STATE ASSAYER
ISSUES REPORT
ING TO MOVING OF
SAMPLER

The November report of Francis
Church Lincoln as state. assayer has
been transmitted to the governors
Office.
The report points out that during
November the Western Ore Purchas-
ing company's sampler moved into
rev quarters and that as a result
many carloads of ore shipped in the
assayer's care were forwarded from
Hazen to smelters without sampling
and that the volume of business for
November was therefore less than
during October.
Mr.. Lincoln reports that r. l..
Green will be permanently stationed
at Hazen through a cooperative
arrangement whereby approximate
~ one-half of Mr.. Green's monthly
salary will be paid by the Wall
Street Copper company and the re-
r.ainder out of the state assayer
and inspector fund. A marked
growth in the amount of business
transacted by the ~assayers' office is
anticipated as a result OF Mr..
Green's remaining at Hazen.-Car-

CUT IN PRICE OF
COPPER UNLIKELY
MA NSON SAYS THAT RUMORS OF
REDUCTION ARE
UNFOUNDED

Despite rumOrs which were given
Ilen during the past few months, to
the effect that a cut in the price of
copper to something less than TWEEN
ty cents a pound after January |,
the price will be unchanged ac-
cording to information received by
Frank Manson. of the Western Ore
Pun chasing company.
Information reaching this office.
from sources which we regard as
reliable, are that although cutting
the present price of 23k cents "a
pound by from two to four cents
vas strongly considered a month
ago, it is not likely.
There is a strong downward
tendency, and no little agitation is
being made in the inner circles in
an attempt to have a set price fixed
al from eighteen to 20 cents a
pound after Jan. 1. Our office has
taken pains to run down the
that was circulated a month ago,
and we are o informed by sources
We consider reliable, hat no such
cut in price will be made, although
the plan vas given official consider

NINE INSPECTOR ON
VISIT TO YERINGTON

A. j. Stinson, inspector of mines,
has just returned from an inspection
trip in the Yerington mining dis
tiict. He states that conditions
generally are good in that district.
though production is limited some
what owing to the inability of the
smelter to obtain a sufficient sup
ply of coke to enable capacity oper-
alton.
Several leasers are doing well in
the Yerington district, Mr.. Stinson
reports. They are shipping ores to
California.
The Bluestone interests will soon
increase the capacity of their mill
ing plant from four hundred to
eight hundred tons per day.-Car-

He SAYS RABBIT
CHASED COYOTE
CIDENT ON DESERT NEAR
HERE

Adamantine Case, who is travelling
by automobile from southern Cali
fornia, where he has been recuper-
ating from an illness, to his home in
Colorado, states that while ap-
preaching Goldfield from the south
yesterday he saw a remarkable in
cident.
Case says that as he was travel
ing along in his automobile he saw
a cloud of dust rapidly approaching
him on the road. When he first saw
it the cloud was about a mile away
anG not knowing what was up he
stopped his a in wonderment, be-
ing unable to see anything to cause
the cloud.
The cloud approached him at the
rate of a mile a minute, he says,
and as it breezed by he was able
to- take a good look at it while it
was travelling for a distance of 100
yards.
He says that the dust was caused
by two animals, one chasing the
other, and that at this time he only
was able to see that the smaller
was chasing the larger, which APP
peared to be a coyote.
He says the animals made a great
circle through the sagebrush after
passing him, again getting on the
road and running toward him from
the same direction as before. Case
was by this time greatly excited and
climbed on the top of his car to
get a better view of the flying ami
mails.
AS they passed him this time,
from his improved vantage point
and the animals being tired and
travelling much slower, he was able
t. make certain that the speeding
peir in the cloud of dust were a rab-
bit and a coyote, the rabbit chasing
the coyote.
After passing him the second
time he says the animals disappear
ed over a hill and he was unable to
farther follow them, particularly as
he was afraid to leave the car,
fearing the ferocious rabbit.
Case believes that the rabbit vas
rabid and that if it succeeded in
overtaking its old enemy the coyote

KIMBERLY CONS.
STILL SHIPPING
PROPERTY IN HILLTOP DIS
TRICT IS NETTING GOOD
PROFITS

The Kimberly Consolidated at
Hilltop is making another shipment
of ore. This car, billed Tuesday, is
the third to have gone out within
thirty days.
The manager, j. V. Fenstermaker
feels greatly encouraged, having net
ted on the first car $~5,2S5.00.
The group of claims has yielded
in the past around 100000 and
gives promise of many thousands
more.
The work at present executed is
in the nature of stopping on the 200
level in the body recently discover
ed. 1t was while drifting on this
level that a two inch stringer was
picked up and followed, the final
result of which was the break into
the chimney of high-grade ore.
When first broken into the body
appeared to be the remains of a
Slope; upon exploration, however,
was found to be an extensive chin
ney of ore carrying high values in
gold, silver and copper, with lead
running around 10 per cent.
The present management hopes
should the weather conditions re-
main favorable giving open roads,
to keep the teams now on, occupied
soI some time.-Scout.

The property has been developed
and the various veins proven for
several miles in extent, and 1t is

mining west.
Since taking the property over the
management has enlarged the

LUN|NG MINES
SHOW UP WELL
DEPOSIT OF LEAD CARBONATE
OPENED IN PILOT
TERRITORY

I.UNING, New, Dec. ia week
of steady progress, with good but
not sensational results, would brief
ly tell the story contained in the
reports of the mines of the Luning
copper belt for the past seven days.
The management of the r. B. Todd
company is completing plans for
getting out a greatly increased ton
mage of silver-gold ores from hat
property to be shipped to the Uni
ted States Smelling and Refining
Company's plant at Kennett, Cal,
under the special contract recently
secured through Mr.. Brumblay.
The last shipment of these ores
was made to the Belmont company's
plant at Millers, and while the value
was satisfactory, the net returns to
the Todd company will be much bet
ter under the new contract with
the United States company.
The Luning Idaho company has
not yet received returns from the
first shipment of copper ore which
was SEN to the United States com
pany under the new arrangement,
put the rate is favorable and ship
merits will be regular in the future.
An unusual find, for the Luning
district, has been made on the Laura
Higgins claim of the Pilot Copper
company. AS is the case of most
of the properties in this section the
ore values of the Laura Higgins are
nearly all in copper, but in running
a cross-cut tunnel to facilitate hand
ling the product from a known shoot
of copper ore, a body of lead car
Donate was opened which assays Al
per cent lead and 81 ounces silver.
1t was a big surprise to the man
agement as they had noticed no sur
face or other indications to cause
them to suspect the existence of this
ore. The further development of
this showing will be watched with
Interest.
Chas. Kirchen, manager OF the
Eicchen Mines Corporation, is spend
ing practically all of his time at
the company's st. Patrick mine as
he wishes to take full advantage
Of tie splendid showings revealed as
the lower tunnel advances into the
mountain. :
Ever since the ore was first
struck in this tunnel there has
been a strong showing, but it has
grown steadily better the farther
it has penetrated the downward ex-
tension of the 100 ore-shoot, which
was previously the best showing in
the mine. The st. Patrick is one of
the few mines hat paid for it's de-
vclopment, or nearly SO, almost
from the start.
4 II. Wedekind, the engineer and
metallurgist, has completed his ex-
animation of the Wedge and is now
compiling his report. He hints that
it will contain conclusions and OBJ
scvvations of interest and import
ance to the whole district.

Charges Against Teacher

trustees of a rural district near
Lovelock were about to remove a
teacher in the school there, a young
woman named Adams, on the
ground that she had talked sedition
and had refused to pay proper res
pect to the flag. If on investiga-

facts to be as stated he will relieve
the teacher of her state certificate.

ANNUAL BALL WAS
GRATIFYING
; SUCCESS
IN MANY WAYS BIG CROWD
GAVE LITERALLY FOR
CHARITY

Early to bed and early to RISE
is q maxim that was badly broken
last night and this morning, the
being the ninth annual char
ity ball given last night by Gold
field lodge No. 1912, Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, which
proved n of the most highly-en-
t%ertaining events of the kind ever
given by the local lodge.
The lodge was host to one of the
largest crowds ever seen at the big
affairs, composed of Goldfielders
reinforced by large numbers from
nearby towns, and the old Gold
field spirit was manifested through
out the night, many of the dancers
remaining "till the peep O. day" in
the cabaret, where tables continued
at a premium until a late hour.
The ball is believed to have been
a great financial success and in con
sequence needy families of the town
will be we'll cared for at Christmas
time with all the d~elicacies of the
season, in accordance with the an
nual custom of the Elks.
From $3.50, when the grand march
led by Exalted Ruler Clyde P. John
son and Mrs. Johnson, started un-
til late in the morning the three
floors of the building were filled to
overlooking with the pleasure seek
ers, who patronized literally the
many attractions arranged by the
kali committee.
The 40 camp on the top floor of
the building was a big attraction
throughout the night and was n
O. the best sources of revenue, a
crowd continually being around the
James to win the numerous hand
some and useful prizes donated by
local merchants. The booth on the
main floor devoted to cigars and
cigarettes for the soldiers in
France also proved a popular fea-
tuIe.
II was a happy crowd that filled
the building last night and this
and it was the general
opinion that the committee In
barge had done we'll in handling
the affair on a moderate rcale in
keeping with the times and yet pro-
viding more than ample entertain
ment for the marrymakers.
During the evening John F. Kunz,
on behalf of the Elks' lodge, pre-
scented to Dave Patterson, a we'll
known Fish Lake valley rancher,
a handsome cut glass set, consisting
Of a water pitcher and six glasses.
The gift was a token of apprecia-
ton of the interest Patterson has
taken in the lodge and it's members
and the good fellowship shown by
him in gathering the Elks for bar
oecues at his ranch.
