LUMBER COMING IN.
Building Will Soon Again Be in Full
Sway.

Lumber is again coming in and the
sound of the carpenters hammers,
which has been practically silenced for
weeks, will soon again be heard in Gold
field and the other towns OF the district.
Yesterday the Goldfield Lumber COM
pany's big twenty-five mule team
headed procession OF lumber carry
ing wagons-siX teams in all reach
ing town during the afternoon and
bringing in total of about 10000 feet
OF lumber. Two Of the teams brought
lumber for Williams & Trabert
All of this quantity OF lumber was de-
livered to waiting customers without
being unloaded at the yards and still
only few could be supplied with what
they wanted. Enough was received,
however, so the building operations
could be resumed and from now on
enough will probably be received to
keep the boom moving. More teams
with lumber arrived today and it is be-
ing delivered in Tonopah by the railroad
company as rapidly as possible. A mill
lion feet are said to be on the road be.
tween Mound House and here.

Jumped into a Well.

A slightly eccentric and greatly inc
briated individual named Johnson, as 4
climax to week of idotic street actions,
jumped into an abandoned well on South
Main street last Sunday evening. The
act was observed by several people and
the well was seaal the center of an eX-
citc1 throng. A rope was quickly low
cred and Johnson, wet as Il drowned
rat was drawn to the surface. He wasn't
injured in the least by the Is foot jump
and there was only enough water in the
we'll to give him partial bath.
Next evening johnson, drunk as u.s.
ual, was arrested and locked up. The
officers intended to send him to Haw-
thorne, to DE examined as to his sanity
but finally turned him loose after his
several days stay in Jail had s0bered
him up.

DOWN THE CANYON.
Two Cripple Creek Scabs Notified to
Leave.

Lewis Rope and Erdley Akern, who
claimed to be from II Pase, took the
route down the canyon last Saturday
after having received notice from COM
mittee of the Miners UniJn that their
koresence here was very undesirable.
Rope and Akern came in on the stage
Z that day and had hardly alighted when
they we're recognized as notorious Grip
tple Greek scabs. This recognition re-
suited in their plans being quickly
changed. They were waited upon by a
committee of tile union and questioned,
the result being that they made COM
plete admission that they had scabbed
in Cripple Creek. They were then noti-
fled to hs'ae and they lost no time in do.
ing so. 1t was difficult matter for
them to get a team but they finally Sc
.cured one, paying $50 for its use, and
struck out for Tonopah only a-few hours
after they landed in Goldfc.d. The
whole proceeding was accomplished qui-
'etly and no force was used.
Rope and Akern were accompanied by
another fellow Who had been working
here and had taken occasion to defy the
local unions and denounce unionism.
He was notsgiven notice to leave but
was gieen to understand that this was
no place for those of his ilk and saw the
force of the hint.
ill three were lined up in sront of the
Miners Union hall and photographed
and their pictures were sent fby the Off
.cals of the local union to Tonopah and
all the surrounding camps, notifying
them of their presence in this section.
Scabs are not wanted in Goldfield and
this incident will probably be a notice
of warning for them to stay away.

But a Deal With Eastern Parties Is
Probable,

j. w. McGaliard has returned from
Bullfrog district, where the recent rich
strike was madef and brings good tidings
for his associates, Messrs. Lanka, Detch,
O'Brien and Frey, who are owners of
the discovery claims. He brought in
fourteen samples of ore which gave an
average assay of $536S. This rock was
taken from across the ore shoot, which
is Az feet wide and has been traced for
a distance of 500 feet.
The report that the owners of the
Bullfrog claims have bonded them is
premature, though it is probable that
such deal will be made In short
time. Yesterday representatives of J..
D. Hubbard, president of the Combina-
ton company, and Mr.. Bagley, Pitts
burg capitalist, left for the district and
if the result OF the examination is salts
factory bond will doubtless be taken
on the property. The valuation placed
ON it by the owners is said to be $780,
900.
.Shorty" Harris, one of the original
locators, has sold his sixth interest to P.
L. O'Brien.
Other parties who arrived during the
week from Bullfrog corroborate the ia
vorable reports which have been re-
ceived and it will doubtless be the CEN
ter of big mining excitement. The
country is said to be located for miles
around where the original strike was
made.
