ASKS COURT
FOR permission TO
MAKE SURVEY

GOLDFIELD, Nov. Yesterday
there was an application filed in
court on the part of the Round
Mountain Red Top Mining company
and the Round Mountain Sphinx
Mining company for the privilege of
making a survey of the underground
workings of the Sunnyside mine.
The case is set for hearing Monday,
November s. Speaking of this mat
ter, Mr.. Lotus said: ''The Round
Mountain Mining company in its
work of development has ever been
most careful to preserve and act
within its established property
rights.
"The matter now brought before
the public for the first time, is not
new proposition to the Round
Mountain Mining company manage
ment. Overtures have been made
to the company for the purchase of
both the Sphinx and Red Top prop
critics from time to time, which
overtures have extended over a per-
iod of a year or more; but nothing
having come of it, this questionable
move has been made.
Minor stockholders, not familiar
with mine conditions, need feel nc
serious concern for the ultimate re-
suits"

MINER FALLS DEAD AS
HE STRIKES 1T rich

LEADVILLE, Colo, Nov. s.
Charles Halverson, an old-time pros
pector, dropped dead today shortly
after being taken to the county hos
pital. Two days ago the old man
was digging prospect holes in the
back yard of his home on the out
skirts of the city.
A physician had told Halverson
to quit work, as his heart was weak.
Halverson insited on continuing,
and asked the doctor to have some
samples of the ore he had found
assayed The rock carried 2 ounces
of gold.
The doctor returned to the pros
pector's cabin last night and found
the old man helpless in bed. He
was removed to the county hospital
and died today. 1t is understood
that the claim on which Halverson's
cabin is located belongs to the Eli
Mining company. Halverson was go
years old, and has a brother living
in Denver.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Nov. s.
AS the new battleship North Dakota
was completing a four hour endur-
ance run at a 21-knot gait off the
New England coast today, with the
battleship speed championship of
America almost within her grasp, a
boiler room accident robbed her of
her laurels and sent her scurrying
into port to land four injured men.
The ship, nevertheless, exceeded
the contract requirement of 21
knots an hour by making 21.71 for
the first two hours, 21.64 in the
third hour, and 21 knots fiat as she
hurried, on the fourth hour, into
this port. The four injured men

John Souden, coal passer; A. Peter

GOLOF|ELD ELKS
MAY BURY Wife Of
Webb PARKINSON

1t is understood that with the ar
rival of Mrs. Theresa Murphy, sister
Of Mrs. Webb H. Parkison, the
Goldfield lodge of Elks will make
known it's willingness to take charge
of the funeral services, bury the re-
mains in the Elks' plot, and to de-
fray all expenses, says the Gold
field Tribune. 1t remains to the
credit of the local herd that their
hearts, hands and pocketbooks are
all ready to participate in this last
service which marks the closing
chapter in Goldfield's most terrible
tragedy.
The fact that the lodge is willing
to extend it's help in this direction
is worthy the commendation OF
every reasonable thinking citizen,
and is sufficient to bring to the
mind of the reader most forcibly the
remarks of the principal speaker at
the service held over the remains
of the deceased broker, who called
attention to the fact that it was not
the purpose of. that body to empha-
size the expression that the "evil
men do lives after them" ETC., but
to bring to the notice of the world
that in this and similar cases
was one of the magnificent tenets OF
the Elks, that not alone should the
good live after those who shall pass
away, but whatever of bad there
might have been Shall be forgotten
at the brink of the grave.

mistrust of Birchall had increased a
thousand fold and he CURLY refused to
move from where he was standing.
Birchall turned white, looked around
and stepped toward his companion.
AS he did so Pelly walked on. Birch
all called to him sharply: Come,
walk alongside me-" he said. Your
heavy overcoat will help keep the
rain off me-" Pelly shook his head
obstinately and was about to take to
his heels and run when two men came
walking across the bridge. Birchall
then ceased to argue with his COM
panion and the two made their way
back to Canada keeping several PAGES
apart. The next day Birchall, accom-
panied by his wife, went to Paris, On
tario, to view the body of the man
whose picture had appeared in the
papers and shortly after their return
to the Falls the arrest followed.
Murray cabled and wrote at once to
Scotland Yard, London, England, for
information about Birchall, Pelly and
Benwell He was advised that J. r.
Birchall was none other than the
younger son of the Rev. Joseph Bir-
chall, late well-known vicar of church
kirk and rural dean of Whalley. After
completing his course at Oxford, young
Birchall, who had achieved a reputa-
ton for wildness during his college
days, went to London. There he
eloped with Florence Stevenson,
daughter of David Stevenson, for SO
years master of transportation of the
London and Northwestern railroad.
Birchalls favorite club at this time,
November, 1888, was the Badminton
club, 100 Picadilly, w. When he
made ready to leave England after his
marriage, he cashed cheques for e25
at the Badminton club, and G..
Stewart Sproat, secretary of the club,
wrote him on January Z, 1890, when
he was back in England, to send the
cash without further delay.
He and his bride sailed for America
in the fall of 1888. They wrote to
David Stevenson from America, and
early in 1889 Birchall wrote from
Woodstock, Ontario, to creditors at
