Shooting Affray at Marshall.

A shooting affray occurred at
Marshall, Saline county, Tues
day night in which Chas. G.
Patterson shot and dangerously
wounded Ernest D. Martin a |
former state senator. Patterson
was immediatly arrested and
taken to Jail.
About 10 o'clock Tuesday
night Patterson met Senator
Ernest D. Martin in Gross
res taurant. Patterson fired
two shots. One shot entered
the mouth on the right side and
has not been found. The other
shot missed. Martin was taken
out the back door of the res
aurant by some of his friends.
Patterson surrendered his
pistol to a policeman and said
hat be tried to kill Senator
Martin because Martin had been
publishing lies. Martin will
probably recover.
Mr.. Patterson was for a long
time editor of paper at Black
burn, Saline county, and after he
had sold his paper at that place
he moved to Marshall and work.
ed on the Marshall Democrat
News.
Senator Martin had been in
Kansas City nearly all the time
for almost a year, but goes to
Marshall occasionally on busi-
ness. He had been there only
an hour or two when the difficult
ty with Mr.. Patterson occurred.
He says he did not know why
Patterson should have shot him,
as no unpleasantness existed
between them at that time. He
says he thought that Mr.. Pat
terson had forgiven him for all
past differences, as he was sure
that he had forgiven Mr.. Patter-
son for any wrong that might
| have been done him.
The shooting grew out of d
quarrel which involved much
politics and Democratic factioAal
differences. Martin was state
senator for the district, which
includes Saline and Pettis
counties, and served in the
general assembly in 1901 and
| 1903.

Special to COURIER.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Tuesday,
May 80, 1905. The bad mar
ket last week had the effect of
cutting down receipts this week,
giving the market a chance to
recover. Nearly all the loss of
25 to 40 cents last week was TAX
en- off Tuesday and Wednesday,
and the market was more or less
draggy the balance of the week,
and prices are now on a basis low
enough to suit them very we'll,
and they are buying freely this
week, to the limit of the receipts,
at 5 to Is cents above last Friday.
Their main reason for free buy
ing yesterday and to-day is not
that they have any urgent de-
mand, but that they expect light
runs and stronger receipts later
in the week.
Including the heavy decline of
last week, beef steer prices are
70 cents to a dollar lower than at
the high time, about the middle
of April. Prime steers would
hardly bring more than S6 now,
top both yesterday and to-day
$3.50, bulk of steers selling at
S4.72 to $3.50. This time last
year prices were going up, and
$3.50 was paid in June, but it is
doubtful if that price is reached
in June this year. Conditions are
different; there are more cattle
on feed this year than there was
last year this time. Cows and
heifers sell better, relatively,
than steers lately. Best heifers

$3.50. Stockers and feeders are
25 to 40 cents lower than a week
iago, selling at S4 to S4.75 for de-
sirable feeders, stockers $3.50
to $4.30.

Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1905-11-04

Tonopah experienced an old-time rush
last Saturday upon the receipt of news
of a great strike being made northeast
of Stone Cabin in the Kawich range by
Clifford brothers. The whole town be-
came excited and many autos and teams
were soon on the way to the scene Of
the strike. Among the first to leave
was Max Junghandel, the well-known
mining man. In letter just received
from him he states that the strike is
o. K. and that the whole country from
Tybo to Kawich and Reveille is thor
oughly mineralized. Others who stam-
peded and who agree with him are NJ.
L. Efinger, w. w. Booth, Maurice
Lynch, ]. P. johnson, Milo Plamenaz,
N. Wallace, VIM. Waters, Chas. Keil-
hofer, Carl Young and A. johnson.
Nearly all of the above gentlemen,
however, say that they believe the key
to the whole situation lies few miles
to the northwest Of the strike at Hot
Springs and that little work there
will show that the big 10O-foot ledges
that outcrop are rich in gold and silver
values.
Mr.. Junghandels story of the rush
as written to the BONANZA is as follows
1.-The strike made by the Clffords
north of Stone Cabin is certainly q
great one. 1t was made by Ed and jim
Clifford early in October. They kept
the discovery to themselves and wer,
more surprised than anyone when the,
found that their discovery had become
known in Tonopah and people from
here began to arrive at their camp
Mr.. Cahill was the gentleman who car
ried the good news to Tonopah and al
assay by Geo. Hewitt showed the roel
he took from the discovery ledge t
have value of $7,379 to the ton.
Though the unexpected rush of min
ing men crowded their camp Sunda
morning, the Clifford boys are noted 70
their hospitality and they did every
thing possible to make the new conner
comfortable.

last Tuesday, as called, owing to the
unavoidable absence of President ].
Cal Brougher. The meeting will be
held December I'd, to which time an
adjournment was taken. The company

cellent progress is being made on the
south cross-cut on the 365 foot level.
The east drift on the same level is
rapidly approaching the Montana line,
where it will connect with the west
drift on the 50O-foot level of that prop
erty. On the 535-foot level drifting

lite quartz were taken from the hang
ing-wall that were covered with free
gold The Gold Bar is a splendid prop
erty.
The St. Anthony shaft is now about
so feet deep and the quartz being taken
out pans medium grade values. No
drifting will be done until the 100-foot
station is reached.
Steve Baldwin and associates operat-
ing the Bullfrog Junior, on Rainbow
mountain, encountered lively looking
ledge of quartz a few days ago in a
trench they are running to prospect the
property. The Bullfrog Junior is To-
Gated on the southwest slope Of Rain
bow mountain and joins the New Hamp-
shire group on the west.
Good progress is being made in the
drifts being run at the Lucky Jack. 1t
is estimated that the southeast drift
will have to be extended distance of
so feet in order to cut the ledge for
which they are drifting. Medium
grade values are obtained from string
ers of quartz found in these drifts.
The deal consolidating the Amethyst
and Providence properties is practically
completed, says the Bullfrog Miner.
Thursday Messrs. Knox, Edwards and
Sherrod, of Tonopah, representing the
Providence, arrived in Rhyolite ant

the Amethyst. Everything was ar
ranged except few minor details anC

Contractor Webster and associates
who are sinking the shaft on the May
claim of the Double Eagle are making
good progress and the vein maintains
its width and values, showing clean
walls with an abundance of tale, carry
ing values. The formation is changing
to a more solid matrix, in fact it seems
to be coming into the lode porphyry so
characteristic of the mines of Tonopah.
The work of sinking a deep shaft on
the Tonopah Union property was COM
menced this week. = This ground which
adioins the Tonopah Gold Mountain
property, is on the west side of Gold
Mountain and comprises five claims,
the Amazon, Tiger, Ruby Hill, st.
Cloud and Lookout. Two years ago a
shaft was sunk to depth of 200 feet
on this property and high values in gold
we're obtained from the ledges encoun-
tered. 1t is this intention of the owners
to sink an entirely new shaft, with the
object in view of cutting the big rich
ledge of the Tonopah Gold Mountain
Mining company which trends in the
direction of the Union. The officers Of
the Tonopah Union Mining company
are: Al Revert, president; H. Fletcher
vice-president and Ray Lyon, secre
tary. These with C. F. Wittenberg
H. Epstine and Robert Pohl constitute
the board of directors.
A force of men was put to work sink
ing a shaft on the Battleship grou
Thursday. This property comprise
eight claims, which adjoin the Tonopa
Gold Mountain company's ground o
the northwest and the Nevada Colo
fields Development company's groun
on the southeast. 1t is not incorporated
the principal owners being H. Fletche
and the Davis brothers. The propert
