RENO, Nov. 24—Wes '*Josselkus and wife, two aged and well-known resi- | dents of Susanville, were seriously and perhaps fatally injured by wild horses yesterday. Mr. Hosselkus was attempt- ing to corral the horses which had come to his ranch. The animals took fright at the old gentleman and stam- peded, running over him and throwing him to the ground. Both of his legs were broken and he was injured in- ternally. His wife went to his assist- ance and she also became entangled with the horses and was in turn thrown o the ground, receiving a broken limb and sustaining other serious injuries. Both of the aged people lay helpless and unconscious on the ground for some time. When"they regained con- sciousness they shouted for assistance. It is doudtful if either will recover.

E. Dittmar is authority for the statement that many thousands of tons| | of zinc will be produced annually in Shasta County. In part Mr. Dittmar | says: The ziic of Shasta County s associated prin- cipally with the copper bearing ore. This is particularly true of the east side copper belt, extending from Bully Hill to the Afterthought. With the Afterthought and its nelghboring properties making a recovery of the zinc con- tent of the ores produced a good many thou- sands of tons of zinc will be produced agnually. The ores of Colorado are in some respects very similar to the Shasta. County ores. = Hundreds of thousands of tons o ores in the Leadville district have been piled up as useless in the past because of the heavy zinc, which made it unprofitable to recover the other metal values. Even as late as 1902 the zinc output of Colo- rado was practically nil, but in the last three years the growth has been very rapid, and last year exceeded $5,000,000 in value. ~Fortunes are being made out of the waste dumps of Leadville, and mines that three years ago could not be worked because of the heavy per- centage of zinc are now being worked at a tremendous profit, and the zinc in many cases has become the most important factor in the ore. 1 believe that within a few years the mines of Shasta County will produce the zing for the Pacific Coast. Ten years ago we scarcely real- ized that we had copper in Shasta County. Since then we have produced 250,000,000 pounds of the red metal. The Mountain Copper Com- pany is now making an important by-product of sulphur in the form of sulphuric acid and will eventually very largely increase the con- sumption of this by-product ‘by the manufac- ture of superphosphates. The same condltions will eventually be found true in the matter of zinc as & by-product. The advance in metal- lurgical knowledge has made it possible. GREAT FUTURE FOR MINES. ‘The annual convention. of the Califor- nia Miners’ Association has been fol- lowed in a news way by telegraphic dis- patches during the last week. Several papers of interest that were read and considered will prove to be good reading in review when the stenographic copies are supplied. The convention has been interesting in several respects. Natural- |1y the holding of the annual gathering | of miners at Nevada City has stimulated interest largely in that part of the State. The Nevada County newspapers take a | cheerful view of mining in California. | The Grass Valley Union, for instance, | editorially says: California has a greater variety of mineral | products than any other State in the Unfen. | Gold stands at the head of the list. No accu- | rate record of the gold production has ever | been kept, owing to the reticence of mine own- | ers and the aifficulty of tracing the output of | their properties. but up to the end of 1904 it is | offictally estimated that the State's total out- put of gold approximates $1,400,000,000 and | that the annual production is about $18,000,000. | While the bulk of the shallower auriferous | ground which ylelded such enormaus,wealth in | the earlier years of gold mining has long | since been worked out, placer mining is by no | means at an end. The auriferous. gravels in the State will give profitable employment to the ‘miner for decades to come. New gold bearing deposits are discovered every year and no limitation can be put on the life of placer | mining in the State. Dredge mining develop- ment is now being prosecuted In many sections and most satisfactory returns are received. The perpetuity of gold mming in Californt | however, depends more on its gold bedring ledges than on its aurierous flelds. Quartz | mining is increasing with wonderful rapldity. | The permanency of the veins and their con- tinued productiveness at increasing depths have established thelr value. The methods of ex- tractlon and reduction and the cheapness of power have greatly reduced the cost of opera- tion in late years. Ore bodies carrying but small values are worked at a good profit. Low grade ores are treated by the same processes in use in the Transvaal and at lower cost. Not in many years have the prospects of the mining industry in California been as bright as at the present time. MILLIONS IN COPPER. The Los Angeles Mining Review says of the copper earnings of a year: This vear is eufficlently far advanced to permit of some figuring being done on what it will show In the matter of profits from cop- per-producing _mines when it shall have rounded out its twelve months of existence, There are many great copper mines about which no_information is obtainable, notably those in_Arizona controlled by Messrs. Phelps, Dodge & Co, of New York. Leaving tho | out of consideration we have left a dozen cop- per proverties whase estimated productiow, for the vear 1905 s in the neighborhoad of G05,- 000,000 pounds of copper, irrespéetive of other values, Taking 15% cefts per pound as the average price of copper for the year we have a total value for production for the twelye roperties in question of $62,070,000. Careful Ricuring, * based upon public reports, ehows that the average cost of production per pound of these 595,000,000 pounds of copper was with- in a fraction of 112-8 cents, leaving a net profit per pound of 4% cents. which would make net profits of $26,030,000 to be divided among the twelve properues. The division would not, of course, be an equal onme: _the Amalgamated Copper properties would, because of thelr larger proportion of production, take a correspondingly large proportion of the to- tal_psofits; so, also, in the case of Calumet & Hecla of Michigan and Calumet & Arizcna of Arizona. The important feature is not so much what any individual property has cleared in profits during the year as that the year has been so profitable to all, each in its due pro- portion. For the first time in the history of deep placer mining on the Port Wine ridge, in Sterra County, prospecting is being carried on by the sinking of drill holes by machine. This work, which is now attracting a great amount of attention in that section, is being pursued in the immediate vicinity of Mount Fillmore, quite at the head of the ridge and close by the Howland Flat section, from which has been taken a great quantity of gold by the drift mining method in the last decade. It is at the direction of a small body of enterprising and conservative San Jose men that this work, which bids fair to bring about’the resumption of large operations on that famous ridge, is being furthered. The big Keystone drilling machine with which the holes are being sunk was taken from Marysville to the property, -a distance of eighty miles, practically, under its own power. The Bellevue deep placer mine on the Gibsonville ridge, in Sterra County, was proved by the sinking of similar driil holes at the direction of a syndicate of wealthy Scotchmen. MINING IN NEVADA CAMPS. Ore shipments over the Tonopah Rall- road average about 1750 tons a week. Ac- cording to the Beatty Bullfrog Miner, ground has ‘been broken for a twenty- stamp mill at Gold Center. Petroleum is reported to have been discovered at Ash Meadows, fifteen miles south of Bull- frog. The construction of a railroad to the Searchlight district is reported to be as- sured. The Goldfield News asserts that twelve inches of‘ ore has been opened up in & Goldfield mine that returns average as- says of $116,000 to the ton.

President J. H. Richards, of the Ameri- can Mining Congress, said in part at the Paso meeting in regard to the op- portunities for the mining industry in this country: The time is here in this ‘country where co- operation, not competition, fs the potent foree in getting things done. The bankers co-operate: transportation lines co-operate. Their co- operation is legitimate when based on honesty of purpose, and is the greatest method yet dis. covered to' prevent waste and financial and in- dustrial disaster. Those forces which, when wisely directed, are most potent for good, may. when' ignorantly or dishonestly directed. bé most destructive to the welfare of a people. The wholesome uncovering of vicious methods of directing the great financial affairs of our country will point the way to better methods in this co-operative tendency in the fleld of business and finance. We as yet little realize what a mighty influence on business tendan- cies may be exercised by an orxanization en. erously supoorted by mining men and perodi- cals, thoroughly representative of the mining industry, and with honesty and wisdom ruling its eounci] It is believed by many that the co-operation of our Government with the miner, as it now co-operates With the farmer, through a De- partment of Mines and Mining of equal dig- nity with the Department of Agriculture, would be of incalculabie benefit to the mining indus- try; that, for instance, our prospectors, miners and minine inventors are entitled to the most careful governmental investigation of mineral districts and formations, and the best ways of treating the infinite variety of ores in which this country abounds, and that they have the same right to official information on these mat- ters that the farmer has to official Information in regard to crop culture which is So effec- tively supplied to him by the Agricultural De- partment. It also seems to them that forelgn markets for some of our mineral products might be increased by proper governmental ac- | tion. in much the same way hat such co- operation has developed markets for certain | agricultural products abroad. If the question be considered one simply of dollars and cents, they are inclined to believe that in the ways indicated a Department of Mines and Mining wonld pay for itself many times over in direct benefits to the mining and affiliated industries. It appears to them that mining and farming stand on an equal footing as the great primary producing Industries which supply the raw material for nearly all other industries and that one is just as much entitled to officlal notice as the other. TONOPAH WATER SUPPLY INVOLVED Title to Plant Clouded by| Claimants of Nevada Land. RENO, Noy. 24.—The title to the four thousand acres of land at Rye Patch, held by the Tonopah Water Company as placer mining land, has been at- tacked by people who have entered it under the desert land act. This cloud upon the company’'s title has provoked a contest that will be settled within the next two months by & hearing that is to take place in the land office at Car- son. Property valued at several hundred tuousand dollars is involved. The land was entered several years ago by the water company as. placer mining ground. Later it was classified as desert land by the United Statés surveyors and in accordance with this classification it was subject to eniry. The people who took it claim there is no mineral on the land and that, using the mineral laws as a pretext, the Tonopah Water Company “hdgged” all the springs and water sources at Rye Pateh, from which it laid pipes to Tonopah, where it has installed a large water system.
