NyE COUNTY REPUBLICANS
TO HAVE FULL TICKET

The republican county central
committee met last night and decid-
ed to place a full ticket in the field
without regard to the suggestions
of fusion with the democrats, says
the Bonanza. This decision was
reached after several conferences at
which the democratic county central
committee insisted on fusion along
impossible lines. The republicans
said that in the interest of good gov
eminent they would entertain
lures tentatively offered for an ap-
but when it came to a showdown the
court house crowd insisted on retain
ing control of every important office
and declined to make any concessions
that might lead to a mutual under
standing and a friendly adjustment
of differences so hat both parties
could work in harmony for the pub
lie good and a better ministration of
county affairs.
The oligarchy at the court house
demanded the offices of sheriff, audi
tor and recorder, district attorney,
one commissioner and four assembly
men out of the five allotted to Nye
county. The republicans were will
ling to draw lots for the choice of
sheriff, but this fair proposition was
rejected, the present officials insist
ing they were entitled to retain their
jobs and become public pensioners.
In other words, the court house ring
wanted to fuse without fusion and
expressed a willingness to let others
come in and help them out if the tax
payers would keep off the lot and
play ball in their own back yard.
Under the circumstances the repub-
lican committee turned down the
suggestion and decided to make the
race on the straight issue outlined by
a resolution declaring for a business
mems administration through the Sc
lection of candidates who have DEM
onstrated their fitness for managing
public affairs by the success attained
in their own business.
The republican county central COM
mittee then adjourned to meet again
next Saturday evening at the office
of Grant Crumley. when preliminar-
les for the campaign will be com
pleted.

LAST CHANCE COUNTRY
PROMISING IN COPPER

Lyle c.. Durley. who has been at
Doyle and vicinity for three months,
returned to Reno yesterday with his
wife. He is looking after his lumber
interests in the northern country
and at the same time is developing
his mining prospects. Mr.. Durley
says:
THE Last Chance country is look
ing like a coming copper producing
district. There are big bodies of ore
averaging four per cent. The values
are easy to concentrate and are being
opened at depth preparatory to in
stalling a plant for the working of
the ore. Considerable activity is
noticeable, particularly in the Lud-
wick and Novak properties, both of
which are equipped with plants Of
machinery and are working day and
night. No ore is being shipped, but
little waste is being taken out in the
course of development work. = Ga

VIEWS OF HAYSTACK

Whether or not the recently dis
covered and exploited camp of Hay
stack, New, will forge to the front
or soon be forgotten is a question
that, in the opinion of some men
now on the ground, is likely to be
settled at an early date.
In a letter to John Geiger, James,
Tonkin, a veteran miner of JungoS
yesterday expressed the opinion that
the camp was coming up" and told
of a reported strike where the ore
went from 81 to $3.50 per pound.
Another letter from George B. Aus
tin confirmed the story of the rich
strike and also told of revival of ac-
tivity in the Pine forest district to
the north, where extensive placer OPP
erations are being undertaken.
Mr.. TOnkin said that bill" De
Camp, a well-known mining operator
of Cripple Creek, was on the ground,

PRACTICAL JOKE PLAYED
ON PIONEER BRIDEGROOM

Charles H. Ferry and several
friends Friday night put one over"
on L. J. Hubbard, a resident Of Pr
oneer, who, with his bride, returned
to that camp yesterday afternoon aft
or a stay of two days at the Gold
Held hotel. Posing as al officer of
the law, Ferry went to the room of
the happy couple and placed the
groom under arrest. saying that he
was wanted to answer a serious
charge at Pioneer.
Impressed with the demeanOr of
Ferry, Hubbard accompanied him to
the lobby of the hotel, where the
other practical jokers had gathered.
Hubbard was escorted to the office
of Augustus Tilden, who failed to
make good as 'the judge" by laugh
ing and giving the joke away. Hub
hard however, was sentenced to pur-
chase liquid refreshments for the
crowd, which he willingly did.

w. A. CLARK BUILDING
MODEL SHELTER TOWN

w. A. Clark Of Montana declares
that he is shortly to realize one of
his ambitions, and that is the build
ing of a model smelter town that will
be all his own. This is being built
at Clarkdale, Ariz., about 4 miles
from and 1000 feet tower than his
United Verde mine at Jerome. The
town already has 1875 houses, with
spacious door yards for the children
to play in and a $4,000 school
house. The houses are all 60 feet
apart. A brick kiln is turning out
10000 brick a day for the houses.
The houses are modern in every way
with water, light and sewerage. No
red light district will be allowed in
the town and only a few liquor con-
cessions will be granted. The town
is to be policed by Mr.. Clark's own
men, so there will be no politics in
the department. AS everything in
the town will belong to Mr.. Clark.
and he owns thousands of acres sur
rounding the town, Objectionable
characters can within "a hours be
escorted far beyond the city limits.
The new smelter at ClarksdaIe, which
will treat United Verde and custom
ores, will be finished by Sept. 1, and
will have a capacity of 5000, 900 lbs.

finn TRIAL JURY
IS DISCHARGED
FAILS TO REACH VERDICT AFT
Err DELIBERATING THIRTY
FIVE HOURS

Failing to reach a verdict after de
liberating for thirty-ive hours, the
iurors in the trial of Patrick Finn,
occused of the murder of Postmaster
Thomas VI. Jones of Ida in h a
town on the March %. were dis
charged by Judge Somers of the dis
trict court at Q o'clock Friday night.
The Jury stood Z to 3 in favor of
conviction. District Attorney M. A.
Diskin has not determined upon his
future course in the case, but 1t Is
thought that Finn will be given a
second trial.
In making a third and final report
TO Judge Somers, Foreman G. b.
Ports stated that from first to last
the voting to reach a verdict re-
NAMED the same. He further ex-
plained that the jurors had fuliy
discussed innumerable times the
evidence presented in the trial, but
that they were unable to reach a YER
dict. Judge Somers asked the Jur-
ore individually whether or not they
thought they could reach a verdict
by further deliberation, and in each
instance he received a negative re-
plv. Convinced of the futility OF
further deliberation by the jury,
Judge Somers granted the request OF
the members that they be dismissed.
The personnel of the jury follows:
James Beaton, j. G. F. Berghauser.

GYPSUM PRODUCTION
IN j. s. IN YEAR 1918

Gypsum, the rock that makes plas-
ter of paris, was mined in the United
States in 1913 to the extent of g.
55995OS short tons, an increase of
9S,751 tons over the production of
1912, according to r. w. Stone of
the United States geological survey.
The total value of gypsum and gyp-
sum products produced in 1913 was
~$6,774,S22, compared with $685.
90S in 1912, an increase of $210,914.
Gypsum sold crude without calcin-
ing and used principally as an in
gredient in Portland cement and
paint and as land plaster amounted
to 463,136 short tons, valued at
$697,066, which is a good increase
over the business of 1912. About IS
per cent of the gypsum sold crude in
1913 was used for Portland cement
at an average value of $1.49 a ton.
The quantity sold for this purpose is
steadily increasing. The quantity of
gypsum sold crude for land plaster
lClldiuOu ACdlly oIdtlOholy "
four years, but the average price
dropped in 1913 from $2.O2 to $1.75
a ton.
There was an increase of 42,175
tons in the amount of calcined gyp-
sum sold in 1918, yet the average
price per ton was $3.43-the same
as in 1912. A total of 1,6SO,157
short tons was calcined for wall plas-
ter, Keenes cement. plaster of Paris,
etc. About 100000 tons of this
amount was used for mixed wall plas-
ter, the sO-called cement plaster and
hard wall plasters of the building
trade.
1t is interesting to note that only
ten years ago Tin 1909 did the out
put of the gypsum industry first pass
the million dollar mark. The pres
ent production of over $500, 900
tons, as shown by the figures. goes
very largely into the manufacture of
plasters. So long as concrete on
structiOn remains in public favor the
demand of Portland cement manu-
facturers for gypsum as an ingredi-
ent assures the gypsum industry of
good business at points e Port
land cement mills, and the increas-
ing sales of hard wall plaster speak
well for it's success.
A marked advance in the quantity
and value of gypsum imports was
made in 1913. There was an in
crease of 34,6S6 tons of u%nground
gypsum over importations of 1912,
the total importation of unground
gypsum in 1913 being 447,3S3 short
tons. valued at $~473,594.
These figures will later appear in
a chapter of Mineral Resources" on
the gypsum industry Of 1918. The
chapter will also contain descrip-
tions of the occurrence of gypsum in
% states and in Alaska.

NEW STRIKE MADE
At PIONEER MINE
ENTIRE SOUTHERN DISTRICT is
REPORTED ACTIVE AND
GOOD FINDS MADE

At a level somewhat below the
hundred foot, the Indiana property
has penetrated the orebody which
the management has been searching
for, says the Carrara Obelisk. The
ore is deposited in the largo body
peculiar to the Pioneer section and
is of the same type as that of the adj
joining property, the Pioneer Con-
~solidated, its value being around $40
to SIP.
The Indiana is being worked by a
Denver syndicate under the direct
management of Mr.. Fred Miliken.
At Telluride, the properties under
the management of Mr.. j. B. Kier-
nan, are still under process of de-
velopment.
The Banner tunnel is now in 1900
feet, running through formation of
lime, rhyolite, porphyry and quartz
intrusions. The tunnel is being run
for the purpose of cutting the big
porphyry dyke so prominent upon the
surface. The Columbia shaft is now

ton has been established and drift
ing commenced.
The new mill of the Sunset prop
erty, at Rhyolite, is rapidly coming
into form. The foundation is COM
pleted and the frame work very near
ly up. The mill is being built with
the idea of treatment of low grade
ore, and through it, it is to be hoped,
will be found an outlet for ore pro-
duced from many of the smaller prop
critics in the district which find ship
ping to distant mills too expensive.
The Carrara leasing syndicate is
working steadily along through the
medium of the drift along the high
grade deposit in the hopes OF getting
out a second shipment before the
first of the month.
Very nearly a carload has been
sacked and is now awaiting transpOr-
tation to the railroad.
