TONOPAH COMPANY
BUYS COAL MINES
Gains Control Of the Deposits at Colum-
bus, Forty Mics West Of Tcnerah
..-fOrce of Men at Work.

The Tonopah Mining Company has
purchased the Columbus coal mines
These undeveloped coal deposits lie
south of the Tonopah and Candelaria
stage road and are distant about
forty miles from Tonopah The coal
is fair grade of Ignite, runs high IN
ash, but has great heating proper
ties. The company hopes by devel-
opment work to reach better
quality Of coal, and even if the quail
ity is not improved they hope to
determine that the deposit is of suf
ficient size and Importance to make
cheap fuel for Tonopah. A fair
sized vein of steam coal would almost
revolutionize mining in Tonopah.
SHELTERS and reduction works could
operate il the fuel problem was
solved A crew of miners with a
large supply of provisions left for the
coal mines this morning We will
watch with interest the developments
in this new and important industry

SENSATIONAL DAMAGE
SUIT IS COMMENCED
{. c. EisSeIe, the WOuId-b be TonOpah Lot
Jumper, at Last Finds an Attor-
ney to Take His Case.

In the United States Circuit Court
at Carson yesterday morning, Alfred
Chartz, as attorney for c. G, Eissele,
brought suit against T. L. Oddie,
Frank Butler. A. H. Bass. W W
Booth and others for damages in the
sum OF S., 600 1t seems that plain
tiff had pitched his tent upon lot in
the town of Tonopab. He was
elected therefrom and he objects to
the manner thereof. The complaint
alleges That on or about the goth
day of January, 1902, at Tonopah
aforesaid, ard while the plaintiff was
in the actual and peacable possession
OF said lands and premises, tent and
personal property, the said defen-
dants, 7 L. Oddie, Frank Butler. A.
Fl. Bass, W, W. Booth, John Doe
and Richard Roe, with multitude of
people, riotously, with violence and
with strong hand, and by force of
arms. wrongfally and unlawfully en-
tered thereon and assaulted plaintiff
in rude, angry, threatening and
forcible manner elected plaintiff and
put him out of said lands and tene-
ments and took and converted to
their own use said personal property
and all thereof, and destroyed by fire
the said tent and large amount OF
personal property and threatened to
expel plaintiff from said town of To
nOpah, contrary to the statute OF
Nevada, to the damage of plaintiff in
the sum of S., 600 Virginia Enter
prise.
When the alleged above complaint
is read by our citizens who are con
versant with the facts, it will cause
smile from all. In the first place
the plaintiff was never in possession
of the lot. which he admitted to the
Citizens Committee. and told them
he did not own the tent, and for them
to do with it as they saw tit The
plaintiff in this case endeavored IL
enlist the services of several repu
table lawyers in Nevada and Cali
fornia to take his case, but all being
conversant with the facts refused t
have anything to do with it, Mr.
Chartz will find when the case come,
up that he has not only been misin
formed, but he has created the
enmity Of the law-abiding citizens o
the town of Tonopah. Attorney DicE
Miner of Carson, an eminent lawyer
was prevailed upon by the plaintiff
to prosecute the reputable Citizens
Committee of Tonopah, but upon
learning the true facts refused tt
have anything whatever to do witt
the matter. ALI Chartz. the attor,
ney, is one of the directors of the
Bullion and Exchange Bank, The
defendants in this case are all ii

APRIL 6HlPMENTS.

The combined shipments of ore
from the three head of the lakes
docks tor the month of April are
given as 973,333 tons.
This amounts practically to a
gain of that much tonnage for the
current season, says the Herald. as
heretofore there has never been any
movement of ore to speak of from
Duluth, Allouez Bay or Two Har-
bors in the month of April. In the
month of April, 1900, the Missabe
docks shipped 25,000 tons, but aside
from that nothing has gone out in
previous years. <. =.
The Missabe and Eastern Mime
sofa roads were troubled by incom-
pletion of dock improvements which
have just been completed on the
former, but are not nearly finished
at the latter. The Eastern also was
not in position for heavy move
ment, because most of the tonna De
that passes over it's dock comes
from open pit mines, and the frost
is just now getting out 80 steam
shovels can be worked with free
dom. Moreover, the early opening
of navigation caught independent
owners of tonnage with the expecta-
tion that the real opening would be
delayed until we'll along toward the
first of May, and as the Eastern de-
pends entirely upon independent
mines that also affected it's record
for the month"; >Of the grand total
for the month the Two Harbors
docks heads the list with a tonnage
of A3,0& tons, the Missabe next
with 314.407, and the Eastern has;
215yO00 tons to it's credit.

a STOLEN FAKE.

We note by The Virginian of last
issue and again by the Duluth News
Tribune Of Wednesday, that the
Duluth, Virginia & Rainy Lake rail-
road has encountered "a big sink
hole in the course of it's construc-
ton from this city to the boundary
line. The hole is said to be about a
mile across, and will mean a serious
obstacle to overcome if the COM
pany decides to build across in
stead of around it,"
A continuation of the same strain
bears other startling features of
such presumed importance as to
render the article in its entirety
worthy of a "big head" in each Of
the publications named, but when
the foundation of the terrible ca
lamity which has allegedly betallen
the builders of the road, is known,
the article pales into insignifcance

Late last fall a small sink-hole,
some fifteen to twenty rods in width,
was encountered on the new line at
a point a short distance this side of

short order and the stretch of track

since December last, as solid and
substantial as any part of the line,
permitting this hauling of heavy
logging trains across it without

Since that time no eink-hole has

The Work d Surveying The
New East End Townsite
Now Under Way.
ON THE MARKET JUNE IS.

~" ~~~s~ >'@4 eS>S&S@ /OA~S ~
The work of surveying the new
east end townsite, near the Stephens
and adjacent mining properties, is
now under way, the promoters hav-
ing concluded all arrangements for
the formal transfer of the property,
and the present expectation is to
have the townsite ready to place on
the market not later than June 18th.
The new town will be situate in
section ~, 5-15, about seven miles
northeast of Biwabik. Adjacent to
the townsite is the big Stephens
mine, which is being opened and
developed this year, the Dora, the
Adams 4 Kimberly and Hawkins 4
Kinney properties, as also proven
ore bodies controlled by L. Rouch-
leau and associates, and others. In
addition to the mining industry
which in itself is assurance of the
stability of the new town-it will
also have a substantial backing
from the lumber industry, there be-
ing from 100000 to 200OO0O00 feet
of standing pine tributary. At the
present time Smith & Gowan, who
have a contract for putting in 50,-
100000 feet, have two camps employ
ing five hundred men, within three
fourths of mile of the townsite.
The proposed towneite embraces
an eighty in the midst of this wealth
of timber and mineral; a beautiful
location near the shores of Little
Mesaba Lake, level, with excellent
water and excellent drainage.
The promoters of the enterprise
comprise Messrs. Weyerhaeuser, Of
Cloquet, D. T. Adams, D. II. Moon
and E. P. Towne, of Duluth, togeth-
er with several gentlemen from this
city. The name of the new town
