VESTS PRAISE OF THE Doo
An Impromptu Address by the Sem
ator That Once swayed
Missouri Jury.

In suit for damages claimed for the
killing Of dog the late Senator Vest
many years ago delivered striking
address on behalf of the plaintiff be-
fore q Missouri jury. The effect of the
speech was a verdict of $500 in favor of
the piaintiff. The speech ran as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen of the Jury: The best
friend a man has may turn against
him and become his enemy. His son
or daughter that he has reared with
loving care may prove ungrateful.
Those who are nearest and dearest 10
US, those whom we trust with our good
name and with our happiness may be-
come traitors to their faith. The men,
ory that a man has he may lose; it
flies away from him, perhaps, when he
needs it most. A mans reputation may
be sacrificed in a moment of ill-coE-
sidered action. The people who are
prone to fall on their knees to do us
honor when success is with us may te
the first to throw the stone of malice
when failure settles its cloud upon our
heads.
''The one absolutely unselfish friend
that man has in this selfish world, the
one that never deserts him, the one
that never proves ungrateful or
treacherous is his dog. A mans dog
stands by him in prosperity, in health
and in sickness. He will sleep on the
cole ground where wintry winds blow
and the snow drives fiercely, if only he
may be near his masters side. He viii
kiss the hand that has no food tO
offer; he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with the
roughness of the world. He guards the
sleep of his pauper master as il he
were prince When all other friends
depart he remains. When riches take
wings and reputation falls to pieces he
is as constant in his love as the sun in
its journeys through the heavens.
# IF fortune drives the master forth
an outcast in the world, friendless and
homeless. the faithful dog asks no big
ger privilege than that OF accompany
ing him to guard against danger, To
fight against his enemies. And when
the last scene Of all comes and death
takes the master in it's embrace ana
his body is laid away in the COL
ground, no matter II all other friends
pursue their way. there by the grave
side will the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws his eyes sad
but cpen in alert watchfulness, faith
full and true even In DEATH

Development work on the Jackson
property at Ida continues with very
satisfactory progress. A tunnel is being
driven to open ledge OF ore from which
some very good values have been Sc
cured from the surface. A recent assay
showed the following values: Gold, pol
oz.: silver, l64 or. total value, $495. 40.
The ore is a white quartz in character.
Owing to the high altitude-about 5000
feet-development work will not be
practicable with full force of men un-
til well into the spring, when operations
will be prosecuted on large scale. W..
II. Jackson, the owner, expects to open
up big body of high grade ore in the
tunnel. The property lies in the i'm
mediate vicinity OF several oldtime pro-
ducers and adjoins Gov. Sparks group

proving daily and business is much more
active Already the influx of people has
started. Water and food are plentiful.
The latter costs but s. per cord.

Sacks for Gold Crater.

A load of l 200 sacks was taken to Gold
Crater during the week for the Gold
Crater mine, one of the Curtis and Ridge
properties upon which shipping ore has
recently been opened up. There is some
considerable quantity of ore on the dump
that will ship and enough exposed to
warrant the expectation that shipments
will be maintained at regular intervals
for some time. This will be the first
shipper from the new district and it is
due to the energy and progressiveness
shown by Messrs. Curtis and Ridge, that
the camp has at last developed pro-
ducing mine. Recent reports from there
are to the effect that the showing on
several of the properties under develop
ment has materially improved during
the past ten days. This is particularly
true of the Hub, one of the Inman prop
critics, where splendid appearing body
of quartz was disclosed several days ago.
Assays have not been taken but the ore
pans very well, indicating good shipping
values. A sample of this quartz, that
weighs probably 30 pounds, has been
brought to town and may be seen in the
window of the Elite.

E. NJ. Binford, the well known MEM
Der of the brokerage firm of Binford &
Cottle, returned Wednesday from a
twelve days trip to the southern coun-
try. While away he visited Ida, Tule
canyon and Stateline, the latter being
an old camp which is now taking on airs
of prosperity. Mr.. Binford purchased a
group of claims at Ida which have good
surface showings and succeeded in get
ting hold OF promising group at State
line. The latter district, he says, has
immense ledges and predicts that it will
come to the front within the next few
months. Mr.. Binford says the 'outlook
for the entire section which he visited is
very bright with everything to indicate
that some good mines will be opened up.
Ida, he reports, has a genuine and well
supported boom and all the principal
mines which are being worked have
showings which indicate that the era of
prosperity which has struck the old
camp will continue.

The surface showings on these claims
are exceptionally good. An enormous

which taken clear across on the surface
give average returns of 81. The com

Shipments to Coldfield by Way of
Austin.

A representative of the Pacific Hard
ware company of San Francisco, who
has been in town the past week, has
quoted to merchants here rates on freight
from Battle Mountain, on the main line
of the S. p, to Goldfeld. 1t is under
stood to be the company's intention to
encourage the making of shipments to
Battle Mountain, over the Nevada Gen.
tral to Austin, and by team from that
point to Tonopah and Goldfield. This
is done as a means of relieving the con-
gestion on the all-rail route to Tonopah,
and the company has made a rate con.
cession by which goods can be laid down
in Goldfield by the Austin route almost
as cheaply as via Reno.
1t is understood that arrangements
have already been made for some large
shipments into Goldfield by way of Aus

They have located a group of claims and
have obtained values from surface up to

apparently six miles long, is in the Pal

Joe Ward and Andy Tegg were
brought to Goldfield yesterday morning
suffering severely from injuries received
while working on a prospect near
Indian Springs in the Bullfrog district.
A missed hole, into which they drilled,
was the cause of their injuries. Partic-
ulars of the accident could not be Sc
cured further than the fact that the
men had received a blast of powder
from the explosion of a shot that had
failed to 60 off when first fired. That
they were not instantly killed or severely
manned is due to the fact that the
charge of powder was light and the hole
had been drilled in soft ground near the
surface. The injured men stood the
trip from Bullfrog with remarkable for
titude. Upon arriving here they were
taken to private hospital where their
injuries were dressed. They suffered
most from burns caused by the flash ac-
companying the explosion.
