NINA ATTRACTING
MUCH ATTENTION

E. G.. Minard, who recently returned
to Tonopah from Nina, reports that the
rich mining territory tributary to Nina
is attracting considerable attention on
the part of mining men and investors.
All vacant ground is being rapidly
staked out and new strikes are of fire.
squent occurrence.
The district is coming to the front on
merit alone without the ordinary boom
influence. The value of a strike is
usually measuredby the boom heat sur
rounding it.
There are some prominent mines in
the district, several of which are ship
pers, and it is expected that before
long other properties will be added to
the shipping list. The Nevada Copper
Queen is continuing to show up well.
The new shaft has reached the high
grade ore mined and sacked near the
surface, showing that phenomenal sur
face values continue with depth. A
new ledge has also been opened up,
showing high values in silver and leaC
and also giving fair values in copper
and gold. The ledge is large anC
promises to produce large quantities Of
high grade iuxing ore, which is il
great demand by the shelters.

feet when he ran into mineralized rock,
and a few feet deeper disclosed a good
sized vein which pans free gold in con-
siderable quantity. Work will be con-
tinued on this vein and the property
thoroughly opened up.
Several pieces of rock that were al
most solid gold were brought into town
recently by a prospector who claimed
to have found them on his property
near Millett, 40 miles north of Manhat-
tan. Considerable interest was aroused,
to the end that several parties left for
the scene of the strike at once.
The camp of Millett was located last
spring, and is near the site of several
old silver mines, which were abandoned
when the price of silver dropped. As
most Of these properties were worked
for silver alone, no attention being
given to the gold values, it is believed
that they can now be successfully
worked for gold. Water is to be hac
in abundance, as we'll as fuel, and il
all probability a permanent camp viii

appeared for the plaintiff, said the suit
arose out of a failure on the part Of
McKane to deliver to Sloan 5000
shares of a silver mine, in Nevada, of
which McKane is the owner and which
were worth 500 a share. Another dis
patch from Pittsburg, bearing the
same date says: John Sloan is a min
ing promoter Of this city and is gen
orally accredited with being the repre-
sentative of Augustus Heinze, the
copper magnate. The suit in question
was said here tonight to be a r~eopening
of an old case that was brought in the
courts of Allegheny county four ear
ago, and is the outcome of an agree
ment between Sloan and McKane in
which the latter is alleged to have
offered Sloan a block of stock in the
Tonopah Extension Mining company Of
Nevada, in return for Sloan's influence
in floating the stock in this city. Nc
Kane at that time was president of the
Tonopah company, but is now out of
executive control, with the exception
of being on the directorate.

Curtis Folly.

Uri B. Curtis has been in the city for
some time, says the San Francisco
Journal of Commerce. Uri was for
merly of Tonopah, then of Goldfield
and now halls from both places. Curtis
got a piece of ground ear Jim Butler
in Tonopah and worked it for all it was
worth. The people of Tonopah used to
give Uri the cha ha, and his mine
was christened Curtis Folly" But
Curtis kept on working, and n day
there came out of the mine or some
where neal the mine, ore which assayed
$40 a ton. People could not believe it
and they laughed softly and passed up
the occurrence. Two or three days
later ore was dug out which went $500
a ton. Then everybody stopped laugh
ing and said that the last was serious,
for ore of the kind never could come
from Curtis Folly" But Curtis had
the ore and bye and bye the mine be-
came so valuable that Curtis didn't
have to work any more, and he sold his
"Folly." Later on, he and Roy Ridge
were associated together on a lease on
the Jumbo in Goldfeld out of which, il
is claimed, they took out over $3.50, 900.

WIFE BEATER

GOIdfieId Man viii Have to Stand

Thirty Days.

For a period of thirty days, Sundays

beaten, of Goldfeld, will have to stand
chained to a public post, bearing upon
his breast a large placard bearing the
word wife Beaten" says a dispatch
of the LIST.
Pitied, scorned and ridiculed he will
have to serve out the painful sentence
at Hawthorne, the county seat, whittier
he has already been taken.
For German, a burly loafer has re-
peatedly beaten his wife, a frail little
woman, and when arrested for the
offense he declared that she had been
mistreating him and that he had to
strike and kick her for his own protec-
ton.
"Gorman," said the court, when he
passed sentence, 81 have known you
for a number of years, and | never i'm
agined you could be guilty of such an
offense as this. You have the outward
appearance of a mar but l think you
must be a mere brute of the lowest
order. To beat any woman is beneath
the most depraved man, but to cuff and
kick your wife, the mother of your
children, your faithful and uncomplain-
ing companion through all the troubles
and hardships of life, is a crime so

my supreme contempt and loathing for
you"
German got thirty days in the county
Jail and must stand at the ~placarded
post for two hours of each of those
days.
A. H. Managold, another wife beaten,
was handed three months in Jail.
James LaMarque, a French laundry
man, who struck his partner, Mrs
Cecilia Fleury, was fined $25 and the
costs.
1t looks as though wife beaters anC
woman whippers would do we'll to make

The act establishing the public pos

never been repealed or amended. Il
was hoped its severe penalty would
tend to stop cruelty toward woman, but
it is a matter of record that the law
was rarely enforced.

The Development of Many Mines
With the Most Encouraging
Of OutlOGkS

1t is reported on very good authority
that the Sedan claim, which opened.pp
such high grade ore last week, has been
sold for $45, 900 and 100, 900 shares of
stock in a company to be Immediately
Incorporated, according to the Reno
Journal. Professor j. L. Jenny,
former United States geologist, con-
summated the deal with Bert l.. Smith,
one Of the n of the Sedan claim.
Garrett, another of the owners, and
the one who made the wonderful strike
has been retained by the new company
as superintendent. A double compart-
ment working shaft has been started
adepthof eight feetthe rich ledge and at
was again encountered, and is even
richer than before. The whole bottom
of the shaft is in high grade ore, and
assays above $500 per ton in gold are
frequent. Two shifts of men have
been put to work on the property.
Drifting will soon be commenced on
the 12-foot vein which was cut last
week in the tunnel of the Manhattan
Nevada Gold Mines company at Cen
trail. This ledge is identical to the one
on the famous Manhattan Consolidated
in which the rich oresshoot was found,
and as good assays have already been
obtained, it is more than likely that a
rich ore shoot will be encountered in
this drift. The tunnel is now in the
hill lbs feet, the face being in a lime
spar carrying values. as. high as $40 per
ton in gold.
In the drift from the shaft on lease
No. 3 of the Manhattan Cowboy Min
ing company, a vein four, feet wide has
been encountered, returning values of
$45 per ton in gold across the entire
vein. This ore body trends northwest
and southeast, and is believed to be a
continuation of the wonderful Union
No. 9 vein of the Manhattan Dexter
Mining company. This vein will be
followed and the ore laid to one side on
the dumps awaiting treatment.
Free gold in quantity is being taken
from the tunnel on the Manhattan
Mammoth Mining company at East
Manhattan. The entire face is in ore
that pans very high in free gold, anC
assays as high as $50 per ton. A new
ledge has been discovered below the
tunnel ON the Mammoth property, and
many fine free gold specimens taker
from the workings. From present in
dications a large ore body will be
opened up at this point. The OPERATOR
on the Consolidated Manhattan Mining
company, adjoining the Mammoth OF
the west, are eagerly watching devel
opments ON this vein, as. it is very close
to their line, and tranding directly int
the Consolidated ground. A hasts
