IOWA MAN SEES BRIGHT
FUTURE FOR GoLDrIELD

L. a. Friedman. a prominent business
man of Dubuque. Iowa. and interested
in the Mayne-Goldfeld Mining compary.
was here this week looking over his in
terests in the camp.
TT has been less han six months
since my former visit here" said Mr..
Friedman, yet the changes. particularly
around D~iamondfeld, a been mar
velous. In October L went over the
ground and at that time with one or two
exceptions none of the properties were
in ore. Today more than a half dozen
mines have become shippers and each
week sees new and almost sensational
developments as work progresses.
"Goldfeld looks prosperous. The peo-
pie on the street are a better looking
crowd, indicating. I should say, that the
camp was on a more substantial basis.
The riff raft has disappeared from the
streets, the town has a more stable APP
p~earance. Many prospects of six months
ago are mines today. The current year
will Undoubtedly be the best in the
history Of the camp. Outside money is
coming this way and the outlook is in
deed bright"

A contract was let this week by the
Goldield- Overield Mining company TO
Edward McKelvy and Grant McLausn-
lin to sink an additional so feet on its
group of claims near Wild Horse
springs and south of Red Mountain. The
company is a Chicago corporation and
the stockholders are nearly all residents
of that city. z. K. Overfield is the
president and l.. B. Langworthy secre-
tary. Both gentlemen have been in
Goldfeld for several days arranging tc
thoroughly exploit the property. A shaft
has been sunk 66 feet on a we'll defined
ledge which dipped way from the
working at a depth of Is feet. Assays
ranging from $40 to SIS v been Sc
and from the breast of a crosscut run
from the 5O-foot level.
The company intends to go to a depth
of 200 feet with the present working
shaft. The ledge is between so and Is
feet wide. and the foo wall has not
been reached.
The Overaeld company this week pLT-
chased the Montana group of claims a
half mile distant.
There is no little activity in the sec
ton of country laying TIVE Fed
Mountain and Cole springs. Several
eastern outfits are sinking shafts and
work is to be resumed IN the Nancy
Donaldson at Red Mountain within a
short time. Ms country is a very in
viting looking section and mining men
who are familiar with the locality agree
that it holds a great promise for the
future.

ELY BECOMING A
BrG COPPER CAMP

Old White Pine is setting a pace that
will keep some of the celebrated South
ern Nevada counties busy if they keep
up. according to John Wedekind, who
came in this morning from the eastern
part of the state where he has been
looking after the interests of the White
Pine Placer Mining company. in which
half a dozen Reno people are interested.
ELY is recovering her lost laurels," he
said. The old camp is welcoming all
newcomers every day and there is every
indication that she will become one of
the largest copper producers in the
world. The railroad will reach her
early in the summer and in anticipation
of the development that will follow she
is booming as she has not done since the
While Pine excitement of nan years
ago."-Reno Gazette.

AURORAL0OKING UP
Few STRIKES Give Great Impetus to
Mining interests

The ricn strike which was made last
Saturday by Nelson and Meyers. gets
better as depth IL reached. The fnrst
strike was in stringers but as they go
down IL is developing into one wide
ledge carrying high values. The claim
Is a fraction zoo by zoo feet, and adj
Joins the Durant claim, from which mill
lions were produced in the bonanza days.
1t is the opinion. from surveys and other
Indications, that Nelson and Meyers
have cut an ems of the Durant
ledge. which gave average values of
$500 a ton. If this proves to be a fact
then the owners indeed possess a
bonanza. They have already refused a
cash DER of $4,000, preferring TO de-
velop the property themselves.
A nine-foot ledge of high grade mill
ing ore is the record of the Live Yankee.
The Hansens. who have a lease on this
property are pushing the work with a
vigor that is giving good and encourag-
ing returns. Now that they have un-
covered a ledge nine feet in width on
the hfty-foot upraise and proven its per-
manency and value they nave turned
their attention to blocking out the ore
bodies and getting matters in shape
preparatory to taking out ore so soon
as the mill shall be in shape for receiv-
ing ii.
The first of the week the main ledge
was cut in the tunnel of Rio Del Monte
mining claim at the distance OF about
one hundred feet. 1t is three feet in
width and goes s14s In value per ton
In the forty-foot tunne a two-foot ledge
has been cut that gives average values
of $50 per ton in milling rock, and the
vein gives every indication of widening
as depth is reached. The main tunnel
goes in forty feet to a junction with the
two working tunnels. and sixty feet
from the junction the three-foot ledge
was cut, picked samples gave values of
several hundred dollars per ton while
general average rave from 1927 to s14S
per ton.-Aurora Borealis.

THE POLICE COURT.
Case for Not Sending Children to School Continued for Investigation

James Smith and his wife live on the corner of South Elm and Scovill street. Mrs Smith refused to send two of their four children, Lucy 10 and James s, to school. She told Truant Officer Deeley she would not send them for him or for anybody else and then the truant officer considered it time to have the Smiths arrested. They were in court this morning and Smith stated to Judge Burpee that the children have not been to school since this term. He said Lucy is a delicate girl and the boy is not very strong either. For the one day the girl attends school she is laid up two or three days. But he hoped to be able to send the children to St Mary's when they are strong enough to go. The case was continued to Saturday morning for investigation and if the statement of Superintendent of the Board of Charities Norris that the children have not proper home is borne out they will be committed to some institution.
 James Monroe for intoxication was fined $7 and costs.
 Henry Hickcox, of Watertown, was fined $5 and costs and Fred Stenbom was committed to the Brookside for thirty days.

THE MORMON PERIL.

Another batch of peasant girls ar
rived on the Arabic on Saturday. in
tow of Mormon missionaries, going
to Utah, where the president of the
Mormon church has recently been
convicted of polygamous practices.
One OF the ships officers said that
these converts were "some OF the
finest girls in Europe" If they were
not, the Mormon church would not
spend such enormous amounts of
money and compel the sacrifice of
time spent in missionary work by the
regiment of Mormon elders engaged
in this occupation.
IL is not being done ecretly, for
the Mormons know their political
power. How long will the govern
ment allow this traffic I'm human souls
to continue unmolested?-- Boston

TWELVE PEOPLE BLOWN INTO
ETERNITY IN A TWINK
LING.

There was terrible dynamite ex-
plosion at Lowry, station on the
Norfolk and Western Railway, Just
east of Lynchburg. late last evening.
II shocked the country for miles
around. 1t was a car load and was
near the station. which was blown
into fragments, and killed eleven or
twelve people which were in the
vicinity. The telegraph wires were
blown down and communication cut
on. II was car load of dynamite
which was being used by contractors
who are double tracking the Norfolk
and Western at that point. No def
mite report as to how the explosion
occurred has been received but
enough is known OF the accident to
reveal the fact that 1t was most
horrible catastrophe.
