NEW WATER COMPANY
rs RUSHING BUSINESS

R. N. King and j. G. Reber, of Day
ton, Ohio, and R. H. Kessel, of New
York, eastern capitalists who are put
ting in the new water plant in Gold
field under the name of the Esmeralda
Water company, have been in the city
this week in conference with Super
tiers pertaining to the installation of
the plant.
three months to have it's system com
plete and ready for operation. On the
side of the butte which overlooks the
city, in the rear of the Gardner mill,
the company is putting up a large steel
reservoir, 80 feet high with a capacity
of 100000 gallons of water. From a
well, through which the company has
developed quite an adequate supply,
the water will be pumped to the reser-
voir, and from there distributed by
gravity to all sections of the city. By
reason of the elevation of the tank the
pressure will be unusually high, and
will distribute water to every section
of the city. The well which the com
pany has sunk on the side of the hill
is understood to be merely a temporary
affair as the company is figuring upon
another source of supply. Just where
this supply win be secured, the gentle
men interested in the project were not
disposed to say. The trench from the
well to the reservoir has been com
pleted and as soon as the pipe arrives,
and it is expected daily, the connec-
ton will be made, and work on the
mains and laterals throughout the city
will be commenced without delay.
Eight-inch mains will be used and
fire plugs put in at convenient loca-
tions.
l.. S. Finnegan, of this city, is also
interested in the company.

RCHCREEK SECTION
New Mineral Country Being Opened
Up Near Ida

There IL a section of mineral bearing
-copnsrv about IL miles from the thriv-
ing camp Of Ida whose possibilities al
.hou0h little heralded are above the
average anG it would not be surprising
If a number Of productive mines wee
opened up there within a comparatively
short s,.,ce Of time. The area is known
as the Birch Greek district and IS
located on the north slope of the Pal
metto range. Surfaee exploration n
shafts of no,ninal dsp'1 IA c resulted
in the opening up of a numbe: OF
promising veins which at depth VIII
probably hold pay values. Assay re-
turns as high as 5000 to the ton have
been secured on the float and samples
taken from the outcrop likewise return
good values.
Shirley, Duval, Warner and Curtin
are co-partners in a group of IA claims
there and on each one of which there
is a favorable surface showing. The
lodges are big and strong and can be
traced from east to west for nearly a
mile. They pan and assay well wherever
prospected and are invariably well min
eralized. The formation is a porph.r-
rite granite with the intrusions well
marked. Appearances indicate that
the mineralized zone is extensive and
well worth exploring. On one of the
claims a tunnel has tapped a lead OF
lively looking quartz which assays
from So to sos to the ton and it is now
being explored for a shoot.
Quite an amount Of development
work has been done on the group At
various point and in each instance has
resulted in the finding of ore. At the
west end of the main ledge high grade
values are obtained and at points along
its strike excellent copper values pre-
vail. The latter disappear, however,
as the lead is followed To the east aud
manganese makes it's appearance. 1t
is thought the Birch Creek group would
make an ideal cyaniding proposition as
the per cent of copper is not sufficient,
ly great to interfere with the success,
full treatment of the ores.
Adjoining the Birch Creek claims is
a smaller acreage on which good values
are also being found. An ore body has
been opened up and assays of $40 OBJ
tanned at nominal depth, surface values
running as high as 5000 per ton
Further development is expected to re.
veal a high grade shoot. Mining opera
tions can be conducted at a minimum
of cost as there is an abundance of tim
Der and the waters of Birch and Ne
vada creeks will supply all required fol-
mining purposes.

WILL VISIT GoLDFIELD
IN THE PHENIX CASE

Judge Murphy, of the district court,
will be in Goldfeld within a few days
to satisfy himself upon a number OF
points involved in the litigation over
several claims just north of the city, IN
the Phenix addition. The Gillespie
application for a patent on placer
locations is being contested by the
Phenix interests on the ground that
the land is quartz and not placer
ground. Considerable testimony has
been taken by Judge Murphy an
about an equal number of witnesses
have testified on either side. A por-
ton of the testimony is to the effect
that the land is placer ground and
other testimony would establish it as
quartz ground.
Judge Murphy, during last week s
session of the district court, told sew
eral Goldfeld men representing the in
~terests in the litigation that inasmuch
as the testimony was somewhat con-
Aicting, that he would come to Gold
field and look the property owe him
self. The Gillespie application and
the adverse claims put in by the
Phenix interests involve the owner
ship Of valuable ground upon which IS
located the Gold Bar and Golden
placer.
In connection with the suit it might
be added that a petition has been filed
with the district court by a number of
citizens, asking the court to establish
a TOWNSHIP on the grounds that the land
is non-mineral.
The case is an interesting one, and
as it involves residence as well as min
eral property of no small value, its ad-
judication by the court will be watched
with interest.

MINE Is FOUND
Judge Bethune Property in Funeral
Range Relocated

News was received from Rhyolite
this week telling of the location by
three prospectors of the Betiune mine
in the Funeral range. The relocation
of the property recalls the disappear
ance. and unquestionably the death OF
Judge Lawrence Bethune, who started
from Goldfeld the first of last August
for his claims in the funeral range
and who has never returned. George
Bethune. of Goldfield, a brother OF the
missing man, has given up all hopes Of
ever seeing his brother alive again. IL
is presumed that Judge Bethune, who
was "a wears of age, died in the torrid
heat of the August sun-that his $40 u
heart failed in the journey to a prop
ertv that was destined to make him
rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
For fifty years Judge Bethune, VINO
was one of the picturesque character
of the west, had lived on the frontier,
mining alternately in the various
wealth producing states. he WORKED
ON the Comstock As years ago, ana
delved into the earth in Colorado In
the early days of the Centennial state
Tn Montana he was associated with
Marcus DAILY in a number of mining
enterprises, long before the now de-
ceased copper king became the head
Of the Anaconda company.
Four years ago, as one OF the nrst
TO penetrate the rich mineral sections
of extreme Southern Nevada, Judge
Betbune went far in advance of the
last mining outposts and ~prospected
through the Funeral range, a section
which was considered by many pros
pectors as impossible. He located
number of claims which for richness
are claimed to be phenomenal. Assays
running from a few dollars up into the
thousands were secured from samples
which Judge Bethune brought back
from the south in 1902.
1t was not until last August that
Judge Bethune decided to return to the
property and thoroughly explore the
lodges and bring out samples that
would enable him to dispose of the
mine to a syndicate. He was grub
staked by his brother George Bethune
and L. S. Finnegan. From the day he
left Goldfeld no tidings have been re
ceived from him and he has been giver
up for dead.

After all it seems as though Rich
mond will get to see circus. The ad-
vance agent of Cole Bros. Circus was
in the city yesterday and took out a
$500 license to show here on Aug
I. The circus has recently come from
Australia playing en- route at various
points in Canada. II will come here
from Hamilton. o. There are many
who may recall the last time that this
circus showed in the city about fif
teen years ago on South 9Th street
when persons say they never saw
such a rain as poured down on the
tent.
Advance Agent w. Murphy was in
the city yesterday and let the con-
tract for feed to Howard Ridge and
Son of North 9th street. They order
ed seven tons of hay, one hundred
and fifty bushels of oats and seven
tons of straw. This compares very ia
'vorably with Hagenbeck's and other
circuses that have visited the CITY, 1t
will show at the grounds On the cor
ner of South Sth and H streets, the
grounds at 10Th street being unavail-
able As Richmond Is circus hungry
the show will no doubt carry much
money out of the city.

Lincoln, Neb, July 1.-THE home
coming reception to William J. Bryan
on his return will be held at the Lin
coin home of the former Presidential
candidate. Omaha and Lincoln had
been rivals for the honor of holding
the Bryan home coming, but Bryan
himself settled the matter by decid-
ing in favor of Lincoln.
Bryan's decision was conveyed to
Mayor Dahlman, of Omaha in a letter
in which he says he appreciates the
desire of the citizens of Omaha to re-
ceive him on his return, but says he
feels his first duty is to his home city,
Lincoln. He has advised Mayor Dahl
man that he will gladly go to Omaha
for a reception if the citizens there
wish it, and he suggests that a date
be fixed week later than the recep-
tioa at Lincoln.
Mayor Dahlman announced today
that Omaha would accept the wishes
and a reception will be rendered to
Mr.. Bryan on any date agreeable to
him.
Committees already have been ap-
pointed to arrange for the homecom-
ing reception in Lincoln. The date
will probably be within week after
Bryan lands in New York.

THE MONEY ORDER
BUSINESS IS BIG
Postoffice Sends Out and RO

Manner Annually.
ANY AMOUNT CAN BE SENT
THE SMALLEST ORDER EVER
MADE OUT HERE WAS FOR TWO
CENTS, WHICH WENT TO EA-
TON-INCREASE LAST YEAR.

One would scarcely realize the
amount of business which goes on
through the money order department
of the local postoffice and the large
amounts which are handled each year.
Money orders may be taken out for
any amount from one cent to one hun.
dred dollars. The lowest money or.
der ever written in the local office
was for two cents and was made out
for Eaton.
Last year the office issued 1860
money orders, which amounted to
s92, ,600.63; received from other Of
fees 1872, On which were paid out
s116,354.14. About one-tnird of the
money orders coming into the city are
presented at the local banks for pay
ment. During the past year there
were 1S1 international money orders
issued from the local office. This Of
fee, by virtue of its size, may retain
a reserve fund of 1000 on hand all
the time in this department.

865 registered articles were sent out
No account of those received is kept
This number shows an increase of 35z
