THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
Will Be Celebrated in Fitting Style
in the Coldfield District.

AT a meeting held last Friday
evening in the Miners Union hall
the initial steps looking towards a
fitting celebration of the coming
Fourth of July we're taken. 1t
was the general sentiment of those
present that, owing to delay in the
delivery of material, the railroad
could not be completed into Tono-
pah before the middle of July, and
as there will be a big blowout on
that occasion Gin which GOldfeld
will gladly join it is believed that
many of the residents of TonOpah
will be pleased to have an oppor-
stunity to spend the Fourth in
'Goldfeld.
1t is proposed to arrange a base
ball game between the Goldfleld
and Tonopah cams in which the
latter Is promised a good. sOclable
beating. 1t is further proposed to
have drilling contests, foot races,
burro races and other sports and
amusements for young and old. In
the evening the Miners Union
will have a grand ball.
Nj. NJ. Detch was chairman of
the meeting Friday night and w.
L. McGonagill secretary. Another
meeting will be held at the same
place next Monday evening, at s
O'Clock, to appoint committees and
perfect arrangements. 1t is hoped
that every business mar and citi-
zen will be present on that occa-
sion. Let us have a good Celebra-
ton or none.

In entering a general denial
that Claude Nj. Smith, our popu-

of the marriage was published in

he should have written that it was

Ia the case OF the Nevada Chief Min
liz and Milling Company VS.. Tinsley ct
al, sudge Murphy read an exhaustive
and scholarly opinion in the District
Court at Hawthorne, on the 23d of May.
The decision was IA lengthy one and dis
cussed many interesting questions in the
law of mines and water rights. Among
the points discussed in the opinion were:
The suf1iciency of location certificates of
lode and placer claims; ime and
of marking boundaries; amended loca-
ton certificates; what constitutes IA valid
discovery in lode and placer claims; the
ownership Of springs situated within the
limits of "a lode or placer claim; and the
rights of Il subsequent lode locator to a
lode situated within the limits of a prior
placer location. The Court decided that
the location of a placer claim was an APP
preparation of the waters of a spring sit
uated within its boundaries, and that the
locator of a lode claim within the limits
of "a prior placer location was limited to
twenty-five feet on each side of the ledge.
The suit was brought to quiet the title to
a placer claim and to enjoih defendants
from preventing plaintiff from di> erting
the waters of a spring situated on the
claim to it's quartz mill. Judgment was
rendered in favor of the plaintiff.
The case of the State against CedrO
Zavala came up for trial in the District
Court on the Odd. The Court granted a
motion for continuance on account of the
illness of Laura Pegrossi, a witness for
the State, and the case was set for trial
on the 18th day of June, 1904.
J. A. Borland and F. M. Chapman are
working ten tOnS of ore from the Auto

1t is claimed that some of this ore is
worth s 1000 a sack. Some of the speci
mems show large chunks of free gold.
The claim has been abandoned for a
number of years and was relocated by
the present owners last March. The
lucky owners will net a snug sum from
this crushing. The tailings will be
shipped to Selby after the free gold is ex-
tracted.

GREAT FARM FOR

TO CONCENTRATE THEM ALL
End of the Renting System Is in Sight.
Eight Thousand Acres
of Land.

JACKSON. Miss, Aug q. - Governor
Nardaman and Commissioners Bradley
and McNair have returned from the Sun
flower plantation, where they investi-
gated conditions there with view of
determining whether 1t would be wise
to put all the convicts on this farm the
first OF the year.
1t seems probable that at the next
meeting of the board an order will be
passed to concentrate all the cOnvicts on
this plantation.
II the order is passed. II will mean that
the State Will rent no more land, but
will take the convicts from the rented
places and put them on the new farm.
There are now on the new farm half
the prison population of the State, or 500
men, and there are 5000 acres Of land
under cultivation. There are still about
5000 acres OF land on the place uncleared.
The concentration OF most Of the con-
victs on one plantation. owned and oper-
ated by the Safe, has been sought for
years by those who have interested
themselves in prison reform In this
State.

WHALE AND THRASHER
FIGHT A HOT DUEL
Passengers on Steamship Byron Wit
ness Terrific Combat at Sea Com
ing From South America.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S-Passengers of
the steamship Byron. from South Amer
lea. which arrived here yesterday, told
a story of seeing a hot fight between a
thrasher and a big whale on Saturday
morning while the vessel was coming
up the coast.
The battle lasted for over two hours,
and might have continued longer, but
the whale was killed.
The vessel passed through three sep
arate schools OF whales on the run from
South America. the last. sighted OF
Cape Hatteras, being so large that the
man at the wheel had to use great skill
TO avoid collision with some Of the
monsters.
Shortly after breakfast on Saturday
morning some Of the passengers on deck
saw a great splashing about a mile for
ward of the ship. Then through glasses
IL was discovered that Il was a fight
between a whale ard a thrasher.
The whale was about forty feet long,
while MS opponent variety Of shark
was about half the size. AS the vessel
approached the whale was blowing grea Z
clouds OF steam. while the thrasher was
doing his fighting with his long tail,
striking at the whales head
They kept moving straight ahead OF
the vessel all the while. leaving a trail
OF red behind. Every few seconds the
thrasher would spring from the water
and use his tail as a lash across the
whales back Every time this oc-
CURED the whale blew harder Finally
the thraSher seemed 20 realize that the

higher than ever from the water and

victory.

prices during the past week had been
expended on the bull side the market
would be three or four points higher
