The formal opening of the Unity
club Saturday night was n of the
most successful events hat has ever
taken place in Goldfield. Even in
the palmy days of the camp such a
gathering as assembled at the club
rooms that night would have been
considered an event of unusual i'm
portance. From early in the even
ing until midnight the spacious
rooms were thronged by a dense
crowd of men, women and children.
Every available space was occupied
and everybody was having the time
of his young life. About s O'Clock
President Albert Burch mounted a
chair in the lobby and delivered a
short address of welcome which was
we'll received. A telegram was also
read from Mr.. George Wingfield, ad-
dressed to J. B.. Milne, secretary of
the club, which was as follows:
81 regret exceedingly that other
important matters will prevent my
being present at the opening of the
club. / firmly believe that it will
be a great success and of immense
value to it's members and to the COM
munity."
After these preliminaries, the
great crowd proceeded to take in
every nook and Granny of the club
house, the women especially taking
a huge interest in the portion set
apart for their particular enjoyment.
Throughout the evening a fine or
chestra discoursed good music and
supper and refreshments were served.
The success of the Goldfield Unity
club is assured beyond the perad-
venture of a doubt. 1t is not an eX-
aggeration to say that first and last
1000 persons visited the clubhouse
during the evening.
Charming Quarters
1t is exceedingly doubtful whether
there can be found anywhere in the
entire western country more com
plete, comfortable and attractive
family club quarters than have been
provided by the Unity club. They
have beer arranged and equipped to
afford entertainment for juveniles
and adults of both sexes and there is
every reason to believe that the or
g~anization will be the near of unit
ing all the residents of the district
into one big family.

two-story building has been equipped

WA. MASSEY
IS CALLED
SUDDENLY
pires ON Train While En- Route
to California
HEART FAILURE GIVEN
AS CAUSE OF DEATH
He Was One of the Sturdy figures in
History of Nevada-POlitical
Career

RENO, March 6.-Former United
States Senator w. A. Massey died
while en- route from Reno to Susan
Vile, Cal, on legal business yester-
day. His death is attributed to heart
trouble.
Mr.. Massey served as Senator from
Nevada from July, 1912, to January,
1913, having been appointed by Gov
ernor eddie to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of the late Senator
George Nixon. He served as justice
of the supreme court of Nevada from
1896 to 1902, resigning to enter pri-
vate practice. He was fifty-eight years
old.
William A. Massey was born in the
state of Ohio in 1856, where he
studied law and was admitted to the
bar. Leaving his native state in
1884, he emigrated to southern Cal
ifornia, but remained there only one
year, when he came to Nevada. Set
Ting in TuscarOra in 1885, he en-
gagged in mining, which he followed
for several years with Indifferent suc-
cess.
About the year 1890 Senator Mas
sey moved to Elko, where he engaged
in the practice of law. The same year
his wife passed away. In 1892 he
Sheehan, sister of j. Sheehan of the
National Bank of Winnemucca.
In the fall of 1892 Senator Massey
was elected to the legislature from
Elko county and succeeded in having
passed the law authorizing county
high schools. In 1896 he was elected
a justice of the supreme court of Ne
vada, but resigned in 1902, to form
the law partnership of Cheney, Mas
sey & Smith, at Reno.
On July 1 of the present year w.
A. Massey was appointed United
United Sttaes senator by Governor
Oddie, to succeed the late Senator
George Nixon. the appointment to
hold until the meeting of the next
state Legislature.
From the day he was sworn in at
Washington Senator Massey took a
leading part in the deliberations of
the senate, where his ability was at
once recognized, and he was appoint
ed to several important committees,
an unusual compliment to a new
senator. He made several speeches
in the senate, the one on British in
reference in the Panama canal at
tracing worldwide attention.
Had Mr.. Massey lived it is believed
he would have been a formidable can
didate before the primaries this fall
for the republican nomination for
United States senator.

SCALES IN LOCAL
STORES CORRECT
SUCH Is REPORT OF DEPUTY
STATE PURE FOOD
INSPECTOR

Miles B. Kennedy of Reno, deputy
state food and drug inspector, ar
rived in Goldfeld yesterday on one
of his periodical official visits. He
spent yesterday afternoon and today
in checking up scales of the local
merchants and examining various
foodstuffs handled by them. He will
leave camp tomorrow morning.
Inspector Kennedy stated that he
had found all the store scales in camp
to be correct and all Nevada n
California butter sold locally up to
the standard in weight and butter fat
content. Upon his previous visit to
Goldfeld several months ago, Inspect
or Kennedy discovered that CalifOr'
MIA Golden State Creamery butter,
sold by the Nesbitt Brothers, was
short in weight. He further stated
that the firm is no longer handling
that particular brand of butter but
in it's stead is selling Nevada butter,
which is six per cent overweight.
Inspector Kennedy spoke of the
work being carried on by the pure
food department of the University OF
Nevada and stated that President
Stubbs recently gave his approval to
the suggestion of S. C. Dinsmore,
chief state food and drug inspector,
that local pure tooo and drug ana
sanitary inspectors DE appointed at
Toncpah, Goldfeld, Las Vegas, Ely,
Elko and Winnemucca. In accord
ance with the action of President
Stubbs, the board of regents OF the
university will in the near future ap-
point deputy inspectors at the points
named.
AS a result of the pure food cam
paign being waged throughout n
state, a complaint was recently filed
in the justice court in Reno against
John Chism, a creamery proprietor
of that town, charging him with wa
tering milk. He will be given a hear
ing Monday.

NEW RESPONSIBILITY
FOR FRANK MANSON
HE WILL BE MANAGER OF UTAH
ORE SAMPLING
WORKS

Frank NJ. Manson, manager OF the
Western Ore Purchasing company OF
this city, has widened mis- zone of
activity, says the Reno Gazette. He
returned yesterday from Salt Lake
City after a 10 days absence, dur
ing which he was prOffered and &C
copied the management of the Utah
Ore Sampling works.
This concern, which has been es-
tablished and in successful operation
for many years, owns ore samplers at
Murray, Park City, Silver City and
Sandy. 1t is different in operation
from the Western Ore Purchasing
company, for the latter is a pur-
chaser of mine products.
The former concern merely sam
pies ore for the owners in order to
have a check upon the smelters or
other purchasing establishments and
sur the shipper against loss.
The new duties of Mr.. Manson Will
require his absence from the state
about half the time, but he will re-
tain his family residence in this city
and continue to be the head OF the
Western Ore Purchasing company.
While in Utah this trip Mr.. Man
son was in close touch with mining
men and capitalists. He says thai
great interest in Nevada districts is
expressed there at present and he
expects a considerable influx of Utah
capital this season in the Nevada
mining fields.

Explorations In Northern Alaska

The pioneers search for valuable
minerals in Alaska has been closely
followed by Investigations of the
United States Geological Survey. EX-
topographic engineers have visited
parts of northwestern Alaska where
mining has been in progress or where
there was probability of mining in
the future, and reports have been
published setting forth the geologic
and topographic results obtained.
In 1901 f. c. Schrader and w. j.
Peters carried the first instrumental
survey across northern Alaska from
the Yukon basin to the Arctic ocean
at the mouth of Colville river, while
w. C. Mendenhall and ID. l.. Rea-
burn made a similar survey to Kot-
Zebuk. This work was far more i'm
portant than any previously done,
because it included both accurate
topographic surveys and systematic
geologic observations. In fact, the
reports based on these explorations
furnished the first clue to the geo.
graphy and geology of the part of
Alaska north of the Yukon BASIN
For eight years after these eX-
plOratiOns the Geological Survey was
too busily engaged in surveying re-
gions of greater mineral promise to
continue work in northern Alaska,
but it resumed that work in 1910
and continued it in 1911. The sur
veys of 1911 included al eXplora-
ton of the Noatak valley, much of
which was previously almost IN
knoyn. The results of these surveys
are set forth in Bulletin 536, THE
Noatak-Kobuk Region, Alaska" by
Philip S. Smith, which is now just
issued by the Survey.
This report contains the first ac-
count of the geology and
of Noatuk river, which is among the
largest streams of Alaska. The
rocks of the region have been sub
nations, and these have been at least
Professionally correlated with the car
%tographis units used in mapping I'D
jace.t areas. This st~ratigraphic sub
division is remarkably detailed, con-
sidering the very hurried character
of the field investigation. Data were
also obtained bearing on the occur
of placer gold and other min
eral deposits.
The brief outline of the scientific
exploration of northern Alaska shows
that, although much has been &C
complished. much remains to be
done. Plans formulated for further
work in this field are already being
executed in part. In 1911 and 1912
A. G. Maddren carried geologic sur
veys from Porcupine river northward
20 the Arctic ocean. in cooperation
with the International Boundary
Survey. 1t has also been planned to
make a survey from the head line

LONG LIFE PREDICTED
FOR SILVER CAMP

G. G. Hamilton, of the Pollard
Hamilton mill at Silver City, was IA
Carson visitor yesterday. Mr.. Ham
ton is sanguine that Silver City
mills and cyanide plants will exceed
the production of bullion made III
1913. AT present the plants are run
ming at full capacity with sufficient
tonnage of commercial ore mined
and on the dumps to supply the
mills well into the summer months.
Mining conditions continue to i'm
prove as development work pro-
crosses, which bespeaks a long life
for Silver City as a producer of gold
bullion. Mr.. Hamilton left for
Reno last night on a brief business
mission.-Appeal.
