BUCKEYE PATENTS
FOR FOUR CLAIMS
PLACED ON FILE
ALL QUESTIONS OF OWNERSHIP
SET AT REST BY THIS
ISSUE.

The Buckeye Belmont company re-
celved the patent to the four claims,
formerly owned by the Belmont Elk
tension Mining company, that went
bankrupt in 1907, and filed the same
for record today. The patent just re-
ceived now gives the Buckeye Bel
mont Mines company the undisputed
control of fifteen mining claims, all
OF which are patented except two
fractions. the total holdings amount
ing to nearly 300 acres.
During all the time it required to
obtain these patents to settle the
question of disputed ownership, the
company has prosecuted aggressive
development work The east drift
on the 12O0-foot level was being
driven along a small stringer which
widened out to about two and half
feet and carried values from four
to six dollars a ton. Three parallel
stringers lying to the south of it,
within thirty feet, have improved in
size and value, and the indications
are that the drift has just cut the
top of big ore body. The manage
ment Immediately widened out the
drift and is preparing to sink
winze upon the ore. 1t is within a
hundred feet of the shaft, and win
be easily reached for mining by drop
ping the shaft down few hundred
feet to get under the ore to begin
stopping. If the ore vein proves to
be what it looks that it will, the mine
can be expected to be a producer
within a reasonable time.

NARROWED WITH
BROKEN AUTO AXLE
RoUGHlNG 1T WITHOUT ANY IN.
TENTlON OF so
DOING.

Henry Schmidt and DR.. Musante,
with their wives, are INDUCING in the
pleasure of retrospective glance at
weeks end which they hope will
not be repeated very soon. They
were caught on the desert Sunday
with a broken axle and night, coming
fast and could not do anything more
than wait for daylight. They made
camp the best way they could with
out equipment. The Schmidt chill
dren were rolled up in blankets and
laid away in the tonneau. The adults
made themselves as comfortable as
they could on the ground. DR.. Mu-
sante had gone back eight or ten
miles-he thinks it was forty, to Sc
cure the aid of team of horses the
party had seen in passing a camp.
The team and owner had gone their
way so the doctor had to retrace his
steps, guided by small camp fire
built by the marooned travellers
Then the party reconciled themselves
to spending the night outdoors and
at daylight Henry SHchmidt under
took the task of finding relief. He
liked out in the direction of Jim
Clinord's on the chance that Jim
would be home. 1t was only six
miles and Henry is a pretty good
walker, but he was glad to find the
miner in his house and his auto in
the garage. Jim has a couple of ma
chimes, but he was satisfied with TAX
ing small one, as he thought the
party would return to his ranch and
make themselves comfortable until
the Schmidt machine could be re-
paired. Jim lost no time In dressing.
but started out as he was found, in
his undershirt and without break
fast. On arriving at the wreck II
was deemed wiser to come directly
to Tonopah, so the men and children
came in and the ladies' were made
as comfortable as circumstances
would permit out on the desert.
The trouble was caused by a brok-
en- axle that had been repaired, and
which Henry Schmidt had ordered
replaced with a new one. When he
started out Saturday morning he
thought his instructions had been
followed or he would not have taken
the trip. The axle was found all
right in his garage and he started
back with 1t and made everything
safe so he was able to return with
the ladies by o'clock that evening
Mrs. Schmidt and Mrs. Musante had
to satisfy themselves with a little
rabbit which they shot and cooked as
the only relief for the hunger OF "a
hours, but even with that incentive
they say they could not have swal-
lowed the meat only for a pinch of
salt they found in a prospector's
cabin at some distance from their
carp.

During the week, on the Austin Da-

TONOPAH PIONEER
DIES IN QUEBEC
VETERAN MINER, PRosPEcToR
AND Transfer DIES SUD-
DENLY AT OLD HOME.

James McCaghren, the we'll known
expressman whose stand for years
was at the Bank building, died last
night at his old home in Chelsea,
Que. of heart disease. He was found
dead In bed. according to a telegram
received by his brother, James Nc.
Caghren, Of Tonopah.
Deceased was 20 years OF age and
was a native of Canada, coming 20
Nevada In 1879 and working around
Carson and Bodie as miner and pros
pector. He came to Tonopah In 1903
and remained here until February IA,
1913, when he left for his old home,
thinking the lower altitude would
benefit him.
Between James McCaghren and his
surviving brother Hugh there was the
deepest attachment, and II was only
due to business conditions that Hugh
did not accompany James to his old
home in Canada, as he always ex-
erted himself to spare the other from
all sorts of hard labor. Deceased
was greatly respected by every bust
ness man OF the community.

DISCRIMINATION
BY TAX BOARD
AGAINST ONE
COMPANY
TELEPHONE COMPANY PROTESTS
AGAINST THE COLLECTION
OF TAX.

The Nevada Telephone-Telegraph
company has begun suit, through its
attorney, H. R. Cooke, against Nye
and Esmeralda counties to restrain
them from collecting an excessive
tax imposed upon them by mistake
of the State Tax commission, as It
is alleged by the telephone company.
The telephone company, it is claim
ed, submitted to a raise in the as
sessed value of about so per cent,
with the understanding that all tele-
phone and telegraph companies in
the state were to be assessed on a
uniform basis and the tax rate was
made by both counties on this basis.
Accounts for same were duly rem
dered by officials of said counties ac-
cordingly, after which the Nevada
Tax commission, sitting in Carson,
raised the assessed values of the
telephone company's property about
100 per rent over the values previ-
ously agreed upon. making a total
raise of about 200 per cent over the
previous year. and twice as much as
their property is actually worth, with
out reducing the tax rate in order
that others as we'll as the telephone
company might be benefited by the
increased valuation.
This would have required the tele-
phone company to pay into Nye and
Esmeralda counties about $500 more
than is right and proper, without re-
ducing so much as one cent the
amount others were to pay, and fur
thermore 1t is claimed by the tele-
phone company that other telephone
and telegraph companies were not
raised accordingly. there being one
case cited wherein the telephone COM
pany is asked to pay about 80 times
as much as their competitor.
This, the telephone company claims,
is unfair discrimination against a
home concern in favor of foreign
capital.

REv|VNG THE OLD
DESERT QUEEN
Of CHURCHILL
AGED PRosPEcToR WALTER
SMITH GIVES OPTION TO
EASTERN CAPITALISTS.

c. w. Kinney spent a few days the
past week in the vicinity of White
Plains on business, and called on
Walter Smith, owner of the Old Des-
ert Queen mine in northern Churchill
county. Walter Smith came to this
county in 1868 and for 80 years has
been engaged in mining and pros
pecting in this county. He is now 70
years of age and still hopes to realize
handsomely on his mining interests
A few months ago he gave an OPP
ton to eastern capitalists on the
Old Desert Queen and they have been
sinking the main shaft deeper. At
$50 feet they report having picked
up the ore again and are more than
pleased with the prospects. 1t is re-
ported that they have several hun
dred tons of ore on the dumps and
most of it shipping ore. They are
in great hopes of picking up the same
ledge that produced so handsomely
in the early days. At that time the
ore run from 5000 to $500 per ton.
1t is asserted that there are thou
sands of tons of ore ON the dumps
of the Old Desert Queen that will run
from So to $12 per ton. 1t is under
stood the option runs for two years
from date of execution, and if the

ROUGH ON THE AUTO
BUT VERY CONVINCING
COUNTY AUTOMOBILE WRECKED
DURING TRIAL TRIP AROUND
cuRRANT CREEK.

Chairman Dick Davis, Of the board
OF county commissioners, says he is
well satisfied with old Dobbin and
cares nothing for a further expert
ence with new-fangled contraptions
in the shape of autos.
Dick was a progressive so far as
ideas of transportation are concerned
until he ventured out with the county
automobile in the direction of the
Currant Creek country. He heard the
roads were badly washed from recent
rains and concluded it was part of
his duty to hasten to the scene of
destruction, as fast as the runabout
would make it. This resolution was
carried into effect forthwith, but the
return trip was not negotiated as
quickly as the outgoing voyage.
Whether the chairman failed to box
the compass or adjust his steering
gear or swashbuekle his magnetic will
never be known, but the machine ar
rived in town a wreck of its former
glory and as radiant as a man after
his wife has gone to the country for
week.
The top was smashed, the sparkling
running gear was daubed with mud,
the tonneau bore evidence of rough
usage and the driver was not in a
reverential mood. However, he found
to his perfect satisfaction that the
roads leading to some of the small
mining camps off the main trail to
Ely were sadly in need of repairs.
