LONGFELLOW IS
DEVELOPING ORE
FREE-MILLING PRODUCT is En-
POSED IN NINE WORK.
INGS

e. w. Carman was down from
the Longfellow mine yesterday and
while here arranged for the purchase
of a two-ton truck, which will be used
in hauling ore from the mine to the
mill. Mr.. Carman is anxious to get
the truck and hopes to be able to
get a good supply of ore stored in
the bins at the mill before snow
hinders operations.
The working shaft is on the Big
Frank ledge and goes to a depth of
$50 feet. On this level the Brougher
ledge is cut by a tunnel at a distance
of 495 feet from the shaft. This
ledge is four feet wide on this level
and carries values of $40 per ton
in free milling gold ore.
At the surface this ledge gave
values of $3.50 per ton and with the
present depth has increased over
600 per cent in values. Ore will be
taken from this ledge on the 800
foot level and will be the first to be
milled and the ore now blocked out
will b ehoisted and hauled to the mill
when the motor truck arrives. Ho "
ever, this work may be held off I'M
til spring should bad weather come
early in the season.
To the north of the Brougher
ledge a tunnel is now being run to
tap what is known as the Jim But
Ter ledge and from indications of
clay now in the face of the tunnel
it is thought that the ledge will soon
be picked up. From the surface this
ledge is plainly seen to dip to the
north and while the tunnel is now
in 800 feet beyond the Brougher
ledge, the distance to be tunneled
cannot be far.
When the ledge is tapped it will
undoubtedly prove to be rich, and
from the fact that the tunnel is 400
feet below the surface of the ground
good values are expected. The sur
face Lodges in that district are badly
broken up and Mr.. Carman has al
ways contended that permanent ore
bodies would be encountered with
depth. This was proved on the
Brougher ledge and the work now
being done is expected to further
substantiate this belief. - Gardner

WILLOW CREEK NOW
HAS BONANZA ORE
HIGH-GRADE SPECIMENS COME
FROM NYE COUNTY
DISTRICT

A. J. F1angas, who for some years
past has been largely interested in
the development of mining property
in the Willow creek district of Nye
county, came in from the camp dur
ing the week, bringing a number of
handsome specimens of free gold
ore from the Liberty mine, in which
Ely and Salt Lake people are in
terested. The Liberty people are
now driving an S0-foot tunnel to
cut the lead of high-grade ore,
which had entered the wall casing
at the time Of Mr.. Flagas depart
ure.
The 10-stamp mill recently pur-
chased by the company is now ar
irving on the ground. and will pro-
badly go into commission some time
next month, or a little later. The
company has a considerable tonnage
of milling ore developed and on the
dumps of its various properties.
hence a successful run in the near
amount of high-grade ore has been
produced, some of which will run
into the thousands per ton.
Goodman, Osterlund and EngeIke,
the principal owners of the Willow
Creek Gold Mining company, are
also steadily developing their prop
erty, and are now sinking a winze
from the floor of the tunnel which
is going down in high grade ore.
Steven J. Pappas, one of the dis
coverers of the district, is also de-
veloping some of his recent discov-
cries, and is taking out some very
rich "
Altogether there is now more
work going on in the district than
for some years past.-Ely Record.

everjoyed to see us. On arriving at

we found many people on the streets,
although it was near midnight and
not a light showing. They did not
know who we were, and when told
they went wild. No cheering was
done, for it is forbidden at night,
but a ripple was seen to spread on
ahead of us and eager hands were
extended in the dark.

O'Toole were in Austin Wednesday
on business. Mr.. Martin with the
O'Toole Bros. and John Clifford own
a group of silver-lead claims at
Washington canyon in the San Juan
district south of Austin. The boys
having been working on the prop
erty for some weeks past have de
veloped ore in five different places.
The ledge averages about three feet
in width and Mr.. Martin states that
the ore will average over 500 in
lead and silver with a trace of gold,
but carries no zinc whatever.
The young men returned to
Washington canyon Thursday ac-
companied by j. L. Bryson. a pro-
minent mining a representing a
wealthy syndicate. which is now
looking for such properties as these
young men possess.-Austin Re-

ANNUAL WORK
ON CLAIMS
RENTED
BILL Is PASSED TO RELIEVE
CLAIM OWNERS DURING
WAR

Information has been received
here from Washington to the effect
that congress has passed a general
law doing away with the require
ment for the annual 500 worth of
labor on mining claims during the
present war with Germany. This
information was contained in a let
ter sent to Attorneys Thompson and
Thompson by Congressman Roberts
of Nevada.
1t is stated in the letter that the
bill has passed both houses of con-
gress and is now in conference, and
that it will be agreed to. passed and
signed.
This is the first intimation receiv-
ed here that a bill of this character
was under consideration in con-
gress. although dispatches had told
of a measure, introduced by Senator
Pittman, to exempt from the annual
work mining claims owned by men
called for military service or by men
engaged in war industries.
There is a wide variance of opin-
ion in mining circles regarding the
fairness and wisdom of enacting
a measur such as that said to be
pending in cangress at present, par
ticularly in view of the fact that
many claim owners have already
performed their annual labor.

Opium Ring Leader Arrested

Two Chinese, Charlie Joe and
Yew Bow, were arrested at Reno
and over $500 worth of opium, two
opium scales, a cheap opium pipe
and several ans of yenshee were
confiscated in a raid on a Chinese
drug store by federal officers. Ac-
cording to w. T. Truxton, special
agent for the trade department,
Charlie Joe is a leader and one of
the largest dealers in opium, CO.
caine and other hop" in the west
and he expects that the raid will
put a stop to the traffic in drugs in
this state. When the officers for
ced Charlie Joe to open his safe
they found over $4,000 in gold
in a small box. This was the China

WORK OF MERCY
FOR RED CROSS
GOOD SERVICE is BEING Rem
DERED IN DEVASTATED
REGIONS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. e.
What the Red Cross Commission
10 France is doing to aid repatriat-
ed French families is described in a
cablegram from Major Grayson NJ
p. Murphy, just received by the
Red Cross war council. The cable
is as follows:
Two trains of French rapatries,
containing 1000 people, 60 per cent
of whom are women and children,
arrive daily in Evian homeless, sick,
terrorized after three years of cap
tivity. The American Red Cross is
cooperating with the government
ana a local committee in the care
of these people.
"On September 9Th DR.. William
P. Lucas, Chief of the Children's
Bureau of the Commission, started
the American Red Cross medical
work for the children of rapatries
pouring into Evian daily. These
children are in very poor condi-
ton, many suffering from tubercu-
losis, skin and infectious diseases.
THE American Red Cross is
opening a dispensary in connection
with the receiving bureau at Evian,
and an acute hospital of 80 beds
for the sickest children. A o
valescent hospital of 100 beds at
Thonon near Evian is being taken
over by the Red Cross and plans
and being made for a larger conval-
escent hospital of 25O beds at st.
Joseph du Lac near Evian.
"One American nurse has been
in charge of 100 beds for sick chill
dron for eight months and the re-
suits with the meagre equipment
have been marvellous. The Ameri-
cen Red Cross has sent seven am
balances to Evian for t~ransporta-
ton of sick children to the hospi-
tails. This was an acute need as
sick and exhausted women and chill
dren can now be handled by auto
mobiles instead of trains"

MINING SILVER IN 1
HUMBOLDT COUNTY
NEW STIMULUS is GIVEN BY
ADVANCE IN
PRICE

The high price of silver has Great
ed "a considerable movement in the
mining industry and many of the
old silver camps of the county and
prospects are being looked into, and
from present indications will soon
be under development. With silver
over the dollar mark there are a
large number of properties that
have been lying idle for years that
will again be made productive.
n camps of Rochester, Seven
Troughs, Antelope, National. Gold
Run, Unionville, Kennedy and many
others in Humboldt county have
been stimulated by the continued
rise in the white metal and now
Spring City and the Paradise mines
are coming into the spotlight.
h Paradise group of claims has
a great record as a producer and at
one time ranked as the third larg-
est bullion producer on the coast.
This property is situated at the
head of Paradise valley and about
flfty miles northerly from Winnie
mucca. The first locations were
made in the year 1878 by Charles
Siskron and others.
Thls estate has undergone consid-
cradle development along the strike,
but to no great depth. Neverthe-
less this property has produced over
$1,000 600 in bullion and still has
good showings of ore.--Humbeldt
