ORE RESERVES ON THE NEVADA SlEaHORN PROPERTY

j. C. Weir Of Ne'O York City Discloses
New Ore Reserves Assay7ng
High in &luer

Last Monday j. c. Weir visited
the various workings of the Silver
horn property. While sitting upon
An outcrop of quartz previously con-
sidered to be barren, Mr. Weir took
samples. An assay upon which
showed 81 ounces Of silver to the
ton. This disclosure was upon a
portion Of the property which has
never been prospected, and which
was considered to be of no value
A number Of engineers proposed
reasons why this part of the prop
erty did, not carry xalues. The next
day a Systematic sampling Of the
new discovery was made and the
samples taken by Mr.. Weir and his
associates from New York. The
average of five samples AIKEN was
S7.5 ounces Of silver to the ton.

application was granted and work
has all ready commenced.
Application for funds for the re-

found that the most common silver
mineral upon the Silverhorn prop
erty twas native silver, while upon
the Silverdale property the chief
mineral was Argentite, silver
sulphide. Silver chloride was pres
ent in only small quantities in the
various samples and specimens
tested. 1t is the concensus Of
opinion that the native silver IS
secondary, while the argentite is
primary. The occurrence of the
property would indicate that the
primary ores have been encounter
ed. The existance of such high
grade primary ores as occur In the
new campnew camp is the occasion
Of considerable comment. The
opinion Of every engineer is that
the source of. the silver is deep
seated and that the ore bodies will
extend to very great depn.
While many camps in Nevaca are
fifth more or less dead on account
Of the market values of the var
ious metals, the stimulus given by
the activity of Silverhorn will be
a great benefit. Already many
stores have had their stocks much
depleted by the sudden call upon
them for supplies. Many Of the
citizens from Phoebe have gone to
. new boom camp and ahve ac-
1uired interests in the camp. The
many engineers who pass daily
through Phoebe take occasion to

new district.
Mr.. w. H. Blackburn. general
superintendent and consulting en-

the interests OF his company and
spent the best portion Of the week
upon the main properties and the

Of Mr.. Blackburn was most favor
able. Mr.. Blackburn was much In
terested In the geology Of the dis
trict and remarked upon the many
varieties of porphry and igneous
rocks which occur In the new
camp.
Work has started upon the topo-
graphic and geologic survey Of the
Silverhorn mining district. The
topography is being accomplished
under the direction Of Mr.. Henry
Pollard, who accomplished similar
work in the Oatman district, in
Arixonia.
The snowstorm which visited
this portion Of the state last week
covered the, Silverhorn district with
about four inches Of snow. The

enthusiasm kent the populace In
great spirits. As the snow melted

Topeka Household Heads Tired
of Tending Furnace.
As a Result Hundreds Are
Burning OH This Winter.
TANKS MANUFACTURED HERE
Fuel on Residence Plants Are
Becoming Popular.
Claim That Liquid Fire Is
Cheaper Than Coal Fire.

Between 200 and 500 Topekans
have declared a revolt. They refuse
to tend furnaces, shovel coal and
carry out ashes any longer. They
believe that IL is easier to turn a
valve and strike a match than to
WELD ever so wicked a shovel in the
basement. So they have installed fuel
oil burners in their furnaces.
There are several brands of oil
burners on sale in Topeka, and all OF
them are handled by local companies.
The fuel which is used-chiefly dis
tillate''-is all handled by Topeka
jobbers. and around the practice OF
using oil burners in the home furnace
there has grown up a new industry
for Topekaz-the manufacture of
welded steel fuel tanks.
The installation of fuel oil burners
for domestic use became common
during the summer Just past, with the
price OF fuel Oil low. and the labor
condition III the coal fields uncertain
Fuel oil in industry is not a new thing
the chief power plants of Topeka
develop their steam from oil burners.
and several other industries operate
Diesel engines, which burn q heavy
fuel oil instead of gasoline.
Saving I'm Money. i
But in the home they are compare
atively new. 1t is estimated by men
who have had experience in using
them, that 125 gallons Of dfstillate In
the burners is equal TO one ton of
semi-anthracite coal in heating value.
The price of the distillate is at the
present time less than ten cents q
gallon. The representatives of the oil
burners assert that there is a distinct
saving in mo1sy, in addition to the
vastly greater convenience of the oil
burner over the coal shovel. They
point out that the heat in any house
can be regulated to a fraction OF a
degree, that there is no labor OF any
sort connected with the maintenance
of the fire, and that the added clean
illness of the process is an advantage
in its favor.
The first cost of Installing a fuel
Oil burning apparatus in the average
domestic furnace is about SIS or $50,
one agent asserts.
Average Tank of 500 Gallons.
The average householder contents
himself with a fuel storage tank of
about 500 gallons capacity, tho more
than one tank of 1900 gallons ca
paclty, designed to contain a years
supply of fuel, has been installed in
Topeka.
a Topeka firm which handles the
burners and the crude oil and other
fuels which are used in them is re-
sponsible for the growth of the welded
steel tank business in Topeka. The
firm had been purchasing all its tanks
in Kansas City. Its head put up TO a
Topeka manufacturer the proposition
of installing the welding equipment
in this city. and making the tanks.
More than 100 have been manufac-
tured for Topekans alone since that
time. and the Topeka-made tanks are
now going to the oil fields of thus
state and of Oklahoma, and into in
Vulnerable homes in other parts of the
state where the domestic oil burner
are being installed.
