new TREASURE
IN The FLORENCE

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 9.-The richest
discovery on the Goldfield Florence
ground since the famous Engineers
lease, was uncovered in the adjoining
block of ground to the east, formerly
known as the Daisy Florence, and
now the property of the Mitchell
Fairfield Development company, last
Sunday
A sample of the stuff shown last
night one and half inches long by
one inch wide and a quarter of an
inch thick, resembled the famous Co
bait silver ore, except that it was
gold and worth at least 100000 per
ton. The pure metal was simply
plastered on the quartz as if a piece
of gold mortar had been slapped
there with trowel.
There is metal in the rock that to
the naked eye looks like pure gold
The seam, about a quarter of an inch
in width, is not necessary to assay, as
there is by far more gold than
quartz. When tested by fire sonar
ately from the. choice pieces, this
statement is borne out.
Another glory hole has been open
ed up, and as the lease has until the
middle of April to run, an immense
amount of gold will be taken out in
that time. The former leasers from
Chicago must have spent $150,O0O on
the ground without getting any re-
turns.

RARE METAL
IS DISCOVERED
AT CUPRITE

A discovery has just been made at
Cuprite which, If the deposits are
found upon development to be of
permanent character, will place that
district in the forefront of American
mining centers. On the group of
claims owned by California people,
less than two miles west of the town
of Cuprite, are vast outcroppings, for
width of several hundred feet, of
what was always believed to be iron,
and pioneers of the district have fig
ured upon eventually finding a mar
ket for that metal, says the Goldfield
Chronicle
1t now develops that this mineral
carries high percentage of titanium,
an exceedingly valuable metal which
occurs in conjunction with oxide of
iron and which is employed in the
hardening of steel and from which
titanic acid is produced, the latter
having a commercial value of $239
per pound. Samples sent to San
Francisco by Ellsworth .Oldt, who
has known of the deposit for the last
four years, were subjected to the
most exhaustive tests, requiring ten
days to secure the results.
The samples were analysed in the
laboratory of one of the largest ore
purchasing concerns in the west and
three check analyses were secured
from other chemists and assayers of
repute. AS result of these tests
the samples were found to carry an
average of $245.9O in titanium and
$50 in gold The analysis also
showed the presence of trace of
uraH %, metal associated with
pitchDlende and one of the most cost
ly known. There was present also 60
per cent of oxide of iron, 20 per cent
of silica and per cent of moisture.
In an effort to pan this rock it was
discovered that after the material
had been ground in a mortar it failed
to respond to a magnet, sure indi4
cation that the mineral was not iron,
or iron of the character usually en-
countered In South America de-
posits of titanium are being worked
at profit which yield but fraction
of / per cent in the mineral The
rock sent to the coast for analysis
was a grab sample taken from the
cropping two feet above the earth's
surface and its content of the rare
metal is about 8 " per cent.
Expert mineralogists declare that
it is probable rich seams of the min
eral will be encountered at no great
depth which may run as high as 20
per cent in the metal. The ore buy
ing concern which conducted the ex-
periments and returned the figures
quoted declares that it will pay 70
cents per pound for ore of this char
acter which samples 20 per cent in
titanium. The metal is of eight and
one-half times the value of tungsten

GOLDFIELD Man
WAS KILLED AT
GOLCONDA Mine

William Lindquist, well known
about Goldfield, and for some time
employed on moist on the Golconda
mining claim, either committed sui
eide or was accidentally killed by a
pistol shot about O'Clock Saturday
morning in his cabin. Lindquist had
spent the night, prior to 2 O'Clock in
dissipation, being accompanied about
town by his roommate, Harry Falk.
When the pair reached their home
Lindquist was well under the infiu-
ence of LIQUOR and could hardly
stand. Just before the fatal shot was
discharged, as stated by Falk, Lind
quist was leaning over his cot ex-
aminircS the contents of suit case.
Falk' tack was turned when he
heard his roommate slip and then
came the report of pistol. 1t is
presumed that he picked up the pis-
tol. which is an automatic, from the
suit case, and while examining 1t.
fell face downward on the bed. the
weapon being discharged during the
fall. The bullet entered LindQuist's
left side just above the heart. Lind
Quist was about 20 years OF age and

New York Society Leader Donates
Rara Avis Collection to Museum

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-Mrs. Frank
K. Sturgis, known in society here and
in Lenox, intends the gift of collec-
ton of rare and beautiful birds of
paradise, which she has just presented
to the American Museum of Natural
History, as a first aid for dislocated
millinery morals.
She is a member of the museum ana
also a leading spirit in the Audubon
society, which is pledged to prevent
the slaughter of birds for the purpose
of hat adornment.
Several of the rarer birds cost 500
each, and there is not one Of the seven
ty specimens which is not of high in
trinsic worth as we'll as Of scientific
value.
These birds are found only In New
Guinea and in a few islets off its coast.
and despite their limited number they
are hunted remorselessly by "plumers"
employed by the wholesale milliners.
The plumage of the male birds attalns
It's dazzling beauty in the mating sea-
son, and the killing therefore is caus-
ing the species to disappear. England
has recently passed a law. which goes
into effect January 1, 1909, forbidding
the further Importation of the plumage
Of such birds into the United Kingdom.

ORDERS LOBBY CLEARED
BEFORE READING REPORT

Seeming excitement, Judge D. X.
Trask made a strategic move as soon
as the committee on credentials came
into the hall.
He ordered the Hobbies cleared by the
sergeants-at-arms asked that all lack
ing proper credentials leave the dele
gates seats, and advised them to ma
room In the gallery.
Stories that the machine element
meant to pack the hall had been clrcu-
lated freely, and the chair took judicial
notice of the rumor.
What are you afraid Off" said At
torney Earl Rogers, who later took up
the cudgels for Delegates Tom savage,
Eddie Morris, A. e. Weiss and Peter
F'roehlich, whose expulsion for party
disloyalty was recommended by the
committee. Mr.. Rogers occupied front
seat and spoke frequently.
Chairman Trask announced Ernest
M. Mckenzie, w. F. Earhart, c. l..
Murphy, Jos. Margolis, Y. G. Fuentes,
N. H. Sutton and o. Hudson as SER
geants-at-arms. Later R. G. Doyle, OF
odylic force fame, was added to the
list, The chairman also ordered two
sergeants-at-arms detailed at the doors
to keep intruders out.
Isidore Dockweiler tried to have the
body adjourn till o'clock as soon as he
observed the hall being cleared, but an
Attorney J. Marion Brooks, in gray
| suit and red vest, objected to the lobby
clearance. Clamor cut off his remarks.
Chairman Burke said the committee
| had striVen to do its work as Bryan
and Jefferson would have done it.
An effort to adjourn at this time was
squelched.
Henry Mcdonald of the credentials
committee, who had been selected to
read the report by his colleagues, then
did so.
From Credentials Committee
The salient points in the credential
report were:
That the list Of delegates prepared by
tho board Of supervisors and published be
declared official.
THAT in precinct 175 j. j. Clayton be
denied seat, as he registered as Re-
publican.
That E. G. Morris, A. e. Weiss and Peter
Fr0ehlich be stricken for party disioyalty,
because while serving on the vacancy COM
mittee in 1906 they put s. T. Eldridge's
name on the Democratic ballot. Eldrtdge
| is "a machine Republican.
That Thomas Vacher and John 8. Allen
of precinct 1877 be stricken from the list
for party dsloyalty, because, in 1906, In
the Seventy first assembly district, they
permitted the nomination of p. A. stanton,
a machine Republican.
That Thomas #. Savage's name be strick-
en- out for wrongful registration In the
Eighth ward, the directory and others Civ
ing his address as 221 West Third street,
and that e. 1. Hutchinson be seated In
stead.
"It seems to me-" said Chairman
Burke, that no delegate could expect
any other report than ours, taking into
consideration the conditions that have
paralyzed the party. In matters con-
corning the vitality of our organization
we could have done nothing else. We
must disenthrall decent Democracy.
We must show that we practice, not
profess. We have got to extend a well
come to the thousands of Democrats
who have been driven into retirement
by such practices. 1 move the adoption
of the report"
