Robbed While Asleep.

Tuesday morning between the hours
of . and 9 o'clock John F. Mathews vas
robbed of 500, most of which was gold,
while asleep in a bunk in the annex of
the Merchants Hotel at Columbia. Mr..
Mathews had arrived on the Monday
evening stage from Tonopah, to which
place he came from Nome, Alaska, in
company with VIM. Neville and two
other parties. These gentlemen left
Alaska October 10, 1904, on the steamer
Victoria bound for Seattle, from which
place they left Immediately for Goldfield
upon reaching port. The trip had been
a long and tedious one with but very
few stop-overs enroute and consequently
they were exceptionally worn out and in
much need of rest. This accounts for
the fact that the thief was able to take
the money from the trousers under Mr..
Mathews pillow without waking him

Another New Company.

There has recently been organized a
company known as the Goldfield Mines
Co., operating under the laws of the ter
ritory OF Arizona, who have acquired
several prominent mining properties in
the Goldfield district, two of which are
now being developed. The principal Of
ticers of the company are mining men of
experience from Southern California
and have shown their confidence in the
future Of Goldfield and adjacent mining
districts by investing quite heavily in
several groups of mines.
One of the most recent purchases by
the above company was acquiring the
Black Cap group OF mines lying south
and east from Goldfield; the transfer of
the property to the company having
been effected through the agency of
Geo. Gibson, a mining man from Oma-
ha, Nebraska.

w FINE NEW BUILDINGS
will Soon Be Under Construction on
Main Street.

The largest price yet given fur a lot in
Goldfield was paid today when George
Wingfield planked down 5000 cash for
the lot ON the corner of Main and Ram
sey. In addition to the above price he
paid the contractor who had already
started a building for the former owners
$500 to cancel the contract. This lot
vas bought less than a year ago for ST..
aud changed hands several times until
two months ago it was bought for $500.
The sale was made Through the enter
prising firm of Herrick & Scott, who
made realty sales during the week ag-
gregating over $4,000.
A reporter was unable to locate Mr..
Wingtield today, but il is understood
that he will at "nce begin the erection of
q handsome two story stone building
on the lot. and that the N,e & Ormsby
County ! aDk will have elaborate quar-
tiers there. In the meantime the bank
has leased quarters in Iugalls & Co.'S
new stone building. which they will &C.
cupy H. soon As fixed up, until the new
building is completed.
Plans have also been perfected for the
construction of another two story bank
building at the southwest corner of Main
and Hall streets. The eiifice will be IF
white stone. arti>tically trimmed, modern
in every respect and finished with the
best materials procurable.
The material for the building will be
s cured from - quarry of excellent build
ing stone recently opened up south of
town. Tests of the stone by fire and
water have proven it to be of exceptional
quality. Pieces Of it have been heated
to red heat and then suddenly immersed
in water without any injurious effects re-
suiting. II Is ais particularly adapted
to building purposes.
The bank structure will have a front
age on Main street If 3 feet and 100 feet
On Hall. The bank. which has been
named the Goldfield Bank Il Trust COM
pany. will occupy the Main street room,
3Ox5Q. Two stoie rooms. with % foot
frontage each, will face Hall street. The
upstairs is to be arranged into 20 office
suites. The building will be rushed to
completion with all possible speed. j. II.
Boal, the cashier of the banking insti-
ton, is now here directing construction
work and states he expects to have the
block finished by February l.
One attractive feature of the bank fix
lures will be a large, absolutely ireproof
vault to be constructed of stone and steel.
A part of this vault will be devoted to
safety deposit boxes.
The bank will open its doors within
ten days in the corrugated iron building
north of the site of the bank block,
where business will be transacted until
the completion of the stone structure.
More than enough applicants to fill all
the offices and store rooms have filed re-
quests for reservations.

RICH STRIKE AT OASIS.
Thomas Price Strires Ore of Wonder
fully Rich Value.

T.. ]. Price has made a fabulously rich
some 80 to IS miles southeast of Gold
field as the crow flies. This is the strike
which was mentioned last week, but the
location of which wal kept secret at that
time. The discovery consists of a seam
Of quarts from 4 to 6 inches wide that
carries extraordinary values in free gold.
Samples of the ore show prodigious
quantities of coarse gold scattered all
through the quartz. The strike was
made on a property Mr.. Price has owned
for a some time. The rich gold quartz
ledge was uncovered at a point 1000 feet
from a big galena ledge that the owner
has developed to some extent. On the
latter ledge a shaft has been put down
to a depth of 35 feet and there is show
ing a big body of high grade galena ore
that carries from half to an ounce of
gold and % ounces of silver. The greater
portion of the ledge is rich i'm galena,
some of it being 81 per cent, which is
practically pure. Practically all of the
ledge exposed will average above 80 per
cent, making the total value of the ore
in minerals approximately $50 per ton.
Its greatest value, however, lies in the
fact that the product will have a big de-
mand for f1uxing in the event there is a
smelter built in this section, which will
in all probability be lone within IA year.
The property has been bonded by S. +.
Vermilyea of this place, who is now in
vestigating freight and smelter rates
with a view to determining whether or
not the ore can be protitably handled
under conditions obtaining at present.
In case it can a big force of men will be
employed and the property extensively
opened up. In the mean time the rich
gold quartz ledge is be explored.

Musical Evening at Congreg ationa
Church.

l"The Fatherhood of.God," a sacred
cantata by P. A. Schneider was given
by the Congregational choir Sunday
evening and was enjoyed by an audience
that completely filed both auditorium
and annex. The choruses were very
effective, being sung with expression
and religious fervor. The solo work
by Miss Mary Lyon, Miss Frances Jones,
Miss Meta Dean, DIR. Tick, and Mr..
Stevens was beautifully interpreted.
The quartet by Miss Lyon, Mrs. Will
son, Mr.. Stevens and DIR. Tick was well
rendered, and especial credit is due Miss
Pearl Eddy and Miss Jones who took
the work of two sick choir members al
the eleventh hour. But they were more
than equal to the occasion. The organ
list, Miss Peterson, very ably supported
both chorus and soloists and her untir
ing work and musical accompaniment
were appreciated by the choir and
audience alike.
The choir is already preparing a
special program for the March musical
and rehearsals begin this week on a
beautiful work, 1.-THE Resurrection" by
Charles Fonteyn Manney, to be given
Easter night.

Warner on Primary Reform.

On another page OF this issue the
Herald publishes in full communica-
ton from Hon. Fred M. Warner, on the
subject of primary reform. Mr.. War
ner has not been satisfied to accept what
some one says about the attitude of the
various states on this subject, but has
gone to the original and authentic
sources of information, the officers of
the various states, hence his study is OF
far more than ordinary interest and
reliability.
Another thing which especially com
mends Mr.. Warmers communication is
the fact that, although his candidacy
for governor is well known, he has men
toned it only incidentally in this COM
munication, leaving his readers free to
study the subject and weigh it, unbiased
by personal prejudice on the guberna-
torial question.
Republicans and northern democrats
will find in the history of other states no
p 'ecedent for the adoption of any
measure so radical as the Colby bill.
Not republican state, no northern
democratic state and but few southern
democratic states have gone so far as to
abandon conventions altogether. Both
parties agree that in the government of
cities, towns and counties, as far as
possible the doctrine of 'home rule
should be adopted. That no system
should be forced upon township, vii
lage, city or county, contrary to its
wish 1t seems to be the plan of the
various states to carry out as far as pos
sible this principle of home rule on the
subject of direct voting. If any county
or city wants it, many of the states
have so arranged that that city OF
county can adopt it without forcing it
upon a neighboring city or county
which does not want it.
1t is claimed that where law abolish
ing al conventions has been tried, it has
rendered toward the disintegration of
all political parties and the creation of
conditions far from favorable to good
government
That primary election law is needed
in many places goes without the saying.
That where such law is not in force a
more stringent caucus law is needed is
equally true, but just what this primary
law should be, just how far it should go,
should be determined by the people
after careful investigation.
Some noted man has said that, "a
sober second thought is always essen
tial and seldom wrong" A sober second
thought saved the United States from
plunging into the bottomless pit of free
silverism. So sober second thought,
careful study of the important subject
of primary reform or direct voting will
prove valuable and result in the passage
of such laws as will bear the test of ex.
perience. Mr.. Warner has made valu-
able contribution to the study of this
subject. County Herald.

"a PuzzIjnu Sentence.

Marquette, Mich, March 1.--Joseph
McCauley of Gogebic county has just

a rather puzzling sentence to serve.
He was convicted Of larceny and sent

than one year and one day. Usually
there is enough difference between the
maximum and the minimum terms 10

the shorter term by good behavior.

'Our system of nominating candidates

There is demand in this state for
primary election reform. We do not be.
lieve, however, that the extreme
measures advocated by Jtstus s. Stearns
are for the best intereses of the whole
people. On the other hand we believe
they would centralize political power in
the big cities and work harm to rural
districts Four years ago Mr.. .Stearns
was one of the trio of Doodle candidates
that disgraced this state, and people
may reasonable be excused for not TAX
ing his "anti-corruption" manifesto as
seriously as he would wish. Hastings
