MINING EXHIBIT IS
WELL GUARDED

A dispatch from Goldfeld says that
exhibits are coming in at a good rate
for the Mining congress show, and the
statewide interest which has been
arousd is being more strongly demon
strated each day. GoIdfieId will have
an exhibit thoroughly in keeping with
the marvellous resources of the dis
trict, and the assembling of their
specimens is practically completed by
the various mines, but on account of
the high grade character of much of it,
the specimens have not yet been sent
TO the "Mineral Paiace.' These
high grade exhibits will be retained
by the companies in Goldfeld until
the last minute available for placing
them in position. at the request of
John H. Tate, official classifer, to pre-
vent possible loss by theft or fire. A
watchman has now been employed for
night duty, and Mr.. Tate has taken up
exposition hall, so the exhibits will be
well guarded from now on.
Another large chunk of sulphur from
Cuprite, about foot in diameter by
two feet long, has been added to the
collection, being brought in by Mr.
Oldt, who owns the controlling interest
in the big sulphur deposit.
Consignments were also brought il
from other points in the state, which
will be unpacked and classified al
quickly as possible.
The "white cabinets" have beer
completed, and the work of placing the
exhibits in position will proceed rapid
ly The richest and choicest speci
mems will be enclosed in glass, will
sealed doors, and the larger and NOR,
ordinary specimens will be assembled
on the hundreds of feet of long tables
that have been built, in keeping will
the general plan of white background
for all of the cabinets, which will dis
play the specimens to the best posi-
Bile advantage. The enclosed cabinet
which runs the length of the big din
ing room, will be supplied with
myriad of electric lights, and ther'
will be ample room for display with
out crowding. 1t is apparent that thi
is to be the finest collection of ore
ever shown at any session OF the Min
ing congress.

MISSING CHINESE
GIRL LOCATED

CONSERVATION reigned in what was
left of the Quong Sing household in
chinatown Thursday morning when it
was discovered that Dorothy was miss.
ing. Investigation disclosed the fact
that she had been taken away by her
father. The local authorities were at
once notified, and an attorney consult
ed. but owing to the fact that, under
the law, the father was the legal
guardian of the child and entitled to
its custody, criminal proceedings
could not be instituted.
The trouble in the Quong household
started some months ago, when Quong
returned from China, it is alleged, an
nouncing that during his absense he
had taken a young wife in the old
country.
Mrs. Quong at once consulted an at.
torney, with the result that it is an
nounced that divorce proceedings will
be shortly instituted.
While standing at the Southern Pa.
eife station Thursday evening mem.
Der of the staff of the Silver State
News noticed Dorothy being taken
aboard the train by Chinaman
dressed in American clothes. As the
tram was Late that evening, the oc.
currence was not reported until yester
day morning, when Attorney Brandon
Mrs. Quong's counsel, was acquainted
with the fact.
The sheriff s Office was at once mott
fed and telegram was sent the San
Francisco police,on the assumption that
Dorothy had been turned over to some
Young Chinaman and abducted. How
ever. when Sheriff Lamb returned
from Lovelock yesterday afternoon he
stated that he had seen Dorothy will
her father on the streets of Lovelocl
and had talked with them. Under the
circumstances il is probable that moth
ing further in the matter can be don,
until the domestic difficulties of th'
couple are settled by the court.

ry advance charges, the rate or rates
used in assessing the advance charges
must be shown, thus specifically nam
ing the through rate.
