slips placed on the money when

around it.

Detective Wood. Attempts were
made to communicate with Whitla in

be located The man says that he
has been resident of Cleveland for

him prisoner had smallpox scars on
her face. The woman in custody has

to have had smallpox. She is tall
blonde. probably 25 years old.

wandered about the hotel lobby un-
announced for several minutes. asking
bellboys for his father, before the lat
ter knew his son was in the big foyer.
An attempt had been made to dis
guise the lad. He wore a pair of
smoked glasses and large tan cap
which was pulled down over his ears,
and the father said it would have
been difficult to have recognized the
boy in such garb had he passed him
on the street.
Whitla senior refused to state
whether he had paid the ransom or
not. He said that he received let
ter yesterday from the kdnapers at
his home in Sharon, saying that if he
called at a confectionery store in the
east end Of Cleveland he would be
: told how to secure his boy unframed
and well fed.''
Shortly after noon he left Sharon
for Cleveland. He was unaccompa-
MED. His immediate family and the
private detectives he had in his en-
ploy he appraised of the proposed Sc
cret meeting, but insisted that he
make the trip alone. Every one Of
them was warned that he must be al
lowed to go UNDECIDED and no attempt
at the capture of the kidnapers now
be made. Whitla was certain that If
he spoiled the plans of his sons cap
tors last night he would never see the
lad again. His experience at Ash
tabula served as warning.
About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
he went to a candy store in the East
End. With him he carried the $1O,-
600, expecting that 1t would be de-
manded Of him there. He met a
woman who dictated to him the terms
of the kidnapers With all the eager
ness of a distracted parent, Whftla
agreed to the terms Immediately. De-
tectives in his employ say that he
paid the money, but on this point the
father declines to commit himself
Half an hour later he returned to the
Hollenden and awaited developments
The agent of the kidnapers prom
ised that the boy should be started
toward the hotel shortly after night

COMPLAINT CHARGING
ATTEMPT TO DEFRAUD

United States Attorney Plat filed
a complaint with United States COM
missioner Edwards yesterday charg-
ing l.. L. Herr of Goldfeld, Nevada,
with a scheme to defraud by use of
the United States mails. Herr was
arrested at Goldfeld by Under
Sheriff Catalan and he Immediately
wired the United States attorneys
office. Inspector Swain Immediately
investigated and the complaint was
sworn to yesterday. The complaint
recites that Herr sent out a printed
circular to the different secretaries
of the Knights of Columbus in diff
ferent parts of the United States
representing to them that he owned
a property right next to the famous
Goldfeld Consolidated estate and
that he had opened up a ledge as
saying well in gold and glittering
with great possibilities. The secre-
tary of the Louisville, Kentucky,
lodge responded with a check of

MIDWAY EXHIBIT
WILL BE sent TO
Mining CONGRESS

The magnificent collection Of spec
linens belonging to the Midway mine
has been loaned to the American
Mining congress and will form one
of the handsome exhibits on display
when that body convenes in Cold
field September next.
Yesterday Branch Smith. one OF
the official collectors, reported that
he had secured permission to ship
the exhibit to Goldfeld. lie at once
set TO work arranging the same for
shipment. In all, the specimens will
weigh in the neighborhood OF 600
pounds, each being almost pure ruby
silver. 1t is estimated that the col
lection, all OF which was taken from
the Midway mine here, represents
a value of $1,000.
Tonopah is taking quite a lively
interest in the success of the forth
coming session of the congress al
Goldfeld. It realizes the importance
the visit of the mining men means
to the state in general and this local
ity in particular.
Charles f. Kapp, another official
collector, vas over from Goldfield
Sunday. He speaks in the highest
praise of the cooperation of the PEG.
pie generally are lending to the com
plete success of the meeting. Like
Mr.. Smith, he states that perhaps
never before in the history Of Ne
vada has there been such a lively
interest manifested. In every corner
of the state the people are putting
their shoulders to the wheel.
The collection Of specimens for
the most part has been completed
The railroads have been of material
assistance. Much credit is due them
for their very able assistance.
From now on the work will be OF
a local nature. Goldfeld is prepar.
ing to give the visitors a grand re.
ception. The others cities Of the
state are preparing to help the great
gold camp.

shares OF stock in the company at
the rate of 2h cents per share, and
sent the check to the secretary NJ
the Goldfield lodge with the request
that if the information about tba
property was correct and the invest
ment all right, the check could he
delivered. In order to learn wheth-
er Herr had in fact sent the circu-
lar the check was delivered to him
and his receipt taken for it. Upon
investigation it was learned that
Herr owned no mining property at
all in Goldfield and that the whole
scheme was a fraud. 1t is believed
THAI Herr is not even a member OF
the knights of Columbus, or if he
is he is not in good standing. Herr
has admitted that he sent the cir
culars through the mails and a full
list Of all the secretaries of the diff
fercnt lodges communicated with is
now in possession OF the govern
ment authorities .-Carson News.

PLACER Mining
IS COMING in
FOR ATTENTION

That Nevada is becoming a center
for placer mining operations is evil
denced by the number of companies
that are Incorporating for the pur-
pose of washing gold from the
gravel that covers a large area Of
southern Nevada. Nearly every day
County Clerk Pohl is called upon to
file articles of incorporation which
have for their object placer mining.
The latest company to enter the
field is known as the Murdoch Placer
Mining company. The incorporators
are c. r. Murdoch, Thomas Keane,
j. p. Lotus, J.. r.. Davis. Goldfeld
is set down as the principal place Of
business. The company is incorpor-
ated for 10000 shares of the par
value of 81 each.
The Chiquita Placer Mining com
pany is also one of the new ones. It's
incorporators are j. r. Davis, ]. P.
LOTUS, George B. Holleran, G.. s.
Wilkes. This Incorporation is for
5000 shares of the par value Of 81
each. Goldheld is the principal
place of business.
Robert Armstrong, Len p. Nc
Garry and e. c. Barry of Pioneer
are incorporators of what is known
as the, Shoshone Hot Springs, incor-
porated. The capitalization is 150,-
600 shares at 81 per share. The
purpose of the company is to i'm

NEW MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
INSTALLED AT CASINO

One of the sweetest as well as
n of the most costly instruments
in the west has just been installed
in the Casino. The instrument con-
sists of chimes and as handled by
Ed Drake has caused many people
to go to the Casino to listen to the
sweet music. The Casino is always
on the lookout for something novel
and 1t is safe to say that nowhere
in the state of Nevada is there bet
ter music afforded the public at
large. The chimes are particularly
attractive. They make a decided
difference in the music, lending
charms to the charms that music
has.

ROUND MOUNTAIN BULLION.
Frank Datesman, chauffeur for
the Round Mountain Mining com
pany, pulled the company's new
Pope-Hartford into Tonopah this
morning. On the rear seat, pack
ing a veritable arsenal, was Clarence
Sage. chief detective of the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company.
At the detectives feet was a yellow
leather pouch that did not appear
to be very bulky, but its weight was
more than one man would care to
pack. This pouch contained the
semi-monthly cleanup of the Round
Mountain company's mill. The bull
lion was taken in to Goldfeld where
it will be deposited in the vaults of
the John s.. Cook bank, before for
warding it to the mint.
INDEPENDENCE TO ERECT MILL.
George Fl. Bradford, a mining en-
gineer of Oakland, arrived in Man
haitian last Friday, by auto, having
made the run from the coast city
in the remarkably short time of fifty
hours, The distance covered is
nearly 600 miles and over some of
the worst roads in the west. The
car used was a 24-horsepower Lam
bert, which has been in constant use
for three years. In the early days
Of Rawhide, Mr.. Bradford erected a
mill there and he is now in Man
haitian examining the Manhattan In
dependence property, below Central,
preparatory to moving the plant to
that property from Rawhide.

that some merchants in Tonopah
