GOLD MINE REVEALED
BY HEAVY transform
Prospector Finds in an Abandoned
Claim Bountiful Store of
Glittering Ore

SALT LAKE CITY, April For the
luck 20 which some are heir. OF the mis-
fortune by which others are cheated. J.
NJ. HiSkey. superintendent OF the Ne
vada Central Railway, has returned 10
the local offices In this city with a strik-
Ing example.
For fifteen years n ranchman, whose
estate is situated in the shadow OF
Round Mountain, twelve miles north of
Manhattan. New. had been locating q
group OF claims that were traversed by
a ledge of quartz. in this he had done
some work with Indifferent results and
finally broke through IL and into what
he conceived TO be the country rock.
The quartz refused to pan results. how
ever, and last season the location was
abandoned
A few weeks ago Louis D. Gordon. a
prospector residing at Austin. came upon
the deserted dump just after a shower
had enlivened its appearance and in the
rock. which happened 10 be nothing less
than rhyolIte. detected the glitter OF
gold. What followed. said Mr.. Hiskey,
is quickly told.
The relocation made. Gordon went 70
work in the rhyolite by which the quartz
had been displaced and a Few hours later
was engaged in panning out gold A
few days later a party happened along
and found the new owner engaged In his
work.
Gordon was asked to put a price on his
location, and a few moments later was
reveling. says Mr.. Hiskey. over a check
for no less than 50. 900. He might have
as easily doubled the sum had he ap-
preciated his customers, for they were
the representatives of men of large
means and are at present opening up a
fissure that promises to be made one OF
the most productive in the country.

E|RE.-ESCAPE LAW
FEELING ITS WAY
Commissioners Take Notice
of Many Protests.
CONSULT OWNERS DESIRES
They viii Be Granted Fullest Latitude
Possible Under Terms
of Act.
CONSULT OWNERS DESIRES

Engineer Commissioner John Biddle
stated today that in the enforcement of
the new fire-escape law. it is the desire
of the Commissioners to give prop
erty owners as much latitude as pos
sible, both as to the character of fire.
escapes erected and the time for com
Dliance with the law after the forma!
notice of erection is served.
This statement. coming at this time,
IS pointed out as an indication that the
Commissioners have taken cognizance OF
the many protests which the passage
OF the law has oecasioned. and Will not
be disposed to begin its general en-
forcement until they are thoroughly &C
quainted with the situation
General Enforcement Delayed.
In this connection it is stated that the
general enforcement OF the law will
hardly be taken up until after the
passage Of the District appropriation
bill, which contains a provision for the
appointment of two additional inspec-
tors for the Building Department, who
will In all probability be designated TO
undertake a coIrplete inspection of the
city. Before these inspectors are Sc
cured, however, it is likely that the
Commissioners will devise some plan
by which TO proceed with the work
Another statement made by Commits
sioner Biddle is to the effect that prop
erty owners will be asked 70 submit
suggestions and plans for fre-escapes
which they regard as best suited for
their own buildings. as well as the To-
cations for their erection.
One Difficult Bone Of Contention.
However liberal this construction OF
the law may be, argument against the
provision of the act compelling the
erection of Horoscopes on freproot
buildings Is still vigorously maintained
by the local business men who have or
ganized TO secure, IL possible. its
amendment. They still contend that
until some relief from this drastic pro-
vision is Afforded, the law will work
hardship 10 the community. And in
support of this contention they point
10 the fact thht inasmuch as the old
law invested the Commissioners with
authority ITO Exempt certain buildings
of known RT<proof construction. ii is
falr 10 maintain that such a provision
should have been Incorporated in thu
new law.
This argument. IL IS stated will b
prominently urged as a reason for ar
amendment of the law by the loca
business mems committee when they
take the matter uD with the District
Committees in Congress.

AGAINST PRIESTS ESTATE
NIECE MAKES BIG CLAIM
els Rudolf, of connersviiIc, Asks
Court to Grant Her Nearly $4,000
for Services.

A dispatch from Connersville says
that Miss Louise NJ Rudolf, niece OF
the late Rev. Father Francis Rudolf,
well known to Richmond Catholics and
pastor of st. Gabriel's church, who
died last July, has filed claim against
the estate, calling for 1916. Miss
Rudolf alleges that in May, 1880, she
was engaged by her uncle as house
keeper, and as the nurse and compan-
ion of his aged mother and she contin-
ued in such service for 603 weeks,
when the mother of Father Rudolf
died For this service she demands
SO a week
She was then retained aot only as
housekeeper. but as assistant by
Father Rudolf, and continued in his
employ for T56 weeks until his death.
For this service she asks s. a week.
The complaint alleges that Father Ru-
dolf agreed to provide for her during
life, and to bequeath to her mis- estate
at time of death, but, instead. she only
received 1915 in personal property.
Her total claim calls for $3.50, from
which the value of the personal prop
erty is deducted. Father Rudolf was
pastor of the church for twenty-five
years.

TWO BOARDS WILL MEET
TO TALK SEWER SYSTEM
Earlham College Authorities are Will
ling to Connect College Sewerage
Plant With Proposed System on the
West Side.

The Earlham college authorities
have signified their desire to connect
the college sewerage system with the
proposed new west side system which
probably will be built next spring
Tomorrow President Kelly and mem
bers of the college board will meet
with the Board Of Works at the city
hall to talk over the matter Engi-
neer Fred Charles is at work now on
plans for the proposed system but
they will not be completed for some
time. Ii has not been definitely de-
termined whether filtration plant
will be put in or not, but it likely will
be done Engineer Charles said yes
terday that the proposition to install
age system of the city was thing
for the future, not for the present.
II is regarded as extremely likely
that there will be legislative act at
no far distant day which will prohibit
the drainage OF sewage directly into
the streams of the State and if this
is done filtration plants viii become
universal. At the present time the
sewage which runs into Whitewater
river does not pollute that stream to
a dangerous extent. Excepting at
times when the river is very low, as
it frequently is in midsummer, the,
effect of the sewage is scarcely dis
cernible.

Market Master Waterman
= Hears There Have Been
Short Tons of Coal.
TO MAKE INVESTIGATION
ALL SCALES ARE INSPECTED
<AND<THE FAULT DOES NOT LIE
NERE INFORMATION FROM
INDIANAPOLIS.

Henry Waterman, city market
master and inspector of weights and
measures, said yesterday that sevN-
afcomplaints had been made TO his
by citizens TO the effect
that they were of the opinion that
they had received short weights in
coal. Market Master Waterman is
arranging to look after a. such
complaints which are brought to his
attepfion in time for action The
scafes of all coal dealers are subject
70 inspection by the city officers and
short weights are not likely TO be
accidental therefore There is no
beliefftnat such practice is perpre-
trated by any Richmond dealers. but
tits the duty of the city authorities
40 take cognizance of any complaints
filed and TO investigate the same
promptly. Market Master Waterman
said that when a patron of any coal
company received a load of fuel
which he had reason to believe is not
up to full weight, his recourse IS TO
notify the market master immediate
" ana 10 not permit the coal 10 De
unloaded until the market master re-
spends and has the load weighed UNI
der his direction. Coal companies al
ways send a certificate of weight with
each order aid there has not been
up TO this time any direct evidence
that short weights have been given.
Market Master Waterman probably
will so to Indianapolis for the pur-
pose Of acquainting himself with the
methods pursued there when patrons
of coal companies complain of short
weights. In that city there appears
TO have been several companies that
have persistentIy failed to deliver
full tonnage and as consequence
arrests an prosecutions have been
numerous this winter.
