N unexpected contest for the po- sition of department commander Army of the Repub lic has developed recently. There are now two candidates in the field—Major General W. R. Shafter, U. 8 A., retired, and Colonel A. D. Cutler, commander of the George H. Thomas Post. Both aspirants were dclegates to the national encampment at Washington, D. C., and were active in presenting the | claim of San Francisco for the hoaor of | entertaining the veterans this year. The | department encampment will coavene at | Golden Gate Hall In_this city next| Wednesday forenoon. The attendance of lNDIANS LANDS WILL BE OPENED EWalker Lake Reserve | in Nevada Soon to | Be Located. Special Dispatch to The Call. | | CARSON CITY, Nev., May 9.—The Wal- ker Lake reservation, which, since the early history of Nevada, has been a spe- clal grant to the Indians, will soon be | thrown open to white population. This | tract of land abounds in mineral and ag- | ricultural resources and large parties are preparing for an exodus in its direction just as soon as President Roosevelt is- sues the proclamation declaring it open. Bome delay will be occasioned by rea- son of surveys and allotments to the In- | dians. Arrangements have been made by which the redskins will receive their share of land on which to establish homes and | provide for the future. The constant de- crease in the Indian population is the rea- son for the action In disposing of the | greater portion of the reservation and the Indians themselves are content to ac- cept the allotment which has been spe- | cified instead of occupying the Immense | area and causing great expense to the Government. Senators Stewart and Newlands, in re- plying to a communication addressed to them by interested parties, say: | “The Walker Lake reservation was 'made subject to allotment by the last | Congress. An appropriation for allot- ! ment and survey was made at the last ;mssan The reservation will not be thrown open until a survey has been ‘mlde and allotments in severalty have been made to the Indlans. The depart- ment {s just proceeding to take action in the matter. After the survey and al- lotments hfve been completed a procla- mation will be issued by the President stating the terms on which the reserva- tion will be thrown open to settlement. It will probably be six months before any- thing definite can be accomplished." ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED FOR CALEDONIAN GAMES Clans Fraser and McDonald Will At- tend in Costume, Headed by Pipers. The games committee of the Caledonian Club has completed all arrangements for the annual gathering and games to be heid at Shell Mound Park on Saturday, May 3. There are forty-two events on B o S %3 delegates from the various posts of Cal- ifornia and Nevada promises to be large. Genera! Shafter is enthusiastically sup- ported by many delegates from interior posts, as well as by comrades residing in this city. His commendable record in the great Civil War and his distinguished services as commander of the United States army In the Santiago campalgn of the late war give him prestige and strength as a candidate. Colonel Cutler's excellent record in- the | Civil War, his three terms of service as| commander of George H. Thomas P G. A. R., and his reputation as a progres- sive, public spirited man of affairs give him a strong following. TITLE T0 MINE 15 IN DISPUTE Havemeyers Have Diffi- culty Over Deal in the North. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Wash.,, May 9.—A syndicate of New York men, headed by the Have- meyers, sugar refiners, last year pur- chased the Nicolai and other copper mines in the interior of the Copper River coun- try for about $500,000. On the advice of ex- perts they contemplated butlding 200 miles of railroad from Valdes to permit the de- velopment of the property and the ship- ment of ore. The title to the property is now called into question by a lawsuit brought by the Chitna Exploration Company against R. F. McLellan and others, claiming that a prior right of title to the mines Is vested in them. Their contention is that they purchased the Nicolal mine and engaged McLellan to locate other properties. It Is alleged he did so, taking the title ! his own name and afterward selling the prop- erty to the Havemeyers. The plaintiffs in the case are bankers and capitalists of Pennsylvania, headed by John Stewart. The case will be tried before Judge Wickersham at Valdes next fall. In the meantime Attorney V. T Hoggart of Valdes has been taking depo- sitions concerning the case on Puget Sound and in California. He will now go to Minneapolis and other Eastern cities, returning north next month. Hoggart says that whichever side wins it is in- tended to construct a railroad from Valdes to the mines as speedily as pos- sible, commencing next year. B e e e s ] the programme, most of them being open to all comers and two of them are of special interest, the Irish jig and reel dancing by juvenile members of the Gae- lic League Dancing Club under the aus- plces of the Gaelic League, and the bag- pipe competition for a $250 gold medal and valuable prizes. The committee has been notified that Clan Fraser of this city’ and Clan Me- Donald of Oakland will attend the games, headed by their pipers and wearing the clan plald and bonnet. It is expected’ that more than 100 boys and girls in Highland costume will be present to compete in the Highland dancing events and they will make a pretty picture. It is the aim of the club to encourage the wearing of the national costume and every person in Highland costume or with plaid and bon- net will be admitted free @9 the grounds. | | | | | | | Ccpper Mining Company may indeed congratu- On sale grand value al Sx 50. week only, a and $1.00 qualities.

Now Rapidly Developing the Famous Cosumues Copper Mines Which Fromise to Be the Richest of Thim AllL Bright Future for Copper Industry. The ‘stockholders of the Ris Vista Gold and late themselves upon the brilliant prospects | which now confront this company. The mines have been put in order, a competent superin- tendent s now in charge with Instructions to push the work as rapidly as possible. It is the intention of the management to do as much underground work as possible. In too many instarces have valuable mines been abandoned for the reason that the owners have put three- fourths of their money in salaries. bulldings and machinery before they had their mins ready for active operations. The mines of California are good, and 90 per cent of them would pay dividends if they were properly de. veloped before the company undertakes to put in expensive machinery. In addition to the brilliant showing iIn copper ore, bearing high values in gold and silver, made by the “‘Co- sumnes’’ Copper Mine, the bed of the .river, owned by the company, Is exceedingly rich and only awaits the Installation of modern machinery to yleld millions of dollars to the company, which will be distributed M dividends to the lucky stockholders. Remember that this company’s property s not a mere prospect, showing mere copper stains on the rocks, but the “‘Cosumnes’’ Copper Mine is developed to the extent where it is recognized Ly the United States geological survey, which has given it a location and place upon their latest map of El Dorado County, which map was gotten up by the famous expert, Waldemar Lindgren, at present professor at Stanford University, and a man famous in his line of work, We are recognized by the State Min- eralogist of California, and have every reason to assure our stockholders that their stock will be growing in value every day and that hand- some dividends are sure to follow an Invest- ment in this company. Discovery of Cosumnes Mines. Langley’'s State Register for 1859 recited the discovery of copper ore on the Cosumnes Riveér, in El Dorado County, giving instances of assays ylelding over 70 per cent pure metal, which, with the gold and silver values in the ores of the Cosumnes mine, makes the best ores assay several hundred dollars per ton. But it was not until early in the sixties, when the sturdy miners were washing large for- tunes every day from the rich placer mines of the California river bottoms, and at a time when very little attention was given to a search for the now valued sistor metal, copper, that & party of miners, who were digging a tallrace for the discharge of the debris from the placer claims higher up the stream, cross- cut a well-defined ledge of copper ore above the south bank of the Cosumngs River. Great excitement created by this discovery, as the miners at first thought the copper sul- phides to be gold. Specimens of the ore were assayed and found to be rich in copper, gold and silver, some showing a value as high as $2000 in gold values per ton. Claims were lo- cated and a company was incorporated and acquired title to the property, and the claims were from that time on known as the Co- sumnes Copper Mine. Rival claims were mad- and costly and protracted litigation ensued. It was finally decided in favor of ex-Sheriff John Thelsen of 1527 Fulton street, San Fran- clsco, and his associates. Then came the development of the claims. Six _thousand dollars was spent constructing a road down the mountain side to the mine. Tunnels were run and shafts were sunk and a large body of exceedi 'h ore was uncov- ered, Many efforts were made to Woek .thie | gineers ore by the primitive methods thu vogue, but it was found impossibl te the de m- n as smelting these heavy ul e TR A that time '” Tittle and_ore cter had to by shipped to lvnn«.

En- nd experts are able to determine just what the ex and nature of any given mine are, and then the miners have only to figure | the cost of getting out the ore and hauling it | to smelters to determine what their profit will | be. There are very few, if any, instances recording the faflure of a copper mine The development to enormous proportions of the copper mining industry of the country has come about in the last twenty years, the de- mand having grown with the perfection of methods of applying electricity. As an instance of the great demand for cor per, had the California Wire Works been abl to procure the metal in California, the Paciflc cable, now being laid from San Francisco to Maniia, would have been manufactured here instead’ of in England.

State Mineralogist Lewis E.

A shaft is sunk in this tunnel, all in ore. Another tunnel, 130 feet long, passes westerly through a light-colored diorite rock to the vein, and then turns and fc lows its course for sixty feet.

One hundred dollars invested in the Le Roi Copper Company's stock ylelde.l to the owner $49,900. Fifteen hundred dollars purchased the entire Bully Hill Copper Mine, in California, ten years ago, and it produced $3.- 000,000 during the first fifteen months of the operation of its smelter. A few years ago $10. 000 was paid on the Mountain copper property in this State and forfeited. Since then the property produced $25,000,000, and last year earned a net pzofit of $1.830, Two and a half million dollars in dividends is paid annual- 1y by the copper mines of a single county in this _State. Ome hundred dollars invested in the Tamarack Copper Company in 1590 is now worth $32,000, and its ores are about one-fourth as rich as those of the Cosumnes mines.
