NEWS OF THE MINES AND OIL FIELDS
VENEZIA STAMP MILL
IN FULL OPERATION
Management of Arizona Property
Prepares for First Cleanup.
Other Mines Active
rriKSCOTT, Nov. 17.— E. L. Tomlin
son, general manager of the Venezia
gold mine, says the new mill Is In daily
operation, dropping ten stamps on
eight-hour shifts, and that production
is satisfactory. With the completion
of the new pipe line it is expected a
Sufficient flow of water for a 12-hour
shift will be secured.
The mill has been running constantly
since November 3, and the first cleanup
will he made in a few days. The ore
being treated is free milling and c
from the Venezia mine. Development
is excelling all anticipations in volume
of the product, a sufficient tonnage be
ing available to keep five stamps in
continuous operation.
In resuming work a few months pro,
\inder the old workings, the best body
of ore ever found in the mine was en
countered.
At another point R. U. Chubb Is
working under lease a section that is
yielding bounteously, sending to the
mill fe» treatment 200 tons of ore re
ceived from limited depth that will
plate not less than $30 a ton. He is
elated at the result, and yesterday in
creased his force of miners to the full
limit.
In speaking of the bonanza strike
made by Ramon Lopez and his two
associates near the camp a few weeks
ago Mr. Tomlinson says he is treating
the yield at the mill, using five stamps.
Lopez has a force of five mliners and
keeps a pack train of ten burros on
the trail steadily. No assorting is made
of the ore taken out, and that it will
plate at least $30 a ton is established.
In addition, a light concentrate Is re
covered of high grade.
Since the announcement of the dis
covery every foot of ground in a radius
of many miles has been located. In
short, liealthy conditions are every
where noticeable and so pronounced as
to create the belief that the district is
entering its most active career in many
years.
The Venezia now has one of the
most complete surface equipments in
the county, and several new bulHlngs
have recently been erected to accom
modate the force.
WINNEMUCCA MOUNTAIN
MINE SHIPS HIGH GRADE
HUMBOLDT, Nev., Nov. 17.—01 d
Winnemucca Mountain, which at one
time was one of the big producers of
the precious metals in the state, haa
again come to the front ana Is now
sending out substantial ore shipments.
This ore is not from mere prospect
holes and surface openings, but from
a property that by persistent work has
been developed into a permanent mine.
This property is the Intermountain
Metal company's holdings, on which
development work has been in prog
ress for a number of years.
The ore in question Is now being ex
tracted from a depth of 300 feet from
at least a three-foot vein, and al
though there is only a small force of
miners at work there at the present
time, yet chipping- ore is rapidly being
piled on the dump and a shipment is
now being hauled to the railroad to
be sent to the smelter at Salt Lake.
These shipments are to be made at
regular intervals.
While the ledge Is being opened at
the 300-foot level, the shaft, which
is a double compartment, in 400 feet
<leep and It will be only a short time
when ore will be extracted from this
level. From the large amount of de
velopment work that has been accom
plished on the Intermountain prop
erty and the records of ore produc
tion, from the surface workings, which
extend over 1500 feet along the strike
<if the vein to a depth of about 130
feet, it is believed this property will
be a producer for years to come.
CINTAS DE PLATA GROUP
GETS EXPERT ATTENTION
J. Henry Wood has just returned to
3.0s Angeles from a four weeks' trip
to Arizona and Mexico on mininur busi
ness. From the Clntaa de Plata group,
near Magdak-na, he shipped an experi
mental <ar of ore to the El I';iso smel
ter, with a view to determining the
value of the ore In large quantities.
Mr. Wood also visited the Cananca
properties, <>f whii li he is still acting as
judicial depositario under appointment
of the Mexican courts.
The property involved in this ap
pointment Includes the original Cobre
Grande group, which formed the basis
for the Greene Consolidated Coppei
company holdings.
When Mr. Wood first took pe-rsonal
charge of the camp the building.- con
sisted of one adobe Btore, one wooden
bunk house and office and three tents.
Cananea now has a population of over
15,000.

CAPITAL TO COME WEST
FOR MINE INVESTMENT
Party of Colorado and Tennessee
Men Will Investigate Rich
Placers of La Paz
That eastern people are looking to
the mines of the southwest for Invest
ment, a fact borne out by the stock
exchange and other financial institu
tions, again received confirmation by
O. L. Grimsley, president of the New
La Paz Gold Mining company, upon
his return yesterday from a six weeks'
trip through the eastern states in the
interest of his company. Mr. Grimsley
said that people back east were al
ways anxious to question him and get
information about the mines and pros
pects out here and that in his opinion
additional capital would be forthcom
ing this winter for the development of
the more promising properties. He
said that the latter part of November
he would meet a party of probable in
vestors from Colorado and Tennessee
and take them on a visit to his prop
erty and other properties located In the
La Paz district, east of the Colorado
river near Khernburg.
Mr. Grimsley was met in Los An
geles by his superintendent, 8. t>.
Guernsey, who had Just arrived here
from the property. Mr. Guernsey said
an earthen reservoir that was started
last summer was now completed. It
is located on a. hill near the New La
Paz placers and has a capacity of
600,000 barrels. The reservoir will be
connected with the Colorado river by a
pipo line and a gas engine will be in
stalled to raise the water. Gravity flow
from the reservoir will afford ample
pressure for modern hydraulic mining'
In the placers below.
OOAKSB OOI.U IN GRAVKI.
For some time the New La Paz peo
ple have been driving prospect shafts
over the property to bedrock. These
shafts are from eight to twenty-five
feet in depth and the average estimate
of the gold recovered went $3 a cublo
yard. All the gold was coarse and, as
Mr. Guernsey explained. It does not all
lie on bedrock but Is well mixed
through the gravel. He said no flake
gold had ever been found on the prop
erty or in the district. Several recent
strikes on bedrock went $20 and bet
tor a yard.
Mr. Grimsley said that ample capi
tal was now assured and that ma
chinery end other equipment for be
ginning active operations would be on
the ground the early part of next
While blasting for the reservoir Mr.
Guernsey says his men were attracted
by the richness of the rock and gravel
thrown down. A panning was made
of some of the ground taken from a
kind of fissure and the same rich val
ues In coarse go 1-! were found that ex
-Ist In the placer beds below.
The La Paz country is settling rap-
Idly and several new outfits have re
cently entered to work in the placers,
considered amon o - the very richest In
the west. Mr. Guernsey says the Cin
nabar company, composed of Colorado
people, began work In the placers No
vember 1; the Valleshauler outfit,
made up of Ohio people, moved in No
vember 10, with Joe Boyer as super
intendent; and "W. H. Clark of Utah,
has taken an option on a quartz prop
osition in the Alamos district "and Is
now at work.
$500 A TON ANT> BETTEW
A shaft has been sunk to a depth ot
seventy feet and the men are now
crosscuttlng. vThe vein here is a con
glomerate six to ten feet in width and
pome of the rock extracted, says Mr.
Guernsey, goes $500 a ton and better.
The trigo company is installing ft
pipe line for the purpose of developing
a rich placer property.
W E. Scott, owning a quartz prop
erty adjoining the placers of the New
La Paz company, will soon erect a ten
stamp mill. Scott is reported as hav
ing a large tonnage on the dump await
ing the completion of the stamp mill.
Beside these recent comers to the
La Paz country there nre about fifteen
other placer outfits. These are either
actively engaged or ere preparing to
begin work this winter.
Mr. Guernsey pays the country never
looked better than at present. In tha
early days, forty to sixty years ago,
nuggets were found in the La Paa
country weighing all the way from one
to ninety ounces gold. Four years ago
an enterprising banker of Tuma had
the streets of the old town of La
Paz swept and when the dust and
gravel was washed the clean-up
amounted to $7000. During the sweep
ing of the ancient town Spanish coins
were found bearing dates as far back
as 1516. The government about forty
years ago withdrew and added this
country to the Indian reservation.
From that time -ntil last winter it re
mained closed.
GOULD SMELTER ASSURED
TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 17.—After vain
ly trying most of the spring and all
summer to develop water in sufficient
(luantitlea to operate a smelter, an ade
quate supply has been secured, and the
Gould smelter project, which for
months has been out of the public Raze,
has now become a certainty, according
to Charles E. Hutchinson, auditor for
the Wells-Fargo company, who is in
terested in mining in the Globe dis
trict.
The date of the arrival of the smelter
machinery Is uncertain, he stated, in
asmuch as that depends upon the Colo
rado Iron Works company, which is to
furnish It.
However, transportation facilities
have been secured for hauling the
smelter parts to the property by means
of a traction engine, which will also be
used for ore hauling when the smelter
Is in operation.
PIOCHE OUT OF DEBT
"With the final payment being made
of the original purchase price of $470,
--000, the Ploche Consolidated Mining
and Reduction company of Pioche,
Nev., winds up Us business and passes
Into history, and in its place looms up
big and promising the Consolidated
Pioche Mines company, taking In not
only the old Pioche Consolidated, but
much of tho Ohio-Kentucky and the
Nevada-Utah's most productive terri
tory.

ROMANCE ENTERS
SEARCH FOR DUNN
Young Girl Only Person In Buffalo
Home from Which Appeal
for Help Was Sent
'DYING MAN' SEEMS A, MYTH
Story of Nurse Who Won Back
Health for Man in Tucson
Enters Case
Romance and mystery have entered
the search for "Billie" Dunn, wanted
in Buffalo, N. V., according to an ap
peal made to The Herald by Albert
Cameron McKinley of that city, to ease
the last hours of a dying man who Is
calling continuously for him.
An investigation in Buffalo last night
by a representative of The Herald re
vealed the fact that no one is dying
at 291 Potomac avenue, in that city.
Moreover, the only person who could
be found there was a Miss McKinley.
She said her brother's namo is Albert
McKinley, but that he was not at
home. She added that ho really want
ed "Blllie" Dunn to Join him In a
business venture in Buffalo.
The Herald was Informed yesterday
of the whereabouts of several "Blllie"
Dunns. The one who seemed best to
# flt the description given in the letter
sent to Tlie Herald is manager of the
commissary department of the South
era, Pacific at Sinaloa, Mexico. He
has been a railroad man fur years, as
was hinted by the letter writer.
Also, there is a romantic chapter
In the life of the "Blllie" Dunn of
Mexico. While desperately ill in Tuc
son, Arizona, a few years ago, he was
nursed back to health by a young wo
man of that city. In this connection
the following paragraph from the let
ter received by The Herald may be
significant:
"I can no longer stand by the bitter
crying of a dying friend who once
sped through a great peril to befriend
one when no one else cared."
• Is "Blllie" Dunn being called to
Buffalo as a sequel to the Tucson ro
mance?
The Herald received the following
dispatch from Buffalo last night:
"BUFFALO, Nov. 17.—N0 informa
tion could be extracted from Miss Mc-
Kinley at 291 Potomac avenue anent
the desire of her brother, who was
not to b« seen, to have 'Blllie' Dunn
return to Buffalo. She admitted no
one was dying and finally said that
her brother wanted him back to enter
business with him. The girl said her
brother was not In town now. She
said she knew nothing of Dunn's fam
ily."

JEWS AND CHRISTIANS
TO WORSHIP TOGETHER
Synagogue Will Unite with Unita
rians and Universalists
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Three con
gregations of Jews and Christians
here will, this winter, unite In a re
ligious service. The Free Synagogue,
of which the Rev. Dr. Stephen 8. Wise
Is rabbi; the Unitarian church of the
Messiah, of which the Rev. John H.
Holmes Is ministor, and tho Univers
allst church of the Divine Paternity,
of which the Rev. Dr. Frank O. Hall
Is pastor, will begin next Sunday night
to hold union services each Sunday
evening of the winter.
From now until January 1 the serv
ices will be held In the Church of the
Divine Paternity. During January
they will be In the Church of the
Messiah. After that the meetings will
be under the auspices of the Jewish
congregation. The three pastors, hav
ing completed details and agreed on a
platform, feel they have taken a big
step to help church unity.
The idea of the.meetings is to inter
pret broadly the social relations of
religion, and to show that Jews and
Christians can worship together. The
clergymen will preach only occasion
ally, the speakers generally being well
known social reformers and phil
anthropists, chosen irrespective of race
or .proed. The speaker next Sunday
will be Judge B. F. Lindsay of Denver.
GOVERNOR OF COLORADO
VETOES REGISTRATION ACT
DENVER, Nov. 17.—Declaring the
measure contained provisions that
i would mako easy fraudulent reglstra-
I tion and make difficult the purging of
j the lists of such registration, Governor
I John F. Shal'roth late yesterday vetoed
the registration bill passed at the re
cent special session of the legislature.
The vetoed measure was supplementary
to the primary bill passed by the lcgla
: lature shortly after the special session.
The measure was fiercely attacked
1 because of the provisions allowing one
! voter to register any number of other
voters at the same address without the
signatures of the voters so registered,
and making necessary a deposit of $1.50
for every name challenged.
The vetoing of the bill will not inter-
I fere with the primary law, as tho latter
measure does not become effective until
September, 1912, and two sessions of
ttie legislature will be held before that
time.

CONTINENTAL SALES COMPANY OF NEW YORK
110 WEST THIRD STREET. BETWEEN SPUING AND MAIN. OPEN SATURDAY
LONG BEACH HARBOR NOT
FAVORED BY ENGINEERS
Fine Facilities at Los Angeles Is
Given as Reason for Adverse
Report on the Project
An adverse report on Long Beach
harbor has been made by the board of
engineers for rivers and harbors, fol
lowing a preliminary examination oC
the harbor, according to a letter sent
out last night by W. P. Stokey, acting
United States engineer here. It Is stat
ed that there It no need of another
harbor within four miles of Los An
geles harbor, and that the possibili
ties of the latter practically are un
limited. The reasons given for the ad
verse report follow.
Long Bench harbor Is an artifi
cial waterway as yet but partially
completed, being constructed at
private or corporate expense aa a
part of a commercial enterprise
and land development scheme. The
project Is us yet apparently in its
infancy. No watorborne commerce
lias been created and none 1b pos
sible under existing conditions.
The general govornment has for
years been engaged in the construo
tion of a deep water port at Los
Angeles harbor, but four miles dis
tant, and the last river and harbor
act adopted two projects involving
the expenditure of large sums for
extending the facilities, with a view
to meeting present and reasonably
prospective demands of commerce
at this locality. The area available
for extension In Los Angeles har
bor is practically unlimited. The
board does not see the necessity of
an additional port four miles from
one already established at great
expense, and it believes that re
sulting benefits to general com
merce and navigation would not
Justify tho United States in un
dertaking this work.
"I am directed by the chief of en
gineers to inform Interested parties
of the viev.-s of the board and to no
tify them that they may submit to
the board information and data bear
ing on this project. Written commun
ications should .be addressed to tho
board of engineers for 'rivers and har
bors, rooms 607-510 Colorado building,
Washngiton, D. C, and should ba
mailed in time to be In the possession
of the said board within three weeks
from the date of this communication.
If oral hearings are desired, dates for
the same may be arranged for by cor
respondence with the board.
"The board has before It communica
tions from the Craig Shipbuilding com
pany, Long- Beach chamber of com
merce, and the mayor of Long Beach,
which were forwarded with report. In
formation in addition to that contained
In these communications is desired."
