IS OUSTED FROM
CONTROL Of
The DALY-WES7
(By Associated Press

DENVER, Feb. 2O.-At the ad-
journed meeting of the Daly-West
Mining company the old board of d.
rectors was reelected after a hard
fight by the eastern men with whom
J, J. Daily, the discoverer of the mine,
was allied.
The eastern and Daily faction con-
tended that the mine was not being
operated for the best interests of the
stockholders which was denied by. the
Observation-Disclosures people who
claim that only the low price of sill
yer has caused the amount of work
and production to be less than the
development of the property justi-
fed. The mine is one of the big ones
of Utah, but the DAILY faction think
1t is being manipulated for the pur-
pose Of forcing a merger with other
companies.

is not only interesting in regard to
it's story, but it also shows the cos
tunes of that time, the armor and
weapons used in warfare, the styles
and the tablet Another film, "The
Lovers Guide" is very funny one,
showing the antics of a love-sick
youth, who on making love speech
refers himself to the guide book. Too
much cannot be said of this film in
regard to it's humor. Last but not
least of the films is TOO Much

how man can easily rid himself of
a mother-in-law and at the same time
have her, win the Vanderbilt cup in

FdIIOn Nan In
Town With New
Lighting Device

E. j. Maupin, of Fallon, is in this
city introducing new process for
lighting. He represents and has the
state agency for the F-B gas lighting
machine, and has installed one of
these plants in the H. J. Hall Liquor
company building. The machine
generates it's own gas from gasoline
and the brilliancy produced far sur
passes any other lighting device.
They are of a 500-candle power and
throw steady, clear light without
the slightest Pickering and are en-
tirely free from heat or odor.
The machine is marvel and lead
ing business houses in the east, after
years of use, give it the highest rec
concentrations. The cost of lighting
is decreased over so per cent, while
the brilliancy is increased 100 per
cent. The interior of the Hall Liquor
company is illuminated with eight
lights and it is estimated that the
cost will not be over $12 month.
Mr.. Maupin has installed these
lights in Goldfield, Pioneer and Raw
hide, the last place he not only sup
piled the business houses but the
mines as well are now equipped
with huge lights when resemble in a
way the arc lights. He leaves this
morning for the south where he will
install a number of the machines
which have been ordered since his
last trip. and will return to this city
in about ten days, having secured
OF ders from a number of business
houses here.

LIVES EIGHT
HOURS AFTER HE
:; T. SHOOTS HIMSELF
PROMINENT MINING MAN OF
SOUTHERN NEVADA SUI
CIDEs IN GOLDFIELD.

Edward Myers, brother of Al d.
Myers of Goldfield, and once well
known mining man of southern Ne
vada, committed suicide Friday aft
ernoon in room in the Esmeralda
hotel by shooting himself in the head
with a 38-calibre Colts six-shooter.
The only possible reason known
which could have forced him to COM
NIT the act was financial troubles
He had arrived Tuesday from Gold
Crater. where he was managing min
ing properties for his brother and as
-sociates, but his stopping place up to
the time he engaged room in the
Esmeralda hotel, is unknown.
Myers skull was almost complete
ly shattered and brains were scatter
ed all over the room. In spite of
this he lived for eight hours after
firing the shot.
His wife lives in Gold Crater and
an automobile was sent after her.

LIGHTER BASKETBALL TEAM
PLAYS ALL AROUND HUSKY

The Tonopah Basketball club
again won from the Big Five team
last evening by score of 80 to 10.
The lighter team made the Big Five
look like the five of spades. They
played all around the big fellows,
who never had look in from the
start, and in fact did not play the
game they put up in the early part
of the week.
The Goldfield high school team
which won the championship several
weeks ago has evinced no desire to
play return game, as they wish to
retain the honors. A game may pos
sibly be arranged, however, sometime
this week, and if so the Goldleld
boys stand good chance of seeing
the honors come home to Tonopah.

SEARCH
FOR MISSING SON
IS FRUITLESS
MOTHER ANxIoUsLY AWAITS
RETURN OF WANDER
ING LAD.

After having travelled through
nearly every state in the union,
Charles R. Reapath, a prominent
man of Boston, Massachusetts,, ar
rived in Tonopah yesterday and
spent the afternoon here interview
ing different people and looking for
information concerning his son,
Charles R. Reapath, Jr., who left his
eastern home three years ago. The
young man mysteriously disappeared
on the evening of his twenty-first
birthday, and since that date no
word has been heard from him.
Mr.. Repath has advertised extern
sively and has even had detectives
take up the search for the missing
boy and several times when success
seemed to be in sight, the result
would invariably be defeat. Several
weeks ago he received information
that the young man had been seen in
Goldfield by former acquaintance,
and hurrying to the southern city he
made thorough search of that place
with no results.
That is only one of the many visits
he has made to places where it has
been reported that the boy had been
seen.
The boys mother is worrying
herself to the grave" said Mr.. Rea-
path yesterday, ''and each night she
prays that he will return home
There is no accountable reason why
he should have left, for he was al
ways satisfied and his home life was
more than happy. He had just fin
ished course in one of the prepar.
atory schools at home and would
have entered one of the large univer.

nix, Arizona, and both my wife and
went there to look for him, and il
was there that we received definite
proof that he was still living, fol-
several people recognized the photos
we had of him. But we were too late
On the date of our arrival he left the
city, stating to a friend that he wa.
bound for Nevada, and when | re
ceived word that he had been seen ii
Goldfield was in hopes that my
quest would at last meet with sue
cess. Mrs. Reapath was also hope
full and now it will be hard task t.
return with the report that the triI
was fruitless one.
The young man is described as be
ing "a years old, medium height
dark complexion, dark hair, goot
looking, and has a small triangle
scar on his forehead.
Mr.. Reapath will leave this morn
ing for Reno and other cities in the
northern part of the state, where h,
will continue the search before re
turning to his eastern home.
