fine TRIBUTE
To ENTERPRISE
SOUTHERN NEVADA MERCAN.
TILE COMPANY PREMISES
CROWDED ALL DAY.
From Tuesdays Dailyl

The formal opening of the South
ern Nevada Mercantile company,
which took place yesterday, was a
ine tribute to the energy, industry
and enterprise of the young men who
compose the firm. The handsome
store in the former premises of the
State Bank and Trust company was
invaded from morning until night.
The firm had prepared for a big
rush, but they had not looked for
anything such as what took place.
They did not have enough teams to
deliver the purchases that were
made, and they were short of HELM
to wait on the customers. They lost
no time in repairing the DEFICIENCIES.
Other teams were hired in addition
to the three which 1t was thought
would be enough to start on, and
more help from the outside was Sc
cured.
And what a beehive of industry
that store was all day. The clerks
were kept busy, and the proprietors
were just as busy, but no one was
too busy to bestow upon all the Gus
toners UNMARRIED courtesy, and it
made one feel quite important that
he or she was one of the customers
of the new firm. There were many
who went to the store for mere curl
osity to see what 1t looked like, and
to ascertain if there were anything
new in the city in the way of groc-
cries. These stayed to make pur-
chases, for they found everything
that could make up a full and sat
isfactory larder for even the most
fastidious. And the green fruit and
vegetables in the way of display ex-
ceeded anything that had ever been
e before, and as on Saturday, the
entire stock was depleted.
Everybody who called voted the
store quite the handsomest in its way
IN the city. Everything was SO neat
and so clean and inviting, the grocer
les and speeialties SO we'll arranged;
in fact there seemed to be nothing
lacking in the house, and not a
single customer vas there who had
aught but praise for the new estab-
lishment.

RICH PAINTINGS
FROM ELLIS CAMP

There is gold and plenty Of it al
Ellis Camp at Barrett Springs, and
rock can be picked up almost any
where on the hills that pans gold
Ore found while the claim-owners
are setting monuments is brought in
from all parts of the camp and when
PANIED shows colors of yellow metal.
1t looks as IL gold Is found in any OF
the quartzite that crops all over the
district. Generally speaking, the
gold which is PANIED is fine, but on
the Smith & Walters claims they
have found considerable coarse gold.
In the presence of representatives
of the STIR at the camp Sunday,
Mr.. Smith PANIED a number of
samples of ore of different charac-
ters and in every case the result was
a good string of colors. Messrs.
Smith & Walters are busy doing their
einch work, and have it about COM
pleted.
A. T. Holman of the Western In
vestment company, a Colorado min
ing man, who is interested with them,
Is examining the property and he is
very mGch pleased with the show
Engs. IT will not be long before ag-
gressive development work will be
started on this property.
Not a day passes but what rich
strfngers of silver ore are found. This
pre- lis a green-stained quartz, show
ing considerable oxidized iron and
bromide of silver, and is of the ship
ping grade. +
On the Ellis G. Jackson claims a
large number of these stringers have
been found and float Of this character
cam be picked up almost anywhere
on their claims which are situated at
che south end of the low hills. These
stringers are being uncovered and it
will. not be long before they will be
extracting ore for shipment. Besides
Gne rlcn SILVER ore, they nave found
ore that assays over 5000 to the ton
in gold. In doing location work on
another group of claims on the north
end, Ellis G. Jackson have uncovered
a number of places where the ore
pans well in gold.
Mining men of prominence who
have visited the camp in the past few
days speak well of the conditions
there and believe that the camp of
Ellis has eve chances to make good.
Few other places in the state have
the surface showings for big gold
mines that this camp has, and 1t is
believed by many that another De
La Mar mine has been found only
about eight miles from Winnemucca.

6rst find about a month ago, there

his nice work when he came in.

MS nice WoFh WHen ne came IN.
Yeazell was batted pretty hard
Saturday and was mighty lucky tc
have a win to his credit. Billy is d
dangerous batter, though, as his
home run will show.
Agnew got three hits out of eight
times up in the two series. The fans
are glad to see that this player is
getting his batting eye on the ball
. & i
Three double plays Saturday and
two Sunday show what a great ar
ticle of ball the two teams put up.
Brown, the Goldfield shortstop, is
a great improvement over Mullett.
Hoag, Tonopah's catcher, is a ter
ror with the stick, getting five hits
for an average of 500 in the two
games.
Lundy got six hits out of seven
times at bat in the two games, but
his two errors Sunday were respon.
sible for four of Tonopah's runs.
Murray made a bad error Sunday
which should have been an easy out.
Besides he struck out three times.
Captain Hunter was unfortunate,
getting hit three times in the two
games. He was hit once in the
jaw and once in the head, and either
n of them might have been very
serious.
Gray's misjudgment of an easy
fly in Saturdays game shows that
this player needs lots of practice
in fielding. His batting makes him
an important factor in the game,
however.
Mullen made a double play unas-
sisted in Saturdays game.
q +" y
Manager Ulmer's new battery,
Yeazell and Baer, are both CLASSY
players.
Abe Brown took in the two games
and the pockets of Goldfeld's plung-
ers are lighter today in consequence
of Abe's visit to Goldfield.
Tom Kendall, Billy Douglass,
Puddy Grimes and about thirty 9th
ers went owe from here to see the
game Sunday.
Mcdonald batted 500 in the series
which puts that player above the
800 mark for the season. Gray
will soon be flirting with the 400
column If he keeps up his present
rate.

him that he was going to kill some

one. He Is the son OF a wealthy far.

1t Is said that he fell heir last March
to a small fortune approaching $4,000
but that this has been placed out al
interest. However, It is known that he
had money here. as he has spent large
sums during the time he has been
known In Smoky Row.
He was arrested Friday, accused oil
abusing Goldie Johnson, a woman Of
the Smoky Row district, and Saturday
night Tom Chesser was arrested
