BIG COPPER PROPOSITION

John Donlen was at G~ardnerville
from his Lone Star copper mine a few
days ago and is as enthusiastic as ever
over his property. He is at present
driving a tunnel on the 200-foot level
with a view of tapping the main ledge.
About 200 feet of bore has thus far
been completed, with 100 feet more to
run before the main point is reached.
$50 far, she's all in ore'' said Mr..
Donlen, "and is just as / predicted,
one of the biggest bodies of copper ore
ever discovered

BovARD ATTRACTS INTEREST

Signs are becoming manifest of a re-
newal of mining interest in the Bovard
district, located about 25 miles south
west of Rawhide. During the past few
weeks the section has been filing up
with prospectors, leasers and prospec-
tive purchasers of mine acreage, with
the result that it is decidedly probable
Bovard is to enjoy a prolonged season
of prosperity; a prosperity which is un-
questionably warranted by the mineral
showing there.

The 1,200-foot level of the Yellow
Jacket mine is now being opened by the
present management for the first time.
From the 1,100-foot level to the 1900

feet in depth by $50 in length, which is
virgin ground, with the exception of
some little work done at the north of
the mine, where a Wine was sunk in
the vein from the 1,100-foot level to the
l ,300-foot level, which showed much low
grade ore with gold values predominant
ing.

c11rronD p1srR1cr WILL BOOM

John J. Hall and j. J.. Cochrane were
arrivals in Tonopah from Golden Arrow
a few days ago and both gentlemen are
very enthusiastic over the showing that
is being made in that camp, and report
that more work is now going on than
for many months. This activity is not
confined to Golden Arrow, but the near
by camps of Bellehelen, Horseshoe and
Silver Bow are feeling the effects of re-
newed vigor. Several properties in
these camps are fast developing into
mines, and the several owners and leas-
ers are very much encouraged over the
showing made. The recent sale of the
Clifford group, involving the sum of
$3.50, 900, means much for this section
of the country.

MILL GIVES SATISFACTION

The Virginia Chronicle says: The
new mill of the Selby company at
Jumbo, is giving perfect satisfaction.
It is running on low grade ore, but in
a few days high grade ore will be
treated and the first cleanup will be a
large one. On all sides there is cyl
dence of a great revival, and it is freely
predicted that in a few months Jumbo
will be the banner new camp of the
state.

He has already invested to the extent of

behind him to install an automatic

BONANZA STRIKE AT NATIONAL

Bringing with him samples which are
almost pure gold to verify his state
ments, s. w. Gundaker brought to
Winnemucca several days ago the news
of a bonanza strike at National, which,
at the present writing, seems to be
without a parallel in the history of the
state. The term ''lousy with gold"
would be a poor one to use in describing
the samples which Mr.. Gundaker dis
played. And he had a small valise full
of them and easily worth in the neigh
borhood of $1,000. The rich stuff was
broken on both the Combination and
Harvey leases on Charleston hill.

IN COURT
IS YEARS

By the filing of complaint in
the superior court a suit is revived
that has been in the courts of
Spokane county for the last 16
years. The case has been tried
three times and has been up to
the supreme court once. In the
latest action c. M. Rombrough
asks that a judgment taken by
him against Gerow Rooms and
wife some years ago be revived
and that certain conveyances of
real estate made by the defendants
to one Kate Koofer be set aside
for the reason alleged that the
said transfers were made for the
purpose of defrauding the plain
tiff. Rombrough's present claim
amounts to $1,666.60.
In the former litigation the
plaintiff says he was given a
judgment and tried to recover
from the defendants on numerous
executions but could get nothing.
About the time his judgment ex-
pired he was not as energetic as
he might have been in getting it
renewed, because Of his failure up
to that time to collect anything,
so the judgment was permitted to
lapse. He afterward tried to have
it revived but the defendants de-
feated the effort. He now claims
to have evidence that the pay
ment of the various executions
issued by him was defeated by
fraud and that because of said
frauds he is entitled to recover.

BELIEVES HE'S
BEEN bUNC0ED

John Crehan of Michel, B. c., al
leges a species of bunco game by
Spokane people in a civil action be:
gun yesterday in the superior
court. He tackled the alleged
game for $3.50 in hard cash, besides
incidental expenses greater than
this amount, and asks judgment
for $59770. The defendants in the
case are E. H. Hutchinson, Mrs. H.
T. Epler and T. Van Norman, who
operated, it is charged, under the
title of the Century Co., Limited,
with Offices in room COL Hyde build
ing, Spokane Hutchinson says he
merely allowed the company to use
his name.
In answer to an advertisement in
the SpokesmanReview, in which
the defendants offered to give posi-
tons paying 500 per month to re-
sponsible men who would take
stock in the company, Graham
came TO spokane. lie was dlned at
the Hotel Spokane by Van Nor
man, he alleges, and then conduct
ed into the presence of Mrs. Epler,
the other defendant, who was rich
ly dressed and held forth in one
of the best rooms in the hotel.
After this show of opulence, Cra-
han invested $500 with the COM
pany, of which he paid $3.50 cash
and gave a mortgage on his prop
erty for the other $3.50. He says
he worked one month, but failed to
collect the 500 per previously
agree upon; that he has since
learned that the company is a
fraudulent one, hence his demand
for the return of his money.

MARK SPOKANE
To Win
FOOTBALL EXPERTS LOOK TO
SPOKANE TO GIVE SALT
LAKE DECISIVE DEFEAT ON
ACCOUNT OF SUPERIOR
WEIGHT OF HOME TEAM.

One of the largest football
crowds which ever assembled at
Recreation park this afternoon is
watching the struggle between
Spokane, represented by the south
central high school team, and the
team from the Salt Lake high
school There is little doubt as to
the outcome in the minds of ex-
perts Spokane is the heavier.
Salt Lake men are light and their
much talked of speed will hardly
avail them against the Spokane
team. which not only is fast but
heavy, and generally outclasses
the Salt Lakers. The Mormon team
has had several games this year,
but not against such strong teams
as Spokane went against in Lin
coin and Broadway high schools of
Seattle. Coach Kennedy is conf
dent that Spokane will win. Coach
McNeice is confident Salt Lake
will win. 1t is this sentiment
which makes the game interesting.
The lightness of the visitors makes
it incumbent upon them to utilize
all their speed, for in straight
bucking they cannot hope to gain
anything against the Spokane
team, which outweighs them about
20 pounds to the man.

CAP TAIN DIES At
POST IN
FLAMES

' MALTA, Nov. 26.-As near DIS
can be ascertained today not less
than 100 people lost their lives in
the burning of the steamer Sar-
DINA in sight of the harbor here
yesterday. The origin of the fire
is not known, but is believed to
have been caused by the explosion
of tank of naphtha.
Captain Charles Tittler persisted
in the flames, having stayed at the
wheel and directed the vessel
abeach as long as the engines
would work. Many of the crew,
including three engineers, are
among the missing.
About 70 bodies have been recov-
cred from the sea, and as many
more people were rescued in tugs.
TIL passengers were made up of
II first class and six scond class
passengers, with 200 Arabs in the
hold. The greater per cent of ia
talities is among the Arabs, who
refused to jump into the sea when
commanded to do so.

ORDERS WIFE
INTO COURT

When Mrs. Andrew Larson did
not appear in the municipal court
yesterday afternoon to prosecute a
charge of threatening to kill
against her husband, Justice Mann
issued a bench warrant for her ar
rest. 1t has been learned she was
sick in bed. Larson is a brother
of the late Peter Larson, one of
the wealthiest mining men in the
west. He was recently arrested
on a charge of beating his wife
and threatening to kill her and
also on statutory offense in
which a woman named Hazel
Peterson is named.
The case, if tried, will probably
develop a sensation. E. o. Con-
nor, Mr.. Larson's attorney, claims
the woman is endeavoring to get
money from her husband. She is
his second wife.

SMALL BOY SAVES LIVES
OF TWO MEN

PLAYA DEL REY, Nov. 26.--
Without any warning, 40 feet of
the long fishing pier at this beach
resort collapsed and John Cole,
proprietor of the Clarendon hotel,
Santa Monica, and B. Beach of
Santa Monica, who were fishing at
the end of the pier, were precipi-
tated into the ocean.
Had 1t not been for the heroism
Of Louis Moline, age Is, son of an
employe of the Beach Land Co.,
both men would have been drown
ed. He succeeded in launching a
small yawl in the lagoon and in
driving it through the breakers to
the rescue of the drowning men.
