SILVER KING
BUYS ANOTHER
RICH PROPERTY
Will Develop HOmestake Mine
Situated Twenty-Seven
Miles From Reno

The Silver King Divide Mining
company has taken over the Home
stake mine in Washoe county, located
q miles northwest Of Reno, and (
comprehensive campaign of develop
ment will shorty be under way. The
Homestake is an old producer and
was located in 1878 and Is credited
with a production of $S50OOO, but
for many years has lain dormant
pending settlement of the Griffith
estate.
The property has been developed
in the past by what is known as the
upper tunnel that has a length OF
$50 feet, and considerable shipping
ore is in sight. The lower tunne
has been driven for 60 feet on the
vein and commercial ore is showing
nearly for 60 feet on the vein, while
an Old shaft has a depth of IT'S feet
with plenty Of shipping ore blocked
Work by the Silver King Divide has
already been inaugurated with L. T
Brockbank serving as resident super.
intendent.
The Silver King Divide Mining
company is differed by men promi
nent in financial and mining circes
as follows: Jacob Berger of Seattle
president; R. L. Colburn, well.known
broker of San Francisco, vice presi
dent; w. T. Mcpherson of San Fran
cisco, secretary and treasurer, and
Gust Hanson, prominent mining man
Of Tonopah, genera, manager.
Mr.. Hanson stated this morning
that the company would be provided
for in a financial way in a liberal
manner, and that it was Planned tc
carry forward large development with
a view of placing the property upon
a selfsupporting and dividend-paying
basis in as short a time as possible

CINNABAR Mine
NOT OPTIONED
TO ANY PARTY
Story Appearing in Discredited
Sheet Wholly Without Any
Foundation Whatever

The story published in the moon
shine sheet that the property of the
Nina Mercury company had been
optioned to Jamestown, Calf, capt.
talists Is without one scinilla OF
truth. In fact, the property, which
is conceded to be the greatest and
richest deposit OF cinnabar on the
Pacific coast cannot and will not be
optioned, although it is for sale, and
first come first served.
The story recently published in
the moonshine sheet is on parity
with all other items that appear in
that publication, made purely out Of
whole cloth, and it is little wonder
that the people have ceased to give
credence to its wailings.
The Nina Mercury company con-
trolls a wonderful cinnabar deposit
and a substantial production has been
made-truly wonderful when one con-
slders the amount of development
that has been performed. There are
four lenses on the property that
have never been prospected, and
engineers predict that in time 1t will
become recognized as one of the
worlds greatest cinnabar mines. 1t
is owned by w. W. Booth, editor Of
he Bonanza, who is the heaviest
stcokholder; AL Revert of San Diego,
Henry Seitz and Ralph Wardle of
Tonopah and Al Wardle of Ogden.
Mining men throughout the country,
both east and west, are being at
tracted to this property, which car
ries values OF from to 25 per cent
quicksilver, while the retorts have
averaged from 8 and 10 rer cent.
All 3 per cent ore is being placed
on the waste dump for furnace Of
25 or SO tons capacity. There are
hundreds of tons of this and per
cent ore now available. The Nina
Mercury company surely has the
wonder cinnabar deposit today on
the entire Pacific slope.

BEN HUR EXT.
BUYS PROPERTY
At RANDSBURG
Blue Bell Claim Is Taken Over
and Orders for Equipment
Have Been Placed

Another Tonopah mining company
has entered the Randsburg district
and a big campaign Of development
Is promised for the property, which
has been taken over by purchase.
With the return last night of R. J.,
Kelly and Albert Ktlly from Cali.
fornia's sensational mining camp,
announcement was made thai the
Blue Bel claim, one OF the most
promising properties in that section
and lying within the very heart OF
the proven mineral zone, had been
purchased and that orders had been
placed for a modern electrical plant
Of machinery which will be Installed
Immediately,
The Blue Bell lies within 1900 feet
Of the Ben Hur property and adjoins
the Baltic, both of which have been
'eve,oped to the shipping stage, and
two distinct lodges have been ex-
posed that pan freely of gold, both
at the surface and from prospect
holes that have been sunk from IL
to IA feet. 1t is proposed to start
work Immediately in the sinking Of
a shaft, and within comparatively
short time a we'll defined campaign
of development will be under way.
The Ben Hur Extension Mining
company was originally a Divide
corporation. Although listed on the
San Francisco stock exchange, very
little stock was issued, with the
result that the company is practically
intact. 1t is differed practically by
the same men who are directing the
affairs of the Ben Hur Mining COM

MANHATTAN IS
BEGINNING TO
SHOW ACTIVITY
Gold Camp Staging Comeback
OF Sensational Nature That
Promises Big Results

Reports from Manhattan are to the
effect that the gold camp OF Nye
county is thriving and that there IS
much activity in evidence. The White
Caps Mining company is prosecuting
a big campaign OF development with
the result that q heavy production
of bullion is being made at the big
mill. A force OF 60 men is being
employed IN the mine and mill, and
the seml-monthly shipment OF gold
will be made within the next two or
three days, the bullion bar being
brought to Tonopah and deposited in
the Nevada First National bank Of
Tonopah, pending shipment to the
mint.
The Putney placers will soon be
producing and mining operations on
a broad scale will be in order about
Nov. /. In the meantime the task
lf installing the power line that will
have a length OF nearly TWO and one
half miles is being rushed, to make
connection with the Manhattan-Round
Mountain high tension line. Develop
ment of the placer ground has been
in order for the last several months,
and once actual p.acering Is started,
it is expected that work can be car
ried forward without interruption
throughout the winter months.
Construction work on the new 80
ION mill for the Manhattan Consoli'
dated company is to be rushed and
1t is probable that the plant VIII be
ready to begin ore treatment within
the next 30 days. 1t Is estimated
that the available ore reserves on
his property exceed $1,OOO.OOO' and
considering that the mill is being
planned with a view OF equipping 1t
especially for the treatment OF ore
from the property, it would seem
that the company has bright out
look from a production standpoint

of the camp and many are reported
as doing exceptionally well. Owners

Reno, New, Oct, 20, 1922.

Reno, New, Oct. ~, 1Sz2.
Hon. William Mcknight, Chairman,
Democratic State Central Committee,
Reno, New.
Dear Sir: Your refusal to accept
our challenge to debate through the
columns of the press the administra.
ton of state affairs by your party
convinces us that you are unwilling
to lay your record in writing, before
the people of Nevada. 1t is evident
that you fear to meet the issue before
the people of all the state in q full,
complete and straightforward manner
and submit your case to them.
In your original challenge you pro-
posed a debate in one hall in one
city. We demanded in our reply that
the whole state be included in the
audience. We insisted that the dis
cussion be carried on through the
press of the state, so that all might
learn the facts
We challenged you to record your
defense in black and white upon 'he
printed page. In our opening state
ment we charged that the cost Of
Nevada's government had increased
l22 per cent in eight years, and that
unwarranted extravaganza prevailed
at Carson City, Our figures are
based upon official state reports,
made by state officials, and are Of
record Tn date you have not met
the charge,
You say that you are willing to
proclaim your case orally, but you
decline to submit it in writing for
the careful examination of the tax
payers. An oral presentation of such
a maze of figures in other cities
would be no more effective than here.
You know very we'll thet the sta
tlstlcs of state government, covering
period OF II years or more, cannot
be retained or compared by any audi.
ence, even If composed OF expert
accountants, when submitted orally
You also know that 1t would be ex.
ceedingly dangerous for you to com.
NIT your statistics TO writing and
lay them before the people.
In our opinion you never desired
10 debate this issue,
You give us to understand that a
debate upon the facts, through the
press, woud interfere with your pub
licIty campaign. We, and likewise
the people of Nevada, must then
logically conclude that you do not
intend to deal with the facts, nor
present them as revealed by the off
cial repors of the state, in your pub
licity campaign.
Our challenge still stands. II you
are willing to have the record Of
your office-seekers exposed to the
public view you will accept It, II
you fail, you stand convicted Of the
charges which We have publicly made
Failing to have your acceptance of
the original offer, we will proceed
with the exposure of your party's
record, and will give no further at
tention to your communications.
Prepare to defend yourselves before
an overtaxed people.
Very truly yours,

Republican State Central Committee
