CLAIM JUMPERS
ARE DEPORTED

CHAFEY, Oct. 12-The appear
ance of a company of miners in two
wagons, bristling with Winchester
rifles and resembling a small moving
fortress, created considerable stir on
the streets of Chafey. AS the wagons
drove through the town it was dis
covered that two men who were tax
ing part in the proceedings seemed
not to be enjoying the ride. 1t was
learned within a few minutes that
the miners and p%rospectors of Barber
canyon were engaged in the gentle
art of deporting some offensive claim
jumpers and the facts of the case as
given by the miners are substantially
as follows:
Bert Stewart, acting for J. j. Coll
of Lovelock, jumped some claims in
Barber canyon on which the assess
ment work had been regularly done.
The notified Stewart that it
was their ground, regularly recorded
and that the work had been done for
three years past. Stewart and Coll
remarked that the claims looked
good to them and they thought they
would keep them. After a notice of
trespass had been posted warning
them to keep off, they announced
their determination to stay with the
ground and fight it out in the courts.
AS this sort of proceedings endang-
cred the rights of every man in the
district, the claim owners organized
themselves and a force representing
every claim in the section, armed as
above stated, went on the claims.
seized Stewart and Coll and took
them to Mill City. Arriving there,
they were requested to take the first
passenger train leaving Mill City and
not to return before January Is next.

A ROTTEN SHOW
AT THE PAVILION

There was a show at the pavilion
Sunday night. That is, 1t was an
alleged show-one of those one
horse, %one-night fakirs that come nm
heralded and depart unwept. They
were the only u~p-to-date, patent an
piled for, none genuine without orr
signature psychic wonders in the en-
tire world-that is, according to the
handbills they distributed around the
city, and strange to relate those
handbills were printed in Reno, for
they could not afford to have their
printing done in the cities where they
ask the public to. witness their great
grand, glorious demonstration that Is
instructive as well as entertaining.
The medium pulled off a few of
those old shop-worn stunts such as
telling what her assistant had in his
hand and making ghosts appear (the
ghosts were unable to appear, so sent
regrets) and the cabinet trick thai
every travelling magician considers
too ancient to even do in the most
rural districts. Taken all in all, they
were bum and the next place in which
they condescend to tarry and instruct
the people in the mysteries Of the lost
art and show them how to dig up
Willie's grave and exhibit his spirit.

MONEY RAISED FOR A
SHELTER AT CARSON CITY

RENO, Oct. 14.-Bills of exchange
amounting to 500, 900 are now on
the way from Montreal to Carson
City for the purchase of a smelter
site by the Western Shelters corpor-
alton, according to advices received
by G. w. Clapp, the organizer of the
company, from ]. A. Yerington, its
president, who has been handling the
eastern end of the financial affairs OF
the company.
This sum not only assures the pur-
chase of the site, but will make the
initial payments on other properties
which the smelter company will ac-
quire and which It has under option.
The offices of the corporation will
be opened at once in Carson City
where a suitable building has been
offered the company by Mr.. Yering-
ton. Work of clearing up the site
will be begun at once and the first
unit Of the smelter will be put in
operation within six months, accord
ing to the expectations of the COM
pany.
1t is the intention of the incorpor-
ators to add further units as soon as
the first is running to its full capac-
ity, which owners of mines in sight Of
the railroad insure the company will
be Immediately. The plans as first
drawn will provide for a 1900 ton
plant and the arrangement of the
buildings will be such that further
units can be added as the tonnage
grows.
Not only lead and copper, but zinc
will be treated and the news that Ne
vada at last will have an outlet for
this metal will send prospectors sour
rying through the hills seeking fur
ther deposits.
In treating copper. the benefits of
the smelter to Reno and surrounding
territory can not yet be estimated.
The entire state will profit, since
there are many low grade copper de-
posits within 100 miles of Reno that
at present car not be worked on ac-
count of prohibitive freight charges.
From visits to the various mines
within twenty miles of Reno ore has
been found in sight that will give the
smelter 1000 tons a day from the
start for an indefinite period. Al
though the huge deposits at Yering-
ton are forty miles from the site OF
the smelter, these also will be tribu-
tary to it and add to the output In
remarkable degree. With the com
pletion of the first unit of this smell
ter. the copper era of the country
surrounding Reno may be said to
have begun.

GREAT PROSPECTS
OUT AT CLIFFORD

I. j.. Common, of Clifford, came to
town yesterday and will go back to
the Clifford camp today. He states
that things are looking fine there,
and that Clifford is to be one of the
best camps in southern Nevada. The
owners of the main Clifford group of
properties have made arrangements
for active work in developing their
properties, and the big gasoline hoist
which has been shipped to them will
probably arrive at Clifford today. 1t
is now en- route from Goldfeld to the
camp. The hoist will be operated by
an eighteen-horsepower gasoline en-
CINE, and is the best made.
Russell and Cahill, late of Round
Mountain, and who are developing
property some 300 yards to the north
of the Clifford property line, have got
their shaft down fifty-six feet, and on
Tuesday broke into an ore body
which is as rich as anything the Cliff
ford has eve shown. No assays have
been made yet, but the ore is shot
with free gold, and paintings yield
gratifying results. The bottom OF
the shaft is still in the ore body, SO
Messrs. Cahill and Russell have nc
idea or knowledge as to its extent or
direction. They will continue sink
ing the shaft until the ore formation
has been cut through, and then will
commence drifting and taking out.
ore. The gentlemen believe that they
are developing a paying proposition
from the start.
Messrs. Feltman and Quinn, who
are starting to develop property a
mile north of the Clifford, have
a great surface lead to follow down
They have been panning free gold
from the roote of the sage brush, and
from indications believe that they
have the goods where they are 10.
Gated. Mr.. Conner was out to look
at the property and thinks 1t looks al
fine at the surface as anything he
has seen.
Three other properties which have
been leased will be developed right
away, and the leasers have already
ordered hoists, which will be install
ed within three weeks.
BY the way, the new owners of the
Clifford properties are spendinl
money for the construction of a goot
wagon road to G%oldfeld, and are
sending. all their trade there. Mr.
Conner voiced the sentiment of the
people of the Clifford district in tina
they would much rather come t.
Tonopah, inasmuch as Tonopah ii
their county seat, and that Tonopal
should get busy on the proposition
of good roads. Otherwise, when thu
Clifford road is completed, the entir,
north Kawlch trade will go to Gold
field. And, by the way, there is an
other inducement for them to e
there. For instance, a side of bacoI
which sells at 28 cents at Clifford
cost 80 cents in Tonopah, and but 1:
to 20 cents at GoldAeld. And man.
other things accordia ely. The peopl,
of Goldfeld seem to realize that these
are not the old bonanza days, but
that values have reached a NOR,
stable plane.

MONTHLY REPORT OF
THE TONOPAH SCHOOLS
A Few School Notes of Interest
Reports from the Various
Grade Teachers.

The new four-year high school
course is, for the first time in the
history of the Tonopah high school,
being tried. The courses are so ar
ranged as to necessitate an average
of at least four hours of preparation
from the student of ordinary ability.
With but four subjects in hand pupils
are able to make half of this neces-
sary preparation in the school room.
They should devote, therefore, NJ less
than two hours of intensive study to
the preparation of lessons at home.
Those pupils who find 1t obligatory
to engage in outside work, and those
who are allowed to participate extern
sively in social functions, will ordi-
narily be disappointed in an attempt
to complete the work satisfactorily.
Parents should have in mind that the
demands of the school upon the pu-
pills activities make 1t incompatible
for them to devote attention to mat
tiers foreign to the purpose of serious
study on the evenings of school days.
There Is ample time to attend to all
matters, both school and social, prop
erly, il but proper judgment is used.
Parents should take it as an indica-
ton that a child is not doing proper
work at school when an hour in the
grades from the fifth to the eighth,
inclusive, and at least an hour and a
half in the high school are not spent
in study at home. The lower grades
should devote time to home study in
proportion to the amount of work
the grade requires and ability of the
child to carry said work.
From time to time the Bonanza
will publish school notes, embodying
thoughts and suggestions OF the
teaching staff for the help of pupils
and patrons of the school.
The following is the report of the
Tonopah public school for the month
ending October 8. 1908. Also the
names of the scholars who have been
regular in attendance and whose

THINKS PUBLIC LESS HOSTILE.
Atchison Annual Report Sees Better
Attitude to Railways.

New York, Sept. 2S.-The annual re-
port of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad company for the fiscal year
ended on June 80 last. made public to-
day, takes cognizance of the railroad
agitation, saying:
In the last annual report We ex
pressed the hope that the public would
recognize that its recent attitude to-
ward railway companies in general
has been unjust to their stockholders
bondhoIders, and also that unless the
confidence of investors in the security
and publicity of railway investments is
restored it will be impossible to obtain
the additional railway facilities which
the country needs.
There are indications that the think
ing public has begun to appreciate that
the policy OF harassing the railroad
companies has gone too far, and it is
/ to be hoped that this will be reflected
| in the action of those charged with
making and administering the laws
/ We are still of the opinion that il
| would not be prudent for the present
to expend more capital in construction
| however desirable the development o.
the country and the benefit of the pub
lie; and. therefore, for the first time il
the history of the company the re arr
no plans in hand for the construction
of extensions"

Ernie HummeL Well known

Lake avenue, Chicago, said to be son
of former City Treasurer Hummel, was
arrested yesterday because of poker
game alleged to have been detected in
his saloon early Sunday morning. When
tn case came to hearing yesterday aft
ernoon nonsuit was taken because
the game was found in fiat above
the Hummel saloon, and it was alleged
that Hummel had no connection with
the fiat.
The discovery of the poker game
came through the arrest of Joseph
Hughes, cashier of the Erie & West
ern Transportation company, on a
charge of having embezzled $4,000 from
that corporation, in the rooms above
Hummels saloon. 1t also is asserted
that Hummers saloon was open at ?

obliged to make shift after shift in the
team, and today he tried new combina-
tons. Hickey at center. Eggerman at

left half are the three men who are
certain to start in the Chicago game.
Thte work of the team this aftere-

Indiana Harbor. Ind. Sept. 30.-Indi
ana Harbor police officials are looking
for a colored man known as Steve
Washington, who has been employed as
a laborer by the Cain construction COM
pany. Early yesterday morning Wash
ington drew a razor from his boot"
and attempted to carve his initials on
one George Cole. another negro en-
ployed by the Cain corporation. Cole,
however, WINGED and squirmed so badly
that he was cut in sixteen different
places and taken to St. Margaret's hos
pital in Hammond, weak and i'll from
loss of blood His condition is said
te be serious.
Assailant Is Mt Large.
The story of the cutting scrape is of
unusual merit Cole had a wheel
barrow which held less than one used
by Washington and consequently, the
former colored man worked less than
his friend. A refusal to exchange bar
rows led to several heated retors and
Washington ended the discussion by
drawing his '.rahza." After taking a
single glance at the victim of his prim-
Iitive revenge, he made for the woods
and was not to be found when looked
for by the police officers. He is de-
scribed as being tall and very black,
wearing a pair of overalls and a cark
blue shirt.
