Referee Firth Temporarily Acting
Part Of Boniface,

TdTl OF oOnITdCes
On top Of the sheep and various other
chattels and wares that he is hold
ing by virtue OF his office of referee
! n bankruptcy, pending their final
disposition, H. A. Firth now finds
himself with a hotel and electric
lighting plant on hand. Both are at
Livingston and form a supposed part
OF the assets OF A. o. Newton. an
involuntary bankrupt.
Sometime ago five of the creditors
OF Newton filed a petition with the
Judge OF the United States district
court asking that Newton be adjudged
a bankrupt. The petition was granted
and the customary orders made. New
ton failed to file a statement of his
assets and liabilities, as he left the
state before the order could be serv-
ed on him. Whether true or not. it
is said that he left purposely to es-
cape service. AS near as they could
the creditors prepared a list of the
bankrupt's assets and filed it with
the referee. Included in the inventory
is the Albemarle hotel and an electric
lighting plant said to belong to the
hotel, and the ground on which they
stand, four lots.
Search OF the records since the
filing OF the list has shown that the
hotel. lots and plant have been trans
ferred to H. L. Frank OF Butte and
the claim is made that the transfer
was made within four months pre-
ceding the institution of the bank
ruptcy proceedings against Newton.
Under the provisions of the bankrupt
cy law any transfer within that time
is invalid. if made for the purpose
OF satisfying any antecedent debt
other than a lien, unless for a present ,
consideration, that is, unless the ac-
tual cash has been paid, in which
event the transfer holds. In this in
stance the transfer is alleged to have
been made for the purpose OF satisfy
ing a mortgage Frank held on the
property.

gone into further, but until that date

MYSTERY is CLEARED.
Boy Confesses That He Fired Mon.
tana Club Building.

In a written confession to the chief
OF police Of that city Harry Ander.
son, a colored boy, acknowledges that
he purposely caused the fire which
resulted in the destruction OF the
Montana clubs magnificent building
a few weeks g
Anderson was employed by the club
as ar elevator boy and in explana-
ton of his deed says he simply
wanted to see the fire horses run
and that he mad no intention or desire
to burn the building. In his confes-
sion he says he also set the first fire
from which the building narrowly
escaped destruction, and for the same
purpose. Also for the same reason
he fired a barn a short time before.
Neither time, he declares, had he
any other desire and believed that
because of the promptness with
which the department always re-
sponded to alarms the fires would
be extinguished before they could do
any damage to the buildings.
After firing the barn, done one night
when he was going home from his
work, he ran to a neighboring house
and secured the key to the fire tele-
graph box and SEN in the alarm, after
which he waited for the firemen to
arrive and after they had put out
the fire he proceeded home. His next
attempt at incendiarism was at the
club. A stock meeting was in pro-
gress and late at night he was sent
to the cellar to get some lemons. He
took a match along and as he was
leaving the cellar threw the lighted
match onto a pile OF straw and small
wood. Again he saw 1.-THE horses run"
and also helped work at the fire.
The second time he fired the build
ing he took a gunnysack that he found
in the kitchen and placed it in the
woodbox, under some kindling, and
it. Then he went downstairs
in the elevator and waited for the de-
partment to come and as before as
sisted at the fire.
The boy appears to be a degenerate,
Is he disclaims all feeling OF enmity
those whom he injured and
maintains that no other motive than
he one given prompted him into the
commission of incendiarism. He
ook his arrest in a matter-of-fact
and apparently is wholly un-
concerned as to what is likely to be
lone with him. An information will
,robably be filed against him and
effort made to have him committed
the reform school.

New Strike Near Phoebe

A few months ago A. Clifford con-
ceived the idea that on the fiat to the
west of what is called the Point, about
five miles west of Phoebe. ores could
he found. and he consulted with Henry
Welland, who had formerly owned the
ground in the vicinity, but had let it
lapse for want of representation, and
suggested that he relocate the claim
and do the work if Welland would fur
nish supplies.
After sinking two shafts to depth
OF about 20 feet without success Mr..
Clifford moved west about 70 feet
through the wash and slate. Prospec-
tors in that vicinity made light of the
work, but Clifford evidently knew what
he was doing, and at a depth OF 81
feet uncovered a 3-foot ledge of re-
markably rich ores, and from the
strike of the vein or fissure 1T was not
improbable that it is continuation
of the old Raymond Ely fissure at
Phoebe. From assays so far made the
material runs high in silver and lead,
with about $40 per ton gold.

MR.. HAYDEN TO HAVE
WIRES in HIS OFFICE

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany is putting in a loop connecting
the Weather Bureau Office of this city
with the main lines. This will enable
the local Weather Bureau Office to tel
egraph weather reports direct from
the office in the court house to San
Francisco, Denver or Washington and
thus facilitate the work.
The loop is now all completed with
the exception of connecting the in
struments which will be accomplished
in a few days as soon as office wire
arrives from San Francisco.
Mr.. Hayden says that this will be
a great help in every way and will en-
able him to get reports to their des-
tination a great deal quicker.

The Meaning OF Porphyry

The term "porphyry" is the most
used of any name given by miners to
rocks of unknown character They
are familiar with slate, quartzite,
limestone, ETC., and often with green
stone as a class distinctive from the
former, and call most chrystalline
rocks of grayish appearance and gran
itic habit by the general name granite,
whether proper or not; but any rock
of unknown character is called por-
phyry, particularly if it is fine grained,
more or less decayed and generally
unlike the type rocks above mentioned.
The term answers we'll enough, as a
missioner has no particular signifi-
cance Porphyry is a term describing
a structural condition in rock and has
no particular reference to its mineral
composition excepting as indicated by
some qualifying adjective, as quartz
porphyry, meaning a fine grained rock
in which occurs chrystals or blebs of
quartz, also, sometime, of feldspar
(orthoclase) and mica or hornblende.
Hornblende porphyry is a rock of
granitic type in which hornblende oc-
ours in prominent crystals. Feldspar
porphyry is the name applied to a fine
grained grayish rock in which field
spar crystals are prominent.

AT THE WEDE=
KIND NINE
Herbe HoIeman Is Remembered
And Gov. Sparks On the
Scene

The Silver State received word this
morning that on last Tuesday night
the people of Wedekind City, where
Governor Sparks mine is located, got
together and celebrated the first ami
versary of the date of taking cnarge
of the mine by Hebe Holman, the su-
perintendent, and who has been pro-
nounced by some of Nevada's leading
citizens to be the States best practical
miner. The event was celebrated by
a dance which proved very ENJOYABLE.
The chairs and in fact everything
was moved out of the cook-house and
at o'clock the noise from this jolly
crowd it is claimed, could be heard
at Reno, a distance of three miles.
About 10 o'clock, Goernor Sparks
and party arrived. The ladies, who
arrived with the Governor, were Maud
Patterson and Miss Swick of Eureka.
When the Governor and his party had
arrived quadrille was being arranged
for and being that Mrs. Sparks had
been attending social functions several
evenings before, it was thought by the
gentlemen present she would be too
tired to dance. The floor was not too
clean and Mrs. Sparks was arrayed in
a beautiful gown and therefore she,
or, in fact, none of the Governors
party, participated in this quadrille.
Mrs. Sparks and the young ladies felt
that they were not to be put off and
Immediately commenced dancing.
Most all the gentlemen present were
old miners and in dancing whenever
Mrs Sparks or the other two young
ladies, who accompanied her, got a
chance to swing an old miner they did
so, and in a few moments the fun of
the thing hit the crowd and the jollity
and hilarity nearly lifted the roof off
the cook-house. They kept this qua
drille going until the violinist had
TO yell enough"
After this dance Mrs. Sparks took
the floor and read the riot act to
the miners. She said that we did not
come out to this social function to
act as wall-flowers and I'VE want it
understood" After this riot act" the
hilarity increased and in a very short
time it was a regular old-lashioned
Sagebrush hoe-down.
The miners would not stand for the
Governor to sit idle, so they made him
take hand In the tun.
At II o'clock a sumptuous repast
was served, in which all partook very
eagerly. While this fine feed was go
ing on Mr.. Holman was presented
with a fine gold-headed cane. This
beautiful cane was presented by the
miners and presented in way that
made Mr.. Holman feel happy.
After supper all adjourned to the
hall and dancing was resumed and
kept up until o'clock when the fid-
dler refused to play any more as he
was completely exhausted.
The miners of the party have formed
a conclusion that Mrs. Sparks and the
young ladies who accompanied here
were lust full of fun
