NORTHERN MINES IN
ELKO LOOKING WELL
SEVERAL DISCOVERIES MADE
THAT PROMISE TO PROVE
RICH IN MINERAL.

Charles Nelson, the well-known
mining man of Mountain City, Is in
Elko, say the Independent, on bust
ness and will remain until Monday
He reports much activity IN mining
about the famous old camp, and is
quite enthusiastic over the outlook.
He stated that several discoveries
have been recently made near town
by Reno aud California people
rich strike has been made three
miles northeast of Mountain City,
where a vein three feet wide has
been exposed, carrying 1925 to $3.50
ton. The discovery is to be ex-
tensiyely exploited.
DR.. Callahan and associates have
seven claims three miles north of
town upon which an immense deposit
of gold ore of good value has been
uncovered No assay has been re-
turned from this rock, but it pans
we'll.
Another new prospect has been
opened by Montana parties, rock
from which showed 25 per cent lead,
with SIG in gold and silver. They
have ledge II feet wide on this
property and are making active pre-
parations to open it up.
Mr. Nelson took occasion to yigor-
ously deny the statement that the
Protection mine has been closed. He
stated that fully twenty men are at
work on the property, and that rich
ore is being shipped right along. He
added that the superintendent, Mr..
Willis, is anxious to put more min
ers to work, and that experienced
men will have no difficulty in finding
employment there.
On the Resurrection mine, Joseph
Schloss, who is now in Elko, contem-
plates increasing the force of men
now employed in running a 1000
foot tunnel. 1t is also announced
that 81 day wage scale is to ba
established at the Resurrection.
The Mountain City group, an ex-
cellent property, which includes the
famous old Comstock, has been TAX
en- over by Philadelphia parties and
work is to be commenced August Is.
Among other things, 300-foot shaft
is to be sunk.
Goldfield parties are working a
new discovery on Harrison Gulch,
three miles east of Mountain City
and considerable wor kis being done
in sinking and cross cutting.
The Riddle Brothers, who recent
ly sold the Dick Bland mine at Aura
for $4,000, are preparing to work
a recently acquired property on Mill
Creek, about two miles from Noun
tain City. and will begin operations
August 18th.
About Copper Mountain, IA miles
northeast of Mountain City, some
promising prospects in copper, gold,
silver and lead have been found, and
prospectors are going into that sec
ton in considerable numbers.
For the prospector who wants to
find something, there is still room
enough around Mountain City, said
Mr. Nelson. But a man must work.
He can not expect to find much by
sticking to the road. He must get
out and look for it. The fact that
important discoveries have been
made so near town within the last
few weeks is evidence enough that
the diligent prOspector will be re-

JOE HARVEY GOES
TO THE GREAT BEYOND

Joe Harvey, the weII-known sport
tack of yphoid.pneumonia.
He had been i'll for ten days, and
at one time it was thought that he
would pull through. Harvey had an
adventurous career. He was born
in Tyrone county, Ireland, but came
to California as boy. He started
life as a clerk in a dry goods store,
but eventually drifted into gambling.
He was a much shrewder man than
generally credited, and soon amassed
a fortune. In the early days he con-
Quoted the wheel of fortune at coun-
ty fairs. At one time he owned
few race horses, but he was never
enamored of the game. He won
some money during his connection
with the turf, as he was especially
fortunate in owning the good race
mare, Wheel of Fortune. In recent
years he conducted the Sausalito pool
rooms in connection with Frank Da-
rouX. These rooms We're veritable
mint for their owners.
Joe Harvey enjoyed the reputation
of being square psort, and his word
was as good as his bond. He was
a great money maker, and leaves a
fortune to his wife, Louise Harvey,
whom he married five or six years
ago. The deceased was 81 years and
8 months old, and had wide ac-
quaintance all over the coast.
Joe Harvey befriended many a
man in San Francisco. He helped out
Charley Fair on many an occasion,
especially before he came into his
wealth. Harvey was also starch
friend of the late Chief Lees. Dur
ing the nineties Harvey lived on the
first block on Eddy street in San
Francisco, and was frequent visitor
at the Palace and Baldwin hotels.

HOW TO READ FORTUNES
IN THE TEA LEAVES

After tea party or a picnic it
adds to the general entertainment if
the hostess can read her guests for
tunes in their tea cups. An old lady
who has built up quite a reputation
in this way has revealed to us how
she does it.
In the first place. she says, you
must turn the cup upside down
above the saucer, and solwly revolve
it three. times Then start your in
spection. If there are any drops of
tea adhering to the cup, it is a sign
of tears to come.

PATSY DIVER TO
GET A NEW TRIAL
SUPREME COURT GRANTS HIM
ANOTHER HEARING ON MUIR
DER CHARGE.

rex" Hall has received a dis
patch stating that Patsy Dryer.
convicted of murder, has been grant
ed a new trial. The matter was TAX
en- up by the supreme court, which
granted the appeal for new trial.
Patsy is well known by several
people of this city. The shooting
case was an unusual affair, and
judging from the evidence was a
matter of mistaken identity.
II seems that Dwyer got into a
miX-up with a man in a saloon at
Austin. Their quarrel grew bitter
and when they finally departed it was
pretty we'll understood that it was a
case of the man who pulled his gun
first.
That night Dwyer, while in the
tenderloin district, met man whom
he mistook for his enemy. In fact,
the person was almost exactly like
the man with whom he had quar-
relied. He happened, however, to be
the county recorder and auditor, and
just as the two met the county Of
fetal struck a match on his trousers.
PATSY" thought he was drawing his
gun, so opened fire, instantly killing
the unfortunate man. Another man
was accompanying the county record
er and he was also shot by Dwyer.
Dwyer was arrested and it was
brought out during the trial that the
deceased was l IA inches taller than
the man with whom Patsy had had
trouble, that his clothing was the
same, even to his hat and shoes. The
two looked exactly alike.
The people were worked up to
such a pitch of excitement that they
threatened to lynch the prisoner and
the trial resulted in finding him
guilty of murder in the first degree.
PATSY" has been in the death cell
at Carson awaiting his fate-wheth-
er he was to be given new trial or
was to hang.

a sea voyage. A little square patch
means a letter. A circle means a
proposal of marriage, and short
line means a visitor. Then there will
be patches resembling animals and
objects, such as birds, etc.
Having observed all these indi-
cations, you start to weave your
story, using your imagination freely,
but keeping everything within the
bounds of possibility, from your
knowledge of your guests character
and circumstances.
