FEATHERS AND EGGsHELLs.

are running egg ranches to supply their

OF GRAY SURE
Opposition to Editor as u. S,
Marshal Is Now Rapidly
Fizzling Out
ATTORNEYSHIP is IN AIR

The efforts to prevent the conf,r-
nation of A. B. Gray as United
States Marshal in Nevada have
failed so far to attract any atten-
tion. As they are based on the
fact that Gray was Populist when
he lived in Colorado, Democrats
here in Goldfeld do not attach any
Importance to them. They are
much more interested in the Sc
duously circulated report that R G
Whithers, who until last fall was
practicing attorney in Goldfeld
but now resident of Reno. would
be appointed United States District
Attorney. There is still some talk
in the north that this place is 60
ing to George Bartlett, former con-
gresham who was an indepen dent
candidate for associate justice of
the Supreme court at the last cleo
tion, but, according to gossip that
has come from Washington, With

Virginia at the same time as Presi.

campaign committee last fall

A great deal is being said and

A. r. Gray by the u. S. Senate as
Marshal for the State of Nevada.
The wires were made hot with all
sorts of unique kilograms from all
kinds of people making unheard of
statments. Not satisfied with the
telegraphic, wires the anonymous
letter writer is in evidence, and
q kgh it all, Mr. Gray is smiling
acently, and he will be con-
ifTmed by the United States Senate
at the proper time. And when con-
firmed he will make a good officer.

not selected samples. We are for

AS you probably know, we have
installed air drills with l6 by IL
by 10 Franklin compressor which
is driven by a 80 H. P. Doak gas
engine. Since the installation of
the drills our development has been
much better, thus lessening costs
of operation.
A winze has been sunk below the
tunnel level to a distance of 125
feet. Drifts were driven both direc-
tions from the bottom of the winZe,
upraises were made and stopping
operations have proven body of
very high grade ore. Considerable
ore has been sacked which will
average better than 5000 per
ton. The balance of the vein has
been broken down and milled. Re-
Gently new shoot Of ore was dis
covered which is sacking over $500
per ton. This shoot is about

main tunnel amounts to over 5000

which are about rs feet apart and
each carries three distinct ore
shoots. The property was never in
better shape for production than at

been opened and stopping is under
way in most of them.
