AN INDICTMENT
Continued from page ~

E. D. Simmons, charged with conspir-
acy. with Charles E. Smith and others
to defraud the United States govern
ment in the purchase of pouches from
C. e. Smith of Baltimore. The COM
plant sets forth that McGregor and
Upton agreed with Smith to obtain for
him orders for many thousands of
leather pouches such as are used by
rural letter carriers. The price agreed

actual value was less than so cents.
Smith was to pay to them the differ
ences between 80 and so cents per
pouch.
1T is stated at the department that
the actual number of pouches which
were purchased exceeded 10000, for
which the government paid 80 cents
each, or $4,000 in all. Smith received
and retained of this for his own use
100000 The remaining $4,000 was paid
to McGregor and Upton. The govern
ment could have bought the entire
number of pouches from the manufac-
turers for $4,000"
McGregor was the clerk in charge OF
rural free delivery supplies and Upton
was one of his assistants.
McGregor has been in the postal SER
vice since 1891. He came here from
Nebraska as a messenger and subse-
quently was promoted to a clerkship
and finally was appointed by Mr..
Machen in charge of the supply work
of the rural free delivery service. Mr..
Upton is a Baltimorean and has been
in the postal service for 10 years. Both

THE MINES
OF CENTRAL
Writeup of Pro missing District
Situated Not Far From
This Town

Central district, 20 miles southwest
of Winnemucca, is one of the liveliest
and oldest camps in Humboldt coun-
ty. There are several, heretofore not
ed, producers, the foremost being
the Golden Eagle, the Blackbird, the
Railroad and Locomotive, the Key
stone, the Teamster, the Marietta,
Golden Age and the Silver Monarch.
All of these have, when operated, pro-
duced considerable amount of high
grade ore, principally silver, says the
Pacific Coast Miner.
In the 70's a silver mill was run
on milling grade ore, but most of the
product of the camp was shipped to
smelters. Since the decline in the
price of silver the only product has
been small shipments of rich ore to
smelters, and the camp has expert
enced the fate of most similar mining
camps in the west, and all the silver
properties are at a stand-still.
The Golden Eagle mine, now owned
by the Golden Eagle Mining company,
Of Salt Lake City, is listed on the
stock board in that city. The mine
has been operated on the stock plan
and never has had the opportunity of
showing what it really is About 1000
tons of ore, ranging in value from
$50 to 800 per ton, principally gold,
have been shipped to the Salt Lake
smelters as occasion demanded in or
der to enhance the value of the stock
in the market. During the past two
years, owing to lack of development,
there has been but little ore shipped
and the mine has been run upon the
dog in the manger plan and is now
practically idle, although two men are
kept at work constantly extracting
what shipping ore it is possible to
obtain. There are 1000 tons of ore
on the Golden Eagle dumps assaying
So to $40 per ton in gold, and from
5000 to 5000 tons in the mine that will
average s12 to SIS per ton. The ore
is a model cyaniding ore and needs
but a small mill to put the property
upon a paying basis. Why this has
not been done by the company is
mystery to those acquainted with the
property.
The Blackbird mine, another gold
property, was purchased in 1892 by a
Detroit company from the discoverers,
Clark and Stoddinger, for $4,000. A
mill was built on the Humboldt river,
a distance of seven miles from the
mine, with a capacity of 25 tons per
day and was operated on good pay
ing ore for a period of months,
when owing to the company having
pursued the same policy that is gen.
eral with most men who are not strict
ly mining men, i. e., that of wishing
immediate returns at the expense of
the development, the mine was strip
ped of ore and left in that state. 1t
but remains for some one to open
the mine in a business-like manner,
when it will undoubtedly prove itself
to be as good an investment as one
could wish. The mine was recently
purchased by C. M. Harvey Of Win
nemucca for song, probably on spec
ulation. The mill was sold three years
ago under a judgment and has since
been purchased by c. B. Hanson, and
the tailings worked by cyanide pro-
cess, yielding s4 to IS per ton.
The Railroad and Locomotive mine
has been purchased by G. B. Hanson
and the Hanson Estate and will short
ly be placed on a working basis. The
