TWO IMPORTANT ORE FINDS
REPORTED FROM MANHATTAN

What was ormerly the Merten &
Catwell lease on the Crescent comes
to the front this week with one Of
the most important strikes Of high
grade ore ever made in the history
of the district, says the Manhattan
Mail The strike was made from the
bottom level Of the lease workings
in the east drift The rich ore was
encountered in the hanging wall Of
the ledge. within the zone of enriched
schist which has furnished the ore
bodies mined from the upper levels
of the lease
A popularity of the specimen ore
is that a large proportion Of the gold
is found imbedded within calcitt
streaks
No estimate can be made as tt
the richness of the ore. Many OF tn,
specimens taken out will undoubtedl!
yield gold TO the extent Of s25 t,
$50 per pound Everywhere in tn,
vicinity of the strike, the gold ha
enriched the surrounding schist, $
that for several feet high grade mil
ore can be mined.
The Earl was running neck an
neck with the Crescent this wee
for high grade honors No soone
had the strike Of very rich or
been announced on the Crescer

part they could take in succoring
the injured who were reported to
number over score.
The Marion roadster had covered
seventeenth Of the distance when ain
accident occurred that almost cost
Malley his life. The machine over
turned and the sheriff was caught
beneath the steering wheel and pin
ned to the ground The gasoline
poured over his left side and he sus-
tanned painful burns from the raw
oil coming in contact with the flesh
He was treated at Goldfield and re-
turned to Tonopah shortly before
midnight. He disguised his suffer
lngs with genial smile and ex-
pressed desire to see his family
Ito assure them that his injuries had
not been misrepresented to allay
anxiety.
The accident was not due to any
fault Of the driver He was going
along the upper road at lively clip
on a smooth road when the steering
knuckle became disconnected. the
machine swerved to one side and
then turned turtle pinning Malley
beneath the steering wheel Billy
Walker, deputy sheriff was the only
other occupant He was hurled 20
feet ahead Of the ear but quickly
regained his feet to find he had
not been injured and ran back to
find what had become of his part
ner. Malley spoke from mis- cramped
position under the tonneau saying he
was not badly hurt and directing
how Walker should work to give
him quick relief Walker. by sheer
strength lifted the machine high
enough to enable small stone to
be inserted and then procured the
Jack and got the car high enough to
let Malley breathe freely Blocking
The weight with stones, Walker went
around to the other side and got
he weight off Malley's legs and then
began shoveling for dear life to get
Malley completely free. AS he was
doing this Bob Prouty came along
with a car load of men and Malley
was rescued from his perilous pre-
dicament Walker remained at Gold
field to look after the car but ar

windows of the Toggery. and are at
tracing considerable attention. The
rock is freely sprinkled with gold
and mafe from a point 800 feet in
the east drift of the Eary at the
$50 foot level.
J. w Whitman and c. w Millsap
who took a lease on the Earl soon
after the Brady lease expired. have
opened up two feet of good milling
ore in the east drift. and it was
from this ore body that the specl
mems were secured More Of the
rich stuff shows. and the leasers be.
lieye that quite quantity of it will
be extracted
In the west drift three feet OF
ore has been broken into, which.
judging from paintings taken, will
run from $50 to $50 ton, Miners
who have examined the rock and
panned it. believe this to be a CON
servative estimate of its value.
Some of the ore taken from the
west drift when assayed Thursday,
returned value Of $lS2 per ton in
gold.
The leasers are piling up nice
lot Of ore in the mine, which will
soon be hoisted.

AS night approached anxiety in
creased and residents grew nervous
with apprehension when a third |
storm that was little short Of the se-
verify Of the morning deluge broke
over the town There was neither
light nor power and the only illumi-
nation was the lightning that lit up
the town with vividness seldom
seen.
The scene was dismal Waters
roared, thunder crashed AMI wild
rumor filled the air until it seemed
as though bedlaR had broken loose
No way of verifying or contradict
ing the terrible reports could be
found as the only means of scanning
the ruins was by kerosene lamps and
candles. For an hour rain fell in
furious torrents and it seemed as if
there never would be any let up
but the fall abated about nine o'clock
and then people had to wait for
daylight to see what the day would
bring forth. Notwithstanding the
disheartening circumstances commit
tees of searchers continued to drag
the ruins and search for bodies All

Downtown was a scene of activity
that reflected the buoyant spirits
of the Goldfield business men.

LOSES HAND IN EXPLOSION OF
 STRANGE DEVICE
Object Picked Up I'm Street Proves Agency Of Dangerous
 Injury

Picking up in the roadway what he thought to be harmless tin-can, Bruno Skrzyd1ewSki, fourteen years old of Fairfield this morning re- mounted his bicycle and pedal1ing home proceeded to investigate its con tents. What the object of his re- search was may never be definitely known, because the resulting explo- sion blew 1t to atoms as we'll as the victims left hand. It is thought to be railroad torpedo, of the flat type which placed upon the tracks is ex- ploded by pressure from the engine wheels and serves to warn the en- gineer of danger ahead. Others think it to have been a illuminating cap used in blasting operations.
 The noise of the explosion attract ed attention of persons in Fairfield, and a turniquet was hastily improvis- ed after which the young man was rushed in a passing automobile to the emergency hospital. pr. c. R. Pratt found that all four fingers of the left hand had been blown away at the sec ond joint and the thumb at the first, leaving but stump of the former hand Although suffering intense agony the young man submitted to treatment after which he was taken to St. Vinoent's hospital where fur ther amputation may be necessary.
 He described the object he found in the roadway as being flat on one side and round on the other. He said the detonation took place as he was about to open it. Speculation is rife as to how the explosive came in the roadway near Fairfield.

|
 Hartford Jan. Ex-Governor Bald Fsvin has sent to the General Assembly a communication recommending the appointment of a single comIn1ss1oner fo represent Connecticut at the Pana- ana-Paciffce Internattonal exposition in San Francisco, 1915. He suggests the ,advisabiIfty of Connecticut's Joining other New England states in the eroc- crate appropriation would be ade- 1quate.
 He has sent the following commun- dcatfon relative to the New England railroad conference:
 '-On the invitation of His Elcellency, Governor FoES of Massachusetts, a conference of the governors of the New England states was held on January 25 at Boston, at which all but one were present, he having been detained by illness
 This congress unanimously adopted She following resOlution:-
 Voted, That the governor of each New England state be requested to ap- point two citizens of his state as m en- bern of a New England railroad con- ference to consider and report on the best method of edeveloping and Oper- atting the New England railroad Sys- tems; the members of said conference to serve without compensation, but their necessary expenses to be paid by the state appointing them.'
 ''I recommend that the comptroller be authorized to draw his orders on the treasurer for the necessary ex- penses of the two citizens of this state who may be appointed to take part in the proposed conference, including such contribution, not exceeding $500, as they may certify to him as reason able and necessary for the share of this state in any general clerical eX- penses attending the meetings of the conference, and the preparation and printing of any report which it may make
