LAW CALLED ARCHAIC
Spirited Address Made By President of
American Mining Congress

THE crying need of the mining
industry is a complete revision of the
mining laws" said DR.. David w.
Brunton of Denver, president of the
American Mining Congress, in his
annual address at Philadelphia last
week. He referred to the so-called
apex law as the most archaic ever
placed on the statute books. He in
Weighed against the recently passed
laws in many western States which
he claimed placed new burdens on
mining property, but pleaded for an
extension of the workmen's compen-
sation acts to all States.
DR.. Brunton said the mine-owner
and miner of the west are being
throttled by a gigantic smelling
monopoly, which he claimed not only
dictates the price to be paid for ore
but in some instances how much IRE
may be produced. Wildcat pro-
motion was also scored by the speak
err, who concluded with the statement
that the greatest service the mining
congress had accomplished had been
it's assistance toward creating the
Federal Bureau of Mines.

Machine Brains

An interest calculating machine has
been placed upon the market which
is so constructed that by a turn of
a wheel, time, interest, discount and
the number of days between two
dates can be determined instantly.
The machine also reckons dates of
maturity and tells whether such dates
fall on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday.
Time and interest are calculated by
me operation. The machine is said
to figure the actual number of days
in any interest transaction, based on
1865 days to the year. 1t is also said
to be adaptable to computing interest
in either foreign or American cur
rency. Mans functions are becom-
ing more mechanical every day, the
thinking and brain work now being
done by the pushing of a button or
the turning of a lever.

INDIAN FOUND IN SHAFT
Body OF Big Mouth Ike Located
AT Bottom of 40 Chin.
ney Shaft

Big Mouth Ike, an old Indian who
mas made his home for some time in
a wlckiup on the hillside between
the old Eureka Con. furnace works
and the railway depot, was found
dead Wednesday morning at the
bottom of an old chimney shaft at
the north end of the Eureka Con.
works.
Although Ike lived alone and away
from the other Indian wickiups. he
had been missed for about two weeks.
and when Indian George Dixon came
into town the first of the week he
was prevailed upon to make a search
for Ike. After hunting for him in
and around Eureka, he picked up a
fresh moccasin track near Ike's
wickiup and followed it to the edge
of the old chimney shaft, where it
ended. He felt certain the old In
dian had fallen into this, and sum-
moned aid.
This chimney shaft is a part of the
old refinery of the Eureka Con-. A
tunnel leads into the hillside for about
7Ofeet to the chimney, which ascends
some 40 feet to the surface. When
the refinery was operated and for
many years after, a large smoke
stack was set in this shaft, but this
was removed and it is said this shaft
is now unprotected against stock OF
any person falling into it.
When Dixon had obtained assis.
lance. an entrance was made through
the narrow tunnel to the bottom OF
the chimney and the old Indians body
was found there. His head and face
was considerably cut up and bruised,
and it is thought he was killed in the
40 foot fall from the surface.
Coroner l.. w. Cromer and Deputy
Sheriff X. A. Laird went down and
viewed the remains. They decided
an inquest was not necessary and
turned the body over to the Indians
here, who arranged and buried the
body in the Indian burial grounds.
Indian Ike had lived in and around
Eureka for years, and cut wood and
did odd jobs for a living. He was
inclined to warming his old Bones
every now and then with a little fire.
water, and sometimes took a drop
too much. 1t is thought that while
in this condition he lost his bearings
and stumbled into the abandoned
chimney shaft.

MARKING LINCOLN HIGHWAY
Route Across the County Expected To
Be Marked Out By October 81

Detroit, October 27.--The route
of the Lincoln Highway will be
marked, almost without a break from
New York to San Francisco by the
night of Friday. October 81, when
the dedication celebrations are to
be held across the country. Some of
the States, particularly in the West.
have already completed the work.
The official copyrighted marker OF
the association is 81 inches high,
comprising astrip of red three inches
wide, a band of white 16 inches wide,
and a strip of blue three inches wide
below. On the white band is the
large letter "L'' with the word Lin
coin" above and Highway below.
In many of the cities the route is
marked to-day. In Philadelphia the
Philadelphia Trade Association is
marking the route from one end of
the city to the other. In Omaha all
the signs are up as they are in Gin
ton, Iowa, and a dozen other points.
The markers are now being placed
across the State of Nevada and in
Utah, Illinois and other States the
work is progressing rapidly. In Ne
braska, H. E. F~redrickson, State
Consul, reports that about two-thirds
of the old overland trail has been
marked and that the balance will be
complete this week.
The various State Consuls report
an ever increasing interest in the
sale of contributors certificates.
Not only owners of automobiles but
persons in every walk of life are sub
scribing S. or more to the fund which
will within a short time result in the
construction of a lasting, Nation
wide memorial to Lincoln.

WEDOING CLOSES ROMANCE
Willow Creek Man Finds q Rich
Gold Bonanza, But Loses
His Wife

Tonopah Bonanza: Last Sunday
morning brought to a focus a ro-
nance of the desert that united two
happy hearts and left a husband free
to follow his own inclinations in de-
veloping a high-grade strike now
owned by the Willow Creek Gold
Mining Company. This may be one
of the compensations of nature, but
it remains to be seer whether gold
or affections tip the balance.
Last Saturday Judge Mark Averill,
sitting in the district court at Tono-
pah, granted a decree that separated
Alice Blackwell from w. E. Black
well, n of the best known prospec-
tors and ranchmen in the southern
country. The Blackwells lived at
Willow Creek, in the eastern end of
! Nye County, where the recent gold
strike vas made on what was known
then a. the Blackwell & Pappas
: lease. The lease has produced some
of the richest gold specimens seer in
: Tonopah but, owing to mis- marital
troubles, Mr.. Blackwell was induced
Q to part with his interest in the prop
erty to the Willow Creek Gold Min
ing Company, composed of Ely CAPT.
talists. The property rights of the
Blackwells were adjusted out of
court and the pair went their way.
,r Mrs. Blackwell took up a residence
at the Mizpah hotel and there met
Edward Heron, a former admirer,
and, after a renewal of the old
courtship, the flame of love was re-
" vived and a marriage arranged. TAX
y ing an auto trip to Goldfeld last Sum-
day morning, the knot was tied and
the couple returned here man and
n wife, to receive the congratulations
of their friends.
l.. Mrs. Heron is petite and ~vivacious
and was often seer on the streets of
y Tonopah in n of the modish, up
to-date plaid overcoats. Heron is
l. well known, as he has been employed
by the Railroad Valley Saline Com
pany. In course of his business trips
to Railroad valley he first met the
lady who is now his wife.

BALD MOUNTAIN MINES
MAY Be WORKED
Properties In That District Are
Now Being Investigated by
English Syndicate

w. G. Wright has just returned
from a trip to Bald Mountain, where
he has been for nearly a week inspect
ing anumber of mining claims in
Guiding the Copper Queen group, says
the Elko Press. This is a new field
and is believed to be very rich in cop
per ores. Mr.. Wright made an ex-
tended examination of a large terri
tory and is satisfied that it will be
one of the largest and richest copper
fields ever opened up. 1t is the
property of George Hanna of Shelton.
Mr.. Wright went to investigate
the new field for the benefit of an
English syndicate which is ready to
invest millions in this field if it should
be what is claimed for it. The ter
ritory in question is rs miles south of
Elko and about 80 miles from Ely.
The people of Ely r closely watch
ing this new field and adozen parties
have been out to the Bald Mountain
section on prospecting expeditions.
There is considerable excitement
over this great vein of copper ore. A:
soon as an official report is made tt
the English syndicate, and if it is sat
isfactory, then they will purchase tn,
property and go ahead with the de
velopment work. While Elko is tn,
nearest point. yet the tract of lane
embracing this rich copper vein is ir
White Pine County.
Mr.. Wright is a mining engineel
of years of experience and has pu'
in an assay plant in his building. H,
is now busy preparing his report t.
be submitted as the result of his ex.
animation.
The discovery of copper at Bald
Mountain adds another rich field tt
those already known, and Nevada
promises in a few years time to be
the greatest copper producing State
in the Union. The territory around
Ely is a rich one and Contact is going
to be a great camp. Now comes
Bald Mountain with an equal pros
pect. 1t is evident there are vast
quantities or copper in Nevada and
that this particular industry is but
in its infancy. 1t means millions fol
the people of this State and millions
more for the stockholders. With
the Guggenheims already operating
extensively and the certainty that
the English syndicate will be equally
as large a factor, Nevada will soon
be one of the richest and most pros
porous States in the Union. The
Free Press will soon announce the
official findings of Mr.. Wright after
he has submitted them to the English
syndicate.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Gets Out of Wagon to Shoot at Rabbit

that in his hurry to shoot the ANNA
he had shot off the third and fourth
fingers.
