NEW ENGINE SATISFACTORY.
Steamer Throws Stream Higher Than
 Church Spire.

Under the direction of John P. An rens and J. Peter Ahrens, representing the eSmanufacturers, the new fire engine. which is to be valuable complement to Montgomery's Fire Department. was subjected to rigid tests on Court Square for two hours yesterday afternoon
 Fire Chief Browder. a number of flfemen, Mayor Teague, the fire com- mittee of the City Council, several al- dermen and a large crowd of specta- tors. witnessed the trial
 All who saw the engine in working order were highly pleased with the re- suits. Fire Chief Browder said the test was eminently satisfactory and his opinion was reiterated by Mayor Teague and Alderman James J. Sul- livan, chairman of the fire committee. The engine fulhlled so well the expectations of the fire committee that favorable report on the acceptance of the steamer was immediately sign ed. The report will be submitted to the Council Monday night.
 The first test of the engine was made
 yesterday morning at North Ferry street and Madison Avenue. A D of hose was run from a plug and l.se en- zine threw two streams at one time twenty feet higher than the cross on
 St Johns Episcopal Church.
 The afternoon test began at 8 o'clock
 and water was lifted by suction out of the big basin on the square. With out any plug pressure. stream was lifted several feet above the spire on the Moses building. Varied tests were
 made. and each proved highly satis- factory.
 The test was witnessed by as many fremen as could be spared from the firs stations at one time. The hose wag-
 on and the truck of the Madison Av- enue station and the hose wagon of the
 Scott street station were on the scene and several firemen from each of these stations were present. The engineers | of the different engine houses witnessed | the demonstration.
 Tn new steamer was built by 2 | Cincinnati firm. It is third size con, | tinentaI and is named in honor oi Mayor Teague. As soon as 1t Is ofii- cfally accepted by the CcuH ,il, tt will
 be permanentiy placed at the Scott
 street station and the engine now al
 that station will be transferred tc North Montgomery.

 The City Sanitary Department yes terday discovered two eases of small pox among white persons at SPA Mar tha Street, West End. The patients are factory employees and have been in Montgomery only two days. They came here from Taiiassee where, it is believed, they contracted the disease.
 Sanitary inspectors immediately iso- lated the patients and the house in which they live will be rigidly guard ed SO as to prevent, so far as possible, a spread of the infection.
 These cases were the first in Mont gomery during the past ten days. For some time there was not a single case of smallpox in the city, and the Elmer gency Hospital was closed for several days

HEART OF GoLDFIELD

Development work is being pushed on
the Midnight group of claims owned by
the Heart of Goldfeld Mining company
n it is the intention to continue eX-
p~loration without cessation until such
time as the acreage has been thor
oughiy explored and the values of the
vein system thoroughly tested. A shaft
is being sunk on a strong ledge of lively
looking quartz, it's point of location be-
ing about 700 feet west of the black
smith shop. The grade of the rock is
improving somewhat as the shaft is
lowered and the prospects are encour-
aging for it's making into shipping ore
with depth.
Still another promising ledge is being
developed about 700 feet east of the
blacksmith shop. The shaft thereon is
now down so feet and at that depth the
vein is well defined and the quartz is
we'll mi~neralized. Several other leads
outcrop on the property which call for
active development work which Will be
taken up later.

TO GIVE BANQUET in
HONOR OF JUDGE MURPHY

Tomorrow evening members of the
Goldheld bar association and the bust
ness men of the city will give a BAN
quet in honor of Judge NJ. A. Murphy,
of Hawthorne. who arrived last night
from thee ounty seat upon his first
visit to this section of the state. The
banquet will commence at 8 o'clock and
will be given in the Palm Grill. Those
wishing to attend should apply for
ticket to j. F. Douglass, who is chair
man of the banquet committee. 1t is
anticipated hat about so persons will
be present. The gathering will be a
representative one, and given in honor
of a pioneer of the sage brush state,
who occupies the bench of this district.
Judge Murphy was one of the early
settlers in Nevada and although he has
been engaged in mining enterprises as
well as the practice of his profession,
his visit to Goldfield is the first occasion
upon which he has had an opportunity
to view the marvellous growth and pos
sibilities OF this section. At the ban
quest tomorrow night George ID. Pyne,
president of the Goldfeld Bar associa-
ton will o~ficiate as POSTMASTER and
numerous responses will be made by
those prominent in the affairs of the
camp.

GOLDFIELD SOON TO HAVE
WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM

Work on the sewer enterprise is also
being expedited and the plant will be in
operation within the next 80 days. SUI
perintendent Pugh states that he is
meeting with universal success in the
matter of patrons and that he has yet
to meet with his first refusal. AS in the
case of the water. sewer connection will
be made with every public building free
of cost and no charge will be levied for
the use of such connection.
An adequate water and sewer system
has long been an urgent need in Gold
field and for that reason If no other the
Esmeralda Sewerage and Improvement
company is deserving of substantial
support. The enterprise is. however.
largely a home institution and is fos-
tered by Goldfeld men which makes it's
appeal ever more strongly to the pub
lie. Goldfeld has mad a number of close
calls from CONGREGATIONS as serious as
those which devastated Cripple Creek
and Victor, but with the present efficient
fire department backed up by an ade-
quate water supply future danger in
that respect is largely reduced.
The need of a sewer plant here is so
evident that it seems almost superfiuous
~ a. dNNtttAAVtA "a o0OyCtt- LINZ al
new camps Goldheld has suffered in
health by a lack of adequate sanitary
conditions. To be sure the death rate
here has been mall as compared with
the earlier career of other mining COM
munities, due to the excellent precau-
lions which nave always prevailed, but
1t has at times been somewhat alarming
nevertheless. AS the city has grown in
population the need OF a sewer system
has become more urgent and this con-
dition induced the present company to
enter the field.
There is no question but what they
expect. and will make money from their
venture, but that fact does not detract
from its merit. The main question to be
considered is that the Esmeralda Sewer
age and improvement company offers
two adequate safeguards to the public,
fire and health protection, and in view
of the Importance of its service along
those lines all lesser questions as to
whether or not the company will receive
monetary benefit thereby should be for
gotten.

MOVING FOR
COUNTY SEAT
Monday the Commissioners Will Be
Petitioned for Special Election to
Move the Government

Judge Robert G. Withers will leave
Sunday morning for Hawthorne where
he will present to the board of county
commissioners a petition signed by
three-fifths of the voters and taxpayers
of the county, asking the board to call
a special election for the purpose of vot-
ing upon the proposition to remove the
county seat from Hawthorne to this
city.
All the necessary legal formalities
have been executed in the preparation
of the petition. The required number OF
names have been secured, the document
has been prepared in the prescribed
manner and under the statute, those
conditions being complied with it is in
cumbent upon the commissioners to call
the special election. In case of a refusal
of the board to entertain the petition,
the people of Goldfeld would have re-
course to the courts, but it is not an
ticipated that this will be necessary.
Under the law the commissioners are
required to set some date within sixty
days after the hearing of the petition
for the special election, and If the prop
osition receives a majority of the votes
cast, the seat of government must be
transferred within 80 days of the date
of holding the special election. Gold
fields success in the movement will
mean the removal of the county seat
from Hawthorne to Goldheld within
ninety days.
The committee appointed at a mass
meeting held several months ago have
labored hard and long and the ~truition
of their efforts is the petition which
goes before the commissioners next
week. One of the most embarrassing
obstacles which the committee en-
countered was the statute which re-
quires the signatures Of three-ifths of
the persons who's names appear both
on the registry lists as voters, and also
upon the tax rolls. The very character
of a mining camps population operates
against success in this particular as
many of the electors are not property
holders many Of those owning real
estate reside at distant points. But
after a great deal of labor more than
a sufficient number of names We're Sc
cured and the committees work in that
regard is now at an end

Within then next two weeks water
will be flowing through the mains OF
the Esmeralda Sewerage and Improve
ment company and for the first time in
its history Goldheld will have an ample
supply for fire and domestic purposes.
The water is secured from the Highland
mine in the Diamondfield section and is
as pure and free from Injurious matter
as that of any cooling spring or noun
tain torrent. In order to be perfectly
sure thai the water was in every way
desirable the company had an analysis
made a few days ago which developed
the satisfactory fact that the fluid was
absolutely neutral and free from inn
purities.
a daily supply of 10000 gallons is
available at this time. more han double
the present requirement of the camp,
and a further supply of about the same
amount can be developed with little eff.
fort. High up on the east slope of CO.
lumbia mountain the company has
erected a large steel tank with a capac-
ity of 10000 gallons which is fed by Il
5-inch pipe connected with the pump at
the mine. This supply is to be at all
times available for fire purposes and as
it is backed up by a gravity pressure Of
277 feet there is no question of its use
fulness in case of need.
With commendable public spirit the
company furnishes the water for fire
purposes absolutely free of cost to
either the fire department or the resi-
dents of the camp and the same state
ment applies as well to public schools
and all other public buildings and in
stitutions.
Through the main street of the city n
6-inch main is being laid with smaller
latterals connecting with the cross
streets and at each intersecting street
fire hydrants are being placed. A very
moderate rate is charged for the water
and one which could not in any sense
work a hardship on any resident of the
camp. Fol the first 5000 gallons the
rate of u cent per gallon; for the second
5000 gallons, 4-10 cent per gallon: all
over 10, 900 gallons, $40 cent per gallon.
Work is being pushed as rapidly as 15e
men can further ii and there seems lit
tie question but what the plant will be
in operation by the middle of February.

Mining company after a suspension dur
ing which a hoisting plant was in

is efficient for the requirements of the
company for a long time to come. Work
has been taken up where it was left off
several months ago and is to be pushed
as rapidly as the formation will per-
nit. The properties are located about
three miles east of Goldheld in a dis
triet whose surface indications give
promise of liberal gold returns with de-
velopment at depth. Application for
patent is about to be filed.

SEARCHING FOE VALUES

AS Kane and BecKIey continue their
search for values on their lease on the
Rose Bush claim the chances for their
finding pay grade are daily becoming
more pronounced and the announcement
that they are in the shipping zone may
be looked for at any time. In the cross
cut run out from the 150-foot level a
promising ledge is showing which with
the extending of a drift along its strike
can hardly fail to make into meritorious
values. The property is owned by Ker-
nick and Smith, is located almost in the
center of the pay belt and is considered
one of the most valuable pieces of par
TALLY developed mineral acreage in the
camp.

Henry Weber. Interested in many diff
ferent properties in Goldneld. voiced the
foregoing opinion. Mr.. Weber returned
yesterday from New York and Philadel-
phia where he spent three months, and
comes back TO Goldfeld brim full of en-
thusiasm. On every hand he heard good
things of Goldfeld and everywhere there
was a Keen interest in this section
among men who are not only posted
upon Southern Nevada's marvellous ore
deposits, but who are investing their
money in this section. He makes the
statement that the year will see a
greater demand for Nevada securities
than this section will be able to supply.
AS the organizer of many companies,
Mr.. Weber says he could have sold
many times the stocks which he owns
and many o~vertures were made to him
for the controlling interest in the At
lanta property.
II say without any equivocation," said
Mr.. Weber, that the east, and when /
say the east, 1 mean the well posted
men who have money to invest, is
knocking at our doors, and is going
fairly crazy over the promising outlook
for all Nevada securities. l base this
declaration on the fact that more Gold
field stocks are sold in one day in New
York and Philadelphia han change
hands in both Goldfel and San Fran
cisco in two days. This shows conclu-
sively that the eastern investors are
buying, and buying literally of our
stocks. The success of Charles NJ.
Schwab and others who nave added 20
their fortunes in mining ventures, has
contributed to make the west decidedly
attractive to the men of large capital in
the money centers of the east.
ION the 10th day of last month $43,-
900, 900 was paid in dividends by the in
dustrials centering in New York city,
including the dividends paid by banks.
This represents invested capital earning
from -four to seven per cent. Western
securities with their large dividends
and appreciable values, look pretty good
to those fellows, and they are not slow
to get in.
'Goldfeld has suffered much from wild
cat companies that have been organized
in the eastern states, many of them
which did not own a foot of ground in
the district. There was some wild
eating here, but most of it was done by
outsiders who never saw the camp.
Il found The Goldfeld News wherever
l went and it is looked upon as author
ity for Southern Nevada. The News is
the standard and nothing goes that is
not sanctioned by it. 1t is the New
York brokers' bible, and you may quote
me as saying that The News is doing
more for Southern Nevada han any
other one agency"

THE YELLOW TIGER

Six men are eraaged in deveIopment
work on the Union claim of the Yellow
Tiger Mining company and some very
encouraging returns are being received.
The property adjoins the Combination
on the south and is thought to contain
the same vein system. A tunnel is the
medium through when the acreage is
being explored and the lead matter in
it's breast is well mineralized and re-
turns a fair string of colors to the pan.
The quartz is becoming harder and the
vein more compact as the strike is fol-
lowed and present indications are q
fair average for the ultimate finding of
pay ore.

operations were confined to surface
prospecting. After opening up a ledge
of promise. however, development at
depth has become the most important
factor and from now on every effort is
to be made to push the shat downward
to the 2O0-foot point.
