FALLS FROM
HIGH TRAPEZE

This afternoon, about $3.50 o'clock.
Trix McHale, the high wire artist
at the fair grounds, came near los
ing his life. He was performing on
the high trapeze when suddenly the
wind came up, dust was blown into
eyes. he lost his balance and fell to
the ground some forty feet below,
falling into a group of carriages.
The three Thousand people in the
grand stand were Mortified at the
awful spectacle McHale was picked
up in an unconscious condition. He
was examined by physicians and it
vas found that he was seriously but
not dangerously injured. He was
brought to the city and physicians
are still with him. That McHale was
not killed outright is a marvel. He
is badly bruised and cut and the
shock was terrific. If no internal
injuries develop he will recover. He
is in the care of DR.. Egeness.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE is
IMPROVING PUBLIC SPIRIT

The purpose of the luncheon is to cul-
tivate bonds of closer union among the
business men of Goldfeld, and the di-
rectors of the chamber have wisely de-
cided that the best way to bring about
this result is ia appeal to their self in
terest. Recognizing this fact the com
mittee have selected a speaker who
will have some information to give out
on a subject that strikes every resident
of Goldfeld in his pocketbook, imme-
diately or remotely.
According to the statement OF one
of the local insurance agents the aglta
ton of the Chamber of Commerce foi
a reduction of fire insurance premiums
will bear fruit very shortly. This agent
informed the committee that the under
writers of San Francisco, representing
all the companies doing business here,
assured him on his last visit to that
citv that their board had decided to
grant the reductions asked for by the
Goldfield business men.
This will mean a saving of thousands
of dollars year to the property own
ers of the city, and besides it will have
the effect of charging the list OF I'M
movements brought under insurance
protection.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-05-23

Under the momentum of success
which has crowned the efforts of the
Gold6eld Chamber of Commerce in the
past few weeks the organization is
reaching out for more abuses to subdue.
The individual members of the board
of directors of the chamber have made
possible the purchase of lot and the
construction of building for fire sta
ton that will be credit to the city.
The building will be of stone of archi-
tectural design conforming to the ap-
earance of the court house.
The success of the chamber in this
one work alone is complete answer to
the charge that Goldfeld is lacking in
public spirit. All that was needed to
awaken the sentiment was little ae-
ton and the Chamber of Commerce pro-
vided the inspiration.
An innovation of the chamber that is
looked forward to with great deal OF
interest is the weekly midday lunch
cons the first of which will be given at
the Hotel Casey next Wednesday. AT
this little informal spread short busi-
ness talk will be given by a we'll
known resident on subject of great
interest to the community.

HORNSILVER
PROPERTY
Macmillan .HolIeran Co. Acquires
Control Of Forty Acres Ad-
joining Great Western
COmpany's Ground

One of the most important deals re-
Gently consummated in this district was
the purchase this week of the control
of the Hornsilver Mining company by
the Macmillan Holleran company. The
estate is in the Lime Point, now known
as Hornsilver district, and comprises
forty acres, which adjoins the territory
of the Great Western Mining company
No data is given out regarding the
consideration. but il is common knowl-
edge that two months ago $4,000 was
refused for controlling interest in the
property.
The estate is already a shipper, the
ore sent out averaging $3.50 to the ton.
Surface showings are about the best in
the district.
A working shaft is already down
eighty feet, sinking between two
lodges, which will be crosscut from the
100 level.
Seven leases are already operating
on the estate. j. II. Macmillan has
been elected president of the company;
Charles Howard, vice president; Chas.
o Daniel, secretary and treasurer, and
Geo. b. Holleran and w. II. Richards,
additional directors. A hoist is on the
ground and development will be forced
ahead at rapid strides.

(From Our Own Representatives.
Hornsilver, May 21.-The camp is
only six weeks old and already it con-
tains between 240 and $50 tents and
frame houses. From ten to twelve
structures are being erected daily. Lum-
ber and other building materials are
snapped up as fast as they are brought
in.
Elmer Chute and his men are now sur
veying the water line between here and
Mt. Magruder. They expect to COM
pletc their work by the 23d.
Developments in the Great Western
are proving more satisfactory than was
expected. On the 200-foot level the
drift has been sent thirty-fve feet east
in continuous ore shoot, showing bro.
mides and chlorides, the same ore as
was showing in the winze and on the
100foot level.
Within the next few days the drift
will reach point beneath the winze
where an upraise will be started and
air connection gained, as well as
large body of ore blocked out.
Superintendent James Russell is also
drifting west and expects to encounter
what is known as tho west ore shoot
within the next fifty or sixty feet. Near
the surface this lens gave $460 acress

STATE BANK
RECEIVER IS
APPOINTED
Judge Langan Names Deputy
State Treasurer Frank Wildes
to Take Charge of the
Defunct Institution

Monday Judge Langan, in a session
of the district court heard the demurrer
to the appointment of receiver in the
case of the State Bank and Trust com.
pany, which suspended last October.
The judge announced that he would ap-
point receiver at the afternoon session
of the court. At the afternoon session
Frank Wildes, deputy state treasurer,
was appointed by the judge to fill the
position of receiver for the bank.
1t is believed that eventually the
bank will be able to pay 80 cents on the
dollar. Many attempts have been made
to reopen the institution, but wrangling
among the directors and stockholders
has prevented any action that might
have righted the matter. All of the di-
rectors and a number of the officials of
the defunct bank are under indictment
on charge of embezzlement. =
Wildes is not related to President
Hickey, though he has been very close
to the president during the present
troubles of the bank. He is brother
in-law of James Kincaid of Virginia,
New, is reported to be heavy de-
positor in the bank and has been very
close to state officials. The news of his
appointment came as rude surprise to
many of the depositors here.

HORNSILV YER DEVELOPMENTS
ARE PROVING SATISFACTORY

There are now eleven sets of leases
on Great Western ground and all are
obtaining most fattering results. Out
side of Great Western territory there
are fifteen sets of leasers operating in
the camp.
The Silver King Mining company's
estate is located northwest of the Great
Western and is south of the original
Hornsilver townsite. The territory in-
cludes the Deyling and Red Top claims.
This company has reserved 500 feet on
the west end Of the Dcyling claim for
company work and already has q well
timbered double compartment shaft
down forty feet. Twenty feet of por-
phyritic quartz has been encountered
in this shaft. 1t averages $16.40 in
gold and $l.50 silver. The Silver King
ground is gridironed with strong lodges,
all of which show good values on the
surface. This property is pronounced,
for it's development, to be one of the
biggest milling propositions in Esmer-
aida county.
The partially completed pipe line
survey shows that enough water can
be brought in from one set of springs
under a 600-foot head to supply the
town and furnish fifty stamp mill.
All the ground on the Silver King,
except that reserved for company
operations is already under lease.

Three leases are being actively oper-

miners in all.
A crosscut is being run cast from the
500 foot station of the Golconda Leas-

assays as high as $500.

a crosscut is being run from the 4lS-
foot station. 1t is now in about nifty
five feet. Several small stringers,
which yield low assays, have been cut.
The No. Keelyn on the Polaverde

vein which assays $3.50.

SINKING TO GREAT DEPTH
ON MOUNTAIN CROWN LEASE

Consolidated has extended the lease Is
months from May l.
Mining engineers who have carefully
examined the ground are confident that
the Rustler has the ore bodies. How
ever, the formation is such that they
will probably be found only at con-
siderable depth. Recent developments
in Florence leases also tend to prove
that the vein system passes through
the Rustler which lies directly to the
south. This has been further con-
firmed by the discovery of the psy
shoot in the Florence Extension. At
any rate the leasing companies are
showing their faith by doing and plan
ming greater development than has yet
been undertaken in the camp.
