ARE FIGHTING TERMINAL
RATES FOR THIS STATE

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.-The
announcement that the merchants of
Reno had applied to the interstate
commerce commission for terminal
rates has brought out the declaration
from the officers of the traffic bureau
of the Merchants exchange that the
traffic bureau will oppose the appli-
cation.
T. G, .Friedlander, secretary of the
bureau. said yesterday that should
Reno succeed in getting terminal
rates the commerce between this city
and Nevada would be killed.
At the present time merchants in
Nevada towns buying goods in the
east are compelled TO pay not only
the freight to their town. but to Sac
ramento, the western terminal point,
and then back again into Nevada,
when the freight never really goes to
Sacramento and back.
The local traffic bureau and the
merchants of Reno are preparing for
a hard fight. San Francisco wants
protection for it's merchants. and
has determined to make a desperate
fight. j1

TURQUOISE DIGINGs

OLD CRESCENT CAMP, Oct. 20.
The famous turquoise diggings are
to be worked again by Tiffany and
company of New York, who will take
out 500 pounds of the finest gems of
this kind in the world. The last
time the claims were opened, three
months ago. 800 pounds were ship
ped east. The gems are found In the
lime seams of quartz and porphyry
and near the surface. Below fifteen
feet the stones are softer and unde-
sirable.
The %dlscoverer, a miner named
Simmons, is said to have taken a
profit on 100000, but he did not
live to enjoy it. OAe day, some five
years ago, when he was driving out
of Barnwell with C. C. Smithsan, the
latter still a resident OF Old Crescent,
he was waylaid by a miner who
claimed to have been promised a
share of the Tiffany sale and killed
by a rifle shot. The gun mans claim
was considered just enough by such
law as the country then afforded tc
warrant his acquital.
AS the price Of turquoise now IL
is about 81 a carat of 4 grains, the
500 pound shipment will approximate
in value 81, 900, 00O.

the experience of Joe Ray, a Raw
hide miner, at the latter camp last

stated that he will entirely recover
from the effects of his fall to the
bottom of the shaft with the excep-
tion of a little stiffness in his right
arm which was broken by the fall.

death either by coming in contact
with sides of the shaft or by striking

sidered a miracle by physicians ant

killed and mashed to an |unrecogniz

THE DAISY SYNDICATE
GETS RICH ORE SHOOT

The lid was lifted OF the Daisy
syndicate yesterday for a represent
alive OF the Tribune. who was
anxious to learn something about the
ore in sight and probable production
Of the mine. Manager Mitchell and
superintendent Campbell acted as
guides. The examination disclosed a
splendid showing at the 300-foot
level that can not be questioned.
Here the dyke Of m~ineralized ore has
been crosscut fifty feet, and sixteen
feet OF the ore is pay. This vein has
been followed for a distance of 400
ies,. and the pay shoot has been
proven up for seventy-fve feet. With
ore in the breast, It was decided to
upraise To the old 2t0-foot level,
where some very good ore has been
taken out, but, owing to the dan
gerous condition Of the workings,
due to the swelling in the ground
work had to be stopped. This raise
is now up fifty feet from the drift
level, and connections will be made
before many days, as three Shifts are
engaged in the working. In this up
raise there is visible six feet of fine
boxing quartz, and a streak thres
inches wide along the footwall that
shows free gold. Assays were shown
on this streak of ore by Manager
Mitchell that went $500 a ton from
an average sample of the streak
Picked pieces OF the rock would run
dollars a pound.
This upraise will connect with the
upper level on the same ore shoot
At the 400-foot level the dyke ant
ore body are now being crosscut, ant
values are In evidence for a distance
Of twenty-three feet. Considerably
water has been found. and the cleo
tic pump Is kept busy for twelve
hours each day hosting at the rate o

A MURDER CASE
AT ROUND MOUNTAIN

Frank Ciscillini, an italian miner,
vas shot and killed Wednesday night
in Round Mountain. From the mea-
ger details received last night 1t
seems that Ciscillini and two others
were infatuated with two of
the half world and were eager to get
married. One of the girls had prom
Used to marry Ciscillini yesterday and
1t is thought that the other two par
ties became ware Of the approach
ing marriage, and Just prior to the
shooting the three men met in n
OF the houses of i'll fame and had
some words. They were informed by
the propiretress of the house that
no disturbance would be allowed in
side and the men left. Immediately
shots were heard and when the Of
fcials arrived the dead body Of Cis-
cillini and two empty pistols were
found. 1t is known that the dead
man had no gun and the finding of
the two guns implies that the the two
men must have done all the shooting.
The murdered man was struck in the
reck with a bullet and from the
downward course taken it is thought
chat when struck he was in a stoop-
ing position.
The two men who are alleged to
have done the shooting have not been
arrested. They are well known to
the officials, who state that they will
make no attempt to escape. Their
names were not given out for some
unknown reason.
Immediately upon receipt of tn,
news here, Assistant District Attor
ney Walter Cole left for RounC
Mountain to investigate the affair
and it is thought that he will return
this afternoon.

TAFT IS The NOMINEE
War Secretary
in Nomination
Mid Scenes of
Great Acclaim

i CHICAGO, June l8 For the
President Of the United States, VIII
liam H. Taft of Ohio. Taft nomi-
mated on the first ballot. Taft BY 702
votes Taft by unanimous choice 81
the convention. Such is the record
Of the eliminating day Of the Repub-
lican convention OF 1908, effected
/ amid scenes Of tumultuous enthus-
iasn and after the nerve raekin1
continuous session lasting nearly
eight hours. With the President
named and platform enunciated there
remains only the nomination of the
vice-president to complete the mo-
nentuous work.
Tonight the whole city is given
over to the wild exultation in honor
Of the new candidate whose name
goes echoing through the country.
! The picture within the walls Of the
vast amphitheatre, as the presidential
can lidatc was named was truly grand
in ma agnitude, In front, to the right
and left, above and below the bilIow-
ing sea of humanity, restless after
the seven hours Of waiting was in
fever for elimination. The favorite
sons Of the other states have been
named, save Knox and La Toilette
and now, on the roll call Ohio came.
As the buckeye state was reached
the tall gaunt form Of Theodore E.
Burton advanced to the platform to
nominate Ohio's candidate. He spoke
fevervently with the singing voice OF
an evangelist which went ringing
through the great building The close
Of his speech was the signal for the
great demonstration. Instantly the
Ohio delegates were on their feet
with the other Taft states following.
while.the convention hosts in the gal
lery and on the floor broke into the
mad demonstration. All the sem
blance of order was soon lost. Guid-
ers of the states were snatched up by
the Taft enthusiasts or were borne
under by the storm of disorder. The
band was inaudible and was mere
whisper amid the deafening volume
OF sound. For 10, l5-yes, 20 minutes
this uproar was continued. But there
is limit to the resources of the throat
and lung, and at last, the tired voices
died to hoarse shout and at last 1t
was subsidized. In the hull that follow
ed George A, Knight Of California
delivered the seconding speech and in
another lull which came as he con-
cluded, Knox and La Toilette were
placed in the nomination.
When the cheers following the
speech seconding La Toilette died
away, like cyclone from a clear sky,
another burst of the La Toilette dem
onstration which swept the conven-
ton from its very bearings. II was
the same deafening wave Of sound
that greeted Roosevelt, yesterday and
Taft little while before. 1t was in
tense and maddening ands with the
