Picked Sample From Golden
Prince Property Gives Re-
markable Returns.

The officers of the Golden
Prince Mining Company were
made happy this week by the
finding of ore assaying SOS
ounces silver and 40 per cent
lead. This ore was found while
stripping the ledge in a westerly
direction on the Black Hawk No.
2 claim, and is entirely a surface
showing.
The most of the work so far
prosecuted by the Golden Prince
Company has been confined to
the Golden Eagle claim. The
shaft on this claim is now 55 feet
in depth, and development of
the lodges in the form of cross
cuts is now under way. Some
good assays have been obtained
on this claim, and with the new
strikes on the adjoining claim
this company has a bonanza

Will Entertain
The Democrats

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the call of the democratic
party for their county conven-
tion, to be held in Phoebe, Sep
tember 10th. Much credit is due
to the democratic central COM
mittee for the determination in
bringing the convention to
Pioche. In so doing they have
given us that to which we are
entitled. 1t has been a number
of years since Phoebe has been
graced with the convention OF
either party and now that we
have been extended the courtesy
we should all unite in demonstra-
ting that Phoebe can be appre-
ciative as also entertainers.
We would be pleased to see as
many delegates present as possi-
bic, especially those of the south.
We think it would be an oppor-
tunity of their ascertaining what
we have here, and gaining a
good knowledge of the founda-
tion upon which we hope to base
our future greatness. We can
show to them a greater amount
Of mineral territory being worked
than at the time Phoebe claimed
10000 people as its population
and thus clearly demonstrate
that our hopes for double that
population in future is not a
vain or idle thought.

Laws Strict

Under the new naturalization
laws a hearing cannot be had
within thirty days prior to a
general election. For instance
a hearing set subsequent to the
third day of October, and prior
to the third day of November
would not be legal and must be
postponed until after the elec-
tion this fall.
Any aliens who have not as
yet made their petition for citi-
zenship are now too late to be
admitted in time to have a vote
this election. The petition must
be made ninety days before the
hearing and under the above rul-
ing, sufficient time is not avail
able.
There is only one petition tC
be heard by the district court
this coming term; perhaps this
scarcity of aspirants is due tc
the unfamiliarity of the changed
conditions, by many.

of the Mendah, is the fact that
all work prosecuted in the diff
ferent sections of the mine, is
rewarded by the finding of album
dant rich mineral ledges.
A car load of ore from this
mine was closed at the local de-
pot Monday and from two to
three car loads are now in the
bins. The ore which is now be-
ing taken out is done by two or
three men, and if the transpor-
tation facilities were more con-
venient, the output could be per-
ceptably increased by adding
more men. A number of men
are employed at the mine, but
the greater portion are on de-
velopment work.
The Mendah is proving one of
the biggest ore producers in this
section and the manner in which
she is responding to develop
ment can only be classed as
marvellous.

Political Notes

In the war being waged fol
the democratic nomination fol
congress, between Bartlett and
McCarren, the returns of the
primaries of different counties
seem to be in favor of Bartlett.
Two of the greatest surprises
were the winning of Washoe
county and Goldfeld for Bartlett.
While Reno was overwhelmingly
in favor of McCarren, through
the work of Considine, Bartlett
made up the majority in the
other towns of the county and
the delegation now stands four
teen to fifteen in Bartlett's favor.
The Rosenthal faction in Gold
field was defeated. Editors
Swartz and Dunn leading the
fight for the opposition. The
Goldfeld Tribune makes the
claim that more than $1,000 was
used in this fight.
While many democrats have
been mentioned for county offices
but few Republicans are out,
four republicans having announc-
ed themselves. John Shier will
make a bid for the senatorial po-
sition, while it is not known
whether DR.. J. D. Campbell vii
be in the race to succeed himself
or not.

Ordinances
Are Tested
Case Tried by Police Judge
Without Jury, After Bit
ter Fight.

The attention of the police
court was held Monday evening.
in the trial Of the State against
Belle Leidig, charged with dis
orderly conduct, under the town
ordinances. Attorney Simmons
appeared for the defendant and
District Attorney Horsey looked
after the interests of the State.
A bitter legal war was ragged by
the opposing attorneys over the
question of jury trial, the de-
fendant demanding one and the
State opposing on the ground
that the complaint was filed un-
der the town ordinances and
therefore the proceedings were
summary in character. Many
authorities were read and much
argument advanced, with the re-
suit that the court ruled in favor
Of the State and denied Jury
trial.
1t seems, from the evidence
brought out, that the defendant
was walking down Main street
in front of Cart & Taylor's saloon
and while passing made inquiry
of a number of men sitting in
front about a restaurant; she
was then asked to join them in a
drink which she did, taking the
drink while sitting on a beer keg
in front of a saloon; district at
torney Horsey and deputy Fitz-
gerald were sitting in front of
the Scherzinger furniture store
across the street and promptly
placed her under arrest. This
occurred Sunday morning about
l2:3O and the defendant was held
in Jail until Monday when the
trial occurred.
After listening to the evidence
the court found the defendant
guilty and imposed a fine of $40
which was promptly paid.
Considerable interest was man.
ifested in this case and the at
tendance was larger during the
trial than we have seen since the
famous Hancock trial some years
ago.
