guarded last night.
When he returned home he found
that he had been visited the second
time this week by burglars. The first

BOY DEFORMED
BY NATTENTION
Serious Charge Against County
Hospital by the Citizens
of Albany

BERKELEY, May A committee of
trustees of Albany has been appointed
to wait upon the board of supervisors
next Monday morning relative to
charges made that conditions at the
county hospital are bad and should be
investigated. On the committee which
will wait upon the supervisors are:
Trustees A. p. Hanscom, E. d. Gushing
and Mayor Frank j. Roberts.
The treatment accorded Joseph Per
CELIA a school boy of Albany, who was
taken to the county hospital for treat
ment for a fractured shoulder blade,
will be made the basis of the charges
which will be filed with the county
board.
1t is alleged by City Clerk Nicker-
son, Mayor Frank j. Roberts and other
officials of Albany that the boy was
gestion of City Health Officer DR.. Rob
ert Hector, because the boys parents
were in Straitened circumstances
At the hospital, the officials of AL
bany charge, the boy was given no care
for three weeks except the attentions
Of a trained nurse. and during that time
no attempt was made to set the broken
bone.
AS a result, they declare, the bone
knitted imperfectly and young Percel-
las shoulder is deformed and the bone
will have to rebroken and reset that
he may gain normal use of the mem
Der.
Mayor Roberts said that the matter
would be thoroughly investigated, and
said:
1T is shameful cruelty and neglect
that this child should be made to suf-
Ter the'way that he was, and conditions
certainly should be improved at the
county hospital. The cause of his neg
lect was either carelessness or inef-
ficiency, and in either case the condi-
ltons there should be made the subject
of investigation"

DIAMONDFIELD PROPERTIES
ARE SHIPPING GOOD ORE

from the original leasing winze, near
the top of the hill. There has been
little ruetion in the leasing company,
it is understood, and The News is IN
formed that Mr.. Campbell has severed
his connection with his partners IN the
lease. Five men are still working in
the lease.
The Black Butte, on company ac-
count, has stopped work in the tunnel,
and for some days the men employed
have been busily engaged pulling water
from the company shaft, which has been
dewatered down to the lowest .aterals'
The entire shaft will have been cleared
of water by Monday, and then lateral
work will be started on company ae
count in an effort to reach the quartzite
porphyry contact to the west at about
200 feet depth.

large tonnage of ore running little
hetter than $12 per ton.
The company, largely backed by
Nebraskans, is now arranging to build
a ten-stamp concentration, amalgama-
ton and cyanide mill on the property
and. in fact, The News is INFORMED
.hat the money is ready as soon as the
management of the company says ore
reserves are large enough to warrant
construction. Two shifts of men VIII
from now on be worked underground,
and s or 10 men above ground, blocking
ont both surface and underground ore'
The shaft will be sunk deeper ana
laterals run to get the ore shoots at
greater depth than now developed
Messrs. Weber, Mclaughlin and ClarS
went to Railroad Springs this morning
to look over the property.

STEADY WORK ON THE
BOOTH in PROGRESS

The crosscut to the east from the
260-foot level of the shaft on the Lind
leasing block of the Booth is now out
130 feet, and the three shifts of miners
are steadily gaining six feet per day,
which is fine showing considering the
finty character of blocky dacite
through which the cut is being sent.
The formation has become a trife
softer during the past "a hours, but
still maintains it's blocky character. A
few thin seams of tale are now en-
eountered in the rock.
Steady work is being done by the
Booth Leasing company at the souther-
ly end of the Booth, the crosscut from
the $50 level going ahead steadily. 1t
is in a similar formation to that being
cut in the Lind lease and at present no
ore is in sight. The crosscut is. in
about $50 feet at this time. "Steady
work in progress is about all that can
be said in reference to the Booth
ground at this time.

KNICKERBOCKER LEASE
NEARS The GRE SHOOT

On the Claude Knickerbocker lease
on the Commonwealth, tie crosscut from
the old company tunnel is going
through the dyke on the west side of
which the operators found ore IN the
upper workings. The crosscut is in
tended to catch the ore shoot laying
along the dyke about 80 feet below
where the ore was caught III the wlnze
from shallow workings near the top Of
the hill.
On Friday afternoon the leasers hg-
ured that their cut was about through
the dyke, and any round of shots is now
likely to open the ore shoot. II the
shoot is found on the lower level, as
big and strong as it was 30 feet above
the leasers will have fine body OF ore
with a long stoping lack, and which
can be very economically mined, with
out foot of hostage.

HIGH GRADE ORE in
TONOPAH BELMONT

PHILADELPHIA, March &c. A..
Higbee. one of the officials of the Ton
opah Mining company, was in town this
week from Tonopah, having just made
thorough underground examination of
the new ore shoot which has within the
past six weeks caused the stock of the
Tonopah Belmont company to advance
from 60 cents 10 $2.05.
Mr.. Higbee is quoted as saying that
the drift which two weeks ago was 2OS
feet in the ore has now been run for a
distance of 235 feet and the face of the
ore from which shipments are being
made is now breaking over $3.50 to the
ton. The vein itself is 10 feet wide, all
the ore being of shipping grade.
Mr.. Higbee is also quoted as intimat-
ing that there is very little realization
vet of the merits of this ore strike, be-
cause the public is down on the Ton
opah and Goldfeld shares largely be-
cause of the tremendous declines which
many of these shares have registered
in the past three years, but earnings
that must accrue from this ore will tell
different story, as soon as they are
continued regularly. The earnings for
February, which were put at $SO,O0o,
are understood to have been nearer
100000, and as long as the present
grade of ore continues the company can
go along from month to month at this
rate.

shoot appears to be fairly strong and
well defined, not enough work has been

ture of the lease.

shows much alunite and small globules

is highly promising, but Manager Jack

roNopAH-BELMoNT IN JANUARY.

TONOPAH, New, March 19.-The
following is Superintendent Bradshaw's
report of Belmont mine for the montn
of January: Number of dry tons sent
to smelter, 2,733; total gross value,
sl1O,319.75. Average gross value per
ton, $40.37; total returns from smelter,
$S1 100000. Average net value per ton
returned by smelter, $29.64; net profits,
after deducting all expenses, $56,O0O.Oo.
Cash in treasury, $230,0Oo.00.
and within the next 80 days consider
able progress in the reconstruction will
be made.
Since work was started on the con-
tinuation of the shaft at the Centen
nal Phoebe less than month ago, some
so feet of sinking has been accom-
plished, and local officials state that
the work will be continued with all
possible speed. Power drills are being
used in the work which is ali being
done in frst-class and permanent
manner.
The Centennial management feels
that by the time the road is open 10
traffic again this property will be in
position to add considerable tonnage TO
the camps output. The Prince Con-
solidated management also has the
satisfaction of having large tonnage
of high grade ore blocked ont, and re-
cent information from camp is to the
effect that the Mendha mine is also in
excellent shape for the Inauguration OF
campaign of heavy extraction as
soon as the transportation facilities
assume normal shape. At the Mendha,
it is said, the management will be able
to take out 1000 tons of ore monthly
for some time to come, without max
ing any special effort at production.
Adjoining the Mendha is the Phoebe
X. Ray, which is also developing in
very satisfactory manner, and which
will probably he added to the list OF
shippers during the coming summer.
At the Phoebe Metals Superintend-
ent Lennon is pushing work, now that
the new hosting equipment has been
placed, and the Big Prince Cons. is
also becoming more active since the
announcement on the part of the rail
road officials that the Meadow Valley
road would be rebuilt as rapidly as
possible.
