A SECOND I0N0PAH
Ed Mead Pays $4,000 for
an Option on Nevada Mine

Ed Mead, who was the first of the
Utah contingent to embrace opportun-
tiles held out to it by the recent dis
al option on the Argenta and Inde-
pendence locations. for which he has
obligated humself to pay $4,000 and
upon which he has already made the
initial payment.
Mr.. Mead, who was the first to in
terest Salt Lake investors in the new
d 'ggings. says he has nothing what
ever to retraet from his original story.
While the developments are limited, as
they pertain to the new, the disclosures
in the Nelson group at a depth of
GOO feet upon the dip of the ma n ledge
decides the question of depth quite
conclus.vely Already the camp is be-
ing haunted by representatives of
those who are first in the chase for
honanzas. and com petition is quite ac-
tive. The result is that the price o.
ground has advanced rapidly and it re-
qu.res not a small bank account to
crafty what the average man is seek
ing. The samples of ore with which
Mr.. Mead returned verify all that was
said by him i'm his former statement.
The rock discloses ve.y high values
in silver and while the auricerous con-
tents are no. visible to the naked eye.
the assaver certifies TO values tnat are
almost sensational. Mr. Mead. perhaps.
is more conversant with the geology
of that country and the occurrence
of its ones than is any inhabitant OF
Salt Lake. For many years he was the
resident representative OF one of the
most active comoan'es at Tuscarora,
coveries are at distance OF about for
ty miles. His personal observations
induce him to believe that Mountain
C.ty's claims will respond as surpris-
ingly to intelligent exploration as have
those that have been prosecuted at
TonoDah, New. In his enthusiasm, in
deed, Mr.. Mead says he believes there
is a possibility of making the lodges
there even more productive. Certainly.
assays reveal that the ores are os a
quality as good as those now being
shipped to the smelters of Salt Lake
valley, and that Salt Like talent has
been the first to avail itself of op-
portunities held there is a source of
conGratulation.
In his option on the Argenta and
independence locations NJ. Mead has
been Joined by II. S. Joseph and va
rious other local investors. Energetic
work will begin at once on their
claims. A shaft win be dug as rapidly
as possible. and there is much to fore
tell successful results.-Salt Lake

GETTING READY FOR
THE FOURTH
The Program As Being Ar
ranged Promises to Be the
Best Ever Given Here

An enthusiastic meeting of the
committees was held last evening.
Every member Of the two committees
were present. The finance committee
reported the amount alreaGv collected
on. While the sum has not reached
the figure desired. yet it is sufficient
to guarantee a grand celebration or
the Fourth, as well as on the fifth and
sixth. which will be gwen to horse rae
ing and miners drilling contests.
The most perplex'ng question which
came up last evening was the aport.on-
ment of the funds. After giving the
matter careful consideration. the funds
were distributed as follows. Races.
$6Oo floats. SIS; music. $75: horribles.
$40: athletic sports. 500: drilling con
tests for miners. $50: fireworks. $50.
1t was decided to charge a small
entrance fee to those entering horses
for the different purses. as well as
to those entering in the drilling con-
tests. The fees thus collected VII go
towards putting the track in good con-
dtion and supplying rock for the drill
ing contests.
The races and drilling contests will
take place on the fifth and sixth and
possibly on the seventh.
The committees will meet again this
evening TO further arrange matters.

Ing as much as 1,500 ounces OF silver
with gold values that approximated
the sensational, while nothing into
which he looked but afforded support
to the original conviction that the
camp has foundation for one of the
most productive in the state. In the
acquisition of the Greenback Mr.. John
son and his associates are required to
dig uD no less than s150000 in the ac-
quistion of the properties and will
under the options begin active work
at once. With the camp Mr.. Johnson
is most favorably impressed, and that
he has commended 1t to Mr. Newhouse
will be accepted as conclusive evidence
of its merits. He has no doubt of it's
ultimate productiveness. The Green
feet opened up ore that justifies Mr..
Johnson in recommending an invest
ment of 100000. while for the Kunz
group he and his associates will pay
$4,000. On each of the properties the
initial payment has been made. the
remainder 10 arrive as they mature.
The lodges in the new camp. said Mr..
Johnson. are well defined. the condi
tions, including water and fuel, are
ideal, and with means with which to
prosecute development as it has been
projected there Is no doubt OF results.
1t is known that with Mr.. NewhouSe
is associated some of the most prom
inent mining men in the city. and with
his patronage the camps growth
should be progressive and permanet.
During the visit to it by Mr.. john
son the new mill on the Nelson group
of mines was put into commission on
ores of excellent quality and the re-
suits should soon be most profitable to
Pittsburg interests who have invested
there.

it is talking tonight of forcing Hearst
to accept an Endorsement instead of
an instruced delegation. and. perhaps.
something even less valuable than an
Endorsement.
The fight will open on the question
of the selecting of a temporary chair
man of the convention. The attitude OF
a large number of delegates is an un-
known quantity, even to the managers
in the fight The primaries were held
May 9Th, and now both sides admit
that they are not certain of the exact
number of men they can control The
Harrison men from Cook county, who
are for CongT Tessman Williams for
President, are supposed to number l60.
and they amount to little save in the
possibility of being able to throw the
balance of power in the event of an
even break between the Hearst and
Hopkins factions.
Lawrence r. Springer of Lincoln,
william Prentiss Of Chica"o 90
C. Crolius of Joliet are the leading
cand dates for Governor.
The State Central Committee today
selected Frank p. Quinn of Peoria for
temporary chairman of the convention
and If Hopkins controls the convention
tomorrow his appointment will be
made permanent.
The subcommittee to which was re-
ferred the hearing of contests was
I'm session the & eater part of the
night. The contests were mainly de-
cided In favor of the Hopkins faction
and it is estimated that all told $50
Hopkins delegates will be seated.

BULLION THIEF IN JAIL
He Is Brought Here for Sac
Keeping

Sheriff Clark of Elko brought to
Winnimucca last night Paul Lovelace,
one of the men who stole a lot OF
bullion in Ed-emont last month and
placed the prisoner in the keeping of
Sheriff Lamb.
1t appears that Lovelace has made
threats against his companion in crime.
and it was deemed best to separate
the two.
A petition was forwarded to Govern
or Sparks asking for the removal of
Lovelace from the county ial of Elko
to the county Jail of Humboldt. The
petition was granted By Acting Gov
ernor Lem Allen.
Ross, who assisted Lovelace in the
robbery. not only made a confession TO
the Elko officers, but took them to
the place where the bullion had been
buried.

ago, Bower was known as an excep-
tionally bright and stud.ous officer and
was very popular.
Shortly after the tragic death of
Lieutenant Bower. a guardhouse pris-
oner named John Kelly, or Company

accidental explosion of cartridge. The
shell had been thrown into a garbage

BIG TIGHT POSTPONED
Jeffrie S Knee Still Veal, and

San Francisco. June 15.-James J..
Jeffries and Jack Munroe will not clash
for the heavy weight championship of
the world until Thursday evening. June
30th. The postponement was decided
upon last night by Manager Coffroth
of the Yosemite Club after he had re-
ceived a dispatch from BILLY" Delaney
still bothering him and asking that the
fight be postponed one week at least.
When jeff arose yesterday morning
and started in to work he did not feel
light. The injured knee, while NOT
bad to look upon. was stiff and 1t
bothered the big fellow waen he tired
to exercise. He did no; despair at
first, but tried to go through his stunts

however. the worse the knee got. and
finally he held a consultation with
Trainer Billy" Delaney. The decided
to announce that it would be impossi-
Bile for the champion TO fight before
juno cath.
Delaney communicated with Coff-
10Th and the latter at once decided
to give the champion a few days of
grace and put the date over till June
3Oth. This seemed to meet with the ap-
proval of Monroe's manager. Harry
Pollock. The champion will probably
be satisfied. as a few days rest will
do him good.
I'VE are very sorry that the fight
goes over" said Billy Delaney last
night. "but there is nothing else to be
he will not take any chances or losing
the title he battled hard TO gain and
maintain. 1t is out of the question
for JEFF to enter the ring before the
oath. as his knee is stiff, and rest is
the only remedy for it. We will re-
main at the springs till a day or two
before the fight, so that Jen viii have
plenty of time to train. He VIII be
fit by the oath"
Harry Pollock viii not claim Jeffries'
s25O0 forfeit. I'VE came out here to
win the fight and not to take the
champions money" said he. "Of
course, it is too bad that a postpone
ment Is necessary. but we are willing
to stand for 1t and give JEFF all the
time he wants to train. 1t will do
Munroe good to work few days long

When told of the postponement Num-
roe did not seem at all concerned. II
do not want to fight a lame man." said
Jack. Let him get into the best pos
sible condition. and then there will be
no hollering If the mill goes agains,
him. A few days extra training will
do me good
Manager Coffroth said last night
that the tickets already sold for the
big fight will be good on the night of
June Soth and that there will be no
change in the seating arrangements OF

Special to the Silver State
San Francisco, June -5--The Cali

publican Convention left here this
morning at IL o'clock on a superb
special train. The delegation was es-
corted to the foot Of Market street
by members of the Union League and
other local Republican clubs. large
crowd went across the bay to see them
off

Committee. Palr ce Hotel. san francis
co: Owing to illness am unable to ac-
con,I any the de.e cation. Please cancel

San Diego. June 13.-John D. Spreck-
els, WHO was elected one of the dele

lean Convention. which assemblies at
Chicago on June 21st, today wired Sec
retary Steooacher to cancel his hotel

Spreckels in referring to this action
sad:
II was in i'll health when elected
delegate and came to San Diego a week
ago for the purpose of resting and
recuperating. My journey down con-
vinced me that l would certainly jeo-
pardize my health by taking the trip
to Chicago at this time. I therefore
decided not to attend the national con-
vention."
Mr.. Spreckels feels and expresses
keen regret at not being able to at
tend the convention. His health has
improved very materially since coming
