Through plan that is now being
worked out in Goldfeld by number
of stockholders in the defunct Coming
Nation Mining company, holders OF that
stock will be given chance to realize
on their investment by joining with
parties who have taken over the Curly
George and Boom Fractions, adjoining
the Clermont and Grizzly Bear claims
of the Goldfield Consolidated and the
st. Ives claim, and organized the Colt
field Consolidated East Extension Mines
company, into which has been merged
the Eagle group of 6S acres in tho
eastern section of the Goldfeld district.
The Eagle group was formerly known
as the Storm King, and was one OF the
promotions Of w. J. Brewer, and is con-
sidered very promising piece Of prop
erty.

G. company, and while no definite state
ment can be made as what action the
officials will take, it seems more than
likely that the proposition will be seri.
ously and probably favorably eonsid-
cred.
There is plenty of room on this tract
of land to accommodate shops and
yards, and also dwellings for all the
men who may desire to live that close
to the shops, but the location is 80
convenient to Goldfield that all of the
men may prefer to have their families
reside within the city limits, on ac-
count of schools and other residential
reasons.
What the acquisition of these railway
shops would mean to the business and
Industrial life of Goldfeld is greater
than any other proposition that can be
forcasted at the present time, and if
it becomes an established fact, it will
be due purely to the public-spirited Of
fer of one of Goldfield's most progress

Goldfeld's chances for securing the
Tonopah Goldfeld railway shops,
through the public-spirited offer of j. P.
LOTUS to present to the railway COM
pany approximately 200 acres Of ground
lying between the westerly limits Of
Goldfeld and the Malapai hills, are in
the ascendency, and the location Of the
shops here may become an assured fact
within the near future.
Soon after the offer of the land was
made by Mr.. Lotus short time ago,
officials Of the T. & G. ordered their
engineering corps to run survey lines
over the tract Of ground and ascertain
its availability for shop and yard pur-
poses This was the first step that in
dicated the willingness of the railway
officials to consider the proposition. On
Tuesday Mr.. Olmstead of the railway
engineering department reported to Mr.
LOTUS that the lines had been run and
that he found the ground well adapted
to the purpose, as the grades are easy
and comparatively level.

DAISY DIRECTORS RESIGN

most of which were ancient history
were among the archives Of the com
pany in New York. Among these things
were note for $4,000 held by Frank
Horton and associates, and other obli-
cations that brought the sum total up
to about $4,000. Wilkinson, who is
recognized as one of the ablest mining
men in Goldfield and who has been gen
eral manager for the Daisy company
since about the first of the present year,
was unaware of many Of these obliga-
tiOns, and with the approval OF the
board Of directors extended develop
ment along more extensive lines than
he would otherwise have done. In the
meantime the insiders apparently got
out as fast as they could, and left Wilk
inson to hold the sack when the fuai

"Under normal conditions, I could
have made the Daisy pay its way and
kept it on safe footing said Mr..
Wilkinson, "but 1 had no idea that
the company was in such a hole. They
let me go ahead with development work
that / would otherwise not have under
taken, but would have confined ope-
rations to that part of the mine that
promised best in the way of ore. i
would then have been safe and there
would have been no such entanglements
as there are at present. Now they have
put the whole load on me, so far as the
worry of the thing is concerned, and
there it stands. The men will be paid
off as fast as we can get in some money,
but / don't know what will be done
about the other obligations. No move

that some effort has been made to set

Gloveless Fad and
the "Madeup" Hands

One OF the most ultra fads of the
moment is to appear with hands I'M
gloved upon all sorts of formal oc-
casions. Even sleeveless gowns are
unaccompanied by gloves.
Naturally this fashion brings into
prominence bracelets and rings as
considerable items of toilte. Wide
band bracelets are worn above the
elbow tightly clasped about the
arm. and bangled bracelets at the
wrist. Heavy bands of gold set
with stones in quaint design are
popular. and bracelets enameled in
black or dark blue are considered
becoming, as they add to the white.
ness of the skin.
Especial attention is given to the
grooming of the hands by the
woman who gives up her gloves.
Not only is perfection of manicur.
ing insisted upon, but the hands are
treated to skillful process OF
makeup" Palms and finger tips
are tinted rosy pink, while the
backs of the hands are made to
appear like alabaster.

RESCUED FROM
PARASITE
FRED PEARSO NADDS ANOTH-
Err ACCOMPLISHMENT TO HIS
RECORD IN FEE r r e G
FRENCH SLAVE OWNERS.

Eloping many months ago from
her home in France with Leon
Vacher, the man of her choice;
brought to the United States,
where she was compelled to lead
life of shame to support her
lover, and finally given like a
slave into the custody of other
parasites, Henriette Yuppe may yet
be taken back to life of decency
and to her home in France.
After a search of nearly two
years throughout France and other
countries of Europe, the girls rela-
tives appealed to the mayor of
veginone, their home town. This
official communicated what few
facts of the case he could gather
tc the French consel general at
San Francisco. Inquiry was made
broadcast throughout this country.
The assistance of the Spokane po
lice was petitioned by the French
consel general, and Detective Fred
Pearson was put on the case. His
work was speedy and successful.
Following is his report that is to
be sent back to San Francisco and
t, the mayor of Veginone, France:
"Henriette Yuppe came here
from France with Leon Vacher.
She is on ships manifest as Louise
or Lillian Vacher and has now as
sumed the name of Lillian Dubois.
Vacher is a full fiedged French
parasite and placed the girl in a
house of prostitution at Wallace,
Idaho. Last July she was trans.
ferred to Emile Veaucamp and
Jennie Girard, another pair of
white slave holders, who kept her
in their cribs until they were ar
rested about three months later by
the United States immigration Of
ficers.
"They were tried at Moscow,
Idaho, last December, but the jury
disagreed and the second trial of
the case is to be held sometime in
February. Veaucamp is under
$4,000 bonds and his paramour
$4,000. Henriette Yuppe is held for
government witness and when
the case is finished in court she
will be deported to France.
Leon Vacher is now in Egypt,
he having another slave there.
Veaucamp stripped the girl of
about $4,000 while she was in his
power"
The first clews of this case were
picked up in Spokane, where the
parasite trade fiourished previous
to its exposure by The Press.

PROSPERITY At
CITY. HALL

Money makes the mare go. The
truthfulness of this old saying is
exemplified at the city hall, where
all departments of the city govern
ment are now working under the
new appropriations made late in
the fall. For several weeks befoye
the close of the old year some of
the departments were running
along on very close margins, as
they had already exceeded the al
lotted amount.
It Is different now. The new
appropriations being available,
every department is ON velvet, as
it were, for the present at least.
OF course the money to be derived
on the new tax levies will not be
available for several months, but
will come all right, and that is
the comforting phase of the situa-
ton.
The hard luck stories of the
city departments have ended.
There is now prosperity and joy
and all will be we'll until the time
for the next years appropriations
comes around-but why cast any
shadows on the picture.

TO BRAND DICK
BLACK SHEEP
COMING CITY CAMPAIGN IN
FLUENcE DEVELOPS IN MIR,
ING POLITICS WITH BILLY
SUNDAY REVIVAL SERVICES.

Spokane observers are mingling
amusement with disgust today at
the political use that is to be made
of Billy Sunday here, according to
the forecast in morning paper.
Billy, it appears, has been furnish
ed with a list of the sheep and the
goats among the Spokane delega-
ton in regard to saloon regulation
laws and he is going to separate
the flock at the mems meeting next
Sunday.
In this list Senator Hutchinson,
bluff old Dick, is named as doubt
full" This does not suit the pur-
pose of the morning papers next
mayor making project and occasion
is taken to put Hutchinson entirely
in the wrong" class.
Interested parties who have en-
deayored to persuade Dick as to
how he should interpret the last
republican platform will read this
grimly. Hutchinson is possessed
of the notion that the people elect
ed republicans to Office because
they wanted the platform prin-
ciples of that party carried out.
He even believes it to the extent
of standing solidly for bank guar
anty law. Although one of the
wealthy men of the country, he is
also an earnest advocate of the
initiative and referendum, as well
as any other sound principle of
popular government.
r Hutchinson's position on local
option is that Of the republican
party and he has never attempted
to conceal it. The result of the
election indicates that the republi.
can plan is what the people of the
state want. They rejected the
democratic prohibition plank by a
majority that left nothing to argue
over
If every other legislator is as
true to the platform as Hutchinson
will be, the state will get just ex-

actly the local option law it voted

actly the local option law 1t voted
for.
The same may truthfully be said
Of the other members of the Spo-
kane delegation in both houses.
They were elected on a party plat
form that intended promise be-
tween the radical and the conserva-
tive elements on the saloon ques-
ton. The object was so apparent
that none taking proper interest
in the issue from either viewpoint
could be mislead. The reasonable"
local option phrase is something a
child could read, and dthe verdict
of the people registered no objec-
ton to it. The legislature can be
held to an accounting for its con-
struction of the term reasonable"
but for this session at least the
power of enacting such law as the
legislators may deem reasonable
has been placed in their hands.
But the main issue, so far as
Hutchinson is concerned, Is the
fear that he will consent to run
for mayor of Spokane this spring.
If he does he will be elected, a
contamination not to be desired
except by the working people and
business and professional inter-
ests that have no axes to grind.
Hence Hutchinson is to be brand
ed black"
