APPOINTED
ASSAYER OF mint

President Taft ON Tuesday sent to
the senate the nomination of Andrew
Maute to be assayer of the mint at
Carson City.
X. c. Colcord, who is deposed by this
appointment, was once governor of
this state. He held the position of as
sayer, otherwise known as superintend-
ent, and sometimes as director Of the
mint, ever since the big scandal, which
resulted in several people connected
with the establishment being sent to
prison and others held under surveil-
lance for some time.
About the time Governor Colcord
was placed in this position coinage
ceased at the mint and it is now mere
ly government assay office, where
bullion is purchased in large quantities.
Andrew Maute, who succeeds to the
position, is one of Nevada g oldest and
best known residents. He filed the Of
flee of state printer for two terms, in
a very satisfactory manner, and is the
present chairman of the Republican
state central committee.
Maute's appointment was confirmed

MILL PROJECTED FOR OHIO
MINE AT REBEL CREEK

Donald Ferguson has returned from
northern Nevada with reports of the
most glowing character. He is an
)ptimist of the most brilliant hue, and
he insists there is no necessity for any
man going outside this state for the
purpose of finding something that will
lead to fortune.
Mr.. Ferguson has been absent from
ioldfeld for two weeks, and during
that time he succeeded in closing a
contract for taking over eight claims
known as the Ohio property on Rebel
creek, 40 miles north of Winnemucca,
N Humboldt county, and Is miles
south of National. The claims were
located in 1879, when the acreage only
embraced three claims and the original
owenrs shipped $275,000 worth of ore
20 Salt Lake. This was two-thirds sill
yer and one-third gold. The formation
is a shale and slate. The locators were
+. p. Snapp 4 Bros, who realized at
the rate OF $4,000 per ton. They sold
to a man named O'Toole who shipped
out $275,000 and then hiked off to
Europe to dispose of his holdings. This
represented most of the high grade con-
.ained in the ground, and a sale would
have gone through had it not been for
the fact that O'Toole contracted a fatal
lness in London, of which he died in
Denver. The claims were patented in
1850 and remained intact until recent
ly. when their value was called to the
attention of Mr.. Ferguson and asso-
ciates, who began investigating with
the result that they found the heirs
and obtained title to the ground. 1t
IS estimated that the dump has value
of $10s,000, and that in the mine is
$l,2s0,000, which may be extracted
with a saving of $s ton by the con
struction of suitable mill. The av-
erage value of the ore is $l6.
Charles w. Norris, of Milwaukee,
is interested in the Ferguson com
pany. In three months it is expected
that the new company win have be-
ginning made on 20stamp mill,
which will be in operation by the
middle of February, when the daily
operations will call for production
of l25 tons. The engineer of the mill
is j. b. Fleming, who is now complet-
ing the Nevada Hills pant at Fair
view. The cost of the work will be

SLOW PROGRESS IN SPRING
MEYER AN DLE0ATE CONTESTS

A Journal special from Carson says
that the question of "who's who in
Carson as propounded by George
Springmeyer and J.. w. Legate in their
efforts to solve the identity of who was
really elected to the offices of the at
torney general and clerk Of the Su-
preme Court, remained unanswered at
the conclusion of today's labors in
counting the ballots cast at the last
election.
Friends of Springmeyer state that
he will win out in the contest and
oust Baker from the attorney general q
office, while the Baker adherents are
positive that the recount win make
no change in the official life of Carson.
The question of the Legate contest to
tie the official bounce ON Joe Joseph
for the clerkship of the Supreme
Court, is a matter of doubt and can
not be decided until the contest comes
to an end. Joseph defeated Legate by
the narrow margin of eleven votes
Last evening a tally was made of the
votes east in the first precinct at
Sparks. The examination of the bal
lot box revealed the fact that 242
votes had been cast there. Six Of
these had been rejected at the first
count and in the present examination
Baker objected to "A ballots, while
Springmeyer was credited with 40.
The tally of those free from blemishes
gave Baker SO votes and Springmeyer
so ovtes. Legate received SO and
Joseph So.
Today Commissioners George San
ford started on the ballots cast in the
second precinct of Sparks and com
pleted the canvass before the court ad-
journed. The count showed 297 ballots
east of which number Baker objected
to SO and Springmeyer s5. The tally
of the undisputed ballots will be made
in the morning
The Supreme Court will take no ac-
tion on the contested ballots until the
canvass of Washoe county is complet-
ed. At that time all bllots objected to
by the parties at issue will be submit
ted for an official decision, and the
rulings will serve to expedite the count
of the remaining counties.
The ballots from Elko and Esme-
ralda counties have been received and
will be taken up as soon as the count
of the Washoe ballots is completed.

reno MURDERER
DENIED HIS LIBERTY

Sheriff Ferrel arrived in Ell Paso,
Texas, Tuesday night, and Wednesday
morning appeared in the court there
and fought the attempt of Peter Race
vich, alias Frank Thompson, to secure
his liberty on a writ Of habeas cor
pus, says the Gazette. This was an
nounced to the county commissioners
by the following telegram:
Win in habeas corpus this a. m.
Fight on extradition tomorrow. Race
vieh has money and is fighting, but !
will bring him with me-
&C. p. FERREL, Sheriff.
Racevich is accused of having mur-
dered messenger boy in the Mohawk
in 1909, and sine that time he has
successfully fought the officers and
managed to stay away from Nevada,
although he has been in jail much of
the time. When Racevich was in Reno
he was considered man without any
means and did odd jobs and messenger
work for living, but since his arrest
in Juarez more than a year ago he has
had plenty of money. In Juarez he
was furnished with all the money he
needed to fight extradition and it is
stated by the local officials that when
he was arrested in Ell Paso money was
5elegraphed to him from certain par
ties in Reno. Who these people were is
not known, but is is known that he
secured mony from this city.
1t is now the general impression that
II Racevich ever comes to trial there
will be sensational developments. 1t
is possible that conspiracy will be
shown up and that the developments
will be of such nature that other ar
rests will follow.
The sheriff and the district attorney
and his assistants are hard at work on
the case and intend to bring Racevich
to trial if possible. The sheriff ex-
poets to leave Fl Paso with his prison
er before the end of the week.
1t was reported when Juarez fell be-
fore the forces of Madero that Race
vieh had been released from the Jail
at JuareZ and could not he found, but
The Associated Press dispatch reports
that he was turned over to the Ameri-
can authorities who took him across
he border to FL Paso. Sheriff Ferrel
stated on leaving Reno that he was
quite confident the authorities here
would be able to convict Racevieh, but
it appears that all of the witnesses but
one have disappeared and it may be
quite difficult to convict him.

B|STOLFrS ORCHFS-
IRA AGAIN TONIGHT

The greatest musical event in per
haps the entire history of Winnemucca
was given at the Nixon opera house
last evening by Bistolf IS "Multum in
Parvo" orchestra. Although the night
was exceedingly warm, the large audi
ence sat out the rather lengthy pro-
gram, and had the artists attempted
to respond to the numerous encores,
the entertainment would have lasted
until after midnight.
The remarkable feature of the af
fair was the fact that the entire rep
ertoire was rendered to perfect tune
and accord without the use of
music. Signor Joseph Bistolfi used
harp guitar, an instrument of his own
conception and the first one of the
kind ever made. From the audience it
appeared to have mouthpiece as
well, but this was only piece of
paper, the flute-like tones adduced be
ing produced by whistling. Paolo
Renza played ON lute-banjo, while
Enrico Trusmani employed the violin.
The productions of this last named
talented artist have rarely been ex-
celled in this country, and only equal
led by Ole Bull and Remini.
"The Passing Regiment met with
popular favor, the artists giving an
illustration of the wonderful control
they possess over their instruments. In
addition to the martial airs being play
ed by the military band, the sound or
treading feet could be plainly heard.
Medleys were executed, containing
the patriotic airs of all nations.
Another Entertainment Tonight.
Yielding to the opportunities of the
public Signor Bistolfi has kindly con
sented to give another entertainment
this evening. Two new moving pie
lures and one illustrated song will
preeede the musical program, which,
will be as follows:
Overture, "Semiramide' -. Rossini
Concert Waltz, "Last Kiss Blake
Sextette, from "Lucia -. D6nizetti
Selection from "Tannhauser Wagner
lntermeggo, "Cavalleria Rusticana'

WOOL BUYER BACK FROM
TRIP TO NORTH END

G. w. Callahan, buyer for Koshland
& Co., San Francisco wool merchants,
returned yesterday afternoon from a
trip through the northern part of
Humboldt county. Asked if there was
much wool left in the territory he Wis
tied, and what it was being held at,
Mr.. Callahan replied:
''The seasons clip has been pretty
well sold out, although there is con
siderable remaining in the hands of
the producers. Regarding the price
asked, that depends upon how you go
after it. If by automobile, they will
ask you about zoe, but if afoot, you
could probably buy it close to the pre-
vailing market price, which is in the
neighborhood of 14c.''

NATIONAL WANTS
TO BE ELIMINATED

A few days ago citizens of National
mailed petition to the Nevada dele
cation in congress, asking that six
sections of land, which include Charles
ton, Auto and Radiator hills, be elimi-
mated from the Santa Rosa forest re-
serve.
As clash seemed imminent between
citizens of the town and the reserve Of
fcials, Judge Shea came to Winnemnc-
ca the first of the week and secured the
signatures of the prominent business
men here to a petition asking that the
town be eliminated from the reserve
and telegraphed same to Senator
Nixon and Representative Roberts.
Answers have been received from both.
stating that the matter will be taken
up with the proper department at once
and an effort made to have conditions
satisfactorily adjusted
All Residents Must Secure Permits.
This morning representative of the
Silver State called at the reserve head
quarters in the Hustin- -Grandin build
ing for the purpose of ascertaining
what steps the local officials intended
taking to enforce the forest regua-
tions. Supervisor Blakslee is absent in
Paradise, but to the reporter Acting
Supervisor McGhie stated that within
the next Is or 20 days all persons re-
siding on the reserve, outside of those
occupying patented ground, would be
required to take out permit Miners
and prospeetors, occupying cabins no
portion of which are rented, will be
.oba ala
other persons will be charged from So
per year up, although there are no
residences at National at the present
time that will be required to pay more
than $5 per year. Business men will be
charged a scale graduated according to
the volume of business transacted
yearly. At present there is no bust
ness in the camp that will be requir
ed to pay more than $15 per year. Mr..
McGhie estimates that the total re
eeipts from permits will not aggregate
to exceed 800. However, the govern
ment "keeps the change and should
the fees be collected this month and
the town eliminated from the reserve
next month, no part of the fees will be
returned.
According to the rules of the forest
reserve, all parties applying to the of
ficials for permits to remain on the
reserve will be required to show that
they have permission from the owners
to occupy the premises upon which are
located their residences and places of
bsuiness.
