Wonder stock, and while in New York
he purchased block of Goldfeld Con-

COX OPPOSES LISTING
ON EASTERN EXCHANGE

w. l.. Cox, of the w. L. Cox Broker
age company of Reno. has just returned
from an extended tour of the eastern
market centers, and in the course of an
interview has expressed himself very
strongly against the listing of Western
mining stock on the big Eastern ex-
changes, saying:
In regard to placing Nevada mining
stocks on the big exchanges, l will say
that all Western stock owners and in
vestors should try and prevent the
stock being placed on the boards of the
those boards, Eastern stock manipula-
tors begin to juggle and in this way
kill trading as much as possible Ne
vada mining stocks are not easy for the
manipulators to handle, and for this
reason they try to prevent trading in
them as much as possible. My advice
to the Western mine owner and stock
investor is to steer clear of the Eastern
exchanges with their good profitable
stocks"
On the general subject of Eastern
sentiment in regard to Nevada stocks
Mr.. Cox said:
Everyone in the East Is talking of
Nevf/a and there Is general feeling
among the investors of all the large
Eastern cities that the labor troubles
in Goldfield will be settled soon and that
when they are settled the trading in Ne
vada mining stocks will be greater than
ever before in the history of the state.
There are not many people in
the East who are buying Nevada stocks
at the present time. but those who hold
stocks are hanging on to them and ex-
pect to see them climb with giant steps
just as soon as the labor troubles are
settled"

BANKERS MAGAZINE TO
HAVE GOLDFTELD STORY

Charles w. Reihl, an expert bank audi
ror of New York, who has been spending
month in Goldfeld, has prepared an
article on "Goldfeld. the Town. the
Banks and the Mines" which will appear
in the Bankers Magazine for May. in
which he pays high tribute to Gold
field and makes a glowing prophecy as
to the future of the camp. Mr.. Reihl,
who left for the east yesterday, says
"Coldield bankers, in addition to being
conservative. enjoy all the very best
methods in the conduct of their busi-
ness. I can see absolutely nothing to
criticize in them, and / think there is
no doubt of their being able to weather
the hardest kind of a financial storm.
"As to the town of Goldfeld, I have
been more than interested in the uniqN
and distinctly western features than
in anything else, but think it stands
alone for a camp of its size for energy
and enterprise. The gold in the noun
tains is not Goldfeld's only asset. A
population of energetic and tireless
workers such as that of Goldield is an
asset in itself which counts heavily in
the camps favor.
Not being a mining expert. I had to
CLEAN most of my information in mines
from other people, but IL the opinion
of experts is worth anything the mines
are world beaters."

RAILROAD DAY CELEBRATION

Beatty, New. April 1s.--Railroad day
for Beatty is assured for April 25 and
26, as the line of the Tonopah Bullfrog

DIsTRICT ATTORNEY HIT
TT BIG AT WONDER

District Attorney Swallow some days
ago returned from Wonder, where he
had been called by the strike on the
Golden Wonder. last Saturday evening.
Mr.. Swallow is greatly pleased with the
appearance of that property. in which
he is largely interested. He says the
ore is high tellurium and hematite of
iron. 1t assays from $3.50 ton up and
picked specimens assay into the thou
sands. The ledge is seven feet wide
with three feet of high grade shipping
ore. Development work will be rushed.
The strike created great excitement in
Wonder. according to Mr.. Swallow who
says the stock jumped from Is to IS
cents in a few days.

JUDGE SEEDS ENTHUsIAsTIC
OvER 0OLDFIELD's FUTURE


Judge w. p. Seeds, who was one of
the prominent figures in the develop
ment of Cripple Creek, has been look
ing over Goldfield and the country i'm
mediately adjacent to the camp. He was
taken on a tour of the surrounding
country last Sunday in an automobile
by Senator Nixon and former Governor
Thomas of Colorado. Judge Seeds is
enthusiastic to a degree in speaking
of Goldfied and it's mines. He says
Cripple Creek could not compare with
this city at the same stage of it's growth
and predicts that Goldheld will become
the greatest distributing center for
Southern Nevada.
Il am surprised at the growth and
permanency of the district" said Judge
Seeds. TT is characteristic of a new
camp that most of the Developments is
surface work, but here the development
work has gone deep enough to show
beyond question the permanency of the
mineral resources.
"The builders of Goldfeld have
avoided much that retarded the growth
Of Cripple Creek and other camps. A
much more responsible class Of pro-
moters is backing the district and what
is more, they appear to believe that the
place where they make their money is
good enough for them to live in. In
Cripple Creek the promoters of the dis
trict were almost like parasites, having
their homes and spending their money,
to large extent in Colorado Springs
and Denver.
1.-The number of fine residences and
substantial business blocks in Goldfield
is a genuine surprise. In addition to
being a producer almost in a class by
itself, Goldfield has a great future as
an industrial center. 1t is the natural
distributing point for Southern Nevada
and this is important when it is realized
that the development of the resources
of the state has only begun"

Salt Lake.
Those who can be cared for at the
hotels will be handled in that manner
while the sleepers will be kept on the
tracks with buffet coaches attached and
the overflow from the hotels will be
cared for in the cars.
Real estate operators in Los Angeles
and Goldfeld have been buying as many
of the choicest properties as possible
with the evident intention of turning
them on railroad day but the townsite
people have stopped the giving Of op-
tions and spot cash sales only are
possible.
Trains from Los Angeles will carry
prominent business men as well as
Beatty investors and a member of the
Chamber of Commerce will be asked to
make the trip to report upon the Bull
frog and Lee districts.

sTARrIN0 WORK ON
CASTLE ROCK WONDER

Judge Denny has gone to Wonder to
start work on the group of four claims
owned by the Castle Rock Wonder Min
ing company. The property adjoins the
Stray Horse. owned by Al Myers. The
officers of the Castle Rock company are:
II. t. Bragdon. president; r. l. Colburn.

and t. ]. Gay. treasurer. These. to-
gether with f. ]. TAFT, Fred Segar. and

was in New York at the time of the big
furry in railroad stocks and Of course
there was nothing doing in mining
stocks at that time but they appreciate
the opportunities afforded for good in
vestments in Nevada and are ready to
put their money into anything that looks
good to them.
II have had no opportunity to talk to
anybody about the labor situation here
since my return and cannot say what the
prospects of a settlement are but I am
satisfied that things cannot go on much
longer as they have been and look for
an early resumption of work. / don't
think the miners will hold out much
longer and as soon as the mines are
opened up again you will see big influx
of fasteners in here"
Mrs. Monnette did not come to Gold
field with her husband but went on to
San Francisco where Mr.. Monnette ex-
poets to join her today. From San Fran
cisco they will go to Los Angeles, re-
turning to Goldfield May /.

PUSHING DEVELOPMENTS IN
THE GOLD MT. DISTRICT

exceedingly high grade ore has been
found on the keystone claim Of the
Nevada Empress company.
"The entire Gold Mountain district"
said Mr.. Sills, holds out wonderful pos
sibilities as a producer. Very soon the
railroad will be completed into the heart
of the district and steady shipments
will be the result.
"The Gold Mountain district has been
producer for thirty years and the ore
has been shipped 800 miles to Austin
for treatment but in the face of this
handicap the district has progressed to
remarkable degree Now that the rail-
road is entering the district the mineral
output will be increased fourfold.''

GORDON TALKS or
BONITA DISTRICT

Gurney Gordon, who is interested in
the new camp of Bonita. in the Reese
River country, IS miles north of Tono-
pah, says the district is rapidly coming
to the front Bonita is growing fast
and some good properties are being
opened up. Mr.. Gordon's company. the
Reese River Gold Mines company has
a ledge from 60 to 20 feet wide of free
milling ore. John NJ Fairfield of this
city and Jack Bowler of Tonopah also
have some good looking properties.
There is some high grade ore but it is
mostly a low grade proposition. There
is plenty of wood and water and Aus
tin is only 30 miles distant from Bonita
to the north.

4 NEW PRECEDENT.

The unwritten law does not stand still. IT
grows rs the statutes do or the "judge-made'
law does. The case just decided in Virginia
marks a stride in advance II IS now estab-
lshed there that If a daughter tells her father
some man has wrongod her he may 60 out and
ILL that man full OF buckshot-that is. he may
tf he has an attack OF insanity forthwith: for
IT is not clear from this case whether or not. If
the fathers mental equilibrium is undsturbed
By the story, he may sally forth as an avenger
with the entire approval of the community.
Certainly If he looks unusually pale when he
takes down the family shotgun from it's nail
and If his record as a consumer of strong drink
is adequate he has license from Virginia So
ciety the champion of home sanctity.
Whether the young wOman's story is true or
false makes not the slightest difference. So
ciety that does not insist on state inuuirv into
the evidence before execution naturally would
not demand that the avenCer waste his time
upon private inquirg. The holy shotgun must
not be retarded on its summary errand by mere
fornalities. To ask that the avenger should AT
least first assure himself OF tie justice Of his
cause would be to Infringe anger's privilege.
OF course the mwritten law encourages mur-
der, but, then, there Is n firm and widely held
belief that murder is the mainstay and ancient
prop of civilization. Without it man would

in the necessity Of murder will despair of hu

man who ISLANDERS away his reputation or the
man who stays those near and dear TO him Il; but
the man whom some woman accuses, justly OF
unJustiy, that man must be murdered by a
member Of her family. There are wrongs whose

cision of the Virginia jury, but perjury is
properly encouraged along with it. If private
vengeance is to be recognized it will be eX-
.remely handy to explain an act of vengeance
upon the ground that some woman in whom
the ayerger had natural interest told him
story which made him grow extremely pale"
and reach for the shotgun. No man of fire
sensbIities will doubt Il wOnan's word; TO
murder is much more honorable; and no jury
OF fine sensibilities will doubt it either. The
story may in some cases be an 2fterthought TO
make the homicide justifiable under the unwrit-
ten law but it must not be open to question.
The unwritten law must be kept free from the
refinements, subtleties and rules of evidence
that characterize the written law Perjury is
misconduct unknown to it, The written law
should properly treat perjury as a possibility.
But Il law made for gentlemen of fine sensibili-
ties may safely ignore perjury.
