the palm for quaintness goes to D. C.
Clark, an inventor of Muskegon. Mr..
Clark, who was trained for an engin4

to photography, has given his spare
time for the last ten years toward
perfecting a plan for the navigation

ship 1.-THE Cherubim."
The inventors idea was obtained
from the tenth chapter of Ezekiel,
where the prophet AYERS that he saw
cherubim, and that the heavenly Wis
itors had wheels.
A dummy model which Mr.. Clark
has made for his airship shows the
four wheels and the "eyes" which are
holes in the wheels. But the secret
of the means of navigation is not TO
be found in the model. 1t lies in the

Holes for tree planting, according

Bullfrog this week to look after his
mining interests in the region of the

believes that somewhere among what
he has left he viii be able to open
something that will be a good second to
the Pioneer.
This property has recently come to
the front with leaps and bounds that
place it in the front ranks of the new
producers of Nevada, and has created
considerable of a boom in that district.
The Pioneer is o saeking Is feet Of

GoLDFIELD CHEDD COMPANY
TANGLED UP IN LAW SUIT

Suit to set aside an alleged fictitious
transfer of property of the Goldiell
Chedd Mining and Leasing company
has been filed by A. c. Taylor for him
self and other stockholders, against the
corporation, H. d. Colson and other di-
rectors of the company.
The complaint says that the company
owns a lease ON the Florence and an
other on the Atlanta; also has So, 500
worth of personal property and nj
chinery, and two claims in Nye county
worth $4,000. On November 6 of last
year a directors meeting was held in
Los Angeles, and a resolution passed.
setting forth that inasmuch as the com-
pany was in debt 5000, which it did not
see it's way clear to settle, it would sell
all the property to d. S. Cook, with an
option to buy back for 81, 800.
Taylor, in his complaint, claims to
have received no notice of the meeting,
although he is a director. He declares
that the $1,000 was never paid, but
that the resolution was simply a trick
on the part of the defendants to obtain
control and squeeze himself and others
out of the property of the company. He
says he is personally willing to advance
5000 to get the company out of debt,
and that he will take as security the
personal property only.

COMSTOCK'S 5OTH BIRTHDAY
WILL BE STATEWIDE EVENT

Next Fourth of July will be the Com
three principal towns of Nevada have
taken turns in celebrating for the past
eight wears or so. and it should be an
occasion of extraordinary eclat, says
the Reno Reveille.
During this year will come the
fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of
gold in Gold Canyon. which led a year
later to the discovery of silver on the
Comstoek. In fact, the town of Gold
Hill, which, with Virginia, constitutes
the Comstock, was first settled in 1868.
Consequently this year is the golden
Jubilee of the Comstock, the completion
of the halfway stone in the century
mark.
SO the coming Fourth of July carni-
val on the Comstoek ought to be one of
great local jubilation, and not only
should all this section of the state take
part in the celebration, but it should DE
made a matter of statewide Importance,
as an event commemorative of the real
birth of Nevada. Tonopah, Goldfeld
and the other new camps should be in
vited to join in this memorial annivef-
sary celebration. BY getting to work
early, the progressive members of the
Comstock citizenry cal accomplish
much in making this one of the great
est fetes cvcr witnessed in Nevada.

A. D. PARKER. is TO HEAD
COLORADO l. SOUTHERN RY.

News comes from Denver that A. ID.
Parker, vice president of the Florence
Goldfeld Mining company and also
vice president of the Colorado & South
ern railway, is to become president ct
that road under the recently acquired
ownership of the Burlington system.
Mr.. Parker will succeed Frank Trum-
bull, who has %annoupced his retirement
from that position.
The rise of Mr.. Parker to this high
position in the railway world illustrates
for those who arc determined that SUE
cess shall be theirs. Mr.. Parker has
fought his way from the bottom to the
top since he settled in Colorado in 1883.
He began his railroad work as a section
hand on the Denver s. Rio Grande in
Denver-not through necessity, but be-
cause he had determined to learn rail-
reading from the bottom and take
chances on reaching the top.
lie later became a clerk In the oniee
of the auditor of that road, and was
made chief clerk to the auditor in 1891.
From that time his rise was rapid. He
was elected vice president of the Colo
RADIO & Southern in 1905.
Soon after his arrival in Denver in
1883 he met Thos. G. Lockhart, how
president of the Florence Goldfctd
Mining company, and partner of Mr..
Parker in the control Of that property.
They entered into a 'sgrubstake" min
ing agreement, Parker supplying the
funds and Loekhart doing the prospect
ing. After years frought with uneer-
tainty, their reward came, and it has
made them both many times million
aires.

supposedly large body of high grade ore
was struck the latter part of last week
and the stock went up from IA cents :
3 cents under heavy buying. The high
values left the ore in a twinkle, al
most. and Baby took a header ann
dropped to less than one cent. Baby
Florence has been the worst iuggled anil
poorest managed proposition in camp.
The control lies in the hands of a few
amateur stock jugglers whose raw work
has been so palpable that it is a public
scandal, almost. But as no one can te
badly hurt in such low priced stocks,
official cognizancc has not been taken
of it.

FINANCIAL WORLD GUESSES
WILD ON GULDFIELD CON.

In view of the official announcement
tors of the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines
company that dividends will be re
srmed on March 1st next at the rate
of 30 cents per quarter, the following
pessimistic assurance from a late issue
of the New York Financial World
places that journal in the front ranks
OF high-class humorists:
"While the Goldfield Consolidated
stock has had a good advance, the buy
ing in it has not been very impressive.
Here and there some outsider takes i
flyer in it.
"Therc is more than one reason to ac-
count for the lack of much following
among buyers of mining stocks. There
is the excessive capitalization
which has always deferred shrewd peo-
pie from touching the stock, and there.
is the poor dividend record. 1t has con
sisted more in talk than in tangible dis
bursements. Finally, it is known that
the Baruch pool had a large block OF
the stock TO market, and it may be that
the activity in it finds it's principal in
spiration from this source. just as soon
as the pool has rid itself from it's loa.l
then the stock may again find it's proper
