1t is curious thingthat a good axe
in the store nearly always has bad
grained handle in it. The only way
to do is to use the bad handle till it
breaks and then put in good one.
You can. of course, take the handle
out and give it away, if extra particu-
lar. To do this, take a brace and
small centre bit-one that just clears
the wedge in the axe eye; chop the
axe firmly down into a dry stump,
and bore out the wedge clean, then

choose the right grain, and one thin
rather than thick, all one color, and
that white or whitish yellow. If Of
fered one with dark and light colors
in it by the storekeeper throw it at
him, as the colors will separate when
worked, taking the different parts of
the handle with them.

RUDE Smith
PROVED TO Be
RANK GUTTER

The fight between RUDE Smith and
Larry Gordan, which was to have
taken place at Goldfield last night,
failed to come off. The men were to
weigh in at o'clock, but Smith
failed to show up. At the ringside
Gordon offered to give Smith four
pounds and at the latter's refusal to
weigh in he was conceded ten pounds.
He still refused and then Referee
James Kelly called the fight off.
When this announcement was made
there were cheers from the audience
for Gordon. Smith was Kissed and
many threats were made to run him
out of town. 1t is estimated that
Smith weighed at least 100 pounds,
while the required weight was to
have been 148 pounds, which Cor
don made with ease.

Venezuela to revoke the decree of
President Castro, issued on May IA,
prohibiting the transshipment of
goods for Venezuelan ports at Gu
racao. President Castro has refused
to revoke this decree, but as yet, so
far as is known here, the Neither
lands government has not decided
upon definite action.
Last evening the governor of Cura-
Gao received an important telegram
from Holland, and he Immediately
called a meeting of his council and
the commanders of the war ships.
Deliberations were lengthy, but the
result has not been made public. Peo-
pie of Curacao are confident that the
ships now here will soon be re-en-
forced by the battleship Hertog Hen
dirk from the East Indies and the
battleship De Reijter and the cruiser
Utrecht from Holland. The protect
ed cruiser Gelderland also is in these
waters

proposal made by President Castro
that he would treat with Holland

GOLDFIELD MILLS
F" INCREASE PRODUCT

That the mills of Goldfield will be
crushing 1000 tons of ore daily be-
ginning the first of the year is the
opinion of William Mcclure Got
waldt, who is in Reno from Goldfield
for a few days, says the Gazette.
Gotwaldt, by the way, is one of the
owners of the Gotwaldt lease, prop
erty that has the record for economi
cal work in Goldfield, making a
tremendous. showing for an expendi-
ture of something like $4,000. This
lease has a body of ore ranging in
value from $40 to SAB ton on the
315-foot level, is working a large
force of men. 1t is listed on the
Goldfield stock exchange. where it is
in active demand, large blocks of
shares changing hands daily.
Speaking of the mining outlook
Gotwaldt says:
The Consolidated mill will be
completed within forty days and will
handle about 600 tons of ore daily;
the Florence mill is about finished
and has a capacity of about $50 tons
day; the COLONIZATION plant is re-
ceiving it's finishing touches and will
handle about fifty tons day. In adj
dition the Nevada GOldfield reduction
plant has capacity at present Of
ninety tons day and the Combina
ton mill has about eighty-five tons

day. The Western Ore Purchasing
company is taking in the neighbor-
hood of $50 to 1000 tons a week.
When completed the Consolidated
mill will treat ore of an average
value of $40 ton.
II think the production of Cold
fields mines will be million dollars
a month after the first of the year.
At present it is much lower on ac-
count of lack of facilities for hand
ling the ore.
with the new mills charges for
treatment of ore are lowered and as
a result old dumps are being worked.
Immense bodies of low grade ore will
be extracted. This, with the fact
| that no labor troubles are in sight,
l'augurs we'll for the mining industry
in Goldfeld."
| Concerning business conditions
Gotwaldt says that there is slow
| but noted improvement, and that
right now conditions are more pros
porous than at any time since the
great activity of two years ago. Gold
field is family town; its -four
schools are crowded to the limit. He
expects that the town, including
North Goldfield, formerly called Co
lumbia, will cast 1890 votes. Got
; waldt will leave tonight to be home
in time to cast his vote with thu
! others of that 1900.
