 Attorney Ed Flsnnigan is Tomb stone visitor on legal business. Agent Wadleigh of the $. P. at Maricops is a Tombstone visitor. Mir. Wadleigh was formerly located at Fairbsnk and has many friends in this section who are pleased to see him. Robert Hiburn of Douglas is in the city circulating among friends.
 Engineer Curtis of the Tombstone branch was taken ill this morning and was ordered to the company hospital at Bisbee for treatment. It is hoped the illness of the popular engineer will not prove serious.
 Benson citizens have started an ih- dignation meeting at the Junction City and are up in arms against the action of the 5. P. Go. to fence of their right of-wsy and running their lines through the main street of Ben son. The fence line would leave but 30 feet along the main thoroughfsre
 and practically obstruct business and
 traffic along the public highway. The
 wires are being kept bot in protest
 with the 5. P officials and this morn
 ing s,eps were taken ts secure an in-
 junction before Judge Doan If neces. ssry to prevent the fencing of the street. It IS presumed the matte will be satisfactorily settled, since it is probable the real injury caused by the order is not known by the s. P
 officials.

"Until further notice telegrams for the ess. and north are subject to de- lay"
 The above message posted in the local Western Union telegraph office tells its own story of the danger of the strike of telegraph operators in San Francisco spreading throughout the country. At the present time tele- graph service nearly everywhere is somewhat crippled, although no gen. eral strike has been declared. A number of telegrams arriving here from eastern points are fully forty eight hours behind the time of filing. Thn is undoubtedly due to the un- settled conditions now existing and the fact that operators in many of the larger cities are on the verge of strik- InR.

An American Joker
 sIn Mexican Jail

An Arizona joke has landed Walter Williams, cowboy, in the Mexican jail st Canapes. Williams told . mighty graphic yarn in Cananea late last week of seeing Ysqui Indians on the warpsth near the border. Colonel Kosterlitzsky with the Mexican ru- rsles was induced to take the "trail" on t,'e Mexican side of the line. Cap tain Harry Wheeler and his Rangers watched for the Y4qu;s on this side.
 Al the border the two forces met.
 "I think we have been sold, said Captain Wheeler.
 "A sell. ehw said Kesterlistzsy, and he gave his mustacbios that peculiar twist which in Sonora signals up q firing squad and an adobe wall. Luck fly, Mir. Williams happened to be sn American citizen.
 Col. Kosterlitzsky and his soldiers marched back to Cananea. They found MT. Walter Williams lolling in a wire psrlor.
 'It was only q sell,' complained the eow-puneher as the rurales seized him.
 Exactly; . cell '" said Kosterlitz- sky. Take him away, meni"
 And so it hsppens that MT. Will Hams is in dursnce vile in Cansnea. His trial takes place next week and may prove q SC ions matter for the cowboy. Under the laws of Mexico it is possible that the prisoner be given s long term in prison.

Ore Body
on C0mStoCk

VIRGINIA, Sept. 5.-The ore body
being opened above the Sutro tunnel
level by the Hale & Norcross company
is showing a marked improvement,
and for a width of twenty feet the
average assay is nearly $1iO per ton
The ore discovery is of immense di-
mensions, as Superintendent Turney
states that he has the northern con-
tinuation of the ledge in the Savage
mine, $50 feet north. 1t is also be-
lieved that the ore extends into the
Chollar, and the work of cleaning
out the drift to the latter mine con-
Meeting with the Sutro tunnel level is
being rushed. In the Hale & Norcross

say nearly $500 per ton, ore from
which is being sacked for shipment.
President Fox and Superintendent
Higgison state the advance in the
price Of stock is based on a great
! Improvement in the ore body.

oLoWer the
Rates on Flour

RENO, Sept. 5-The Southern Pa
cific today announced a rate on flour
from here to Goldfield and intermed-
ate points of so cents per hundred
The old rate, was $1.4O. A protest was
recently made of the fayoritsm shown
California flour shippers, and the cut
follows.
The Southern Pacific has announced
that as soon as the interstate com
merce commission approves Of the
rates, a reduction of freight of from
$1.40 the hundred to 80 cents the
hundred pounds will be made from
Reno to Beatty, Goldfield and other
Southern Nevada points. The re-
duction is probably the result of an
agitation started short time ago
by the newspapers of the state.

END OF GOLD
FIELD STIKEIN SIGHT
Representatives of Miners Con-
fer With Nixon and WingfieId
AS to the Terms

The strike of Goldfield miners
against the Mohawk and Combina-
ton mines of the Consolidated Mines
Company is practically at an end.
Officially the announcement ,can-
not be made until the Goldfeld
Union has ratified the action of it's
representatives, Vice President Nc
kinnon and Hamilton, in conference
with Senator Nixon, George Wing
field and Judge Bryant, the legal ad-
wiser of the company, held here les
terday, but from an indisputable
source it was learned that none of
the members of the conference have
any serious doubts concerning the
favorable action OF the union when
the result of yesterdays conference
is laid before it.
Senator Nixon's private Office at the
rear of the Nixon bank was the scene
of the conference, upon the result of
which depended not only vast indi-
vidual interests, not only in the state
but all over the country, but upon
which hung matters of the greatest
intertit to the whole state and its
entire mining industry, which in turn
is of national Importance.
No word of the details of the meet
ing was allowed to escape beyond the
room, but that the best of feeling
prevailed on both sides and was
maintained during the meeting, there
is no doubt, and the fact that ar
agreement was reached, SO far as the
interests represented are concerned
which is satisfactory to them, is as
sured
When seen last night, after the
conference had been closed, Senator
Nixon said:
Il am not at liberty to tell you the
details of the conclusion reached b.
the parties Of the conference, nor thu
method of reaching it, but | can sa.
that an agreement was reached
which all are satisfied with, ant
which we hope will be acceptable t
those in Goldneld.

Oil Well Down
Over 1000 Feet

RENO, Sept. 6.-The 1000-foot level
has been reached in the well of the
Nevada Oil and Development Com
pany, and while Foreman Murphy will
not commit himself to an opinion he
admits that the expected strike may
occur ny day from now on, as suf-
icient depth has been reached to
warrant the expectation.
The character of the material in
which the drill has been at work for
many hundreds of feet remains the
same. 1t is the blue shale but that
it may be penetrated at any tins &c
indicated by the fact that Its char
acter is changing and with every
days drilling it becomes harder.
Should the character of this rock
change, the strike of oil may be ex'
pected at any moment of the drilling
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1907-09-06

Personally | will say that the best
OF feeling prevailed throughout the
day, and that SO far as those of us
who took part in the affair are con-
cerned, the conclusion IS satisfac-
tory to the greater part of the men,
and that the strike will therefore be
thing of the past.
After the conference was over the
representatives of 1.-THE Goldfeld
union became the guests of George
Wingfield at dinner, which fact bears
out the statement that the best of
feeling prevails on both sides, and
lends strength to the belief that a
lasting and satisfactory agreement
Which will receive the ratification of
the union was reached.
The statement of Senator Nixon to
the eject that the result of the con-
ference had led to an agreement sat
isfactory to the company makes 1t
certain that the change-room contro-
versy had been adjusted, and that
the representatives of the union have
agreed to the demand of the company
that the watchmen employed by the
company shall be neutral.
Both sides are very confident that
the agreement reached will be salts
factory to the union, and as they are
men very high in the confidence OF
the body they represent it is not like
ly that they should be mistaken in
what would be acceptable to their
constituents.
Mr.. McKinnon, whom late reports
during the afternoon accredited with
haing gained the presidency, for
which the election was held Wednes-
day, is naturally in a position to know
what his union would accept and
what it would not, and that he is
! firm in the belief that an agreement
has been reached which will dissolve
the strike, makes it nearly certain
that the hopes of all concerned are
about to be realized and the striking
miners will return to work-Reno
