THE BOOTH
WILL SINK
Promising Property at Goldfield
Will be Developed on Ex-
tenSive Scale.

The Booth Gold Mining and Milling
company, whose property end lines the
famous Red Top, the richest of all the
Goldfield mines, will commence the
sinking of a shaft on the south end of
their claim and close to the north end of
the Red Top claim, at once. The shaft
will be sent down 200 feet and it is ex-
pected that the rich Red Top ore bodies
will be encountered. To facilitate sink
ing an electric hoist has been ordered
and will be installed within the next
sixty days. Mining men agree that the
Booth claim is one of the best in the
Goldfield district and it is sure to get
the Red Top lodges. Price & Co., who
are leasing blocks 8, and 5, have sunk
five shafts with an aggregate depth of
more than 300 feet. They have done
more than TOO feet of development work
altogether. The company recently or
dered the sale of 100000 shares and
nearly all of this has been taken. Those
who wish the remaining few shares had
better hurry or they will have to pay a
decided advance. The stock is in big
demand at Is cents and even II is be-
ing offered.

In Clarence E. Eddy's "Seven Sin

description Of the gambler:
"Heis a human hyena who prawls by

lost to all that is elevating in the path

intellectual suicide who has destroyed
all the talents a merciful Providence be-

izing disciple of corruption on earth ex.

Ed Brown of Douglass came in Thurs

miles from Sodaville is looking better
than in the good old days of the battle
born state.
They are now working twelve men on

The Hardscrabble just west of the

lay close by. The robber noticed his
move and fired without saying a word.

Mr.. Sandlin between the thumb and
forefnger Of the left hand. The other
shots followed in quick succession, one
of them striking the front bar, three
going through the partition NJ the back

edly an amateur. Four suspects were
arrested today by Sheriff Logan and

at the end of hemp rope. Messrs.
Griffin and Holland, the proprietors,
will send Mr.. Sandlin, who is faithful
employe of theirs, to San Francisco to-
morrow to have his wound dressed.
