Diamond Drill TO
Operate Fraction
WILL START AT 4OO-FOOT LEVEL
TO CATCH BIG COMBINA-
TION LEDGE.

GOLDFIELD, April Operations
with a diamond drill will commence
at ono upon the property of the
Combination Fraction.
The purpose of the drill will be to
locate the mammoth high grade
ledge recently uncovered on all levels
of the Combination No. l claim of
the Consolidated No. I claim Of the
Consolidated Mines company and
which is said to dip directly into the
Fraction ground. Work will start
from the 4O0-level and be prosecuted
day and night.
Should the Fraction ground show
this Combination ledge, it would
place the property into the class of
real bonanzas. Shipments to the Ne
yada-Goldfield Reduction works at
the rate of about 100 tons a day are
being continued with out Interrupt
'tion. The ore averages about $500
to the ton. A bar of bullion was
turned out yesterday, the second

its recent record. Three weeks ago
a bar Weighing 262 ounces was turn
ed out, valued in the neighborhood
of $4,000. The one turned out yes
terday is considerable larger and may
prove to be worth upwards Of $4,000.

PASTOR JERNIGAN WRITES

Dear Journal:- With my mail on the 8th came your familiar face, but your dress seemed long. CT, and l said, Maybe its the long trip up here that lengthens your robe. , Anyway 1 think you look better in long dresses, and you looked like the face of an old friend, and l talked you all over; felt a sort of at-home like sensa- tion while conversing with you.
 Our meeting began on rising ground and is going higher at each service. Eleven conversions to date and many others becoming interested. There is an opening for great up lift like we had at Newark two years ago, but l can- not stay with 1t to the end.
 There are some fine people up here, and they are good stock raisers. They raise good horses and cattle, and l have seen some of the finest mares here I ever saw Tn the state; in fact they are the best l have ever seen. I think if Muck Moore or Labe Hall could see them they would almost shed horse-tears to buy some of them.
 Tell Doc Lane to come up and go squirrel hunting; the woods are full of them.

DEFEAT SULPHUR ROCK
Ball Game Saturday Results in
 Victory For Newark

Last Saturday on their own dia- mond, Sulphur Rock High School met defeat at the hands of the Newark High School by score of P to II.
 The game was played we'll up to the sixth inning when several er- TOTS were made and Sulphur Rock scored five times, making the score at that time ten to five in fa- vor of Sulphur Rock. The New ark boys realized that it was up to them to win the game by slugging and they took nine hits from Jer- nigan and scored twelve times in the seven h.
 Sulphur Rock never rallied after the seventh, and the Newark boys kept placing the ball where the Rockers couldn't handle them, and five men scored during the re- maining part of the game. | Although there were large

CARD OF THANKS

We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to our many friends for their many deeds of kindness and words of sympathy during the prolonged illness and death of our beloved father, J. A. Williams, who departed this life April 23. While words are too weak to express our appreciation of your kindness, and the things of this life can never reward you for such noble acts, yet we are sure you will be rewarded by our Heavenly Father who doeth all things well. "There is no death. The stars go
 down,
 To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright in Heavens jeweled
 crown
 They shine forevermore.
 There is no death! An angel form Walks OCT the earth with silent tread; He bears our loved ones away, And we call them dead. '

 AND SISTERS.

the matter is this: You are not out with me because I voted to extend the session, nor because of Judge McCaleb's dismissal-it was other thorns that stuck into you and made you sore and that makes you kick, but you havn't got the manhood to tell the truth, the whole truth, or any part of it, about the matter.
 These things you mention are only pretexts and subterfuges, and all the people can see it.
 Now in conclusion, let me say that you are mistaken about smell ing rotten eggs-you only smell yourself, and think it is rotten eggs. Don't you know that rot ten egg would smell like a rose by the side of you? Get 6 dozen rot ten eggs and put in your pocket and see if your neighbors won't thank you for the changel

A PACKAGE FOR ROBBIE
A Crisp Brown Bundle With the
 Compliments of j. L. Brown

If we clip short off the wing and tail feathers of a rooster 1t makes him look somewhat Robbie, and so when 1 got through clipping Johnnie" he jumped up and call ed himself Robbie. "
 Now, Bob Johnnie, or John Robbie, as the case may be, listen to me and I will tell you few other things.
 You talk about it taking three weeks to hatch an egg. Now, John Robbie, havn't you got sense enough to know that it takes long CT to hatch large egg than it does small onel Would you ex- pect to hatch an eagle in the same time you would wren? Johnnie, if your body was no larger than your mind, you probably matched Tn thirty minutes.
 Now, Bob Johnnie, if it was so we'll known that the legislature would vote to extend the session, why did you not send in petitions against it? And if everybody knew 1t was coming, what was the need for me to write and tell them2 Where was you, you great guard ian of the commonwealth, that you was not warning them your self, and getting them to petition against it2
 You lug in Judge McCaleb and then admit yourself that 1 did not vote to dismiss him. What then does that have to do in the easel Not a thing in the world, and you know it. You doubtless did this thinking you would array his friends against me. Are you that big 8 fool, to think that people can't detect your dirty schemes2 "Thompson's colt" would look like a Solomon standing by the side of you.
 You talk about Honest Will Thompson How is it, John Robbie, that he is honest when he voted to extend the session and thereby voted as much to discharge Judge McCaleb as 1 did. We vot- ed the same way on these matters, and yet he is Honest Thompson and I am Dishonest Brown. ." Now don't you see~you hung your self with your own rope, and did not have brains enough to know it, you blubbering idiotl

long step is impossible is not fashion

Too scant short skirt is rarely be-

edly in favor this season, being made up
not only in serge, cheviot and such SER
viceabe fabrics, but in yoile, silk and

are not nearly SO becoming as the gored
seam and circular effects, but straight
lines are obligatory, and many skirts ap-
