Ida May LOSE
MAIL SERVICE

Ida and the various camps tributary
thereto, are to lose their mail service,
according to reports received from
Washington, and the people Of the sew
eral mining districts in that section are
greatly disturbed at the prospect. The
News has received several letters of
protest, imploring aid to prevent the
outrage.
The reason given by the department
at Washington, it appears, is that no one
will bid within the amount the depart
ment considers reasonable for the
amount of venue 1t is well known
that the rural or star route service of
the postofice department is run at a
loss; the government recognizes the
fact and accepts it as unavoidable and
inevitable; but II is the liberal policy
of the department that residents of all
sections of the country, where not en-
tirely isolated and too thinly scattered,
should have the advantages of a mail
service. Therefore the discontinuance
of mail service to Ida, which con-
veniences hundreds of patrons, looks
like discrimination. There are 200 pat
rons of the Ida office. At the last
election there were IS votes polled in
Ida precinct, and this year there will

One of the letters received by The
News reads as follows:
"Lida, Nevada, Aug. IS, 1910.
"Dear Mr.. Sprague:
81 am writing you on behalf of the
district of Ida, which is in danger of
losing its tri-weekly mail service
through the belated parsimony of the
postal authorities. This Office which
serves the mining district of Railroad
Springs, Pigeon Springs, Tule, Palmet-
to, Cucomonga, Sylvania, besides seat
tered individual prospectors and opera
tors, has so far been receiving its mail
by carrier from Goldfeld three times a
week; but with the expiration of the
present contract for that work the
postal authorities have announced their
intention of requiring us to take our
chance of what travel there may be
back and forth from Goldfeld. The
Importance of this district will be clear
" demonstrated when the plans of the
above company, for whom / am engi-
neer are made public; suffice at present
that a railroad from Immediately south
of Cuprite opening up this whole min
ing country, and for which l am at

mary objective point. / think you
will see from the foregoing that an In
Justice is contemplated, and hope that
you will use your great influence to
right matters"

DEFY TO MACHINE

ELY, New, August 17.-(Special
Telegram to The News)-Today George
Springmeyer, "insurgent" candidate
for the Republican nomination for at
torney general gave out the following
statement with reference to a recent
editorial in the Goldfeld Tribune at
lacking his candidacy:

BULLFROG LEASERS
GETTING The GOODS

The Penn Mining & Leasing company,
operating at the Franklin, are ~inereas-
ing the output of ore as anticipated.
Three outfits are now hauling and q ~
horse outfit will be down from Goldfeld
tomorrow.
Mr.. Findley says that the dump at
the mine contains about 200 tons of
marketable ore, and ore is being ex
tracted daily, giving several days
start ahead of the teams.
Before leaving for Los Angeles
Tuesday, Mr.. Crowell picked up a
piece of ore from the dump which
showed an abundance of free gold, so
much gold in fact that he was skepti.
cal for a time until his associates as
sured him that he was not mistaken.
The Crystal mill has been busy all
week on Franklin ore and next week
it is hoped that the mill will be oper-
ated to capacity.
During the week, the Diamond leas.
ers have sacked a half-carload Of ore,
and will have another shipment ready
in a few days. They are unable to
make the progress anticipated, owing
to the presence of numerous punches OF
soft manganese material, as sticky as
clay, which is difficult to mine. The
stuff is high grade, however, as all the
soft material found in the property.
The leasers have sent the raise up
about fifty feet above the 800 level,
and there is no sign of the ore pinch
ing out.
1t is stated that a lease has been
granted on that portion of the Dia-
mond formerly under lease to J. M.
Stevens, and that work will be com
soon.-Rhyolite Herald.

INSTALLING Milling
PLANT AT LIBERTY

Recently I. l.. eddie, accompanied by
Mr.. Lindsay, a prominent capitalist of
Philadelphia, was in Nina, says the
Western Nevada Miner. They were en-
route to the Liberty mine southeast of
Nina, in which Mr.. Lindsay is heavily
interested. In speaking of the prop
erty both gentlemen stated that it had
a large tonnage of ore blocked out, and
that they believe from the present
showing, it was one of the greatest
mines in the state. Extensive develop
ment work is going on and a mill is
being installed. The machinery, which
was ordered some time ago, is now be-
ing hauled from Miller's siding to the
site on the ground of the Tonopah
Liberty Mining company. The machin-
cry, which weighs about $50 tons, is
being hauled by the Wittenberg Ware
house company.
Mr.. Lindsay stated that a force OF
men would be employed as soon as the
plant arrives, and the work of con-
structing the mill would be rushed to
completion. The condition of the mine
at the present time justifies the erection
of the mill, for the development work
of late has opened up several good
bodies of ore.

SILVER PEAK
CASE DECIDED

By the decision of the supreme
court handed down Saturday the plant
ifs in the famous case of Gamble
against Hanchett and others known
commonly as the Silver Peak case, gain
another victory over the defendants
and are given the right to pursue their
Judgment through writs of assistance
or through a bond to preserve their
rights.
The case involves property esti-
mated in the millions and has been IN
the courts, state and federal, for about
twelve years. About a year ago the
matter came to trial in the district
court and the judgment was in favor
of Gamble. After the Judgment the
plaintiffs sought writs of assistance TO
enable them to go into the mine
which was the subject of controversy
and s~egregate their interest and they
also asked the court to order the de-
PENDANTS to put up a cash bond OF
81, 500, 900, pending an appear.
The defendants sought a restraining
order and writ of prohibition from the
supreme court forbidding the district
court to enter an order in the matter
ON the ground that the district court
lost control of the case after Judg-
ment.
On this last matter the supreme
court went into the case and finally re-
fused to sustain the defendants.
The plaintiffs will now apply again
for writs of assistance or for a bond
and hope to be put in possession OF
the property they have fought Tor SO
many years.

FIND MADE in
MASON PASS DISTRICT

yERINGTON, August 1S.-R Reliable
,soorts have come from the Bolter &
Watson property in Mason pass, this
week. A party of gentlemen from here
;usneeted the workings there on We'd
ussday, and the conditions are repre-
sented as most encouraging for the
prospect of developing something of
value.
The property is very well equip
ned for development, with hosting
machinery. At incline shaft has al
ready been dropped 16O feet, on the
foot wall of a strong east and west
lead; at that depth a crosscut will
be run, the objective being an inter-
section with a quartz reef cropping at
the surface, and from which gold val
ues are obtained, in figures that
sound like pay, from an average or
thorough sampling.
Bolter & Watson have been work
ing quietly at this property for some
time, and with no noise whatever. 1t
is located about 1900 feet from the
Constantine gold strike, a showing of
unusual merit, and one that has at
tracted considerable attention owing
to the high values, and the ideal for
nation of loose porphyry for making
on the ore. Some rich gold ore is
being taken out of this latter prop
erty every day now, the depth being
twenty feet at present. There is a
pay streak of $50 ore to follow, the
result to be known only with additional
development.

SENSATION IN ELY

Brown is also charged with having
the first lap of his primary campaign
financed with the sum of $4,000, with
more to come if necessary in the des-
perate struggle to deprive prospectors
and miners of the greatest mineral en-
pire in the state of Nevada.

it may yet lead to the courts and the

The ore from the Perkins lease is COM

OGDEN INTERESTED
IN LABOR TROUBLES

Much local interest Is being aroused
by the labor troubles appearing on the
horizon in Salt Lake, growing out OF
the alleged employment OF non-unlon
men on some of the largo buildings
now under process OF construction,
Strenuous efforts arc being made in
Salt Lake by the union forces to have
the courts enjoln the Real Estate as
sociatlon from continuing the adver
tising In eastern cities for artisans
and laborers to come TO Salt Lake, un-
der the promise that there is plenty
of work.
According to the reports received
from the capital, an unusually large
number OF men are out of work and
unable to find employment and the
action OF the Real Estate association
In advertising for men Is meeting with
opposition. Not only In Salt Lake is
this feeling Of animosity towards the
association felt. as labor unions in
this city are also greatly aroused over
the matter II is claimed that TO ad
yeruse for additional working men,
with the city Jail here nightly filled
to oyer-flowIng With honest men who
come here In search OF employment,
only to be reduced 10 absolute want
when unable to find work, is the
heighth of foolishness and should be
stopped at all hazards. Every night
between 10 and SO men are given
free lodging in the city jails Of Ogden
and Salt Lake, and this number does
not begin TO cover oil the men who
are out OF work in this locality,
Builders and labor unions are look
ing anxiously for the opening OF spring
so that work may be recommended.
but the unions claim that even with
the large amount OF work that is al
ready contracted for and is ready TO
be started as soon as the weather per-
mits. there will be labor and TO spare
to handle everything without bringing
more men into the cities OF Utah. Just
NJ present the situation In Salt Lake
seems 10 be much wor3e than In this
city, although comparatively speaking,
there are Just as many unemployed
worlingmen in ogden as In Salt Lake.
So far. however. no trouble has ap-
peared with the labor unions in this
city, while grave doubts as to just
what win happen should the builders
in Salt Lake who are employing non
union men persist in their course are
neing entertained, and some talk oil
general strike has been heard
