GOLDIELD'S NOTABLE RECORD

With the close of the year 1910,
Goldfel1's total production will
have reached approximately S4S,-
600, 900. the production up to the
beginning of the year being about
$50. coo, 600 while a conservative
estimate of the output for 1910
givesiabout Sl2, 900, 900, to he added
to it. This remarkable showing is
the best possible evidence of the
marvlous riches of the camp. which
seven years ago was naught but a
bleak, wind-swept spot on the
sagebrush-covered desert.
Year by year the greatness and
the production has increased. the
mines have given added evidence
of their stability with depth, and
new confidence is given in its future
by the fact that in the deepest
workings of the Consolidared-lOOO
feet vertical and about 1900 feet
on the dip of the veins the ore is
rich and prolific as at any place in
the workings of this wonderful
property.
Goldfeld has laid in diviaends
to date the magnificent sum of
$23,249523, S7,llS, 1876 of which
has been paid during the prese Mt
year by the Goldfeld Conso Iidated
mines company, and sos, 600 by
the Florence Cold field company in
1910. To !hese figures will be
added at least l,7SO. 600 by the
declaration Of another quartery
dividend by the directors of the
Consolidated company at their
meeting in New York City Deem
Der l.
Approximately so per cent of the
ttal production of the camp It has
been paid to stockholders as
dividends-a record heretofore
unknown in the annals of mining.
The yaary 1911 will undoubtedly
G a large increase in TIE amount
of dividends from this camp for
twelve months, as the consolidated
will at least maintain its present
rate, and the Florence can be
expected to resume regular
disbursements before many
months.
To the present mining activity
will dubtless be added many more
working properties and a number
of good prduce RS, which will
greatly increase the production of
the coming year over the splendid
record that will be hung up
during 1910 as a mark for the
world to gaze at in admiration and
amazement. --Goldfeld Tribune.

SUPREME COURT DIS
CHARGES EUREKA BANKERS

In the cases of Oscar j. smith,
Bert l.. Smith and w. T.. Griffin,
who were indicted by the Eureka
County grand jury under the
recent banking act, defendants
were yesterday discharged on writs
OF habeas corpus in an opinion by
the supreme court. The court
sustained the constitutionality Of
the banking act, but found that
the indictment did not sufficiently
plead a crime under the statute.
1t is provided in the act that arv
officer or director Of an in
corporated bank who has authority
to close the bank or prevent the
reception Of deposits and does not
exercise such authority and prevent
the receipt of deposits when he
knows the bank is insoIvcnt shall be
deemed guilty of having assontcd
to the reception of deposits. and n
punishment Of one TO ten years
imprisonment is provided. The
indictmcnt is failed TO ALICE, and
1T was not claimed by counsel for
the state, that these officers of the
bank had any specific authority
from the stockholders or board Of
directors TO close The lfrk or TO
prevent the reception of DEPOSITS.
The cour, holds that there is no.
thing in the indictments nor in
the language of the statute which
makes an officer Of an Incorporated
bank criminally liable simply
beca use such office or person for
the bank, when he has no specific
authority to close the bank or
prc'cni the reception Of deposits
and takes no part in the reception
the same. Carson News.

JUDGE BROWN REMEMBERED

Judge Geo. S. Brown for the first
time in open court this af ernoon
met a condition with which he
found it difficult to cope. In view
of his retirement from the bench
which will occur January /, the
many close personal friends of the
Judge in this section decided to
show their regards by presenting
him with a keepsake to recall TO
his mind in future years the
pleasant associations of Las Vegas.
A gold watch and chain was
decided TO be a fitting token and
n of the handsomest to be
obtained was purchased and suit
ably inscribed. The presentation
was made by Judge w. r. Thomas
who interrupted the regular pro-
ceedings of the court long enough
to call the case of the people vs..
Geo. S. Brown. Mr.. Thomas paid
a fitting tribnute to the high re-
gard in which Judge Brown is held
both as a judge and a friend, in
making the presentation.
The watch and chain we're
beautifully engraved with the in
scrption Hon. George S. Brown,
District Judge. Presented in open
court November 10, 1910, by his
friends in Las Vegas, Nevada, as a
testimonial of their high regard"

matter were w. f. Hawkins, Ed.

Bakery SALOON ROBBED

Some where between 2:3O and 3
o'clock Sunday morning a masked
man entered the Bakery saloon
from the rear with a drawn pistol
and took the money in the cash
register. Pete Kearns. the bar
keeper, and an old man were the on
~ persons in the saloon at the time.
kearns vas sitting at the desk
in the front part of the saloon
eating his early morning meal and
the old man was sitting at a table
near the stove in the back part of
the saloon. apparently asleep, when
the rObbcr entered. MIR. Kearns
looked up from his meal and saw
the fellow with the gun pointed
at him and his hands went up with
out an invitation from the robber
to raise them. The old mar saw
the rObbcr enter, but prudently
kept his head on the table.
The Iobbcr went Immediately
to the cash register and helped him
self to its contents, amounting TO
over 500. He missed a So gold
piece rnd two quarters and left a
check for a small amount. When
rifling the register he asked Mr..
kcarns what was IT, the little box,
and on being told there was no.
thing he said, thank you" When
he put the contents Of the cash
register in his pocket. he walked
to the front Of the saloon and said
to Mr. kearns, remain in your
position for two minutes. Your
officer is at the Louvre saloon"
He then went out Of the front
door and vanished in the darkness.
As soon as he had gone, Mr..
kcarns called Ray Harris. the pro
priCtor, over the phone and told
him what had happened. He also
called up the Louvre and asked
for Deputy Constable CCtant. The
officer was there rs the robber
had said. He was called to the
Bakery saloon at once and Sheriff
Clark was also notified and was at
p the saloon as soon as possible.
T Ray Harris had left the saloon
for his home but a few minutes
$ before the robbery and was Just
! going Ia sleep when his telephone
rang and he was. informed of what
had taken place. He noticed no
! one hanging around on the out
side of the saloon when he went
, home.
The rohbCr was about five feet.
= eight inches tall and wore a SLOUGH
hat and dark coat. His face was
concealed by a flour sack with
holes cut in it for his eyes, drawn
over his head and tie ends tucked
in around his neck. So far the
officers have no clue that will lead
to the arrest of the robber.

stitutIOn.

Like so many time-honored institu-
tons, from Plymouth rock to patent
medicines says Dr.. f. II. MacCarthy
in Hygiene for Mother and Child, the
hand that rocks the cradle has fallen
into disrepute, and the cradle itself
lis now used so seldom that it has be-
come almost curiosity The mod
ern mother has discovered that the low
cradle was so close to the floor that
it exposed the baby to drafts and dust.
Moreover, rocking made the baby ner-
vous, and the more he demonstrated
the more he was rocked, until his lit
tie brains were added and his little
helpless stomach sadly upset. No lon
ger can it be said to woman's glory
that the hand that rocks the cradle
is that hand that rules the world" for
the woman hater will retort sarcasti-
cally that the hand that rocks the era
die is the hand that makes great
deal of trouble in the world
But the modern mother has some
failings still, so DR.. MacCarthy i'm
plies She does not put the baby to
bed at regular hours. she does not
leave him alone on his little back to
go to sleep uncooped, and she leaves
a light in his room, thus fostering that
most pitiful of childish troubles, fear
of the dark. There was once dear
child in a story book who defended
her plea for bedroom candle by quot
ing the Bible. Let there be light"
and as the head of that household was
a clergyman the child won her case.
A physicians baby would have been
left in the dark to sleep much more
soundly
Darkness is just as important at
the other end of the night, too Many
children awake very early, chiefly be-
cause the morning light shines into
the room. Slated blinds painted a
dark color are suggested as preferable
to dark curtains, as they allow more
air to enter the room.
