FAIRv!EW MINES MAKING GOOD
Two Big Strikes Ire Reported on The Milpsh in
That District

After driving tunnel into the side OF
the Mizpah mountain, blind lead was
encountered at distance of about 800
feet that did not crop at the surface at
all.
Fairyiew Mizpah Mining Company
are employing three double shifts, work
my day and night, to reach the main
ledge, which has been proven by shaft
for 70 feet and two drifts right in the
high grade all the time, from which
car OF shipping ore has been saved.
They have driven the big tunnel, which
is feet high by feet wide, $40 feet to
date, and it is expected that 80 feet
more will reach the great Mizpah ledge,
which has yielded such valuable ore at
surface. They will then uprise to the
shaft for air, after which mining will
commence i'll earnest.
A contract has been made with the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany OF salt Lake for the purchase of
the Mizpah ores for a term of five years.

the discovery, Mr. Bretz was given a
one year lease on 800 feet square, from

Bretz lease means big thing for the

Auto Livery's New Machines.

Three new Peerless machines arrived
in fallon Tuesday and were Immediate
ly placed in commission on the Fall
lon-Rawhide run, for the accommodation
OF the constantly increasing traffic.
The new autos are the property of the
Auto Livery Company which already
has four gasoline wagons running out of
Fallon to the great gold camp.
The increase Of passenger equipment
has some significance when one takes
in consideration that although most of
the passengers, as well as the freight
traffic, is going by way of Fallon, tra-
vellers are taking machines from other
points, among which are Reno. Schurz,
Luning, and Nina.
Concerning the freight traffic, it has
been learned that although the distance
IRON Schurz to Rawhide is approxi-
mately 20 miles less than from Fallon,
charges made for hauling are the same,
while railroad freight charges to Falon
are from 20 TO 25 cents less than to
Schurz. To the men OF business met
hods who buy and sell at SO much per
pound, the item of freight is no small
consideration, consequently the reason
for the tendency to ship goods to Raw.
hide Ala Fallon is obvious.

Heavy Freight Receipts.

As barometer OF the volume OF busi-
ness being transacted the receipts of
freight in the local railroad can be relied
upon, and just at present 1t is very
large. Friday ten cars arrived con-
signed to local merchants, as follows /:
Two cars of lumber, Wonder and Fallon
Lumber Co. one car baled hay from
Lovelock, A. G. Burton; one carload
OF sugar, w. W. Williams; one ear of
oats from st. Anthony, Idaho, to w.
P. Clark; one car Of oats from st. An
thony, Idaho, for Fallon Forwarding
Co., and four carloads of mixed mer.
chandise.
In the shipment of oats from such a
remote point there is food for thought
among the readers of the STANDARD who
are engaged in rsnching, which should
lead to the sowing of larger acreage of
this valuable cereal.

Planned.

George 7. Childs has formed part
nership with holland 4 Williams in the
furniture business, and on the first of
the month he will give up his present

ATTORNEYS SUSPENDED.
Judge Must Erpunge Records Of Lander Court
or The Suspension Will be Permanent.

Decisions were handed down by the
cases of Judge Breen and District Attor-
ney A. j. Maestretti, of Lander county,
in the contempt and disbarme mt cases,
says the Carson News:
Judge Breen was suspended from the
practice OF the law in the state until
further order of the court and given
twenty days to expunge the offensive
natter from the Lander records or the
order would be permanent; Attorney
Maestretti was suspended from practice
for period of thirty days in all matters
except his practice as district attorney.
The contempt cases were dismissed, the
court only melting out punishment in
the cases for disbarment.
Judge Breen and District Attorney
Maestretti sharply criticized the opin
ion of the supreme court when it re-
versed the decision OF the Lander court
in the Patsy Dwyer case. Both were
hailed before the supreme tribunal for
contempt and the decisions were hand
ed down recently by the court. Mean
while Dwyer has been tried again and
acquitted by an Elko county jury OF one
of the most brutal murders in the his
tory OF the state.
The Breen decision concludes
The language and order OF respond
ent, considered as a whole, is not with
in the province Of legitimate criticism,
but lie of that character which is an un-
warranted reflection upon the honor,
integrity aud dignity of this court, the
effects of which is to impair the respect
due its authority and constitutes
grave breach OF professional propriety.
Because OF the language AID entry
complained of, 1T is ordered that
the respondent, Peter Breen, be sus-
pended and prohibited from praetieing
or appearing as an attorney or counsel.
lor at law at any court OF this state un-
til the further order OF this court, and
unless within twenty days from the FL
ing OF this opinion he has so entered in
the minutes and causes the language
and order which he had so entered in
the minutes OF the district court to be
expunged from the records of that court
and thereupon presents to this court
an affidavit or other satisfactory evI-
dence that said language and ordor
have been SO expunged, further order
will be entered by this court on the first
day of its next term directing that his
name be struck from the roll of attor-
neys and disbarring him from there
after appearing or practing in any OF
the courts OF this state.
Msestretti's punishment Was lighter
owing to the fact that he had filed an
answer in court stating that he did not
intend nor desire to offend the court nor
were his remarks meant to be OF such
character. The court simply suspends
him from all practice, save that as dis
trict attorney, for thirty days.

REBEKAHS BASKET SOCIAL
Sssenty-fiw Dollars Realized Toward Home For
Orphaned Children.

The basket social given last Thursday
night by Ramona lodge, Daughters oi
Rebekah, was largely attended and
proved very successful from financial
standpoint, netting the sum of $75.
The object in giving the social was to
raise money for the erection of an
orphans home for the State of Nevada.
At present there is no such institution
in the State. California has home for
orphaned children of Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs, the building and grounds, 10
acres, costing 10000, and being sup
ported by the Daughters OF Rebekah Of
that State. The number of inmates,
according to the last report, was fifty
five. That State also has home for
aged and INDECENT Odd Fellows, sur
rounded by 54 acres of fertile land.
This institution is supported by per
capita tax on every member of that or
der in the State and by donations.
Both the orphans and Odd Fellows
homes are made as nearly self-sustain-
ing as possible, raising all the produce,
etc, necessary.
1t is the ambition of the Nevada
Daughters OF Rebekah to provide SIM
liar home in this State for their or
phans. The report of the last session
of the Sovereign Grand Lodge shows
that there is already $4,000 in the fund
for this purpose. The money is invest.
ed and drawing interest, awaiting the
time when sufficient means will be on
hand to purchase the ground and erect
the buildings. The Grand Master on
his sisit to Fallon last. summer stated
that prize would be given.to the Re-
beksh lodge raising the largest amount
of money for this fund. Had this been
known before the social was given 1t
would undoubtedly have ,stimulatedlocal
pride and larger sum been realized.
However, SIS is a snug sum and re-
mittance of which the local lodge need
not feel ashamed.
The following interesting program
was rendered;

der cultivation. The figures were
startling.
Judge w. ID. Jones awakened a SYM
pathetic chord in the hearts OF the old
pioneers of Churchill county by recit-
ing some bits OF early history at time,
as lie said, when the county only had
% votes and two Republican majority
lie leelingy referred to 'Ira Kent and
his good wife," Wallace Ferguson, Lem
Alien and ''old Warren Williams" and
paid glowing tribute to the honor OF
the early citizens of the county by say
ing that there was always money in the
treasury and that the county had never
repudiated dollar of Indebtedness
his good-natured alusions to the early
day political struggles in the county
caused much merriment at the expense
OF the old-time Republicans present,
particularly Senator Williams and Wal
lace Ferguson, at whom his shafts of
witticism were directed.
Senator Williams time now came,
and he turned tho laugh on Judge
Jones by relating story OF Portuguese
'aborer, who was employed on the Sem
ator's ranch, and whom the Judge had
oeen trying to win over to the Democrctic
party. The fellow appeared before

RAGING SEASON
At SARATOGA SPA
BEGINS TODAY
Big Cut in Purses-Handicap
Main Feature of
Day.

SARATOGA, N. Y, July 3o.-The an
nual race meeting of the Saratoga AS
ISOLATION for the Improvement of the
Breed of Horses opens here today. The
Saratoga handicap, an event for three
y~ear-olds and upward, will be the main
feature of the day, and In 1t a lot of
very good horses will battle for the
purse of 81 800, instead of 500 0 as in
forme: years.
Society will be out at the track this
afternoon, but the proportions of the
elect who will grace the clubhouse and
lawns will be reduced in abou the
same ratio as the prize money in the
opening stake. The crowd, too, Will
undoubtedly be away below former rec
ords. All this had been foreseen by the
nagemen of the track, and on this
account the stakes to be run during
the meeting have been cut to the low
est notch possible. 1t is not thought
that the association will come near
breaking wen on the fifteen days
meeting.
What the authorities will do regard
ing betting Is unknown. No recogni-
ton of the betting end of the game
will be taken by the association, but
the memory betting that has been done
at the metropolitan rack since the
betting ring was done away with, will
be winked at by the management.
