TWO RUNAWAyS
CAUSE DAMAGE
TO MACHINES
ARE SLIGHTLY
DAMAGED DURING WINDY
AFTERNOON INCIDENTS.

Ignorance of the ways Of bust
ling community and the failure to
tie his automobile TO the curbstone,
resulted in a slight damage to the
machine owned by Jake Goodfriend
last evening. Goodfriend drove over
from Goldfield during the afternoon
and his auto was left standing in
front OF the Butler theater.
Shortly afterward Mike Glosgovas
of the Extension grocery store pur-
chased a new horse for his delivery
team. and was hitching the animal
to the wagon. The steed became
frightened and started down the
street. One OF the front wheels of
the wagon interlocked with the front
wheel of the auto and the two We
hicles travelled together The auto
started for the gasoline pumping sta
tion in front Of the Lothrop-Davis
company and after coming in con
tact with the pump the horse was
thrown to the sidewalk
The damage to the auto was slight,
nevertheless the owner insists he will
tie it to post the next time he
visits the city. The horse likewise
escaped damage, while the wagon
fractured shaft.
Another runaway occurred earlier
in the afternoon on Main street in
which the automobile belonging te
Superintendent Bradshaw of the Bel
mont and the Wells Fargo wagon
figured. The machine was driven by
Mrs Bradshaw and lightly collided
with the heavy wagon. The whee
of the express vehicle was chained
and the horses after running fol
about half a block were stopped
The front of the automobile wa!
smashed.

GOOD CONTENT
QUICKSILVER
IN NINA
ORES
OF SPECIMENS SHOWS
NEARLY SEVEN PER CENT
or MERCURY.

Analyses made of the cinnabar ore
from the new Nina discovery show
the content to be big in mercury.
Several specimens brought to Tono-
pah by the stampeders from this dis
trict have undergone analyses at
hands of local chemists and the re-
turns are practically the same in
every instance. The first report was
made by Adolph Meyers, Of the Ne
vada-California Power company who
late yesterday afternoon announced
that the ore showed about 61s per
cent mercury. During the afternoon
Prof. Jos. Scott, teacher OF chem
lstry at the high school, conducted
two experiments and the returns, al
though of different specimens, show
ed mercury to the extent of 6.S1 per
cent and 7.19 per cent
1t was also discovered that the
rock carried lead but no determine
tion was made as to the extent The
value ofs the mercury ore is best
appreciated when 1t is known that
rock containing less than one per
cent quicksilver is being worked at
profit in California, while at lone
the ore frequently contains about Ia
/ per cent mercury
The analyses were made from ore
taken from property located by Sum
merfield, Buck and Shepherd, about
half mile north of the original
strike. The ore from the Pepper
Keough main strike gave returns as
high as II per cent.

REDUCTION WILL
AMOUNT To Is
PER CENT IN
FRFIGHTS
RAILROAD cCu lssloN ISSUES
LATE STATEMENT AS TO
RECENT ORDER.

The following statement of facts
has been sent out by the railroad
commission and partially describes
the benefits TO be derived by the re-
cent order reducing freight rates
within the state:
The railroad commission, on June
IS, 1913, entered an order reducing
lntra-state class freight rates on the
Southern Paficic company's system
in Nevada, the order being based
on a reconsideration Of cases 76
and 1879 In which orders had already
been entered, the validity of which
have been pending the in the United
States circuit court, district of Ne
yada.
The opinion gives a history of the
two cases under reconsideration and
states that the final conclusions have
been reached on the basis Of the tes.
timony submitted in the original
hearings, In the hearings before the
United States circuit court, and az
the hearing on reconsideration which
was held June s, 1913. 1t is further
set forth, that in the Judgment Of
the commission, the rates heretofore
prescribed In cases rs and 139, need
substantial modification in view of
changed conditions.
The order prescribes a new scale
OF class rates to govern the move
ment of freight. and vacates the for
mer orders of the commission as
soon as the new rates are put into
full force and effect.
On the basis Of the tonnage NOV
ing, the reduction will amount to ap-
proxlmately 20 per ment when com.
pared with the present rates In ef.
feet. and this order prescribes ap-
proximateiy 10 per cent greater re-
duction than the orders in the for
mer cases which we're vacated
The rates prescribed by the com
mission will mean great saving to
shippers of freight in the state Of
Nevada, and It effects reductions In
the class rates between practically
every point in the state OF Nevada
upon the main line and branches OF
the Southern Pacific company, anc
from main line Southern Pacific
points 10 points on the Tonopah &
Goldfield railroad which will be au
tomatieally reduced by the combina
tion Of the new rates applying tt
Nina plus the rates established b.
the Tonopah & Goidfield railroad t
points south; further the order vii
effect reductions to points located
on the Nevada Northern railway, Ne
vada Central railroad and the Ecu
Nevada railway, on account o
the reduction In rates to the South
ern Pacific company's functions will
those roads.
These rates are to become effect
i've July /, 1913, and aside from tn
great saving OF freight charges ol
the present movement it will III
doubtedly mean that shippers in tn
state of Nevada will be able to great
ly increase their business on accoun
of these lower charges for the trans
portation Of their commodities
