ESTIMATES OF MARCH
CONSOLIDATED OUTPUT

The preliminary estimate Of
production of the Consolidated
Mines company for the month nf
March were given out Wednesday
by General Superintendent J. F.
Thorn and are approximately the
same as the estimates for February.
although returns for the month
of February, exceeded the eSti-
mates by a considerable sum.
As a rule the preliminary esti-
mates have been most conservative
and have almost invariably been
exceeded by the final returns. The
figures given for March poduction
show that the mill treated 30. 1872
tons, or an ave sage Of 972 tons
daily. The gross value recovered
is placed at $685., 400; operating
expenses $4,000 and net profits
are estimated at S4S5, 900. -

it can be used as polish for various

THE SMALL POX

There is considerable small pox
in mild form in the easten part
of the county. 1t started several
months ago when a man from Utah
ca me Ia TCcoma and Was about
the store with the disease. AS a
result all those who came in con-
tact with him were exposed to
the disease. While Mr.. Lees son
had the diseare,a a vaquero from the
Vineyard ranch went to Tecoma
and visited the store where tn e
young man was. He contracted
the disease md spread il among
the people at the ranch. There
have also been several eases at
Mnntello and Wells.
In order that the prevalence of
the disease might be ascertained
and steps taken to check il. the
commissioners requested DR.. West
to visit Tccoma and Other
points ard make an investigation
The doctor left here Tuesday night
and went to Tecoma. Wednesday
morning he took an auto and went
to the ~ mile raLch. There he
found Mrs. HCnninger with the
disease. At Dakefcld he found
two more cases. These three cases
were quarantined and placed under
a guard.
After making the necessary
arrangements for the care of these
cases he returned to TecOma and
went south TO the Buel school dis
trict. Here he found Mrs.
Whipplc and son and daughter If
MIR. Tanner with the disease.
These cases were all quarantined.
The people of this nrighhorhood
have all heen exposed and the
disease is pretty sure to spread.
DR.. West returned Wednesday
night and reported the conditions
to the commissioners. IN order to
hetter control the situation. a
deputy sheriff will be placed
at Tecoma To enforce a strict
quarantine and take such steps as
are necessary to prevent fufther
exposures to the disease.

SUICIDE OF JOHN 7. M'NAMARA

The funeral of Jonn T. Nc
Namara who committed suicide at
his home at Fort Halleck Friday
afternoon took place Sunday after
noon. His remains were followed
to the cemetery by a Lar &c number
of sgmpathizing friends.
Judge Klatte held an inquest
Saturday, but nothing as TO the
motive for the act was brought
ut by the evidence. The evidence
merely showed tnat the deceased
came to Elko Thursday and re-
turned to mis- home about o'clock
Friday.
There was nothing in his ap-
paarance or actions to denote any
thing out of the usual with him.
He went TO his room and shortly
afterward called Mr.. Jack O'Brien.
On answering the call. O'BrIen
found the deceased in bed. He
said ne had taken rarbolic acid
anI would be dead in five minutes.
He died shortly after. The jury
found that the deceased was a
native of Nevada. aged 80 years
and fourteen days and that he came
to his death by his own hands.
From Bert McNamara, brother
we learn that the deceased and his
brother, James, bought his
(Bertt's) interest, last fall in the
ranch and stock at Fort Halleck.
That they afterward sold about
$4,000 worth of stock. etc., and
deposited the money in the Hen.
derson Bank. That James had
been in town seveal weeks with a
broken arm and had drawn all but
$240 from the bank. Last
Tuesday or Wednessy night he left
town and mas not been heard from
since. John learned these facts
Thursday and became despondent.
Some of this money had been used
to pay bill owed by the firm but
gooddeal had been squandered He
evidently first thought of shooting
himself as he picked out revolver
at the Smith company and told
them to lay it aside for him. He
afterward changed his mind and
bought carbolic acid at the Elko
drugstore.
An aged mother, one sister
Mrs. Guy Weathers of Starr val
ley, and two brothers Bert and
James survive him. James is sup
posed to be in Portland, Oregon.
Mr.. Mcnamara was highly res.
pected by those who knew him
and his untimely death is deeply
mourned.
May God comfort and sustain
the aged mother and sorrowing
relatives.

FINDS VALUABLE
SILICA DEPOSIT

The Pacific Coast Silica COM
pany has been organized by James
k. Clark in order to protect his
rights to deposit of silica that he
found near Shoshone s,atiun of the
Tide"ater railroad, about 1875
miles south of Goldfeld, and for
the further purpose of placing the
commodity on the market.
More than three years ago Clark
dicovered this deposit. and since
then ne has been testing It, intro
ducing ii to consumers. and wo h
ing with the railroads for a freight
rate that would permit of shipping
ii with profit. la doing this he
gave to the United States Chemical
ron pany Of Los Angeles two car.
loads Of the silica free for testing.
IL Is alleged that the company or
some one induced by ii has sought
to jump the location of The silica
deposit and wrcst it from Clark.
Carloads of the commodity
which he sent 10 Los Angeles have
been attached. ard he in turn has
secured an injunction against the
L. s. Chcmi'al company. J.
Eyscnmaycr If Pasadena and
Alexander Yeoman have joined
with Clark in the formation and
financing Of a company that will
protect the interests, and furnish

rhIs silica sand is an aqueous
deposit of silica or pur. quartz
and because Of its manner Of
deposition it is pure and an almost
impa lpahle powder which CON
difICrs nIle superior and more
valuable than any other silica sand.
1t is superior for all concrete
construction and for the making
Of coarse and fine thing there is
nothing to equal il. The investi-
cations conducted by Clark have
shown that II is superior raw
material for the manufacture Of
glass. The Quartz Glass Manu-
featuring company Of Los Angeles
wants 200 tons per week as a
starter. Its consumption in tile
ana concrete contraction will be
only limited by its cost on delivery.
lieHce the value of the deposit
has become apparent and the con.
test for its posse ssiOn follows.
At another point. Ii miles from
Xahriskic. CLARK has discovered a
large deposit Of sapunareous clay.
This he has also introduced ard
found market for. A company
has been organized to handle this
property. The uses for this clay
are numerous. The large paper
mill at Everett. Washington. is
taking $50 tons weekly to use in
tha manufacture Of fine papers.
Soon that arid desert country,
practically the margin OF Death
Valley. will supply The world with
two other natural products TO add
to the borax production which has

C. Holden for the republican nom-
nation. Holden is the Ames col
lege expert who invented the seed
corn theory, and travelled up and
down the state-at the railroads
expense - teaching farmers how
to make two ears of corn grow
where but one grew before.
Holden is sometimes mentioned
as the Luther Burbank of the
cornfield." He calls most Iowa
farmers by their first name and
has kissed half the babies on half
the farms of the state. Which
isn't such bad foundation for a
gubernatorial candidacy, either.
Holden has delivered the goods,
CORNologieally speaking, and the
misunderstanding him to be a
safe and sane standpatter-pro-
pose to take advantage of his fame
to shunt him into the governor
ship.
The farmers of Iowa will de-
eide the issue, first in the party
primaries and, Ii Holden and
