BITTEN BY SNAKE
ALMOST DIES
BOutell Does Snake Charming
Stunt With SidGWindeT
in Saloon.

Sunday night a workman from the
shops named +. Boutell did snake
charming stunt in a resort in the RED
light district. In some manner a speci-
men of that most venomous of all
rattlesnakes, the sidewinder, was dis
covered near the resort. Boutell inn
mediately began the smart Aleck act
by taking the snake into the saloon,
teasing il, making passes at it with
his hands and finally, in a foolhardy
state of mind, picking it up in his
hands. Mr.. Sidewinder did as might
have been expected. sinking his poison
Gus fangs into the index finger of Bou-
tells right hand.
After twenty-four hours of agony,
his hand and arm being swollen to the
size of a mans leg, the local physicians
gave up hope and sent the sufferer to
Los Angeles on the train Tuesday
night. The report comes back that
Boutell finally overcame the effects of
the venom and is now recovering.

BUSCH DEAD IN
DEATH VALLEY
Well Known RhyOlite Man Meets
Death in the Deserts
Awful SOlitudeS.

F. A. Busch, member of the firm of
Busch Brothers, located for the past
eight years at Rhyoite, met an awful
death from thirst and heat in Death
Valley Tuesday last.
Having purchased new automobile
+ in Los Angeles, Busch attempted to
/ drive the machine from there to Rhyo-
lite, accompanied by young man
aged about 81, whose name is said to
be White. After passing the Keane
Wonder nine on the border of Death
Valley tley were warned by sheep
herder not to attempt the crossing on
account of the intense heat. Not de-
tered, Busch and White went on. The
sheep man thereupon telephoned to
Rhyolite, advising that if the two did
not make their appearance by evening
a relief expedition should be sent out.
When the travellers failed to appear
autos were started from Rhyoiite, and
the dead body of Busch discovered in
the road within a mile of the mine.
Nothing was then known of White.
After bringing the body of Busch to
Rhyolte the searchers returned to
seek further. They found the young
man, White, at the automobile. He
said that the machine had stuck in the
sand and that he and Busch were unable
to extricate it. The water in the can
teen becoming low, Busch instructed
him to go back to Stove Pipe Springs
to fill it. This he did, leaving Bush at
the machine When the searchers
found the body of Busch, White was
still absent on his hunt for water, but
succeeded in making his way back to
the machine with small supply. 1t is
supposed that Busch tried to walk back
to the mine, but fell, overcome with
the heat and thirst before he could
make it,
The body passed through Vegas last
night, being shipped to Colorado for
interment, accompanied by Frank
Busch A number of local Elks met
the funeral party at the depot and
assisted in the transfer from the l.. V.
& T. train to the Salt Lake Route.
"Dick" Archer, insurance adjuster,
arrived from Los Angeles Wednesday
to settle the loss in the Curtiss- Wilson
fire.

ELDORADO
PROSPERITY
More Activity and More People
in the Canyon than for
Twelve Years Past.

Judge VIM. Burke of Eldorado Can
Won came to Las Vegas to participate
in the Fourth of July celebration. He
reports considerable progress in the
Canyon The greatest amount of work
is being done by the Sterling Borax Co.
of Los Angeles, under the manage
ment of J. r. Musselman. This COM
pany recently paid $4,000 for the j..
M. TEX Evans property, consisting of
nine claims adjoining the famous Wall
Street claim. These claims are also
contiguous to the Techatticup claim,
owned by the Joseph Wharton heirs,
which claim in the early 70's produced
oyer So, 500, OO0
The Sterling company has also pur-
chased the Copper Canyon property
which formerly belonged to Chas. Mel
son, who was killed by the Indians.
They have started 200-foot double
compartment shaft on the Lucky Jim
claim and have installed complete
plant consisting of gasoline hoist, air
compressor, etc. The shaft is now
forty feet deep and is being sunk right
in the ore, and ore averaging $25 per
ton is now being taken out. The val
ues are increasing with depth.
Judge Burke owns the property north
of and adjoining the Sterling property.
He has driven three tunnels into the
ledge, one of which is 300 feet long
A wonderful showing is being made on
this property, and shipping ore is in
sight, but the Judge does not care to
ship, as there is talk of mill being
put up, and if this is done it will save
him fifty per cent more than he would
get if he shipped.
The Russian Eagle Mining Co. is 60
ing down to the 300-foot level and has
started work on the 200.
Another lease has been given on the
Fortuna property, owned by R. H. Ma
lone of Denver. This property has
been involved in litigation for the past
three years, but everything is settled
now, and it is understood that Malone
will reorganiZe as soon as the present
lease expires and will operate his own
property.
The Whale claim, owned by Allcock
and Webb. will start to work this
month with a force of men. Mr. ALI
cock was in Las Vegas this week pur-
chasing supplies.
The outlook for the Canyon has new
er been so encouraging, and since the
Russian Eagle has started to make ar
rangements for the construction of
hundred-to ton mill every leaser and mine

THE EXPOSITION
AT SAN DIEGO
Will Attract Attention Of Thousands to the
Possibilities of Southern Nevada.

What southern Nevada will gain
fornia Exposition is easily understood
when we reflect that thousands upon
thousands of visitors will be attracted
to its exposition because that exposi-
tion proposes to show the methods of
irrigation and to show the sections of
the West where irrigation is best prac-
ticed and bring the largest returns. In
that respect alone an exhibit from this
section is almost imperative. When
the comparative returns are considered,
southern Nevada stands in rank by
perial Valley of California surpasses
Las Vegas age. [volume] (Las Vegas, Nev.) 1905-1947, 1913-07-12

Southern Nevada has a more vital
interest in the Panama California Ex-
position at San Diego than in any eff
fort that has ever been made to adver-
tise the resources of the southwestern
portion of the United States, for it is
to southern California that we must
look for most of our new citizens as
soon as tn Canal opens.
1t is a fact that southern Nevada is
the only section that dra IS southern
Californian away from that favored re-
gion and that there are many hundreds
already owners of land in this part of
the state

owner in the Canyon has started to
save his second-class ore, which here
tofore was not of sufficient value to
ship.
The entire Eldorado district is now
more prosperous than for many years.
Not for twelve years have there been
so many miners and prospectors in the
Canyon nor so mnch real mining work
going on. Many prospectors, especial
ly, are being attracted to the Canyon
by the activity, and it is believed by
those best informed on the situation
that the coming year will be one of
great prosperity for the district

Court Postponed.

Judge Peter J. Somers has wired to
County Clerk Harmon that it is neces-
sary to postpone holding court in this
city for the reason that Miss Wilson,
court stenographer, was compelled to
leave for Oakland, Cal, by the inn
pending death of her father.
As soon as it is possible to secure
another stenographer who is competent
to do the work, Judge Somers will
come to Vegas to attend to the court
business now requiring attention.

Tom Osborne Here.

T. J. Osborne, one Of the principal
owners of the famous Mendha mine
near Phoebe, as well as the owner of
valuable acreage in the Moapa Valley
and of residence property in this city,
arrived in Vegas Wednesday evening
to remain a few days.
Mr.. Osborne reports that the mill
just completed for the Mendha was
started recently and is now operating
very successfully with a capacity of
200 tons per day

no less than Nye and Esmerada, have
more to gain by showing their resources
at San Diego than at any other place
They have more new fields to offer
than any other section of the state
The irrigable lands in southern Nevada
are attracting great many settlers
and will continue so to do until they
are all appropriated. The presence of a
great artesian belt through this part of
the state, the favorable climate and
the rich soil all combine to make of
this region a future farming section
second to none in the great West.
The relation between this section
and the Exposition to be held at San
Diego is therefore obvious. 1t is "a
fact that land buyers have already
been in Las Vegas making purchases,
attracted here by the talk of the San
Diego Exposition and what southern
Nevada Will show there. These buyers
were simply taking time by the fore
lock and are making investments they
believe will net them large profits in
the near future. Land is cheaper here
than in any other section of the West.
and the climate, is more nearly like
that of southern California than that
of any other portion of the West. 1t
naturally follows that southern Cali
fornians prefer this section to any
other.

RETURNS ID PHOENIX
 AFTER TWELVE YEARS
Howard C. Boone Formerly Terri
 torial Auditor.

For the first time in twelve years Howard C. Boone former territorial auditor and now president of the Interstate Life Insurance Go. of St Louis is visiting in Phoenix. MT Boone was amazed at the changes that had taken place since he was last here ThirtY-twO years ago MT Boone came to Arizona and became d COW puncher in the eastern part of the state with headquarters at Duncan then in Grahom county. He then went into the mercantile busl- ness which he followed for some years with success.
 When Governor l.. C Hughes was appointed by President Cleveland in 1893 MT. Boone became territorial auditor During his term Of office he took the agency for the New York Life Insurance and so pushed busl- ness that in shoft time his busi- ness for the New York Life eXtend- ed over all the south west. He re signed from the auditors office to devote himself entirely to that agency and for the first time firmly estab- Iished that company in this part of the country.
 Fifteen years ago Mir. Boone de- ciding to return east turned the agency over to General R. Allyn Lewis He became associated with the Interstate Life Insurance com pany and for the last ten years he has been president of it.
 In looking back over his business and official life in> Arizona. MT Boone can regard all phases of ii except one with satisfaction. He did not shine as a COW puncher Though the cowboys held him in such esteem that they did not want to wound his feelings by harch criti- cisrn. after he got out of it they have frequently expressed the opinion that he was the .bummest'' cOwpunchel ever seen in those parts.
 MT. Boone who will be in town for several days is stopping at the Hotel Adams.
