SALISBURY WASH PUZZLES
ALL WHO VISIT DISTRICT

A camp of unusual richness has been
discovered at Salisbury Wash,' about
30 miles east of Tonopah, or else ei.
gantic mining fake is being framed up,
to be sprung during the next three
weeks. This is an analogous statement,
but the mining editor of The News, aft
er personal visit to the scene of the
new excitement, which he made by auto
Sunday, is compelled to admit that lie
sonally, however, he is inclined, by
force of circumstances, to hesitate to
take the alleged strike as bona fide
The reasons for this statement are
several and palpable, but it may be pos
sible that this early Judgment is prema
ture, although strenuous effort was
made to get at the exact facts of the
ease, but without success.
For the past two weeks mysterious re-
ports have been in circulation in Tono-
pah, and have reached Goldfeld, that
an exceedingly rich strike has been
made at Salisbury Wash by the Cliff
fords, who discovered the camp of Cliff
ford, or Helena, and who have been the
pioneers in several other new mining
districts Conflicting statements have
been made regarding the Importance of
the discovery, some being that camp
of fair promise had been opened, and
others that the ore, in huge chunks,
gold An air of mystery has been
thrown around the whole affair, and all
attempts to make a personal investiga-
tion are parried by the Cliffords and
others in the camp, so that nothing def
mite can be learned.
Truth Is Concealed.
eve We got the real stuff, but we are
not ready to show it to anyone for the
next three weeks,'' is the best informa
tion that can be obtained from the
Cliffords or anyone else on the ground.
And you have to be satisfied with
that.
Leaving Tonopah by auto with par
ty of mining men Sunday morning at
6 o'clock, we made the trip to SAILS
bury Wash in record breaking time. The
camp is about a mile off from the main
road to Stone Cabin and Golden Arrow,
and near what is called "Sugar Loaf =
peak. Arrived at camp, we found
settlement of four tents and house,
the latter being new structure erect
ed by the Cliffords. There were seven
or eight men in sight, but none of them
seemed to have anything more import
ant on his mind than just waiting
around,o until something turned up.
Everyone was num- so far as infor-
nation was concerned. Jim Clifford
was the only man who would do any
talking, and the situation was more un-
certain when he got through, than 1t
was before we left Tonopah.
"Yes, we we got the real stuff, = he
said, "but we won't show it to anyone
for three weeks yet. We ain t ready to
show it, because it S so rich that peo-
pie would be carrying it away. They
might carry off three or four thousand
pounds.
"Have you any of the ore that yor

=.
Rev. A. W. Spooner in an address at
the First Presbyterian Church yesterday
afternoon. declared that society is be-
coming in a shocking sense a gamblers
cesspool, and that it is just about as close
to perdition as one can get. The minister
was addressing a great audience, in which
the 100 who had promised to live like
Christ were included.
He also condemned card playing, thea
ters and dancing. This is the day when
It is fashionable to have appendicitis,
Dr. Spooner said. land I have heard that
the women of Pittsburg who want to get
into the 400 have first got to show that
they have undergone an operation for ap-
pendicitis. What is needed is treatment
for the great modern disease, the disease
that afflicts society, which is a lapse of
conscience. for it is the appendicitis that
ails society"
Speaking of dancing he said:> The ex-
planation of those who dance is that they
love the musical rhythm. The attraction
to the ordinary man is not musical
rhythm. 1t is physical contact he ex-
claimed. and then added: You can blush
if you want to. Perhaps you ought to
blush Liberties of the ballroom would
make a modest girl blush If taken any
where else. These are the things that at
tract the ordinary man.

foreign nation occupying an area less than
some of the states OF this country, a

a wise policy If the national government
would become extravagant and build a
navy that would command the respect not
only OF Japan, but of the world.

URGES DRASTIC ACTION.
Board of Children's Guardians Rec
ommends New Law,

The board of children's guardians has
recommended to the District Commission
ers that law be enacted making illegiti-
macy in this community a crime on the
part of the parents. This is the first time.
1t is said. that such a proposition has been
made officially. The recommendation is
in the hands of Commissioner Macfarland
and he is expected to soon make definite
recommendation on the subject to the
board of Commissioners. The question
may be discussed at the dependent chill
dren conference.
In it's recommendation the board of chill
dren's guardians says the evil of illegiti-
macy is on the increase in the District of
Columbia. 1t therefore urges that dras-
tic action be taken and that the offense
be made a criminal one.
