RAWHIDE CAMP
ALL THE TALK
Latest Strike Produces Big
Samples of Rock Worth
$4,000 to Ton, Gold.
TOWN is GROWING RAPIDLY
NEWSPAPERS, BANKS, TELE-
PHONE AND TELEGRAPH.

GOldfield, Feb. Everybody in Gold
field is talking Rawhide, and GoIdfieId
men, quick to realize the merits of the
new camp, have not been slow to get in.
Yesterday chunk of ore weighing twenty
pounds. from which samples taken as
sayed $4,000. was exhibited in the win
dow of Main street jewelry store. and
attracted much attention. 1t was taken
from the workings of the Grutt brothers
on Grutt HILL and besides gold in the ma
tive state, contains petite, telluride of
gold and silver
Bert Ullmer, one of the pioneers of
Goldfield, who has been in Rawhide for
several months, says the camp is a Won
der Grutt HILL he declares, is a noun
tain of ore. some of which is richer than
the high grade of the early days of this
camp. Grutt hill lies just above the town
and one of the best leases is within few
feet of the main street, which follows
the old Candelaria stage road. On the
opposite side of the town are the Happy
Hooligan and Roseberry claims, on which
leaSers are sacktng rich ore. Between
the two lies the Last Chance, which was
purchased recently by A A. Codd and
A. w. COote of Goldfield, who have div
ided the ground into eight blocks and
leased the entire territory for period
of eighteen months.
The famous Kearns lease on the Bal
loon claim is largely owned by Goidtield
men, who bought a substantial interest
and organized the original Rawhide Leas-
ing company. This lease is credited with
seventeen feet of ore, at depth OF 80
feet that carries gold and silver to tAe
value of 500. This was the banner lease
of the camp until the discovery made by
the Grutts.
Captain j. A. Hassen of GOldfield has
paid S45. 600 for a years lease on the Mas
cot claim, on which some very rlch ore
has been discovered, and expects to make
a fortune from the claim.
Rawhide is in the extreme northern
part of Esmeralda county, and is forty
miles from FallOn, in Churchill county.
The latter county at first laid claim TO
the new district. but joint survey by
the surveyors of both counties estab-
lished the rights of Esmeralda, in which
GoIdfield is situated. The town has four
newspapers and two banks, and two teie-
graph-telephone lines are now being built
The latest thing proposed is stock eX-
change. which will be organized and
ready for business by the time the wires
are strung. Several companies have al
ready been formed and the exchange
promises to do a lively business.

been TO mako manual training cduca-

SUPERVISORS BREAK
FAITH WITH BOARD
ADVERTISE LIQUOR LICENSE
IN OBSCURE PAPER
Had Agreed to Grant No More Saloon
Permits Near Line of Aques
duct - Will Act
Monday

What appears to be an effort on the part
of the supervisors to quietly grant saloon
license along the line Of the aqueduct was
uncovered by the board Of public works yes
terday.
An application has been made to the super
visors for a liquor license at Neenach, which
is close to Elizabeth lake, where one of the
largest gangs in the employ of the aqueduct
is stationed
The law requires the supervisors to publish
all applications for liquor licenses, but it does
not require them to select an unduly noisy
medium in which the advertisement appears.
AS a consequence a Glendale paper has been
printing the advertisement, and it would
probably have gone unnotced If the attention
of the board of public works had not been
called to it.
The matter will come before the supervisors
for action at their meeting next Monday, and
II is probable a member of the board of public
works or someone representing it will be pres
ent to protest.
The board declares the supervisors are
breaking faith with them. Some time ago
the supervisors granted two saloon licenses
along the line of the aqueduct. The board
of public works protested against these and
these licenses had previously been promised.
They agreed to grant no more and promised
when the year expired the licenses then ex-
listing would not be renewed. They were re-
newed in spite of this promise.
The board has appealed to supervisors of
other counties to grant saloon licenses
along the aqueduct but other boards have
always pointed to the action of the Los An
geles supervisors and declared when the leg
slators of this county refused applications it
would be time for the board to talk to them.

their minds, and II the mayor vetoes it will

He sustained fractures of five ribs, a

The automobile was being driven
north on Main street, and besides the
chauffeur was occupied by A. G. Lus-
by agent for the Stoddard Dayton
Automobile company, and ]. H. W
Meyer. 1t was the first trip made
with the motor car. 1t was being TAX

The witnesses do not know exactly
how the accident happened. 1t seems
Gilbert stepped from behind a car go
ing south on Main street directly In

rectly in front of the motor car and
but a few feet away when the chauf-
feur saw him. The power was shut OFF
