Miner INJURED
AT The MONTANA
DAN GREEN RECEIVES INJURIES
WHICH MAY PROVE
FATAL.

Dan Green, a miner at the Mon
tana Tonopah, was seriously injured
last night, receiving injuries which
may result fatally. He was looking
down into the shaft on one of the
lower levels, when the cage, in its
descent, struck him on the head,
knocking him prone to the earth.
The wonder was that he was not
carried down the shaft.
Green was removed to the Miners
hospital, where it was found that he
had sustained a fracture of the skull
and that one of his lungs had been
affected. The accident occurred at S
o'clock in the evening, and at mid
night he was resting easier, and the
doctors noted slight improvement
in his condition.

VERDICT AGAINST
RAILROAD COMPANY
ToNoPAH AND GoLDFIEIlD MUST
PAY THE SUM OF
S2O,5SS.

The Tonopah and Goldfeld rail-
road company was last night mulcted
in the sam of $2O,5SS, the jury in
the suit of r. NJ. Heningsen against
the corporation having decided in ia
yor of the former, and assessed the
damages at the sum mentioned. The
jury was out three hours and half,
and stood ten to two for the verdict
at the close.
The case involved a contract for
the purchase of railroad ties, which
contract, from the evidence, appears
TO have been violated on both sides
There was a sale of ties to the Mid
way mine. and Heningsen claimed
that he was entitled to the difference
between his contract price, and the
amount paid for the ties by the mine
The majority of the jury evidentl!
thought so, too.

RAWHIDE HAS
GREAT FUTURE
PREDICTION MADE THAT 1T WILL
ASTONISH THE ENTIRE
WORLD.

A. NJ. Gillespie returned last, night
from three weeks trip to Rawhide,
during which time he went thorough
ly over the district, and incidentally
secured some options.
"Rawhide is a pippin, said he.
1T has the greatest surface showing
that ever was seen any place, and
the extent of it is something Won
derful. You can trace the ore zone
for four miles. Two miles from the
town of Rawhide, which is in the
Regent district, there was made two
weeks ago ond of the biggest strikes
in the district. There is about three
feet of ore which will go as high as
| $500 ton, and there are several we'll
defined lodges in the vicinity.
I'm the town of Rawhide, where
the first discoveries were made, there
is a network of rich seams, from
which have been taken small for
tunes in gold Some of these seams
go down seventy feet, and still hold
! the ore. The camp will be one OF
the biggest boom camps in the State
! Just as soon as the financial situa-
! tion loosens up and capital is again
free for investment and speculation
Just now they are holding the prop
critics at pretty high figures, but Il
the severity of the winter lasts, yoy
will see prices going down to more
! reasonable proportions. There are
about a thousand people in Rawhidt
and about a thousand dollars among
them. How everybody lives is {
wonder, but you know how it is il
mining camp. Everybody helps hi
neighbor, and manages to get aloni
somehow or other. There is som
! building still going on, and there viii
be more in the spring"
E. R. Argersinger, the well know
broker and promoter of Goldfield
+ was another arrival from Rawhid
, last night, and he had similar stor
to tell about the camp.
, The best surface showings l hav
! ever seen exist in the camp" said he
and / have seen a good man

about two weeks ago two miles OF

GOLDEN SAYS
ALL Are SOUND

''All of my banks and those of Mr..
Hickey, / understand, will open for
business on the morning of January
Cd"
, That was statement made to u
Reno Gazette representative by Frank
Golden, president of the Nye and
Ormsby County Bank, this morning.
Practically all our depositors are
working together. When we open up
we anticipate a good run of business
from people who wish to deposit their
money with, us. We have always
been sound. There has never been
any doubt of that, and when we open
we win prove it to everybody.
The news that the Golden and
Hickey banks will reopen on the day
after New Years will be received with
rejoicing all over the State. 1t is
sign of renewed confidence, and
will do much to strengthen the finan-
cial situation in this State.
Mr. Golden stated that all was
quiet in the south, from which Sec
tion he returned last evening. He
says that many of the miners are OPP
posed to renouncing their allegiance
to the Western Federation of Miners,
but has no doubt but that all of the
mines will soon be running with full
crews.

In a cottage at 61S Fifth avenue,
without a sign to designate the use
to which it had been put, Charles
Rookard was placed under arrest last
evening by a force from Chief Con-
stable Inman's Office on a charge OF
grand larceny"
The place is said to have been the
rendezvous for high grade from the

ton of the premises last evening by
Tribune representative goes fai
from disproving the assertion. Al
the rear door a push button is seen
this communicates with the apart
ment in front. If the signal was moi
properly given the door was no
opened If the correct signal was
observed the man in front would pull
cord, then the latch would be raised
as if by magic and the visitor woulC
be given full entrance.

Last of Famous Fleet.

The barkentine Good News, the last o.
the once famous fleet Of clipper ships en-
ployed in the coffee trade between Rio and
Baltimore, has been sold by her owners
at Baltimore to parties on the Pacific, and
Is now at Philadelphia loading for Ia
coma, Wash. She is expected to sail this
week, and will make the trip to the Pa
cific by way of the Straits Of Magellan.
The Baltimore coffee fleet was made up
of the handsomest and fastest vessels fly
ing the American flag, and fifteen years
ago the barkentines Good News. Jose
phine White Wings and others were the
pride of the Chesapeake. They made
flying voyages from Rio to the Chesa-
,peake and carried only the cleanest Of
cargoes.
Gradually the Brazilian trade to Balti-
more fell off, and one by one the ships
were sold, until only the Good News was
left, and she will now go to the Pacific
and will be used in the trade there. The
barkentine Josephine. which held the rec
ord for the fastest trip ever made by a
sailing vessel between Rio and the Chesa-
peake, Is now owned in the north, and
has been converted into a coasting
schooner The old Good News has made
trip or two to this city in recent years.
