Special to The Herald.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 14.— A com

manageable and many a . pall of milk
was spoiled by the otherwise peaceful
bossies. Horses and sheep fled In ter

The hysteric screeches made rural
doctors run from the supper table, They

to - the railway station in anticipation
of a fatal wreck. , ,

CHARGE COAST DISCRIMINATION
North Carolina Furniture Shippers
Allege Rate Unfairness
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.— A complaint
has been made to the interstate com
merce commission by the North Caro
lina Case Workers' association, whose
membership consists of firms engaged
in the manufacture and sale of furni
ture, against many lines of railroads
in the west and northwest because of
alleged unjust and discriminatory
charges for the transportation of furni
ture, especially from High Point, N. C,
and Danville, Va., to Pacific coast
points.
The complainants declare that the
railroads charge them $1.70 per 100
pounds to carry furniture from the
North Carolina territory to Pacific
coast points, and insist upon a mint
mum carload weight of 20,000 pounds,
whereas they claim to be able to put
into a car only 12,000 pounds of furni
ture.
They Insist, therefore, that the rates
are unreasonable and ask the commis
sion to Issue an order requiring the rail
roads to limit 36-foot "carload lots of
furniture to 12,000 pounds.

GREAT WEALTH IN
GOLD AND COPPER
STUDY OF FAMOUS MOTHER LODE
Latest Developments Around Searchlight Promise
Still Greater .Results — Gold Strike at Duluth.
Diamonds Near Oroville and San Diego.
Nuggets of News From the Mines
Scientific Investigators who ( are
watching the present vast operations
In the mining: camps of Nevada claim
to have convincing evidence that the
mineral deposits extending from Vir
ginia City on the north to Searchlight,
on the south are a part of a single
great mineralized zone. They compare
the formation to a river with Its tribu
taries or the arterial system of the body
with Its offshoots forming somewhat
into the shape of the backbone of a
fish. The center or spinal column of
the mineral structure of Nevada seems
to be a tremendous fissure, the course
of which has been determined' by the
lines of least resistance in the crust of
the earth. At some time, aeons ago,
these scientists say, there were thrust
up from the interior of the earth by
volcanic action and pressure certain
mineralized formations which have
since formed Into one enormous lode
with many arms or branches.
Trend of Mother Lode
Commencing at the Comstock lode on
the north, and extending to Search
light, the veins have 'the same general
direction and dip, and the difference In
the character of the ore is as easily ac
counted for -by the varying conditions
which surrounded Its deposit, as It is
safe to attribute the zig-zag trend of
the mother lode. to the displacements
that' have occurred In the past through
earthquakes and volcanic action. A
map of the mother lode of Nevade
shows that it is richest at Its extremi
ties, the Couistock forming the north
end, with (%ldfleld and Tonopah as
close neighbors, and Searchlight with
the nearby copper mines of Clma,' Cal
ifornia, at the southern end. . .
, So definitely can this main fissure
be traced through Neyada that a bird's'
eye view taken from ■■ a balloon would
reveal a series of mining camps, ex
tending for a distance of nearly 400
miles, which include every great pro
ducing district In the state. This chain
of producers has up to date given the
world over $250,000,000 In gold and sil
ver principally. -,and. to this, may be
added $50,000,000 produced by the cop
per camps within the past few years.
Strange but true la. the fact that In
the vicinity of great atold bearing re
gion* in Nevada there are ulwuyti round
Immense copper deposits, and this pre
cedent.ha> been established by the.ex
istence of the Kly district on the north
near Tonopah, and -the Greenwater,
Furnace creek and Cima district on the
south near Searchlight.
In the latter camp It was long ago
demonstrated that Searchlight would
eventually become a- great producer of
the red metal, for not only are the
lower levels of the Quartette mine now
'producing high grade copper ore, but
it is a fact that 90 per cent of the
veins that crop in this district are
heavily stained with the same metal.
These Indications on the surface werei
evidently placed there through the
squeezing of the deposits at great
depth during the time of prehistoric vol
canic action. . In other words ' these
stains were deposited by gases that es
caped from the ore bearing fissures
during periods of displacements.
Sensational Gold Strike
Information of one of the richest
strikes ever scored In America comes
from Reno, the discovery having been
made at Duluth, Nevada, ore assaying
$7862 to the ton being shown.
' Duluth Is situated about twelve
miles north of ■ Lodl, and twenty-flve
miles northwest of Ooldyke In -the
Paradise mountains, and the original
discovery of the fabulously rich rock
was made several months ago by W.
11. Bills and Dave Fife, prospectors
from Blsbee. A. T. The matter was
kept as quiet as possible by those in
terested., but the facts leaked out and
swarms of miners rushed In from
Goldfleld, ' Tonopah and other camps
and located numerous claims in the
ric:i belt.
The pay streak on the original dis
covery from which the phenomenal
assay was made la about three Inches
wide and is opened for a distance of
175 feet. A body of free milling ore,
four feet wide and averaging $435 has
also been opened up on another claim
owned by the Arizona men.
Fifty tons of ore have been sacked
and i are now waiting to be Bhipped
to the railroad, and will average more
than $400 to ' the ton. , Free gold is
found In' tin* iWmt which covers' sev
eral of the claims. .'' * , \ .. >
B'-ce ' the strike another .party
named Kramer opened . up a rich ledge
about two miles from the original .dis
covery,', ami a number of Tonopali '. and
Manhattan operators have got into the
new; district and located considerable
ground and are developing their bold*
ings. At - present the camp has about
100 Inhabitants and more coming In at
the rate of twenty-flve a day. Water
Is scarce . and has to be hauled from
Ellsworth, ten miles away, but sinking
has been begun by the townslte com
pany and I it expects to have a good
supply within a short time.
Gift of $60,000
Frank Nevel, better known In the
Ollnghouse mining country as "Smoky"
Neyel, has handed to "Warren T. Oold.
Ing, a Wadsworth miner, 'a check for
{60,000 in return for kindnesses which
Golding extended him a number of
years ago when he was "broke." • Nevel
mined with Goldlng with poor success,
and as Golding had a small Income,
as constable he staked Nevel when the
latter ventured Into Tonopah: In- the
southern. ' country' Nevel made several
locations .which have turned out. rich
and when he arrived In Wadsworth a
few days ago: he brought with him
deposit checks to the amount of $370,000,
derived from the Bale of his claims.
Goldlng was still mining In the Oling
house.. country with moderate success
when the present came to him.
Great Mining Congress
It In proposed by the International
Mining Kxpositlon company of . Chi
cago to organize a great mining- fair
to be held In New York early in . 1908.
The purposes of the organizers are
to place before eastern Investors a
great object leseon.'- whereby they may
become • more familiar than : - would
otherwise be possible with mining and
'metallurgical processes, and the great
opportunities for profit which the le
gitimate industry so freely offers.
The management proposes to • make
mining machinery a. feature of the ex
position: and in order that It may be
attractively ihown, power will be pro
vided so that machinery may be seen
In operation.
Such an exposition would be entirely
novel in New York, and could be made
extremely telling. Its success must
depend largely upon the degree of sup
port accorded by. the mining Interests
of the west. - . . . tr»
Rumors of Diamond Mines
