IDLE MEN FLOCK
TO THIS DISTRICT
LOCAL LABOR SUPPLY is FAR
EXCEEDED BY THE
DEMAND

Attracted by reports of recent dis
~coveries at depth in local mines,
miners looking for work have flock
ed to Goldfield in the last few weeks.
and in consequence the labor sup
ply far exceeds the demand, and
many men are in desperate circum-
stances. For the first time in sew
eral years, begging by robust, able
bodied men has lately become a
common occurrence OF the local
streets.
According to a card index kept by
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company of applicants for work,
there are at present 325 idle miners
in camp. In addition to the miners,
a large number of men of other call
ings have rushed to this camp from
all sections of the country recently.
Local employers warn all persons
searching for work against coming
to Goldfield.

The Con. Virginia company during
the past week in the stope above the
south drift from the $500 two-com-
partment raise, continued the extrac-
ton of ore from the 18th and 18th
floors and recovered 155 cars, esti-
mated 40 tons, giving assay values
of $14.91 per ton. Six stope sets Of
timbers were also put in place. Ship
ments included $50 tons of ore to
the Kinkead mill and a railroad car
of concentrates and one bar of bull
lion to Selby's. The value of the bull
lion bar was $1,1S2. The Kinkead
mill also treated SO tons of custom
ore.
The Ophir company continued the
advancing of the repair work Of the
Central tunnel and made 8 feet for
the week through very loose, run
ming ground. Total length now in
good condition, 1914 feet. No work

The Mexican company on the $500

vein at the junction of the north

five or six feet under the floor, ex-
tending for a length OF four sets.
From this work 13 tons sampled

In the south drift from the north

ore sampling $500 per ton, and one
round of holes under the floor at
this point gave six tons sampling
$15.23 per ton.

were shipped to the smelter. At the
surface 900 tons of ore were shipped

USES OF

Tungsten is used principally as
an alloy of high-speed steel, that is,
steel used in making tools used in
metal-turning lathes running at
high peed, to which it imparts the
property of holding temper at high
er temperature than carbon steels
will, according to the United States
geological survey. The now we'll
known ductile tungsten is used for
~incandescent lamps, which are fast
d%isplacing carbon lamps. Recently
greatly improved lamps in which the
wire is wound in helices and in
which the globes are filled with nj
trogen have produced a close APP
proach to white light. hese lamps
are furnished in candle powers up
to 2 900. Ductile tungsten is prac-
ticallv insoluble in all the common
acids: its melting point is higher
han that of any other metal, its
ensile strength exceeds that OF
iron and nickel, it is paramagentic,
it can be drawn to smaller sizes
than any other metal (0.0O02 inch
in diameter), and its specific grav-
ity is 20 per cent higher than that
of lead.

PETER BEYER FOUND
DEAD ON HIS PORCH

Peter Boyer, a well-known charac-
ter about town, having occupied his
time for several years in gathering
and selling kindling wood, was found
dead on the porch of his home at
1903 North Main street at 5 o'clock
Saturday evening by several m
ployes of the Consolidated mill who
were coming off shift. 1t is said that
passersby had noticed the unfortu-
nate man earlier in the afternoon,
but paid no attention to him. Death
is attributed to heart failure.
Pending the receipt of word from
his brother and daughter, who live
in Newark, N. j., no funeral arrange
ments will be made. He was about
sixty a of age.

TWO MILLS IN SIGHT
FOR OLD PIOCHE CAMP

Some time ago General Manager
Palmer of the Amalgamated Phoebe
raj credited with the statement that
it would not be long before he
would have a $4,000 mill on the
Phoebe property turning out a high
grade concentrate from the immense
ore reserves from the 1000 level to
near the surface of the old property.
A report from Phoebe yesterday is
that Morris P. Kirk and J. H. Lea
will of the construction engineer
ing firm of Kirk & Leavill of Salt
Lake are both on the ground look
ing into the matter of erection of
the proposed plant for the Amalga-
mated. AS the Prince Consolidated
is also laying plans for a mill it
means two plants for the camp in the
near future.
The word that the mill proposition
is Undertaking. will be good news to
stockholders of not only the Nevada
Utah, but the Ohio-Kentucky as
Well.
The Amalgamated is the holding
company for extensive property in
terests in southern Nevada owned
about one-third by Ohio-Kentucky
people, and two-thirds by the Neva-
da-Utah. Ensuing profits will be
participated in by the stockholders
in both these companies.
The holding company has for a
year or more been piling up a lot of
rich milling ore. and these stock
piles and the blocked out ore in the
mine are said to easily justify the
cost of a mill.-Herald- Republican.

JONOPAH CLUB
IS ANN|H|LATEO
SENSATIONAL PLAYING OF RUSE
LARGE FACTOR IN ITS
DEFEAT

TOO much Ruse' is the term to
use in explaining the crushing de-
feat of the 1onopah high school
quintet by the Goldfield Unity club
five in the first game of basketball
played last night at the school gym
nasium. Time and again this versa
tile player thrilled the large audi
enec with his remarkable shots from
every angle and position on the
floor, continually finding the netting
throw, even when it seemed that he
was ~effectually covered by his oppOn-
ents. He was easily the high scorer
of the evening, registering thirty
two of the fifty-nine points scored by
the local team. Cuddy and Butler
tied for the honOrs on their side,
each finding the basket for seven
points of the nineteen secured. The
final score was so to 10.
AS was predicted, the chances for
a silver camp victory rested with
Tamblyn's ability to hold the rangy
Ruse to a low score, a thing, a spec
tatOr remarked after the game,
which could be likened to the proven
bal chances of a SNOWFALL in Hades.
From whistle to whistle the game,
while approaching roughness at
times, was replete with sensational
plays, and while they were defeated
by an overwhelming score, the To-
nopah boys accepted the result in a
sportsmanlike manner frankly as
senting that their defeat was due to
the superior playing of the Goldfield-
ers.
In explaining the mediocre exhibit
ton put up by Tamblyn, of whom
great things were expected, it mus
be remembered that with a man of
kuse's ability playing against him,
the chances of his getting in the
limelight were greatly lessened.
Prof. Foley of the high school
handled the referee,Ag part of the
contest while Prof. Jackson of To
nopah high school officiated as UNI
pire. Both officials were impartial
and handled the contest In admir-
able fashion.
The curtain raising event, a pre-
liminary game staged by the "Occi'
dentals,' a scrub team from the high
school, and an aggregation of town
boys, designating themselves 1.-The
Serpentines," resulted in a victory
for the latter, the final score being
~ to IL.
The next game of the series will
be played in Tonopah January 3, at
which time the Gold1elders Will
hook up with the Mizpah Hill club,
a team composed of old college stars.
The lineup for the main event OF
the evening follows:
Tonopah: O'Connell and Cuddy,
forwards; Butler, center; Tamblyn
and Gilbert, guards.
