Douglass Nine
Resumes Work

The Western Nevada Miner, pub
lished at Nina. prints the good news
that active work IS 10 be resumed
on the Douglass mine. eight miles
west OF SodaviIle. II says:
Nina received the good news this
week that the Douglass mine would
shortly resume active development
after a shut down of several months.
The Douglass property is located in
the Gold Range district. 1t was a
great producer of gold and silver in
early days, and prior to the discovery
of Tonopah and through the panic
days brought on by the d%emonitiza-
ton of silver, a number of leasers
were taking out ore. AS it was about
the only producing camp in the state
in the early nineties it earned the
title of the bread box of Nevada. The
Douglass is now owned by eastern
capitalists. About a year ago they
spent considerable money in driving
tunnels, but sufficient depth could not
be obtained to pick up the large ore
bodies known to exist in the prop
erty.
This week Colonel Thomas Pepper
received a communication from the
east asking him to take the manage
ment of the property and resume OPP
erations at once. Mr.. Pepper in
forms us that preliminary arrange
ments for a vigorous campaign of de-
velopment are now being rushed and
work will commence about the first
of March. A perpendicular shaft will
be sunk to catch the lodges at depth
when a system of crosscuts will bt
run. Mr.. Pepper is one of the ole
pioneers of the Douglass and hi
faith in the final success OF thu
!eamp has never wavered even in thu
darkest days of its history. The or
der to resume operations on thi
, property goes to show that money !
!, becoming easier in the east.

Ore Shipments
from RdWhide

]. w. Stewart is back from Raw
hide, where he has been looking after
business interests. He says that near
ly every property in the camp is be-
ing worked, and from a business
standpoint the place is looking bet
ter every day. The mills are running
fun time crushing ore from the diff
ferent properties and are being
crowded to their capacity. Ore teams
can be seen passing continually
through the street of Rawhide en-
route 10 the mills, and those who are
fpmiliar with the different mines
there state that the coming summer
will witness a great revival in the
mining industry of Rawhide. Work
has been resumed on the Booth-Alex-
apder-Byrnes lease on Balloon hill
and the men are sacking ore. Sam
pies assay $500 to the ton, and the
general average of the ore will 20
better than $500 to the ton.
THE scarcity of teams" said Mr..
Stewart, has somewhat retarded
the work of shipping ore to the rail-
road at Fallon and Schurz. Every
available team has been pressed into
service and still there are large guam
titles of ore on the dumps Of sew
eral of the properties awaiting ship
ment. The ore bins are filled to
overflowing and the big leasers are
trying to devise some method by
which they can secure additional
wagons for transportation until the
mills now under construction are
ready to drop their stamps"

Ore In
Five Places

]. w. Goodwin OF Helena came in
from that district yesterday and re-
ports the Broken Hills company sack
ing ore from five places on the sur
face.
The company has over 1000 sacks
of ore awaiting shipment said Mr..
Goodwin last evening, land | heard
today that additional teams would
soon be placed on the road hauling
the ore to this city. At present they
have two teams engaged in this work
ami so far they have been unable to
keep up with their end of the pro-
oeedings. The company is daily plac-
ing more men at work and now there
is hardly an idle mar in the camp"

CARSON CITY, March 12.-Car-
son is taking on new life during
these days of the legislature. One
sensation after another was sprung
in both branches during the session
today, These, on top of what has
been happening this week, has caus-
ed the anxious lobby which hereto
fore has been wasting its time here,
to sit up and take notice.
The first surprise came this morn
ing when 1t leaked out that the Dem
ocrats had caucused and that the
promised police bill fight will not
materialize. Thanks to the efforts of
Charles A. Kane of Rhyolite, Brooks
OF Esmeralda and one or two others
from the southern country, a quote
meeting was held last night. Gov
ernor Diekerson presided. He urged
upon those present the Importance of
legislation upon the police bill and
how by fighting for the Mcnamara
measure no good can be accomplish
ed He recommended supporting the
senate measure. Mcnamara consent
ed only after his fellow members
had pointed out that for the next two
years at least the state police bill
will be under the direction of Dick.

mara bill will be tabled and that the
senate bill win go through by q
unanimous party vote, Republicans
i of course, will also join in casting
their vote 10 insure the passage o
the bill.
Yesterday afternoon It looked a

posed commission to codify the law
of Nevada. Brooks had a bill favor

mission. The opposition had anothe

preme court members. Judge Sween-l
ey of the supreme court made an ac-
tive fight for the latter bill, for it
carries an appropriation of about
$4,000, most of which will go to
the members of the court. Sweeney
won the initial fight in the face of the
admitted claim that the bill as it now
stands is plainly unconstitutional.
Brooks changed his vote and gave
notice that he will move to have the
bill reconsidered tomorrow.
Party lines were thrown to the
winds on this measure, Speaker Gift
fen apparently being DESTROYS of
showing in every way possible his
lack of sympathy with the governor
or the administration. Giffen, by the
way, feels much %aggrieved at the
manner in which the papers Of south
ern Nevada are treating him. 1t is
probable that he will not return to
Manhattan, for some time at least.
The biggest surprise of the day
came when it was announced that the
senate judiciary committee had met
and considered the anti-gambling
bill. The measure had been amended

Work to Start

T. D. Murphy OF Goldfield will
within the next few days begin to
operate the placer ground at lone
with powerful hydraulics with which
to develop the property, and which
is expected to show values of a suf-
ficiently large amount to warrant the
further exploiting of the ground now
under their option.
Mr.. Murphy states that the general
average of the placer ground will run
somewhere in the vicinity of 70 cents
to 81 per cubic yard, and that with
the additional help of the machinery
which has been ordered the ground
will be made to pay freely.
1t is the intention Of the company
to spare no expense. and the future

The basketball game last evening
between the Big Five and the Tono.
pah basketball club teams was won
by the latter by a score of forty-two
to twenty-three.
The contest was not up to the
standard, the players apparently
playing with no interest. The most
interesting feature of the evening
was when two small boys anne near
engaging in a fistic battle at the close
of the game. A discussion over re-
spective points of two players caused
the argument that might have ended
in a free for all.

night and could muster only nine
supporters for their measure. The
opposition had ten, just the number
required for victory. Even with this
advantage they conceded to the gov
ernor's request to pass an anti-gam-
bling measure and approved the re-
form measure with amendments as
suggested by the administration.
Thus is Sweeney, the jurist, the pur-
list, again foiled. He led the lobby
fight for the reformers and incident
ally made several kinds of a fool of
himself by his schoolboy antics. Even
Sweeney's friends now admit he is
much in need of a guardian.
Nevada is to have a state rogue's
gallery, If Captain Cox of the state
police can have his way. Through
his efforts a bill was introduced in
the assembly today, providing for a
central information bureau under the
direction of Cox, which can require
every sheriff in the state of Nevada
to secure two photographs, thumb
prints and a detailed description Of

NEIL AND WOOD RETURN

To the surprise of all Coconino county at 5:30 Monday afternoon, Reuben L. Neill and Herbert E. Wood, the alleged murderers of E. P. Swartz. rode into Flagstaff. They went direct to the home of Sheriff John w. Francis and sur. rendered. Sheriff Francis had them at once appear before Justice of the Peace Harrington who. fixed their bonds at 5000 for their appear ance at the preliminary hearing on Wednesday. June g. Walter W. Durham, brother, inlaw of Neill, and c. A. Clark furnished the bonds.
 Wood arrived in Williams We'd nesday and Neill Thursday. Neill returned 10 the county seat Thurs day night with a bunch of his fine horses. Both boys looked we'll and did not seem to be worried and greeted their friends with a smiling faCe.
 THE NEWS asked for state ment from Neill, but in answer he said that his counsel. J. E. Jones had instructed him to keep still and therefore he had nothing to say regarding the case. If there were statements to be made, eaid Neill, it would have to be through his attorney.
 The two men claim they were not outside of Cuconino county. Very much interest is taken in the preliminary trial which will take place Wednesday at Flagstaff. Many are of the opinion that not sufficient evidence is in sight to hold the boys. while others predict that surprising revelation will come to light at the trial.
