FALSE REPORTS BY
MANY MINING CONCERNS
State Bullion Cole ctor Haley Says
Mine Owners of the State Have
~'alsified their Reports
Proceedings Pending.

James F. Haley, state bullion tax
collector of Nevada. has filed with
Acting Governor Diekerson a report
showing that the mines of Nevada
have in the past six months produced
more than 2,009, 900 and that out
of this amount the state has received
in bullion tax only $45,519.65. AS
a result of this Acting Governor
D. S. Dickerson has brought to the
attention of the attorney general the
fact that all of the mines are not
paying to the state all the taxes they
should and has instructed him to
notify all district attorneys in the
state to force all mines to pay to the
state the amount of taxes they should
pay according to law.
He has also instructed the attor-
ney general TO close up alleged lot
teries now being operated in Esmer-
aida county, according to the report
of the state bullion tax collector. and
to see that all gambling resorts in
the state pay their just proportion OF
taxes. He has further ordered that
the attorney general investigate GER
tain alleged prizefights that have
been held in the state as amateur
events, when in fact they were pro-
fessional bouts and subject to a If
! cense.
Mr.. Haley's report is very complete
and in it he tells of the condition OF
every county in the state. 1t is the
most thorough report ever filed by
a state bullion tax collector in Ne
vada, and by it Mr.. Haley shows that
he is doing a great deal of good in
the state and that he is performing
his duties in a very thorough and
capable manner.
Mr.. Haley states that he is unable
to say Just what action Acting Gov
ernor Dickerson has taken in regarC
to his report, but it is understood
that the acting governor vii! carr,
out all Of Mr.. Haley's recommends
tons.
The attorney general is at work o.
his recommendations in regard +
Mr.. Haley's report and that if 1t /
found on investigation that any falls
reports have been rendered to tn
state by mining companies, prosecu
tions will follow.

+. Y. WILLIAMS HAS GONE
TO HIS ETERNAL REST
Prominent and HonOred Citizen OF
Tonopah Dies on the Train.

Prominent and HonOred Citizen OF
Tonopah Dies on the Train.
f. Y. Williams, manager of the
Lathrop-Davis company and trea-
surer and secretary of the Southern
Nevada Consolidated Telephone and
Telegraph company, passed to the
eternal rest last evening while en-
route to Sacramento. A fortnight
ago Mr.. Williams suffered a stroke Of
~apoplexy and since that time his con-
ditiion had failed to improve. His
physicians decided that the only
chance to save his life was to take
him to a lower altitude On Tuesday
morning he left for Sacramento, ac-
companied by Mrs. Williams and his
two sons. When the train reached
Wabuska he was in a sinking condi-.
tion and he passed away Just as the
train was pulling into Hazen. The
body will be taken to Sacramento,
where interment will take place.
Mr.. Williams was born July rs,
1853, in Virginia, Placer county, Cal
ifornia. In 1871 he moved to Sacra-
mento and accepted a position as
bookkeeper in the Peoples bank Of
that city. In 1873 he resigned this
position to accept a higher n in the
Capital bank. which position he held
until 1891, when he entered the en-
ploy of Hall, Luhrs and company,
wholesale grocers. On account of
his integrity and ability he was soon
promoted to the position of conf
Dental bookkeeper, which place he
filled until 1903, when he came to
Tonopah to accept the management
of the Lothrop Davis company.
He was a quiet. unassuming
gentleman, and one of Tonopah's
most enterprising and public-spirited
citizens. There was never a call for
charity that he did not respond to
literally, and his generous acts,
which were many, are known to
none save himself. He was fore
most In all movements that were for
the betterment of the community in
which he lived. and no person in need
of succor had to ask twice.

WANTS A LEASE
WANTS A LEASE
AT SILVER BOW
Fastener F~avorably Impressed With
That District and HIS $4,000
to Spend-Rieh Shipment
Recently Made. =.

Silver Bow, fifty miles to the
southeast of Tonopah, is looking up,
according to F. NJ. Dorothy, who
came in from that camp yesterday.
He states that much development
work is being done there and that a
number of eastern capitalists have
been there looking over the proper
ties. They all say that some of the
finest assays they have seen in any
Of the Nevada districts are secured
from workings in that section. One
eastern gentleman, who has been in
yestigating the Jennie K, better
known as the Shotgun claim, has
applied for an option on the property,
agreeing to spend $4,000 in develop
ment work on the property If given
the lease. 1t is understood that the
lease will be given and the develop
ment work soon started.
The Sweet boys have just shipped
a carload of ore from their lease on
the Silver Bow Belle to the Western
Ore Purchasing company at Gold
field, and Mr.. Doherty says the ore
will run something like $3.50 to the
ton. That's ore. The boys have just
been sorting their dump, and from
it have stacked up an mormon pile
of ore which will run better than
800 per ton. With the construction
of the Clarke smelter road from
Ely across in this direction, the Sill
yer Bow, Clifford, Golden Arrow and
Bellehelen properties will be given
shipping facilities which will enable
them to handle much ore which is toe
low grade to haul, and yet which
contains rich values. And it is not
improbable that the influx of eastern,
ers into that territory. all looking fol
good investments, will result in the
erection Of a mill somewhere in thai
district which can handle all the low
grade ore at a good profit. Ey thu
way, IL that railroad is bull; It viii
probably cut through the Cold Rec
townsite.

DOING IN
THE CLIFFORD DISTRICT


E. S. Chafey, the principal owner and
who started the camp is an old
friend of mine and he has shown
marked ability in the way he has
handled the affairs and the property
there. He has a wonderful showing
and 1t has been proved enough to
guarantee a long and fine life for the
camp. Mr.. Chafey is backed by
strong California capital. The veins
of the camp are opened up for sew
eral thousand feet and the contact is
between porphyry and lime walls. All
the veins are clearly defined, carry
ing free milling gold. A large force
of men are employed doing strictly
development work. They have a
small mill with a capacity OF thirty
FIVE tons daily and are making thor
ough mill tests as they proceed. All
ore milled is extracted by the de-
velopment work and they are prepar-
ing to erect a larger mill. At present
the mill is more than paying ex-
penses.
I'm the camp OF National / met
bmany old-time Tonopah people and
all are confident that the camp will
be a big producer. They have strong
showings and the veins seem to be
getting stronger and better defined
with depth. They are taking out
some phenomenally rich ore and dur
ing my stay there a small shipment
was made Of high grade that was
valued at 800 a pound, All the
properties are doing development
work and several are running tun-
nels so as to tap the vein at a greater
depth. Considerable eastern capital
is interested in the camp and after
the election is over 1t is my opinion
that both these two camps and will
jump into the limelight by their re-
markable showings."

GOLD REEF TO MAKE

ground level at the Big Chief is some
$50 feet lower than the level of the
other claims, and here the rock is
materially different. 1t is more near
~ a true quartz, filled with chloride
of gold, and with some silver values,
which seem to increase with depth.
This is a sulphide ore, and it is the
opinion of engineers that this is more
nearly the true character of the ore
which will be found in the Gold Reef
properties as they reach depth.
Some of the local railway people
are working a claim called the Will
son mine in the Nevada Belle group
at the far side of the district, They
are working In nine feet of ore which
shows a value of $43.S7 clear across
the vein. Thirteen men of the Tono-
pah and Goldfeld engineering and
construction force are developing
this property.
Clear across the Gold Reef district
from east to west, the writer crossed
a series of porphyry and quartz
dykes, running north and south, and
with quite a number of cross lodges.
The dykes are well defined, and with
a pick it was little trouble to find
specimens showing free gold or iron
sulphides which should be rich in
gold content. Going back toward the
north boundary of the district its
volcanic origin is plainly visible, for
there are beds of decomposed lava,
and hills of solid lava and rock,
which at some period in the history
of the earth's formation have been
forced upward by some great internal
eruption. Certain it is that the whole
territory is highly mineralized, traces
of iron, copper, silver and gold
abundant.

winter and the next spring the entire
district will be thoroughly prospect
ed and the lodges laid bare.
Five companies are either now or
ganized or are in progress of organi-
cation in the east to develop the dis
trict. 1t is represented that the de-
velopment of the district will cost
money, as it is a low grade camp, and
shafts must be sunk to a reasonable
depth to get the values and the ore
bodies of extent. The camp is not
being exploited as a high grade prop
osition at all, and yet we learn that
mining experts who have carefully
gone over the ground state it as Their
belief that with depth, bodies of ore
