SIayers Are In Los
Anoeles

Communication has been received
by the Los Angeles police department
from the chief of police at Cleveland,
Ohio, asking assistance in finding four
negro murderers who are believed to
have fled to this city. All but one of
the criminals are said to be walters.
The fugitives are described and
named as follows:
Samuel Smith, or Holmes, As years
old. very black, height feet 10 or IL
inches, weight ITO pounds. Killed his
wife, Inez Smith, in his room, Sep

near Tonopah, and the Greenwater,
Furnace creek and Gina district on the
south near Searchlight.
In the latter camp 1T was long ago
demonstrated that Searchlight would
eventually become great producer of
the red metal, for not only are the
lower levels of the Quartette mine now
producing high grade copper ore, but
1t Is a fact that 80 per cent of the
veins that crop in this district are
heavily stained with the same metal.
These indications ON the surface were
evidently placed there through the
squeezing of the deposits at great
depth during the time of prehistoric vol
canic action. In other words these
stains were deposited by gases that es-
capped from the ore bearing assures
during periods of displacements.
Sensational Gold Strike
Information of one of the richest
strikes ever scored in America comes
from Reno, the discovery having been
made at Duluth, Nevada, ore saying
$7S62 to the ton being shown.
Duluth is situated about twelve
miles north of Lodi, and twenty five
miles northwest of Goldyke In the
Paradise mountains, and the original
discovery of the fabulously rich rock

II. Bills and Dave Fife, prospectors
from Bisbee A. +. The matter was
kept as quiet as possible by those in
terested. but the facts leaked out and
swarms of miners rushed In from
Goldheld, Tonopah and other camps
and located numerous claims In the
ric,l belt.
The pay streak ON the original dis
covery from which the phenomenal
assay was made Is about three inches
wide and is opened for a distance of
ITS feet. A body of free milling ore
four feet wide and averaging S4S5 has
also been opened up on another claim
owned by the Arizona men.
Fifty tons of ore have been sacked
and are now waiting to be shipped
to the railroad, and will average more
than $4OO to the ton. Free gold Is
found In the float which covers sew

Nuggets of News From the Mines

Scientific Investigators who are
watching the present vast operations
in the mining camps of Nevada claim
to have convincing evidence that the
mineral deposits extending from Vir-
ginia City on the north to Searchlight
on the south are part of a single
great mineraliZed zone. They compare
the formation to river with its tribu-
taries or the arterial system of the body
with its offshoots forming somewhat
into the shape of the backbone of a
fish. The center or spinal column of
the mineral structure of Nevada seems
to be tremendous fissure, the course
of which has been determined by the
lines of least resistance in the crust of
the earth. At some time, aeons ago,
these scientists say. there were thrust
up from the interior of the earth by
volcanic action and pressure certain
mineralized formations which have
since formed into one enormous lode
with many arms or branches.
Trend Of Mother Lode
Commencing at the Comstock lode on
the north, and extending to Search
light the veins have the same general
direction and dip, and the difference in
the character of the ore is as easily ac-
counted for by the varying conditions
which surrounded its deposit, as 1t is
safe TO attribute the zig-zag trend of
the mother lode to the displacements
that have occurred I'm the past through
earthquakes and volcanic action. A
map Of the mother lode Of Nevade
shows that 1t is richest at its extremi-
ties, the Copstock forming the north
end, with Goldfeld and Tonopah as
close neighbors, and Searchlight with
the nearby copper mines of Gina, Cal
ifornia, at the southern end.
So definitely can this main fissure
be traced through Nevada that birds
eye view taken from a balloon would
reveal a series Of mining camps, ex-
tending for a distance of nearly 400
miles which include every great pro-
ducing district In the state. This chain
OF producers has UP TO date given the
world over $25O, 900 in gold and sill
Yer principally. and 10 this may be
added $5O. 100000 produced by the cop
per camps within the past few years.
Strange but true Is the fact that IN
the vicinity of great gold bearing re-
gions In Nevada there are alwaysfound
Immense copper deposits, and this pre-
cedent ha5 been established by the ex-
istence OF the Ely district on the north

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA complaint
has been made to the interstate COM
merce commission by the North Caro-
lima Case Workers associa tion, whose
membership consists of firms engaged
in the manufacture and sale of furni-
ture, against many lines of railroads
in the west and northwest because of
alleged unjust and discriminatory
charges for the transportation of furni-
ture, especially from High Point, N c.,
and Danville, Va, to Pacific coast
points
The complainants declare that the
railroads charge them $1.70 per 100
pounds to carry furniture from the
North Carolina territory to Pacific
coast points, and insist upon a mini
mum carload weight of 10000 pounds,
whereas they claim to be able to put
into a car only 1900 pounds of furni-
ture.
They insist, therefore, that the rates
are unreasona BILE and ask the commits
sion to issue an order requiring the rail-
roads to limit 36-foot carload lots of
furniture to 10000 pounds.

PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and

A Mass. physician has found a cure

Nuts.
Some time ago." he writes, Il be-

Nuts, as a cure for constipation in

cases in which all suffered with con-
stipation more or less severe. The re-
suit has been absolute relief in all.
Il write this that other children
may be benefited"
How much better 1t is thus to bring
about healthy action in the bowels

than to feed them with improper food,
requiring some kind OF cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
