COUNTY AUDITOR
VEToES BILL FOR
ATTORNEYS FEES

Among the bills allowed by the
county commissioners Tuesday was
one in favor of Harry l.. Baker r.
the sum of $3.50 for legal services
rendered. Mr.. Baker represented
the district attorneys office Of this
county in the recent habeas corpus
~ oceedings instituted by W. F. Ford,
who was endeavoring to regal his
liberty after being arrested on a
warrant charging him with embezzle-
ment, an indictment having been
found by the Nye county grand jury.
The bill was presented to County
Auditor and Recorder Puddy Crimes
yesterday who filed with the county
c'erk the following reply, wherein he
states that the payment of sail bll,
would be in violation Of the statutes
Of the state of Nevada:

pus hearing of w. F. Ford. AS coun.
" auditor of said county of Nye ]
return said bill unpaid back to you
with my objections, which are as fol.
lows, to-wit:
In 1907 the legislature of the state
passed a law regulating the fees and
compensation Of Nye county officials
tchapter II, page 20, Stat. 1900,
which reads:
The district attorney shall re-
ceive the sum of $500 per annum
and the said district attorney shall
draw no money from the county
treasury for any vagrancy or other
conviction had within the county.
The district attorney shall be al.
lowed mileage at the rate Of 25 cents
per mile in going to, and coming
from any part of Nye county, when
acting in his official capacity and on
official business.
The district attorney may appoint
such deputy or deputies as in his
judgment are necessary, but no
money shall be drawn from the coun-
ty treasury as salary or recom nansa
for the services rendered by such
deputy or deputies"
Believing that when this law was
passed 1t was meant that the $500
covered all the expenses of the dis
trict attorneys office for legal work
done In and for Nye county. In this

ALL ABOARD
FOR BIG SHOW
ON JUNE II
Ten little volunteers,
Swinging on the rings,
One bumped his coco,
And then he seen things.

Wow. Isn't that awful! But it
was only after being assured that it
was meant to be poetry that we
printed it. Heinie Annawaldt COM
posed the above verse last evening,
while in a pensiye mood. He has
started to write about the volun-
teers' gymnastic entertainment !,
which will be given at the Eagles
Pavilion June II. Just as Heinie
reached the last line of the bum
poem the lights went out.
Luckily the entertainment has
nothing to do with the poetry. For
it is going to be the greatest thing
ever pulled off in Tonopah. There
will be a large number of specialties
by Professor Sehaefer's gymnastic
class. Each stunt is an act in itself
The tickets have been placed on sale
at the leading business houses.

SUB STATION
AT MANHATTAN
NEARLY READY

The sub-station Is a modern type
building, being a monolith of steel
reinforced concrete, which is practi-
cally indestructible. The walls are
six inches thick, stiffened at intervals
BY pilasters two feet square which
carry the roof. There is practically
no stress in the walls except expan-
sion and contraction caused by tenn
perature variations, and this stress is
compensated by the imbedded steel.
The building throughout has con-
crete floors and the living rooms and
Office are ceiled with concrete slabs
three inches thick, calculated to sus-
tain $50 pounds to the square foot.
The structure will have a steel root
and the metal tile of the roof will
be lined with asbestos mill-board,
supported by wire netting, making
the roof fire, dust and SNOW proof.
All pipes, cables and wire connec-
tons will be in ducts and pits under.

NEW LEDGES
BEING IN
MANHATTAN DISTRICT

ent week of the Plamanez and Shea
leases
On the War Eagle claim of the
Seyler-Humphrey company, James
Shea and others, who have success
fully operated a lease on Union No.
8, have uncovered a ledge which on
the surface shows two feet in width
and carries average values of from
$40 to $40 per ton, with portions of
the ore a~ssaying above 500 per ton.
Only surface work has been done on
this ledge as yet, but the showings
are gratifying to the leasers, as well
as to the Seyler-Humphrey company.
On the east side. the Toiyabe Gold
Mining company has also uncovered
a new ledge, which at a depth of
forty-five feet shows an average
value of from $40 to $25 per ton. 1t
also has streaks of ore that assay
much higher.
Probably the most important dis
covery made during the past week
in quartz was that on the Morning
Star. At a depth of 125 feet on this
property the entire bottom of the
shaft is in m~ineralized rock with two
feet of ore that will average better
than $50 per ton; five inches of this
ledge lying along the footwall will
assay above $50 per ton.

y IN BIG PLACERS

Malapai John Mihelitch, one of
the heaviest owners in placer ground
in the main gulch, yesterday disposed
of 700 feet of the Bright August
claim to jeffrey Schweitzer and Clyde
Hill OF Goldfeld. The consideration
is not given out, but it is understood
to have been a good round figure.
The Bright August claim is located
about a half mile above the narrows,

has been proven one of the richest

MANHATTAN, June 10.-The
placer operations in the Manhattan
gulch during the past week so far
as development work has been car
ried on, shows a continuance of the
rich pay gravel, and a number of
e shafts have been started for bed

the delay in the Nevada-California
Power company in completing its

some of the operators. An extensive
electric equipment is being installed
on the ground recently acquired by

Plans have been laid and in some
cases perfected for more extensive

FRANZ LUCY'S
DEATH CAUSED
BY NEGLECT

GOLDFIELD, June 10.-"Crim-
inal negligence on the part of the
repair gang working in the Reilly
shaft for the Goldield Florence Min
ing company, by falling down said
shaft, caused by stepping upon a
defective plank placed there by one
of said repair gang"
This is the substance of the find
ings of the c%oroner's jury which yes
terday completed it's inquisition into
the death on Monday of Frank AL
len Lucy, mine superintendent of
the Florence. 1t is said that the re-
port of the mine inspector, who also
independently investigated the acct
dent that cost Lucy his life, will be
along the same lines as the verdict
of the coroner's jury.
The jury was composed of E. FL.
Latimer, foreman; William e. Beck
er, Richard Doyle, G. l.. Brown, w.
0. Madden and Thomas Mccartney.
The broken blank about which so
much mystery obtained, was intro
duced before the court. 1t had been
split almost entirely across the mid
die, and the CRIME Of age in the
crack showed the break to have been
an old one. 1t is claimed that the
board would not have sustained the
weight of a child, to say nothing of
a full grown man. One portion of
the board vas found on the $50
level, by William Anderson, who
was down the shaft in company with
Ed Ryan, deputy state mine inspec-
tor, and the other at the ESQ level,
Just above the stump. The plank is
about a foot wide at one end, but
the other end was not more than
eight and a half inches wide, owing
to an old break. Moreover, it was
of such a length as to barely cover
the shaft. Thomas f. Walsh, day
engineer, testified that the plank

John Bell testified that when he went
down the shaft on Monday morning
the plank in question was not across
the shaft at the sixty-fve foot level
1t must have been placed there BY
some one after he had gone down
Frank Gregory declared that he hat
placed one board across the coronei
of the shaft, but not the one running
clear across, and which broke will
} Lucy's weight. William Anderson
who is in charge of the repair gang
stated that he had given no order
for the plank to be placed across tn,
shaft, and a in ignorance of VIII,
assumed the authority to do so.

The rush is on to Glendale. After
a delay of several days In the filing
of the townsite with the county com

was completed late last evening, and
this morning at 10 o'clock the sale
of lots will be started at the Ellen
dale office.
Ed Clifford, ST., M. D. Baihly,

Mr.. Baihly and Mr.. Robbins were
engaged in completing the draught-
Ing of the plat and at about z O'Clock
last evening 1t was presented to the
county commissioners who approved
of it.
AS soon as this became known
there vas a great hustling among
the business men of this city, for
automobiles and within a short time
nearly every available seat was en-
gagged. The ears will start as early
as 4 O'Clock this morning and 1t is
expected that the rush will continue
throughout the day. The first car
to leave will be one of the Simplex
