REGENT TO THE FRONT.

An attachment was levied against
the Regent Syndicate Mining COM
pany's property at Regent this week.
Among the claims filed are those of
the miners as we'll as those of other
creditors. The cause of the delay in
settling is reported to be among the
owners of the property as the ON
pany's holdings are valued at $780,
600, and capitalists are said to be
anxious to purchase the property.
Sheriff Shirley went out and took
possession of the mine.
This, however, will not affect the
camp, as it is said all the miners who
have been working on that property
will find plenty of work on other
claims in the camp.
Hunts', a Goldfield promoter, pur-
chased the Stockton mine the first of
the week. it is said, for $4,000, and
will Immediately begin operations.
A property at Sunnyside in Regent
district has come to the front through
a deal in which the purchasers gave
$4,000 in cash and agree to do $780,
900 worth of work for a half inter
est, the work to be done before any
part of the interest is transferred.
On the Rawhide group eleven leas-
es are now being worked, eight more
are to be started by September 1 and
2 more by the 10th. The Snow
Goose in this group shipped five sacks
of ore which netted 1921. The Raw.
hide fraction shipped thirteen sacks
of ore which netted a little over
$1,000, the lucky n being viii.

The Tarantular claim has just had

T. L. Oddie of Tonopah was in Re.
gent Saturday with an auto party
looking for property. He stated thai
Regent had the best surface showing
of any camp in the state.
A good many people are visiting

CROWDS COMING

X. B. WHITTEMORE SAYS TRAVEL
FROM THE SOUTH is
HEAVY.

From the Tonopah Daily Bonanza.
r. B. W~hittemore, vice president
and general manager of the Gold
Center Ice Company, and secretary
of the Lee State Line Mining Com
pany, arrived in Tonopah last night,
coming in from Gold Center.
1--WE are making considerable i'm
provements in the ice plant" said
Mr.. Whittemore, ''and have more in
contemplation. We are going to put
in a cold storage plant in Goldfield,
and are now about to ship distilled
water into that camp. The improve
ments in the Gold Center plant in
clude an increase of its capacity.
THE Lee district, in a quiet way,
is booming. There are five proper
ties now being worked there. The
Hayseed, which is the biggest mine
there, is looking better every day.
Our property adjoins the Hayseed,
and, in my opinion, we have another
good property in the Lee State Line.
THE Tonopah and Tidewater Rail-
road Company, Borax Smiths road,

about the first, and the road ought to
be in there about the first or the
middle of October. 1t is the general
impression in the south that that is
as far as the road is going, that the
cars will run into Rhyolite from
there on the rails of the Brock road
and that the project of bringing the
road to Tonopah has been abandoned

CHAUFFEUR SAID
TO BE A FORGER
FRANK WRIGHT CASHES CHECKS
FOR LARGE AMOUNTS
AND SKIPS.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)
nnn- NArnarLA Amman III n 4

Frank Wright, a former chauffeur
of Dave Holland, is being sought by
the police. He has not been seen
since early yesterday morning, and
his whereabouts is a mystery that is
vainly being attempted to solve.
Before leaving for unknown dis
tricts, Wright, it is alleged, secured
several hundred dollars by means of
cashing checks, which, it is claimed,
are forgeries. Wright, according to
the stories going the rounds, has
been travelling the path of tickle for
tune, and for a short time during the
past week was very lucky. He IS
known to have made several pretty
good winnings, and then, doubtless,
the tickle goddess led him the wrong
way.
On Monday night he presented two
checks, to which were appended the
name of Dave Holland. One was for
$3.50 and the other for 500. The
former was cashed by w. S. Johnson
and the one for the smaller amount
by N. Carlson of the Alamo saloon.
1t was all right until the checks were
presented for payment at the Nye
and Ormsby bank, when the money
was refused on the ground that the
signature of Holland was a forgery
The matter was put into the hands
of the police, and the wires began tC
sizzle with the messages that wen
over them. Wires were sent to Reno
Hazen, Las Vegas, Salt Lake and sew.
eral other points, and the police a
Goldfield were telephoned to. De

were sent out broadcast, and if HI

YERINGTON Mines
Bring THOUSANDS

Two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars for a Yerington prospect.
That's the record established thus far
in this wonderful red metal district.
A quarter of a million dollars; an
enormous sum to pay for eight claims
and three fractions, which, besides
meagre surface workings, has a shaft
sunk to a depth of but rs feet.
Surely this monster deal places a
confidence in this district which can
not be shaken. And, mark you, the
sum involved in the transfer of the
property is said by those familiar
with the Mcconnell property to have
taken the holdings from the bargain
counter.
The deal affecting the title to the
property was perfected some time
since, but for some reason the public
was not appraised until a few days
ago. The purchasers are the Gold
field-Nevada Reduction Company.
The terms of the sale have not been
given out, but information from a
source considered reliable, states that
a good bulk of the sum was cash in
hand. The former owners represent
ed a group of Salt Lake parties.
Immediately following the closing
of the deal, the new owners set to
work with a vim, which has for its
object the opening up of the estate
at the earliest possible time. A
three-compartment shaft is being dis.
patched as rapidly as men, money
and machinery can accomplish the
work. The past week saw the in
stallation of much machinery,
consisting of a complete compressor
plant, two electric hoists, etc.
The Mcconnell is one of the
earliest locations made in the Mason
district, what is popularity known a;
the Yerington district. Many years
ago, before copper had come to occu
by the position it now does in thu
mining world, Jack Mcconnell, ;
prospector, located the ground. A
the time there were no railroad con
nections at Wabuska. Some idea o
the richness of the ore may be showI
when it is learned that Mcconnell
hauled the rock to Dayton and Their,

can it be shown that he would hav

days. He chlorided the surface, e2
tracing from different parts of hi
property the richest of the stuff
shipping it to Dayton, where 1t wa
treated and finally sold to the Unite
States mint at Carson.
Mcconnell was long since called t
his final rest. He did not live to Sc

HIGH-GRADING ON
PITTSBURG-LIBERTY
OFrom wednesday's Dally.l

High-grade ore to the amount OF
between 100000 and 100000 is
now blocked out and on the dumps OF
the Pittsburg-Liberty mine at Ma
sonic, according to the estimates OF
Colonel Caleb Dorsey, n of the or
iginal owners of the property, and
Harry Cutler, expert and engineer for
the Nixon-Wingfield interests in Ne
vada. Thousands of dollars OF the
amount are from the streaks of high
grade found in the big ledge on the
property which in places assay as
high as from sixty to eighty thousand
dollars to the ton.
The company expect to put in a
cyanide plant at once, also a new
hoist and other improvement that
will cost about $4,000. The new
mill at the mine in course of con-
struction by Wills Brougher will be
ready to run in about two weeks and
all ore from the district which as
says below $1,000 will be handled by
the mill. The high-grade will be
shipped.
The Pittsburg-Liberty people eX-
pect to begin a more active campaign
than ever prosecuted in the history
of the camp, according to Colonel
Dorsey and Senator L. G. Campbell
of Colorado, who are heavily interest
ed in the mines and are now in the
city. More machinery will be secur-
ed, the workings increased, the out
put more than tripled that at present.
The mill and cyanide plant in the
district owned by the company, will
be able to handle all thG output save
the very valuable ore. Last night
they te~legraphed from this place for
1000 ore sacks for the mine, the
sacks to be shipped at once, as they
are needed.
The option held by Nixon and
Wingfield on the property expired
several days ago, but not before the
two had vainly attempted to secure
an extension on the option for a per-
observation-disclosures. The property when
they took the option was not greatly
developed and as the time limit was
sixty days they desired a longer time
to prosecute their work. Another
thing that may have caused the pur-
chasers to stop and think was the
fact that they were only getting
about one-third of the stock in the
property, not nearly enough to con.
troll the policy of the company. WheT
they requested the extension of the
contract the owners refused to grant
1t.
The events of the past few days
have showed the owners were just.
tilted, that the mine was worth more
and they were wise in refusing tht
extension. The high-grade ledge
which had been lost at the 100-foot
level has again been found and more
of the picture rock is now beins
brought to the surface. The ledge
has dipped to the south. but an ex
tension of the drift caught it anC
now it has righted and the men ar

looms and all the little adjunct
which are necessary to insure a grea
and good camp. The True Frien
