Tuesday evening a meeting was
held at st. Marks rectory for the
purpose of organizing Boy Scouts in

has met with worldwide popularity
Companies of Boy Scouts are now

YOUTH WHO lMPERSoNATEDo OF
FlCER is ADVISED TO DE-
PART FOR NEW SCENES

Carl Miller, who was arrested Mon
day night on charge of imperson-
ating an officer, was rendered a po-
lite invitation yesterday by Judge
Atkinson to shake the dust of Tono-
pah from his brogans and strike out
for pastures where his talents might
be more appreciated. Miller was
wearing a star belonging to Los
Angeles deputy sheriff, and with the
aid of this insignia he had but lit
tie trouble in obtaining drinks in
various saloons.
A charge of vagrancy was placed
against him and after being found
guilty by Judge Atkinson was SEN
fenced to serve 80 days in the coIn-
ty bastile. The execution of the
sentence was postponed until today
and in the meantime Miller was al
lowed the opportunity of leaving
town. From last reports he had
quietly taken his departure
Miller, at the time of his arrest
asserted that he was the son of a
Los Angeles banker, but this claim
was not substantiated yesterday, nor
did he volunteer additional informa-
tion relating to his antecedents.

KNOX INTERESTS
CONTROL BOARD Of
The PRINCE CON.
OLD DIRECTORS RESIGN AND
NEW BOARD CHOSEN AT
SALT LAKE

By the action on Monday after
noon by the board of directors of
the Prince Consolidated company, the
new interests recently acquiring the
control were elected to fill the va
cancies occasioned by the resigna-
ton of several directors and Presi-
dent James Hackett Charles E.
Knox was selected to fill the va
cancy thus created, and is now the
president of the company Mr. Knox
is one of the best known mining men
and capitalists of the western coun-
try, being closely identified with
the banking life of Nevada, and
serving as president and director
of several of the well known mining
companies of that state, says the
Salt Lake Tribune.
The designations of Directors Ern-
est L. Godbe, Anthony H. Godbe,
Henry Sadler and ]. p. Megath were
submitted at the meeting of the
board on Monday, and the following
were elected directors in their stead:
Charles e. Knox, William H. Webber,
John A. Kirby and A. Y. Smith Mr..
Weber was one of the original own
ers of the Nevada Hills property of
Nevada, serving for four or five
years as general manager and mem
ber Of the executive committee, John
A. Kirby Is far too well known in
Utah and Nevada as one of the
most successful of the many Utahans
who have made good in a substan-
tial way during the past few years
in the sagebrush state to require
any further introduction to the
west A. Y. Smith is the general
manager of the Prince company since
the Knox interests assumed control
| two months ago, and it has been un-
der his directoion that the property
has been demonstrated to be exact
ly as represented by the former
owners of control
This official assumption of the
control of the Prince destinies es-
| tablishes the consummation of a deal
that has been pending for many
months, and 1t is the universal opin-
ion of stockholders that the Prince
| is to be conducted along lines of
great production, for being a low
grade proposition it necessarily de.
mands large production and mul
tiplicity of small profits.
Messrs. Smith and Webber stated
to the Tribune after the meeting
On Monday that the mine has been
shown beyond all question to hold
resources sufficient to meet these
conditions, and that it was huge
manufacturing concern which the
new owners would handle to bring
about early and generous profits.
The property at the present time
is shipping an average of $50 tons
of ore daily, and the cost of produc
tion is being brought down steadil.
in such fashion that it should no
be long until the figures early esti
mated in this regard are attained
which win mark the Prince Consoli
dated as one of the lowest cost pro
ducers of the west

Want HIGHER
QUALIFICATIONS
FOR ATTORNEYS
NEVADA BAR ASSOCIATION AP.
POINTS COMMITTEE TO LOOK
INTO MATTER

At the meeting of the Nevada Bar
association, recently held at Reno,
the committee on admissions to the
bar, composed of Robert M. Price,
X. c. Stoddard and Alfred Chartz,
recommended higher qualification for
admission to the bar, about as fol-
lows: That when an applicant had
passed his examinations in law
school of good standing, after three
years study, he must still work at
least one year in a lawyers office
of good reputation before he can be
admitted to practice law in Nevada;
if the applicants studies have been
confined in lawyers office for the
full period of four years, he may be
admitted without further qualifica-
ton, upon a strict examination by
the board of examiners and their
recommendation, and further exam
ination by the members of the SUI
preme court. This seems to place
actual work in a lawyers office as
superior to theoretical study in a law
school, merely.
Applicants for admission upon GER
tificates of other states, under the
rune Vi Conity VI couils, arc " W
admitted, if their rules require as
full and fair an examination as ours;
otherwise they must pass the regular
examination
Enquiry as to the moral character
of the applicant is also made strict
er; the applicant must produce af
fidavits. as to his good moral char
acter. as person of honesty and in

LUNING MAKES
MANY SHIPMENTS
TO The SMELTER
ToNOPAH MINING MAN DE-
CLARES DISTRICT HAS A
GREAT FUTURE

That Luning is destined to become
one of the principal copper mining
camps in southern Nevada is the
opinion of every mining man who
has visited that section. c. w. Flet
cher of this city, who spent some
time in the district, has returned to
Tonopah and is optimistic over con-
itions as he found them. Shipments
Are being sent to the smelter at Wa
buska with astonishing regularity
and each succeeding shipment brings
better returns, as the ore is obtain
ed from greater depth. A dozen
or more properties are working and
he be owner or leaser, is working
in ore.
The copper, values predominate,
with small silver values showing.
Nine carloads have been sent out
recently and Mr.. Fletcher declares
that another ore car will leave Lun-
ing tomorrow. Quick and satisfac-
tory returns are obtained from the
smelling officials who are assisting
in every way to encourage the op-
orators.
The Shipper company, operated
by Frank Everett of this city, is one
of the leading producers in the dis
trict, and while a depth of only
about 100 feet has been attained,
the ore is increasing in value as
the shaft is sent down. Dillabaugh
and Wittenberg are both extracting
pay rock and steady improvements
are to be noted. Smith brothers
and Quinlan are sinking their shaft
on the ore, which carries silver and
lead. Their property is just out
of the copper zone. A hoist has
been erected and further develop
ment will be carried on vigorously.
recent shipment of 40 tons gave
returns of about 1000 ounces of silver
to the ton. Further shipments of the
same quality of ore will be made
as fast as it can be extracted.
Plymire and Radcliffe, operating
on the Vacation group in New York
canyon, have shipped nine cars this
year and are now preparing to send
the tenth car to the smelter. This
property is reckoned as one of the
leaders in the Luning district and is
held under option by Fred B. WeiI
of this city.
Mrs. Herming, a Mexican woman
who owns valuable property in the
district, has recently let three leases
Ore from the leases has given as
says as high as 8 per cent in cop
per.
DR.. Plymire, in addition to his
mining interests, owns valuable
marble quarry situated about two
miles from Luning. He has loaded {
car with the marble extracted from

The marble is of an excellent grad
and it is expected that the initia
shipment will be followed by man,
orders from the coast dealers.
Fletcher has mining interests il
the Luning district and he is now al
ranging for the resumption of worl
on the property he controls

FIRE OCCURS
At ASSAY OFFICE
OF T0NOPAH EX.
BLAZE QUICKLY ExTINGUISHED
AND DAMAGE is VERY
SMALL

A defective gasoline burner in the
assay office of the Tonopah Exten-
sion company set the roof of the
building ablaze shortly before the
noon hour today and an alarm was
sent in for the paid department. The
Dlaze, however, was extinguished with
the aid of the mining company fire
fighting apparatus, with the damage
being slight.
The entire roof of the building
was ablaze at the time the mine
whistle sounded the alarm, and the
mine and mill employees strung a
line of hose and made rapid prog
ress in extinguishing the blaze. When
the department arrived after quick
run the blaze was practically out.
This is the second time the assay
office has caught fire during the
past year, but in both instances the
damage was light.
