Pertinent Inquiry.

Walter j. Travis was about to tee
off. The green velvet links were
beautiful in the limpid air of a bril-
liant and cold morning. Mr.. Travis,
smiling, said:
"a conceited stranger came here to
play the other day. in stunning
suit he staggered out, teed up his ball
and was off.
when he had holed out at No. 1 he
said to his caddy:
Where is the next hole, boy?'
"The caddy ro,nted to a red flag
some 200 yarCs away.
"'There, SIR he said.
"'Ah,' seid the player, preparing for
an enormous stroke, that will Just
take a drive and put
And swish went his club through
the air and brown swirl of turf and
dust arose and the little white ball
rolled slowly about eight feet
"The caddy smiled and said:
care ye takin' the put first, sir?' "

A Matter of Concern

Mining men who have large interests
between Goldfeld and Bullfrog are Won
dering what route will be taken by the
Tonopah and Goldfeld railroad COM
pany in constructing its Bullfrog extern
sion, according to a dispatch last Mon
day from Goldfeld. If the road is built
by way of Stonewall mountain it will
place the mines in the vicinity Of Gold
mountain at a great advantage. They
are now trying to induce the company
to build by way of Thorpe's wells. The
railroad people have not as yet COM
mitted themselves in regard to the mat
ter. They have had two surveys made
and it is generally understood that the
officers are celebrating which to choose
The general impression prevails that
the company has an expert investiga'
ting the Gold mountain mines and i
the report is favorable to the exten'
that a larger tonnage of ore can b.
secured by keeping to the west Will b.

HE INTENDED TO
KILL HIMSELF ALSO
More Information Concerning the
Brutal Murder at RhyOlite.

According to latest advices from Rhyo-
lite it appears that Steve O'Brien, who
foully murdered his wife in that place
on the 18th ult. by stabbing her with a
miners candlestick, had intended to
also kill himself-as appeared from an
examination of his remains after the
fatal tragedy, when something like nine
self-infiicted wounds were found on his
body in the region of the heart, hone of
them, however, penetrating deeply
enough to produce immediate death,
but some of them were deep enough to
have caused death later II. 1t appears
further that he had deliberately planned
for the affair, having gone to a black
smith and had a keen point put on his
candlestick, while in his vest pocket
was found after his death a formidable
looking pocket knife with the blade
OPEN which he no doubt intended to
use in case the candlestick should be
taken from him before he could accom-
plish his purpose.
Contrary to the belief prevailing at
the time, that Mrs. O'Brien was stabbed
only twice, her body showed that she
had received no less than five thrusts,
nearly all in the region Of the heart.
In his fury O'Brien tried to seize his
sister-in-law, Miss Campion, who was
ill and in bed from an attack Of pneu.
monia, and had she not succeeded in es-
Gaping she probably would have also
fallen a victim Of his wrath.
The coroner's jury in its verdict ex.
onerated Deputy Mcdonald, who killed
O'Brien, from all blame.
The remains of Mrs. O'Brien were
brought to Tonopah last Sunday for in
terment. Those of O'Brien were oil
the same day shipped to Bodie, Cal.
his former home for burial.
A daughter 7 years of age survive
the couple.

IS
KEEPING UP
Richest Properties at that Place
Receiving Least Publicity.

The great mining camp Of Manhattan
is still keeping up its mark in the way
Of furnishing news of wonderful strikes
and good showings made in every day
development on its properties, writes a
correspondent on the 26th ult. The
newspapers at the outset devoted col
umns of matter to these properties,
but gradually lessened their space until
but the merest mention is made of them.
The stability of the lodges of the Man.
haitian district and the proven values at
depth have so cemented public conf
dence that investors, in the security of
their faith in these properties, have
turned their eyes elsewhere to note the
newer prospects that are weekly COM
ing to the fore.
Manhattan is certainly one of the
wonders of the State of Nevada when
its most rapid growth is considered.
When one remembers that on January
LIST 1906, there were barely 100 persons
here, and that the business houses es-
tablished at that time comprised two
grocery stores, six saloons, three board
ing houses and one lumber yard, one
simply marvels that this thriving COM
munity of several thousand souls, en-
gagged in the various business activities
that are foundin the older communities,
sprang from so insignificant beginning
within the space of a few short months.
But when one considers the reason fol-
the remarkable growth Of this young
giant, one can readily understand why
it has grown up, as n might say, in
the course Of a night. The marvellous
discovery of gold in the hills around
this city have caused it all, and wher
we state that these discoveries exec
anything of the sort hitherto brought
to light, we simply state a fact that i:
acknowledged by the mining experts
who have visited this section, as wei
as by every one else who has taken the
trouble to make Investigations.
Rich at the grass roots. the golC
found here increases in value as thu
developments progress, and that is VIII!
Manhattan has grown from its insignifi
cent beginning in 1906, as described
to the proportions of a splendid mining
town supporting an intelligent an
progressive citizenship and a line o
business houses that is prepared t
cater to the wants of all.

S15O,OOO ORE AT
ROUND MOUNTAIN
An Astonishing Specimen From
GOldfield On Exhibition

The greatest display OF golu, TAKEN
direct from the ground, eve shown in
this camp-possibly ever shown any
where in the history of gold mining is
now exhibited in the windows of Doane
g. Rosenthal on Main street. This ore
was brought down to camp Tuesday
night by Mr.. ]. R. Davis from Round
Mountain, says the Goldfeld News. In
this display there are probably about
20 pounds, having an actual gold value
Of about So, 900. The gold is in seams
and bands and crystals from a quarter
70 half an inch thick of solid metal,
and the assay value is safely $3.50, 900
per ton.
This ore was taken within the last
few days from the scene of the first
strike at Round Mountain and origi-
nally located by Mr.. Louis d. Gordon.
According to Mr.. Davis statement the
vein runs the entire length of the
eround-a distance of 1900 feet-and
varies at the surface from a to 20 feet
in width, and at every point for the en-
tire length the vein pans gold wherever
opened. The greatest depth reached
at the present time is rs feet, and this
rich ore occurs in small stringers from
the surface down to the present depth,
while the accompanying ore body-3 to
9 feet wide-runs from SIS to $40 a ton.
In this country of marvels this strike
seems to out-top them all, and the for
tunate group of men who own it would
seem to be the favored of the gods
these are Louis D. Gordon, ]. R. Davis,
J.. P. Lotus, John S. Cook, ]. P.
Sweeney, Lewis Rodgers and c. R.
Scott.
Mr.. Scott, it will be remembered, was
a rival claimant to ownership in the
original location. For a time serious
trouble was threatened and the prop
erty was for weeks under shotgun
guard. Fortunately, however, for al
concerned, every question of title has
been amicably settled-Mr. Scott was
recognized and given a place or the
directorate.
Mr.. Davis is president of the corpor
alton and manager in charge, but th'
work at the mines is under the ablt
direction of Mr.. James Mcdonald, on
of the most reputable and capable mel
in the business. To him is due tn,
credit of the successful opening of thil
ground. To his hands entirely is en-
trusted not only the mining of thi'
wonderful treasure but also its preser
walton, and whatever may be thu
temptation, there will be no high-grad
ing where Jim Mcdonald holds tn,
reins. He has now a force of ten men
and that number will be increased a
rapidly as possible. The present plan
of the company involves the erection o
a mill on the ground at once. Onl
so, 900 shares of the stock have eve
been sold, and it is undecided as we
whether any more shall eve be issued
1t has been suggested that this or
from Round Mountain be sent out I
the east and exhibited, as an assuran
to the outside that the opinion quote
above has a foundation in fact. MI
Shock ley, a mining engineer of highes
reputation, will take the exhibit cas-
with him. He will try to be present 9
the re-opening of the San FrancisC
board. He will visit Chicago, Pitt
burg, Philadelphia, Boston, New Yorl
and all the great centers of the east.
