Serious Accident.

Tom Painter and man named Dickey
met with serious accident while driv-
ing Judge Collins team from the wood
camp yesterday morning. In addition
to the load of wood the driver was also
"loaded" and about seven miles from
town the team ran away and both men
were thrown out. Dickey's leg was
badly broken between the knee and an
kle, the bone being forced through the
flesh. He bore the intense pain like a
stole and even pushed the bone back
into place. Painter suffered no broken
bones but was badly bruised. The team
and wagon, which Judge Collins had re-
Gently bought, were badly done up.

EVIDENCES OF PROGRESS
Scores Of Buildings Being Erected Ali
Over Town.

Notwithstanding the difficulty expert
enced in obtaining all the necessary lum-
ber, the building of substantial frame
business and residence structures keeps
about every carpenter in the camp busy.
1t likewise keeps contractors figuring.
A tour over the camp reveals the fact
that a genuine building boom prevails,
and that Goldfeld is growing rapidly in
population.
Inquiries among contractors and
builders developed an exceedingly lively
state of affairs. AS an instance, J. W.
Halterman has contracts for the erection
of more than half dozen buildings, de-
tailed as follows: The new Goldfield
hotel for Elliott and others; 12x4O
building for w. l.. Wilson on the
Lind 4 Collins lot adjoining THE News

TON WALSH OF CAMP BIRD
Aiulti-Millionaire Has Been Attracted
by Wealth Of Col3field,

Thomas +, Walsh, who deNeioped the
Camp Bird mine OF Ouray, Colo, and
later sold it to an English syndicate for
s. 100000, accompanied by his right
hand man, John w. Benson, arrived in
camp Monday night and has made a
careful inspection oi the district. Mr..
Walsh did not care to talk fOr publica-
tion, but it is known that through rep
resentatives he has taken an option on
one or more properties. It is also known
that he, like all good mining men who
have been here, is very favorably i'm
pressed with the showing. Mr.. Walsh
feels that it is yet to be determined
whether or not the values go down be-
low 2SO feet, which is the deepest shaft
in camp, but there is every indication
that they will, and even should they
not, it will still be great camp. Mr..
Walsh, like David Keith, was very much
pleased with the Red Top as well as the
older producers.
Since acquiring his Wealth Mr.. Walsh
a.
princely entertainers, their banquets
both in Paris and in this country being
given with splendor which precluded
the possibility OF considering the cost.
The King of Belgium is chose friend of
Mr.. Walsh's and is associated with him
in mining enterprises. During the late
republican convention he gave an elab-
orate banquet whirh was attended by
100 L. S. senator's, members of the
house, and men prominent in the affairs
Of the country.
On Tuesday evening he gave a ban
euet at the Merchants Hotel, Columbia,
to party of friends which was thor
oughly enjoyed by all present.

Daisy No. 2.

On the Daisy No. 3 Graham Bros. and
associates are down 35 feet and have 4
feet of ore, an average assay from which
went $670 to the ton. From streak II
inches wide an average assay went $500
to the ton, but it is not thought the
whole shoot will go this high. The les
sees will probably soon make a carload
shipment and we will then see what the
ore runs in carload lots. Sears, Bjorn,
Lanka and McGal'iard are sinking on
the ledge where they recently opened up
good ore.

The January.

The same old steady gait, with the
usual good results, is being kept up at
the January. Shipping ore is being
taken out from each of the three levels
At the 2O0-foot level the ledge has been
crosscut for 20 feet. The shipping ore
at this level averages 5000 per ton. The
high grade ore shoot has also been en-
countered in the south drift in the 112-
foot level. 1t has been arranged to treat
the mill ore in the new Combination
mill when it is completed.

The Jumbo

With the exception of the Ridge and
Curtis lease, which was shut down for
several days by injunction Of the court,
the different lcssces on the Jumbo have
been making the usua, production OF
rich ore during the week.
The best news is from the Bowes and
Kernick lease where the rich ore shoot
has been tapped at both the 100 and $50
foot levels. 1t is said that at these
levels the ore goes 1854 per ton, but the
amount of this grade of ore has not been
given out. That it has been found as
deep as $50 feet is added proof that the
Jumbo will he one of the big money
makers of the world. Bowes and ker-
nick made two shipments during the
week and there are c5 tons of high grade
ore on THE dump.
The Mcdonald and Fuller lease now
have 35 tons Of rich ore sacked and will
soon make a shipment.
] On the Richard 4 company lease
they have started to sink the shaft to a
depth of 100 feet. Good ore is being
stopped from the 50-foot level and a
shipment OF liz tons went out this
week, while % tons yet remain on the
dump.
Mr.. Vermilyea is again back in active
charge Of the Nermilyea and Bartlett
lease and has started crOsscutting to the
ledge at the IUO-foot point. The last
assay taken across 20 inches in the
raise from the 50-ioot level gave returns
of $l4S4 per ton.
On the Zinn lease they are drifting
both ways at the l0o-foot level, but have
not as yet got the rich ore shoot. AT
the 50-foot level they are still taking out
/ $400 to $500 ore and made carload
| shipment Wednesday.
The Ridge and Curtis lease was closed
down for nearly week owing to dis
agreement among the owners. The in
junction secured against them has been
raised and it is probable that the whole
affair will be amicab'y settled.
