All Honor to Clarence Mackay

fT<HIS was a great week with the State University at Reno for tba+
institution has as its guest Clarence Mackay, who has become
It's generous patron and who has formally turned over to the
university a $4,000 athletic field which he has provided. Only six
months or more ago, Mr.. Mackay turned over to the institution a
splendid building, erected at his expense and dedicated to the 50 Of
the mining department of the university. At the same time was un.
yelled statue to his ilustrious father, John w. Mackay, one Of the
Big Four, who made his millions out Of the Comstock, and whose
son is now giving OF his means to the advancement of Nevada,s one
great educational institution, in gratitude to the state which bequeath-
ed him his fortune.
Clarence Mackay is the one senous-minded son Of the Comstock
who has made good with the fortune that was left him. This for
tune did not ruin him as it did the sons Of all the other bonanza
kings, nor did 1t make Clarence Mackay what he is, for he has the
splendid traits OF character, the industry, application and breadth Of
comprehension that would make any man successful, even with the
humblest beginning. The promptings that have lead him to return to
Nevada with noble gifts for a noble purpose, are to his great credit
and Mackay is the one name connected with the Comstock that viii
live longer in the memory Of Nevada than all the others.

Propaganda Of Lies

conspirators in the east headed by the George Graham Rice
syndicate of publications, engaged in a propaganda against
: the Goldfeld Consolidated Florence, Fraction and all other
Goldfeld properties, have singled out the Goldfeld News as the par
ticular object Of their attack, the object being to undermine The
News in the estimation Of the eastern public and thus discredit the
reports published in this paper from time to time about these mines.
lThe Weekly News is known throughout the mining world as the
most trustworthy news medium covering Goldfeld and Nevada
mines published anywhere. 1t has been regarded as an unquestioned
authority on Goldheld mining and its news columns have always
been above suspicion. The News has always been independent and
unpreiudiced in it's treatment Of all mining propositions. There are
no strings on The News and never have been, q s everyone IN
Goldfeld knows. 1t has been conducted as a straight, legitimate
newspaper proposition. 1t has no business connections, deals or
understandings with any Goldfed mining companies; owns none Of
their stocks and is under no obligations OF any kind whatsoever to
any of the companies. Even the printing of the Consolidated and
Fraction, which properly might come to The News in consideration
for the yeoman work that has been done by this paper for the camp
of Goldfed, goes to an opposition paper heavily mortgaged to a
high officer Of the Goldfeld Consolidated; and naturally, The News
would not be unduly influenced in favor of the Consolidated COM
bination O this ground, as it is not on others. But in order to I'M
dermine The News and destroy its influence with its large eastern
clientage, the report has been insiduousy and ndustriously spread
throughout the eastern mining public that The News is the pub
licity agent of the Godfeld Consolidated Mines company and
therefore it's news reports on the mine are inspirsd, paid for and not
to be credited.
The animus of all this is well known in Golfeld, but unfortun-
atav moi so well known throughout the mining world, and many peo-
pie are being duped by the Rice crowd which Includes the Mining
Financial News (house organ and market letter., Scheftel 4 Co.,
and other brokerage houses that are in on the frame up Shelf
tells & Co. is only another name for George Graham Rice, Nat 9.
Goodwin Co. etc. Rice is sore on Gold6eld and all Gold6eld
stock. especially the Wing6eld stocks, is short II them and never
cease their hammering; and in order to further his bear campaign
on these stocks it has been found necessary to cuttle The News
which, from week to week, publishes the facts about Goldfeld prop
critics These facts for some time have been extremely bulish on Con-
soidsted. especially ever since the opening of the Hampton stope and
the subsequent Developments in the Clermont shaft. This has set the
Rice syndicate wild and their papers and market letters have been
redhesded on The News, scouting and ndiculing its stories and char
acterizing its editor a 3 the Chief OF the Consohd&eds Publicity
bureau" etc.

Path6nders Of Nevada

~ HE success of Goldfeld men in Ely is another exemnl;Hoo+;or
of the old "Goldfeld way"
Rickard, Elliot, Meyers and Colburn may not have been
born in Goldfeld may not have grown up in Goldfeld, and NAV have
had business experience before Goldfeld was ever thought Of, but
Goldfeld developed these men, gave them the dash and daring the
keen perception and ability to think and act quick. They had their
training in this camp. Some Of them won and lost, but thew learned
to keep their nerve; with eyes open, they knew there were other op.
portunities, which when seen, needed only to be grasped. These on.
portunities are plentiful in Nevada and open to every ~ and
altertness gained in Gold6ed has put many a Godfeld man to the
front in other camps.
Goldfeld men are the ~path-6nders of Nevada.
The making out of its dividend checks seems to be the greatest
trouble the Consolidated has in paying its million dollar quarterly
dividend. Usually the drawing of checks is the least worry a man has.
To have them cashed is what keeps him awake at night.
The way the hammers are working overtime in New York would
indicate that there lis an organised conspiracy to keep Consolidated
stock down and eventually land the control in the east.

The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-10-30

We trust we have not done Mr.. Bedford an injury by printing
this, for it will undoubtedly come to the attention OF George Graham
Rice, and Mr.. Bedford will at once be charged with having sold out
to the Consolidated and joined their staff OF hired publicity
agents. The Consolidated must have taken on a large number OF
employees in this department during the Mining Congress week, for
similar laudatory reports have been printed in the home papers OF
many a returning visitor.
Whatever effect this campaign against Consolidated may have
upon the stock, does not concern The News in the least, but we are
concerned about the standing of this paper throughout the mining
world for the reliability of its news reports. This paper has built
up a reputation during the four years of its present management
second to none in its particular field; and George Graham Rice may
Hood the country with his baleful literature and it will not affect
this papers standing among the intelligent and wel-adyised public.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-10-30

en- printing about the Consolidated is true but the facts are SO
lnding that the east cannot comprehend them and is ready to |
to the reports that The News has been "doped up" We
I'd therefore, to be able to publish corroberative reports from
.erested people from the outside who have recently visited the Q
idated and told what they saw to outside papers. The Salt La
raid Republican in its issue of October 26, printed the follow
VS. story in its mining department, given by one, L. Z. Bedfo
10, apparently, was in Goldfeld during the Mining Congress
10 was permitted to examine the Consolidated. Who Mr.. Bedf
we do not know, but we do know that he is an intelligent obser'
d in his report in the Salt Lake paper, he verifes to an nicely
most favorable reports The News has had on the Developments
Clermont shaft-the Hampton stope at that time not being Of
account of the recent cave. The article in question says:
Zone Of the few outsiders who have been per-
mitted to gaze upon the riches of the recent great
strike in the Clermont shaft Of the Goldfeld Con-
solidated company, L. E. Bedford, who arrived
home yesterday from Goldfeld, confirms the best
reports which have come concerning the magnitude
of the showing.
"while he did not personally sample the ore
body, Mr.. Bedford said that he inspected it care
fully; he was shown the assay sheets of the mine
sampling, and he declared that the statement that
the company has on the 750foot level of the Cler-
mont workings a width of 81 feet OF ore which
averages 1000 a ton is not an exaggeration. The
drift which has been run 80 feet on the strike of
the vein is onehalf in the foot wall rock and the
other half in ore, and he says that the entire face
averages 81, $50 a ton. He brought home a sample
of the extremely high grade rock, which is so thor
oughly permeated with gold that when polished it
will make a handsome piece of jewelry.
ssThe crosscut on the $50 level was just getting
into the ore shoot, and its face showed values of
$500 and $500 a ton. A drift is being run for it on
the 1.OOO-foot level. The ore body has not been
opened elsewhere in the company's ground, it is be-
lieved. 1t is evidently an entirely new resource, a
remarkable vault of near-gold with 1000 feet of
stopping ground. 1t is the greatest depth at which
ore has been opened in the district and the ex-
treme richness of the Clermont ore at that depth
dissipates all fears that the values do not go
down. On the other hand, it indicates that the
ore bodies are becoming even larger and richer at
depth.
sAfter seeing the showing in the Clermont shaft,
Mr.. Bedford is prepared to believe that Goldfeld
Consolidated will for many years remain the larg-
est dividend paying gold mining company in the
world"

Accident Sends
Walter Webb
to Hospital

Walter Webb, a we'll known steam
shovel man at Copper Flat, was bad
ly hurt yesterday morning when the
wall alongside his machine suddenly
slipped and he was caught under the
edge of the fall of tons of ore and
overburden.
He vas brought to East Ely hos
pital yesterday afternoon. his wife
and DIR. Lew Wallace accompanying
him. At the hopital he was reported
late last night as resting as easily as
could be expected. Report in circu-
lation around East Ely that he had
died was promptly denied and the
statement added that confidence was
felt that he would recover
Mr.. Webb's injuries consist of two
broken ribs, a fractured arm and pos
sibly internal hurts. AS to the lat
ter it will require a couple of days
time before positive declaration can
be made. When taken from under
the slip he was suffering much pain,
but after attention at the mine Of
flee of DR.. Wallace was much easier
and last night was resting with the
maximum of comfort possible under
the circumstances.
A remarkable coincidence in con-
nection with the accident yesterday
is contained in the fact that at al
most the same minute of the day
precisely four months ago MI. Webb
was the victim of a similar accident
at Copper Flat, on that occasion sus-
tanning a broken leg, with which he
was confined at East Ely hospital for
some weeks, being taken there on
July 16 on the same train which
brought him down yesterday after
noon, November Is.

Posse Pursues
Negroes to
TdkeLiveS

SUTTON, w. Va, Nov. 75.-Two
organized parties of men are tonight
securing the hills of this country,
searching for two negroes believed to
have aided Charles Lewis, also a
negro, in a dastardly assault upon
Mrs. Mary Lockhold, wife of a pros
porous farmer, near the small settle
ment of Exchange. If the negroes
are caught lynching is certain.
Lewis, the only known member or
the party of three thought to have
been implicated in the deed, is dead,
having been shot and killed by a
posse of men late today, while en-
deavoring to escape near this place.
According to Deputy Sheriff Will
Jams, the three negroes late last
night went to the home of George
Lockhold, living but a few miles
from this place, and after tying the
farmer to a tree and whipping him
on his bare back with willow switch
es, attempted an assault upon Mrs.
Lockhold. Persons who happened to
be passing Lockhold farm heard the
screams of the woman and the
negroes fed at the approach of the
passers by.
A posse of farmers was organized
within a short space of time and after
q 24-hour hunt, Lewis, n of the
supposed trio of negroes was appre-
hended. As he turned to fee from
his pursuers after being ordered to
throw up his hands, he was shot and
instantly killed.
Late tonight news reached here
that one of the pursuing posses had
surrounded the two missing negroes
in a swamp near the seem of the
crime. The courier who brought the
news of the imminent apprehension
of the men said l~ynching could not be
averted If if they wer, caught alive.

came to America recently to marry
the other.
Michael Brunilda, the second lover
followed. He traced the couple, Mr..
and Mrs. Vincent Fairdnice, from
Brooklyn where they were married
on the girls arrival, to West Virgin1t
where the husband went to work In
the mines. Today the old sweet
heart found the girl he had loved IN
the home of her husband and fired
at her, the bullet entering her
breast.
The woman seized her husbands
pistol and fired at Brunilda, wound
ing himjust as her husband entered
door. The latter took the piston
from his wife's hand and killed
Brunilda, firing shot after shot into
him as he died.

ORDERS SYRIAN NATURALIzED
State Court Overrules Federal Con.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1.-THE
right of a native Syrian to become a
citizen of the United States was up
held today by Judge Hutton in the
Superior Court of Los Angeles coun-
ty against the efforts of the Federal
authorities.
The court ruled that a Syrian was
not a Monaghan, but of the Aryan
race, and hence could not be barred
from citizenship. The government
will appeal to the federal courts, hav-
ing commended that George Shish-
him, a Syrian born in Lebanon, owed
allegiance to Turkey and hence
should be classed as a Monaghan.
