BIG STRIKE MADE IN
SEVEN TROUGHS MINE

The drift north on the Wild
Bull vein in the east crosscut from the
800 level of the J. e. b. shaft on
Thursday night intersecting the cross
lead opened some time ago in the shaft
This vein is nearly two feet wide and
full of quartz. While it pans well,
the assay returns have not yet been
received and it is impossible>t say
what the ore goes.
John McGivney, manager of the
property for the Fresno Development
company, is of the opinion that the
junction of this crosslead and the
Wild Bull vein would be productive Of
good ore and at the point where it was
struck in the drift it looks as if his be-
lief will be fulfilled. The men are
now engaged in drifting both ways
ON the new vein and in addition a
force of men will now be put back in
the shaft, which will be carried 500
feet before laterals are run again.
1t is very probable that development
will open up good body of mill ore
on the 300 while it seems practically
cetain that at the 500 the slopes will
be found full of rich ore. .
| The Wild Bull company, which is
operating on the Wild Bull vein just
south of the j. & b., has completed the
installation of its pump after a delay
oceasioned by the failure Of the ma
chinery company to ship all of the
necessary appliances. The workings
will be drained in very few days
when work will be resumed in the
shaft.
At the 265 level the crosscut which
has already passed the Wild Bull vein
will be continued to the Yellow Sage
vein, which prospects exceptional
well on the surface. At the same time
the working shaft will be continued t.
depth of 400 feet.
With both the j. & BIS and the Wli'
Bull developing the vein at depth ]
will be strange if Wild Horse canyol
does not make shipper.-Sevel
Troughs Miner.

mail ROBBER CIV
EN- LIFE SENTENCE
Especial to silver state.)

SPOKANE, WASH, Oct. 1S.--Almost
Immediately after he had sentenced
Alexander David Minor, alias Charles
ID. Howell, formerly postmaster and
deputy sheriff at Havre, Montana, to
imprisonment for life at hard labor
in the federal penitentiary for rob-
berry, Judge Edward Whitsan, of the
United States district court in Spo-
kane, collapsed from a stroke Of
paralysis on the right side of the body.
The attnding physicians say he will
recover.
Judge Whitson, who practiced his
profession at North Yakima and other
parts Of Washington for 80 years, was
appointed to the federal bench in
March, 1905, and has presided at ev-
cry case of Importance in this district
the last five years.
Minor was convicted last Septem-
Der on the charge of robbing a mail
car on the Great Northern railway be-
tween Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, and Spo-
kane, in April, 1909. The robbery
was one of the boldest ever committed
in this part of the northwest. Just
how much was the amount stolen by
Minor is not known, but it is believed
to have been more than 100000.
Minor worked alone.
Carrying satchel, upon which was
marked the name Of Bennett, postal
inspector, Minor boarded the mail car
at Bonner's Ferry. His familiarity
with the details of the work took
away every suspicion and when the
train started the robber drove John
Nystuen, mail clerk, into locker,
where he tied and gagged him. M.
Stumps, another clerk, was tied to a
chair. Minor then rifled the registered
mail and escaped as the train pulled
into Spokane.
He was arrested in Seattle lasf
spring on the charge of robbing an
express Office and subsequently con-
fessed robbing the mail ear. As the
crime was committed before the fed
eral parole law became effective,
Minor will remain in prison for life at
Leavenworth, Kansas, or Atlanta,
Georgia

San FRANCISCO
GIVES Big Prize

Artists and painters of the highest
rank ali over the conutry have indi
Gated their intention to compete fol
the 81 900 prize offered bv the Panama.
acific exposition committee--the larg-
est prize ever offered in a contest OF
this character.
Not only will the men who have
been adding lustre to the fame Of Cali
fornia by their work in the east be
represented, but the artists whose
magazine covers, illustrations and
paintings have made their individuali-
ty familiar to all Americans will try
to achieve the distinction of having
created the design that will symbol
ize the greatest work OF man.
The contest is open to every artist
in the Lifted States, but it is the be-
lief of the committee that the virile
imagination of some young Californian
will rise to the opportunity offered by
the contest. Whistler and most of the
eminent painters and sculptors who
have watched the awakening of
American art have asserted that the
really great thing will be done in the
near future in the United States;
dAu tACy nave Cou5luoIIu OdlllOfHld
the cradle of the native art of
America.
No more inspiring theme has ever
been presented to a creative mind than
he opening Of the Panama canal, and
the making of the design should call
forth the best thoughts and technical
skill in the nation. Hundreds Of sug-
gestions have already been presented.
Thousands doubtless will follow. But
out of the lot there will probably be a
limited number whose strength of
conception and power of technique
will enable them to stand out as the
real competitors.
In making the drawings competitors
should bear in mind that the design
is to be used on everything sent out by
the exposition committee-letter-
heads, stickers, posters and all other
matter-and should therefore make
their sketches conform to the purpose
for which the accepted design will be
used. 1t has been requested by the
committee that designs be sent in al
early as possible in order that they
may have time to give adequate con
sideration to the thousands of sketches
that will come in before the time
closes.
The following are the conditions Of
the contest as adopted by the exposi
tion and publicity committee:
"a prize of $1,000 is offered for The
best and most practical design for a
trademark for the Panama Pacific ex
position. The words, sPanama-Pacifc
international Exposition, San Fran
cisco, 1885, must be included and the
design submitted must be finished in
detail with the color scheme attached.
"The design will be used IS a seal
to be placed on all official documents
as part of official posters, on all sta
tionery and all other literature or
documents that we may desire to make
official.'

WILL PLAY
NEvADANS NEXT SATURDAY

The greatest football game of the
season in Nevada win be played next
Saturday afternoon, when the Stan
ford team will meet the University OF
Nevada.
Already the Nevadans have captur-
ed two out of three games and have
shown a decided Improvement in their
work since the first game played. 1t
is figured that if they can hold the
Stanford team down during the first
half of the game they will defeat
them easily in the second half Every
energy will be centered to this end.
AS the Stanford team is the one
which will play against the University
of California they will give the local
lads a hard struggle.
Picked from an. offering of over
two hundred men, all anxious to get
on the big team, the Stanford players
are undoubtedly the best in the col
lege and the Nevada team will have a
goodly job on it's hands They have
supreme confidence, however, and If
at the end of the first half the visitors
have not scored against them, they
figure to pull down the game handily.

DEMOCRATIC PRESS
in HARD STRAITS

The Democratic press are hard up
for campaign material when they must
resort to- deliberate falsehood to
bolster up their discredited cause.
The Reno Nevada Weekly, Dick.
ersonian organ, has several pages de-
voted to Senator Nixon's and Senator
and state senate, respectively, which,
perversions of fact.
Senator Oddie is charged with vot-
ing and working against the Fellow
Servant bill.
Here is the record:
Journal of the Senate, twenty third
session, page 213.
"Senator Oddie asked leave to re-
port out of order.

Several other subjects are taken up

Oddie favors Asiatics and the letting
down Of the bars to the Asiatic hordes
to come into this country to compete
with American labor, and that he
drafted and tried to get through a
bill "to enslave labor"
Such balderdash is not worthy of
serious attention, and the same may
be said of the Weekly's diatribes con-
cerning Senator Nixon. The public
is getting wise to the Dickerson-
Pittman-Sprague system of cam
paigping. at Sparks Mr.. Pittman de-
clared that Senator Nixon voted and
worked against an amendment to the
appropriation in congress for anti
trust prosecutions, wsfch eliminated
labor unions and their members from
the operations of the law. We say
to Mr.. Pittman and the combine:
Show. the record. We challenge its
production. We will mention the pages
of the Congressional Record where
this debate and vote can be .ound--
Congressional Record, June 8, 1910,
pages 1923 to 1929. If the opposition
can find that Senator Nixon opposed
or voted against this amendment, eth
er there or in any other place in the
Record. they can do more than any
one not gifted with supernatural power
of insight can discover. The public
Is fast beginning to understand that
what the Dickerson-P -Pittman Sprague
combine say is not ordinarily to be
taken as the truth, or even an honest
approximation of the truth

fully one-half of which were Republi-

Saturday night, to listen to what ex-
cuses the Democratic candidates
might advance for their being in the
field. In this they were partially dis
appointed, for the speakers confined
their remarks to handing themselves
and each other huge bouquets.
Sam Belford, an alleged spell
binder, had been touted as the man
who was going to wipe the floor
with Nixon in his home town, but his
effort was very tame affair. After
the meeting a well-xnown Democrat
stated that the Republican state cen.

to arrange for keeping Belford on the

paign.
