BIRCH AGAIN
To ANSWER FOR
COURT CONTEMPT

Joe Birch, who was recently fined
81 and costs by the district court
for violating an order of the court
made many years ago, is again up
for the same offense He has been
cited to appear and show cause why
he should not be again fined for
contempt for violating the most re-
cent mandate of the court, it being
alleged that he failed to take cog
nizance of Judge AverilPs ruling.
The Duckwater problem is far
from being solved. The matter of
the appropriation and misappropri-
alton of the waters of the creek is
again to be aired in the district
court. The Twins have filed a suit
agains Tognoni, in which nearly
every resident of that section will
be compelled to come to this city
and testify. This matter comes up
early next month.
Since the Ely boom the produce
of the Duckwater country is in
great demand. 1t is a fertile local
ity, the waters of Duckwater creek
providing irrigation for thousands
of acres of the finest land in the
state. Cattle raising is receiving a
great deal of attention with the re-
suit that land which a few years
ago was worth but little is now
quoted at a large figure per acre.
Fruits are grown in abundance and
are the very finest. Duckwater pro-
duce is in demand in the northern
camps. The farmers there are MAX
Ing fortunes. 1t is because of the
money to be made in that section
that has caused the ranchers there
to get into squabbles over the own
ership of water.

PRISONER ROBS
Two DEPUTIES
RELIEVES EVIDENCE AND AN
OFFICERS ROLL FROM
OVERCOAT.

GOLDFIELD, July 23.-The as
sistant district attorney returned
yesterday from Hawthorne, where,
during the day previous, he prose
cuted a charge of burglary against
one James Gates, the examination
being a preliminary one. Justice
Mccarthy took the matter under ad-
visement.
A peculiar state of affairs existed
in the case. Gates, after the burg
larizing the home of Miss Title
Drum in Hawthorne, and the max
ing away with 500 or more in cash
and some valuable jewelry, was
brought under suspicion, but not to
jail, for the reason he had left
camp. He was traced to Aurora by
Deputy Sheriff AL Jones and taken
into custody, together with a part of
the missing jewelry and some coin.
The wagon in which the officer
and prisoner returned to Hawthorne
was driven by James Inman. The
driver wore big black overcoat,
and Jones deposited the jewelry in
one of the pockets. Inman also
carried about $25 of his own money
in the pocket.
During the tiresome ride the pris-
oner managed to reach the pocket
and lift its contents while it's owner
and the officer were all unaware.
He threw the jewelry away and
later was found attempting 70 bury
the money.
The driver and officer were much
chagrined when they discovered that
a man in their custody could com
NIT second offense and they be
the victims. The absence of the
jewelry, which Gould not be found,
weakened the case of the prosecu-
ton.

An almost new set of jurors fills
the box in the Ford case. Yesterday
nearly all of the former ones were
excused by counsel The examina-
ton of the gentlemen who have
been called upon to give reasons
why they should not be compelled
to try the case, continues to drag
along. At the present rate of speed
it will be many days before a jury
is selected that will be satisfactory
for both sides.
There was nothing of moment
yesterday to occur which would
prove of public interest. Questions
hypothetical in nature were pro-
pounded by both counsel for the
state and counsel for the defend
ant.

TONOPAH Mining
COMPANY HAS NOT
MADE STRIKE

Mr. A. NJ. Pennington Of the
Mining and Financial Bulletin con-
tributes an article to that shea1 on
the 18th instant which states that
the Tonopah Mining company has
u acc the most important dis ,overy
that has been made in this camp
fer the past year. He says that i'll
a Ninze the company has been sink
ing erGm the 500 to the 700 level
a vein has been cut carrying high
grade GRE, returning large values.
AS a matter of fact the article is
far from the truth of the story. He
was Informed that there was no
Wine being sunk from the 600 to
The 700-foot level. The only work
that is being done below the 600
level is in the shaft. There is no
vein below that depth carrying the
values stated in the article of Mr..
Pennington so far as the officials
OF the company at this place are
aware. 1t is just another case of
space filling with stories made from
whole cloth. Mr.. Pennington's ar
ticle follows:
"A very important strike has
been made by the Tonopah Mining
company which as yet is known to
only a few of the officers. 1t is
probably the most important dis
covery made in the camp for the
past year. In winze the company
has been sinking from the 600 to
the 700 level a vein has been cut
carrying nine feet of high grade
ore, which, according-to the mine
samples, assays as follows: Across
one foot, $1966.40; the next four
feet, 1854. This is the deepest
point at which the Tonopah Mining
company has opened a pay ore body,
and, while it is not definitely
known that 1t is in the dacite for
nation, which has heretofore prov
en- barren, but in which every en-
ergy is being bent to find the fault
ed veins. the depth at which the ore
is found would indicate that it is in
that rock. If this be the case, it is
the best news that has come to
Tonopah for a long period. In any
case, it is discovery which prob
ably means great deal to the
mine. The company's earnings dur
ing June were $4,000 net, about
equal to former months, notwith-
standing that the mill operations
were suspended four days by inter
ruption of the electric current. The
cash reserves of the company are
placed at $1,378,366.60."

tan, or as much thereof as the COM
pany can secure. The incorpora-
tors plan systematic development
of the ground already under its
control and expects to make the
purchase Of shares in the corpora
ton a profitable investment.

PASSES AWAY At
