IS SEARCHING
FOR Her son
Mrs. Golf Of Fresno Believes Her
Boy Has PeriShed on
the Desert

Mrs. Caroline Golf of Fresno, Cal,
arrived in Reno on the morning Of
Tuesday last looking for her son, ]. B.
Price, who has been away from home
for over a year and who has not writ
ten to her only a few times in all that
time. The Gazette says that the aged
mother is very much worried over the
absence Of her son and thinks that he
has died on the desert of southern
Nevada and that he was probably
buried with the word unknown or
the board at the head of his grave.
In speaking of the disappearance of
her son Mrs. Golf said:
II have nearly given up in despair
and | have very little hope of ever see
ing my boy again. He is rs years old
and is able to take care of himself, but
/ think that he has persisted on one of
those deserts in southern Nevada. He
left me a little owe a year ago to &c
into the mining country of Nevada to
seek a fortune. He wrote for a few
months and then his letters suddenly
stopped coming. His last letter statet
that he was going into Death Valley
and his body may at this time be lyinl
in the scorching sun on the sand in tina
waterless valley. He was always care
full about writing and l know tina
something must have happened to hin
or that he would have written to me.
II sent his younger brother into tn
southern country a few years ago t
look for him, but he could find no trac
of him. I have now come TO Reno t
look for him, and may even go into tn
mining country, although l am afrai
that my health viii not permit me t
make the trip"

The Nevada Fairview company has
been formed in Salt Lake City, Grant
and William F. Snyder figuring in the
personnel of the new company. The
property on which the new company will
operate is that recently sold by Ed.
McCarrick to the house of the Snyders.
Grant Snyder is expected in camp from
Yerington any day, and on his arrival
the plans for the development and ope-
ration of the property will be mapped
out. -Fairview Miner.

John Sullivan will probably lose the
index finger of his left hand as the re-
suit of an accident he met with at Col
coada Tuesday night. A bomb ex-
ploded in his hand and the finger was
so badly torn that a~mputation will
probably be necessary. Elk.

Had 5000 Stolen.

William Grow, better known as
"Tonopah Bill" who is in the saloon
business at Palisade, was robbed of
5000 by a woman named May Rice a
few days ago, says an exchange. He
used her trunk as a place of deposit for
his money and when the sum reached
$500 the woman skipped out. She was
caught at Wells and taken back to
Palisade.

PARKER'S FAITH
In TONOPAH

A. D. Parker, largely interested in
the Tonopah Extension mine at Tono-
pah and the Florence mine at Goldield,
New, spent Sunday in Salt Lake, says
the Telegram, en- route to Denver from
camps where he was said to have been
as the arbiter of trouble between
Charles M. Schwab and John Y. Nc
Kane, and on account of which Tono-
pah Extension stocks during the last
two weeks suffered a heavy decline in
price.
Nj. Parker said that, notwithstand-
ing the bear raid, Tonopah Extension
was just as good a gold mine as ever,
and he, personally, vas not worrying
over the decreased value which specu-
lators might place upon the securities.
Mr.. Parker did not say whether diff
ferences between Schwab and McKane
exist, but the latest phase of the situa-
ton appears to discount the original
story which caused Tonopah Extension
stock to drop. That rumor was to the
effect that McKane was dumping his
holdings on the market. According to
the latest information, McKane had no
Tonopah Extension stock to sell, he
having sold his entire allotment to
Charles M. Schwab at the time the
latter was taking over the Montgomery
Shoshone mine at Bullfrog, and which
deal McKane negotiated.

Rich Strangers.

H. G. Mcmahon states that the prop
erty of the Shoshone-Annex Mining
company, adjoining the Montgomery
Shoshone on the east, gives promise of
making a mine. Rich stringers have
been cut in development, which may
lead to a big ore body.

First white Girl on Comstock

Mrs. w. G. Lake, e Alexander,
who died recently in Reno, bore the
unique distinction of being the first
white girl on the Comstock. She crossed
the plains in 1850, when a small child,
and lived all through the great mining
boom on the Comstock.

has been successful and promising from
the start.
Superintendent A. H. Beahl reports
that work on the Joker claim has proved
the existence of remarkable high-grade
to a depth of more than so feet. There
is no reason to ~apprehend that it will
not go a great deal deeper. An
arastra has been ordered by the leasers
on the Joker. Enough high-grade is
now on the dump to pay for the outfit
which will soon arrive and which will
have a capacity of three tons a day.
The leasers have followed the high
grade in a drift at the 50-foot level and
will DON begin stopping.
Superintendent Robertson reports a
strike of rich ore at the surface on the
Buyo claim, which forms a part of the
holdings of the Mustang Mining COM
yany. The company will take immedi-
ate steps to develop at this new dis
covery. The main shaft on the Mus
tang is now down $50 feet and but little
further progress in sinking can be made
until a blower a be put in. Drifting
is now progressing both ways On'ths
second ledge, which contains frequent
ore shoots.
The development work on the Man
haitian Red Top during the past TIVE
weeks has been attended with ~fatterina
results. The tunnel which is beinl
driven on what is believed to be an ex
tension of the Consolidated vein, i
now in 100 feet and will be pushed S
feet further into the hill before cross
cuts will be run to determing the ger

Allotment of Lands

The allotment of lands on the Walker
Lake Reservation has been made ex-
cept a small portion of grazing land,
and this will soon be finished up. 1t
will probably be September before the
president will issue the proclamation
throwing open the mining land to the
nrosnector.

Standing on Union No. 9 the visitor
to Manhattan can hear at all hours of
day and night the wheeze of 10 h. p.
hoists. They belong to men who have
pulled Manhattan right along through
the slump caused by the earthquake.
The engines pay no attention to the
knocker or the pessimist. They are
paving the way to big dividends. These
power hoists are on the Little Gray,
Briggs & Sinclair lease, the Raycraft
lease on the Jumping Jack, Indian
Camp, Mustang. On the Wolftone
across the way, a power hoist will soon
relieve the within doing double shift
duty. There are other hoists
operating in all parts of the camp, but
in no one spot is there such a hive Of
them as on Golden Hill.
j. H. LIE Foe, superintendent of the
Manhattan Whale Mining company, has
a force of seven men at work. Two
shifts are working in the shaft in which
a ledge has been uncovered yielding
splendid values. The ore body is thret
feet wide and gives values from $28 t.

ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER NEVADA
A lid Man Declares the Ground
Has Only Just Been
Scratched 3.

w. Frank Byrne, of the Ida district,
about sixty miles south of Tonopah, is
enthusiastic over the whole Nevada
field, and in a recent interview with a
representative of the Salt Lake Trib-
une, said:
1.-The whole Nevada field has as yet
only been scratched over, and still the
finds are remarkably rich. In the
coming fall season thousands of men
will flock into that section. For some
time back people have been skeptical
concerning the country, but now every
sort of man knows it is a rich country,
and the rush there will be great. A
new road is soon to be built from Klon-
dixie Junction on the Tonopah and Cold
field road to the Silver Peak district,
some forty miles away, and this will
open up a great range of the very rich
est country in Nevada.
OF VOLCANIC ORIGIN
1.-THE whole country is of volcanic
origin, and all through it are evidences
of good ore bodies. One of the best
and most conservative descriptions of
the whole country south of Goldield is
in the official report of Mining and
Consulting Engineer w. A. Stanton,
formerly of Salt Lake, and he says:
MY experience in the whole Goldfield
mining district, the Bullfrog and all
the districts south of them, is that
where you find strong porphyry crop
pings forming the walls of veins that
carry good values, they have, in most
instances, developed into milling anc
shipping Ores The whole district is
thoroughly described in this paragraph.
""The Montezuma, Silver Peak anC
Ida countries are studded with just
such groupings, and great finds will yet
be made there. From the center of al
that country (which is Goldfeld)
radiating in all directions, the sam.
mountains and the same formations
obtain, especially at Ida and in thu
Palmetto district. Then, to the east
ward of Goldfield, some thirty miles
is Carter's Peak district, and the sam,
conditions are there.
Low-GRADE R CAMP.
1.-THE opinion of leading engineers i
that the Bullfrog district will be tn
leading low-grade ore camp in tn
world. Of course, proper transporta
ton facilities will make this possible

erty a mine. A hoist is being put in

rapidly. This week the crosscut at the

Eighteen inches of ore that will run
from $65 to $500 a ton, anda large body
that will average $40 has been exposed
in the cut.

In a special message to congress Presl-
dent Roosevelt keenly criticised Fede-
raj Judge Humphrey because of his
decision in the beef trust cases at Chica-
go. Several years ago we had a national
campaign in this country. 1t was along
about 1896. Then the democratic party
was arraigned by republican newspapers
because it had undertaken to criticlse
the courts. And now comes a president
elected as a republican, and in a specla
message to congress, commits the very
otfense which, a few year ago, drew upo1
the heads of faithful democrats the
most bitter condemnation by republican
editors and republican leaders! Little

SOME FEATURES OF THE PRIMARY LAW.

Under the primary election law no
one can dictate who shall and who shall
not be candidates. Each and every
American citizen has a constitutional
right to be a candidate for nomination
Just as before the primary law was
passed. All he has 10 do TO test his po-
pularity is get out a petition and run.
1t will then be readily seen whether he
is the candidate Of the masses of his
party. No one can say, "lou shall not
be a candidate. except the people at
large. 1t will not be the old way a con
ventional gathering OF the leading pre-
cinct men of respective parties to
discuss and place before the people
its party candidates. 1t makes it posi-
bic for almost anybody TO get his name
on the primary ballot. and if the people
have confidence in his ability and integ-
rity. he may be nominated al the prjma-
ry election.
This new form Of nomination makes
it necessary for all candidates 10 take an
oath that they belong TO the party on
whose primary ticket they desire 10 be
placed. One annot be on the demo
cratic primary ticket asking for votes OF
the republicans, nor upon the republi-
can primary ticket asking for the votes
of the democrats because he is a demo
crat. He must. before he can place his
name on either primary ballot. take his
oath and file his affidavit. that he be-
longs to the party on whose ticket he
desires to be placed and in addition to
this he must file a petition signed by a
certain per cent of the voters of that
party and any signing such a peti,
ton mustdeclare his faith in the party
of the candidate whose petition he signs
So a democrat must not sign a republl
cans petition and a republican must
not sign a democrats petition, as by Sc
doing they must declare their allegiance
to such a party. The effect of the pr
mary law will be watched by its friene
and foe with equal interest.
The primary law makes it easy for tn
republican to get in the democratic
ranks and easy for the democrat to &c
into the republican ranks. as 1t all de
pends on the candidates inclination
and he does not need to run the gaunt
let of the party organization as used t
be the case. No party organization ca
prevent the other candidates from CON
ing in its fold. The field is made fire
And ever if it could be prevented woul
one know where to begin after a can
paign like the one in this county of tw
years ago:
Hereafter. We as electors. will be n
sponoible for the party candidates.
is now up to Us to show whether tt
primary election ballot is a good or ba
thing. 1t is a free field for the can
paigner-with the people generally
make their choice. If the nomination
are bad it is the fault of the people ar
not of any party organization. And
the nominations are good the Poop
likewise get the credit.

The Chicago Record calls attention
to the interesting fact that on January
LIST 1906. the price OF beef cattle was the
lowest since the department of agricul-
ture began keeping a record. Then it
points out the companion fact that beef
prices were higher. This may prove a
puzzle to those who were informed by
the Garfield report that the packers
were not making exorbitant profits. but
perhaps a little study will reveal tho
secret Of the puzzle. The profits the
y,ackers used to make before the days o.
the by products may now he consumed
10y the expense Of taking care Of Tho
aforesaid by products. We do not offer
this rs a hard-and- fast solution of the
puzzle, but it may be worthy Of con.
sideration. At any rate it seems to bc
about the only explanation to offer, con
sidering the constantly increasing chaSn
between what the cattle raiser gets anc
the beef consumer has TO pay.

D. Mckechnie is not standing in this
campaign as acandidate for another term
as representative in the lower house
from the eighteenth district, nor is he
showing a great amount of inclination
to yield to the persuasion of his west
ern county admirers, who want him to
60 after the republican nomination for
clerk of court. This, with the present
incumbent, Halvor O. Storlie, out for re-
election would give that Office a double
header and make it interesting, though
we respectfully decline to hazard a
guess. Its none of our funeral as the
progress of the campaign this week
develops a democratic candidate for this
place on the ticket in Norman Mckech-
ney, the son of an old resident of the
eastern part of the county who goes
after the nomination with a creditable
record.
