NEW ORLEANS, La. March s.-Do-
vout belief in vOudouism was the means
of preventing Mrs. Louis Saublet. OF 1873
Laharpe Street. from getting a sack full
OF silver several days ago. In the sack
Of coins were some checks which had
been used on plantations IN lieu OF
money by the farm hands. but there
were also many dollars which Mrs. Sau-
blet could have had had she not be-

and was trying 10 .'hoodoo' her.
Children Found Sack.
While the children Of Mrs. SaubIet
were playing in the yard at their home
several days ago they found In the
gutter suck containing some round
pieces of metal. The children did not
know what IL was and ran into the
house to tell their mother. She went out
and looked at the sack. but would not
touch it. She was sure some one was
trying to bring i'll luck and misfortune
to herself or her family.
The sack remained in the gutter sew

BRAND FRESHMEN
ON THEIR CHEEKS
Cornell "SOphs' Do Trick
With Silver Nitrate.
MINERAL "o7" STANDS OUT
Physicians Fear Permanent Disfgure-

Of the Fun Of It.

ITHACA. March S.-One hundred Cor
nell freshmen are suffering today from
the effects Of a branding they received
Saturday at the hands Of their enemies

on the cheeks of each are marked
their class numerals. %. put there by
the sophomores with a solution OF silver
nitrate. which since Saturday afternoon.
when it was applied. has burned in
many cases deep into the skin.
1t IS feared by the physicians who
have attended the unfortunate fresh
men that In many cases the nitrate of
silver may leave a permanent scar.
Blood poisoning IS also to be guarded
against. for there were several poison
Gus. Ingredients in the mixture of paint
ana chemicals with which the sophs
decorated their captives.
Captured Two Hundred.
The branding occurred upon the occa-
sion OF the annual freshman banquet.
For week or ten days previous to the
feast Of the first year men the sopho-
mores were busy capturing freshmen
and imprisoning them in a big hall in
the town which had been secured for
that purpose.
By the afternoon Of the banquet they
had gathered into their prison about 200
Of the freshmen. As many sophs were
soon at work upon them decorating the
captured freshmen in all fantastic man
ne-s.
Worked by a System.
The work was reduced to a system by
the 1906 men. First, the freshmen were
stripped OF the ordinary outer garments;
then they were forced to don all kinds
of female attire; next they went into
the hands OF brush artists. who applied
paint profusely and attached ludicrous
signs TO their backs and breasts; lastly
they submitted to having their faces
decorated with the freshman numerals,
and IL was this last process which has
resulted so seriously.
When the solution was applied il
burned and scared. but the victims were
tied and helpless. and were forced 10
endure the pain. Then they went out
into the parade and Eravely smiled un-
der the gibes Of the crowd.
The sophs claim that they did not in
tend to permar&a tly mark their cap
tured freshmen With the numerals, and
that they did not know silver nitrate or
other dangerous chemicals were in the
paint which they used. Nevertheless, a
number OF the second year men viii un-

Jos. H. Brearley OF the Owl saloon
has just returned from Gold6eld
where he was on 3 business visit.
He is looking well after his long
trip and intends to return to the new
camp about the middle of next week.
Mr.. Brearley in an interview with
a Gazette reporter this afternoon,
said:
81 think the new camp OF Gold6eld
is the coming camp OF Nevada. The
mineral belt there is large and the
ore is free milling and consequently
car be easily worked.
People are rushing into the new
town and rapidly taking up claims,
while business houses are appearing
on every side.
1.-THE country is as good IL not bet
ter than Tonopah, and the ore is
very rich.
LAS to the matter OF wood and
water in the new camp, wood is very
close to Goldfeld and can be easily
reached. There are four wells in the
town and some springs just above
the town.
"a company has obtained these
springs and is going to pipe the water
from them into town.
Before very long l believe that
Goldfeld will be a prosperous city Of
several thousand inhabitants.

1t is understood that George S.

OF having the next United States

S. X. Bradford, the surveyor and
engineer, has recently done some ex-
tensive location and preliminary
work for q Tonopah syndicate, con
slsting OF Marvin and Frank Ish,
Frank Everett and j. r. Dufield, in
a practically new district twenty
seven miles south OF Goldfeld and
about fifty miles southeast of Tono-
pah. Mr.. Bradford first visited the
place in December and took up
twenty claims. Since then he has
again visited the properties and put
a force Of men at work developing
them. Through the ground run two
strong lodges, in no place less than
fifty feet wide, and samples brought
in show the following values: Gold,
IS to $40; silver, 3 to 8 ounces, and
copper, 81 to ia per cent. The for
nation of the country is andesite and
porphyry, very similar to that of
Tonopah, and MIR. Bradford is of the
opinion that it is the same mineral
belt that passes h~ereabouts. He
also states that he believes a number
OF first.class mines will be opened up
in the new district.

Ell. Minis Go. Market Letter

The market this week has been
dominated by the weakness in Mon
tana Tonopah; it sold as low as 1922
on the supposed passing Of the divi-
dend. Whether such will be the case
is a matter Of conjecture. Our can
did opinion is that there will be some
delay in declaring one, but when and
how soon no one but the management
can tell.
Montana Tonopah is the recognized
leader, and the various stocks move
in sympathy. Belmont has been
quite active and we bought upward
of 5000 shares for several of our
clients, for whom, we are pleased to
say, we ear show a profit of nearly
10 cents a share. Buy Belmont and
put it away; there is at least from
25 to 80 cents a share in it at this
price.
For a lower price of stocks we
would recommend the purchase of
Midway and North Star. These
stocks, in our opinion, have reached
their low point and any purchase
around the prevailing prices is a bar
gain. We quote Midway at AZ;
North Star, 49,.
There are other stocks of undoubt-
ed merit, which are closely held and
give promise of great results. Under
that head com the stocks owned
and controlled by Jim Butler, the
father OF Tonopah. Mr.. Butler, hav-
ing been personally interviewed by
one Of the firm expressed himself as
being very sanguine on the showing
made by the Tonopah Gold Mountain
Mining company. W. are able tt
reach some Of this stock at Is cents
Another bargain at prevailing prices
is United Tonopah.
Don't overlook Goldfeldl Mr.
Lockhart has just made the most re
markable strike known in that dis
trict in the Florence.
Another thing we want to impress
upon the speculative public that our
source OF Information is unexcellet
by any broker in Tonopah; we ar,
constantly in touch with parties 'il
the know" and can assure all GU
clients the full benefit Of our investi
cations.
VIZ mentioned Tonopah Extension
some weeks ago and got in as usua
at bedrock. The stock Is unquestion
ably closely held and an immediat
rise, based on merit, can take plac,
at any moment. Give US orders ant
make money. We quote Tonopal
, Extension at so cents.
In conclusion we strongly advisI
, the purchase OF Midway and Belmon
and think them the best buys in thI
camp at the prices now prevailing.
