Last Tuesday afternoon VIM. Wade, a
miner in the Mcconnell mine, was killed
by the falling of rocks on him while in a
drift at the 400-foot level.
Word was brought to town and Acting
Coroner Harmon empanelled jury con-
sisting of o. H. Some, w. F. Powers,
Steve O'Brien. ]. A. Jenkins, John
Sloan and M. c. Barker, who found a
verdict that the cause of death was "a
cave-in of earth and rock striking him
on the head and shoulders against a
chuck and truck, fracturing the skull,
while at work in drift in the McCon-
nell mine" County Physician Master
son had charge of the medical part of
the investigation.
VIM. Wade was over 81 years of age
and was born at Foxdale, Isle of Man.
He had been in this country number
of years, and everyone who knew him
speaks we'll of him. He leaves mother
and brother in the Isle of Man, three
sisters in Michigan and three brothers in
Nevada, Fred of Wabuska and Joe of
Goldheld. Tie whereabouts of Richard
are unknown.
He was a member of the Masonic
Order and was buried in the Yerington
cemetery under the auspices of the lodge
of that order here Thursday.

Oil Report
Yerington Oil and Gas Company, Yer
ington, Nevada.

Yerington Oil and Gas Company, Yer
ington, Nevada.
Gentlemen: At your request l visited
your locations nine miles southeast of
Wabuska on the 14th of September, 1908.
After going over the ground very care
fully l have no hesitancy in advising you
that as an oil prospect, it is probably the
most legitimate one in the State of Ne
vada. / find that the formations are
distinctively oil bearing and not broken
up. An analysis of the various shales
discloses the fact that they are the true
oil bearing measures. Several that
have examined shows that these oils
when found, will be of an ashphaltic
base. Taking in general contour of
the basin, which l amagine will contain
upwards of 10000 acres, l am of the
opinion that your locations embrace the
cream of the territory. The general dip
of the oil bearing sands and shales, all
indicate drainage toward your locations.
In following out what considered to be
the we'll defined rim of the basin, at
point where the Walker river apparently
cuts it, had the pleasure of finding
small gas seepage. While not extensive,
it serves as an illustration of what prob
ably exists deep, when one considers the
pressure necessary to bring gas to the
.,x
In view of what have just said, my
opinion is that no exorbitant depth of
boring will be required. From all indi-
cations you should penetrate the oil cap
passing into the sands at something like
1000 feet.
In your recent letter to me you ask
my reasons for saying that this is le-
gitimate proposition, to which answer:
First, that Walker lake being only about
zoo feet lower than your locations, pre-
sents body of water to the south with
we'll defined walls acting effectually as
dam; second, that see no evidence of
recent volcanic activity, which exists in
many OF the examined oil fields of Ne
vada
You are probably aware that in many
localities in Nevada that there has existed
oil in vast quantities, but from peculiar
geological changes the measures have
either been broken or cut up by water
courses, thus allowing the oils to escape.
In and about you locations see no evil
dence of this, therefore, as said above, l
consider the proposition legitimate one,
and has business chance, have no hes
itancy i'll recommending that YOU sink a
we'll somewhere within the immediate
locality of the point suggested to you
Yours very truly,
H. G. GOULD, Ph. d.

The action of the city council in pass
ing the ordinance granting a franchise
to f. w. Fairbanks and associates at
their meeting Tuesday assures water
works system for Yerington.
Mr.. Fairbanks and the men with him
are alive and already have several thou
sands of dollars worth of material for
the plant on the ground.
This is a great step toward a big
growth for our city.

Mountain View and Granite


Mountain View and Granite are among
the producing camps of Nevada. 1t is
safe to say that more ore of good milling
grade and more money is today being
taken out of the ground per capita than
in any other camp in the State.
The Wilson Gold Mines company has
started winze from the main adit tun-
mel under the stope, los feet from the
surface and us feet from the mouth of
the tunnel. This winze has the last
week been sunk Is feet down between
the walls of the ledge, following an open
fissure about IS inches wide, which ter
minated in a chamber of unknown
length and over sixth feet wide filled to
an unknown depth with soft decomposed
ore of the same character as heretofore
milled at Nordyke. The development
of this huge chamber is being watched
with deep interest by the owners and
they expect in the near future to again
begin hauling ore to Nordyke for reduc-
ton at the company plant at that place.
The bullion produced by anlaigamation
ton, and the returns from the same
showed bullion value to the gold from
the Mountain View mines to be $3.50
per ounce. The amount remaining in
tailings awaiting extraction by cyanide
process is approximately $40 per ton,
showing an approximate mill value of
the ore as broken from the mine to be
$40 per ton, which is very remarkable
when one remembers that no sorting or
grading has been done, and that all the
ledge, from two to FIVE feet wide, has
been mllled just as broken.
Times are hard ands blues prevalent,
but it made one feel better to look into
the window of the Lyon County bank
last week and see the three slugs of re-
torted bullion, representing $1,000, on
exhibition there, and know that it came
from place only IL miles from Yering-
people. and that this exhibition of bull
lion will be followed by other shipments
from the same mines indefinitely.
Great interest, in Mountain View, is
being taken in the new leases on the
Big -Four ground, lately consolidated by
Messrs. Beach, Beatty, George Wilson
and John MCGOWAN. This ground was
somewhat in conflict and so remained
practically unprospected until settlement
of the disputes by consolidation was
effected last summer, when leasers ini-
mediately went to work on the ground
and are now producing good ore from
large lodges. In one place they have
four feet of ore, which they expect to
have milled at Schurz in the new
Ranker- Truett mill there.
Mrs. Mingle. who bought the Brown
Finlyson lease on the Big 20 at Granite,
has large lot of ore screened and ready
for shipment to Schurz.
The other leases on the Big 20 are all
working on ore of varying grade.
The Big Cross tunnel on the Golden
Age ground in Granite is being pressed
ahead with great vigor by Emerson.
Vaughn and others, and it is expected
will cut the ledge about the 1st of No
vember at an estimated depth of ESQ
feet. The length of the bore will be
about 420 feet. 1t is now in over $50
feet.

Cubans Capable of Self Government,
According to Magoon.

CubanS Capable OF Self-Government,
According to Magoon.
Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 25. Charles
f. Magoon, provisional governor of
Cuba, talked with Mr.. Taft today re-
garding conditions in Cuba.
That the people of Cuba are qualified
for self government is the positive
assertion of Governor Magoon. The
Cuban people, he indicated, are heart
lily in favor of government ownership
Of public utilities. They now own the
telegraph lines and the test of the pop
ular will, which has just been made on
the question Of private concessions for
telephone lines, he believes has demon
strated their desire for government
ownership. The test referred to was
made at the suggestion of President
Roosevelt, and consisted in the submits
sion TO the 82 provinces of. the draft of
a law which, if approved and enacted,
would have resulted, according TO Gov
ernor Magoon, in the telephone BUSH
ness of the island going into the hands
of the present Havana Telephone COM
pany. The concession of this company
expires in 1910, whereupon the tele-
phone lines and plant of the company
in that city will revert to the Cuban
government.

WORST IN YEARS.
Railroad Companies Furnish Men to
Fight Fires.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 21.-A
heavy pail of smoke caused by ap-
preaching forest fires hangs over this
city, the air is oppressive and there are
no signs of it clearing. The fires now
burning in Vancouver's vicinity are
the worst known in 10 years. They
are now dangerously near the city, and
are still burning fiercely. The Cana
dian Pacific and British Columbia Elec-
trio railways have large bodies of men
out on the Lulu island line fighting the
flames.
The fires are consuming hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of valuable
standing timber, leaving hundreds OF
acres Of land with nothing but black
ened snags. The worst fires are in the
Squamish valley, and on Bowen island,
but the blazes at Point Grey and in the
Capilane valley are likely to prove
very troublesome The civic water
works property is said to be ,eatened
by the fire and force of men has been
sent out to check the flames.
The fire has got into the big timber
of some exceedingly valuable limits,
and it was reported at Squamish land
ing today that it was racing through
the forest, and would, unless rain
came soon, cause thousands of dollars
of loss.
The forest fires that threatened
Nanaimo and Ladysmith are we'll under
control today. Much valuable timber
has been destroyed, but no houses have
fallen prey to the flames. The old
workings Of the Extension mine were
Quilted by the fire. The telegraph line
along the E. & N. is burned down.

EVANS RETIRES.
Admiral Leaves the Service After 4e
Years on Duty.

ears pH DutI.
Lake Mohonk, N. Y, Aug. 19.-Far
from grim warships and the sea where
he spent nearly half century in the
service of his country, Rear Admiral
Robley D. Evans, U. S. NJ, who is at
this quiet mountain hotel, yesterday
reached the age limit of 62 years and
passed from the ranks of the country's
active sea fighters. His has been the
longest service (but two years short of
half a century, of any man who has
reached the rank of rear admiral in the
United States navy. All through the
day the hotel was thronged with ad-
mirers of Fighting Bob," anxious to
congratulate him on his 62nd birthday
and to wish him many more happy and
useful years. kilograms by the score
reached him from all parts of the coun-
try, all expressing fluctuations and
affection for the man who had done so
much to build up the American navy.
Many of the messages brought delight
ed smiles to the admiral's face, while
others brought just suspicion of mois-
ture to his eyes. The telegram in par
ticular which caused Fighting Bob"
many smiles came from an old friend
In Washington and said:
For some of US, skipper, your flag
will always fly"

Cottage Grove Local Goes Into Ditch
Near Eugene.

~oHt ~t6<'~@
Eugene, Or, Aug. 26.-Firemar
Frank Boulter and three unknown
tramps were killed, Engineer Jack
Nichols was fatally injured, and six
passengers were badly hurt in wreck
of the southbound Cottage Grove local
shortly after o'clock Sunday night,
four miles north of this city.
When two miles north of Irving,
the engine, going at schedule speed,
struck COW, which was on the track,
and turned TURTLE landing in the ditch.
The baggage cars and passenger coach
es, pushing the tender ahead Of them,
continued on the ties for rs feet until
the baggage car climbed on top Of the
tender and stood on end. The impact
hurled three Of the passenger coaches
from the track, only the last two re-
naming on the rails.
The wreck, from the standpoint of
destruction to rolling stock, Is one of
the worst in recent years in the South
ern Pacific in Oregon. The engine
and tender are pile of scrap iron.
The rails and ties are torn up for a dis
lance Of 70 feet, while the passenger
coaches and baggage car lie on their
sides in the ditch. The cow which
tried to cross the track and caused the
wreck was cut completely in two.

of the numerous international difficult
ties with Venezuela, and the action of
Holland probably will open way"

LAW SET ASIDE.
Australia Allows American Marines to
Rarade With Arms.

Sydney, N. S. W., Aug. 21.-There
arose circumstance in connection
with the parade of American bluejack-
cts and marines in Sydney which at
one time promised to make it impossi-
BILE for the carrying out of the pro-
gram as originally planned, but the
matter was adjusted and the men
marched in accordance with expecta-
tions.
Imperial regulations forbid the land
ing of armed men in Australia. This
fact was communicated to Admiral
Sperry, who in turn informed the gov
eminent that he would not allow his
men to participate in the procession
and reviews unless they came ashore
armed. This was followed by a con-
ference between Admiral Sperry and
the commonwealth government, after
which it was announced that the gov
eminent had granted permission for
the American sailors and marines to
land armed, but without ammunition.
This provision was accepted by the
American commander.

regiments to take trains for theil
homes TO-DAY.

General Scott, General Foster and Gen.
eral Wells" explained Governor De-
neen last night.
"Does that mean that you consider
all danger of serious trouble past?''
he was asked.
ut means that we can properly guard
the city with the troops which will re-
main. There will still be the Second
and Seventh regiments under General
Foster in the Western division, and the
Third and Fifth under General Wells.
The departure Of the First and Fourth
will lessen our forces by about 1000
men, leaving a good 2, 900 here"
Major General Young said:
1.-The mob element has had lesson,
and the way citizens with knowledge
of riotous misdeeds are responding to
the appeal for information on which to
base indictments will furnish further
instruction to the violently inclined.
We are getting news on which we will
be able to make many arrests of i'm
portance, and these arrssts will render
the situation much easier to handle.
With the ringleaders behind the bars,
there will be little for the military to
do"
There were the usual baseless alarms
last night, but up to midnight nothing
of serious character had occurred.
