RESULTS OF THE PRIMARY
The results of the state primary election yesterday caused no
surprise among those who have watched the trend of events. To
them the nomination of former Governor Oddie on the Republican
ticket and the re-nomination of Congressman Evans on the Demo
cratic ticket for representative was in line with that trend and on
their respective tickets on election they will both prove strong can
didates. The nomination of 5am b. Arentz tor congressman on
the Republican ticket was also conceded. With McNeil in the
running he had r.ot strong oppositoin to overcome.
Locally the Democrats put up a strong ticket, though it fol
lowed a determined fight and has left a few sores, but it will be
elected from top to bottom in the November election if the Demo
crats bury their differences and stand together.

We can re-medy this pain-ful state of af-fairs by put-ting
the Sen-ate a-stride of the Pres-i-dent and rubbing his nose in the
dust.
Does the country want any more Pres-i-dents who are too
strong t
No. The country wants a good, weak Pres-i-dent.
Does the country need a Pres-i-dent who knows what he wants!
No. The country needs a Pres-i-dent who will find out from
Lodge and Pen-rose what he wants.
Must the Sen-ate take orders from the Pres-i-dent?
No. That is autocracy.
Must the Pres-i-dent take orders from the Sen-ate?
Yes. That is normalcy. New York Evening Post.

TO NEVADA MINING MEN:
HILLS
Follow me into Broken Hills, Nevada's new silver mining prodigy. Do it now, TODAY.
I believe Broken Hills to be another Tonopah and to embrace all of the possibilities of Tonopah and
Goldfield combined.
Broken Hills is probably the biggest mining discovery which has been made in the battle-born state
since the birth of the Comstock.
The already proved high-grade ore rone of the Broken Hills district is fully two miles long and a mile
wide.
In one sector.surface trenches and shafts have proved a compact area, ONE THOUSAND FEET WIDE,
to be mineralized all the way. These trenches have not been run on the strike of the ore occurrences but
ACROSS them.
Think what this means and marvel
In the main Broken Hills property the "discovery" mine more than four hundred (400) tons of
ore, "high-graded" by two prospectors at shallow levels from a strong vein, nine feet wide in places, have
averaged better than 130 ounces of silver per ton, as settled for in cash by the Western Ore Purchasing
Company. A late shipment of 30 tons averaged 233 ounces of silver per ton.
The Sulphide zone in the mine was reached at depth of 130 feet. In the north drift on the 150-foot level,
a sample ACROSS NINE FEET of the vein, taken at two points, gave returns of $17.60 a ton and $24 a ton
in silver, respectively.
Nine feet of silver-sulphide ore averaging from $17.60 a ton to $24 a ton is a REAL mine in any man's
country.
Since these disclosures, the property, under aggressive development by the Broken Hills Silver Corpor
ation, has wrought one sensation after another.
At 12 feet below the 150-foot level in the main shaft, 2 feet of the vein along the hanging wall sec
tion all that was accessible the vein dipping out of the shaft there assayed $47.60 in silver a ton.
At a depth of 175 feet in the main shaft where the vein continued to dip out of the shaft a sample
across 2 feet of the exposed part of the hangingwall section of the vein, officially taken by A. P. Thomp
son, consulting geologist and engineer, gave returns of $110.84 per ton. The ore content is 89.60 ounces sil
ver and 11.80 per cent lead per ton. At a depth of 193 feet in the main shaft, the vein has just been
crosscut and is found to be NINE FEET WIDE.
Now, this bonanza vein has been proved over a horizontal length of fully 600 feet by shafts and other
underground workings, and for an additional 1,300 feet by surface trenches.
There are 25 miners now engaged in opening it up. Present plans call tor 40 to 50 miners within the
next 30 days, in a concentrated effort to obtain depth in the main shaft and to prove the orebody at depth
on the strike of the vein, north and south.
Search the annals of Far Western Mining History and match the speculative possibilities of this ore
body, if you can.
According to the Engineering and Mining Journal of New York, F. C. Sehrader, of the United States
Geological Survay, who early in June examined the showing down to the 150-foot level, expressed the opin
ion that the indications at that depth were VERY FAVORABLE.
That's strong language for Mr. Sehrader to use in the early period of any mine's development.
Governor Emmet D. Boyle, who examined the mine about the same time, said over his own signature,
"It is THE BEST showing I have seen in any new territory in Nevada for many years." Nevada's Chief
Executive stands high as a mining engineer and is known to "lean baekwards" in his conservatism.
Arthur Perry Thompson, famed as an engineer of the great United Verde Copper Company, and as a
geologist of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, the Davis-Daly Copper Mining Company, the Utah
Apex Mining Company and others, stated last week officially as consulting engineer and geologist of the
Broken Hills Silver Corporation, AFTER the main shaft had reached A DEPTH OF 175 FEET, that he be
lived future developments "would be found to exceed anything yet claimed for the property."
Space does not permit iteration of the scores of enconiums which have come from the lips of experts
who have recently examined the property.
Now the main vein rich and strong as it is by no means tells the story of recent mine progress of the
Broken Hills Silver Corporation.
Five hundred feet to the EAST of the main vein, a rich cross fissure has been sunk on to a depth of J0
feet and drifted on for 200 feet. It carries high grade ore all the way, assaying from $50 per ton upward.
The ore is described by experts as the best showing of solid galena seen in years. The face of the east drift,
when -assayed- last week, gave a return of $321 per ton across ten inches. Future developments at depth in
this EASTERN section of the property are BIG WITH PROMISE.
About 5,000 feet SOUTHEAST of the main Broken Hills shaft and within 200 feet of the southermost
point of the Broken Hills group, there has been opened on an adjoining property at depth an orebody that
is reported on high authority to assay at several points in the shaft in the hundreds of dollars per ton.
Approximately a mile SOUTHWEST of the main Broken Hills shaft, a brecciated ore zone has been
opened by trenches on the surface, showing mineralization over the width of fully two mining claims a
distance of 1,200 feet. Ore assaying from $60 to $100 per ton has been obtained in "Prospecting" shafts
here.
What is the answer? Is it not that a promising new bonanza silver camp has been born, the like of
which, at so early a period in its development, has no prototype in Nevada mining history?
