Several LeaSerS
At Helena Making
Splendid Showing

With the discovery of the extra
ordinarily rich high grade in at least
two new places on the Broken Hills
mine at Helena the camp has taken
on new lease of life and the COM
pany has been forced to put on two
more teams to handle the ore, which
is being shipped to the mill at the
rate of seventy-five tons a week The
ore will run in the neighborhood of
5000 ton without sorting of any
kind and there is an unlimited guam
tity of this high grade rock in sight
in the various workings. Under the
able direction of Superintendent T.
G. Murphy the mine is being rapidly
developed in systematic and miner
like manner and the property gives
every promise of equalling the most
eXtravagant expectations of President
Mccormack and his associates.
On the small hill lying just to the
west to the one on which the COM
pany workings are located several
leasers are getting splendid showings
and it looks as though the conten-
lions of some of the experts who have
examined the property, that this hill
would prove duplicate of it's DO.
nanza producing neighbor may soon
be realized. The Bricca lease has a
fine four-foot ledge that was cut al
a depth of sixty feet, which it is de-
veloping steadily. The entire -four
feet returns milling values and the

PROMISED FOR
SkIDOO Mines

E. A. (Bob) Montgomery is nego-
tiating for an extension of the Ne
vada-California Power company's
lines from Rhyolite to skidoQ, to fur
nish power for the Skidoo Mines COM
pany's milling plant. The mill is
now operated by water power by the
Skidoo company's pipe line, and is
the only milling plant in the desert
to be operated by water power. The
company has a telephone line from
Rhyolite to Skidoo and no new poles
would be necessary for the power
line, which would also supply power
for the Keane Wonder mill enroute.
+. Grading is now in progress for the
mill at Harrisburg, which is being
erected to treat the owes of the

HOWLERS ASSN

William Koefer, who was arrested
on the night of the tenth on charge
of vagrancy. and who demanded a
jury trial, failed to make his appear
ance yesterday afternoon in the JUS
tice court. The officers swore out a
second complaint against Koefer,
charging him this time with drunk
enness and being disorderly in his
conduct. He was unable to be found
last evening and it is thought he has
sought another city to take up his
place of abode.
One James Murray, who stated he
hailed from Goldfield, came up be-
fore Judge Atkinson on the charge of
vagrancy. He was advised to con-
tirue on his way by the court, and
when last seen was heading toward
Reno to join the ranks of the Calam-

against Tonopah.

PIONEER LEASE
SHIPS TWO CARS
OF HIGH GRADE

The Bullfrog Pioneer Leasing and
Milling company shipped forty-ton
car of ore the first of this week to
the Western Ore Purchasing company
at Goldfield, and will load out an
other car before the end of the week.
The fifty-ton car shipped to Goldfield
last week sampled $4,000, or nearly
500 ton. The ore is going out in
bulk. The drifts on the 21O-foot
level are both in solid ore, some of
which is as rich, if not richer, than
anything previously encountered in
the mine. The latest report says
that the miners are breaking twelve
feet of ore to ship. The stock is ad-
vancing steadily, and has sold as
high as 80 cents this week --Rhyo-

SENATOR PYNE
TELLS OF Direct
PRIMARY BILL

President Pyne, of the senate,
when asked about his direct primary
bill, had the following to say:
THE direct primary bill provides
that any person desiring to run for
any office shall obtain three per cent
of the voters of his party as determ-
ined by the highest vote cast for
presidential elector then 3 per cent
of the highest vote cast for any state
officer in his party; this entities him
to have his name placed upon the
ballot.
At the primary election, if the
notice has been given for the holding
of such election, the names of all
persons seeking Office are placed upon
the party ticket, each party to have a
different colored and separate ticket
which contains only the names of
candidates of that party.
Any one desiring to vote gives his
name and tells the party with which
he is affiliated, and he is handed a
ballot of that particular party, which
he votes by marking the tx" after
the names of the candidates for the
various Offices he desires to support
and the person receiving the highest
vote on the primary ticket is declared
the nominee of the party for that Of
flee and his name is placed upon the
official ballot to be voted for at the
following election
independent candidates can have
their names placed upon the ticket
by petition, the same as under the
present law
Objections have been made to the
bill by persons who thought that all
the names could be placed upon one
ticket, the same as at a general cleo
ton. do not believe this to be good
policy, for then it would enable Re-
publicans to vote for Democratic
nominees and vice versa, and the per-
son elected would not represent the
strength of his party; for instance, if
A, B and G are candidates for the
nomination Of governor on the Dem
ocratic ticket and D was the only
candidate seeking nomination on the
Republic ticket, then one vote would
be sufficient to secure DIS election on
the Republican ticket, and if the Re-
publicans find that they can elect A
as the weakest man on the Demo-
cratic ticket by voting for him, it
would make the weakest Democrat
as the nominee on the Democratic
ticket to oppose the Republican NOM
inee, so | thought it was better to
confine each party to voting for his
party ticket, or candidates.
Il think the primary election law
is for the advancement of the voter,
as it will permit any man to obtain
the nomination for an Office who has
the confidence of the people, and the
nomination of party will not be die
tated as they have under the conven-
ton system by corporate interests,
who have an object in having their
men named as the nominees for Of

been uncovered in the district and
the owners of the lease are very con-
fident that they will uncover a good
body of shipping ore in a short time.

ing in ore that has all the character
istics of the incline high grade. Some
very high grade rock has been taken
out of this hole, but the ledge is not
in place as yet and the shipping ore
has not been found in paying guam
titles. The indications are very
promising, however, that the prop
erty will enter the shipping class be-
fore long.
The Johnson lease is prosecuting
over toward the incline workings
and within the last few days has en-
tered new and highly mineralized
formation. Crosscuts are being push
ed forward on both the 100 and 200
foot levels in the hope of picking up
the extension of the incline vein.
The camp is pluming itself on hav-
ing telephone line of it's own SO
that it is no longer isolated, but
brought in close touch with the out

A Kings Frugal Meal.

There are few more democratic mon
archs alive today than King Victor of
Italy. He Is very fond of going out
channels hunting quite unattended, and
one day he met with an amusing ex-
perience. He had shot chamois, and a
peasant boy, who had seen the animal
fall, offered to go and fetch it. The king
thanked him, but the Lad inquired what
was to be his reward. well, what do
you want?" asked King Victor. "A
franc and half your luncheon" was the
reply. The bargain was struck. and
the peasant went off and fetched the
dead chamois. The king handed him
a franc and proceeded to divide his
luncheon into two equal portions. But
the peasant turned away in contempt,
for the royal luncheon consisted only
