ANOTHER WEEKS PROGRESS
No Letup in the Development Of Goldelds Richesumbo
January and Sandstorm All Looking Fine.

The toot of the whistle of the January's steam
hoist sounded good yesterday, for it means that
this young bonanza will be doubling and
tripling it's present output. The vertical shaft
has been timbered, the guides will be in and
the engine and hoist working tomorrow or Sun
day. During the week the lessees have been
ping up ore under ground, only hosting what
could be handled through the old incline shaft
The shipping is increasing in value, the
average of the screenings on Wednesday being
SI2SI per ton. The most valuable carload
yet shipped from the January went out this
week, and will net the company $4,000 or
more. Every portion of the mine is looking
well, but 2-foot streak found in the II2-foot
level, it is said, will nearly equal in value the
bonanza ore of the Kernick & Bowes' lease on
the Jumbo. The development of this streak
will be watched with interest.
Lessees and their employees getting thick
fleas on the Jumbo and while developments
highly satisfactory, they are nothing like
stated in an unreliable paper of Tonopah. On
the Kernick and Bowes lease the ledge has
been crosscut, but at the point opened, the val
ues, while good, are not of sensational nature.
Drifting both ways has commenced, and it is
confidently believed that when the rich shoot is
caught on its dip, the values will be good
found near the surface.

Harvey shaft, which is down 100 feet and in

up. Curtis and Ridge will install a gasoline
hoist and will start new working shaft which
will afterwards be connected with the old one.
They will put on all the room be
found for. Sid Carey is in charge
On the Richard & Cowng lease they are still
drifting. The values getting better, but
they have yet 20 or 80 feet to go to catch the

interest in this lease to Vermilyea & Bartlett
for So, 900 cash. He also sold one-sixteenth in
terest in the Kernick and Bowes lease for
$4,000 to the same parties. When small inter
ests in leases running but five months sell for
SIl 900, it shows how valuable the Jumbo is
considered by those who are best posted.
Two shifts on the Vermilyea & Bartlett lease
sunk the Shaft 81 feet in days. Crosscuttipg
for the ledge started yesterday. The porphyry
pans well, but there is no "strike of great val
ue," as reported in Tonopah.

definite particulars have been hard to obtain 1t :
is known however, That they have 2 to Id inches
of ore that goes from $3.50 to $4,000 Fer ton.
The strike made a ledge, and it is
probable that it will prove one of the big ones
of the district.

Burns says that if he can make arrange

mill from Tuscarora and have it in running
order in Goldfield within six weeks. As
nothing is needed more badly in this
camp than a mill to treat custom ores. it
is to be profoundly hoped that the lucky
lessee will be able to make satisfactory
arrangements with those who have water

Jumbo and Vernal Extension.

The phenomenal strikes and conse-

have within the week directed more than
passing attention to the Gold Wedge
claim, lying four hundred feet to the
north Of the main shaft and directly on
the trend of the umbo ledge. and owned
by the Jumbo IL Vernal Extension Min
lug company.
Owing to these conditions, and the fur
ther fact that a leading parsonage III the
minin. world gives it as his opinion that
the Gold Wedge carries at least 1000 feet
of the Jumbo ledge. the ground has
been much sought after by leasers. and
the whole claim leased to W. s. Lieben

His Books ComDleted.

Tax Assessor Bullard came to the
city Wednesday bringing his tan
books for the year 1904 in his usual
neat and tasty make up. Mr.. Bull
lard usually has his books before the
county commissioners at the regular
meeting OF the board in October,
but he has been delayed this year
until now owing to extra work
thrown upon him by the state
comptroller.
There are some items from these
tax books that will interest readers
For instance, there are 424, 2O2 acres
of realty taxed, of which amount TO-
3S3 acres are improved. The aggre-
gate value of realty is l,457 $50, on
which the tax levy is IA mills. The
total of state tax, to be collected is
$lO,S3O, 12; total county tax, S27 ,076, 30.
There are 1916 poll taxes assessed,
and the special school tax in three
country school districts amounts to
1856. ~. The total assessment of
railroad and telegraph lines in the
county is 1923, $40. The total tax to
be collected, including realty, rail
roads and telegraph. personal, polls
and sub-school district is $39,4l7, IA.

Sunday Mornings Blaze.

The old fashioned cottage opposite
the Hotel Saratoga furnished some
excitement last Sunday morning.
The roof caught fire in two places,
presumably from sparks, and ac-
quired the measure of a good-sized
blaze before it was discovered and
the fire department could rush to the
rescue, when the flames were quick
Iy put out,
There was a laughable incident at
this fire, A private citizen, anxious
to be of use, climbed to the roof; the
hose was thrown to him and when
the water was turned on he began
playing it on the fire. One of the
firemen didn't like this and COM
manded the man to come down. He
didn't come. Then the fireman
yanked him off the roof with the
hose. The private citizen was nor
injured bv his fall. He rushed at
the fireman and struck him blow.
Then the fireman turned the hose
on the private citizen and chased
him from the scene. In the mean
time the fire ragged and the specta-
tors laughed. After the private citi-
zen episode the fireman easily put
out the fire.
Good thing. Palatka could lily
afford to loose this house. Old though
it is, it is well kept and makes an ac-

The Carnival A Fake.

That the Jacksonville carnival is
the rankest kind of fake is at
tested by scores of returning visitors
from Palatka. If other evidence is
needed our readers are directed to
the following from the Florida Sun,
published in the carnival city.
Every train is bringing in crowds
of the unheeced. They don't know
what they are coming to. But while
crowds are coming to the Carnival,
crowds are also leaving. A clerk of
a prominent hotel told the Sun this
morning that his rooms had been
filled since Monday with a party
that registered for the week. They
were disappointed. They had come
to see something that they didn't
see. They expected something that
they didn't get They had been told
that the Jacksonville Carnival would
be a reproduction of the st. Louis
exposition. They didn't really eX-
pect this But they did EXPECT
something more than a cheap circus
performance. When they couted up
the tens and twenties they had spent
for the privilege of seeing a clown
walk a tight rope and a man in tights
slide down a chute on bicycle, they
went out the back alley and hired Il
man to kick them hard, and paid
him for the service.
This Wednesday, mOrHing a boot
ing, bowling mob of young hood
lums, all of them of and above age,
blocked the sidewalk in front of
Furchgott's store on the corner of
Bay and Main streets and insulted
women who passed by sticking foul
smelling busters in their faces and
throwing confetti in their hair, eyes
and mouths.
Women of innate modesty, women
of refinement, delicate women and
all women without protection were
subjected to this violence. N
The proceeding was one of unmiti-
gated impotence. 1t was one of
brigandish license. 1t was an insult
that would have been resented sum
marily by any man in company with
Il woman who suffered it.
People stood on the curbstones
and looked on in swelling anger.
No policeman was in sight. The
mob of ruffians was larger than they
that looked upon the proceeding, 1t
would have precipitated Il riot if any
step had been taken by the bystaud
erS to stop it.
