ROGERS LEASE AT GOLDrTELD
Is NOW ENDED

GOLDFIELD, July 11.-There will
be no let-up in the production of ore
from the Rogers Syndicate until the
last bucket is raised to the surface at
midnight. Then the life of one of the
most remarkable leases of the camp
will close. While high-grade was being
shipped from the Little Florence, Rog-
ers and his associates were working on
an adjoining block of ground. They
worked hard, but the elusive ore shoot
could not be found with the ease
with which they expected. Money be-
came scarce and it was hard to raise
funds to carry ON the work. Then a
half interest was sold to the Syndicate
investors, and the money derived from
this sale was about used up when the
ore shoot was discovered.
The ~lessees were anxious to see
what it would run, and the first lot,
containing less than five tons, netted
them a little better than 5000, which
looked big to those who had risked
their all in the mine. 1t was easy
sailing from that time, and carload
lots that went $3.50 a ton became com
mon, with high grade shipments run
ming dollars a pound sandwiched Ia.
The best ore was found in the inter
mediate drift between the 500 and
400-foot levels, but about as good is
in evidence in the upraise from the
drift extended from the 5OO-foot level
to a depth of 20 feet.
During the labor troubles the prop
erty was closed down, and various 9th
er reasons caused delays in working
the ground. 1t is estimated that FIVE
months will cover the time in when
ore was shipped, but in that brief
period the gross value of the product
was in the neighborhood of 5000, 900
from a total output of about 5000
tons. The first dividend was paid last
been distributed. When the final pay
ment is made, after all returns are re-
ceived, the total will reach $500, 900.
This is a remarkable showing, as it
represents a higher percentage of the
net earnings that have been distrib-
uted by any company in the camp,
and that in face of the fact that the
~lessees We're paying a fiat royalty of
25 per cent to the Florence Goldfel1
Mining company.

JEFrR1Es DEMANDS A
CHANGE OF VENUE

The attorneys for Jim Jeffries, for
mer heavyweight champion of the
world, have filed a motion in the SUI
perior court of Grass Valley to have
the case brought against their client
by Charles Stout and Charles J.. Miller
transferred. The suit was filed by
Stout & Miller On a note given by
Jeffries to settle the matter of So, 1000,
the result of a little crap game which
JEFF enjoyed while at Reno several
years ago. He bucked the tiger for
IN all-night session and when the
gray dawn liked over the distant hills
he discovered that he had not only
lost all his ready money but also was
to the bad about $4,000 represented by
markers. He gave a note for this
amount, "promising'' to pay at some
future date, but that time has appar-
emily never appeared ripe to the cham
pion. Miller & Stout demanded, JEFF
brought on the note in Nevada coun-
ty, but now the attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS have asked that it be trans
ferred to Los Angeles, the home Of the
former prize fighter.
Jeffries has given out two reasons
for his refusal to pay the note. He
says, first, that his wife has the family
funds and she refuses to allow him so
much money to pay a gambling debt;
second, that the game was crooked
and he was buncoed. Either or both

by the police from the possible results
of a delusion which he labored under
which might have cost him his life
in the turbulent waters of the rushing
Truckee.
Duffy became animated by a
''hunch' Saturday to the effect that
the bed of the river was lined with
gold nuggets. 1t required little in

and waded boldly in, commencing min
ing operations on a small but ener
getic scale.

man with mistaken ideas, and these

a couple of Indian bucks whose cloth.
ing was a negligible quantity, to wade
in after the enterprising miner. Duffy
was taken to the city Jail, lectured on
the futility of his golden hopes an
later released.-Reno Journal.
