ANOTHER OLD CAMP
Marietta the Latest to Attract Eastern
Capital

Marietta, a prosperous mining calCp
in Esmeralda county a quarter century
ago but abandoned since 1880, is likely
to come into prominence again.
Boston syndicate having secured all
option on a majority of locations in
the district The late DR.. Webhe'
owned a mine and mill in Marietta in
the seventies and sunk fortune there
on account of failure to recover the
ore values by the free milling proce $
The ore is hard as aomant and 8
streaked with sulphurets and bears
a strong resemblance to Italian marble
The camp is said to have bullion
production record of $4,000, 90 in silver
The mill and buildings are now a
mass Of ruins and the only inhabitant
is a former assayer for the Endow-
ment company, who receives $25 per
month from Borax Smith, the owner
of the mine in the district. The camp
is 25 miles southeast of Sodaville.

ScHWABS VISIT
His Aggressive Methods Of Operating
Will Be a Great Factor

The visit of Chas M. Schwab ADD
a large party of capitalistic friends
this week is fraught with intense in
terest to the whole mining industry.
Mr.. Schwab is now the heaviest
we'll as one of the most fortunate, in.
vestors in Southern Nevada, and has
made for himself warm place in the
estimation of the mining public. He
controls two of the largest mines
the Tonopah Extension and the
Montgomery Shoshone The first is at
Tonopah and the second is at Bull
frog. The stock Of the first CON-
pany has advanced from par to Sill
per share, and Montgomery Shoshone
can hardly Dc bought at any price.
But while these are his most I'M
portant interests he has many othe-s
and some of these others are slowly
coming into prominence. Some men
say that Schwab is 'lucky," an
others that he has acquired the crest
of the business because he is able to
buy it. The fact seems to be that he
has rightly earned all he has &C.
! quired in Nevada He hired accom-.
| plished and wise engineers and has
acted on their advice He bought
some properties which, in the eyes
of mining men, were little better thar
wildcats and invested large sums OF
money in developing them and he
has made mines Of them
His enterprise and activity has bee
an inspiration to others who have
followed and are following his ok
| ample. Schwab is now to Nevad:
what the Fairs. Floods and Mackays
were in former days, but he is des
tined to far surpass their records
The Comstock with its record Of pro
duction of $500, 900 900. is to be for

Nervous Prostitution the Cause Of Jack
Walls Death

Walls Death
Capt. Schatzline arrived from Tono-
pah last evening with the body Of
the late Jack Wall. From him it was
learned that Jack was q physical
wreck at the time of his death, and
that this Is the only cause that he
can give for the rash deed.
Jack went to Tonopah with Frank
Helm and from there to Goldield.
At the latter place a bed was Sc
cured and an attempt to rest. MI
Wall was so nervous and excited thar
he did not sleep during the night and
was up and down a score Of times
The next morning he was in the same
nervous condition.
/, From Goldfeld the party went to
Tonopah, arriving on the early morn
fng train. Jack met number of
friends, but in spite of his endeavcr
to bear up it was evident that he was
not himself and that he was conf
pletely wrecked by loss Of sleep AMI
nervous troubles. About noon he an,
Frank Helm started for Manhattan,
taking the Rye Patch route. which is
shorter and they expected to drive to
Baxter Springs that day. About
o'clock they came to the change
station several miles below Rye Pat i
and stopped for dinner Jack wet
into the place and partook of a par
of his meal when he excused hims If
and went to the rig. In Mr. Helms
valise there was a revolver viii \
hill fired the fatal shot which kill I'll
him almost instantly. He knew lha-
the revolver was in the grip, as M.
Helm had taken it from under the
seat and placed it in the valise as il
was in the way. Nothing was sa
that indicated the contemplated su
eide and Frank Helm was PROSTATE
by the sudden ending of his conf
paniOns life.
In Tonopah among his friends Jack
gave expression to his great pleasure
of going to the new camp and whit
he showed his nervous condition ".
none of the many companions eo
pected anything such as occurred.

GROUND BROKEN.
Work on the New State Library Com
menced Yesterday

Yesterday the work of breaking
ground for the foundation for the new
State Library began yesterday, in the
rear of the Capitol building.
Burk Bros. and Shaft are the con-
tractors. Hearing that a formidable
petition against the site was about to
be filed Mr.. Shaft called on the Gov
ernor and asked if it were possible
to have the building placed on the
Main street. The Governor said that
Le had always favor ed the Main street
as a site and still favored it. Col
troller Davis was called on and re-
piled in the same having always voted
to haze the site on the Main Stree.
The hour being late the other men,
bers of the Board were not in th,ir
Offices. The petition will be filed wit"
Board today. 1t will be very large
one and it will be urCed that the
reason of the Building being on ths
MAIN s'ree' arises from the fact that
Clara'nce Mackay has donated ma,
, nificent work of art to the State.
! 1t is hoped that under the circum
stance any property holder in tn
| city would be quite willing to Sc.
the land to the State and wait for tn
relief bill from the next legislature.
1t was rumored last night that t.
contractors would stop work on tn
present site until the Board could y
called together to act on the propG
sitions treated in the petition.
