FIRE
AT GOLDFIELD

Wednesday during the noon hour
word was received from Goldfeld that
their city was tasty burning down.
The fire department had asked for help
and the Tonopah volunteers stood ready
to go at a moments notice. About the
time they were ready to leave by special
train for Goldfeld word was flashed
from there that a building had been
dynamited and the course of the flames
checked.
The origin of the fire was caused by
some careless person throwing a ciga-
rette stump into a bale of hay in the
real of the st. Francis hotel. 1t took
but few seconds before the entire hotel
was a roaring mass of flames. Banks
at once removed the money out of
their vaults to a place of safety outside
of town. About this time an immense
load of dynamite was placed under the
galvanized tin shop and set off, this
was all that saved the town Of Gold
field as a high wind was blowing at the
time.
The following buildings were COM
pletely burned to the ground: St.
Francis hotel, Bowery Saloon, Cash
grocery store, and the tin shop adjoin-
ing that was blown up. The loss is
estimated at $45, 900.
To much praise cannot be given the
Goldfeld Fire Department as from
good authority we learn they KEEP
fighting the flames even while the
clothes they wore were on fire.

A Model Town.

Silver Peak is on the boom and one
of these days the camp will have a rail-
way day celebration. The track has
been laid to the new town of Blair.
Silver Peak has been a mining camp
for over 40 years and many of the old
timers of the early days are still resi-
dents of the camp. The principal own
ers of the Blair mine are members of
the town company and they have
started out to make it a model mining
town. That it will be a good one there
is no question. The old producers OF
the district have immense Gre bodies
blocked out and in the past year or tive
scores of new discoveries have beer
made. With the advent of the railway
hundreds of men will be put to work il
! the mines. j. 6. Crumley & Company
has purchased 60 lots in the new town
site and the work of building a moderr
hotel by Mr.. Crumley will be under wa!
next week. The furniture has already
been purchased. The hotel when read,
for business will represent an invest
ment of $40, 90. -Goldfeld News.

Production OF Silver.

The proposition of silver in the United
States has not varied radically since
1890, and we arrive at our judgment of
a radical variation by comparison with
the change in the output of gold which
has indeed been radical, says the Black
Hills Minining Review. There was a
difference of a. 900, 900 ounces, or APP
proximately % per cent, between the
low production of 1894 and the high of
1892, while there has been no new ex-
IRENE within twelve years. The annual
output of gold has considerably more
than doubled within that time. The
variation of the worlds silver produc-
ton during the fifteen year period has
been less than that in the United States,
the high extreme in 1898 exceeding the
lowin 1891 by about 26 per cent. The
worlds annual production of gold has,
on the other hand, been going steadily
forward, except for the interruption by
the Boer war, practically trebling since
1891. The United States has bought
no silver in thirteen years. The last
purchases were under the act 1890, by
which the excess of l68, 000, 900 ounces
were acquired. During the twenty
years following 1873 the government
purchased almost 500, 600, 600 ounces, OF
at the average rate of about 25, 600, 0O(
ounces per year.

Knng solomon Mining Claims.

KING Solomon Mining Claims.
At the King Solomon mine, 35 miles
northeast of Tonopah, all is activity
and two shifts of men are being worked.
The shaft has already reached a depth
of 100 feet and sinking, drifting and
prosecuting are going on. The COM
pany owns nine claims upon all of
which more or less work has been
done with good results. Drifting is
being prosecuted on two lodges while
they are prosecuting for a third. No.
5 shaft is down 20 feet and the ledge is
widening with depth, as it was only
two feet wide on the surface while
now it covers the entire bottom of the
shaft. 1t has numerous streaks of
high grade which carries 20 per cent
copper, over 200 ounces of silver and
some gold. A contract has been let to
sink 300 feet, and on the first of the
present month, 100 feet of the contract
had been finished. The adjoining prop
critics are giving much promise. In the
Brandon claim-a copper proposition
they have a - foot ledge that will &c
from 25 to 40 per cent in copper with
some values in gold and silver. They
have a shaft 60 feet deep while on five
or six other claims they have shafts Of
lesser depth. An additional force Of
men was put on last Saturday and The
company proposes to push development
work as rapidly as possible.

An Estimate Of 12,15O,0O0 Bales.

4AA AS3t~S)SSS
Under date of Nov. 10 Messrs.
Latham, Alexander & Co., of New
York, put forth an estimate of 12,-
100000 bales as the cotton crop Of
19O6-'07. "This result" they say,
"is the average Of more than 5000
estimates addressed to us by reliable
Bankers, merchants, planters and cot
ton buyers-residents Of the different
eotton-growing countries in the South
and We regard it as correst as it is
possible to obtain at this date" The
crop Of l905-'06 is given as 1885,
600 bales. The government. report Of
acreage this year is stated as 1885,
AS acres larger than last year. This
paragraph is quoted from the circu-
lar referred to: ""The receipts to date
have been. 4,622,S62 bales against A.
:464,376 bales last year-an increase
of 15S,4S6 bales, and with a proper
Tomato increase until the end. Of the
season the total yield of. the crop
would be 11,747,7 49 bales" This is
confusing to us. The total of ll,747,-
$40 bales just quoted does not square
with the estimate. of .112,150,O0o There
s of course an explanation Of the
discrepancy but we do not understand
1t, unless, indeed, Messrs. Latham
Alexander & Co., expect the proper.
Tomato increase in receipts from this
date to the end Of the season to BIZ
greater than during the correspond
ing periods last year

the fact that the old custom of New

features. J. G. Rawlings and w. L.
Carter were neighbors IL miles from
here. Both were Baptist ministers.
Several years ago a dispute arose as
to the line between their respective
farms. Litigation and bad blood re-
suited. Carter was wounded by q
shot from ambush, and had Rawlings
arrested on the charge Of attempted
murder. A few days later, on June
Ii, 1905, a night attack was made
on the Carter home. Two Of the chill
dren, Willie and Carrie Carter, were
shot just outside the house and shot
were fred without effect at Carter
and his wife and another daughter
The wounded boy managed to drag
himself to the house and inform hi
parents that Milton and Jesse Raw.
lings had shot him. He died the next
day. After shooting the children
the attacking party attempted to Sci
fire to the house, but we're fred upon
