Nevada BullfroS Mines Co.

The above named corporation has
been organized under the laws of Ari-
zona, with the usual capitalization of
81 900, 900 and the following are the di
rectors: F. f. Davis, attorney, of Los
Angeles; H. J. Jory, mining engineer,
also of Los Angeles; G. B. Gentry, c. S.
Wilson and F. A. Lucy. The property
of the company consists of two claims
three miles west of Beatty, which were
located by George Duncan, who was the
original discover of the valuable Dun
can group, ~ miles north OF searchlight.
The two claims which Duncan located
are on knoll between two mountains
and there is well defined contact be-
tween porphyry and crystallized lime on
the hanging wall. The main quartz
ledge is 35 feet wide and three quartz
lodges come into the same knoll. The
groupings OF the main ledge stand up 25
feet high and an average assay returned
values OF $54 per ton. An average sam
pie across several feet of one Of the cross
lodges showed values of 1926 to the ton.
Mr.. Duncan travelled the whole belt
south as far as Bare mountains, includ
ing Lonsway's strike and thinks that
many portions are equally as promising
as the Bullfrog Mining company's prop
erty on Ladd mountain, which is surely
a valuable one.

Biz Sale at Bullff0g.

DIR. G. w. Tibbetts has bought the
Bell group of three claims at Bullfrog at
the largest price vet paid in that dis
trict. They lie next to one of the Bull
frog Mining company's groups on Ladd
mountain. The assays from close to the
surface are almost beyond belief. The
ledge on the Tiger is 20 feet wide and 10
feet averages $500 per ton, while assays
from the gouge go as high as $4,000. On
the Goodenough claim, an assay across
Is feet of the ledge ran $3.50 per ton.
The lodges on these two claims also go
through the Sidewinder, the third claim
of the group. On this claim the Tiger
ledge assays 500 across feet. A third
. ledge on the Sidewinder averages 5000
across Is feet. These values for the
width are phenomenal, but the infor-
nation comes from good authority.

ODDFELLOWS ANNUAL SERMON.

The Odd Fellows of Charity lodge
met in their hall on last Sunday
morning, as also did the Sisters OF
Ruth, and held their annual conven-
ant meeting together. The meeting
was presided over by Bro. e. S. Nor
gan, and after one and all had testl-
fed, they dismissed until 2 o'clock.
when they returned and formed a
line and marched to the Baptist
church, the brothers on foot and the
sisters in carriages. After they all
had been seated, they were called up
by Bro. II. H. McCraven, who was the
master of ceremonies, and after the
usual exercises Rev. r. l.. Griffith.
pastor of the Crinthian Baptist
church, was introduced to the order
and preached very able sermon, con-
siderng the fact that he was once
an Odd Fellow himself, but did not
travel very far into its mysteries and
it pleased many of the Odd Fellows
to hear him say he had different
idea of the order today than he had
several years ago After the sermon
collection was taken up which
amounted to something over $40. Ow-
ing to the fact that the Odd Fellows
at ColfaX had no sermon, many Of
their brethren turned out with Char
ity lodge and helped to swell their
number, which was highly apprecl-
ated After returning to the hall they
adjourned to meet again Tuesday
night. May 18th, in a regular meet
ing capacity.

WON HIS CASE.

Mr.. Walter H. Hubbard, who was re-
fused meal at a boarding house a
few months ago simply because he was
a colored man. won his case last Sat
urday. The jury brought in verdict
of $50 damages because of the refusal
and the violation of the Iowa statutes.
This case was watched very eagerly
by the whole race. in fact all the peo-
pie of Iowa was much interested as
Mr.. Humbard was serving as juror
and was taken to his boarding house
by the court bailiff with the other
eleven Jurors. The boarding house
lady refused to serve Humbard and
did serve all the rest of the jury. The
defense was it was a private and not
a public boarding house but the court
and jury did not see it that way, for
she advertised it as boarding house.
It was a great victory for right and

Pacific railway. The train was
composed of three Pullmans, a
third having been attached to ac-
commodate the Louisiana, Miss
issippi and Alabama representa-
tives, day coach, a baggage
and dining car. A large party
Of friends and relatives were
present to see the party off. Mr..
F. f. Batters, Assistant General
Passenger Agent of the Southern
Pacific, was to be found in the
ticket office, on the train, on the
platform, or in the waiting room,
giving directions and making
such adjustments as he thought
would add to the comfort and
pleasure of the party. At about
1890 the train pulled out on its
journey of 1000 miles. / AT Hous-
ton, Tex, a fourth Pullman car
was attached for the Texas and
Arkansas representatives. So far
as we know this was the first
time in history that such a large
party of Negroes ever crossed the
continent in a special train of
Pullman cars.

CURTAIL PRIVILEGES OF
NEW SOLDIERS.

Colonel Thomas in command at
Fl. Des Moines, deciding that the
boys in blue will not be allowed to
become a bore to thr citizens, has
issued orders compelling them to
''turn in" at 8 p. m. and allowing
a certain number permission each
day to come up town. The issuance
of the order is the result of criti-
cism on the part of certain individu-
ais regarding the behavior Of the
soldiers. Colonel Thomas is de-
termined the post and the soldiers
shall gain the respect of the citizens
of Des Moines.
The privates are bit sore at the
parties who brought about the con.

they have just returned from the
Philippines where they seldom saw

SAVES HIS WIFE'S BODY
FROM THIEF.

Unknown parties were interrupt

an attmpt to steal the dead body Of
Mrs. +, Ousley, colored woman
who died Friday at her home at oSI

She was lying near an open win

TO GENERAL COFERENCE.

From the Southwe stern Christian Recorder
On Friday morning, April %,
when the New York limited pull
ed into New Orleans over the
Louisville & Nashville railway
there were attached to it two
special Pullman sleeping cars
which were occupied by delegates
and visitors from our Eastern and
Southern conferences, enroute to
the General Conference at Los
Angeles. AS soon as the train
came to standstill the party
alighted, leaving their handbag
gage in the car in charge of the
porters. There were stretched
out in line at the depot seventeen
of the finest carriages of the city,
in which the visitors were to take
a drive during the four hours
intervening before the train was
to start on its long Western
journey. The carriages were
provided by prominent Methodists
of the city and a few Of their
friends. The party stopped long
enough to take hurried break
fast at Watkins Restaurant and
, then went to New Orleans Uni
versity and other points of inter-
est. Just before noon they reach
ed the Union depot whittier their
cars had been transferred and
embarked on special train for

EDITORIALS.
COLORED DIPLOMATS

1t is indeed a pleasure for us to
note the executive, Judicial and
good wisdom in which our color
ed counsels or diplomats have
managed the American affairs in
the foreign countries or ports
where there is war and revolution.
Not a word of censure has come
from any of the stations that they
have in charge. United States
Minister Clayton S. Powell, who
is stationed at Santo Domingo,
Haiti. has conducted our affairs
during the past two years,
through all those varied revolu-
tions, and upon him often result
ed the great responsibility of
whether our government would
;nterceedc or not. Minister
Powell has met every emergency
with consumate ability and active
foresight, thus avoiding a con-
flict with the United States inter-
est and protecting our personal
in business interst in the 1s]and.-
The whole world is now eager
ly watching the diplomatic move
ments of our United States con-
sui Prof. Richard 7. Greener who
is at Vladivostok, one of the
great war centers of the far East.
Below we give the Associated
Press compliment of Professor
Greener:
Richard II. Greener, ColOred
man, is the United States consul
at Vladivostok, one of the storm
centers of the war in the far East.
Representatives of other countries
at that place unite IN saying that
Mr.. Greener is the most highly
respected of all the consuls there.
His usefulness has been demon
strated on many occasions. He
is courteous, sane and taCttul.
He has proved himself a born dl-
plomat.
Greener is finely educated
man, being the first colored grad
uate of Harvard college.
He is lawyer OF profound
ability, having practiced at the
Washington bar and for five years
served as dean of tue law faculty
of Howard university. Later he
practiced law in New York and
served several years as municipal
civil service examiner.

plsscr, he is positive that he inter.
rupted a carefully laid plan to stea)
the body of his wife virtually from
benath his eyes, and sell it to med,
ical sceool for dissection by students
and surgeons.
So positive in this belief is he that
he yesterday decided not to inter the
remains of his wife in a Des Moin es
cemetery. The interment will be
made in another Iowa burial ground.
The nature of the illness of Mrs.
Ousley and her condition during the
ten days preceding her death, were
such as to make the body a desire.
able specimen for carving in the
cause of science. For more than a
week prior to her death, she lived
without food, and physicians had no
hopes of her recovery.
Three months ago, it was stated
yesterday, she underwent an opera
tlon in Mercy hospital for cancer of
the stomach. The operation is said
to have been successful, and the eff
feet of this ordeal had nothing to 90
with her death. She died because
of complication of diseases.
There has heen no parallel of this
case in Des Noines. 1t is a fact
that is given no more circulation
than possible, thai there is a place
foa any dead body in any institution
where the rcience of medicine and
surgery is taught, and it is said that
in greed for learning along this line.
extreme measures are often taken
for procuring the "stlffs" as they
are called, within the halls of
science.

METHODIST CONFERENCE.

This month every quadrennial
seems to be noted for the meet
ing of Methodist general confer
ences. This year the great
Methodist Episcopal general con-
ference is being held in Los
Angeles, CAL, while the A. NJ.
E. church is holding theirs in
Chicago, ILL.,, and the A. M. E.
Zion in St. Louis, Mo. Each ses-
sion is attended with the full
number of delegates, besides each
gathering has an unusual large
number of distinguished and able
visitors from among the laity in
attendance of their daily meet
ings, watching these great law
making bodies of the largest prot
estant religion in America.
Upon the action of these bodies
depend the future development of
Methodism, among both colored
and white. Millions of the sub
jects of this creed depends on the
actions of these bodies, therefore
it is indeed very important that
good and wise laws are made for
the government of these organl-
cations. Their strongest, Oldest
and most influential workers of
the church are there. Then
another thing that confronts all
the conferences is the election of
several new bishops, beside all
the general officers who will oper-
ate the organization for another
four years. At the Los Angeles
meeting very grave and serious
question confronts the Methodist
the electlng OF some colored
man to the bishopric to represent
the 100000 colored followers.
the probability is that one may be
elected. Four years ago a color
ed man came within a very few
votes of being elected bishop, and
that man was Rev. J. w. E..
Bowen of Atlanta, Ga, whose
cut we run this week. Among
the various aspirants at the Chi
cago conference are Rev. J. NJ.
Henderson of Indiana, DR.. II. II.
Johnson of Pennsylvania, DR.. H.
| p. Parks of Tennessee, Rev. Geo.
w. Gaines of Illinois, and DR..
Corners. At the st. Louis con-
ference .ev@ w. H. Chambers is
one of Il G leading candidates for
bishopric.

A GOOD PROGRAM.

One of the best programs yet given
by the Athenian Literary society was
the one last Monday night, at the
Union Congregational church, to a
large audience. Following is the pro-
gram: Invocation, j. H. Shepard; Solo
Miss Marguerite Fields, who as usual
performed we'll; Recitation, Miss Ethel
Stewart, who recited long and diff
cult recitation in pleasing manner
for one of her age Vocal Solo, Mr.. E.
T. Blagburn, his voice was in good
condition and he used it with good
effect. The original poem by Mr.. j..
c. Williams was received with pro-
longed applause. Perhaps the best
number on the program was the violin
solo by Mr.. Ralph Combs of st. Joseph,
Mo-, who is a student at Highland
Park college, he is one of the promis
ing young violinist Of the middle West.
Mr.. l.. l.. Henderson recited his reci-
tatlon in very pleasing and effective
manner. AS Mr.. E. w. Thompson was
somewhat nervous, his cornet Solo was
not IS we'll rendered as it would have
been lie had possessed more conf
dence. The last but not least was the
tenor solo by Mr.. J. H. Rogers, which
was we'll rendered. He like Mr.
Combs, was forced to respond to en-
cores. The Mesdames II. W. Hughes
William Coalson and Miss Marguerite
Fields were the accompanies. Re-
freshments were served at the conclus-
ion of the program.
