The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1906-12-11

Goldfield, New, Dec. S.-Wbile
the regular force of miners were at
work last night in the Hayea-Mor-
nette mine in the famous Mohawk
lease, a tunnel was excavated around
the heavy partition of the strong
room and IS sacks of the richest OF 9
valued at $4,000 taken out. The
robbery was discovered this morn
Ing. The apartments from which
this treasure was stolen was formed
by a partition of heavy timbers be-
ing placed across the deserted drift.
To add to the strength of the room
strong wedges were insertedbetween
the timbers and the walls of the
drift. The robbers removed one of
these wedges and In the place Of it
had been dug hole entering the
vault. The aperture was made
large enouge for man to enter and
be able to remove the sacks.
The Truett mine is working no
shift between the hours of eleven
o'clock at night and 7o'clock in
the morning, and it is thought
probable that the robbers entered
through the shaft of this mine and
removed their booty through the
same shaft. 9}ii "
This robbery Is the third of series
of depredations that have been
committed on the Mohawk isase,
The first of these occurred October
20, WHEN masked men held up and
robbed the guards at the Hayes
Nom cite mine, securing ore valued
at$12.50O. The second happened
Nov. 8. when the guards at tht
Frances Mohuwk were doped ano
| $4,000 worth of re was packee
away on burros while they slept.

A FUEL FAMINE
A WOMAN BURNS HER BED-xs
STEDS AND PUTS IN IRON
ONES.
Families Are Suffering for the Want
of Fuel Which Dealers Are I'm
able to Obtain-Other
Newe.

Wsrduer, Idaho, Dec. THE
fuel famine has reached an acute
stage and many families are suffer-
ing. Slippery roads make it al
most impossible to gather wood in
the hills and the dealers are unable
to spare enough to keep fires in the
hotels and restaurants.
Miss Maggie Doyle. proprietor of
the Ideal Restaurant, has just used
up the last cf her wooden bedsteads
snd has replaced them with iron
ones, thinking cheaper to buy bed
steads and burn the wooden ones
than to close up business. Other
boarding houses are even in worse
condition. where they have not ev.
en- bedsteads to burn. Many report
the loss OF articles of furniture in
the effort to keep fire enough to pre-
vent suffering and to get meals: .
Dealers hold out no hope for the
present, they state they bave enough
ordered to supply the wants, but
cannot get it delivered.

FROM EDITOR To
FARMER
He is AN EXCEEDINGLY LUCKY
MAN
W. S. Robinson Of Grass Valley
Sets an Example That is
Worthy Of Emulation

w. S. Robinson, formerly a newspaper
man of Grass Valley, having at one time
been editor of the Tidings in that city,
has thrown off the yoke of bondage
and, like all men Of judgment who vacate
the editorial chair and pass the Faber
into the hands of another sham dool, -
concluded to work for himself instead of
the dear public. He said to himself,
there is no kind of labor SO wearing ON
man as newspaper work and l am
going to put my hand to the pillow share
and with team of broncoes turn over
the soil and see if | can't eat beefsteak
instead of toast and tea" He came into
Humboldt county and purchased the old
Meecham and Blakslee ranch north of
the Humboldt House and began life
anew (This reporter has too much
respect for Mr. Robinson to ask him
where he got the money to make the
purchase, but he made it.) Mr.. Robin
son was in Winnemucca yesterday and
today and reports that he is happy for
making the change He says that now
all he has to do is to get up at an early
hour in the morning, do the chores,
milk the cows, hitch up his horses and
follow the plowgor the harrow until after
sun down, do more chores and go to bed.
He says it is simply boys play compared
to newspaper work. He is now rid of
the delinquent subscriber, the work of
writing business puffs, the care of look
ing after the makeup" the press, the
groan of the Mergenthaler has no more
terror for him, the collecting Of bills and
the thousand and one other things a
country newspaper man has to contend
with, say nothing about the advice he
has hammered into his ears by Tom,
Dick and Harry as to how to run q
newspaper Mr.. Robinson is a fine fellow
and if he is as good farmersas he was a
newspaper man he will make lots of
money on his farm in Humboldt. Mr..
Robinson at one time was neighbor OF
Mrs. w. S. Porter, the wife of DIR. Por-
ter of Winnemucca.
Mi. Robinson represented Nevada
county three terms In the California
legislature. He will return to his farm
this evening on No. B.

South Omaha, Feb. z, 1906
The run of hay-fed cattle has been
moderate here the past week, but the
quality as rule has been only fair, and
no really good cattle have been received
At the present time the beef trade is not
in a very healthy condition, and the
feeder buyers are taking all the hay-feds
at more money than packers are willing
to pay At the present time good heavy
fl1shy feeders are quotable at 81 to $4. so;
fair to good 1875 to 81; good to choice,
light and medium cattle $3.50 to $4.4 .25;
fair to good $3.50 to $3.S5. There is
very good inquiry for the butcher stock
from the west and cows and heifers are
selling mostly within $500 to $3.50 with
Gamers around $500
Indications favor heavier shipment
from western points during the coming
thirty days. We expect to see consider
able Improvement in the demand for
beef and believe the feeder buyers will
also be quite anxious for supplies. With
conditions quite favorable from all sources
it is not unlikely that we will see sub
stantial improvement in the trade for all
classes of beef stock as well as feeding
steers.
