sensational nature was
developed during the week in the
Granite Hill district, IA miles north
of Reno, yet the showings in the
different working of the Nixon Ne
vada mine at least hold their own,
with improved indications in n or
two of the working faces.
The drift on No. 2 vein which for
some time has been in very high
grade ore, and where rock going 10
per cent copper was recently encoun-
tered, is still showing the rich ore,
the only change of note being that it
carries more than the usual amount
of gold. A great many specimens
have been picked out which show free
gold visible to the naked eye.
There is an improvement in the
ACE of the north drift on the No. l
vein and a little ore is showing in
the face. This drift opened up a
shoot of rich ore 200 feet in length,
after passing through which there
were but small values for a time.
The indications now are that anoth-
er ore-shoot is about to be entered
which it is believed will prove as
good as the first.
The cross-cut which is being ex-
tended to cut the big No. 4 vein at a
depth of 500 feet on it's dip is now
out 600 feet and there is quite a lit
tie iron showing in the face. This
and other indications warrant the be-
lief that the objective point will
soon be reached.
The chief engineer for the West
ern Pacific railroad was up from
San Francisco last week and prac-
tically decided on the location for
the Nixon Nevada station on their
line. 1t will be about 500 feet from
the south end-lines of the company's
property and will be a great convent
ence as we'll as making for economy.
Application has been made for a
post office at the Nixon Nevada,
there being more than the necessary
population. Telegraph and express
facilities have also been promised for
the near future. so that before long
the miners will not be subject to the
isolation which prevails at so many
mines.
Another feature which adds to

Nevada, the battle-born state that
gained name, statehood and fame by
supplying the finances for the union
during the dark days of '6O'64
when the Golfers of most all other
treasures we're empty, may again,
not only by her overwhelming re-
Spouse with men and coin, shine
brighter as one of the stars of the
union by supplying the necessary
manganese metal, at least in major
proportion, that will be required to
cute the war, and it is agreed among
the best authorities that steel" is
the factor that will eventually decide
the titantic struggle.
Nevada may also have the honor
of showing the world how low-grade
manganese ores can be treated so as
to the metals that are neces-
sary to Uncle Sam for his army and
navy.
There is plenty of manganese in
the United States for all war pur-
poses, etc., provided the low-grade
ores are utilized instead of wasted in
favor of high-grade manganese ore
for the sake of quick, large cash
ganese ore as we'll as other rich
pres yield.
Reference is made to manganese
ores that are refused by manganese
ore buyers, and which assay from IS
to 35 per cent manganese; an i'm
mense tonnage of this class of ma
terial is to be had in Nevada and adj
joining states.
These ores in some cases arc
combined with silver, zinc, lead, tin,
tungsten and other metals; in fact,
the very metals that the government
wants and which in most cases are
wasted partially or wholly in the
present method of metal finance"
Annexed are results on the extrac-
ton and recovery of such ores by
methods evolved by Charles S. Vad-
ner "a Nevada metallurgist, and en-
bodied in the form of several United
States patents, wherein the man
ganese contents are extracted and re-
covered to 99.9 per cent and in no
case less than 80 per cent.

RICH FIND MADE IN
GOLD CIRCLE NINE

1t is reported at Golconda hat ar
exceptionally rich strike has been
made in the Rex mine al Gold Cir
Gle and that Mr.. Morton, who is
operating a lease on that property
is extracting ore that assays $4,000
to the ton in gold and silver. Our
informant stated that a large body
OF the rich ore had been
ed and that an extra team has bee
engaged to haul the rich ore to Col
conda for shipment.
The new find was made in &
short drift run out from the main
workings of the property and is re
ported to be the richest strike V
made in the Gold Circle district.

ZINC SHELTERS
LOSING MONEY
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GIVES FIG
URES SHOWING OUTPUT OF
SPELTER

AS the result of a canvass by the
United States geological survey to
ascertain the production of spelter
in the United States during the third
quarter of 1917, c. E. Siebenthal es-
Inmates, on the basis of returns of
over 80 per cen of the production.
that the output of primary spelter
for domestic ores was 132,70O short
tons and from foreign ores 23.90O
tons, a total of 156,600 tons, as
compared to an average of 1S0,569
tons per quarter during the first
half of 1917. 175,502 ons per quar-
ter during the last half of 1916, and
i5S..2b tons per quarter during The
',rst ndlf of 1916.
In addition to the primary spelter.
the amount distilled from SKIM
mings, dresses, etc. was 400 tons,
as compared with 6OO0 tons in e:tcn
of the two quarters preceding The
total production for the first nine
months of 1917 was 444,267 tons
from domestic ores, 73,457 tons from
foreign ores and 1850 tons from
secondary materials. Returns not
yet having been received from the
Robert Lanyon Zine & Acid COM
pany and the Clarksburg Zinc COM
pany, it has been necessary to es-
innate their output together with
hat of two secondary plants.
The stocks of spelter at smelters
Sept. 80 amounted to 47,186 tons.
as compared with 33,147 IONS June
80 and 1888 tons Jan. 1.
The zinc content of zinc ore i'm
ported into the United States in the
third quarter of 1917 was $4,000
tons, and the exports during July
and August of spelter made from
domestic ores were $1,000 tons and
of spelter made from foreign ore
5000 tons. The number of idle re-
torts Sept. 80 a 64,626, or 2S
per cent of the total number of re-
torts, and included Is entire plants.
several of which are being disman-
tied. One electrolytic plant also will
possibly be ~dismantled.
1t is evident that many zine smelt-
ers, loath to break up their labor
forces where there was a probability
that pOvernment requirements might
call for their full capacity, have con-
tinued smelling when it was no
longer profitable. or even at a loss,
thinking that the heavy orders ex-
pected when this country entered
the war would eventually be given;
but it is also evident hat this UNI
profitable production can not much
longer be maintained.

MAKES PLEA FOR
AID Of RAILROADS
SENATOR NEWLANDS SAYS
COCNTRY'S NEEDS DE-
MAND LIBERAL POLICY

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-Ap-
pealing to the entire country to
stand by a constructive policy re-
garding the railroads, on the
ground that transportation was the
great economic problem of the day,
United States Senator Francis G.
Newlands told the business men
of San Francisco the other day
that there had been enough punt
tive and corrective legislation.
Newlands heads the joint on
g~ressional committee on foreign and
interstate commerce and is regarded
as one of the country's foremost au-
thorities on the subject.
Speaking before the San Francis
CO Commercial Club, Senator New
lands said:
THE president of the United
States has called our attention to
the fact hat it is important we
should again enter upon a construc-
tive era, realizing that almost
everything has been done that
could be done in the way of punt
tive and corrective legislation, and
that we have the administrative
power which is necessary to cor
rect any evils that may now exist
or arise in the future.
when the wal broke out" said
the speaker, I'VE realized that rail
road facilities, enormous as they
were, while adequate, perhaps, in
time of peace were not adequate to
these enormous and abnormal de-
mands thrown upon the transporta-
ton system of the country by the
war"
Senator Newlands recalled that
as a result of the period of depres-
sion during 1913 and 1914, due in
great measure to economic changes
in legislation. the railroads were
suffering from a loss of income and
were compelled to undertake finan-
cial retrenchment, which while wise
from the view point of the internal
condition of the carriers, was not
eXpedient from the standpoint of
the country's need.
Therefore, that is why / am
making an appeal to you all and to
this entire country to stand by and
sustain a constructive policy re-
garding the railroads, not so much
that the railroad bondholders and
stockholders may earn interest and
dividends on their investments, but
for the principal reason alone that
the public interests absolutely re-
quire that these great public
agencies should be fully developed
and that We all should act in such
a way as to encourage private CAPT
tai in enlarging these facilities
throughout the entire country"

SULPHUR FOUND IN
PLEASANT VALLEY
VALUABLE DEPOSITS TO BE
OPENED ON A BIG
SCALE

A new sulphur deposit has been
uncovered by j.. b. Truitt in the
mountain range on the east side OF
Pleasant valley. The discovery was
made last Sunday and the samples
brought to town show the material
to be solid crystallized sulphur.
This is an important discovery,
for SULPHUR Is in big demand at
the present time and is command
ing a high price. In speaking of
the find, Mr.. Truitt stated that he
had only accomplished a limited
amount of prospecting on the claim,
but from general appearance the
deposit was of good size.
Other known deposits of sulphur
in Humboldt county are at Sulphur,
a station on the Western Pacific,
so miles west of Winnemucca. At
this place n of the sulphur pro-
perties has been under almost con-
tinuous operation for the past 40
years and an immense tonnage of
refined sulphur has been hauled by
teams to Humboldt and shipped
over the Southern Pacific, but in
later years it has been sent out over
the Western Pacific, which runs
only a short distance from the pro-
perty.
Another company is arranging to
operation another property at Sui
phur and expects to install a sui
phuric acid plant there in the near
future.
Small sulphur deposits have been
discovered in other places in the
county. but with the exception of
the mines at Sulphur none of them
have been developed to a producing
stage.

the comfort and ~well-being of the
miners and which turned a liability
into an asset, was the utilization of
the water from the mine for the irri-
cation of a model farm, which fur
nishes a variety of fresh vegetables
for the table. When the water was
first struck in the mine it was look
ed upon as a calamity; now the prod
uct of 20 acres under cultivation is
paying the fuel bill for the entire
property.

WOOD PROVES PRACTICAL FOR
PAVING

Kansas City, No., Jan. 10Th
Twenty five million square yards OF
wooden pavement were laid in the
United States during the year 1916,
according to reports complied from
all sources by the various lumber
associations. Rapid increases have
been shown in the use Of the wood
en- block during recent years, espec-
tally since it has generally been
known that it is more cinging to the
automobile tire than any other form
of pavement.
/ Cities where, 100000 square
yards or more of block were laid in
the year just closed are New Haven,
Conn.,, Detroit, Mich, Minneapolis,
Mimi, St. Paul, Mimi, and Kansas
City, Mo. About 100000 square
yards of block were laid in factor
les during the twelve-month period.
Among the biggest of the contracts
were $4,000 square yards for the
