The group bought by the Tonopah
people comprise the Nevada King
claim; Nevada King No. l and Ne
vada King No. 2. The Nevada King
endlines the Royal Coachman and
sidelines the famous Royal claim, on
which is the Stinson lease, recently
sold for $25,00O. and from which
they are taking ore for the full
width of five feet, going S3S6.26.
Nevada King No. joins the Nc
Mahon group, where there is a tun-
mel in for distance of 20S feet, with
seven feet of ore going $50 to the
ton. The ore here is identical with
that of the Jumbo of Goldfield when
that property was at depth of 70
or 80 feet. Nevada King No. l lies
between the other two claims.
There has been only little work
done on the property" said Mr..
Jameson, but there are a number
of people clamoring for lease. On
that Mcmahon property, there is the
incest looking quartz that anyone
ever saw, from wall to wall, with a
tale slip between the ledge matter
and the country rock.
A. j. Aylesworth and F. B. Ross
passed through here yesterday on
their way from Rawhide to Goldfield.
They bought the Lucky Boy claim
for $4,000, and also bought lot for
$500. on which it is proposed to
put up theater. In the purchase
of the Lucky Boy, Volney Leonard,
the banker of Rawhide and Wonder
is interested, and will be the presi-
dent of the company to be incorpor-
ated. Mr. Aylesworth will be the
vice-president.

dali when he obtained an ASSAY
which returned something like $1,000
ton. They are selling town lots
on this property, which are rapidly
changing hands.
"A more enthusiastic lot of peo-
pie / never saw, even in. the palm
lest days sof Manhattan. The show
ings are phenomenal and everybody
seems confident that it is going to
make a great camp. There is an
other thing that looks good to us,
and that is that you can hardly walk
a step without meeting somebody
from Tonopah, who is interested in
the camp in one way or another.
There are crowds of people going in
there every day, and the majority of
these have money for investment
Mr.. Pittman was engaged in the
defense of Mr. Mcguire, a gentleman
who shot Mr.. Waters, another gentle
man, through both legs. Mr.. Pitt
man was associated in this case with
F. A. Stevens, formerly of Tonopah.
Both lawyers also defended Stephen
White, another gentleman, who hit
his lady in the face with the muzzle
of gun, and threatened to kill her.
Mr.. White was fined $50 and costs,
which presumably was paid by the
lady.

ASSERT
REPUBLIC
IS NEAR
REPUBLICAN LEADERS In POR-
TUGAL SAY ONLY MATTER
OF MONTHS.
(By Associated Press. }

LISBON, Feb. s. Republican
leaders today are in extremely high
spirits. They assert confidently that
the republic is now but a matter of
months, not years. The Associated
Press secured today an opinion on
the situation and an outline of the
republican plan of campaign from
perhaps the most competent spokes-
man of the party. This man said:
The end of the monarchy is near
1t will come as unexpectedly as did
the murder of the king and crown
prince. We are convinced the revo-
luton will be peaceful one. There
is republican organization in every
town, doctors, lawyers, even village
priests, sending in notices of their
adherents by the score, and there are
avowed republican officers in the
army. King Manuel is a well inten-
toned boy. He starts his regime
with fair words and the restoration
OF political liberty, but it is inevi-
table that he should fall into the
hands of the manipulators of the two
old parties whose bankruptcy was
proclaimed by King Carlos and by
Premier Franco. In the change that
is to come, | do not think a shot
will be fired. We will make the
change in the regime an open issue
in the coming campaign. We will
demand that the monarchy which
dragged down Portugal into the
mire of political and financial bank
ruptcy, abdicate to the people. They
dare not try repression again-they
can only surrender"
Lisbon for the past week has re-
sembled an armed camp at night,
with cavalry massed in the public
squares, pickets patrolling the streets
heavily armed, and soldiers guard
ing the state bank night and day.
The financial situation is viewed
with great alarm. The country is
staggering under it's foreign debt,
and commerce is almost paralyzed
by the fluctuations in the gold prem
ium. The country's general situa-
tion is grave rather than alarming,
and it is hard to forecast what the
future will be- The immediate dan
ger in the situation comes from the
fact that the police are baffed and
that the government is unable to as
certain the extent of the ramifica-
tions of conspiracies which have been
indicated during the last fortnight
by the discovery in various places of
bombs, arms and ammunition. There
is not the slightest question that the
plot is only half completed. The
murder of the entire royal family
was the scheme of the conspirators.

LONDON, Feb S.-The Associate

CALLS
R|CKEY
A LIAR
KIRMAN DOES NOT MINCE HId
WORDS IN TALKING OF
BANKER.

CARSON CITY, New, Feb. S.-A|
special to the Goldfield Tribune says
that T. B. Hickey allowed prominent
Nevadans, who are creditors, to
withdraw their accounts just before
the meeting Wednesday, when he re-
signed as president; that the former
head of the financial syndicate, in
the words of Dick Kirman, lis too
wise to be seriously affected by Grim
inal prosecution, and that the retired
millionaire will still unofficially di-
rect the policy of his misdirected in
stitution.'
These were the developments Fri
day in the affairs of the suspended
State bank.
The sickness of Governor Sparks,
according to Attorney General Stod-
dard, has prevented meeting of
the State Bank Commission. Until
the commission meets, probably the
government authorities will make no
move to indict Rickey for misappro-
priation of funds entrusted to his
care
However, it is generally believed
that Hickey will be called to Tono-
pah the first of next week, and dis
appointed claimants against other
branches will require him to answer
for his conduct
1t is conceded in Carson City that
Hickey knew his Offer to back the
bank with $1,0OO,O0O in securi-
ties" was blind for the patient pub
lie. 1t is asserted that Hickey knew
the stockholders would not agree to
this, when provision was attached
that term payments of accounts
would alone be permitted in the
event that business was resumed
So Rickey's resignation, it is
agreed, was decided beforehand, and
was the millionaire's carefully plan
ned way of shirking responsibility
for the future of the bank.
In an interview given out last
night. the former president of the
State bank denied that Richard Kir-
man, president of the Farmers and
Merchants National Bank of Reno,
had ever offered to buy the institu-
ton. To this, Kirman answered to-
day:
"Rickey is liar. | did in
tend to buy his bank, but i'm
vestigated its condition and
found it rotten. Now that
Hickey has retired, 1 will do all
in my power to help the syndi-
cate pay the thousands of de-
pOsitors who have been robbed
by poor management
Kirman was asked if it were true
that Hickey had acted, as rule,
without the consent of the directors
of his branch banks He replied:
Almost any of the directors will tell
you that the former head of the
State bank did not consult his direc-
tors when he wanted to carry out
his policy. Therefore, many of the
contracts made by the corporation
are void, and many of the accounts
paid creditors since the suspension,
last October, may have to be return
ed should receiver be appointed

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

A couple of years ago the Tribune
tried the experiment of attaching an
express tag to a dollar requesting
that every person into whose hands
this dollar fell, register the time OF
to report to the Tribune office occas-
day and date upon the tag, and also
ionally in order that it might be as
certained how fast a dollar travelled
in the ordinary round of business.
For a little while telephone calls
were so numerous that it kept one
person busy good part of the time
until somebody Of saving turn of
mind, dropped dollar, tag and all
into his jeans and kept 1t.
The experiment, however, lasted
long enough with that particular dol
lar to show how fast money circu-

A GLANCE AT THE TICKET

When the office seeks the man
unless he is to be used as corpo-
ration tool or the exponent of some
other private graft. you get the best
man for the office. For several
years the office has been seeking
the man in the democratic party in
Weld county, and the result has been
generally that some OF the broadest
and strongest men in the county have
gone on the democratic tickets.
This is no less true of the ticket
nominated at Thursdays convention
than it has been in former years.
The Tribune people are not person.
ally acquainted with everyone of the
candidates, as the county is big and
there are many people in it, but we
will vouch for those we do know,
and as for the rest, we hope to be-
come better acquainted before many
days or weeks have passed.
Beginning with the candidate for
sheriff, S. s. Poe, of Ault. He has
had plenty of experience, having been
sheriff in Jefferson county and also
United States deputy marshal under

,srae, for four years. There is no
discount on his ability.
7 J. powney. of Windsor has the
high respect and good will OF ms
townsmen and everybody else where
ever he is known. His talk given
to the convention rang true. III maze
county Judge he will, no doubt De
fair to everyone.
The ability of c. d. Page as sur
yeyor is, of course. beyond question
We are not we'll acquainted with
the two candidates for county COM
missioners, Chris Nelson, of Eaton
and T. l.. James, of Kersey, but that
is probably our loss.
But coming to the legislative
ticket, with w. l.. Clayton for seha-
tor. George NJ. Houston and A. H.
Morrison for representatives We are
at home. Those two men, clayton
and Houston can have the last lnch
of space in the Tribune to advance
choir candidacy. We want them
both. because we know them as men
and their betters are not found in
Weld county. The man Morrison is
from Johnstown. and we have not
the pleasure OF his personal acqualn'
tance, but he is .ure. cieah
looking business ma that shouid
stack up we'll with two running
mates. Here is to m, also.
Lafayette Rye candidate to'

to us. He is clean cut, intelligent
Young school man who will be heard
from as an educator.
T, A. Lewis. of Platteville for as
SCISSOR is also .. X. He has been in
business there for many years and Is
a business man through and through.
No candidates have as yet been
named for the offices OF county clerk
and county treasurer. but couple OF
strong men are also being considered
for those places. and before the cam
paign is we'll under way these two
vacancies will likely be filled.

There is way, however. that you
can retire permanently from any

that YOU will treat in that way Tha'
is to send it out of town, to mail

are not manufactured here. You
will have to send lots Of dollars out
of town through the local merchants
for goods that must necessarily De

great many pieces OF coin at home

goods. Is it worth while? Are YOU
patriotic enough to buy a. good goo"s

thus keep the money circulating
here, or do you want to make your
living here and do your best TO de-
plete the local treasury!

MOVING IN RIGHT DIRECTION

The city council has commenced
on a campaign of cleaning up some
of the unsightly things along the
business streets 1t is something the
Tribune has been advocating for
some time, and for which it has been
jumped on more than once. So far
as we can see, there is no particular
advantage to any merchant in having
style of advertising sign in front
of his store that must be an eyeSore
to himself as we'll as to his neighbors.
Many of these signs are certainly not
things of beauty, and as certainly
they have never been joy to any
body. There is a style of advertising
sign-or several styles-that may
add to the attractiveness of store,
but there is no reason why even these
should be placed at the outer edge
of the sidewalk. When all are treat
ed alike it cannot possibly hurt busi-
ness for anyone.
We have seen how much it i'm
proved the looks of Main street to
have the old, out of line. and crooked
wooden hitching posts replaced with
nice steel posts, and the same idea
should be carried out all over the
city. For instance, there is a row
of old posts and signs on Eighth
avenue that should be removed or re-
placed with something better
This should also be done at once. In
less than two months we are going
to have one of the biggest gatherings
here in years, in the grand lodge Of
Odd Fellows, and it could be made 6
ten strike" to have all these changes
made before that time.
We want the Odd Fellows to gt
away from here with the very bes
impression possible of the city ant
its people. Some active work II
being done toward cleaning up thu
city thoroughly in the residence sec
tions. Why not carry this movemen
into the business streets, and cleal
posts that mar the attractiveness o
the business streets as truly as d.
the weeds the residence streets? w
cannot see where it will be any hard
ship to the merchants to have thei
business surroundings more attract
i've, can you?
II shouldn't he necessary to issu
orders for these improvement
through the city marshal. Ever
business man should take that wor
upon himself voluntarily, just as 8
many residents are taking it upo
themselves to make their home SUI
roundings more beautiful.
Hurrah, for a general clean up G
the entire city.
