COMSTOCK MINE SUPERINTENDfNTS i
MAKE REPORTS FOR THE PAST WEEK

Progress at the different mines
during the past week has gone on at
the average rate, including extrac-
ton and milling of ore. The general
outlook is bright.
At the Ophir, jointly with the Con.
Virginia Mining company and the
United Comstock Pumping associa-
ton, they have been retimbering a
part of the east drift from the shaft
station. On the 1850 level in the
southwest drift, started in the west
crosscut, they have put in stills and
are cutting out ground for the pur-
pose of putting in sill floor sets of
timbers. They have extracted ITO
ears of ore, estimated at 1853 tons, as
saying $24.97 per ton. On the 2,4O0
level, they have started and advanced
23 feet in the north drift from the
east crosscut at a point 1O4 feet in
from the southwest drift, and have
enlarged and retimbered the old
Ophir-Mexican winze station on the
$500 level. They milled 104 tons
of Ophir ore and 235 tons of Cen
trail Tunnel dump ore.
In the Con. Virginia, the northeast
drift, started in the ore vein at a
point 1873 feet east from the shaft
station, was advanced IL feet, now
totaling 136 feet. They passed
through porphry and quartz. the lat
ter assaying from 81 to $3.50 per
ton. The flow of water continues
strong.
The Mexican mill crushed PTS tons
of Mexican ore averaging 1919; 252
tons of Monte Cristo ore averaging
SAT- per on, and III tons of Saw
age ore, averaging ton value, $11.45,
apparent extraction for first two lots
| SO per cent of the last 95 per cent.
From the Monte Cristo storage piles
252 tons were trammed to the mill
bins.
They have finished placing the bot
tom sets of the Wine station on the
$500 of the Sierra Nevada and have
started blasting out for the sheaves.
At the Savage, the west drift from
Ihc pottoLu vi Inv "ihHO, -
street tunnel, was extended 10 feet
and two sets of timbers put in, the
total length being 35 feet. From
this work II cars, averaging $6.46,
were saved. The face is in fill.
Repairs, at the Yellow Jacket, were
made to the shaft and incline and the
water, jointly with Crown Point and
Belcher, was lowered 10 feet in the
joint incline. At the mill, 1927

LYNCH|NGA AT AURORA FIFTY YEARS AGO

near the center of the town, and at
noon another committee brought the
four men accused Of the murder
from the Jail to the gallows, around
which a great crowd had gathered.
The accused were accompanied by the
Rev. c.. Yeager, who was asked to
give them religious consolation If
they desired it.
James Buckley, formerly of San
Francisco, was the first n Of the
four men who a. allowed to ad-
dress the crowd. He was cool and
showed no evidence of fear. He
stated that he and Daley had killed
Johnson, and that the other men
were innocent. John Daley, consid-
cred to be the leader of the gang,
then stated that he had killed John
son because johnson had caused his
partner to be shot, and he regretted
that he could not live to kill every
relative Johnson had. James Mas
terson next made a claim of innO-
cence in a calm and ~unexcited man
ner, and was followed by John Nc
Dowell, alias Three Fingered
Jack" who raved wildly, calling
upon God to witness that he was an
innocent mar and ended his har-
rangue by drawing a deringer out Of
his pocket and placing it over his
heart and pulling the trigger. 1t
snapped and then, with a Outburst
of oaths, he cast the weapon out into
the crowd.
Daley, when he had ended his talk.
drew from his pockets a handful OF
half-dollars and threw them into the
crowd, remarking that he would not
need money any more. A man nam
ed Hanson was standing in the crowd
with his seven-year old son. One of
the halfdollars fell at the lads feet.
His father babe him pick it up and
then admonished him as follows:
my boy, don't you ever spend that
h%alf-dollar. Keep it as long as you
live, and whenever you are tempted
to do a wrongful thing just take it
out of your pocket, look at it and
then think of the fate of the man
who threw it away"
Daley and Mcdowell appeared to
be drunk when the time came to ad-
just the moose about their necks;
they staggered about on the plat
form and had to be assisted to stand
up when their arms were tied. The
fear of death had completely I'M
nerved them. At 100 p. m. a signal
gun was fired and the four men were
launched into eternity. Every man,
woman and child for miles around,
who desired to see the affair was
present in a great crowd around the
gallows.
The men who were hanged, with
another named Vance, lived together
in a house owned by Daley, and were
known as the Sacramento crowd"
They assisted each other financially
and physically when in trouble and
that they should all die together did
not surprise any of the knowing ones
of that community.-Carson News.

Crown Point ore were received,
which begins Run No. IA. One car
of concentrates was shipped to the
smelter.
The Crown point report states that
2S5 tons of ore were sent to the glory
hole from the surface of the Yellow
Jacket shaft, and 1880 tons of Bel
cher mine ore were received at the
Jacket mine bins. North drift No. 1
On the 1900 level of the mine was
extended and retimbered II feet,
making a total of 231 feet, and 1877
cars averaging 1894 per ton ere
saved from this work.
On the 1,4OO level they are filling
the stope and have made connections
from the raise, on the 9Th floor Of
the stope with the crosscut on the
1900 level.
Necessary repairs are being made
at the Belcher to the crosscut No. 1
used as an airway between the incline
and shaft. Forty-five lars of ore av-
eraging $6.O5 per tor were taken out
of raise No. 2 on the 1900 level. At
the 1000 level, east cnosscut No. 1,
vas reopened and timbered a distance
of eight feet, making a total length
of 40 feet. This report shows that
the work done jointly with Crown
Point and Yellow Jacket nov puts
the water 40 feet below the 1900
level on the incline and that they are
engaged in moving the pump rod
and loose ground below the new tim
Der.
At the Observation-Disclosures
perial, the east crosscut from the
south drift on the 200 level is now
aud porphyry. One set of timbers
fas been set in place.
At the Owe rman. work on the -
200 level has Deon suspended for the
present. At the main shaft, below
the 1900 foot level, they are taking
out an old bulkhead from the shaft
and are reopening the 1~,3OO-foot lev
ell. This level is now drained and in
a few iavs expect to reach a point
where they can thoroughly prospect
this level with a reasonable hope of
finding ore in paying quantities.

chief trade is through Russian Kiach-
ia on the northern boundary, where
exports in 1911 were valued at 3d.
100000, imports from Russia at
$615,OOO and from China, $1,4S5,-
600. The only other trade mentioned
is that of $1,000, 600 material
through Kobdo in the west. This is
the Mongol Empires status in the
scale of the moderns.
This is the first expedition Of
travel and investigation in his par
ticular field of middle and east At
RIGA which Mr.. Rockhill has embarked
on since his expedition into Tibet
when he discovered the great geo.
graphical features of the region east
of Lhassa and the existence of, until
then, unknown Islam colonies.
Mr.. Rockhill started on his pres
IL trip in September, 1913, from
Constantinople. He went eastward
through Central Asia and reached
first the land of the Buriat Mongols.
Mrs. Rockhill accompanied him,
crossing into Outer Mongolia by the
four-wheeled boat-shaped vehicle
known as the tarantass, and by
sleigh.
During the mid-winter journey to
the Mongol Midlands, under the
northeastern caves of the roof of
the world" the temperature ranged
from Is to 40 degrees below ere In
these exhilarating attitudes and I'M
der short-lived but brilliant winter
suns, with long nights of pinching
cold, the couple penetrated to Urga,
the capital of the nascent Mongol
buffer state.
They have since arrived in Picking,
from which city Mr.. Rockhill's first
letter is mailed. He takes occasion
to deny the recent reports that he
would become a travelling represent
alive for the Chinese republic. 1t was
said he would be q sort of nomadie
ambassador for Yuan-Shi-Kai.
Mr.. Rockhill does not say whether
any such proposition was made to
him, but declares that he has &C
cepted no appointment in the Chinese
service. Il shall return to the Unit
ed States not later than the middle
of May next" he says, "and intend 10
make my home there"

RIGHT OF EMINENT DOMAIN

Mining is considered a public use
in various states, as a consequence
of statute enactment. AS a result.
mining companies have the right to
exercise the right of eminent domain
and to condemn and purchase prop
erty for specific purposes as granted.
The matter recently came up in Ne
vada in connection with the desire of
the Goldfield Consolidated company
to condemn land belonging to the
Old Sandstone Annex Gold Mining
company, for storage of failing. In
Utah. the case of Strickley versus
Highland Boy Gold Mining company
was taken up to the United States
supreme court and decided f~avorably

LONDON, April 20.-European
courts face what is practically a
widespread strike on the part of
princesses against matrimony made
to order. Individual protests against
being made a victim of the old sys-
TEN whereby royal children have no
voice in the selection of life partners
are as old as the system itself, but
the stand now taken, particularly by
the princesses is said to appear like
a concert of action. 1t is a blow to
the royal match makers, who blame
the growth of feminism for the fail
ure of their pet system. In this con-
nection it is known that many of the
royal dowagers are inclined to lay
the responsibility for this state of
affairs on the fair shoulders of Prin-
cess Patricia of Connaught, daugh-
ter of the governor-general of Can
ada, who is said, during her resi-
dence in the new world, to have &C
quired certain odious democratic
ideals not at all in harmony with her
station.
The recent birth of a son to the
Duchess of Brunswick, the only
daughter of Emperor William of Ger
many, has served to call attention
again to the small number of prin-
cesses and has given further force
to the excuse of the royal bachelors
tnat they are unable to find suitable
partners of their own rank. This ex-
cuse may or may not be entirely val
i'd, but it is undoubtedly true that
both the young men and women of
the royal circles show a distinct dis
inclination towards matrimony made
to order.
Among the eligible princesses. who
seem in no hurry to accept the part

parents, are the elder daughters of

For nearly fifty years the old town
of Aurora has been practically de-
serted. The ruins of a fOur-stOry
brick hotel that was Quilted by fire
in the early days, but the walls of
which are still intact, have furnished
shelter for %prospectors and other wild
animals for half a century and deer
have been seen browsing in the
ten thousand people, says the Haw-
thorne Bulletin. Now hal the old
town is being ~rejuvenated, and is at

the pioneers passed by as worth
less, it is interesting to look back
into the history of the camp ana
see what n of men they were
who lived in this country in the early
days. The following account of a
'lynching affair." is taken from the
files of a California newspaper dated
February IA, 1864.
A lynching affair unparalleled in the
annals of the Pacific coast, occurred
at Aurora, Nevada. On February %
a respected citizen of Nevada, for
merly of California, named w. K.
Johnson, was found lying dead on
the main street of the town. shot
through the head and his jugular
vein severed by a knife thrust. He
kept a stage station about twenty
miles from Aurora, and had been
spending the night of the first with
a set of easy going fellows playing
cards and billiards in different re-
sorts until after midnight. His body
was found about 5 a. M, and it was
soon known that a foul murder had
been committed. The cOrOner's in
quest lasted five days in it's efforts to
fasten the crime upon the guilty men.
1t developed that four men, mem
bers of the sporting fraternity and
we'll known gun fighters, were con-
cerned in the deed, but were able to
conceal the direct facts. The four,
with another, who was believed to be
an accessory after the fact, were or
dered arrested on February 7th. On
the 8th, four-hundred citizens OF
Aurora and vicinity met in the arm
DRY of the local military company
and organized into a committee OF

procedure to rid the community of its
undesirable element. At z a. m. on
February 9th a cannon on a hilltop
was fired three times and this was a

NEW YORK, April 21.-The ASH
attic Institute of this city today made
public the first of a series OF re
ports from w. w. ROckhill, former
United States minister to China, anC
more recently ambassador to Russia
and later to Turkey, on the
in Mongolia. In behalf OF the ASH
attic Institute Mr.. Rockhill recently
penetrated the regions where the
once powerful Mongol race has beer
irving to maintain it's independence
from the new Republic of China.
The last limits and boundaries OF
this race, which seven centuries age
conquered nearly the whole OF Asia
and part of Europe have begun to
disappear, lays Mr.. Rockhill. in the
crucible formed by Japan and China
on the one side and Russia on the
other. The naive, gullible descend.
ants of the Mongol conquerers are
no match for the canny Chinese trad
err from the south and the imperlally
escorted Russian manufacturer from
the north, who have undermined and
transformed all of this country's re-
lations and conditions.
Seven hundred thousand rather
dull people is the existing remnant
of the Mongol empire he says. The
Buria Mongols, believed to be OF the
same tribe as Genghis Khan. that
great conqueror who left to his sons
in 1927 an empire which stretched
from the China sea to the Dnieper,
are under Russian domain in south-
err Siberia, the birthplace of Gen
ghis Khan, but the land of the a
tar nation that was his, is that In
cluded in the outer Mongolia, which
declared independence from China
during the revolutionary rebellion in
China in 1912. 1t is known as the
land of the Khalkas.
This newly created state defines
the spot where all that remains OF
ancient Tartary is to survive or per-
ish. saws Mr.. Rockhill. Here is all
that is left of perhaps the most won
derful empire of all time, that erect
ed on horseback by Ghenghis Khan.
Outer Mongolia's aspiration to
stand alone is altogether dependent
on the adjoining powers, says MI.
Rockhill.
''They know their helplessness, and
that for the present their fate Is
sealed" In his opinion the Mon
gol nation will founder completely
without the cooperation of Russia
and China. It's only hope of exist
ence is in being a buffer state and
becoming the head of that necklace
of smaller unbalanced vassal nations
bordering the present-day great Ash
attic empires. AS such. if it succeeds.
he says, it will be as a damp course"
between the powder magazines OF
Russia, Japan and China.
Except for the use OF things
brought them by the Chinese, with
out whom they would go unclad and
half starve, the Mongols remain as
originally known to us in the middle
of the thirteenth century," he adds.
Outer Mongolia's assets with which
to begin modern statehood are small.
1t has one gold mine to tax and its
