| am glad to state that the people
have appreciated our efforts to be of
help to them by liberal patronage
and courteous treatment.
Il have visited Manhattan, Round
Mountain and Glendale but recent
ly. find that those camps are
looking splendid in spite of some
adversities that threatened to retard
their progress. The people are far
from being pessimistic. There is an
air of confidence %pervading the at
mosphere which is a most encourage
ing sign and which cannot fail to
show the confidence of those who
best know the country.
THE Manhattan placers are just
now attracting no end of attention.
From what / could see and learn,
there is every reason to believe that
that camp will make into one of the
very best in the entire state.
Glendale is a new entry into the
mining world since my departure
from here. It is quite the talk at
this time. / took the time and pains
to inform myself as to conditions
there. For a beginner 1t does look
right fine. The surface showing'
there are the most remarkable.
What the future holds in store for
the new camp is of course a matter
of conjecture, although it is but rea.
sonable to believe that it will de
velop into one of the big camps OF
the state and that before a great
while.
II expect to return to Denver
within a few days. have taken W
my residence in the Colorado capita
and while l will visit here occasion
ally, 1 expect to make that city my
permanent home"

SENT TO JAIL FOR
SPENDING TRUST FUND

Judge Atkinson yesterday sent a
man to the county jail for ten days
on account of his having imbibed
too freely of the cup that cheers.
1t appears that one Ingersoll now
in Jail for having beaten a board
bill had a partner whom he trusted
with some money. 1t was a fund
supposed to be held in trust by the
partner out of which Ingersoll was
to pay his board bill. The partner
couldn't be located, according to In
gersoll. Therefore the latter reposes
behind the bars.
Yesterday IngersolPs partner was
taken into custody for being drunk
and disorderly. When asked con-
corning the trust fund he stated that
he supposed he had spent it. He
was given ten days to think it over

Well of
d and
Georges Canyon

Frank Bugbee, a mining man and
prospector who has been over near
ly every foot of Nevada, arrived in
Tonopah last evening from Ellen
dale and Georges canyon in both of
which places he is interested. In
the former camp he is operating a
lease, while in the latter he owns
some ground which he thinks high
ly of.
Concerning Glendale, Mr.. Bugbee
states that the past few days have
witnessed discoveries that warrant
the expression that the camp has
come to stay. On the Coleman lease
on the Gold Wedge claim ore run
ming $40 per ton has been uncover
ed. The values are in ledge forma-
ton and augur well for the success
of that estate.
On the Mustang claim two strikes
were made this week which show up
exceedingly well. Richard Callag-
han has found ore that shows a
value of $50 to the ton and as
depth is made the values are in
creasing. This lease lies alongside
the Sandstone. The other strike
on the Mustang was made on the
lease of Jim Noonan. Here the
values run nearly up to the hundred
dollar mark.
Mr.. Bugbee states that Ellendale
certainly looks fine at this time.
Everybody there has the greatest
confidence in the camp. He looks
to see the district develop into one

NEWSPAPER MAN
TOOK GOOD JOB

Il saw by the paper a few days
SINCE said an old timer, where
a newspaperman had guarded rich
ore. In this desert country a man
is most apt to do anything, no mat
ter what his calling.
II remember a newspaperman in
Tonopah ONE years back. He had
been imported to Tonopah from an
outside city to take a position on
n of the local papers. He had
been here but a few days when the
paper on which he had been working
vas sold and he was a part OF the
proposition.
1T is perhaps needless for me to
state that he was broke; the aver
age newspaperman is usually with
out much cash. At any rate, the
gentlemen in question was sitting in
front of one of the local hotels when
Tom McCabe, then in the employ of
the Tonopah Mining company, hap
pened along. The pencil pusher was
quite well acquainted with Tom,
having known him in Virginia City
and elsewhere.
What are you doing" said Tom.

of the largest and most productive
in this state of wonders.
Speaking of Georges canyon, Mr.
Bugbee is profuse in his praise. He
says there is not the slightest doubt
but that 1t is the making of one of
the really big producers of Nevada.
He took the pains to take twenty
five samples from properties extend
ed over an area Of two miles and
there were but two blanks. The
vein system is perhaps the strong
est he has ever seen in Nevada.
Everywhere there are lodges, each
of which shows gold values.
I'm my travels I have never seen
such an excellent chance for big
things as there are in Georges can
yon. 1t is a section that is fairly
alive with lodges" said Mr.. Bug
bee. I'm every instance these veins
carry values that will pay to work.
And the beauty of 1t is that there
is any quantity Of wood there for
mining purposes, while an abund-
anee of water flows through the
canyon for milling and domestic
purposes.
THE condition OF the country
financially may keep the canyon in
the background for a time, but let
me tell you that 1t is bound to come
to the front ooner or later, 1t is
without doubt one of the finest sec
ions that have ever seen and my
travels have taken me over a good
part of this mans country"

F. R. BOWIE GOES TO
NEW CAMP TODAY

f. r. Bowie leaves this morning
for Glendale, in which camp he is
heavily interested. Mr.. Bowie spent
the greater part Of his life in news
paper offices, having in his time oc-
cupied some of the most RESPONSE
BILE positions on many of the metro
politan dailies. The past few years
he has been devoting his time and
attention to mining and regrets that
he did not start in earlier to follow
the camps. He thinks well of FL
lendale, believing that the camp will
add to the list of this country's
wealthy men many of the individuals
who are now operating there.
Mr.. Bowie returns to Glendale
with the firm determination of stay
ing with it and seeing the deal out.
With him goes a store of provisions
that will keep the wolf from the
door for many days, in addition 70
the tools necessary to pierce the
earth in search of one of the treas
ure vaults of nature. On his lease,
the indications point to the opening
up of values as depth is attained.
He believes that this time he is in
right. He will follow the clue that
he has and which he is of the opin-
ion will eliminate in golden discov-
cries

TRIAL OF FORD
WILL BE TAKEN
UP NEXT WEEK

Judge NJ. r. Averill of the dis,
trict court will be absent several
days at Duckwater making a per
sonal investigation OF conditions
there concerning the dispute which
is being aired in his court in re-
gard to certain water rights on
Duckwater creek.
The court will Monday
morning next. One of the cases to
come up mex week, and to which
a great deal Of importances at
taches, is one in which w. f. Ford
of Berkeley, California, formerly of
Tonopah, will have to face the
charge of embezzlement.
Ford is now out on bonds. He
was indicted by the grand jury of
Nye county the latter part Of April
last, charged with receiving moneys
from certain persons as ottorneys
fees without rendering service there
for.
He represented an Indian known
as Peavine Johnny and another,
who were partners in the Clifford
property which has become the
property OF j. c. Mccormack. The
Indian was the original locator of
the property. 1t is alleged that
when the holdings changed hands,
Peavine Johnny was not given his
share. He began suit for the re-
covery of his share. which before it
came to trial was compromised. The
kmoney which was to have been
given the Indian is alleged to have
been placed in the hands OF Ford,
who was the attorney for the other
parties. He is said to have pocket
ed the money. 1t is in connection
with this transaction that Ford will
have to face a jury.
EUTu IS Il DIblHeI vi llltg L.
Ford of San Francisco, who has
figured quite prominently in the
graft cases which have been going
on in San Francisco for some time.
After leaving Tonopah and before
his actions had come to the knowl-
edge of the Indian and the others
concerned in the negotiations, Ford
went to California, taking up his
residence in Berkeley. A warrant
was issued for his arrest, which was
served upon the man in California.
Ford did not wave the usual legal
requirements necessary in the extra
dition OF a person from one state to
another, but, on the other hand,
bitterly fought his return to this
state. However, he was unsuccess-
full in his fight and was brought to
Tonopah to plead to the charge
lodged against him. He was re-
leased upon bonds.

expenditure of money in the open
ing up process. The leasers are
highly satisfied with what they have
to start on, as the surface indica-
lions are all that could be asked
for.
Shorty" Cooper was in from the
camp yesterday. He and his part
ner, Jim Nagle, have one of the best
leases up to this time in the camp.
They have uncovered ore in their
workings which shows gold in en-
c%ouraging quantities. They are To-
Gated quite close to the main strike,
though the finds which have been
made on their leasehold would be
taken to indicate the continuity of
the vein system.
The work of the leasers has been
devoted principally up to this time
in trenching for the vein from which
comes the rich ore extracted by the
Cliffords and their associates. Many
of the leasers believe they have
found the ledge and are preparing
to at onc sink upon it.
Glendale seems to grow more in
: favor as the days pass. While the
camp has always held the confidence
I of those who have seer it, it re-
mains that many were at first In
clined to believe that the values
8 would pinch out. However, the op'
p erations there within the past two
: weeks have apparently proven tc
f the people generally that the values
t may be judged to continue indefln'
g itely at depth.

Brings Good Reports
From

G.. j. Blumenthal returned to Ton
opah yesterday from Glendale where
he has been the past few days look
ing over the lease in which he and
others are interested. He states that
the camp is looking we'll for it's
age and voices the opinion that 1t
will soon enjoy flush times.
The leasers for the most part
have gotten down to work, which
makes the camp take on the appear
anee of settling down to business.
He states that there r many prom
Using looking blocks of ground
which should open up into big prop
ositions once depth is attained.
The tuneI which is being driver
on the North Star property, the or
iginal find, is in the hill in thu
neighborhood of thirty feet. 1t i
estimated that the bore will have t,
be driven about twenty feet furthe
before the vein is tapped. Thi
tunnel will intercept the ledge at
vertical depth of fifty feet beneatI
the surface.
One thing that particularly al
tracted the attention of Mr.. Blum
enthal was the splendid spirits c
the leasers. Among the numbe
working there, not one is OF tn
pessimistic class. Each believes b
will hit the ledge and open u
shoots of ore that will pay hant
somely. On nearly all the blocks {
ground which have been given OF
to leases, the showings warrant tt

take charge of it. 1t is likely the
remains will also be shipped to Cali
fornia.
AS a result of the disaster, a pail
hangs over Manhattan. The people
are terribly grief-stricken. When
the news of the accident reached the
people, they closed up their places
of business and all lent willing
hands to the work of rescuing the
bodies from the watery stump.
