GRAFT PROBING
IS EXTENSIVE

.'rhe Rawhide graft investigation is
growing daily, and information con-
veyed to the district attorneys Office as
late as this morning has resulted in
broadening the field of the inv stiga-
tions of the grand jury in this regard,
where it is said that it has become q
matter Of such serious consequence that
it may necessitate prolonged session
of that body.
Not only that, but it is stated from
the district attorney Is Office th't. tue
Investigation in this line viii be carried
on in other camps, and may involve
Goldfeld. Blair, Millers and other minor
camps The district attorneys Office
is confident that there has been more
or less grating in operation in con-
necton with false bills turned in to the
county for some time. and a strenuous
effort will be made TO uncover these
operations and bring the offenders 70
justice.
One of the courthouse officials said
this morning in regard to the Rawhide
graft investigation: While not at lib
erty to definitely state what the devel-
opments are, YOU may say that there
have Ieen new developments brought to
the attention of the district attorney s
office and the grand jury this morning,
involving prominent citizens of Raw
hide, which were not known heretofore,
and put a more serious complexion on
the matter.
''Before the present session OF the
grand jury ends, there is likely to be
very startling developments in regard
to this matter, and an investigation of
like character probably will be made in
Goldfeld Blair and Millers. There are
liable to be some indictments of promi-
nent citizens for grating which will
open the eyes of the people of Esmer-
aida county.
'sThe Rawhide Bank Investigation
will be carried through thoroughly, as
we want to know what has been done
with the money which was deposited In
the banks of that camp, and the rea-
sons for the failure of those hanks.
voIney B. Leonard, cashier of one OF the
defunct Rawhide banks is now in Gold
field and says he is not afraid to face
the music =
/ The Rawhide banks which will be
investigated by the grand jury are the
Miners and Merchants, the First Bank
Of Rawhide and the Bank of Rawhide.

assembled at the elaborate arch in
Crook street, at the entrance to Elks
hall, the crowds laughing and gaily
chatting their friends. The costumes
were all original. From Crook avenue,
the throng of burlesquers moved to the
depot, where they welcomed the incom-
ing candidates, escorting them thence
to the Grand hotel, at Miner and Main
streets, where the parade was formed.
There the people of the city had gath
cred in packed throng, awaiting tho
formation of the parade. The schools
were closed for the afternoon and all
of the business houses of the city shut
their doors during the parade, allowing
their employees to mingle with the joy
Gus people in the streets The grand
jury had also suspended its sessions
during the afternoon.
All along the line of march the side
walks were filed with people anxious to
see the ludicrous procession pass The
parade started at the Grand hotel, going
sout hto Myers street, thence east to
Columbia street, thence north to Ram
sey, east to Fifth avenue, south on Fifth
avenue to Crook and west to Elks hail.

MINE REPORT FLATTERING.

The report of General Manager Mac
kenzie showed that during the month OF
April the total production of this com
pany was 19,417A tons, containing
$947 ,542.6S or $4S.S0 per ton.
The net profit to this company from
this ore was 1922, 1859, or 1864 per
ton. To this is added an item of
$4,000, awarded as damages in the re-
cent suit of the Mohawk company vs.
the Frances Mohawk Mining and Leas-
ing company, which together with
$4,000, miscellaneous earnings, makes
total profit for the month of $797,

very modest girl, and one of the bellies
of the season, the onlookers who no.

get on the leeside to witness the latest
specimens of Partisan hosiery.
The parade was success in every
way, and Goldfeld can well afford to
have the hearty laugh which was af-
forded this afternoon by the Elks. Later
in the day there will be more doings,
and during the afternoon prizes will be
awarded for the best costumes. The
judges of the costumes are Captain
Hooper, Johnnie Miller and j. F.

parade were perfect, the committee

minutest detail so that no hitch occurred
in the entire proceedings. A genial sun
grinned from the heavens, and holiday
feeling enveloped the huge crowds which
turned out to witness the parade, while
even the purple clouds sailed between
Columbia mountain and the malapai

interfere in no way whatever.

The cost of milling at the new mill
alone was $2.0s per ton. The increase
in our costs over those of last month
was largely due to the heavy outlay at
the Clermont shaft, where swelling
ground was encountered which required
very careful work in cutting stations
and skip pockets. This, together with
surface bins and installing skips, made
IA total charge against ore production
of So cents per ton. With the Clermort
shaft in operation, however, we are
planning a campaign of development
work on the lower levels and elsewhere
on such scale that the development
charge will probably be considerably
in excess of $l.00 per ton for some
time.
Both mills are operating at full capa-
city and constant Improvement is be-
ing made in their operations. The Con
soiidated mill is now treating somewhat
more than 600 tons of ore per day and
an extraction of 95 per cent is now
being made at both mills. The low
extraction in March and April was prin-
cipally due to the cold weather and to
the fact that the ore from the Hampton
stope is less amenable to treatment
than the remainder of our ores.
An improvement has been made in
extraction at the Combination mill by
the installation of few more coneen-
traitors and by the selection of ore more
suited to the limitations Of this plant,
which was not designed for the purpose
of treating sulphide ores.
The concentrate treatment plant mas
proved itself success i'll every respect,
IN which values are now being extract
ed from the concentrates produced at
both mills.
We have recently installed a device
for the prevention of accidents by over
winding hoisting engines, at the Cler-
mont and Mohawk shafts, and thorough
tests have demonstrated that this
device works perfectly and will be
valuable safeguard against accidents.
This device operates in such manner
/ that the power is shut of and the
brakes applied, either in ease the engl-
neer does not slow down before reach
4 ing the collar of the shaft, or in the
event, that after slowing down, he does
not stop his engine within a few feet
of the proper point.

Butte, Mont, May 81 When nine

into court for trial today, it developed
that sixteen had left the city, and that
their bonds had been lost or abstracted
from the sheriff's vault. The bonds
aggregated $4,000, and as the defend

to the flights of Professor Montgomery

and the publication, shortly after the
