CAMP IS IN GRIP
OF HUGE GUFFAW
HAVING BEEN "BUNKOED" THEY
SEE THE JOKE AND
LAUGH

When the man called it the Cold
field Fourth of July Knocker" he
knew what he was talking about.
Some time prior to the Fourth, a
local solicitor, r. H. Hillen, called
upon the merchants and business
men of Goldfield offering advertis-
ing space in what purported to De a
sort of humorous Fourth of July
program edition. He was working
under the instruction of John T.
Field, who sometimes gives his ad-
dress as Goldfield. 1t was stated that
the paper" would be freely illus
trated and a copy of an edition is
sued at Manhattan on the previous
Fourth of July was exhibited.
The business men of Goldfield, al
ways liberal in their donations, sub
scribed for space in the "knOcker'
without asking many questions, and
then proceeded to forget all about
the incident. Each subscriber was
supposed to receive two copies OF
the funny sheet on the Fourth,
and when they were not Forthcoming
on that date a few recalled the mat
ter. Apparently nobody knew any
thing about the publisher, and the
coup" was a dead issue until Fri
day, when John T. Field, a giant in
stature "who can't find work." ap-
peared on the streets with a bundle
of 'Knockers"-Goldfield knockers
and attempted to sell them at 25
cents per.
When copies of the alleged Josh"
sheet were examined by local sub
scribers they were found to be reek-
ing with I. w. w. literature, and
then the fun began. The first man
to seek Fields scalp was r. Fl. Hill
len, who had solicited the local ad-
vertisements. He said he had been
bunked by Field, who had represent
ed to him hat nothing of a political
nature was to find it's way into the
"Knocker.' At first the subscribers
were wild and eagerly sought an &C
counting. But-what could the poor
girl do? Soon smiles began to push
dSlue DldCh lOOhS, anu ny lhio ihO
ing the whole town was in the grip
of a huge guffaw. The joke was too
good! Good nature had caused bus
mess men to become temporary suck
ers, so why repine?
But as to Field! Having sown
the wind he reaped the whirlwind.
A nemesis was on his trail in the
shape of Mr.. Hillen. and the expon-
ent of I. Won't Workism had no
peace. Hillen followed him. and as
fast as he could lay hands OF a copy
Of the 'knocker" he consigned 1t
to the flames. Late yesterday after
noon Field called at the sherif's Of
flee, for what purpose is not exactly
known. but while there he was told
hy Deputy Sheriff Bogard in Ian
guage not susceptible of misconstruc-
ton that his room was preferable
to his company. Having stated that
he was an I. w. w. and that his
habitat was Tonopah, he was told
to hit the trail for the silver camp.
IL the meantime. sit is to taught"

REPORT OF H|GH-GRADE
STRIKE PURE CANARO
LURIUM FIND is WITHOUT
FOUNDATION

1t becomes the Stars duty to pub
lish the fact that the sensational
story sen out from National last
week that a big high grade strike had
been made in the White Rock lease,
with millions in sight, was absolute
ly without foundation.
1t o t%ranspires, from tests made
in Winnemucca and elsewhere that
the so-called black tellurium ore,
which it was claimed had been test
ed in National and found to be
worth from $50 to $40 a pound, is
nothing nor than an iron sulphide,
associated with antimony. 1t is not
worth as many cents per ton, accord
ing to an assay of the stuff made here
yesterday, as it was claimed it would
run dollars per pound.
The story of the alleged strike
was published in good faith by this
paper, the information being receiv-
ed from reputable citizens of Nation
al. Every effort possible was made
to verify the truth of the strike, and
from every source of information it
was reiterated that the strike was
the biggest thing yer made in Ma
tional and that there was no ques-
ton of the marvellous value of the
ore, from tests that had been made
in National.
From the best understanding of
the matter that can be reached it
seems that the of the lease
were completely fooled in regard to
the value of the alleged high grade
ore. They had taken out nearly forty
sacks of the ore, which they sup
posed was worth about $4,000, and
kept it under armed guard for sew
eral days before they realized their
mistake.
Undoubtedly the publicity given
this strike" will react to the det-
riment of the mining situation at
National. but the people there who
sprung the story and substantiated
it a%fterward, fooling, if not victimiz-
ing, the press and public, are to
blame.
Some good may result, however, Ii
this fiasco has the effect of causing
others in future to keep their stories
of mining discoveries, values, sizes
of ore bodies and width Of veins
within the facts and the limits of
reason.-Humboldt Star.

GOlOf|ElO BEATEN
BY T0N0PAH CLUB
INABILITY TO HIT IN PINCHES
LOSES GAME FOR LOCAL
TEAM

Failure to hit in the pinches,
coupled with numerous errors by the
home team, enabled Tonopah to
squeeze out in the lead by a score of
~ to II over the All-Stars yester-
day afternoon before a large crowd
at the local park. The game was a
SUGGEST from start to finish. Sever
al times during the game the local
boys had the sacks filled only to lose
their chance to score by their in
ability to hit in the pinches. In the
ninth inning, with two out, Mayer
was hit by a pitched ball. Nichols
followed with a twO-bagger. and with
second and third occupied and one
run needed to tie, Mccall, who was
evidently out of form, struck out.
The fielding of the local boys was
poor. most of Tonopah's counts be-
ing registered on errors. Noble, In
right field, was the bright particular
star of the afternoon. Besides &C
cepting several difficult chances, he
whanged the pill for three doubles
and a single in five times at the bat.
J.. Morrison and Teer played their
usual steady game, while Harris and
Walter Coffey starred for the silver
camps aggregation.
The local boys showed better team
work in yesterdays fracas than they
have in any game this season and
! could undoubtedly defeat any team
they have played this season by fill
ing a couple of weak spots end Sc
curing a little batting practice.
Batteries-Tonopah, Hopkins and
O'Connell; Goldfield, Nichols and
Walsh.
Umpires-Brown and Drabnick.

LEAD ORE MOVING
OUT FROM TECOPA

The old Tecopa mine, owned by
the Graves lead interests of Phila-
delphia, continues to ship fifty tons
daily over the Tonopah & Tidewater
without any evidence of cutting down
the shipments. The railroad COM
pany has begun an experimental gar
den at Amargosa, and next year pro-
poses to increase the area under cul-
tivation so as to practically demon
strate the value of the soil of that
region. The extension of the Death
Valley line to the Biddy Mccarthy
borax mine goes right along in spite
of the torrid weather. and it is ex-
pected that the road will be in opera
ton by the end of September.-Bon-

EMMETT BOYLE TO
Be CANDIDATE
1T is SAID HE WILL RUN FOR
GOVERNOR ON DEMOCRATIC
TICKET

Following a democratic ncw-wow
held Saturday evening in the office
of C. H. Mcintosh, chairman of the
state central committee, came the
announcement that Emmett Boyle,
member of the Nevada tax commits
sion, will be the party candidate for
governor this year, says the Reno
Gazette. Boyle has made no formal
announcement of his candidacy, but
it is expected to come within the next
few days, either from him OF through
some prominent member of the par
ty. His candidacy will not come as
a surprise, as it was forecast several
months ago when the two cliques
into which the Democratic party in
Nevada is divided were searching for
a man to run for governor who would
be satisfactory to both sides. At
that time Boyle was advocated as the
gubernatorial candidate by the anti
Newlands crowd, although he is
said to be a supporter Of Newlands.
Leaders of both factions said Satur-
day night they will support Boyle in
case he is the party candidate.
Boyle has a general acquaintance
over the state and lived on the Com
stock many years. He is a graduate
of the state university, was state en-
gineer for a time and has been a
member of the tax commission since
it was created. He is a mining en-
gineer by profession.
In addition to Boyle, there was
considered as a candidate for COVER
nor at the conference Saturday night
one other state official, j. F. Shaugh-
messy, chairman of the tax commits
sion and member of the railroad
commission. but the conference set
tied or Boyle.
The withdrawal of Lieutenant
Governor Ross from the list of po-
litical candidates also was announc-
ed Saturday night. The lieutenant
governor informed the conference
that he would not be a candidate for
any elective office this year. His
announcement was accompanied by
no explanation. Former Governor
d. S. Dickerson likewise sent the
conference word that he would not
be a party candidate this year.

Mail Orders Issued.-R. T. Morrow,
Of the Pittsburgh divi-
sion of the Pennsylvania railroad, has
issued an order that hereafter trains
carrying too much mail to be thrown
OF at stations where stops are not
regularly mads will stop instead of
having the bags kicked off while the
train is in motion or carrying 1t on
TO the next regular stop.
1t has been the practice Of the mail
clerks to throw the mail off at sta
tions where stops are not made and
this custom had often held even when
there was a large quantity of mail.
The result has been that mail bags
have been strung along the tracks for
some distance. In addition to this is
the danger of bags falling under the
train when extra large ones or num-
ber are thrown off at once.

Purified Blood SOLVES
Most Of Sickness Problems

People who have been poulticing
and amounting for years and years
marvel at the way S. 8. s. does the
work
When you come to realize that the
skin and flesh beneath are composed
of a network of tiny blood vessels you
solve the mystery.
There are wonderful medicinal
properties in s. s. s. that follow the
course of the blood stream just as
naturally as the most nourishing food
elements.
Thousands know it to be really a
remarkable remedy. 1t contains one
ingredient. the active purpose OF
which is to stimulate the tissues to
sential nutriment And the "medi-
cinal elements of this matohless
blood purifier are just as essential to
we'll balanced health as the nutritious
elements of the meats, grains, fats
and sugars of our daily food" said a
well-known physician.
Not only this, but IL from the presence OF
some distributing poison there is a local or gen.
eral interference Of nutrition to cause boils,
carbuncles, assesses, and kindred troubles.
S. s. s. so directs the local cells that this
poison is rejected and eliminated from their
presence.
Then, too, s. s. s. has such specific stimula-
tion on these local cells to preserve their
mutual welfare and proper relative assistance
to each other.
Not drop of minerals or drugs Is used in
Its preparation. Ask for s. s. s. and just
insist upon having 1t. And II you desire skillful
advice and counsel upon any matter concerning
the blood and skin, write to the medical depart-
ment, The Swift Specific Co., 312 Swift Bldg,
Atlanta, Ga.
Do not allow some jealous clerk to lsrrup tho
atmosphere In eloquence over something '.just al
good" as S. S. s. Beware of all substitutes.
