GREAT GOLD CAMP ABANDONED

Delamar, at one time one of the large gold producers of the country, is now said to be almost entirely abandoned. This camp was discover ed by the Dooley brothers in 1882, the mines finally passing into the hands of Capt. Delamar, who made the camp one of the big gold centers of the state of Nevada. After the death of Delamar the mines went into the pos session of the Bambergers, of Utah, who continued the operation of the property until it ceased to be profitab- \ ly handled. Since that time miners and tributers have taken out the. small blocks of ore remaining in the mines and few still there eking out eXis- tence. James McFadden, who at one time was resident of this county, was interested in the mines of Mon key Wrench district, in which the Delamar mines were situated and was one of the men who reaped harvest from this holdings, although he did not live long to enjoy it. His wife and children are now living in Salt Lake City, as are the Dooleys, who own large blocks in the Mormon City.
 At the time of the purchase of the Dooley mines Capt. Delamar was the principal owner of the Murcur mines, in the eastern part of Utah. This great property produced millions, be- ing the making of the massive for tune that Capt. Delamar died possess ed of. From the Monkey Wrench mines there was said to have been taken more than $25,000,000 under the management of Delamar and at least $1O,O0O,0O0 from the control of Bambergers. Like so many of the other ghost cities of the mining west Delamar has passed into the realm of the misty past, to be pointed to by the tourist as the camp that made the name of an old mining operator famous.

BurlaIs In "the Abbey"

Westminster Gazette: How many more burials will there be in Vest minister abbey? Within Its walls lie the remains of close on three thou. sand people, and so numerous are the monuments and memorials that 1t is impossible to prevent them jostling each other without the slightest pre- tentions to artistic arrangement. Both Westminster abbey and St. Pauls' are excepted from the general prohibition of intramural interments, but the time has almost arrived when, from sheer want of space, no further burials will be possible in the abbey. It has been suggested that national mau- soleum should be provided by utilizing the old "undercroft" to the east of the Great Cloisters, part of which is the Chapel of the Pyx and part of the gymnasium of Westminster school. Though this is outside the abbey itself, 1t Is in the abbey precincts.

road and tried to operate the car, but something went wrong and when an other car arrived he secured help and proceeded as far as Danby, Califor- mia, where the car broke down and was abandoned. West remained with the other party to Ludlow and there changed into another car arriving in Los Angeles with a MT. Warrick. He was trailed by Sheriff w. P. Mahoney and deputy J. M. Shaw and on advices from them West was arrested four days later by officer Nolan. West maintained that he was asleep in the back of the car when he was awaken ed by holdup and in the excitement fired the shot that killed Smith. He claimed that the holdup men gave him the money taken from Smith which was smeared with blood. On the day of the murder telegram was sent to the Brownwood bank requesting that Smiths account at that institution be closed and his balance sent in cash ier's check to Magdalena, New Mexi- co. It is believed that West sent this wire, although no proof of this feature was forthcoming at the trial.

GREAT DEPOSIT OF GYPSUM

An enormous deposit of gypsum has been located on the Big Sandy in the Aquarius mountain section by Asa Le- Baron and J. K. P. Fancher. The material is said to be unusually free from deleterious substances and it's grade is so high that it has interested men who have been looking for gyp- sum of this character. As soon, as tests are completed it is expected that the property will be taken over and the extent of the big mass ascertained. While the deposit is about 50 miles from railroad it will be close to wagon transportation for the richer material and when railroad is carried in there the big deposit can, be worked to ad- vantage. tr' -''

TRAVEL AT TERRIFIC SPEED
Eleetrons Can Be Sent Through the Air at the Rate of 60,000
 Miles a Second.

An airplane doing POO miles an hour Is considered to be fairly speedy ob. 1ect, but its flight is cumbersome com pared to another form of movement, a form that has been measured, and one that man can make at will. The 200 miles an hour becomes pale when 1t Is known that man sends certain things at the rate of 60,0O0 miles a second, or more than twice around the world while a watch ticks. This Is about one-third as fast as light travels, and if the objects mentioned could be directed they would reach the moon In four seconds.
 The units thus created are electrons, and they have been sent at the terrific rate of speed mentioned in glass tubes from which a certain amount of air has been pumped. They are what Crookes called the fourth state of mat ter" solid, liquid and gas, having long been familiar to every one. There is a theory now held by some scientists that these electrons are the basic mat ter of everything in, on or under the earth, the substance of which mole cules and atoms are made, and that they are in themselves force or move ment, that every one of them has been on or in the earth since the origin of time millions of years ago, and they always will be In some form or other perhaps diamond, perhaps a human being, perhaps a child's toy or part of a mountain or sea.

Anxious to Help Brother,

A young woman in Denver had sought the advice of a woman friend with reference to the adyisability of obtaining divorce.
 Of course," said the friend, after a lengthy recital of the others trou- bles had been communicated to her, you've had your marital difficulties, just like the rest of us; but really, from what you have said I shouldn't think you would be justified in talk ing this step. You have no other ground for seeking a divorce, have you?"
 'To be perfectly frank" said the young woman, "in addition to all that l have told you, have brother who Is lawyer, and I am very anxious to give him something to do."

Vandover is the owner of the old Colorado Grande mine, at Cedar, or rather at the San Francisco camp, in Cedar Valley dis trict. This property is one of the most important in that section, the vein being unusually large and values showing in many places. During the past year MT. Vandover has been hard at work on the mine and has made quite a showing of ore.

MUST SHOW MINERAL IN PLACE

oIloN IN l LtSI
 Following the general ruling of the land office mineral in place must be disclosed before patent may issue to a mining claim in the national forest There is only one instance where a ruling adverse to this has been made, and that related to a mining claim close in to developed territory. The rule has always been that in. an agri- cultural region the burden of mineral proof is on the applicant, but that in the mineral sections of the country the burden is on the agriculturist. The reason for a late ruling of the land office regarding mineral in place came up through an applicant for patent to a claim in the national forest, the assistant secretary of the Interior holding that not only must the appli- cant show that the ground is mineral but that a discovery of mineral in place has been made.

WILL INVEST IN
 MOHAVE COUNTY

T. J. Donovan and William c. Fast now, who arrived last week from Fort Worth, Texas, to look over the mines of this county, are we'll satisfied with what they saw, so they reported to a Miner reporter. MT. Donovan is a large oil operator in Texas and Okla homa, having promoted some of the largest operating companies in the Wichita Falls field during the palmy days of that section. He was one of the first to go into Cripple Creek, Colorado, and was also leading the booms at Thunder Mountain, Nome, Alaska, and Rhyolite, Nevada, and is nationally known in the mining world.
 Previous to his arrival in Mohave county MT. Fastnow was general man ager of the Oil Exchange and Board of Trade of Breckenridge, Texas, and was also connected with the various exchanges of Fort Worth, Wichita Falls, Texas, and Eldorado, Ark. He is well known among the oil men of the southwest and has connection with many of the stock and bond brokers of the country.
 We understand that the gentlemen have under consideration the taking over of several groups of claims. If this is done sinking will be commenced as soon as machinery can be moved onto the ground. They also have in contemplation the opening of brok- craze house for the transaction of general brokerage business.
