DRIVER KILLED.
Four Horse Team Runs Away
With Fatal Results.

On Sunday morning W. C. Wyn-
coop, manager of the Cramp property
at Liberty, started four-horse
wagon load OF provisions from Tono-
pah to the camp in charge of driver
William Blackmore. When near Ray
in some unexplained manner the
team ran away, throwing the driver
from his seat and strewing the sup
plies along the ground for nearly a
mile. When the news reached town
Mr.. Wyncoop dispatched a team to
the place of the accident and had
Blackmore brought in. One of the
horses was foundin badly crippled
condition and was killed.
Backmore was in an unconscious
condition when brought in and never
regained his senses, dying Wednesday
morning, and an examination showed
that conclusion of the brain caused
his death. How the accident oc-
Cured cannot be determined. The
team was supposed to be a steady
one, and Blackmore was reliable,
careful driver. When he left town
he had at least 800 in his pockets,
and this had disappeared when he
was found on the road.
Bill Blackmore was one OF the
most famous drivers in the west. For
years he drove one of Buffalo Bills
crack teams in the Wild West show,
and later on he drove stage on the
Bodie, Hawthorne and Candelaria
routes, and also in many parts of Cal
torna.
He was born near Freeport, ILL.,,
and was aged about 68 years. Little
is known of his people, but an effort
will be made to find them, in order to
apprise them of their relatives death.
His funeral took place Thursday and
was attended by number of friends
and acquain tances.

SECOND WEEK OF
CHINESE TRIAL
Washerman Identifies Four Men Who
We're With The Mob.

AT the re-opening Of the Chinese
case on Friday morning l.. +. KILLER
was the first witness examined. He
is a member of the Labor union and
his testimony in substance was the
same as that OF the preceding wit
ness, l.. b. Platt. He stated that
Arandall, in the course of his re
marks at the union meeting Monday
night, said if he had help he would
get the Cinnamon out.
W. F. Redenbaugh, recording sec
rotary of the Miners union, told of
the visit of committee of three from
the Labor union to the Miners union
on the night of Tuesday, September
10, for the purpose of discussing the
Chinese question, but nothing of a
nature that would incriminate any
body was said in his hearing.
W. d. Thomson, president of the
Miners union, was the next witness,
but nothing of Importance was de
Quoted from his testimony.
W. J. Landers and G. p. Swim
were two of the three men who con
stituted the Labor union committee,
Arandall being the third member
The two former testified, but their
statements did not show otherwise
than that they we're on a legitimate
errand.
Yoo Fin was the last witness of
the day He stated that he ran a
wash house in Chinatown. At about
10 o'clock on the night of the 10Th "a
crowd Of men visited his place and
told him to pack up and go Two
men took him out OF the house and
pushed him around and knocked him
down He pointed out Zumstein,
Lang and Wilson from among the de-
PENDANTS present as three of the men
who were present; Arandall was also
there; the fat man, Lang. had two
pistols. At about IL o'clock several
men came again and tried to break in
the door; as soon as he, the witness,
heard them he ran out of the back
door, and when he got away from the
house he looked back and recognized
the fat man and the colored man
Lang and Wilson, both of whom he
pointed out. When put under cross
examination the Cinnamon stucl

From twenty to thirty witnesses
still remain to be examined and it i
doubtful if the case will be concluded
, before the end of the coming week.

NEARING COMPLETION.
The Custom Mill Will Soon Be
Ready to Drop Stamps.

The big custom mill on the Midway
ground is fast approaching stage
when calculations can be made as to
the time of its completion, and al
though it has not been authoritatively
announced, it is safe to say that the
ides of November will see it in opera
ton. Nearly all the material is on
the ground, the boiler and smokestack
are in position, the stems have been
hung, the batteries are set, the
settling and cyanide tanks are in
place and the two Huntington grind.
ers are being put up. The "bull'
wheel and pulleys are now being lined
up, and the ore bins leading to the
ba tteries are being cemented and put
in proper shape for the reception o.
ore. The stamps, which will weigh
1850 pounds each, will be attached tC
the stems within the next few days
Nothing much will remain to be done
then except to enclose the plant ii
its sheet iron frame.
From the standpoint of permanency
no mill ever erected on the coast
compares with this reduction plant
which by reason of its cement an(
rock foundation, its steel frame an(
the perfect workmanship attending
its construction, will stand for de

JOHN McKANE BACK.
Says Eastern Financial Market
Is In Bad Shape.

John McKane, of the Tonopah Ex-
tension company, returned Thursday
night from a months visit to Pitts
burg, Philadelphia and New York.
While in the money centers of the
east Mr.. McKane met number of
the financial heavyweights of the east
and handed them Tonopah news in
big packages. They manifested con
siderable interest il the bonanza
camp, and later on many of them Will
visit here. The money market in the
east, Mr.. McKane says, is in chaotic
condition, and but little money is
available for either mining or specu-
lative purposes. The banks are call
ing in all their loans and are making
no further advances except on the
highest grade of securities. How
long this condition will last cannot be
stated, but it is more than likely that
it will take several months for the
market to recover from the Morgan
dizing which it received the past sum-
mer.
Mr.. McKane says that about the
last of the month Charles M. Schwab,
one of the managing directors of the
United States Steel company, will
visit Tonopah, probably in company
with a number of his associates. Mr.
Schwab is an automobile enthusiast
and will bring one of his crack racing
machines to Tonopah with him.
