Nevada Omaha Mining Company Con-
tinues Development Work-Man-
ager Believes District Will
Become Big Producer

GOLDFIELD, Nov. 1S.-Capt. e. S.
Weatherly, one of the heaviest stock
holders in the Cherokee lease on At
lanta ground, and who is character
we'll known to the government of the
country, arrived in Goldfeld yesterday
from Bannock.
The captain is interested in the de-
velopment of the ground controlled by
the Nevada omaha company's ground,
where the richest find thus far has
been made, and which really is respon-
sible for the excitement concerning
that part of the country. He said last
night that he believed that eventually
the district would turn out to be the
richest in the state, and exhibited ore
which would make the oldest timer sit
UP and take notice. 1t bore the free
gold throughout, and was of charac-
ter which, according to Captain
Weatherly, may be expected to last
indefinitely in the course of the pros
pecting work.
Discussing the situation at the new
camp, Captain Weatherly said that
thus far on the company ground they
had entered at a depth of thirty-three
feet the continuation of the rich
streak from which the first body of ore
has been taken, and which gave the
district it's first public notoriety.
The streak which was opened up on
the surface has been followed to this
depth, with the result that here a vein
eighteen inches wide has been encoun-
tered, through the center of which runs
streak two inches wide, samples
shown last night, and said to come
from this property, yielding in the vi
cinity of S1S0,000 to the ton.
Regarding the extension of the ore
shoot being developed by the parent
company, it was said that there was
not the slightest doubt about the con-
tinuation of the shoot and that there
was only a meager question as to the
direction which is taken by the pay
streak after it leaves the property of
the Nevada Omaha. Mr.. Weatherly is
of the opinion that there will be other
rich strikes made in the vicinity of the
original one, and figures that within
the next week or two there will be
ample proof offered to show that tho
claims made for the property in the
first instance were not based on hot
air.

Woods Begins Work on
Blue Bird Group

II. E. Woods, president of the Tom
Reed Extension mining company at
Gold Road, Arizona, has returned from
camp with the report that everything
is on the hum in that section. The
new mill of the Cold Road company,
he was informed, is working nicely,
and the Tom Reed is rapidly getting
things in shape at their new plant
in the meanwhile operating the ten
stamp mill from which they have had
such good results.
As he was leaving camp Mr.. Woods
was informed by w. II. Tremaine, who
operates the Needles-Parker auto line,
that he is putting on a daily auto
from Needles to Oatman, which is the
principal camp of the San Francisco
district, in which the Gold Road
mines are located. The auto will leave
daily Immediately after the arrival Of
the Santa Fe train from Los Angeles,
and will return in time to catch the
west-bound train in the evening. This
will be of especial advantage to Los
Angeles people, who are widely inter-
ested in that district. Mr.. Woods was
not informed as to whether the auto
would go on to Gold Road camp, but
was of the opinion that it would when
ever it had passengers for that local
ity.
Mr. Wood leaves tonight for the
California Hills mine. where he is in
stalling a hoist and will continue sink
ing, the plan being to install mill
at the mine whenever sufficient ore
shall have been developed. He will
also start work on the Blue Bird, Blue
Bird No. and Iron Horse claims
which are on a ledge parallel to the
California Hills. From that camp he
will return to Gold Road to finish up
some business matters.

R. H. Barnes, Life Member
of Hook & Ladder Com
pany, Badly Injured,
CAUGHT BETWEEN
DOOR AND THE TRUCK
Taps Sounded from Box 82,
but No Blaze Could
Be Found.

r. Henry Barnes, of 146 Rector
street, a life member of Protection
Hook & Ladder Company, was badly
injured last night as the truck was
leaving the house to respond to an
alarm from box 50 at Smith and
Herbert streets shortly after 6
O'Clock.
Mr.. Barnes was inside the house
when the doors swung open and the
apparatus started out He jumped
for the side step, and in some way
got caught between the north side OF
the door and the apparatus. He was
besides being badly squeezed, hurled
to the ground where, in a bruised
and bleeding condition some of his
fellow members picked him up and
carried him to the floor above. The
truck continued with few members
aboard to the fire box.
The injured fireman was taken a
few minutes later to the Office of Dr.
James Stafford, where an examina
tion showed that he had been badly
hurt, although no broken bones were
found. DR.. F. G. Henry was also
called and assisted in treating the
injured man.
A deep cash on the left side OF
his head, back of the ear, required
six or eight stitches and there were
contusions on the back of his right
hand. Numerous bruises about his
body were found and his right foot
was injured. DR.. Stafford said this
morning that his patient was resting
comfortably, although he said he
felt sore all over. The muscle which
held back the left ear was also sew
cred by the accident. but this, the
doctor says, will probably grow to-
gether again.
When the flremen arrived at box
so they found it open but no one
there. AS the glass In the key box
was also broken. It is believed that
someone turned in false alarm, as
no blaze could be located in the
neighborhood by the firemen.
Mr.. Barnes's injuries will confine
him to the house for some time, but
1t is not believed that they will re
suit seriously.
