EX.SHERIfF LOGAN
DENIES THE CHARGE
Says That His Accounts With The
County Are All Settled Up.

The county commissioners at their
last meeting announced that the ex-
pert accountants recently employed
to 60 over the books OF the county
officers had found q shortage Of $11OO
in the accounts of ex-Shcr!f Tom
Logan, and called upon him and his
bondsmen to appear at the next
meeting Of the board and make the
deficit good.
On being spoken to regarding the
matter, Mr.. Logan said the whole
proceeding of both the experts and
the board came to him as surprise;
that when the former were going over
the books, he was never asked any
thing, therefore did not know that
his accounts were being questioned.
He holds receipts from the auditor
for every cent collected and turned
over, and from the board he holds
the release issued to him last Janu.
airy when his successor took his Office.
Mr.. Logan can account for the
deficit in only one way. On some Of
the sums collected by him the state
laws allow him fee of six per cent.
During his term of Office these per-
quisites amounted to something over
$11O0, little in excess of the amount
he is charged with being short. Mr.
Logan will attend the next meeting
of the board and thinks he will have
no difficulty in Strengthening thu
matter out.

MACHINERY ARRIVING.
Batteries for the New MIL Have
Been Put In Place.

A steam boiler, tanks, ore break
er and two fve-s stamp batteries for
the mill being erected by the Tono-
pah Mining, Milling and Development
company on the ground west of the
Midway, have arrived and been put
IN position. The foundation for oil
the machinery has been completed
for several weeks past, but the non.
arrival of the different parts OF the
mill has delayed construction consid.
erably. However, II Is now arriving
in fairly good time, and 1t will not be
many weeks before the stamps are
dropping.
The mill, when completed, will be
one OF the most substantial In the
state, and with the concentrating
tables which will be attached, will
be able to successfully treat all the
different kinds OF ore that exist in
the Tonopah district.
The machinery for the Kinkaid
mill at the King Tonopah property is
also arriving and soon that will be ~
working shape.
Mills are the true solution OF the
problem that has confronted Tono.
pah, and when they are in operation,
the rest will be easy, and we will
have the greatest mining camp on
earth.

The Diamond Drill.

which became "fitchered" and hung
in the hole. several weeks ago, was

FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Friendly Rivals Will Battle OH
the Diamond.

CONSIDERABLE rivalry mas existed
for long time between the "Sports"
and the Mixers" of Tonopah, as to
which play the best ball. To settle
the matter and put all doubts at
rest, a game has been arranged to
take place tomorrow at the baseball
grounds. Besides the honors OF win
ming, the victorious team will be given
a stack of whites. The list of names
comprising the lineup is necessarily
long, as it is presumed that the fight
will be so terrific that many of the
participants will be disabled and
forced to retire, hence many "subs"
have been provided.

Railroad RunOrs,

All kinds Of railroad rumors have
been in circulation the past week, but
none can be traced to a reliable
source. The most persistent rumor
is that the Tonopah Mining company
has purchased or will build the road
under the Lemon franchise, and
while there is probably some truth in
the story, it has not yet been official.

for August, which was also supposed
to be for short account, and that OPP
ton displayed great firmness on a sur
prisingly few transactions. Opening
