speedily to the supreme court Of the
Uuited States by the unsuccessful
party, where, it is believed, on account
OF the great public interests involved,
1t Will be advanced for hearing and
the validity of the bonds finally de-
termined.
lin view Of the fact that the laws
under which the bonds of all the
educational institutions were Issued
expressly provided against liability
OF the state upon any contingency, 1t
seems only fair to the taxpayers that
every resource should be exhausted by
the b%ondholders before the state 10
asked to shoulder a burden resting at
most upon a moral obligation, and
this sentiment has developed SO
strongly within the past two months
As 70 amount practically to a demand
upon the bondholders TO make every
reasonable effort to establish the
validity of the bonds as a condition
precedent to remedial legislation. So
far they have done nothing. Indi-
vidual citizens of Beaverhead, Mis-
sOula and Gallatin counties have con.
tributed the money to defray counsel
fees and other expenses of the case
decided in our supreme court.

a Montana View Of Los Angeles.

A representative of the Butte Even.
ing News, who is one of q party Of
Montana newspaper men who recently
made a trip to the Pacific coast gives
the following as his view of the cele.
brated California pleasure resort:
Don't come to Los Angeles to see
pretty women. If you do, you'll lose
money. l have nearly lost my eye.
sight looking for the California
beauties l heard about. You see
fashion and wealth and extravaganza
here. but the prettiest women l have
seen were high school girls thronging
the streets at 1 o'clock. and these are
Only-normal.
Los Angeles reeks with prosperity:
it simply drips with the money of the
outsider. Climate and the sea are its
great attractions and these have been
exploited with marvellous effect. Each
train which pulls into Los Angeles
brings with it hundreds of tourists and
health hunters. many who come to re-
main.
Among the La, 900 inhabitants the
original Los Angelecon is as hard to
find as the real, original Knicker-
booker Dutch in New York, or the man
who was born in Butte. The hotel
clerk ome from Wisconsin, the bell.
boy from New York, the guests from
everywhere but Los Angeles, and the
officer on the beat ONE from Ireland.
This year the ocean of tourists is
at food tide and the city bulges with
people who have come to spend their
money. There's the rub-that's what
m axes Los Angeles good. From the
magnate to the miser, every one who
fingers in Los Angeles is leaving
money and taking nothing away.

Mr., Conrad Talks Irrigation.

ed to have said:
81 am satisfied that the in
which the Milk river country will be
irrigated will be by turning st.
Mary's river into the Cut Bank, and
building q dam about 81 miles above
the mouth of the Marias, north
west of Fort Benton, and turning
this water down through the Big
Sandy, flowing into Milk river ten
miles west of Havre. This project
if carried out, will irrigate the whole
of the Milk river valley, and in fact
will also supply the Missouri river
bottoms to a point below Fort Buford,
an entire distance of over 500 miles.
This is II of the projects that will
certainly be carried out by the gov.
ernment, and is perfectly feasible.
There will be no International con.
tentions, as the entire project will be
within our country. A large
tract north Of Great Falls will be irri
gated before the water will be turned
into the Cut Bank river, and such a
large acreage will be affected that
| water can be furnished to settlers at a
very low price. After the government
has sold this water to settlers for a

There is a group of islands to the
south Of New Zealand called the Sis

ed to be subjected to a practically con-
slant rainfall. The same may be said
OF the islands and mainland Of TERRA

that the rain often takes the form of
sleet and snow. On a line running
round the world from four to eight or
nine degrees there r patches over
which rain seldom ceases to fall. This
Is called the zone Of constant precipita-
tion," but at the same time there are
several localities along it with very

The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-03-30

F. "a. Lathrap, secretary OF the Gold
field Stock exchange. and w. H. Wells,
a Philadelphia capitalist. returned to
Goldfeld yesterday from the Manhattan
country where they closed one of the
most important deals in the annals of
that camp. The gentlemen purchased In
the interest of themselves and Gold
field and eastern monied men the Fly
ing Cloud, Snow Man and Eva claims
on Litigation hill. paying for the acre
age 100000. For some time past the
property had been in litigation but
with it's reverting to the Lathrap-Welis
crowd all contests are quashed as the
purported equity of all contestants has
likewise been secured by them.
The claims are located in the heart of
the anhatta pay belt and are sur
rounded by some of the richest mines
in the camp. They lie between the
Union No. 2, Union No. 3 and Dexter No.
properties and are adjacent to the
holdings of the Manhattan Consolidated

One OF the sensations Of the week at
Manhattan was the strike Of $1,000 ore
In the bottom of the company shaft on
the Annie Laurie claim of the Manhaf-
tan Mining Company of Nevada. A con-
tact of three veins which had been shot
into was panned out OF curiosity. and
for every half pound of ore put into
the pan, about twenty-five cents worth
of gold dust resulted.
Assays taken from this vein of ore
gave values ranging all the way from
$500 to 81 400 a ton, and IN extremely
consistent average was maintained
throughout.
The ore on the different workings of
the Annie Laurie has begun to change
with depth into sulphides. an indication
recognized at once by experienced
miners as a token of p~ermanency. The
vein matter containing the recent strike
is about eighteen inches in width. and
admits of easy segregation from the
great mass of lower grade in which IL is
encased
A steam hoist and a pump have been
ordered on a hurry-up contract. and
pending their arrival a large shipment
of selected ore is being prepared for
~freighting.
Altogether six leases on the Annie
Laurie are now in ore of a milling and
shipping quality.

BLUE BULL KICKS UP DUST
AND CREATES A SENSATION

shares of Blue Bull stock held by a GER
tain miner of that town. Wednesday
morning the wires to San Francisco
were kept hot with buying orders for
Blue Bull and the infection soon per-
meated and animated the systems of
he somewhat apathetic San Francisco
crowd All sorts Of rumors were rife
in the Golden Gate City regarding the
richness of the find and as a result
Blue Bull stock sold even higher there
than in Goldheld.
There is no question but what Ham
mixer and Dougherty have located. a
stringer of ore and one thai returns
high values. but at this time it's ex-
tent does not warrant the sensational
advances of Wednesday in Blue Bull
securities. All the ore they have
broken down could easily be carried
away in a hat.
BY the foregoing IT must not be de-
duced that Hammiker's find is without
value. for the reverse is true. With
depth and further development the
chances favor its being a money maker.
He and his partner understand the min
ing game thoroughly and neither con-
siders that at this time he has more
than a favorable showing.
Blue Bull acreage has a prospective
value second to none in the camp as 1T
is located in the core of the productive
belt. The company own eight claims in
a group and on all of them the surface
showing is above average. Recently
George wingfeld, one of the most sue
cessful mining men in Southern Nevada,
assumed management of the property
and he is preparing to develop 1t IN an
extensive scale. Two ~lessees are now
working on the Hat claim n both
stand an excellent chance to make
money from their venture.
On the Cosser and Terrell block a
plant of machinery is being installed
and arrangements made to operate at
depth. Some months & these men
sent out a small shipment of high grade
from shallow depth and now have a few
sacks of screenings valued at close to
500 per ton piled near the dump.

A boulder. two sturdy miners. a
string of gold in the bottom of a pan
and an excited driver of a grocer's de-
livery wagon were the factors which
created a decided furry in Blue Bull
stock Wednesday and advanced the
price Of the securities from IL 10 20
cents per share on the local exchange.
and as high as % cents on the San
Francisco board. Over 100, 900 shares
of Blue Bull stock changed hands. and
In a measure the excitement that pre-
vailed during the call has a parallel in
the famous furry or American soap
t(bubbles) which created such a sensa-
ton on the New York exchange several
years ago In each instance the ad-
vance was equally justified. Here is
the story:
Hammiker and Dougherty nave a
lease on a block of the Hat claim of the
Blue Bull company. Some weeks ago
they located a ledge at surface which
looked like a COCO thing. They sunk a
shaft a depth of 60 feet for the purpose
of tapping the lead on it's dip. They
then discovered that the vein dipped
away from instead of toward the shaft.
Last Tuesday they abandoned opera
lions in the shaft and put in a round of
shots in a gigantic boulder which forms
part of the outcrop of the ledge. This
disclosed a 12-inch stringer of ore
While they were panning the rock the
driver of a grocer's delivery WACO
happened along n stopped to watch
proceedings. On catching sight of a
string of colors he drove Practically to
town and placed an order for 5000
shares of Blue Bull stock with a local
broker, at the same time announcing
that a phenomenal strike had been made
on Blue Bull acreage. The broker did
the rest.
AS soon as his client left the Office
the broker got busy and purchased OF
curb all the Blue Bull stock available.
his action started others and a general
scramble for the stock followed. In one
instance an enterprising broker hired
a rig and drove to Columbia late Tues
day night and closed a trade for 10000

Los ANGELES GETS INTO

That the wonders of Manhattan have
pervaded Los Angeles is evidenced by
the recent Incorporation of the Greater
