Al. MYERS OPENS FIGHT
FOR CONTROL OF JOHNNIE

AL. Meyers and T. A. johnson have
issued a circular to the stockholders
of the Johnnie Mining and Millisg coin
pany asking for proxies and a petition
is being circulated, accord;s2 to the
signers of the circular, to be presented
to directors asking a special stoeShoid-
ers' meeting, at which time an effort
will be made to remove the present
directors and officers and INSTALL new
ones from the ranks of the old Johnnie
Consolidated shareholders, those who
exchanged stock in the old company for
that in the present Johnnie.
The circular charges the recent
change in management was Thought
about by directors "ambitious TO be-
come officers and managers Of \ sue
cessful mine," the minority because
of a death of one director having a
temporary majority on the boarl
The resignation of Meyers and John
son in May, so the circular states, was
not voluntary. 1t was demanded by
aspiring directors.
1t is asserted that some of the d.
~rectors nave never visited the niuc and
possess no mining experience.
1t is alleged that in the recent sale
of $4,000 shares of treasury stock noLe
was offered to stockholders, whose
shares stand them anywhere from 10
cents to 81 a share, they having ex-
changed Johnnie Consolidated costing
from l to 10 cents a share, at the rate
of ten shares of the old for one of
the new. These stockholders, the cir
cular asserts, would nave been glad to
have evened up by purchasing at the
10-cent price, particularly as the money
was to go into the treasury for mill i'm.
provement.
The argument is made that the time
IS not propitious for sale of stock and
general bad management is suggested.
Some of the present directors are
charged with selling their stock while
advising shareholders not to sell, and
this, it is asserted, has caused the
market to tumble.

NATURAL SOAP WILL VIE
WITH HIGH GRADE ROCK

At the Mineral Palace the milling
ores from the various sections of the
state are practically all in place, the
consignment from Rhyolite being in
stalled today in a conspicuous place.
Rhyolite mining men have taken a
keen interest in the work of getting
together a worthy exhibit, as shown by
the array of rock put in place.
The consignments of high grade are
being waited upon and within a few
days the big white cabinet will receive
2 lot of precious rock the like OF which
was never gathered together in this or
any other state in the union.
While the palace now contains almost
everything in the regular mineral line
there is one little exhibit that is eA
tremely odd and that is one of natural
soap, coming from a mine of such ma
terial in Elko county, owned by }. A.
Yerington. 1t is notified, as is CASTLE
soap, and has all the qualities, save
odor, of the manufactured article.
Regarding the natural soap the fol-
lowing has been spoken in it's praise by
one who says he knows:
"We nave enough natural soap 70
wash all the soiled linen of our "
state. w can wash out any state or
national blotch which may he placed on
orr es%cutcheon. We could run a nation
al laundry if it became necessary. A
man in Nevada has no occasion to 60
dirty. As soon as the mine is a lit
tie more fully developed we shall lay
claim to being the c~leanest state in
the Union.
ssThis SOAP fathers with ease, and
the children in the vicinity play with
soap bubbles instead of dolls. The
soap in this wonderful mine is I'M
bedded tht&e as ~compactly as blue
clay. You know this enthusiastic
citizen went on to say, that in Flor
ida they have a tree the bark of which
when it is dried makes good towels.
In fact it is called the towel tree. |
expect as soon as the soap mine is more
fully developed a company will be
formed which will transplant the Flor
ida towel trees to Nevada and then
we will invite the nations of the earth
to move out to Nevada and get wash
ed And then he added in a dry
way, maybe we shall change the motto
of the state
s.To whatf'' was asked.
".While there's life there's soap,
or something of that kind"

An American, DR.. Frederick A. Cook,
has captured the honor for which
daring spirits for centuries have sac
rificed life and limb. That magic point
known as the north pole has finally
been located by man, and the quest of
ages is at an end.
The story of explorations Is re-
cital of dire adventure and tragedies
which runs back 1000 years to the
time when the Irish monk, Dicuil, with
a number of his clerical brothers,
sailed as far north as Iceland and
found, as the writings of Dicuil state,
that there was no darkness in Iceland
during the summer solstice
But long before the ninth century
the ancients, according to Phtheas, had
a Legendary knowledge of a far north
ern island known as Thule. And in
the first book of his translation of Or
osius, King Alfred told of the first voy-
ages for discovery made by Other and
Wulfstan. While the localities men,

terested, and should SO feel it, i'm the
obejct for, which this association was
organized. The first timing the assO-
citations aims at is the real body COM
fort and health of the young people
who spend nearly all their working
hours i'm the schoolrooms, and the
next thing to be foStered is the beau
tifying and adjoining of the building
and ground for the refining effects.
To carry out these valuable adjuncts,
money lis needed. No matter what
be the expense, if properly applied,
NO one will live to regret it.
The Baptist church here had two
fine sermons delivered by Rev. w. S.
Allen, of Utica, last Sunday. At the
close of the might service, Rev. Allen
was invited to be pastor OF the
church, preaching here two Sundays
in the month till January NEXT. He
accepted to the great qualification
of the people. No call has yet been
extended for pastor for 1910. This
will be attended to very early.
Star gazers Tuesday might Witnessed
an attractive scene i'm the clear cas-
tern sky. Lieutenant Mars and Miss
September Luna were CONSPICUOUS for
their beauty and smiling counten-
ances as they emerged side by side
about four feet apart from the horl-
zon. Although Miss Luna was super
abuntantly the larger, and 1t. Mars
apparently so diminutive, the two
looked extremely happy and brlght-
sparkling, yes sparkling, as they
wendell their way to Zenith-perhaps
ON a wedding tour of the very heav-
ems. Wednesday might we shall see
if the twain had quarreled and agreed
to seperate for good as many teTres-
tial mortals are doing these days.

sledge and boat, using ship from
Spitzbergen, scene of his later at
tempts by balloon flight. His vessel,
the Ragnvald Jarl, was crushed by
foes, May %, 1894, at Walden Island.
He continued north by sledge after
the wreck occurred. He was obliged
to abandon the attempt six miles from
Platen island, near the eighty-first par
alleL His second expedition was in
1889, when he penetrated Franz Jo-
sef Land. He had raised the funds for
the expedition without assistance. His
ship was the Frithjof, Norwegian
vessel.
In 1899 the ship Of the duke Of
Abruzzi touched at Franz Josef Land
and Wellman, as the first settler, well
coined the duke. Then, in 1906, Well
man was prepared to start in his first
attempt to reach the pole in dirigible
balloon. Atmospheric conditions were
such as to make a start impracticable.

fered a reward of 100000 sterling to
anyone making the northwest passage,
and $4,000 for reaching SO degrees

Two years later, in 1917, two expedi-
tons set out, one by way of Spitz-
bergen, the other by Baffin's bay. The
Dorothea and the Trent, on the Spitz-
bergen route, were commanded by
Capt. David Buchen and Lieut. John
Franklin. The other expedition was
in charge of Capt. John Ross and
Lieut.. Edward Parry. Neither expe-
dition was a success. In 1927 Parry
on his third voyage made his historic
dash for the pole from Spitzbergen by
sledge boats and reached latitude 80
degrees and AZ minutes.
In 1916 Sir John Franklin made his

He started, however, year later, but
was forced to halt. Again last month
he started, but the accident to his bal
loon forced him again to relinquish the
project. He announced then that he
would try again.
In 1897 Andree and two companions
left Danes island from point only a
few hundred yards from Walter Well
mans camp in an attempt to reach the
pole by balloon. 1t was not a dirigible
balloon and the hope of the explorers
was that the winds would blow it up
to the pole. The last seen of the bal
loon it was drifting out over the
Barents sea, and since then nothing
has been heard of it nor has a trace
been found.
