heard the mayors statement last
night relative to the pipe dream of
some company that proposed to sub
stltute gas for power to run the light
machinery and enable the city to
make lights for $3.50 each. were
obviously astonished. The mayor
made his announcement with due
solemnity, just as If he did not know
how ridiculous it was. II the city
of Paducah or any other city, saved
every dollar paid for its power to run
it's light plant, it still would not cut
down the cost of lights over $40 or

be furnished at this price, If the
city owned an automatic plant that
didn't cost a dollar for power to run

Never Loved Him, She Says.

The complaint recites that Mr. and Mrs.
Heyl We're married in Milwaukee May p,
1889, soon after the death of Heyrs first
wife, Louise Schandein. Mrs. Heyl admits
that she had no love for her brother-in-
law, but she was devotedly attached to
Erik, Mr.. Heyl's son by Louise, and feared
that Heyl would take the lad away unless
she married him. She told Heyl she did
not love him, but he was SO persistent in
his proposals that she finally consented and
did marry him, solely from a sense of duty,
believing by so doing she could prevent the
removal of her dead sisters son, Erik from
her mother, Mrs. Schanden. Mrs Heyl
says in her petition that Heyl knew all this
because she told him.
The complaint further alleges that Heyl
Is man of gross and brutal appetites and
passions. The complaint recites at length
much of the testimony in the contest of
the Schandein will, particularly that re-
lating to Heyrs visit to the bed room of
his unmarried sister-in-law.
Mrs. Heyl alleges that her husband al
ways has been Indifferent to the welfare
and happiness of their two children.

Fred Z. Browne, manager of the

turned to camp Saturday night from a
visit to the Silver Peak country where
he inspected a number of claims in the
interest of Colorado men. He states
that considerable prospecting is being

properties there is a fair average show
ing for the depth attained. He con
firms the report of the sale of the
Drinkwater mine to a party of eastern
capitalists and states that the new
owners are already practically in pos
session.
He also states that the new 5-stampl
mill at the Mohawk-Alpine mine is in
operation and that the machinery is
working smoothly. The general condi-
tion of the property is good and with
the assistance of the mill a lower grade
tonnage can be mined successfully.
Operations have been resumed on the
Yalcalde mine which was purchased
about a month ago by Thomas ]. Lynch

of exploration is being carried out and

One Of the old mining landmarks of
the desert, the Drinkwater mine At
Silver Peak, has been purchased for .
party OF eastern capitalists by M. L.
Effnger, a well known mining man and
promoter of Salt Lake City. The deal
was closed this week the purchase price
being $4,000, $%15O,oOO down with the
balance divided into six yearly pay
ments of 100000 each. Just who the
new wners are has not as yet been
nounced but it is generally believed
that the Schwab-McKane crowd is be-
hind the deal.o 1917
The Drinkwater is one of the famous
mines OF Nevada and during it's lays of
I opulence yielded its former owners,
Blair & Co., the New York bankers, a
handsome fortune, beside which it has

a single pocket in the ore shoot and

LIME POINT DISTRICT

Ore which returns average assays OF
800 70 tie ton is reported to have
been opened in the property of Russell
and Cavanaugh at Lime Point by
miners who returned from that section
a few days ago. The find is said to
have been made in the north crosscut
run out from the bottom of the 100
foot shaft and the ledge is reported to
be showing about 7 feet in width,
values in the amount stated being
prevalent across its full width. The
vein matter is composed of chlorides
and sulphides and is said to resemble
in appearance the ores mined at Tono-
pah.
The holdings are believed to be on
the same mineral belt as the Bonnie
Glare and other properties of distinc-
ton and if the values hold under the
test of further development pay ore in
shipping quantities win follow.
Lime Point is the scene of a consid-
cradle amount of prospecting and de-
velopment at this time, operations be-
ing general in all portions of the dis
trict. Within the past few weeks a
number of encouraging finds have been
made and it seems as though the prob
abilities of a camp being established
there were better than average.

GOLDEN scEPTRE

Reports were received a few days
ago by j. G.. Mccormack, who is a
prominent shareholder, in the Golden
Sceptre Mining company whose hold
ings are located on Bonanza mountain
in the Bullfrog district, to the effect
that 20 inches of ore having an aver
Q grade of $197.17 to the ton had
been opened up on that company S
acreage. The values were sound In the
tunnel about 300 FEET from its
entrance aid the ledge rs showing the
full width of its breast, the ore asi'ie
from the streak before mentioned, hy-
ing an average mill grade of about $24
per ton. The entire holding comprises
about goo arros and bile fair to nuke
a showinq u IRE which will con.'
favorably with airy in that section.
The company is working the ground
at three points and at this time more
than 1000 feet of development work
has been done. In the lower or main
tunnel, FIVE veins will be intersected,
which assays taken at surface and at
nominal depth indicate will carry high
values. Work is being pushed rapidly
and from the appearance of the rock in
it's breast the first of the series of
leads is not far ahead.
On the north end OF the estate, Muir
ply and Voorhees,, ~lessees, have opened
up 2 feet of pay ore in a Wine sunk
from the tunnel level. AS development
proceeds the vein is widening and
values are increasing somewhat. 1t Is
the purpose to drift along its strike
for an ore shoot when a few feet more
of depth has been gained.
E. E. Stuart, a well know mining
engineer of Ri, ulite, who passed
through Goldfeld i few days ago en-
route to Manhattan, states that he con
siders the Golden .Sceptre the equal of
any property on Bonanza mountain
and that the method in which it is be-
ing operated is such as to insure the
best results.

for a paid up capital of 100000, divid-
ed into 5000 shares with the principal
place of business and the general Of

The purpose of the company is to
afford opportunity for the smelling of
ores at Ogden thereby saving the X
pense to shippers in Idaho, Montana
and Nevada entailed by the longer
haul to Salt Lake, Denver and Pueblo,
and to afford impetus to the develop
ment of the mineral fields adjacent to
Ogden. The plant is to be erected at
Hot Springs, a point about a mile west
of the Southern Pacific tracks, and the
Hartman lines will build spurs to the
site. The smelter will have a capacity
of 400 tons per day and construction
work will be started within two weeks.

EAST KLONDYKE ORE
Marinette, Nevada. Sends in Shipment
to Columbia Sampler

High grade silver values are being
secured in the East Klondyke district
located about Is miles north of uold-
field and 4 miles east Of Ramsey's well,
and as ore of that character has been
opened up in a number of properties
it appears probable that the camp will
be a prolific producer of the white
metal. Last week a small shipment
was made to the Columbia sampler
from the Marinette Nevada property
which assay returns indicate has a sill
yer value of about $500 per ton. If
the sampler sheet reads equally salts
factory other consignments are to be
made at regular intervals.
The ore is being mined in a winze
which is being sunk on a 6-foot ledge
encountered 20 feet in from its en-
trance. The lead carries good average
values it's entire breadth and a 6-inch
streak on the hanging wall contains an
average silver grade of 1000 unc
TO the ton. The Marlnette Nevada con-
sists of four claims and is being worked
by a party of Marinette, Wisconsin,
capitalists. An extensive plan of de-
velopment is beirg carried out and
more than $50 feet of sinking, drifting
and tunneling have already been ac-
complished.
On the Bell and Courts property IL
sets of ~lessees are working and a mum
Der of very promising lodges have been
opened up. On n of the blocks a
strong lead was cut recently from
which assays as high as 10000 ounces
in silver are obtained. The ore is be-
ing sacked as fast as mined and is TO
be shipped to Goldfeld as soon as suf-
%icient tonnage has accumulated.
