Runaway Accident.

On Tuesday evening while Ross Wood
ward was on his way to the powder house,
driving J. ID. Lothrop's team, the horses
became frightened and started to touch
the ground only iD the high places. Ross
stayed with them until he saw quite a
high bluff ahead of him, and as he had
no desire to occupy coffin, around
which bis friends would circle and say,
poor fellow, don't he look natural ?" he
thought it time to jump. The horses
kept on and were finally stopped at the
lower end of town. One of the horses
was bruised slightly, but otherwise there
was little damage.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC VISITOR
Wires His Home Papers Of the Great
ness Of COldfield.

VIM. l.. Wilson, secretary and treas
urer of the Rocky Mountain Securities
Company of Denver, Colo, was in camp
for few days this week and left for his
home thoroughly enthused over the
showing of the district. So delighted
as he with the situation that he sent
long kilograms to the Daily Mining Rec
ord, Denver, and the Mining Investor,
Colorado Springs. In reply from the
latter he received the following:
''Go in, old man; get something good.
We agree Goldfeld and onopah great
est on earth. SACHS AND TARBELL."
Mr. Wilson has bought number of
claims from w. S. Williams and will in
corporate company to operate the same.
He is one of the heaviest advertisers in
the business and will doubtless make the
name of Goldfield better known than it
is at present. Mr. Wilson has appointed
as representative of his company, j.
Faulkner, first class miner who has
had charge of numerous good properties
in Colorado.

Slight Changes in Subscription Rates.

In making the subscription rates for
The GoLl FIELD News, the editor con
formed to local custom. even though he
knew at the time they were inconsistent
in a few minor particulars. He did not
wish to do anything which looked like
cutting prices because, in the main, the
rates established by the Tonopah papers
are low enough. But the monthly and
three months rate are not consistent
with the price of single copies bought at
tue office or ON the street. The rate for
three months subscription was $l.5O,
while if bought by the week the paper
for that time would cost but ST. 30. A
similar disproportion exists in the month
ly rate. he reason, doubtless, for fix
ing those rates was to make even money,
but it has caused some dissatisfaction
and to obviate this The News in future
will make the subscription rate for. three
months $l25 and for one month 40
cents Those who have already paid will
have their subscription extended on the
books to conform with the new rates.
We are glad to do this, not only because
it is right and consistent, but because we
wish to do everything possible to increase
our already large subscription list. One
regular subscriber on the books is worth
more than two Office or street sales.

On Wednesday evening party, con
sisting of Mesdames Hilton, Darcy, Nc
Galliard, Heslip, Miss Nettie Phillips,
and Messrs Fesler, Dunn, Phillips and
Leil, drove over to the residence of H. 0.
Hall, one mile east of Milltown, to spend
the evening. A pleasant evening was
passed and at 10. 80 the party prepared to
return home. every one apparently In
their usual health.
Just as she was about to go out of the
house, Mrs. Hilton suddenly tainted and
later went into commissions. She was ten
derly cared for and few moments later
Miss Phillips started to leave the room.
AS she neared the door, she turned around
to look at Mrs. Hilton, when she, too,
tainted. In falling she struck on the
back of her head with great force and it
is possible that concussion of the brain
has resulted.
Mrs Hilton was brought home about
o'clock in the morning, but Miss Phillips,
who was in more serious condition, was
not brought over until 6 o'clock DIR.
Wittke was called and later DR.. Garner,
of Tonopah, was sent for, and at last re-
ports both ladies, while in critical con
dition, were in fair way to recover.
The sympathy of the entire community
goes out to both ladies. and especially to
Miss Phillips, who has been the victim of
several accidents and serious illnesses in
the past year.
