J. r. RANDOLPH A SUICIDE.

Orange, N. j.. shoots Himself.

Treasurer of Edison Company at West
Orange, N. j., shoots Himself.
WEST ORANGE, N. j., Feb. 49,.
John f. Randolph, treasurer of the Ed
Ison Manufacturing company, of which
Thomas A. Edison is president, COM
mitted suicide In the cellar Of his resi-
dence on New Valley way by shooting
himself In the head. 1t is believed tn t
Mr.. Randolph was temporarily insane,
a. neither in his business nor his fam.
lily affairs was there any known cause
for such an act.
That Mrs. Randolph did not follow
her husband to death was due to the
prompt and determined action of MIR.
Edison. When he reached the house.
Mrs. Randolph was hysterical. She
was rushing through the house from
room to room. wringing her hands and
crying out that she would kill herself.
MIR. Edison followed Mrs Randolph to
the second floor and came upon her as
she was about to throw herself from a
second story window. He seized the
frenzled woman and after a hard
struggle succeeded in pulling her back
to place of safety.
Several letters left by Mr.. Randolph
showed the suicide to have been delb-
erately planned. In one which was ad-
dressed to Mrs. Randolph he assured
her that provision had been made
whereby all his property would go to
her. The letter declared that every
dollar Of which he was possessed had
been gained honestly and by hard
work. Among other letters was one
for Mr.. Edison aud also one for Mrs.
Edison. The contents Of these letters
were not made public.

ULLAINE REPORTS RICH STRIKE

One of the features of the week at
Ullaine, the new camp situated about
25 miles southeast of Nina, in the
Emma Bowler district, was the rich
gold strike made by G. F. Sieloff in his
No. 4 claim of the Herinosa group.
The strike was made while running
an open cut and a ledge fully five feet
in width was opened up. Four feet of
this ledge pans gold freely and carries
a product ranging from SIS to $50. The
remaining one foot of ore assays over
800 per ton.
The ledge stands almost perpen-
dicular between well defined walls and
as depth is reached holds it's width and
maintains the same high grade values
as at the surface. A perpendicular
shaft is being sunk on this bonanza
ledge and will be continued to water
level, where it is expected that the per-
marent ore zone will be entered and
an even higher grade product encoun-
tered.
In this ground are six claims. Claims
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-12-19

Nos. l, 2 and 3 are traversed by a ledge
that at surface shows a width of two
feet. This ledge shows gold in the free
and shows increased width and value as
depth is reached. A strong ledge runs
the length of the other three claims,
carrying values ranging from $15 to
over 800 in gold.
Enough developing has been done on
all of these claims. to show up the gvari
Gus lodges at nominal depth and a shaft
is being sunk to prove the 5-foot ledge
at water level.
Mr.. Sieloff is the discoverer of the
camp and is well versed in mining. He
for many years did expert work for the
Boston Mines company, a combination
of New York and Boston capitalists.
His work took him into South America,
Mexico and the mining states of the
west. During the week some hand-
some offers have been made for Uliaine
mining rea'ty and experts representing
eastern capital, are expected in camp
soon.

SEVEN TROUGHS DISTRICT NEWS

ore will be taken as fast as it can be
landed at the sampler. The ore will be
hauled one day, sampled the next, and
the money then paid to the owner. This
means much to the district. 1t means
ready. money for the leaser and the
mine owner. 1t means greater develop
ment, the employment of more labor,
the purchasing of more supplies; in fact
a putting of the money of the mines
into general circulation. 1t means the
making of the Seven Troughs district
to the exclusion of outside aid. 1t will
be the greatest advertisement to the
world of what we nave here, and it will
have the effect of hurrying the invest
ors into a camp where there is to be
had, not only the ore, but the facilities
for handling it, from the drifts and the
slopes to the manufacturing of it into
the almighty dollar. Nobody need go
any farther than this for an invest
ment; nobody will when he knows of it.
The outlook for the Seven Troughs
district could not be brighter, and the
early part of next year will see it one
of the most crowded and most pros
porous districts in the entire state. We
have the goods, the gold; all that is
necessary is to let the werld know of
it, and the world will come a-running

but one shift a day. There is plenty
of water coming from the mines alone
to operate the mills and more mills to
come, for the full twcnty-four hours
every day, and arrangements are now
being made to utilize the supply which,
otherwise, will go to waste. When this
is lone the mills will have a daily out
put of sixty tons. In the meantime a
Huntington mill is on the way to Ma
zuma, and the ten stamp mill under
construction by the London syndicate
is rapidly approaching completion.
BY the middle of January at the lat
est, we will have four mills operating
with a daily output of lis tons, and the
district has abundant ore with which
to keep all four plants busy. All that
will be necessary to ship from the camp
will be gold and silver bullion, and this
fact will place Seven Troughs in the
enviable position of converting into
cash everything that comes from the
mines.
Better still, the London mill is to
have a sampler, and will buy all the
available ore in the district. There are
millions behind the institution, and the

Discover Strange Mineral
One of the mining surprises of the
year has been the discovery of gold in
the Hachita mountains, New Mexico, a
section which up to nine months ago
was but little known and indifferently
regarded as a mining country. 1t was
in February last that the Clark broth
crs, who with their father, j. T. Clark,
had followed ranching and the cattle
business in hat section for a number of
years, discovered some placer gold, and
after patient prospecting located a min
eral ledge carrying some free gold and
a whitish metal of the nature of which
they were profoundly ignorant. Sam
pies of the ore were sent to Bisbee, III
Paso and other places to have tested
and the assay returns were in every in
stance encouraging, indicating good
values in gold, but the opinions of the
| chemists and experts as to what the
white mineral really was showed great
variance, and the question is in dispute

BLACK HOLE Is SHIPPING DAILY

The company continues to ship the
better class of ore to the railrorad,
while the second class is run through
the mill. There is sufficient of a good
milling grade in the slopes, bins and on
the dumps to keep the mill running con-
~tinuously for thirty days without the
extraction of another pound of ore for
that period.
Masons have been busily employed
for the past few days erecting the
foundation of the new Huntington

week, increasing the capacity Of the
mill to fifty tons. 1t is the intention
of the company to allow the leasers the
privilege of running some of their ores
