MRS. PLuMMER CONCERT
TO BE BIa SUCCESS

The concert to be given on May II
by Mrs. Anna Colburn Plummer under
the auspices of the Episcopal Ladies
Guild, for the benefit of the San Fran
cisco Relief Fund. promises to be the
greatest success of any entertainment
ever given in Goldheld and from the
present demand for tickets will un-
doubtedly have to be repeated IN the
following night. One broker alone took
one hundred tickets, and many of the
business men are buying from FIVE to
ten apiece. I'M half of the entire pro-
ceeds are to go to the Relief Fund, and
as usual Goldheld is responding in a
generous way, and all who attend the
concert are assured of a delightful
evening, as Mrs. Plummer is a splendid
oratorio singer, having made the hit of
the season in Salt Lake, the papers
there devoting columns of praise to her
remarkable work. Tickets can be OBJ
tanned at Doane & Essentials end
Roberts drug stores and at Anderson's
fruit store OIL Crook avenue.

STRIKE
AT BULLFROG

A rich silver strike is reported to have
been made at Gold Center, on the edge
of the Bullfrog district, which out
classes any silver discovery ever mad
in the southern country. The ledge
was near the surface by
Edgar Boiling. grubstaked by C.. w. Me-
Dorman OF Spokane, and gave returns
of 1000 ounces of silver. with small
amount of gold and copper. An option
was Immediately taken on the property
by Zeb Kendall Of Tonopah, who hap
pened to be in the district. Kendall, 1t
is said. drilled into the ledge at the sur
face. broke OF a half ton of the rock.
and got returns of from 500 to 1900
ounces of silver. 1t Is estimated from
this that there is 5000 worth of ore
that can be shipped from the surface.
as the ledge is strong and extends for
1000 feet or more above ground. old
timers who have examined the strike say
tina IL is one of the greatest surface
showings of silver ever found in Ne
vada. The ledge on the surface is from
2 to 3 feet wide. is in place and well de-
fined, and seems to widen as 1t goes
down. The surrounding country is
greatly excited over the discovery.

HON. GEORGE 8. NIXON
MAKES VISIT TO aoLDF1ELD

Senator George s. Nixon was in Gold
field this week and after looking over
his banking and mining interests re-
turned to Tonopah whence he left
Wednesday for his duties at the ma
tional capital.
lthoug his visit was briefer than
he expected IL to be, Senato Nixon had
time to examine into the situation pref
ty thoroughly and expressed himself as
delighted with the physical and financial
condition of Goldheld. He said he had
seen the evidence of progress on every
hand, and not anywhere more than In
the showing made by the bank of which
he is president. He was very optimistic
about the future and predicts great
things for camp and town.
Senator Nixon was called to Washing
ton by telegram. announcing that a vote
was soon to be taken on the railroad
rate bill. The senator is naturally
greatly interested in this measure as II
deeply affects the interests of his con-
stituents. The senator hopes to be able
to get a Reconsideration of the Gold
field and Tonopah postofices, whereby
they will be enabled to have an in
creased force and give the service that
their business requires.
Senator Nixon spoke as IL he would
be back in Nevada by the first of Jun
Until that time there will be no plans
for the meeting of the state central
committee of the Republican party,
which will signalize the opening of the
campaign this fall.
The senator is very popular In Gold
field and his services in the senate are
highly appreciated.

PosEY AND MITCHELL
VISITING aoLDFIELo

o. p. Posey and his associate w. f.
Mitchell are doing the camp of Gold
field, and they nave found much to as
tonish them. They visited some of the
biggest mines of the district yesterday
with D.. Mackenzie. among them being
the Mohawk. They expressed great sur
prise at the size, strength and richness
of the veins here, and although iome-
what familiar in a general way with
Goldfeld said they had no idea that the
camp contained such mines as they saw
yesterday. Mr.. Posey thought that In
this camp an ore shoot must come to
the surface to prove of any value, but
he is now disabused of this idea. The
result of his visit may possibly result
in heavy investments here.

arrangements and Salt Lake will be
their headquarters for the next few
weeks. The Fred Crowells are antici-
pating a trip to Tahoe, and by the end

motif for a number of these. the first
of which was a dinner given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Tilden Friday evening in her
home.
Saturday Mrs. Sprague shared honors
with Mrs. Rogers at Mrs. Fred Crowell's
whist party. Those winning prizes
were Mrs. Duffield and Mrs. Lathrap.

tertained informally with bridge whist.

is a prince of hosts. entertained a few
friends. some of his chafing dish re-
cipes for which he is famous were

afternoon was one of the most elaborate
as well as longest, there being ten
tables, which has been given.
Saturday Mrs. Will Ish is giving a
luncheon of twelve to Miss Wier. who
leaves for her home in New York Sun
day morning. Later in the summer Miss
Wier anticipates a trip with her sister

ton had already preceded her from her
former home in Colorado Springs.

camp of the north. The acquisition of
