East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-06-24

Receipts from the 101 show given
on Sunday amounted to 100000. The
money was counted in an open shed
in the presence Of a large crowd.
Among the bystanders were several
known desperadoes, and it was later
learned that a plan had been formed
to rob the train bearing the money
between the Miller ranch and Ponca.
Accordingly it was decided to take the
money in an automobile instead of in
the train. The treasure. placed in ten
sacks. was loaded into DR.. Thomas
auto and with four men including the
doctor, and his chauffeur, the start was
made.

At Cowskin creek, about four miles
from Bliss, half dozen robbers sud-
denly appeared and made for the
auto. The chauffeur at once speeded
up the machine and the guards opened
fire on the pursuers The robbers
returned the shots, spurring their
horses vigorously, but the putting ma
chine steadily drew away from the
racing horses and was soon beyond
range. The machine continued its
run to Ponca, where the money was
safely deposited in bank vault. None
of the men were hurt and the only
damage to the automobile was the loss
of the speed regulator, which was
struck by a bullet.

No BacbeIors Among savages.

In these days of bachelor men and
bachelor girls we often imagine that
celibacy is a custom recognized in all
countries. This is largely because II
is a condition made possible by west
ern civilization. AS regards savage
and har5arous races. bachelors and
bachelor girls are unknown, writes
Della Austrian in the Chicago Tribune,
and nearly every one strives to get
married as soon as he or she is able.
This is especially true with people OF
small culture.

ers of the Hamilton joint statehood
bill TO commence voting on the amend
ments TO that measure Tuesday next
The amendment Ivy Senator Foraker
which makes Oklahoma and the In.
dian Territory one state. and New
Mexico one state, eliminating Arizona
from the bill. seems to meet with much
favor and it looks as II 1t would be.
come the compromise measure and
will pass. The amendment gives New
Mexico statehood within present terri.
torial limits and two representatives
In the lower house OF congress. The
sum OF $4,000, 900 is appropriated for
public schools and the land donations
are similar to those in the original
Hamilton bill. Friends OF the Fora
ker amendment are working hard and
quite q number Of the senators who
would have voted for the original
Hamilton bill, are shifting in favor of
the amendment. II this process goes
on, the success Of the amendment and
the defeat Of the original measure
are not only possible but very proba.

X Bound Over.

At the preliminary examination OF l..
G. Falkner, charged with the murder OF
James B. Reeves, the presiding magis-
trate, Judge William Bell, held that the
testimony presented by the state was
sufficient to bind the accused over to the
grand jury. The state, which was rep
resented by attorney c. H. Wynn, in
troduced, in addition to the technical
testimony of the physicians who were
called in to attend Reeves, witnesses
who testified hat Falkner had fired
at Reeves while the latter was walking
away from him and that the defendent
had attempted to procure a shotgun on
the evening proceeding the homicide
with which to kill Reeves. Represent
ing the accused, A. X. Wheeler intro
duced testimony to show that Reeves
had threatened Falkner's life on num-
erous occasions and had stated on the
morning he was killed that he had said
that either he or his enemy would "bite
the dust" before the sun set. One wit
ness also testified that just a few seconds
before the shot was fred he saw Reeves
standing before the building from which
the shot was fired.

A CLAIM JUMPER.
Fred Davis Tries to Jump the OriSi-
nal Fullff0&.

The claim of the Original Bullfrog
Mines Syndicate was jumped on Tues
day by Fred Davis of Elko, New. Davis
is reported to be a U. S. deputy sur
veyor.
Davis discovered during a search of
the records at Bullfrog that the claim of
the Bullfrog property had not been re-
corded at Bullfrog, and thereupon pro-
ceeded t. jump it. Davis acted on the
s%upposition that such a record was nee
essary there. At the time of the dis
covery Of the Bullfrog, no record could
be made in that district as no place of
registration was in existence there. 1t
was, however, duly recorded in a proper
place of registry in the county. Davis,
therefore, acted on a false %supposition,
and, of course, hadn't a leg to stand on.
Details of how Davis became con
WINGED of the mess he had made was
told differently by persons whe returned
from Bullfrog today, but it is known
that Davis skipped out" Of camp Shy
the light of the moon" and was enroute
to parts further north.
He probably won't come back.

THE DENVER NEWS N
will Get Out Special illustrated Ed.
ton ON Coldhe10.

A.. D. Bishop, advertising manager of
the Rocky Mountain News and Denver
Times, arrived in Goldfeld this week
and announces that he is gathering ma
terial for a special illustrated edition
which will tell of the mines of Gold
field.
Mr.. Bishop makes a strong point OF
the fact that, outside of the Daily Min
ing Record, the papers he represents
were for a long time the only ones in
Denver which published any reliable
news of Goldfeld. He makes the fur
ther point that it is the cumulative ef-
feet of advertising that is most valuable,
therefore those who take space in this
edition will receive the benefit of the
many columns of free advertising that
went before.

Among the weeks noted visitors to
Goldfeld we're w. j. Arkell, of New
York, A. NJ. Beck, of San Francisco, and
G. Rice Of New York. They were chap
eroned by r. P. Dunlap, of T~onopah,
until recently secretary of the Montana
Tonopah Mining company, and now the
leading broker handling big properties
in Nevada.
w. J. Arkell formerly owned Judge,
the noted weekly cartoon newspaper,
and has since figured in the world of
finance in the east as a promoter OF big
enterprises. He came to Goldfeld in
the interest of a coterie of eastern in
vestors whose speciality is mining prop
critics.
1.-The big ones are beginning to take
stock in Goldfeld and Tonopah," Mr..
Arkell said yesterday, "and you may
reasonably expect an influx Of eastern
capital for investment here in the YER
near future. At first the experts Sc
riously questioned the lasting quality Of
| Goldfeld properties.
''The ore struck at short depths has
been so rich they have been slow to ad-
nit probability that surface indica-
tions have been any more than surface
indications. But recent mine develop
ing has brought them around, and the
amount of big capital that will be offer
ed for invest by the Fasteners from
now on will be enormous"
Mr.. Arkell returned to Tonopah, ac-
companied by Mr.. Dunlap, this after
| noon. Mr.. Beck and Mr.. Rice remained
here and will locate.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.


The week has been about the same as
last-considerable trading in the more
active stocks with a decline in some
stocks about the middle of the week, a
reaction following, and indications of a
further advance.
New companies are being organized
and stock placed on the market. For
the most part the companies have merit
but there are some which are being set
before the public and extensively adver-
tised which have no standing whatever.
For those who do not receive u
Weekly Market Letter, we will quote
from our last weeks letter, making an
offer to investors which should be ac-
cepted by them as we mean exactly what
we say in it. "When you have read al
advertisement of any Goldfeld mining
company, pause before You buy its stock.
Send us q telegram Of inquiry, at our ex-
pense. We will Immediately wire you,
also at our expense, whether or not the
company is all right, and whether or
not the property in question is a meri-
torious one. Thus, before becoming q
victim to the INSCRIPTIONS you can OBJ
tain absolutely reliable and authentic
information without cost"
With this offer before you and you do
not avail yourselves of the opportunity,
you have no one to blame but yourselves
If later on you find that you have invest
ed in worthless stock.
The returns have not yet been receiv-
ed for the last shipment Of Sandstone
ore; we will give them next week. An
other shipment is ready to forward from
the LOTUS Davis Mayne lease.
The Simmerone company expects to
make a shipment at soon and it will be
one OF the record shipments of the
camp. The stock is held closely. A
reported strike on the Red Top sent that
stock up a few points.
Work is going on rapidly in the Adams
and we consider this one of the best
buys in the market at the present time.
The stock is a snap at the present quo
tat,ons, and in our opinion it will not
remain at this figure long.
The Goldfield Mining company is get
ting the January in good shape and be-
fore long will resume the production of
ore. Now that the company will get all
the profits from the mine, instead of di-
viding it up with the ~lessees, the stock
is more than ever an attractive buy.
The lessees on the DiamoL dfeld Min
ing company's Quartzite claim have a
new hoist installed and will soon be
sending large shipments to the smelter.
| With 5 feet of ore, going $3.50 or better
| to the ton, to go to work on, the royalties
to the company will be large. The
stock is a srap at present prices.
