NOVELTY DANCE
SCHEDULED FOR
NEXT WEDNESDAY
FAD NOW BEING TRIED IN THE
EAST SUCCESSFULLY is
BROUGHT TO ToNoPAH.

A novelty dance is scheduled to be
held at the Miners Exchange hall on
Wednesday evening, April 80 The
system of conducting these dances
has been followed out in the east
for the past year or two, especially
in the larger cities, and so great has
been the success that the plan is now
being tried in the western cities.
An admission of 10 cents is charg
ed, which entities a couple to one
dance. Thereafter 10 cents is charg
ed for each dance, the tickets beinl
taken up as the dancers congregatc
on the floor. Parties desiring L
participate in every dance will b,
charged $3.50 for ticket according
this privilege.
In many cases it has been foun'
that attendants at dances have n
desire to participate in every event
and under the new system the dane
lover pay for only the various nun
bers in which they participate. TIL
plan is not expensive and 1t is b,
lieved it will meet with favor a
the hands of the local dancing public

Wednesday May IA, was the date

plication for a new trial, and when
the case was decided adversely to
the defendant. the court directed
Judge Averill to again fix the date.

shooting, having preferred that meth
cd to hanging, the only remaining
alternative. He will be the first
murderer to be legally shot to death

years.

COSTLY TRIAL
IS AvERTED BY
GRAND JURY
CASE AGAINST ED M'kELVEY is
IGNORED BY INoUlSlToR-
IAL BODY.

Ed McKelvey of Manhattan who
was arrested last week following a
fight with Cal Wilson at Spanish
Springs was given his release yester-
day afternoon after the grand jury
had refused to return an indictment
Wilson, who was shot in the back
with a load of gun shot by Mckelvey
appeared before the grand jury and
announced that he had no desire to
prosecute the case. From appear
ances the blame of the affairs rests
equally between the two participants.
Rather than return an indictment
with unsatisfactory. evidence and
place the county as the expense OF
costly trial. the members of the
jury determined that the best policy
would be to ignore the entire affair

CAPITAL IS NOW
SEARCHING FOR
GOOD MINES
SUCCESS OF NEVADA INVEST
MENTs HAS TURNED ATTEN-
TIoN TOWARD WEST.

A recent issue of the Oakland Trib-
une contains an article, showing how
Eastern capital has been attracted to
Nevada. particularly to Tonopah and
Goldfield by legitimate mining. The
article is worthy of reproduction and
is herewith appended
The Philadelphia mining men who
have done so much for the develop
ment of Nevada, who have put their
money into actual development of
Goldfield and Tonopah, are gradually
finding their way across the Sierras
into the old mining camps.
The great profits of these invest
ments from Tonopah and Goldfield
have made mining, to the Philadel.
phia mind and purse, legitimate
business enterprise, and it is likely
that, in the next few years, many
of the old mines will be reopened
on a scientific and strictly business
plan.
One of the leaders of this west
ward movement is Charles f. Knox,
who has offices on Montgomery
street and has bought home in
Berkeley.
He is operating some of the larg
est combinations in Nevada, and pur
poses making his permanent home
and business about the bay.
In looking over the mines of Tuo
lumne county his practced eye was

SECURES BOND
ON PROPERTY OF
IRWIN BROTHERS
NYE COUNTY MINING PROPERTY
MAY BE PURCHASED BY
CALIFORNIA PEOPLE.

George w. Seay returned yester-
day from Irwin canyon in Nye coun-
ty, where he spent a few days with
Harry Malloy, who has been engaged
in opening up mining property there
for the past year, says the Ely Rec
ord. Mr.. Seay is an old time mining
man, and was so we'll pleased with
the prospects of the camp that, in
connection with Mr. Malloy, he took
a bond on the mines of Irwin broth
ers for California parties, and will
put a force of men ON development
work the first of the next month.
Mr.. Seay will leave in a few days
for California to consult with parties
who are interested in the taking over
of property, but will return during
the present month. He will continue
to make Ely his headquarters, max.
ing the trip to the mines in an auto
which he will bring in on his return
from California
Mr.. Seay is an old time mining
man and was one of the original 10
Gators in the camp of Tombstone
Arizona, where he "made good.
Since then he has mined all tht
way from Mexico to the Arctic cir
Gle, but recently retired from thu
business and settled on a ranch il
California, which he found too pre-
sale for man of his energy AM
mining experience. Harry Mallo
is also mining man of wide eN
perienoe. The mines have been owl
ed by Irwin brothers for many years
and show considerable development
with good ore in all workings. On
shaft is down 100 feet and anothe
80 feet. There are 200 feet of drif
ing and much surface workings, a
. of which show good ore.
For some time past Mr.. Malloy hs
been associated with E. f. Va
derhoef, superintendent of the Nevat
e Con, in a group of claims at Irw
; canyon, which will be patented du
Z ing the present year. Mr. Seay

Jack Skuse and Harry Mordecai,
well known in Tonopah and formerly

we're injured several days ago near

lowing:
