That Goldfield will have big celebra-
ton on the Fourth is now assured. The
different committees have worked faith
fhlly and the result is that everything
will be in readiness for a big time on
Goldfeld's first Fourth of July. The
News has been asked to mention several
of the committees for especially good
work, but when nearly all Including tn :
ladies' worked so hard and well. it will
probably be best to single none out for
special mention. The townsite company
and business men are cleaning up Nam
street and Manager Barnes of the water
company will see that it is thoroughly
wet down to prevent dust during the
parade and races.
The contest for Goddess of Liberty
was a spirited one and closed Tuesday
night amid great interest. The band pro-
vided music during the evening and each
worked hard for his or her favOrite can
didate The judges were Mesdames Fes
Ter, Elliott and Towley, and Messrs j. B.
De Lafontaine and Claude Inman. On
counting the votes the result was an
nounced as follows:
Miss Minnie White : .......... 1892
Miss Edith Linton .... ...=..... 164
Miss Nettle Phillips. .... 3I5
Miss White will therefore be the God
dess, Miss Linton will represent Nevada
and MISS Phillips will represent Gold
field.
Different teams are practicing for the
drilling contest aud it promises to be a
lively affair. In addition to the prizes
offered by the committee. Casey Il Arden,

WONDERFUL RICH ORE
Found in the .Jumbo---Good Strikes in
Other Properties.

With reports of strikes of fabulouisly
rich ore in several parts of the country,
the writer enters with trepidatioD upon
the Jumbo. Mining men have found the
stories of rich strikes untrue SO often that
they can hardly be blamed for being
heard of Goldfield, but hundreds have
come in and found the actualities twice
as great as the press reports sent out
from this place. However, if they find
things twice as good as reported this
week find of solid pure gold will have
to be made.
On the Vermilyea e. Bartlett lease ore
was found this week which assayed
S25I, ,44O.55 to the ton-a little less
than half pure gold. That was only a
specimen. of course, but Monday after
noon Mr.. Vermilyea chiseled ont at least
50 5000 worth of ore from Il streak y
inches w!de. A piece of the hard rock a
short distance from this rich streak as
sayed $6,243 per ton. Mr. Eermilyea is
a lawyer good one-and he gets big
fees, but his work with the chisel is now
more remuneratlve.
The Kernck and Bowes' lease has "A
carload shipment ready which will go
at least SSl2U0 per ton. Out of a hole on
this lease. SX6X4 feet, at least $4,000
worth of ore was taken out. The north
drift at the 50-foot level has feet of rich
ore and other portions of the workings
have lots of $50 to 500 ore.
On the Richard and Cowing lease
there are 20 feet of ore in the west drift
which will go above 8 50 per ton. 1t is
reported, but not verified. that Geo.
Cowiug has sold his one-fourth interest
in this lease, which runs but four
months, for 5000 cash.

This has been good week for the

good strikes having been made. Graham

on the Daisy and feet across the ledge
assays on an average Ss26l to the ton. A
specimen assay went $l,939.61. This
strike had scarcely been made when one
was made by G.. j. We sh ON the Vernai,
which is even better. The ledge here is
a little over feet wide and the whole is
shipping ore. A streak foot wide along
the hanging wall will average $500 or
$500 per ton and many of the specimens
show plenty of visible gold. On We'd

Again On Stand.

Georgetown, Colo, jan William
Bate, the former president of the
Idaho Springs miners union who was
the chief witness for the state in the
Sun and Moon dynamiting case was
on the stand again today. On the
cross examination a repeated state
ment was made that there was a COM
mittee of safety provided for by the
union to run non union men out of
town but when questioned closely by
Attorney Richardson for the defense,
he admitted that he had empowered a
member to appoint committee but
only knew from hearsay that action in
that respect had been taken. He told
of remark made in the meeting by
Secretary Chandler to the effect that
it took three months to get rid of Col
lines" after the court had overruled
the objection of the attorney for the
defense. Collins, who was the man
ager of a mine in Telluride where the
labor troubles have been frequent,
was assassinated.
