FAST MOTOR CARS
CAUSE ACCIDENTS
One Crashes Into Distributing Cart,
Hurting Horse and Driver.
Another Runs Down
Man

Automobiles were the cause of two
accidents early Sunday morning, and. it
was only by chance in each case that
serious results were averted.
About half past 1 o'clock Sunday
morning Charles Whitthart, a distrib-
utor for morning paper, was driving
his horse and wagon north on Broad
way. An automobile crashed into his
rig at the intersection of Broadway
and First.
The wagon was badly damaged and
the horse was cut severely. Whitthart
himself escaped with minor bruises by
jumping just as the machine struck
the wagon. Witnesses of the accident
say the auto number was 2S0 Cal,
but they did not get the names of its
occupants, who left as soon as it was
discovered that no one was fatally in
jured. The witnesses also say that the
automobile was going at very high
speed when 1t struck the wagon, and
though the chauffeur tried to avoid the
crash the speed was too great.
About o'clock in the morning Lewis
Cohen, aged 40, a shoemaker living at
3371k East First street, was run down
by an automobile at Second and Main
streets and his ankle badly sprained.
Cohen was treated at the receiving
hospital and later taken home. 1t is
not known who the machine belonged
to or who was driving 1t. Bystanders
say that it was travelling at high speed
and was being driven recklessly.

ORE SHIPMENTS
FROM THE CORA K.
Valuable Group of Mines in Shadow
Mountains District of San Ber-
nardno County Owned by
Local Capitalists

Work has been progressing night and
day since November last upon the
Cora K. mine on the Tonopah &s Tide
water railway, siXty-two miles north of
Ludlow in the Shadow Mountains dis
trict Of San Bernardino county. A 200
foot tunnel has been run to cut the
vein. The prospect shaft is down forty
feet, showing silver-lead all the way
from grass roots. Assays from $16 to
$75 in silver and lead have been shown
from top to bottom. This group of
mines is owned by e. w. Smith, B. F.
Wright and A. L. Coleman, all of Los
Angeles. AS soon as the vein is cut
below which will open up the ore
bodies at an initial depth of 100 feet,
concentrators will be put in and the
shipment of ores will begin.
The location of these mines is con-
tiguous to the Tonopah & Tidewater
railway, being only about 800 feet from
the main track, and the rich products
of the mine can be readily trammed
from the mouth Of the tunnel to the
car and thence to the Needles smelters
at 81 per ton, and owing to the lime
gangue and quantity of lead, the cost
Of treatment will be in favor Of the
shippers. Owing to the extreme heat
of the desert the company has thought
best to discontinue work for a couple
of months, taking UP work again in
September, when it is expected that
one of the richest propositions of the
Mojave will gladden. the hearts Of the
owners and establish the reputation of
the district.

MERGER MINES
STOCK GOSSIP

Announcement is made by San Fran
cisco papers that persistent rumors
that Barney Baruch and Thomas F.
Ryan of New York had secured con-
troll of the majority Of the stock of
the Goldfield Consolidated Mining COM
pany gained strength on Bush street
when several brokers received dis
patches from their confidential agents
in Philadelphia and New York, partially
confirming this story. Among the brok-
ers who received such advices were
had the utmost confidence in his source
of information.
It Is reported that Baruch, having
already secured an option on 100000
shares of stock, has enlisted the aid Of
Ryan and has managed to gather in
another million shares in the market.
This would give them practical con-
troll for the present, since the entire
number of shares issued is 100000, and
in giving Baruch the option on 100000
shares, Nixon and Wingfield agreed to
issue no more shares until January 1.
Brokers on Bush street generally ex-
pressed themselves as glad to credit
the story if true. 1t is believed that
with such financial backing the merger
stock will rapidly rise and carry the
rest of the Goldfleld stocks with them
for at least part of the way. Many think
that these are the stock of the great
mining properties of the world, and
look forward to seeing them listed and
sold in Paris, Berlin and other world
money centers.
Nixon and Wingheld are said to have
emphatically denied that Baruch has
obtained control. Several brokers ex-
pressed the opinion that, not Ryan, but
the Guggenheims had been enlisted in
swinging the control away from Nixon
and Wingheld. The Guggenheims al
ready have vast mining interests and
It is believed that deal of this mag
nitude would appeal to them. Baruch
Is reported to be related by marriage
to the Guggenheim family.

Excitement at Crescent
Special to The Herald.

SD6Cldl
CRESCENT, New, June 2S.-Con-
siderable excitement was caused mere
bv the report that the Golden Crescent
Mining company had bonded the c. &
G. mine. owned by Chester and Atkins.
This property consists of five claims
situated on the northern slope or Cres-
cent peak, which can be almost called
a mountain of mineral, and about three
miles east of the town Of Crescent. The
original owners opened up very ricn
ore shoot on the surface from which
several rich shipments were made, net
ting the owners over $500 per ton.
President 1. G.. Woodwork took a
lease and bond on the property with a
good sized cash payment and started
work Immediately in the Chester tun-
mel. which is now fifty-five feet, with
24-foot winze. The intention OF the
present management is to send the tun-
mel in about ESQ feet, when raise Will
be started through to the surface.
The values are principally IN golo
with silver and galena and slignt per-
centage Of copper The ore is to be
shipped to the Needles smelter for
treatment. The total cost of transpor-
tation from the mine to the smelter is
81. .25 per ton Water has been de-
veloped on the property for all pur-
poses, mining and milling.
Under the aggressive management of
the Golden Crescent Mining company
this property should develop into one of
the best dividend paying mines in
Southern Nevada before another year
has passed, and the development will
be watched with much interest by the
mining men of the Searchlight and
Crescent mining districts

bers. The section which has attract
ed most attention recently is the civic
and social science section, with Mrs.

The object of this section has been
to fight vice in Goldheld. wherever 1t
endangered the homes, and two no
torious refreshment parlors on Column
bia street were recently closed UP. The
men of the camp have wholesome
respect for the club and the woman
get just about everything they want.
They go at their work with determ-
ination which wins even the gruffest
of their masculine adversaries. When
they first began their fight upon the
refreshment parlors. they were told by
the men who owned the leases on the
places that they could not hope to win
and might as we'll give up trying to
close them. They smiled and invited
the men to wait and see," and twen-
ty-four hours later their task had been
accomplished.
Its the Goldheld way, you know"
