NEW COMPANY.

Dan McHedy, Jim Curney, Mr.
Dayton from Ely have located a
large group of mining claims in
the flat adjoining town on the
north on which they are sinking
a permanent three compartment
working shaft. They propose to
go to the deep, cross cut and
develop until they have located
the source of rich float found in
abundance there. The character
OF the ore is unlike any found in
the district and thus the opinion
prevails that its source is imme-
diately in at section. It has
been known for a number of
years that rich rock existed in
the flat running as high as 600
OF per ton, but on account of the
wash and silt covering made
prospecting expensive and diff
ficult. Recently a porphry in
trusion has been discovered in
the vicinity parallelling east and
west the Uba dixie and it is along
this belt these gentlemen propose
to explore. 1t is the opinion of
some of our foremost local min
ing men that the fiat below town
contains large bodies of market
able ore and considerable excite
ment prevails on account of the
interest manifest by the gentle
men from Ely. Seventeen claims
have been located by different
parties and it is very likely that
several will proceed to dev elor
the fiat.

WORK TO COMMENCE.

At last the San Pedro railroad
Company have taken the initial
to build the branch line from
Caliente to Phoebe. Ties, rails
and men in from ten to twenty
car lots are arriving in Caliente
every day and the announcement
is made that work will begin in
earnest on or about the first of
November. One hundred Japs
are engaged in unloading material
for the Phoebe road and teams
and scrapers are expected to ar
rive daily from the south. The
boom has already started for this
section, Caliente is lively and
within 80 days from now people
will be jumping over themselves
to get in.

AN ADMIRABLE
FEATURE.

And of the really admirable
features of the present campaign
is the fact that good fellowship
and true friendliness exists
opposing party nominees. Each
side to honorable to throw dirt
each efficient and competent to
fill the various offices they seek
makes this one of the cleanest
campaigns ever conducted in
Lincoln County. The anxiety of
some is of course great, being
strong and good men on each
side, but the manly friendship
existing exhibits the public
citizenship of Lincoln County as
unsurpassed by any. For in
stance Willie Orr, is the nominee
of the Democratic party for
Clerk while his father, Alex Orr
and his brother Roy are Republi-
cans. On the other hand Eugene
Goodrich is the nominee for
Recorder and Auditor on the
Republican ticket while his father
H. J. Goodrich is a stounch Demo-
crat. Such is the population of
of this Western Country and
each and every one broad enough
to be good citizens.

a FIGHT.

An alteration occurred at
Caliente one day last week be-
tween DR.. W. P. Murray and
Frank Warren, commonly known
as Brady The trouble, it
seems, arouse over a political
discussion between the two when
Murray struck Brady, who was
sitting in a rocking chair and
severely furnishing him. Mr..
Warren Brady" was at the:time
a fit subject for the hospital and
waiting conveyance to Delamar
to go under the care of a
physician.

The narrow gage man is al

and he hates himself for his own

hates others. Such is the condi-

personality who would resort to
criminal libel proceedings when
his pet ambitions are questioned.

Is THIS CRIMINAL
LIBEL?

The following paragraph is the
basis of a criminal action brought
against the Pioche RECORD by
W. P. Murray, of Caliente, who
at the present time is
under the employ of the Los
Angeles and San Pedro railroad:
A Fair Shake.
Irrespective of partisan in
terests we are constrained to say
that the fight made against Jake
johnson and District Attorney
Chas. L. Horsey by the tender
loin element of Caliente and Las
Vegas, headed by Doctor Muir
ray and other Irrational sore
heads, will not gain any strength
among law-abiding citizens. No
county in the west has ever had
a sheriff who has so firmly and
fearlessly stood for law and
order and executed his duty
among the most desperate Grim
inals that ever infested the west
without fear or favor as has
Jake johnson. This is one time
in the history of Lincoln county
politics when it is up to the real
citizens to defend man without
a blemish upon his public charac-
ter against the most uncertain
and depraved element conceived
by man. This is a fight con-
ceived in iniquity against two
mon who executed the law as
directed by the last grand Jury,
and, if for no other reason, every
citizen should stand patin their
defense" s..
The action was brought in the
Justice Court at Galiente before
Judge Maynard, District Attor-
ney Horsey prosecuting and the
case is set for 1uesday Oct 3Oth.
Murray imagines he is injured
and for that he wants revenge
through criminal action. The
occasion of the above remarks
was induced by Murray's action
in leading a delegation against
Jake Johnson at the County
Republican Convention held at
Las Vegas September the 18th,
because Sheriff johnson and Dis
trict Attorney Horsey executed
the law requiring LEVIED women
to have apartments seperate
from public saloon joints. This
enraged the joint owners and a
fight ensued against the candid
acy of Jake Johnson for Sheriff.
The legal proceeding against this
disreputable element occurred
at Caliente and Las Vegas and
the consequence was the delega-
tion from both these places,
consisting largely of persons who
felt aggrieved appeared and bit
terly fought Johnson nomination.
These delegation were headed
by Murray---he was their prin-
cipal spokesman---it was he who
led Taylor to slaughter before
the convention. 1t was open
talk on the streets that if Taylor
received the nomination and
was elected the saloons would be
thrown open to public prostitutes
which means all kinds of lasciv-
iousness and a repetition of the
criminal condition just prior to
the action of Sheriff Johnson
and Chas. Lee Horsey. Much
could be said in truth of the ac-
ton and the article referred to
above is mild in comparison with
what should be said. If this
paragraph constitutes criminal
libel then journalism and the
press generally should be de-
clared a crime and the country
turned over to hoodlumism.
This proceeding, it seems, was
conjured for political buncomb
solely, except that a malicious
imagination or insane conception
of decency is prevalent.

Course of Five Lectures.

Many Of our people have read
acc 1unts of DR.. E. o. Taylor's
lectures in other towns of the
state and are manlfesting a great
interest in his coming to Edge
field. His lectures are unique III
that they deal with the great sub
ject of Temperance chiefly from
a Scientific standpoint, showing
The injurious effects of strong
drink upon the body as we'll as the
mental and moral natures. In one
of his lectures he makes practi-
ca! analysis of a glass of beer,
showing how much alcohol it con-
tains and what remains after the
alcohol has been taken from it.
While every lecture will be. free,
yet each one will be worth more
than some we pay half dollar
for the privilege of hearing. Dr..
Taylor will speak..in the Baptist
.ehurch, the first lecture being on
Thursday evening, February the
.22nd. Urge your neighbors and
friends to go toshear DR.. Taylor,
who comes to Edgefeld through
the invitation of the resident
