Both Plead Guilty

Two business men of Goldyke were
brought to Tonopah Thursday by Dep
uty Sheriff Walter Bell to answer to the
charge of fighting and disturbing the
peace. One was the postmaster at
that place, whose name we did not
learn and the others name is TAFT. 1t
was a kind Of follower fight that lasted
several days despite the officers efforts
to have peace declared. They would
fight, then withdraw forces until the
next day, when they would go at it
again. Finally the officer brought
them to town. Strange to say, they both
plead guilty and Judge Brissel fined
each of them $1.0O aud the costs OF
court, which amounted to $40. so for
each individual. They paid the fine
and went home, poorer, but wiser men.

MINING NOTES
OF THE WEEK

The board of directors of the Tonopah-
California Mining company have APP
pointed J. w. Chandler of Tonopah
consulting engineer for the company
and all exploitation will in the future
be under his immediate direction. At
the time of his appointmentMr Mr.. Chand-
Ter was with the Mcnamara company.
He succeeds Clyde Jackson, whose i'll
health has compelled him to take an
indefinite vacation, so his resignation
was accepted.
The Tonopah-C California is a very in
teresting property. 1t adjoins the jim
Butler on the south, and the prospect.
ing which will be carried on under the
efficient supervision of Mr.. Chandler.
after he has made a careful examina'
ton of the property, will, we believe,
be productive of results that it will bt

of Claims

W. H. Routledge, the well known
mining engineer, will leave tomorrow
for California to meet a syndicate of
capitalists, for whom he recently pur-
chased some valuable claims in the
Manhattan district. Mr.. Routledge is
one of the earliest to recognize the i'm
pertance of the Manhattan district and
has successfully negotiated the sale of
nine groups of claims, all Of which are
developing most satisfactorily. The
property recently purchased was ex-
amined by w. ]. Stoneham, of the firm
of Kirby, Lamb & Stoneham, and from
all indications will develop into one of
great value. Mr.. Routledge expects
to return in a few days and will at once
commence active development of the
claims. The property is well located
in the East Manhattan district, close to
and on the same belt as the rich dis
~coveries which have been recently
made there.

SEVEN TONS
WORTH $4,000

Seven tons of ore running over $4,000
to the ton is the size and value of the
first shipment made from Round Noun
tain, the bonanza camp, fifty-five miles
north of Tonopah. A dispatch of the
18th says that this wonderfully rich
rock came from the Round Mountain
Antelope group and represents the
product of but a few weeks develop
ment work. Other shipments are to
follow, all of which will go to Tonopah,
where they will be sampled and sold.
careful assays, made before the ship
ment left the camp showed that it
would be one of unusual richness and
when the sampler returns of $22, 600
for the lot were received they created
no surprise. The wne of the Ante
lope say the next shipment of picked
rock will sven exceed the first one to
be sent out.
The story of how the Antelope was
discovered is interesting:
The owners OF the property, several
weeks ago, were looking over the coun-
try and one of them who was returning
to camp, noticed a badger darting for
his home, a hole in the ground. Upon
trying to hit the animal with a stone he
was attracted by a piece Of rock that
lay near the entrance of the badgers
domicile, and upon close examination it
proved to be a lump of gold. The pros
pector called his companions and show
ed them what he had found. 1t was
a piece of rock on which lay a slab of
solid gold 12xl4 inches and wei two
inches thick.
From the time that this discovery
was made in the latter part of May,
until the present time, work has been
progressing rapidly on the property and
upon the uncovering of the ledge even
the most optimistic of the company
were astonished at the wonderful rich
ness of the ore.

The YELLOW
HORSE PROPERTY

Plans for the development of Yellow
Horse acreage at depth are being
furthered by the sinking of two shafts,
the intention being to test the vein sys-
tenn simultaneously at different points.
A depth of 100 feet is the objective in
each, and when it is gained crosscuts
and laterals will be run and the ore
bodies thoroughly explored. A dispatch
says that with each foot of depth gold
values are improving, and they are now
of exceptional mill grade. Ore of that
character is being saved as develop
ment proceeds and is to form the
nucleus of the regular shipments the
company will make as soon as its stamp
mill is in operation. Plans for the
erection of the plant are being formed
and an order for the machinery will
soon 90 out.

MORE ~BURGLARIES
IN TONOPAH
Burglars are Becoming Numerous
Here---TwO Houses Were
Entered Wednesday.

On Wednesday last the cabin of Dan
Ross, near the Midway mine, was en-
tered by some one, the place ransacked
and So. so taken from the clothes which
hung in the cabin. Entrance was eff
fected by forcing open a rear window.
The deed was committed at some time
during the day as Mr.. Ross was on the
night shift, working in the Midway
mine. The burglar, in getting in and
out of the window, dropped a lot of
carpenters finishing nails, from which
we would infer that he was a carpen-
ter. A receipt issued to w. R. Buck
for $149.30 by ths Nye and Ormsby
County bank, dated July 4, 1906, was
found on the ground outside below the
window, but that might have been car
ried there by the wind, as an eddy for
stray papers is formed by that passage
way between the buildings. The burg
lar had evidently been frightened away
before he could finish his job, for on
Thursday he returned, Ientered by break
ing a pane of glass, removing the fas-
tening and opening the window, and
ransacked the place more thoroughly,
opening grips and valises and turning
the bed topsy turvy. He secured moth
ing for his pains this time save an Ole
rim-fire pistol.
On Wednesday the cabin of Roger C.
Kanters, heal the New York onopat
mine, was broken into and a gold watct
taken. The marauder had evidently
taken alarm before he had time to gel
away with all his plumber, for he put
all of Kanters' best clothes in a sack
ready to carry away, but the bundle
was left on the floor. A sack full o.
cooks aprons which the burglar haC
probably stolen in some other place
was also left on the floor of the cabin
Burglaries are becoming very numer
Gus in this town of late and it would
seem that there is a gang of them a
work, judging from these and the oper
ations of a week or two ago.

new STONE
McKIM BUILDING
Corner Stone Of the New Struc'
ture Laid and Local Papers
Placed in Cache.

H. A. McKim, who has for some
time had a force of men e~xcavating
and laying the foundation of his new
building to be erected on the corner of
Main street and Oddie avenue, laid the
cornerstone to his building last Thurs
day. While no ceremony, in accordance
with time-honored custom, accom-
panied the placing of the stone, the
material part was duly fulfilled. In
the cache were placed copies of the
Tonopah papers of July 7-BoNANzA,
Miner and Sun-Mr. Kim's business
card and a copy of the Fourth of July
program. AS the building is a firmly
built one and as Nevada is not liable to
seismic disturbances it is more than
probable that those relics will remain
undisturbed until the second coming of
Joshua's host to demolish the walls by
a mighty blast from it's ram horn
trumpets. The building when complied
will have two stories and a basement
with dimensions 30x66 feet. The front
and one side will be of cut stone while
the rest will be of quarry stone. The
first floor will have a modern glass
front and in this Mr.. McKim will open
a dry goods store while the upper
floors will be for Office rental. When
the building proper is completed, which
will be in about 60 days, a 1OO-foot
extension will be added to it. The
entire cost is estimated at about
$22, 900. E. E. Burdick has the con.
tract for the stone work and j. j,
Finley for the carpenter work.

$4,000 FOR
DEVELOPMENT

The Tonopah Eureka Mining and De-
velopment company has announced its
intention to resume work on its group
of claims situated in the western end
of the Tonopah district, about n mile
due west of the West Tonopah and
directly across the large porphyry dyke
which IA be plainly traced on the
surface almost as far as Lone Noun
tain. The claims of this company
were located in 1908 by Colby and Shea,
two experienced Cripple Creek miners,
who claimed that the ground was the
best to be had in that vicinity, as the
Gaping is lighter and development
work less expensive than on the ground
lying are to Tonopah. The Tonopah
Eureka Mining and Development COM
pany was Incorporated the same year,
under the laws of Arizona, with 1,00O,-
900 shares, of which 500, 900 shares
were placed in the treasury for devel-
opment purposes, but very little stock
was sold. The assessment work has
been done with funds provided by B. J.
Reilly, the famous lessee, and Post
master Mushett of Tonopah, who have
purchased most of the promotion stock
and now own control.

Music for One Day Costs $1,000

1t cost the good people of Goldfeld
just 81, 088 to take the Reno band of
fifteen pieces to Goldfeld, where it
played one day, the Fourth of July,
says the Reno Gazette. This is but
one of the many items of expense that
was incurred in giving the old fashioned
celebration at the great mining camp,
but it shows the difference in the cost
of the good things of the world in diff
ferent localities and also proves that
when Goldfeld wants anything she puts
up the money necessary to get it.
Each member of the band received $50,
making a total of $3.50 for wages. The
rest of the expense was for travelling
expenses and entertainment. The camp
paid $500 to get two ball teams to play
a match game and 5000 was paid for
the balloon ascension. In all the cele-
bration cost 81, $50. 1t was given
along old-fashioned lines, but was one
of the best ever given in the state.

PRISONERS PARDONED

Among the petitions for pardon and
parole presented to the state board
this week and favorably considered
were:
The application of Charles Angal,
who was about a year ago convicted OF
embezzlement and sentenced to three
yea confinement in the penitentiary.
Angal, it will be remembered, was
manager of the Columbia branch of the
Central market of Tonopah, owned by
Harry Mcnamara, and it was while
acting in that capacity that he en-
bezzled several hundred dollars from
his employer. He was tried by a jury
at Hawthorne, found guilty and SEN
fenced to three years penal servitudt
at Carson. The day before he was Il
be taken to the penitentiary he broke
Jail and made his escape, but was re
captured and given an additional yea
for that offense, making four years il
all. Angal proved himself an exem
plary prisoner and the parole wa
granted with the consent of Mr.. Nc
Namara, who, through his goodness o.
heart, deeply sy%mpathized with thu
stricken family of the prisoner.
Smith Jackson, who was sentenced
in 1903 to five years in the penitentiar!
for horse stealing, was granted a par
don.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF NYE COUNTY.
NOW, WOULDN'T THAT JAR your

A ''guy wild a crouch" is quoted in
the Denver News as saying that Tono-
pah is about on her last legs and that
people are starving in that city.
Tonopah has risen Oh those same last
legs and let forth a snort of fury that
has echoed around the News Office ever
since the interview was printed in that
sheet. 1t seems that a News man got
into difficulty in Tonopah once and the
News has never attempted to be fair
since that time, either to Nevada or to
its mining camps.
Here is what the man said, only con-
ditions are not Gust as the man said:''
Conditions at Tonopah, Nevada, are
not so rosy as they have been painted,
according to II. H. Stoned Of Chicago,
who went over the Burlington last
night. Although wages r high, food
is scarce, he says, owing to the recent
rains, which have made it practically
impossible to get anything into this
section over the only railroad running
into the camp.
Men are actually hungry there,
said Mr.. Stoned in the city ticket of
fee of the Burlington yesterday. The
wages are at the top notch, but it will
cost you all the way from rs cents up
for a meal. Wages for ordinary labor
averages 81 a day, but it takes nearly
that amount to live, and then you don't
get anything to eat.
$50 far as ore is concerned, they
have plenty of it. but it is all Of low
grade quality. | have see $18 and 500
ore thrown over the dump because they
have no facilities, either for handling it
or getting it out to a mill where it can
be treated to advantage. The rains
have washed out the railroads, and
when / left they were trying to stage
enough foodstuffs into the camp to
keep them going until the railroad gets
in operation again.
but even when the railroad is run
ming the freight rates are so high that
it does not pay to ship the low grade
ore there. What they need is some
milling facilities in the camp. Tono.
pah is going to make a good camp il
they get the facilities for handling the
ore"
The above garbled statement is sim
ply ridiculous. In the first place fooC
is not scarce, unless one goes up agains'
a game, makes a losing, and tries t,
run his face" for the necessaries
At no time has the railroad cars faile'
to make connection, and at no tim,
have we been obliged to haul in sup
plies in stage coaches because of tn
failure of the railroad. Ores are beinl
shipped out of this place regularly TO
treatment and we have heard no com
plants from mine owners. In a word
the News man is talking through hi
chapeau and for cheerful lying he i
deserving of a leather medal.
