p~rOSpeCtOr Has
a Big Surprise

j. A. Tibet and Fred Lazone of
this place, who, for some months
past, have had a grub-staker out in
the region a few miles north of FL
dorado Canyon and on the Arizona
side, this week received from the
same party a small bag of specimen
gold rock, with advice that it repre-
scented new locations and also that a
larger quantity would soon follow.
The ore was from the surface, as
claimed, and plainly from one to
two-inch stringers. 1t was very hand
some and indicated surprisingly rich
ground.
These gentlemen also received az
other surprise in the same connection
and quite without precedent. Their
field partner had no use for more
funds at this time or fog some time to
come. He explained that in the
course of tramping about in the back
country he had found an old aban-
dOhth stamp hAiAs ludt was oO ahNAOAt
that nobody appeared to have any
knowledge OF it. The owners or
workers had left 1t in such haste that
they had not cleaned the mill plates.
He, forthwith, made a cleanup, TOOK
the bag of amalgam to Chloride,
where he cancelled his obligations
and laid in a fresh stock of supplies.
He did not explain how much was
left after all this dissipation, but,
evidently, had not yet cashed in the
plates. As is well known, these, in
an old mill. are of considerable value.
All suggests another hint of ro-
nance of the old chloride days. Also
a hint Of large values yet remaining
for modern methods TO realize on.
Tibbet and Lazone have plainly
prince of a field prospector. He hat
previously located some high grade
copper and 1t was on this develop.
ment work that he was engaged wher
he made the new gold ind.-Search

the King OF the Klondike," walked

day when the steamship arrived from
England, with his bride on one arm
and a package containing $500, 900
under the other.
Lemon was married a few months

seemed concerning II, as a big man
with a big pistol in his pocket ae-
cImpanied Lemon.
The "Klondike King said he sent
$1,000 900 from England to Seattle
through the bank, but the money be-
came tied up here during the finan-
cial furry. So he brought $500, 600
more himself. The party left to-
night for Seattle. Lemon went to the

Diamond Queen
Mine is Sold

According to information from
Fred II. Strehkle, the controlling in
terest in the Diamond Queen prop
erty has been sold during the present
week TO New York people, who have
deposited the bonus money with the
Bullfrog Bank and Trust Company
at Beatty. The consideration is not
announced, but it said to be for a
goodly sum Of money.
The parties relinquishing the on
troll of this well known property are
X. Il. Waugh, John Kernick and r.
II. Gillies. There are five claims in
the holdings, which are situated on
the south side OF Bare Mountain,
about nine miles from Beatty and six
miles from Roosevelt, a station on the
Las Vegas & Tonopah railway.
The work now in progress on the
property is being done by leasers,
Messrs. Pendleton and Hardgrove,
who are said to be taking out ore
that runs in the neighborhood OF
5000 in gold and silver. The leasers
have taken out about 80 tons of this
class Of ore, and have same sacked
ready for shipping, and It was ex-
pected that a shipment would be
made before this, but owing to the
embargo placed on ores by the Salt
Lake smelters. the leasers have not
made the shipment as yet. As soon
as they are assured that the smeltsr
will handle the ore, the wagon road
between the mine and Roosevelt will
be improved and the ore win be load
ed at that station.
The rich ore is being extracted at
a depth of 80 feet. the pay streak be-
ing from ten inches TO three feet in
width. In another place a width OF
30 feet OF ore has been exposed, and
It is stated that a sampling of this
ore showed an average value OF
$3.50. The rich ore occurs on the
porphyry hanging wall.
The Diamond Queen has advanced
rapidly IN the estimation of the gen.
eral public under the work done by
the leasers, and the property today
is considered one of the likeliest in
the entire Bullfrog district .-Rhyo-

LOCAL SCHOOL
DOWNS TEACHERS
WESTON NORMALITES UNABLE
TO SCORE AGAINST HIGH
SCHOOL BOYS.

In two snappy twenty minute halves
the Weston Normal team went down
to defeat before the gridiron knights
of the local high school yesterday af-
ternoon to the tune of Is to o.
The field was dusty, the sun was hot
and the crowd was bO,hersome, but
the game went on just the same and
despite the fact that the normal team
outweighed the local boys, they were
pushed down the field at will.
Only twice during the whole game
did the Weston team make its yardage
against Coach CLOVIS team. One by
desperate plunging and a second time
by a quarter back run.
Weston plainly showed the lack of
coaching. The boys were eager and
played hard, but they put up no in
reference and their men, when sent
with the ball, went alone and were
more often than not thrown back for
loss.
showed the effects of good coaching.
With a team, ten members of which
had never been in any game other
than the practice one with Whitman
"a week ago, they played football from
start to finish and played not only
hard but scientifically. CLOVIS work on
this raw material has told and to him
is due the fact that the light team was
able to make consistent gains through
a heavy line and around Weston's
large ends.
One disappointment to the crowd
was that but one fancy play was tried.
A forward pass was attempted once
in the last few minutes of play but
failed as the ball touched no player be-
fore hitting the ground.
Oldright made a pretty drop for goal
in the last of the, first half, earlier in
the game he attempted one, but the
center passed the ball over his head
and before he could recover the line
broke.
In the first half a touchdown and
goal. and a field goal by drop kick,
made 10 for the local team. In the
last half they made a touchdown but
failed to kick the goal
The game was good and though no
fancy plays were tried, it showed that
gains through the line will be little
used this year and more dependence
will be put in trick plays and END
runs
The teams line up as follows:

THE GREEK OF TODAY.
Consul General Horton Delivered In
struc.ive Lecture.

Hon. George Horton, consul gen.
eraI to Greece. yesterday Afternoon
gave an illustrated lecture in the
Whitman college chapel on the Greek
life of today.
Dr. E. Z. Shaw, president Of the To-
cal branch of the American Archeo-
logical society introduced Prof. L. F.
Anderson, who introduced the speaker.
Mr.. Horton said in part:
THE Greeks of today are extremely
clannish and although they are hos
pitable to strangers, they never quite re-
OF themselves.
Their language, while not that of
the classic Greek, bears a strong re-
semblance to it and has only such
changes as might be expected in such
a length of time. l. is language to-
day which is understood throughout
to become the universal language of
the world.
Our ideas that Greeks are good
only as banana peddlers and railroad
graders. is a false one. The Greek is
the equal of any modern people,
After the lecture Mr.. Horton showed
some fine pictures of Greece and it's
inhabitants The educational features
of modern Greece it's theaters, hospi-
tails and churches, were shown on the
canvas in a realistic style

HAS WINsoME PERSONALITY.
M adame Maconda BoSh Gifted Artist
and Beautiful Gracious Woman.

Madame Maconda is the possessOr
the head of concert sopranos in the
east" says the New York Evening
Sun. 1t is more difficult to arouse
enthusiasm ana call forth the emo
tiOns on the concert stage than it is
al operatic roles, and this high praise
from the Gotham critic is due not
alone to the wonderful voice and rare
art of this famous singer, but also to
her winsome personality and beauty.
Art and nature unite in her to make
both a gifted artist and a charming
and gracious woman.
She is no stranger to us in the west,
but since her first appearance here a
few years ago under the direction of
Lois Steers Wynn Conan, her art has
broadened and deepened, and local
music lovers will find it fascinating
study to note the remarkable evolu-
tion of her genius. The furore of en-
thusiasm that she created at that time
is sure to be doubled or trebled this
season. She has gained greatly in
power of emotional appeal, in dramatic
force, in volume of tone and bril-
liancy of technic
She has wider Intellectual vision and
more penetrating insight into the hid
d9r meaning Of the composers she
elects to interpret, yet at the same
tiria she has lost none OF that naive
simplicity and Spontaneous charm
that so captiN Nated her hearers on her
former viSi.'

LOCAL MEN To
BUY CITY BONDS
Buildings to he Erected With
Wa||a = Capital

AS the result of the executive ses-
sion of the city council held in the
council chambers last evening, an
agreement was reached amOrg the
members of the body to dispose of the
100000 city hall and fire station
Trust & Savings company and later
by Rollins & Son, bankers of Chica-
go.
The action of the city council in
this matter was made after a delib-
crate ani satisfactory investigation of
the financial condition of the city, and
not for the reason that the city's Sc
curities We're in questionable condi-
ton.
Yesterday afternoon. Mayor Kel-
lOugh. in company with several MEM
bers of the city council made a brief
canvass among the leading business
men of the city, and with but very
few exceptions, these men offered to
take a certain amount of bonds. AS
soon as nearly $4,000 was promised,
it was the conclusion of the city Off
GERS that the remaining s50.000 in
bonds could easily be disposed of. and
for this ~naSOn a Snacial meeting of
the council was called.
1t is now the general belief that the
city will experience but little if any
difficulty in dsposing of the bonds.
While discussion on the subject is
general. nothing was done today in the
direction of disposing of the bonds.
Work on the new city hall and fire
station continues as before, and this
alone is sufficient reason to believe
that the contractors in charge of the
work are confident of a speedy settle
ment.
Though the meeting of the council
last night was behind closed doors, it
was learned this morning from an au-
thentic source that Mayor Kellough,
in addressing the body, stated that
there would be no trouble in disposing
Of the bonds, and that it was his opin-
ion that the work on the new build
fngs would continue undisturbed.
