VISIT COL.DBANKS

j G. Taylor and w. C. Pitt of
Loveock were in town last Sunday
after having made trip of obserra-
tion and inspection to Goldbanks, the
coming mining camp of this county.
They state that the surface showings
are not in the least exaggerated and
that the camp is building up rapidly,
having at the present time some 300
inhabitants. OF the fourteen
leases now at work, all Of whom are
busily engaged, they mentioned that
Bleair s two leases have the best
showing, as at both shafts, one of 40
feet and the other 80 feet depth. the
indications point to a shipment of ore
in the near future. Among those Wis
iting Goldbanks during the week be-
sides those heretofore mentioned were
+. Reinhart and Messrs. Haviland and
Wheeler, all of whom, as far as can
be learned, were well pleased with
the present showings

ATTEMPT TO STEAL AMALGAM
RESULTS FATALLY
,~~~~~~~~~~~~.

GOLDFIELD, Nov. ". L..
Kline, proprietor of one of the larg
est jewelry stores in Goldfeld, was
shot and fatally wounded last night
at ll1:3O while in the act of stealing
amalgam from the plates at the Ne
vada Goldfeld reduction works. He
is dying at the Miners union hospital.
Amalgam has been stolen on several
occasions lately, and the management
Of the works set trap for the thief.
Kline was caught in the act anu was
shot four times in the head as he was
trying to escape.
A sheriff s posse arrested Ralph
Gipple at 5:45 this morning at the
house of Mrs. Mary X Harper, and
locked him upas an accomplice OF
Kline. Gipple was until two months
ago the ticket agent and operator at
the Tonopah & Goldfeld depot and
was an employe of the postoffice be
fore he accepted the position at the
depot.
The officers did not anticipate trou-
bic when they intercepted the men at
the reduction works, but took no
chances. When the command was Civ
en-, GLANDS up.n both Kline and
Gipple reached for their guns, which
were lying by their sioes. The officers
then fred. Kline wore derby hat,
and the bullet which will cause his
death struck the brim near his temple
and passed entirely through his head.
With the blood streaming down his
face, he retained possession of his two
guns, but was too dazed to use them.
He was able to talk and walked
from the carriage to the steps of the
hospital half an hour later, but soon
became unconscious. He has wife
and two small children, who arrived a
few days ago from California. The
two men are suspected of similar
crime two weeks ago, when the Gard.

j. r. Mum, the original locator of
the Durango Girl and Disappointment
groups, north of the Sulphur road,
having secured a lease on that prop
erty from the present owners, has re-
turned to Rosebud and is doing con-
siderable work on the ground. As he
is fully cognizant of what may be dis
covered and where it may be- found.
he feels assured that shortly he will
be able to report valuable and success
full returns from the same.
The Brown Palace still continues
to sack ore and are doing extensive
work on the property. !.
The work on the Big Six still con-
tinues and those at present in the
camp look forward to a great improve
ment in conditions during the next
30 days.
Marion Nofsinger, who has been

the completion to carload of ore for
the Brown Palace mine at Rosebud,
which was Immediately shipped to
the smelters from Humboldt This is
some of the high grade, for which
shipment Rosebuders have been
anxiously waiting, as it is estimated
that the ore will reach as high as
$500 to the ton in silver and gold At
the same time Mr.. Nofsinger brought
with him part carload from the

iner mill in the south end of town was
robbed of $4,000 worth of amalgam.
Immediately after the two shots were
fred Gipple ran to the second story of
the mill building and jumped from a
window 80 feet to the ground, alight'
ing on a pile of ore, and escaped un.
hurt.
Gipple sent for Sheriff ingalls, this
afternoon and confessed in his par
tieipation in the affair. He says that
he and Kline were led into the scheme
by Jones, night watchman at the
mill He says the matter was dis
cussed by the three men at different
times and Jones said the plates could
easily be rified of the amalgam any
night the mill was not running, and
suggested that he and Kline do the
work and divide the spoils with him
Klione had been buying amalgah at
his iewelry store and shipping it to
the mint at San Francisco, and
thought it would be a good scheme to
act on the suggestion.
Last night, Gipple said, Jones came
to Kline's store and said the mill was
closed down and now was the time to
turn the trick, that there was $4,000
worth of amalgam on the plates. The
electric lights were burning at the
batteries and the men set to work,
feeling perfectly sure with Jones as
an accomplice. They were strtled
by the command to throw up their
hands, andGipple Immediately ran to
the stairway, kicked out window
and dropped to the ground. As he
ran for the fence, Jones, the watch
man, shot at him. He scaled the s.
foot ,icket fence on which barb wire
is strung,
He went straight to the house of
Mrs. Harper, where he waited a short
time for Kline. Mrs. Harper was
housekeeper for Kline.

remainder of the performance.
The tall man went behind the bar
and took all the money from the
cash drawer and then the pair went
to the roulette wheel and raked all
the coin in on the table. The ivory
ball was rolling when they reached
that place and it dropped into No.

and still keeping the men covered,
backed out of the room and disappear

The police Immediately started a
search, but up to a late hour had dis
covered no clew. The men secured
$40 from the saloon till and $415 from
the roulette wheel.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
RESPONDS IN SHORT ORDER

Once again the ability of the Win
nemucca fire department was brought
to the front last Saturday afternoon,
when by their prompt action in quell
ing a blaze that started in the Winnie
mueca assay Office, a serious confla-
grafton was nipped in the bud and
what might have been of serious con
sequence was prevented. 1t happened
that by the leakage If a small pipe
leading from the gasoli entank to the
furnace an explosion took place. But
by the promptness in which it was
handled no serious damage was done

1t is funny how a mere picture will
get men excited and get their fighting
blood up and make them swear But
when picture does that it shows
the reality of the picture. Every
night when "The Sea Wolf - is shown
in the moving pictures at Biggips
theater, the muttering of choice
names can be heard all through the
crowd as the audience expresses its
opinion of the old "sea wolf,' and
many a man wants to get hold OF
him and give him what is coming to
him. The picture portrays feature
of sea life that was once common, but
is now very rare. And of course the
play could not be complete without a
pretty girl, and so pretty girl is
provided.

SIDE LIGHTS
ON MICHIGAN
NEW SCHEME TO PROVIDE WORK
FOR coNVICTS is NOW
CONSIDERED.
TO FIGHT TRUST GOODS
Breaking Stone Not Feasible, But
cordage is in the Opinion Of Some
Students of the Problem.
Work for conviets.

II is proposed TO use the powers OF
the state CT Michigan TO fight such OF
the trusts as monopolize certain lines
of trade and charge the people OF the
state exorbitant prices for their wares.
Members Of the legislature who have
the scheme in mind do not express IL
that way, however. They say 1t is
necessary 10 provide work for the con-
victs in the penal institutions. and
they believe the cCnvicts should manu-
facture goods now sold in the state
only by some trust.
In the reorganization OF the prison
system of the state. which has been
made necessary by the recent inter
probation of the constitution by the SUI
preme court, some legislators favor
abolishing the contract system and
manufacturing goods on the states
account. There is no reason. 1t Is de-
clared. why the prisons Of the state
should not be self-supporting, and now
is the time 10 provide for turning
them into manufactures. The plan oil
selling the labor of the prisoners was
inaugurated years ago, because peo-
pie i'm those days objected 10 the state
entc4ing business. the socialistic fea-
lures Of such a scheme being mere un-
popular then than now.
Aside from the binding Irvine plant,
Il is suggested that general cord
age manufacturing plant might be es-
tablshed Rope is manufactured by a
/ trust Another industry proposed is
that OF making grain bags. The sacks
are made by one OF the big trusts,
and it is said that one western state
now has a grain bag plant, which
turns a large sum annually into the
state treasury and sells its product 10
the farmers at prices away below
those of the trust
1t is proposed to inaugurate a hunt
for trust-manufactured goods, which
the state may fight by means OF its
state prisons. In adopting this plan
the claim is made that the labor in
terests of the state would not be in
opposition.
The present situation is said &c be
serious. There is danger that all work
may be taken away from the convicts.
Generally, there is objection TO the
plan TO use the men I'm the penal in
stitutions to break stone, and the mem
bers say 1t is impractical in Michigan.
