Arrested in Tonopah.

johnson, the man who jumped in a
well here last week and performed a
number of other insane acts which re-
suited in his being locked up, started
out for Tonopah Tuesday with horse
and wagon belonging to the Goldfield
dairy without having taken the trouble
to ask the owners permission. The To-
nopah officials were notified and John
son was taken in custody and brought
back from there last night by Constable
O'Toole. No charge has been placed
against Johnson as yet but it is probable
that he will BE- sent to Hawthorne to be
examined ~ to his sanity.

FIRST 0aE-STEALING CASE.
Carried Away Trunk Full Of Combi.
nation Rock.

noAaOn RuChs
John Sheridan, miner who formerly
word for the Combination company,
is in Jail here charged with stealing ore
from that company to the value of
about $500. The specific charge is
grand larceny on which he will have a
preliminary examination next week.
Sheridan's is he first ore stealing case
of the camp which has been traced to an
arrest and the evidence is strong against
him.
Last Friday Sheridan left on the
stage for Tonopah, having as baggage a
large trunk and two valises. Suspicion
that all was not right was aroused when
the stage left from the f:ct that the
services of several men were required to
lift the trunk on the stage. This incl
dent was remarked by bystanders and
tbC tuiIlOI WIS SODIl III
town that a man had gone out on the
stage with trunk full of stolen ore.
Mine owners began to check up to zee
if any Of their lacked ore was missing,
the result being that G. w. Richard, OF
No. 8 lease on the Jumbo and the Com
bination people found that they were
losers several sacks of valuable rock.
From the fact that Sheridan had worked
in the Combination mine the suspicion
was very strong that the ore in his pos
sion was from that mine.
Warrants we're sworon out for Sheri-
dan by both Mr.. Richard and the Combi-
nation company and notice to arrest him
.apd ascertain the contents of the trunk
nd valses was sent to the Tonopah Of
ficers. Bat they received word too late
to catch Sheridan there, he having taken
the first train out. A telegram to stop
Sheridan was sent to Reno, and he was
arrested there when he appeared to
claim his baggage.
Constable Hickey of Tonopah, went to
Reno, and brought Sheridan. the trunks
and valises back. Constable O'Toole,
who was at Hawthorne came on with
them and claimed the prisoner on the
warrants" issued here but for some rea-
son the Tonopah officers decided to hold
Sheridan's preliminary there, which
was done yesterday, the result OF course
being that the Tnnopah officers got their
fees and Sheridan was discharged for
lack of jurisdiction.
Sheridan was turned over to -Consta
ble7O'Toole, who brought him here last
night.
The trunk and yalises were both filled
with ore, weighing 625 pounds and val
ued at about $500, it is stated. Sheri-
had evidently taken his time and sorted
the rock about as closely as was pos
sible.
He claims that he bought the ore from
his employers, but this is little too
fshy for the average jury to believe.
The ore has been positively identified
as coming from the Combination, hay
ing the appearance and peculiar char
acteristics Of the ore which that mine
produces.
The case looks like a bad one for Sher-
dan, with the chances that his expert
ment will result in landing him in
prison for a long term.

The Reilly, Polk and kri-e lease on
the Quartzite Fraction at Diamond6eld
is showing phenomenal richness, having
improved constantly since the original
strike was made two weeks ago. All re-
pots received during the week go to
show that the ore body is one of the
largest and richest in the district. The
crosscut from the 80 foot level is 25 feet
in the ledge and has not cut through it.
Five feet of ore shows in the face and all
OF it goes better than 5000 and is being
sacked. At this rate the Quartzite ranks
we'll up with the banner producers of
the district.
Coldheld Diamond Co.
At meeting Of the board of directors
of the Goldfeld Diamond Mining COM
pany this week it was decided to accept
a proposition made to them to let two
Leases on its claims where some rich
paintings were made. This of itself is
very strong evidence. of the mineral val
ues Of those claims. The company's g
claims are well located and are surrounded
by rich producers.
The company will within few days
begin active development work on its
own account.
vsrnal No. 2.
In the Welch-Cronin.lease on the Yer
nal No. 2 rich ore is being stopped from
the drift on the Sc. foot.level.
Note6 Of the Eines.
Yesterday-it was reported that strike
had been made on the Lucky Strike
Fraction on Banner mountain, =sbut the
report could not be verified further than
that the owner of the. claim had re-.
ceived returns Of $297 on an assay.

The Great Bend.

At Il point 200 feet west of the Gold
field Great Bend Mining company's in
cline shaft, ore Of shipping value has
been encountered. Late returns from
samples taken in surface cut at that
point give values of $l72SO and $24O.S0
per ton and further work to determine
its extent along--the strike of the vein is
in progress. Since resuming work un-
der the direction of the newly incorpor-
ated company more attention has been
given to surface prospecting and it is be-
ing demonstrated that in addition to the
ores of shipping value strong shoot OF
milling grade lies along the hanging
wall. Air pipe has been received from
Tonopah and with proper ventilation
crosscutting theaavein on the. IS foot level
will be pushed.

The shaft has reached the 5O-foot level
and crosscutting was begun Wednesday.
The ledge that the shaft was started on
dipped out at about II feet from the sur
face. Stringers coming into the shaft
from this ledge assay as high as $12S per
ton. The management expects to cut
the ledge about 80 feet from the shaft
and high values are anticipated.

Jumbo.

Though there is nothing startling nd
new in the way of strikes on the great
Jumbo it is maintaining its lead as the
banner producer of the camp. The ac-
emulation of sacked ore is being sent
out as rapidly as possible but there is
enough ON hand to keep the available
teams busy for weeks to come.
There are all sorts of rumors relating
to the extension of leases on the Jumbo
but nothing authentic can be ascer-
tained.

DAILY AN ELEPHANT.
One of the White Kind That Labor
 Would Get Rid of.

It was said to-day that at the regu- lar meeting of the Central Labor union tonight, the chairman, John T. Daily, will be asked few pertinent questions by one OF two members. Ac- cording to the bylaws, one must be an active worker at his trade to be eligible to membership i'll the organiza- tion, and as MT Daly Is not buffer and polisher at the present time there appears to be doubts as to his right to belong to the Central Labor union. Anyway, very strong feeling has grown up against MT Daly in Water bury. so much so that men who thought he was just right some time ago and could not speak too highly of him have changed their minds and now don't go behind theNdoor to state that Daily is an elephant on the labor unions of this town and that the soon. CT organized labor sees this and says so the better for all concerned. But Daily has yet to be reckoned with and the people who assisted in making him what he is, or has been at least. a man welding almost autocratic power, will find that it is no easy matter to snatch authority from king and re- turn it intact to those who bestowed it on him. Until quite recently Mir Daily was power in a certain set, and there is no reason why he should not have continued to hold his grip, and probably be useful, too, if he hadn't forgotten that even great leaders have their limitations. But there is nothing wonderful about this whole matter anyway. Mir Daily has not committed any crime. The worst thing alleged against him is that he didn't pan out to be the kind of man some se fo& &1ei l,sv they want to build wall which will keep him and them apart.
 Aside from the triumph of the re- publicans at the polls last week. noth- ing could have tickled the disabilities of the republican managers more than the rumpus they kicked up on the other side. .Why. besides licking you fellows we got you fighting among yourselves, and in this way we have made some strides towards winning the next city election remarked one of the republicans ill discussing the matter so that it seems some folks think there is a merry war on i'll the democratic camp. while almost all the democrats are at peace with each other and are simply wondering how it happened, and have not yet got to thinking out plans to avoid similar catastrophe in the future. g-
 But the question so far as it per. tains to MT Daly has more sides than one. His friends claim that ill work ing for the populists he did not ex. ceed his rights no more than other union men did who gave their strength to candidates of other parties. This has the ring of truth and when one looks at it that way all he can say is that Mir Daly's mistake, if he made any. would not warrant action being taken against him in the Central Labor union. The talk of such a thing sim ply gives emphasis to the old saying that it does not pay the leader of a great labor movement to be prominent in politics, for no matter how honest his motives may be he is bound to tread on somebody's corns and in the end weaken whatever power he ha0 for good among his associates.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Decsy Telegram Seat Frsm Bosten to
 Catch Unwary Han.

A case of highway robbery reported to the authorities of the towns of East Haven with details of serious and mysterious character. took place Saturday evening near Short Beach. in the town of Branford. when H. D. Curtiss of 412 Elm street, East Haven, was beaten nearly to death by one or two men who waylaid him on the road on his way to the office of the Tidewater Trap Rock Co of Branford, of which he is superintendent.
 The mysterious part of the case is centered in the ''decoy" telegram which was sent from Boston by Henry s Adams, director of the Trap Rock Co. dated Boston, which purported to be request to Mir Curtiss to meet him at the office Saturday evening. It was whiG on his way to the office that Mir Curtiss was waylaid. The story of the assault comes through Dr Hoi- brook, who succeeded in getting few words from the injured man before he became unconscious. His story relat- ed the telegram incident and the as sault by two men. One, Mir Curtiss said. who waylaid him took $1OO from his clothes and his overcoat. The bill book was found yesterday morning near the scene of the assault, torn to shreds while the overcoat was soiled with mud, and disclosed that he had been roughly handled.
 Added to the mystery of the assault on MT Curtiss Saturday night is the story now recalled of the sudden death of Melvin Johnson member of the Track Rock Co some IS months ago. He was found clinging to a tree on East Rock in an early hour of thu morning. with wrecked bicycle near. The man died A hours later. Mir Johnson was succeeded by Mir Curtiss in the East Haven office
 Deputy Sheriff. Bradley of Guilford called upon Superintendent of the State Police Thomas P. Eagan of to take charge. of the case at 2:3O o'clock yesterday morn ing. Superintendent Hagen said last night that he might come to New Ha- ven to take hand in the inyestiga- ton today. The New Haven detect ives are interested in the case, but as it is outside of their jurisdiction they can give little attention to it.
