GOLDFIELD AND TONOPAH
POSTAL OFFICES CLOSED

The offices of the Postal Tele-
graph Cable company in Goldfield
and Tonopah, which have been
maintained in connection with those
of the Nevada Telephone-Telegraph
company's system, have been closed.
Manager Warehouse of the latter
company, in explaining the closing
of the Postal offices, says:
The Nevada Telephone-Tele-
graph company has discontinued re-
lations with the Postal Telegraph

ard of efficiency observed in the
past. owing to a decrease in business.

BIG FOUR STRIKES
MAIN EAST LEDGE

Very astonishing news has been
received the past week from the Big
Four Leasing company on the Ro-
chester Mines company property. In
prosecuting to the east from the
main workings, the company has
uncovered the main east ledge ten
feet two inches, that makes the most
wonderful showing of anything thus
far discovered in the mine.
Six feet Of ore samples better than
$50 a ton, which will give the leas-
ing company an enormous tonnage
for shipment to the smelters. The
balance of the vein shows a milling
value of probably $1S. which, to-
gether with the high class ore, will
produce handsome results to the
owners.
The opening of this immense body
of ore gives to the district a de-
gree of stability that is confirming
other statements coming in regard
ing the future of Rochester. State
ments from reliable mining engi-
neers, statements from practical
mining men who have gone into the
permanency of ledge formations.

most promising ever opened in Ne

AMERICAN RADIUM
MARKET is CLOSED

The European war has, for the
present at least, totally closed the
European market to American
radium ores. AS is well known, the
uranium ores of Colorado and Utah
are sold exclusively for their radium
content, so little use being known
for the uranium hat the ores can
not be sold for their content of that
element. The condition of the Eu-
ropean market leaves the miners
without a buyer; so that while the
war lasts. and probably for some
time a~fterward, the market will be
restricted and without the benefit OF
competition.
AS has been pointed out by Sec
rotary of the Interior Lane, had the
bills introduced in congress been
passed, the United States govern
ment would probably have been in
the market as a buyer, and the
miner might now have a chance to
sell his ore.

jim BUTLER ATTACHES WEST END CON-:
OPERATIONS IN MINES OF THE SILVER CAMP

the week is the cutting of the west
ern extension of the South vein on
the 615-foot level of the Montana.
Although the vein is considerably
broken where it was cut it carries
good values.
Preparations are also being made
for stopping on the Macdonald vein,
in the Midway ground, at this level.
Ore is now being produced from
slopes on both the Macdonald and
the Martha veins on the 365-foot
level of the Midway and the values
are fairly good. Ore is also coming
from the Macdonald vein on the 465-
foot level of the Midway and from
the 565-foot level of the Montana.
In the past week the mill treated
1894 tons of ore.
North Star
The most important development
during the week at the North Star
mine was the cutting of the Footwall
vein in the south crosscut from the
1O73-foot intermediate level. 1t is
now being drifted upon, and the
values are low grade at present.
The raise to the Footwall vein
from the 12O0-foot south crosscut is
making good progress.
Good progress is also being made
in the raise on the Footwall vein
from the 113O-foot level and the ore
is maintaining it's width and values.

GOLD STRIKE IN
LINCOLN COUNTY
SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY MADE
TWENTY-FIVE MILES EAST
OF LAS VEGAS

A stampede of prospectors and
fortune hunters is in progress to a
rich gold discovery recently made in
the southeastern part of Lincoln
county, twenty-five miles east of the
town of Las Vegas and one mile west
of the Colorado river. News of the
strike was brought to Goldfield by
G. +. Redman, traffic manager of
the Las Vegas & Tonopah railroad,
who recently visited Las Vegas and
who this morning received addition
al information as to the find by tele-
graph from officials of the railroad
in the junction town. According to
reports, every available automobile
and conveyance of every description
in Las Vegas has been pressed into
service between the railroad town
and the scene of the excitement for
the transportation of the stamped
ers.
According to Mr.. Redman, the
strike was made by a prOspector
named Andrews. grubstaked by
Frank Clark and Charles Ronnow,
merchants of Las Vegas. on what is
known as the old Quo Vadis prop
erty, which produced considerable
wealth many ear ago. Andrews
relocated the ground, and, in doing
some work on the surface of a pre-
viously unexplored section, opened
up a four-inch streak of picture
rock. Before his return to GOldfield
Mr.. Redman saw at Las Vegas small
pieces of the ore, which he described
as sugar quartz, literally impreg-
mated with exceedingly yellow gold.
He received word this morning that
larger pieces of the picture ore, half
gold. we're brought into Las Vegas
yesterday from the strike and that
other finds have been made in the
vicinity of the e discovery.

RICH ORE COMES FROM
THE HUMBOLDT NINE

Jess Connell of the Cornell Bros.
lease on the Humboldt mine in the
Trinity range came in Tuesday night,
bringing with him some fine speci-
mems of ore taken from a point 100
feet deep, which went from $121.35
to S453.77 per ton.
The vein from which these speci-
mems were taken started in at the
surface with a width Of eight inches
and about $40 values until the last
work developed a vein fully a foot
and a half across of the above val
ues. The vein had been followed by
a drift on the 100 level 60 feet long
before it enlarged to this size.
Mr.. Connell had a chunk with
him weighing about eight pounds,
which he said would go between
800 and $1000.-Lovelock Review

PERSONAL LIBERTY

One of the most plausible argu
ments advanced against state wide
prohibition is that it infringes on
the personal liberty of residents OF
the commonwealth. 1t is urged
that the people have no right to pro-
| hibit anyone from buying and con-
Stunning intoxicating liquor and that
it is contrary to the theory of our
government to try to regulate by law
the personal habits of any person.
This contention is just up to a
certain point. A man should have
the right to do as he pleases until
he interferes with or endangers the
rights and safety of his fellows. This
they are justified in prohibiting by
law, and to that extent curtailing
his personal liberty.
For example, the doctrine of per-
sonal liberty would give to every
man the right to carry any kind OF
weapon he wished in any way he
chose. For a long time no one
thought of denying this right, but
after experience had proved that the
carrying of concealed weapons re-
suited in many deeds of violence
and was detrimental to the peace
and safety of the public, it was pro-
hlbited by law and the inhibition has
been generally accepted as being
Just and wise.
IL 1t has been demonstrated that
the practice of carrying concealed
weapons Is a menace to the public
safety, it has been demonstrated
more conclusively that the drinking
oil intoxicating liquor is much
greater menace. A man loaded with
"hlsKey is far more dangerous than
concealed pistol loaded with pow
uer and ball, for in most cases it is
'ne Whlskey which prompts the un-
lawful use of the pistol. The mo-
nent man loses control of his fac
cultles, that moment he becomes
dangerous, and the public has a per-
'eo' rlght to regulate or prohibit the
'@ie Oh any article which causes peo-
pic 10 lose control of their faculties.
nat tnls right exists has long been
@uni'ted and few have questioned
.n0 wisdom of placing the saloon

Inc advocates of personal liberty
MAINTAIN that each individual should
NC the sole judge of how much

A GOOD START

That the farmers of the Pacific
Northwest propose to adopt the sys-
TEN of handling grain in bulk IS
proved by their actions, and actions
speak louder than words. They have
come to the conclusion that they
must inaugurate the movement and
not wait for the railroads and buy
ers to do it for them, and have start
ed to prepare for the change by
building elevators at the interior
shipping points and grain tanks on
their farms. Last year they made a
good start, as is shown by the follow
ing list of elevators built during
1913. The list was compiled by
