Fire Department.

The ball to be given at Miners Union
hall on Monday night is certain to be a
success. 1t is given for the purpose of
raising money to erect a suitable build
ing for a fire station at an estimated
cost of $500. The location will be on
Columbia avenue and Ramsey. Every
property owner ought to buy a ticket to
help the good cause along even if the
ticket is not used. James w. Morrison,
the chairman of the fire committee, is
working hard to make the ball Il social
as we'll as a financial success. The
money for the purchase of the chemical
engine, the horses and hose has already
been raised. 1t is the intention to have
three paid men on the department and
at least a dozen volunteers who have
had experience as fire fighters in other
towns and cities on the department.

THE FLORIDA NINE.


The oil Florida at Ida is a big silver
mine. That TACT was demonstrated by
former owners thirty years ago. 1t was
worked in a rather indifferent way by
owners and leasers at irregular intervals
for twenty years. In this i'm about
100000 worth of silver-lead ore vas ex-
tracted and shipped, the ore being
hauled or packed to Austin. All OF 1T
came from above the water level. The
deepest shaft was only - feet. One year
ago the mine was purchased by the
Broughton Bros OF Goldield and they
organized the Florida-Goldtield company
TO develop it, and ever since steady work
has been in progress and a large amount
ii work has been done under adverse
conditions since that time. The 45-foot
shaft was retimbered and sunk to the
200-foo: point and nearly a mile OF drifts
and crosscuts have been M at the dit
ferent levels. The shaft is now tim
hered to within 40 feet OF the bottom.
1t will take Il week or ten days to free
the mine oil water. The pump is rails
ing 50 gallons of water a minute. 1t is
the intention to continue sinking to the
a00-foot point without stopping only for
the purpose of cutting stations at regu-
lar intervals. The development work
done the past year has proven that the
Florida is one OF the big silver mines OF
the country. The ledge OF pay rock is
an inknense one. 1t has been crosscut
100 feet and no wall is in sight either
end. The whole vein filling is ore and
exclusive OF the high-grade shoots and
streaks, averages ST. a ton. These high
grade. streaks vary in width from eight
inches to six feet and there are II half
dozen. OF more OF them. The eight-inch
streak ASSAYS as high as 1900 ounces in
silver, $50 in gold and Is per cent. lead.

mine is now equipped with one of the
best plants OF machinery in this section

Lucky" Baldwin's Representative.

II. A. Unruh OF Los Angeles, LUCKY"
Baldwin's representative, has been max
ing an inspection of the camp for some
days. Mr.. Baldwin is already interested
in Goldfeld mining properties and is
anxious to invest more of his idle mill
ions. Mr.. Unruh said: 81 have been in
many a mining camp in their early his
tories and am free to confess that Gold
field is the banner II of them all.

One Of the Picturesque Characters Of
Southern Nevada.

Louie f.. Chiatovich is one of the
picturesque c~naractes of southwestern
Nevada. Standing six feet two inches
in his stocking feet and tipping the
scales at 2iO pounds and without an
ounce of superfiuous fat on him he is
the kind of a man that would attract
the attention of a fight promoter who
was looking arald the country to find
a man who Stand a show of
wrestling the ,m Jim Jeffries.
Louie is a lite owever, but ne'er

carriage. + old timer on the
desert, conf f tWtnty odd years
ago and pitch ss nine miles west
of Thorp's w he a few locations
and later on boughssa number OF much
older locations than his own from a
fellow countryman OF his. There was
pay rock in sight and plenty OF it. A
stamp mill was put up at Thorp's wells,
nine miles due east OF the mines. 1t
was a crude affair but a few months OF
each year for fifteen years he broke ore
and hauled il to the mill for treatment.
Enough gold was saved on the plates to
keep Louie comfortable for another
year and at the same time TO do consid-
cradle development work. He was
content to wait until something turned
up, and it did. The discovery of high
grade gold ore at Tonopah and later on
the marvellous finds at Goldfeld were
heralded to the outside world. Thous-
ands of prospectors, miners and capt.
talists rushed in. The prospectors
scattered all over the desert and some
locations were made in the neighbor-
hood of the Chiatovich mines. Specu-
lators and mining experts came by the
score trying to secure the properties
under bond and lease. Louie smiled at
them. Cash or no sale was his terms.
Finally along came the mar with the
cash, but he was able TO buy only a two
thirds interest. A company was organ
lied and called the Bonnie Clare Gold
field NJ. & NJ. Co, and Los Angeles cap
~italists are back OF the enterprise.
Louie received enough cash to make any
man of ordinary habits rich and still
holds a big interest in the mine. He

Machinery for Ida Mines.

". $. Daugherty returned from a trip
to Denver the first Of the week. While
in Denver he placed orders with a ma
chinery house for three plants of ma
chinery which are to be installed on the
Centennial, Blue Dick and Copper Queen
mines. The three properties are owned
by as many companies, but all OF them
have pay rock in sight, and will COM
mence shipping as soon as the machin-
cry is in place for work. Steam will be
used as there is an abundance of timber
for fuel near at hand. An eight-drill
compressor will furnish power for ma
chine drills which are to be used on all
the mines. Mr.. Daugherty is general
manager OF the three properties and is
confident that Ida is the camp of the
desert.

BOMBARDS BASTILE TO RECOVER
RING HE GAVE TO SWEETHEART

Furious with rage because he had
been Tilted in love, Carl Fox, a Ger
man, proprietor of a lunch counter
at 21S West Third street, rushed into
the detectives headquarters yesterday
afternoon and demanded the services
of municipal Sherlock Holmes to as
sist him in taking dimand ring from
his alleged Sweetheart" and former
employe, Miss Emma J. Jeffries of
748 West Seventh street. For a period
of ten minutes the excited German

quarter of a million, while in few
years it will be worth at least $2,000,-
000," said Mr. Lissner.
This suggested the idea that an or
ganization be formed for the purpose
and this was quickly done in the outer
office of the mayor, with Niles Pease
as chairman and M. Lissner secretary.
The purpose of the organization was
announced as being the nucleus of a
movement to have the city purchase
Fiesta park for any purpose which
might be deemed proper, and particular
stress was laid on the statement that
1t was not an opposition city hall
scheme. Judge Silent and M. Lissner
were named as a committee to draw up
the petitions.
The question of funds was mentioned
and Arthur Let's answered by throwing
four five-dollar gold pieces on the table.
He was quickly followed by Niles Pease
with similar amount, and then bills
and gold were showered in front of the
secretary until several hundred dollars
had been subscribed.
The meeting adjourned to Monday
afternoon at o'clock, when an open
mass meeting for this purpose will be
held in the assembly room of the cham
ber of commerce, when every one inter
ested in the enterprise is urged to be
present. in the meantime Chairman
Pease will name a committee of twenty
one that will take active charge of the
proposition.
Fiesta park is owned by Victor Ponet
and he has not set any price on 1t,
but If the city wants it bad enough,
condemnation proceedings can be
brought. The park embraces an entire
block, bounded by Twelfth and Pico
streets and Grand avenue and Hope
street. 1t Is now used chiefly as a
baseball and football park.

Street Call Mass Meeting
for Monday

Amid a shower of gold coin and cur

the purpose of securing Fiesta park for

their reasons why the mayor should

bil last Monday accepting the free
site on North Main street for a new

M. Lissner and ]. H. Spires, who
made strenuous efforts to have the
proposition turned down by the coun-
ell at last Mondays meeting, headed
the delegation aud presented the same
arguments to the mayor that they gave
the council, for either buying a site
near the southern portion of the busi-
ness district or allowing the building
TO stand where 1t now is on Broadway
In the delegation were Niles Pease,
Arthur Let's, Judge Charles D. Silent,
Warren Gillelen, w. r. Burke, Robert
Hale w. e. Deming and G.. w. Walker
Members of the delegation argued
that business was rapidly leaving the
neighborhood where it is proposed to
erect the new city hall and that if a new
building is erected it should be in the
trend of business to the southwark. It
was suggested that Fiesta park be pur-
chased and new city hall erected on
that site.
with no better solution let the city
hall remain where it is" said Mr.. Pease.
mo, | am not in favor of the city
hall remaining on this site, but | have
not made up my mind where it should

approve or veto this ordinance, and I
am going to take every minute of the
time. Now, if you want the city to
buy Fiesta park and build municipal
building on it, you should present a
petition to the city council asking that
bonds be voted for that purpose" said
