LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10 Mar
tin J.. Murphy, sc years old, a
Death valley miner, was picked up
by patrolmen in the streets this
morning after he had slashed his
throat with a pocket knife.
Murphy came to Los Angeles sew
efal days ago to buy supplies, which
he intended to use upon another
prospecting trip in Death valley.
Here he met other old prospectors;
and they told tales of the struggles
they had made for gold, leaning
over various bars and swallowing
many kinds of poison in their ar
rations.
This morning Murphy found him
self without a cent, he says, and,
worse than that, he was decidedly
intoxicated. He decided that he
wanted to die.
Having no money, he could not
purchase any drug or rent a room
with gas in order to hasten his de-
mise, so he bethought himself of his
p6cketknife-a ''toadstabber," which
had done him good service often in
the cutting of a myriad of rashers
of bacon, and in opening innumer-
able cans of beans.
He drew it from his pocket and
slashed his throat. A liberation
three inches in length resulted upon
the right side, while one only half
as long was inflicted upon the left.
He probably will live.

VICTOR AJAX WOULD
WRESTLE FOR MONEY

The baseball fans of Tonopah wiz
have a grand chance to give vent tc
their enthusiasm on the coming Sun,
day when the Volunteers will cross
bats with the Goldfeld champions
The southern team has been indulg-
ing in hard practice for the past two
weeks and is more than eager TO
keep the claim of the championship
belt.
The Volunteers have also bee1
practicing nightly and are in a faf
better shape than they we're two
weeks ago when they lost by the
score of 2 to 0. A few weak spots
in the team have been strengthened
and now they are confident of cap
turing the scalps of the visitors. The
game will be played on the Local
diamond and will undoubtedly draw
a record-breaking crowd. The line
up of the two teams will be pub
lished at a later date.

Tahoe where the governmentsis put
ting in the big dam. 1t is said
that to view the workings is like
looking at a bee hive as men are
coming and going and crawling over
the big cement work like as many
bees. A Golfer dam was put in
which divided the stream in two;
then one side was dried out and
fully eemented and when this ~
completed the water will be turned
into this channel and the same work
will be done on the other portion
and then the Golfer dam will he
taken out. Hundreds Of people are

foot point and start stopping.
Owney Dougherty, who is conduct
ing the operations on the Smith,
Danforth and Dougherty lease, will
start today in running a crosscut
from the bottom of the ffty-foot
shaft. They have estimated that
after traversing fifteen feet, a ledge
of twelve inches in width, should be
encountered. This shaft was sunk
by Mr.. Dougherty during the days
of the leases but the ore shoot was
not p~rospected as at that time only
high grade ore could be extracted.
This ledge will go between $50 and
$50 to the ton. The ledge has been
opened up in a prospect shaft about
ten feet from the old shaft and also
shows in the shaft at a depth of
about ten feet.
b. P. Wilson, who is sinking di-
rectly across from the Celtic hotel.
has uncovered a vein which assays
about $40 to the ton. The shaft
will be continued until further
depth is ascertained when crosscut-
ting will be started.

Johnson and William Pouttu by
name, had spit their holes, seven.
teen in number, and were ascending
in the bucket to the station above.
When the bucket had reached a dis
lance of about sixteen feet from the
bottom of the shaft, one of thu
holes went off. Flying rock as a
result of the explosion struck the
three men and it was with great
difficulty that they remained in the
bucket. Had they fallen off they
would have come to a most untimely
end.
Johnson and Pouttu were the
most severely injured. Their
wounds consisted Of abrasions AMI
contusions of the head and body as
well as decorations of a minor ma
ture. They were removed to the
Miners hospital where their injur-
les were treated by DR.. Mapes. The
doctor states that neither one will
be any the worse for the experience
within a few days. Mr.. Hodge was
treated by DR.. Hammond. His
hands were tor by flying rock,
though his injuries were of a trivial
nature.
The explosion was undoubtedl !
due to a quick fuse. The fuses
We're cut long enough to allow the
men plenty of time to get beyond
harms way. However, there are
times when the fuse does not work
the way it should and yesterdays
accident was because of that fact.

RHYoLITE, Aug. 16. - The
Keane Wonder mill returns for the
last month we're brought to Rhyo-
lite on the 10th. They consist of
351 ounces of bullion from the
plates and 400 ounces from the
cyanide department. The total val
ire is $4,000. This sum is $4,000
short of the usual monthly output.
The deficiency is excused by acct
dents to the mill that entailed the
loss of n battery for three weeks
and that of the whole mill for near
ly a week. The first delay was
caused by a broken cam shaft and
the other by a %loosening of the
foundation of the big engine.
