H|CHCRADF GOLD SPECIMENS FROM
 LOR|NC PROPERTY

George Probasco last evening brought in from the Sunbeam mine, north of the Katherine, some hand some specimens of gold ore. These specimens were broken out of the big vein and show considerable gold in the free. This is the property that was recently taken over by W. J. Lor- ing, president of the American Min ing Congress, and upon which a big development campaign is to be inaug- urated.
 The Sunbeam is one of the most im- ,portant veins in the Katherine field, having 75 feet of solid quartz between the walls, which are more than 100 feet apart Another vein of enor. nous size is also within the side lines of the claim and from both of which comes rock that pans high in gold. The property is situated about 8 miles north of the Katherine and west of the Gold Chain and in one of the best parts of the new goldfields. MT. Probasco has been prospecting the outcrop of the vein and has found many places where gold shows free in the rock. Like the Gold Chain it is one of the real big things of the district and the impression is that it will develop into as potential a prop erty as either the Katherine or the Chain. MT. Loring is to soon have development under way on the prop erty, which consists of five claims, all of which show values in gold.
 The development of these claims by a man with the judgment and fore sight of MT. Loring is sure to attract attention among the mining interests of the country and will add weight to the claims of the operators of the dis trict that they have one of the great est undeveloped mining sections of the country.

BIG BOND SPINDLE
 ROCKS THE COUNTRY

The big bond houses of the country have been crying down investments in mines and impressing upon the public mind the stable quality of bond invest ments. Mining promotions have been saddled with every crime in the cal endar and bond issues have been ex- tolled with highest praise. The pub lie has just been awakened from their dream of security by the arrest in many cities of the Union of a ring of bond and securities grafters that make the South Sea bubble look like an or dinary crap game. So far the federal agents have brought to light nearly 100000 in stolen, kited and fraud ulent securities, the greatest amounts being in bonds. It is expected that the disclosure will run the operations of the swindles close to half billion dollars. Safety vaults that have been opened disclose the widespread oper- ations of the ring, the institution ap- parently being clearing house for bond thieves, check kiting, fraudulent securities and worthless notes. It is possible that the big hauls of bonds in recent train and mail robberies were put through the ring. Had the federal authorities gotten on the trail of the ring big banks would have been taken over and the activities of the gang spread to centers that would have created havoc with the real bus mess of the country. The arrest of these men have created more distrust of the big bond houses of the country than could have been created by the small fry mining promoters in thou sand years. It has shown that invest ments, whether in real estate, bonds, mining securities, or even government bonds must be closely scrutinized be- fore paying cash for them, even though they come through reliable sources.

CUPID TAKES A HAND
 AT THE GOLD CHAIN

Cupid flew in through the kitchen door of the Gold Chain cookhouse and did his worst, with the result that Charles (Blackie) Bowman and Cora Peterson travelled in to see Justice of the Peace Sam Miller last Tuesday night and became united for better or for worse.
 MT. Bowman is employed at the Gold Chain mine and the bride is the cook at the mine.
 We have heard good reports about the cooking at the Gold Chain mine before.

Success of Katherine And Gold Chain Insures Future
(Continued From Page 1)

camp. It is the policy of the manage ment however, to develop the mine without recourse to the leasing plan and to break the ore to an average of $14 ton for milling purposes.
 Geographically, the Katherine mine is located in the center of the Kath- crime district, which, in turn, is To- cated in Union Pass about 35 miles from Kingman. The Katherine vein know a sthe mother lode of the dis trict-is true Assure encased in hard feldspathic granite-porphyry walls. Geologically these conditions indicate the continuation of vein and values to a great depth. The course of the vein is approximately southwest-northeast. It is intersected by numerous east west bearing veins which appear to be quite as we'll mineralized. The ore Is a quartz replacement of calcite and is free milling. Figures compiled by the Katherine management place the min ing and milling cost of the ore at $5 to $6 ton.
 Approximately three miles north east of the Katherine mine an east west vein 46 feet wide was recently opened in the Gold Chain mine. About three miles southwest of the Katherine mine, in the newly-established camp of Tristate, Nevada, located on the west bank of the Colorado river, the continuation of the Katherine vein is showing 16 feet of ore in the Nevada Katherine property. On the adjoin- ing Prince property an east-west bearing vein carries ore having a value as high as $150 gold ton. The presence of pay ore in the east-west veins demonstrates that the Katherine district is not a one mine camp. Fur ther proof of this is supplied by the presence of pay ore in the Roadside, Thumb Butte, Frisco and Sheep Trail mines, and by the discovery of free gold in the veins opened of late on the Adams and Sunbeam properties-all of which are located on veins parallel ing or intersecting the Katherine vein.
 The Gold Chain ore corresponds closely in value with the Katherine ore. A drift is now being extended to the east in the foot-wall of the Gold Chain vein at depth of 100 feet in the direction of the Comstock Con- solidated or Curtin-Mahoney property. Crosscuts are to be driven through the vein at 1OO-foot intervals. This work is to be followed by the sinking of the shaft to a depth of 200 feet, where a level will be established and the vein again crosscut and developed. Com- petent mining men-superintendents, engineers and the likd-who have in- spected the Gold Chain mine believe it has an ore-yielding future equal to that of the bonanza Katherine mine.

 Plans for improvement of the Home were also announced by Gov. Bone today These include rear rangement of the heating system. the present system having been con d, mncd as source Of much waste which has greatly increased the cost of the Home.
 Tn the installation of new sys- tenn the Trustees desire to make the change so as to disturb as little as possible the piping and radiation now in use. Plans and specifications will be in the hands of (. o. Lindsey, Superintendent of Construction at Sitka, and may be inspected at that place In order to make an intelll- gent bid on the proposed work, it is said that 1t will be necessary for p:oe pcctive bidders to go to Sitkl # their own expense and familiar ize themselves with the present heat ing arrangement. The institution is at present heated from central plant with d 50 horsepower ke- vance boiler It is desired to cut off some of the buildings entirely, install a Pacific boiler of a special size under the main buildings and install another small one under the residence of the Superintendent of the Home.
 Further information, it is said, can be obtained from Lockie Mac Kinnon. Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, or from Mir Lindsey, at Sitka
 Mr. Mackinnon, who early this week returned from an inspection trip of the home said that there was little complaint to be found among those in the home, and that the in stitution was a splendid one. Some changes, are contemplated, however, Mr. MacKinnon said, in the manner of conducting the place which he thinks will make those there more and save considerable money for the Territory.
