The question debated was, Resolved,
That armed intervention is not justifi-
able On the part Of any nation to col
lect, for private individuals, financial
claims against any American nation"
The affirmative of this question was
supported by team from the Gamma
Sigma Literary society, Talmage At
hnson. Ernest Titus and Dewitte Lee.
The W. G. L. S. team, Willis Goldsmith,
o. E. Blenkarn and E. S. Selle upheld
the negative. Two of the judges gave
favorable decision to the affirmative,
one voted it to the negative. Both
teams were strong ana the result is an
exceptionally strong team to debate this
question with Baker. Two Of the team
were members of the team which de-
feated K. U. in debate last year, Erwin
Selle and Ernest Titus. The other
member, Talrnage Atkinson, was a
member of the team which met defeat
at the hands Of Baker two years ago.
Erwin S. Selle who was awarded first
place last night will lead the team and
make the rebuttal speech.
Mr.. Selle, who was president Of the
senior class last term, Is a strong
scholar, leader of the Y. M. G. A.

William Lacey, 15-year-old boy who
was being returned to the reform school
at Topeka after having violated his parole
escaped from the sheriff of Geary county

in the capture of the escaped prisoner
about six miles south of St. Marys. To-
day McGovern brought the boy to the re-

CAMP ROCKEFELLER HAS
A PROMISING FUTURE
Especial Correspondence.)


Judge Williams of Goldfeld, an ex-
pcrienced man in western mining
camps, visited Camp Rockefeller this
week and highly approves of the forma-
ton, as well as the quality and quantity
of work done.
The mineral deposits seem to radiate
from extinct geysers and c%raters, four
teen in number. In topography, nature
of country rock and other conditions.
Judge Williams pronounces Rockefeller
similar to certain rich districts in Aus
tralia which he has visited.
At a depth of eighty feet the prop
erty owned by a number of Slavonians
has encountered ore which experts pro-
nounce to be telluride. They have a
ledge four feet in width. Similar ore
was encountered at a depth of $50 feet
in Knott & Thompson IS shaft. This
firm owns the largest acreage in the
district.
Adolph Neaher, who has several
claims at the White Elephant, leaves
Goldfeld today with a full equipment
of mining supplies for work near the
Knott 4 Thompson mine. He will work
gained, then expects to work three
shifts in the shaft and will sink to the
depth of 200 feet before prosecuting.
j. H. Kelley is running a tunnel near
the property of the Bailey Bros. and
fully expects to ENCOUNTERED the same
lode as the Bailey boys have struck
which assays sos in gold and silver.
The workings on the Coeking's prop
erty are progressing finely. Four men
are working and are gaining about five
feet per day. The shaft is now near
ing the 35-foot mark. Rock which as
saws SIS has been encountered, but is
a small ledge. Nothing of a high value
is expected until the 100-foot level is
reached, when prosecuting will be
done. California parties have taken an
interest in the nine claims and will de-
velop them rapidly.
The shaft of j. H. Scott and company
of the Double Triangle is looking bet
ter every hour, having just struck a
| rood quartz vein 40 inches wide. While
it has not yet been tested, it looks as
good as $50 to $50 to the ton. Manager
Scott is highly elated and declares he
will be in the shipping class early next
month. His shaft is now down l45 feet.

J. WALTER GEDDES WILL
LOCATE IN THE EAST

The contract of G. Walter Geddes
with the Goldfeld Daisy Mining Syndi-
cate, to act as general manager Of the
eompany's properties, expired Wednes-
dry of this week by limitation of time
and Mr.. Geddes will leave at once for
New York City, where he will open an
Office at l65 Broadway. His family are
now in the east.
Mr.. Geddes has resided eighteen
months in Goldfield, during a portion of
which time he was general superin-
t,ndent for the Goltlield Consolidated
Mires company. He las established a
splendid reputation ~ a mine maker
and geologist. 1t IS possible that Mr..
Geddes will take charge of properties
in Ontario, either 81 Cobalt or Sudberg,
the latter BE- ne the greatest nickel
camp in the world.

HORNSILvER MINES ARE
CERTAINLY MAKING GOoE.

Everything seems to keep going in
the usual progressive manner in the
Great Western mine. Ore extraction
and shipments by wagon have been
maintained. The high power freighting
automobile has made its appearance,
and will be tried for it's capacity to get
over the road to Cuprite with ten tons
of ore. Should it prove a success it
win result in quite a saving to the
company in transporting ore.
The main shaft is being steadily
pushed for the 300-foot level, and with
good progress.
Silver King Mine
Crosscutting both to the north and
south is progressing on the 200-level.
The stringer cut last week in the south
crosscut did not seem to amount to
much, and no time was lost on it. Both
crosscuts will have quite a distance to
90 yet before reaching either; possibly
some blind lead may be tapped and
prove a lucky strike.
Frances Lime Point
On the Lime Point property near
Hornsilver the Frances Lime Point
Mining company is conducting opera
tions which are attracting widespread
interest in that section and several
shipments of good ore have already
been made to Goldfield samplers which
have returned a fair profit. Manager
p. l.. Duffy is in Goldfeld on business
connected with the mine and believes
the concern will prove a decided sue
cess.
Unlike the Great Western vein, the
formation on the Lime Point carries
values almost entirely in gold. The
great, highly mineralized lead upon
which this work is being done shows
a width in places Of twenty feet and
has beer opened on the surface for a
distance of 1000 feet. At a depth of
forty feet the vein is fully twenty feet
wide and carries excellent values. An
incline shaft has been sunk on the main
east and west lead and has been in ore
all the way down to the l00-foot level.
At this depth a drift has been run to
the east, toward the intersection of an
other vein which was opened up forty
days ago by Mr.. Duffy, and which, at a
depth of but ten feet gives splendid
paintings of gold.
While the main lead dips TO the
south, the cross fssure, meeting it on
a diagonal course, dips to the north
and at the junction of the two, both of
which carry ore of shipping value, it is
thought that a fine body of rich ore
will be encountered. If these hopes are
justified when the objective point is
reached a vertical shoft will be sunk
near the point of contact of the two
veins and the gasoline hoist and plant,
now on the ground, viii be installed mt
! once.-Hornsilver Herald.
