FIND RICH VALUES
in MOORE'S CREEK

fteen miles to the northeast of
reid Mountain on the same slope
of Toquima range lis a small gold
camp which. for some unknown rea-
son. has been almost entirely over
looked.
And yet it is four years since c. w.
Anderson, a rahcher, found gold on
the surface while riding after cattle.
Free gold which is carried in the
most beautiful looking quartz and
pans as readily as the gold Of Round
Mountain.
The district is known at the pres
ent time as Moore's Creek, and, Curl
GUS to relate, there are FIVE leasers
now hard at work in this unknown
camp sacking high grade ore.
A representative of the Nugget
made the trip to Moores Creek last
Sunday on horseback and spent the
day going over the ground. 1t would
be difficult to imagine more promis-
ing showing than the surface forma-
ton and indications present.
Four rleasers, William Trembath,
]. L. Sullivan, c. NJ. Dull and Pat
Murphy, are working on the Baby
claim owned BY Mr. Anderson They
have sunk two shafts, one of them
sixty feet deep and the other fifty
feet. At the bottom of each shaft
the men have drifted between fifty
and seventy-five feet on the vein.
The ledge averages about three
feet in width and more perfect.
defined one it would be difficult tt

ores in stratas. Assays which hav'
been taken across the entire two
feet of ledge give an average return
of $40 to the ton in gold and silver
with the former predominating.
This ledge can be traced and 70

MILL
BEGINS GRINDING

The Sphinx min is the fourth in
Round Mountain to begin the work
of grinding out the bullion. BY the
time this issue OF the Nugget is in
the hands OF the majority of its read
ers the Sphinx will have become one
of the steady sources of gold supply
for the U. S. mint rss 8
George E. Weber, a son of Super
intendent ]. L. Weber of the Sphinx
mine, who has been in charge of the
construction work, will have super
vision of the work of milling.
Fires were started under the boiler
on Thursday in order to warm them
up and yesterday steam was turned
ON for the first time. Only one shift
will be worked for the present until
all the parts are perfectly adjusted
and everything is working smoothly.
Owing to the heavy winds which
have prevailed during the week, the
work sof putting up the high trestle
over which the cars will be run from
the ore dump to the mill had been
somewhat delayed.
The Sphinx has already one of the
largest ore dumps in the camp an
this will be run at once. No decision
| had been reached in regard to the re
sumption of work in the mine at tbs
time the Nugget representative caller
but there is enough ore on the dunn
to keep the mill going for consid
cradle legnth of time without extract
ing any from the mine.
The mill is a six-foot Huntington
which has been found adaptable t
the ores of the camp and it has
capacity of forty tons day. Tn
building has been constructed with
view to installing second Hunting
ton when it is required.
When asked as to the time whel
the mine would again resume work
Superintendent j. l.. Weber said:
have nothing to do with the matte
and it will rest entirely with MI
Clark. Mr.. Clark is now in Gold
field and expect him to arrive /
camp any day. 1t is possible tha
when he comes he will have som
instructions for me-"

PoRARY GuARDHousE
Laxlty in Regulations Results in
Too Much Liquor Being
Struggled Into
Quarters

The four troops of the regular army
who win take up their march to Atas-
cadero this mornig entertained many
civilian visitors Monday and yesterday
at their camp in Agricultural park.
People from all parts of the city ana
from suburban points came in TO see
the regulars.
on the other hand the troopers have
secured quite a bit of entertainment
out of Los Angeles. The officers nave
relaxed discipline somewhat, taking
into consideration the change from the
solitary Arizona post to the multitude
of city allurements. Some of the men,
however, had too much of a good time,
and an improvised guard house at the
Agricultural park grand stand was a
necessity yesterday. A few soldiers
whose hearts were gladdened up q
notch or so too high were hauled up for
bringing too large quantity of liquor
into camp.
Most of the soldiers found it impossi-
Bile to realize the extent of territory
covered by Los Angeles. They found a
street car ride a deceptive proposition,
which landed them a long way from
Agricultural park before they realized
the time required to return. Several
squads tried walking to camp from the
business section, estimating the dis
tance as little more than a mile, and
five privates dropped off a University
car at Sixteenth street Monday night
to Join a comrade who told them they
could walk the remainder of the dis
tance in ten minutes.

GETS CONTRACT TO BUILD
CEMENT PLANT RAILROAD

W. N. Crandall is the successful bid
der for constructing the six miles of
railroad from the city's cement plant,
four miles east of Tehachapi, to the
mountain of limestone which will be
used in making the cement.
Crandall did not specify any partic-
ular price for doing the work, but his
offer was to construct the railroad for
cost plusy4 per cent. There were seven
bidders for the job, and all offered to
do the work for cost and a certain per-
centage, ranging all the way from the
A per cent offered by Crandall to is
per cent.
The work of constructing the rail-
road is to be done by the contractor,
but the city will furnish the materials.
The cost is figured on the basis of a
certain price to be paid for each team
and teamster and each laborer. The
per cent is the profit the contractor
will receive.
1t is estimated that the railroad will
cost about $4,000, but this amount in
cludes everything-the materials which
the city will furnish and on which the
contractor will not receive any bonus
and the labor on which the contractor
makes his profit.
There are certain features of the right
of way for this railroad which are not
yet satisfactory to the board of pub
lie works, and the contract will not
be signed until these matters are ad-
iusted,

DETERMINED TO SEND
HORNING TO PRISON
Companion of Sutherland Subjected
to Rigorous Sweating" in Order
That He May Incriminate
Himself

Because of insufficient evidence a
complaint charging Fred Horning, an
associate of Carl Sutherland, slayer of
Captain of Police Auble, with assault
with intent to kill Caesar Vervoort last
December was not issued by Deputy
District Attorney George Pearson yes
terday afternoon.
Although Horning was under rapid
fire examination for the greater part of
Yesterday afternoon and made a full
confession of his part in the affair, of
December 13, 1907, when Vervoort was
held up by mistake by Sutherland and
Horning and shot in the shoulder be-
cause the two men thought he was a
Japanese for whom they were waiting
to revenge themselves upon him for an
insult to an American girl, friend of
Horning's, no complaint was filed.
Vervoort was present during the
sweating" and although the circum-
stances of the affair were related by
the prisoner, Pearson decided that the
evidence against Horning was INSULT
cient and preferred to wait until a
number of other cases against him
could be investigated.
Detectives who are working on the
case say that they will have sufficient
evidence in a short time to make out
several cases against Horning.
81 do not wish to issue a complaint
against him charging him with a minor
offense when there are a number of
others in which he is said to have been
implicated that will, in the event he is
convicted, result in his receiving a pen
itentiary sentence" said Mr.. Pearson.

Prosecutor Says step Was Taken
Only After Long DelIberation and
Conferences with Members

The retrial of w p. McComas,
charged with the murder of Mrs. Char
lotte L. Noyes on February 2S last,
will not take place. Judge James yes
terday dismissing the case upon re-
quest of District Attorney Fredericks.
The case was set down for Septem-
ber q.
In asking for dismissal Captain
Fredericks said: II do this after long
and careful consideration of the case
and ON the recommendation of Mr..
Fleming and Mr.. Horton. who tried
the case, and after discussing the mat
ter with some of the members of the
jury, which stood ten for acquittal and
two for conviction, [ am satisfied that,
while another trial might result in a
hung jury, we could not expect q con-
victi0n.'
The expense to the county, he said,
would also be very great. McComas,
he continued, had on him physical
marks of acid and, while it was the
theory of the prosecution that he had
thrown the fluid on himself, that idea
had been abandoned.
Judge James in dismissing the case
said whether the woman had thrown
the acid or not would probably never
be known. Through his knowledge of
the case he believed conviction could
not be secured. The proceedings in
this case have already cost the county
about $5000
The shooting of Mrs. Noyes took
place in her apartments, 671 Little
street. on February 2S McComas' plea
was that of self-defense

OBRADOvICH HELD TO
ANSWER FOR MURDER
BOUND OVER TO APPEAR IN
SUPERIOR COURT
Principal Evidence Is Contained in
Dying Statement of Lee Forbes,
Killed at San Fernando
August %

After a brief preliminary eXamina-
ton George Obradovich, aged IL, was
bound over yesterday to the superior
court on the charge of numbering Lee
Forbes at San Fernando August ~.
No defense was offered.
The principal evidence against Obra-
dovich was contained in statement
made by Forbes while on his death
bed at the county hospital, in which
he related the circumstances leading
up to the shooting.
1--WE were wrestling" the statement
reads, "and I threw Obradovitch. That
was in the morning. After dinner L
was doing my work on the thresher
and saw him and another man scuf-
fling. In fun, told them to get out
of my way, and as l crawled over OBJ
radovich 1 dropped some oil on him.
This made him angry. When l came
back they were still lying on the ground
and 1 dropped more oil on him. He
abused me, and when 1 told him to
stop he kicked me in the stomach with
both feet. I accidentally hit him on
the head with the oil can. He was
very angry, and told him 1 was sorry
/ had hit him. He said 1t was all
right and that he would see me later.
"The next morning he said never a
word. He waited for me and delib-
erately shot me while was on top of
the separator. I was not looking at
him and thou 1T the trouble was over"
Obradovich is II years old.
