Nevada

Manganese is one of the minerals
produced in Nevada but not gener-
ally known even to those well posted
on the resources Of the state. The
Siegel Consolidated Mining company
has for some time been shipping to
the Salt Lake smelters r running
As per cent manganese, 100 ounces
silver and So in gold per ton. The
mines are located at Siegel, Lincoln
county, and are developed by two
shafts and a tunnel exposing large
bodies of ore blocked out which is
hauled 100 miles to the nearest rail
way point but the output is greatly
restricted by the scarcity OF teams.
Manganese SO to SO per cent fine is
quoted at 70 cents per pound in the
New York market and IS in constant
demand for the manufacture of man
gauese steel and bronze plates which
are impervious to the action Of sea
water and are therefore largely used
in shipbuilding.

Insinid Stock.

The Daily Mining Record of Denver
has placed the Adams.G oldfeld Min.
ing company on its "Insipid Stock
List" because latter repeated efforts
and some correspondence, we are I'M
able to secure from the management
of this company any statement con
corning it's financial and physical
condition. We are, therefore, plac-
ing its name in our Insipid Stock
List. The principal office is at Ton
opah. This stock is listed on the
San Francisco exchange, which
makes it the more remarkable that
the company does not recognize the
policy of publicity. This exchange
cannot do anything better than to
decline to list such shares" This is
probably owing to an oversight on
the part OF the directors, or possibly
the letters may have been addressed
to Tonopah, whereas the %company's
Office is now at Goldfeld, and H. I.
Bragdon, the secretary, has at all
times been most ready to make pub
lie all reasonable information about
, the mines with which he is connected.

Murder in First Degree.

AT Reno Saturday on the first bal
lot the jury i~mpaneled to try SEWER,
German and Roberts, three of the
men who killed Jack Welch near
Lovelock, brought in a verdict Of
murder in the first degree. Judge
Curler set Saturday, November 10th
as the date for sentence. His only
power is to sentence the men to
death. There now seems to be no
chance for them to defeat the ends
of justice. Williams, the remaining
and undoubtedly the worst of the
quartette OF murderers, yet remains
to be tried. This is the second tria.
OF the accused men, and the two
trials have so far cost the state o.
Nevada nearly $4,000, and the cos
of Williams trial will probably ado
another $40, 600 to this amount.

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAF
NEEDS.

Now that the political campaign is
over the citizens of Tonopah should
find time to attend to some of the
crying needs of Tonopah which must
be faced sooner or later. One OF the
most urgent of these is increased
school accommodation and as the
question applies to a large number
Of our citizens it is well that some
steps were instituted to remedy the
existing state of affairs. The present
school house is admittedly too small
to accommodate the one hundred and
sixty scholars now in daily attend
ance and with that number constantly
increasing, the overcrowded condi-
tions are decidedly unhealthy. Either
the present school house must be en-
larged or a new school house built,
and the citizens should bring this
matter forcibly before the county
commissioners, and insist that a suffi
cient sum be appropriated to provide
more accommodation and more teach
ers that the coming generation Of
Tonopah may be properly educated
in commodious and not overcrowdeC
school rooms. But if the county
commissioners have not the power t.
provide these funds, it is the duty o
the senator and assemblymen of NY
county to bring the matter befor,
the legislature and secure the neces
sary appropriation.
One other matter urges itself upoI
the notice OF property owners in thi
town, that is the growing danger 0
destruction from fire which is Away
greater in winter time than in sum
mer. Last June shortly after th
disastrous fire on Upper Main stree
the citizens seemed to awake to thi
danger and discussed ways and mean
for providing fire protection. Owe
81, 200 we're promised for this pul
pose and a considerable sun c~ollecte
with which a hook and ladder outf
was purchased, and this with til
hose cart presented by Charles Kno
and the hose donated by John Nj
Kane gives the department a ver
fair equipment, but chemicals shou
be supplied for the chemical engin,
and not for lack of them leave the
useless as was the case at last Mo
days fire. One other matter, stel
should be taken Immediately to bui
a proper house to shelter the engine
carts and fire fighting appliances /
stead OF leaving them exposed to Il
elements in the street, then VIII,
the Rye Patch water system Civ
us a big force OF water, which shou
be before Christmas, with addition
hoseing the fire department will

from fire.

THE GHRHANIA
BREWERY.

The GeImauia Brewery, Fr,nt street,
which has brewed beer for two gen.
erations and whose history extends
back beyond the memory of our Oldest
inhabitants in all proba bihty will be

Foust Bros, the present owners, have
decided to tear down the structure aud
to rebuild along more modern lines.
Stone has already been delivered at the
spot aud the work OF razing the old
building may begin at any day,
The brewery is rambling wooden
structure one story high. 1t is com
posed of different sections huilt Mt
different times and as result the gen
eral plan of the building is not az all
! in harmony with modern ideas and in
! terferes with the progress OF work. A
good deal of the aoor space can he put
to no practical use whatever, while at
several of tie parts occupied the quar-
ters are exceedingly oramped.
The plans for the nav building show
a brick structure eighty-feet by thirty
six feet. The building will be two
stories high with the exception Of the
central portion which will rise to q
height of three stories
The third story will be utilized as &
place for storing the malt, while the
matt mill, which is now on the Rro1nC
floor, will be kept on the second story
In the new building the fermentinG
room which is now In the cellar, vii
be on the first floor This is consider
ed a very important change, one whicl
will insure a greater degree Of purity
in the product. Other portions of th'
first floor will be used for cold stor
age. etc. The building will bo laid
with a concrete or cement floor anC
iron pillars will be used for interna
support.
In rebuilding it is not the intentio,
TO discontinue brewing. The propriet
ors have plan by which they believ'
they will be enabled to put up thei
new building without any delay o
loss to their business.

AGED LADY
FOUND dead.

Mrs Adam Kreighbaum, sister of
Aaron Sober, this city, was found
dead in her home near Snydertown
Friday evening. The sudden death
caused much surprise, as Mrs. Kreigh-
baum was apparently in excellent
health when last seen alive, which was
the day before.
The decreased, who was sGyenty-two
years of age, lived alone on farm
about midway between Klinesgroye
and Snydertown. Thursday morning
Mrs. Hepner. a daughter of Mrs.
Krighbaum, who lives about quarter
of a mile distant, went to the home of
her mother and found her in good
health and spirits. Mrs. Hepner re-
turned to her own home about noon
going to see her mother again Friday
afternoon, when she found her dead
body lying on the kitchen floor near
the door.
According to indications the wo-
man had been dead some hours, as the
body was cold and rigid. All the
doors we're unlocked and the fires in
all the stoves wero out. The suppoSi'
tion is that Mrs. Kreighbaum was d
victim of heart trouble and fell over
dead some time early on Thursday
evening when she was about to CLOSE

FLEW TO PIECES.

at the rate Of 1l74 revolutions per min
ute exploded in the laundry at the
Hospital for the Insane Monday at
teruoon badly iniuring an employe and

not moment, warming. with re-
port As ioul as a cannon the machine
flew into hundred fragments.
Standing close by at the time was
G. A. Stevens of the Troy Laundry
Machine Company, and Thomas Cripps,
the washer, who was i'll a STOPPING
posture, sorting clothes. Mr.. Stevens
stood behind heavy iron washer,
which acted as a shield. and he escAp-
ed without a scratch. Mr.. Cripps,
| however, was struck on the side and
shoulder by piece of iron over foot
in length and knocked PROSTATE on the
floor.
One of the employees quickly shut
off the steam, while others ran to the
assistance of the injured man. The
latter was given over to the care of
DR.. Smith, when all hands returned to
the laundry, where scene of destTuc-
tion presented itself
The extractor had literally flown to
pieces. Two washers which stood near
by were wrecked beyond repair, while
a lot of the other machinery was bad
! ly injured. There was not an employe
J in tho building but had hair breadth
escape among the flying missiles, which
not only played havoc among the
machinery but also riddled the wind
ows and bombarded the ceiling.
Dr. Smith after an examination gave
it as his opinion that Mr.. Cripps had
sustained no broken bones. although
he was very badly bruised and suffer
ed much from the shock.
