WINDFALL MINE MAKING
WONDERFUL SHOWING
Property Now Stands Proven As
One of the Big Mines
of the State
J. J. Jones, managing director of tbe
Eareka-Windfall Mining Company, ar
rived here from Qoldfleld Monday, and
spent Tuesday and Wednesday making
inspection of the oompany'a property.
In speaking of the reoent development
in the Windfall mine Mr. Jones on
Wedneaday evening said:
"The development of the property
the past 30 days has been of a truly en
couraging nature. On the 130 foot level,
where Superintendent Weld man bar
done about 420 feet of lateral work,
about 80,000 tons of ore has been dis
closed, whioh samples about one
onnoe in gold per ton. This body of
ore is in the north drift aod crosscut.
When one stops to oonsider the im
mensity of these figures they are stag
gering. la the south drift and crosscut
on tbe same level two splendid bodies of
high grade milling ore have been opened
np, each averaging better than seven
feet in width.
"On the eeoond, or 225 foot level, de
velopment hat demonstrated that the
ore shoots are oontinning to gain in
strength and richness with depth, and
tbe big ore shoot which has developed
so extensively on the 130 foot level is
oomlog into tbe shaft at a depth of 248
feet. At this depth tbe shaft to-day
cnt into 18 inches of very high grads
shipping ore, and a large body of the al
tered sands characteristic of the milling
ore of the property.
"Tbe property now stands proven as
one of the big mines of the State, and
with the completion of the big cyanide
plant, upon which work is being rnshed
by the Seeding Construction Company,
who are acting for the Rnreka-Wind
fall Compauy as superintendents of con
struction, it is expected that the out
put from the Windfall property will be
very satisfactory to Its owners.”
Mr. Jones states that in his opinion,
takiug everything into consideration,
the Enreka-Windfall Company has per
haps performed more aggressive devel
opment work than any other mining
compauy in tbe State of Nevada,
Declared i Legal Holiday
Governor Dickerson, in oonformanne
to the general movement thonghont tbe
United States, issued a proclamation
this week in recognition of tbe cent u
ary of the birth of Abraham Llnooln,
declaring Friday, February 12, a legal
holiday in Nevada. In Eareka the
holiday was observed by the closing of
the different county ( Aloes, the public
school and ths Eureka County Bank.
Mr. Paice's Condition Much Improved
The condition of L. J. Paioe, who
met with an accident while ooaitlng on
Clark street hill on the night of Jan
nary 29, when his right lag was broken
between the knee and ankle, is greatly
improved. The injured limb has now
been plaoed in a plaster cast and the
patient has almost regained hia normal
oondition. It is espeoted that in a
few weeks he will be able t? be aroond
by the aid of crutohea.

Nothing Like It Here
A paper in a Western town reoently
published this itemt "The business
man of this town who is In the habit of
hngging hia typewriter had better quit

nest day 87 business men called at the
ofBoe, paid up their subscriptions, and
left behind them 87 oolumns of adver
tising, and told the editor not to pay
any attention to foolish stories.
Stormy Weatlur Continues
High windi have continued to prevail
in thie eeotion daring the week, and
about a foot of new enow hae fallen.
While the oonditione here are anything
bat pleaeant, we are really having pio

Free Assays Mad*
Under “New To-Day" appears an ad
vertisement which will be of great in
terest to the mine operators in this dis
trict. R. H. Looks has closed a con
tract with the American Smelting A
Refining Company of Salt Lake City
whereby shippers to that company from
this and neighboring districts may have
samples assayed free of charge. This
applies to mine owners sod leasers who
are customers, or who wish to beoome
customers, of the American Smelting
A Refining Company. Leasers and
mine owners, in taking advantage of
this oonrtesy of the American Smelting
A Refining Company, should be able to
develop their leases and mines in far
better form than they have ever done
before. As we all know, assaying oosta
money, and the leaser and small mine
owner does not always feel able to have
all the assaying done which he wishes.
Now that provision has been made
whereby these samples may be assayed
free of oharge, the leasing business, at
least in this and neighboring districts,
should reoeiv* quite a stimulus.

ASSEMBLYMAN C. H. OUBORG
One of Eureka County’s Members
In the Legislature Is Given
Commendable Write-Up
The Reno Gazette each day since the

member of the Nevada Senate or As
sembly, In its issue of February 6 it
has a good pioture by Buel of Assembly
man C. H. Dnborg, one of the members
representing Enreka County in the
Lower House, which is accompanied by
the following pen-pioture of the life
and achievements of that gentleman :
One of the wheel horses of the Re
publican minority in the present As
sembly is O. H. Dnborg. One of the
energetic members of the Ways and
Means Committee, he is always looked
to for advice by members of both par
ties ou qnestions affecting the welfare
and lluauoes of Nevada. On more than
one occasion daring the present session
he has distinguished himself in such a
manner that he is again called the
watoh dog of the treasury—as title con
ferred upon him two years ago.
This is bis second term as a member
of the Assembly from Eureka County.
He was re-leoted by a large vote
against one of the pioneer Democrats of
the Base Range.
Mr. Dnborg is a native of Denmark.
He was born Ootober IS, 1869. He
came to Nevada in 1889, and this State
has been his home sinoe that time. In
1901 he was married to Mias Christina
Frandsen of Reno, and they now have

ent time are attracting State wide at
tention in that tbey promise to beoome
the richest in Nevada.
Mr. Daborg has always taken a keen
interest in politics, not for personal

ment of Enreka, Elko and Lander
Ooan ties.

State Treasurer Ryan Suspended Free
Superinteodency of Comstock Minos
The directors of the Sierra Nevada
Union Consolidated and Mexican mines
three Comstock properties, after oallini
for the resignation of D. M. Ryan
superintendent, are investigating hit
acts while he held that position. It it
mid that there has been an awfnl ttrifi
among the officials of the companies.
Ryan, besides his position as superin
tendent of three of the most ralnabU
properties in the Comstock district, it
State Treasurer of Nevada, chairman
of the Board of Directors of ths
Orphans' Home, and occupies many
other positions of honor and trust. Hii
prominence only serve* to lend zest tc
the speculations regarding the result* ol
the Investigation that is said to have
been instigated by E. B. Stnrgee, one
of the principal owners of the prop
erties.
Ae soon as the resignation of Ryan
had been obtained the directors elected
Whitman Symmn as superintendent of
the Mexican and T. F. McCormick as
■nperintendent of the Sierra Nevada
and the Union Consolidated, Stnrgee,
it ie said, insisting on these appoint
ments.
Stnrgee acquired a large working in
terest in the three properties abont a
year ago and more recently obtained
control of the Belcher, Crown Point
and Yellow Jacket mines, in the same
district. He is a wealthy New Yorker
and the big row seems to revolve abont
him and Ryan.
Ryan, who is at present in Virginia
City, said to a Chronicle correspondent
Tuesday night that he and the secre
tary, Kauffman Kohn, bad been eus
pened pending an investigation. He
added that an inflammatory letter had
been lent to San Francisco and that it
contained matters abont which only
himself and Kohn were supposed to
posies* knowledge. He said the sne
pension was due to the letter and wns
only temporary while the matter war
under investigation. He denied that
bis coconuts had been questioned or
would be investigated. The contents
of the letter he refused to divulge.
Windfall Shipping High Grade
The Eureka-Windfall Mining Com
pany made a shipment this week of
1000 sacks of high grade smelting ore
running about 9125 per ton to the Amer
ican Smelting & Refining Company at
Murray, Utah. This high grade was
such as was encountered in runuingthe
drifts and crosscuts by Superintendent
Weidman to block out the large bodies
of ore with which it is intended to feed
the big mill, no effort being made by the
superintendent to drift or stops upon
the Assures of high grade ore cutting
the mineralised sands.
