MICHAEL MALLOY IS
CALLED BY DEATH

Michael Malloy, a miner and pioneer
resident of Goldfeld, while at the ball
of the Lady Forresters, given last night
in Assembly hall, suffered a stroke OF
apoplexy from which he failed to rally,
dying about A o'clock this morning at
mis- home, Ala Fifth avenue. Mr.. NAL
10y had accompanied his wife and
daughter, Miss Lillian Malloy, to the
dance and had just seen the latter
honored with a place at the head of the
grand march when the fatal stroke
came. DR.. J. l.. Mccarthy was in the
hall at the time and after examining
the stricken man pronounced the case
An extremely serious one. Medical at
~tention proved of no avail aud death
ensued without a restoration of con-
seriousness, though the unfortunate man
fingered for several hours after being
removed to his home.
Mr.. Malloy was AN engineer by trade,
but at the time of his death was EN-
ployed as a timberman at the Combina-
tion mine. lie served for a consider
able time as an engineer at the Port
land mine, having come TO Goldheld
in the early days of the camp.
Deceased was about IS years of age
and a native of Nevada. His home be-
fore coming to Nevada was in San
Francisco, and it will be in the Bay
CITY that the burial will take place.
The body will be shipped tomorrow
morning accompanied by his only rela,
tiyes here, his wife and a daughter.

LINCOLN GOLDFIELD
COMPANY ATTACHED

TIE Lincoln-Goldfeld Mining and
Leasing company, which took over the
Gotwaldt Combination block on Com
bination No. 2 claim of the CONSOLE
dated company, has suspended opera
tions and the equipment is under at
tachment for wage and other claims.
The company was working its ground
through the old Stoneham, Griffith and
Moore shaft, doing development work
at 600 feet depth, in an effort to pick
up the extension of the old Reilly vein
system that in early days yielded such
a bonanza to the leasers.
1t is understood that there are wage
claims approximately $500 against the
leasing company, and a few small ma
terial bills, the total not amounting 10
more than $3.50.

Another Esmera1da County Industry That Bids

Carload Shipment Coming

not evaporated prior to reaching the
lower edge. The evaporation Of the
moving brine is very rapid-some 200
per cent more rapid than from standing
watts. The brine is fed out very thin
over the ~"roof," and when the coat
of salt gets so thick as to interfere
with operations it is cleaned off. 1t is
likely that this method will be used
almost exclusively by the operators.
And, by the way, a foot of water will
evaporate on the marsh in 4S hours,
so torrid are the rays of the sun on
this bit of the desert.
A carload of salt will soon be shipped
to Sim Canman, of Goldfeld, who will
be the local distributing agent, and at
the same time the operators are ar
ranging for marketing the product of
the desert in other quarters. Owing to
it's purity the salt will be in especial
demand by dairymen, the big cracker
and biscuit factories, and other places
where an absolutely chemically pure
salt is needed. Owing to it's purity the
salt has very hard, clear crystals, and
this is the kind wanted by the bakers
and dairymen.
AS the market for the salt grows, the
Blair association will keep increasing
and extending its operations and pro-
duct, and it is very evident that the
salt industry will eventually be a very
large one at Blair. Under the saline
land laws, however, one person can hold
but 20 acres of saline lands, and this
such cooperative a~ssocia-
ton as has been started at Blair, and
seems to be starting in the right man
ner. A number of Goldfeld men are
interested in the association, whicvh
now has ample backing to start it's op-
erations, after a delay of some months.

SEARCHLIGHT, June l3.-One hun

President w. w. Hurt states is 10 be
expended on the properties of the New

$4,000 will be used for equipment and
$4,000 for development purposes.
While in San Francisco last week, IN

in Los Angeles an order was placed for

over the new placer plant, claiming
that the new system will revolutionlze
desert mining. The Western people

counsel were most commendable and
able. Nevertheless, a jury has found
you guilty.
cit would seem to the court that you
had little regard for your pale-faced
wife who sits by your side, and for
your four children, to be guilty Of this
almost brutally stupid larceny. The
idea of a man of your apparent intelli-
gence committing your own honor and
the honor of your wife and your foul
children to the safe keeping of a man
like Martin Miller, who seems to be IN
the very verge of idiocy. How could
you expect to evade detection. How
could you commit all that was near and
dear to you to the judgment and
sagacity of Martin Miller. To do so
shows an inordinate desire to steal.
81 have sympathy with your wife,
and with your children. / have more
sympathy with them than you had when
you committed this crime. If you had
had sympathy for them you would have
protected them in their good name by
protecting your own.
However, the law is not vengeful.
1t is not the purpose Of the Law to
wreak vengeance upon any man, but it
is the purpose of the law to mete out
adequate punishment to offenders. The
punishment in this case ranges from
one to fourteen years Imprisonment.
Out of consideration of your wife, and
out of consideration for your four chill
dren whose a m you should have pro-
tected, the court will not impose a
maximum sentence, which you richly
deserve, in view of the reckless care
which you have thrown around your
w reputation and of those near and
dear to you. 1t is too bad in this world
that the innocent have to suffer for the
sins of the guilty.

things should be expected. You have

smith SENTENCED Three
YEARS IN THE PEN
Judge Imposes Moderate Sentence Out of Con-
sideration for Wife and Children, After
Severe Arrangement of the Prisoner

Michael j. Smith, convicted of steal
ing amalgam from the Consolidated
mill, was sentenced this morning by
Judge Somers to serve three years in
the Carson p~enitentiary. The final
words were spoken after the convicted
man had listened almost unmoved to
an unusually singing arraignment. So
severe was the rebuke by the court that
those in the audience were considerably
surprised when a sentence of but three
years was imposed. "Out Of considera-
tion of your wife and out of consider
alton of your children" were the
words that bespoke the state of mind
of the court, which brought down upon
Smith comparatively light punishment.
Mrs. Smith, accompanied by her lit
tie son and a woman friend, paled con-
siderably through the ordeal, but to the
end bore up remarkably well. AS
Smith stood at bar and heard the first
reference to his family he turned and
looked back directly at his wife as if to
afford him support in an expected break
down. When he resumed his seat be-
side her the two sat for some minutes
hand in hand.
Before judgment was pronounced
Senator Morehouse made quite an ex-
tended motion for a new trial which in
turn was denied. The motion, as will
be the appeal to the supreme court, was
based upon the following grounds: that
the court misdirectad the jury in mat
tiers of law, that the verdict was con-
trary to the law and the evidence, and
on alleged errors of law occurring in
trial and excepted to by the defendant.
Judge Somers stated hat he had no
doubt hat the case was fairly sub
mitted to the jury and for that reason,
when counsel for Smith asked that bail
be allowed pending settlement in ap-
peal, asserted that there was no reason
for leniency outside of the leniency ex-
tended in consideration of wife and
family. The motion for bail was de-
MED.
"Mr. Smith have you anything to
say why the judgment of the court
should not at this time be pronounced
upon yous' was the question by the
court which brought Smith to his feet
for sentence.
Smiths reply was: "Nothing more
than what counsel said, except that, no
crime having been committed, / dom
see why judgment should be pronounced.
l am not guilty of any crime. My con
science is clear
The court then proceeded as follows:
1.-THE jury have found otherwise, and
the court is of opinion that the case
was fairly submitted to the jury upon
the law, and that the instructions were
clear and understandable by the jury.
You had a trial before a jury of very
great intelligence, and they have pro
nounced you guilty of the crime of lar
n You had the benefit of able
counsel. / think | can say that in my
