Mr.. Burgess stated prior to his de-

months more this year." said Mr..
Burgess, Notwithstanding the fact
that We are being hampered by the
increasing flow of water that APP

to take care of the water by cutting
a new channel to carry away the sur

NEvAOA'S DISPLAY
SMALL BUT CHOICE
MINING MEMS COOPERATION
Is URGENTLY ASKED
BY PROF. BOYLE

MANY of the states exhibiting at
the Panama-Pacific exposition have
made much larger appropriations
for their exhibit than that Of Ne
vada.'' said Prof. j. c. Jones of the
university to the Reno Gazette, " but
by showing the best we have in Ne
vada we will be able to compete with
them. Owing to the limited time and
space available. it has been decided
by the commission that the mineral
exhibit will be confined to the use
full minerals and rocks of Nevada.
LAS the beauty and general appear
ance of the exhibit will depend on
the individual specimens, it also is
decided that they should be of rather
large size and striking appearance.
1t is deemed best by the commission
to orange the collection according
to the chief metals and use made of
the ores rather than by the localities.
Each specimen will be labeled, giving
the locality both as to camp and
county and the owner of the proper
ty, together with such general infor-
nation as will be of interest to the
visitor. Thus abundant opportuni-
ties will be given to attract the inter
est of the people to the many oppor-
tunities of the state.
The collection will contain the
ores of gold, silver, copper. lead,
anthony, mercury, tungsten. molly
hAannnn and nthar metals tnoathar
with gems. ornamental and building
stones. kaolin. abrasive, diatomac-
Gus earth found in the state. These
will be displayed in cases arranged
on the outer border of the booth and
will form a fitting frame to the min
ing exhibits. AS the time and funds
are limited for the collection of the
mineral exhibit, it will be impossible
to have the state covered by collec-
tors. If all the citizens of the state
interested in the development of its
mineral will cooperate, it
will be possible adequately to dis
play our wealth.
Prof. Jones, who is in charge of
the mineral exhibit, wants to get in
touch with all who are willing to
help by sending in specimens OF the
various minerals or ores, or by giving
information that may lead to the Sc
curing of such specimens.
IF the cooperation of the mining
fraternity of the state may thus be
secured" said the professor, " il will
be possible to make an exhibit that
will effectively call the attention of
the outside world to our abundant re-
sources and make an exhibit that
everyone in Nevada may we'll be
proud Of"

DAY-BRISTOL PROPERTIES
TO BE SOLD BY RECEIVER

The case of the Merchants Bank
of Salt Lake VS.. Day-BrlStol CONSOLE
dated Mining company came up for
consideration before Judge Tabef
last Wednesday. This was the time
set by the court on a previous hear
ing of an application for an order for
a receivers sale of the property, and
there were a full array of attorneys
present for all parties concerned.
After hearing the arguments OF
the legal talent Judge Taber granted
the prayer of the applicant and au-
thorized the receiver, H. E. Freuden-
thai, to sell the properties of the cor
p~oration between Dec. 20 and Jan.
20 next.
The Day-Bristol company has obi
cations a~ggregating about $90,O0O,V
and it appears that the sale of the
assets of the corporation is the only
means left to clear up the indebted
ness.
The attorneys present at tthe hear
ing Thursday were. w. E. Orr, the
receiver: Chas. Lee HOrsey, the Con-
Nevada-Utah corporation; F. R. Nc

INSURANCE Man
ENDS HIS LIFE
FORMER GOLDFIELDER COM
MITS SUICIDE BY SHOOT
ING IN TONOPAH

Presumably while temporarily de-
ranged, ]. d. Parsons, an insurance
solicitor, formerly of Goldfeld, com
mitted suicide Thursday al Tonopah
by shooting himself through the
head with a .3S caliber revolver in
his room in the Nyco building. His
dead body, fully dressed, was found
on the bed in his room about Z
o'clock last evening by Charles
Starr, a close friend. 1t was thought
that he had been dead several hours.
He left no note explaining his rash
deed.
Parsons, who was born in Romney,
West Virginia, on November IL,
1877, came to Goldfield from Colo
RADIO in 1907 and engaged in the in
and real estate business.
During the local townsite contro-
versy he was employed by the gov
eminent. He left this camp about
two years ago and located in Tono-
bah. Upon a recent visit to Gold
field, Parsons was apparently in
good health, but complained to sew
eral friends that his mentality
seemed to be failing him. 1t is be-
lieved that worry over his condition
prompted him to end his existence.
He was a member of the Elks, Ma
sons, Eagles, Moose, Woodmen and
other fraternal organizations and is
said to have carried $4,000 insur-
ance on his life. His remains will
be shipped tomorrow morning to
Gunnison, Colo, where his widowed
mother resides.

SEVEN TR0UGHS MINE
WILL RAISE OUTPUT
MILL PRODUCES S6 POUNDS OF
AMALGAM IN -FOUR AND
HALF DAYS

For the first eight days of this
month the Seven Troughs Coalition
Mines company produced 10 tons of
gold ore, $50 tons of which were
put through the mill, according to
Manager l.. A. Friedman, who ex-
poets the October production to
show a material increase over the
output for the month of September.
During four and one-half days there
was produced eighty-sIx pounds OF
amalgam, which leads the Septem-
Der output for the same period by
$4,000.
Development operations are being
carried on with good results, in the
south end of the stope, above the
1900 level, the footwall carrying ore
is four feet wide and the ore-bear-
ing portion of the hanging wall is a
foot wide. The vein in the north
stope is large and extremely rich,
while the winze on the north drift
of the 1900 level shows eight inches
of ore that carries $424 to the ton
One of the most promising por-
tions of the mine now being opened
up is in the south winze of the
1900, where the first foot of ore on
the footwall exposed shows that it
carries an average of $233.60 to the
ton. The showing at this depth is
the best that has been found in the
property to date, and all indications
point toward permanent ore deposits
at a greater depth. For the purpose
of determining this the management
is now engaged in pushing out drifts
to the north and south of the 1900
level. These drifts are In some
naturalization, but the richer ore
zones are out some distance from
the station.
In the event the management sue
ceeds in getting it's permanent de-
posts at depth, the main working
shaft will be put down to as great
a depth as the ore makes. Better
ventilation will be secured in this
manner. and the ore will not have to
be handled twice or three times in
getting it to the surface, as has
been the experience of late. This is
the deepest workings in Humboldt
county, and one of the three deep
est workings among the active list
of Nevada mines.
Mr.. Friedman contends that dur
ing his eight years experience in the
camp he has always held to the
theory that the permanent results
will be obtained at depth. The winze
below the 1900 on the south drift is
down twenty feet, and each DOT of
additional depth shows improve
ment. A foot of the ore in the bot
tom of this working on the footwall
side shows average values of $4,000
a ton. The mine is producing as
much as fifty-three mine cars a day
at this time, and with no unforeseen
mishaps this should be the record
month of the property.-Salt Lake
Tribune.

WEST END DEMANDS
BIG SUM OF MONEY

An order wGs issued last night by
Judge Averill in the district court on
complain. OF the West End Consoli-
dated VI ming Company restraining
the jim Butler Tonopah Mining COM
pany fir I'M continuing to extract ore
from tie Fraction ledge. The COM
plant vas filed by Horatio Alling
of counsel for the West End, who
came up from Oakland a week ago
for this purpose, but who was kept
busy with the attachment issued by
the Butler and had to defer filing the
new suit until the last moment of his
stay in Tonopah. Attorney Alling
left for Bakersfield this morning. To
gain a hearing in the district court
Mr.. Alling had to arrange with
Judge Averill to come over from
Goldfield, where he e hearing a
divorce suit for Judge Somers.
Court convened at 7:3O o'clock.
but the Butler company declined to
enter any counsel as representing it
at the hearing, Mr.. Evans declining
to be named as appearing. The writ
is made returnable November 26th at
10 O'Clock.
The complaint demands $780, 600
damages for trespass, alleging de-
PENDANT company has extracted and
converted to it's own use ore valued
at $40, 900. The complaint asks for
an injunction pendente lite and for
general suitable relief. The suit is
the outcome of the litigation begun
by the Butler company alleging the
West End had taken ore from the
Eureka and Curtis claims of their
property through following the West
End-McNamara ledge beyond their
side lines. The district court issued
an order in that case authorizing
certain work by. experts, biologists
and engineers for the purpose of
establishing the facts connected with
the trend of the disputed ore bodies.
In doing this work the West End en-
igneers found that they had what
they claim to be a clearly defined
apex within the boundaries of the
West End claim, which had never
been dreamed of by that company.
1t was for the purpose of filing
this suit that Attorney Horatia ALL
ing came to Tonopah October Sth, to
find himself confronted with the at
tachment proceedings for $1,2OO.00O.

NEVADA HONEY CROP
HAS BEEN GATHERED

Nevada bee keepers have just
completed gathering the 1914 hon
ey crop. According to the bureau
of crop estimates of the United
States department of agriculture.
the yield per colony of bees was so
pounds. In 1913 the production per
hive was 10 pounds. The decrease
is said to be due to the shortage of
the wild flower crop this season.
The latest census figures of the
bee and honey industry o fthis state
relate to 1910. That year there
We're 176 farms in Nevada that kept
bees and the total number of col,
