LURED BOYS TO
THE GAMING TABLE

A young man named Bryan was
before Judge Brissell last Friday on
the charge of gambling with minors.
This charge is made a misdemeanor
by the statutes of the State. and the
penalty is a heavy one. There are
friends of Bryan who say that he is
not so bad as he is painted, or was
painted in the police court yesterday
morning. On the other hand, he had
an opportunity to clear himself, but
Jailed to do so in the estimation of
Judge Brissell. He was fined 5000
and costs, with the admonition that
If he ever came before the court again
on a similar charge. he would get the
limit. The limit is a fine of $500 and
six months in Jail.
Bryan has a room over the skating
rink, and a number of boys have
been in the habit Of playing poker
there, and it is said that Bryan has
been in the habit of winning all their
money. Where the boys got the
money upon which to gamble is as
yet a mystery, but Judge Brissell says
that numerous complaints have been
made to him in regard to money lost
In various homes. His honor is of
the opinion that the missing money
and purses have been purloined by
the young poker players in the club
room over the rink. There is a
youngster for whom the police are
looking, who is charged with having
enticed the boys to the skating rink
poker parlors, and the boys who we're
found in the game are being held
until the judge determines what
course he will pursue in their cases.
Judge Brissell considers the case
a very serious one, and says that the
boys are not only being taught 20
gamble, but also to steal the money
with which to play cards. He says
there are other games that have been
brought to his knowledge, and If the
guilty operators of the game are APP
pretended he intends to make 1t
warm for them.

BOOSTER TRAvERS is
BACK IN NEVADA

James W. Travers. one of the pro-
prietors of the Round Mountain Mug
get, and largely interested in Round
Mountain, returned yesterday after
an absence of ten months in the
East. Mr.. Travers visited the prin-
cipal cities of the East, putting in
most of his time in Philadelphia.
The people out here, said he,
have no idea of the great interest
that is taken in the East in the
stocks and properties of Nevada.
There is hardly a town Of any size
that is not well represented in the
stocks of this section. The people
look eagerly for the papers from
here, and devour every. item of news
about the mines, and they keep in as
close touch as we do ourselves. There
are five big brokerage houses in
Philadelphia where the papers are
kept on file, and these rooms are
crowded all the time.
The people, principally those of
the middle classes, have been up
against Wall street for a long time,
and they were badly pinched by the
recent slump. They have tired of
the so-called industrials, and they
are now seeking investment in the
Nevada stocks. There is plenty Of
capital in the East for investment
out here, and you win see it headed
this way just as soon as the financial
stringency is at an end. Conditions
are improving wonderfully in the
East, and money is getting easier all
the time. look to see the greatest
market we have ever had during the
coming year"

FAMOUS MINES
AGAIN AT WORK

AGAIN AT WORK
Albert Fries of New York, presi-
dent of the Richmond-Eureka Mining
Company of Nevada, spent a few days
in San Francisco before returning to
New York, in company with Albert
F. Holden and William Fl. Coolidge
of the United States Smelling and
Mining Company of Boston. Fries
reports that the joint properties, for
merly the Eureka Consolidated and
the Richmond Mining Company,
whose lawsuits have been in the State
courts and in those at Washington,
D. G., for years, have been settled.
After remaining closed for eighteen
years, the properties have now been
reopened under a new joint company,
control of which is vested with the
c. Fries estate of New York and the
United States Smelling and Mining
Company of Boston.
During the past five months ore
has been shipped from these proper
ties in large quantities to the smell
ters of the nited States Company in
tah. and plans have just been per-
fected for increased facilities for the
handling of upward of 500 tons per
day. Work has been blocked out at
that rate for the next seven to ten
years. 1t is not at all unlikely that
these properties will again become as
great and valuable as they were in
the past, when they yielded upward
of $4,000 600 in lead, silver and
gold. The town of Eureka, once a
fl%ourishing mining camp, has been re-
yiyed through the renewed activities
in those mines. and is again one OF
the ~lveliest mining towns in Nevada.

A 6O-Stdmp Mill is
Shipped from Denver

News has been received OF the shin
ment from Denver of a 60-stamp mill
by Mr.. Polechec of Milwaukee.
This mill will probably be the first
n to arrive in Rawhide, where at
the present stage mills are becoming
an absolute necessity. 1t is remark
able with the hundreds of tons of ore
ready for milling purposes that there
are not several quartz mills in the
course OF construction.
Mr.. Polechec is a well known oper-
ator who. with II. II. Hunter. has pur-
chased one of the Murray leases on
the Bald Hornet Fraction that has
shown up such splendid values Of

A young teacher whose efforts to
inculcate elementary anatomy had
been unusually d~iscouraging, at last
asked in despair:

a tell me what the spinal cord

She was met by a row of blank and

There is a greater showing than
there was in Goldfeld at the same
stage of development; there is nc
camp in the State that ever had as
good a showing at the same stage of
development. The area of the min
eral o M is about six miles in length,
and about two miles wide. In the
hills, wherever the eye may rest, men
are at work on leases, and from not
less than fourteen of these leases
they are taking out high grade ore.
Some Of the ore goes up into the
picture values, and there are big
lunches which will go 5000 and 5000
to the ton.
From the Owl claim of the Rose
berry group, Mr.. Booth secured a
sample which will assay 1925 a
pound. He brought in samples Of
this rock, the gold occurring in a
sort of tale and silicious porphyry.
Adjoining the lease from which Il
was taken is another lease which is
do&a 80 feet, and In which picture
values are found. A leasing COM
pany has been formed, covering prop
erty on Grutt or Mascot hill, which
has down three shafts, one of which
is so feet in depth, and the bottom
all in ore. On this hill is also the
Proskey lease, where they have con-
siderable high grade already sacked.
These are but a few of the leases
which are being worked; sacks Of ore
are to be seen at various levels of
the hills; samples of the pure quill
are taken from the workings that
would make the eyes water.
The old emigrant road to Califor-
MIA passes through the main street
of Rawhide, and many thousands of
the gold seekers Of the early days,
tramped or rode over tons Of the
precious metal for which they were
hunting. There are now over six
hundred tents and buildings in the
camp, which would indicate that the
population is in the neighborhood of
1000. Many buildings are in course
of construction and the noise Of the
hammer is heard necessarily. Water
is available at a distance of five
miles. and is sold in the camp for
$3.50 a barrel. Wood sells from $25
to $40 a cord. but will be cheaper
before very long, as there is consid-
cradle wood now being hauled into
Rawhide. Coal is selling for $40 a
ton.
The most serious drawback to the
camp has been the lack OF money.
was natural, since money has
been scarce all over the country. But
money is finding its way in there and
last Saturday, Clarence King, Of
Montana, speaker of the lower house
Of the Montana Legislature, and
of Bozeman, Mont, took up
the option on the property Of Carson
and Snowgoose, which was held byI
and Hinckley. Mr. King paid
fifty thousand dollars for the prop
arty. KearRs of Goldfeld paid $751;
100 for his lease on Balloon hill, AMI
le claims to have more than that IN
right now. Many teams are
net going into the camp, hauling
and prospectors and miners
and there is nobody leaving
he camp. Everybody seems to have
to stay, which is another good
ign in favor of the permanency of
lawhide.
