FEDERAL STATUTES MAY BLOCK

BIG CELEBRATION
IS NOW ASSURED
COMMITTEES ARE SUCCESSFUL
IN SECURING FUNDS FOR
THE FOURTH

The first step in preparation for
Goldfield's celebration of ~Independ-
ence day was taken this afternoon,
when the finance committee, G. G.
Patrick, chairman; NJ. L.. Hewitt,
Floyd Cable, c. H. Ferry, A. H. PETIT,
Walter Norris and Milton Detch,
started the ball rolling by visiting
the various business houses for sub
scriptions for tie observance of the
big day. While nj report has as yet
been made by the committee it may
be inferred by the smiling faces OF
the committeeman that their visits
have been we'll rewarded.
Following the report, which will
probably be submitted tonight by the
finance committee, Chairman Hewitt
will call a meeting of the executive
committee to determine upon the
distribution of the funds for the
various features of the celebration,
drilling contest, prizes for mems
and boys sports, not to forget the
girls, with many other events.
One citizen proposes that a mara
than race be held in place of many
amusements which do not carry
popular favor and are a source of
pleasure to a minority of the people.
The marathon race, it's supporter
contends, will not only be an innova-
ton to the people of Goldfeld, but
will afford amusement to everybody,
spectators as well as participants.
The Gene of the marathon race, it is
proposed. will be at the local ball
park, the contestants running a
stipulated number of laps within the
enclosure.
The drilling contest committee
asks that all persons wishing to take
part in the rock drilling contest be
present at a meeting of the members
of the committee at the Unity club
next Saturday evening at 1880
o'clock.

S.P.LOSES LAND
BY COURT EO|CT
PATENTS OF VALUABLE oil.
LANDS DECLARED TO BE
FRAUDULENT

LOS ANGELES. Calf, June 12.-
Ten sections of oil lands near Nc
Kittrick. Kern county, valued at
$4,000. 900, are declared to have
been fraudulently patented by the
Southern Pacific Railroad company
in a, decision by Judge Bean, of the
United States district court of Ore
gon, just filed here. The lands are
ordered restored to the government.
The lands would supply the navy
with petroleum for 25 years.. accord
ing to the statement of w. N. Mills,
special counsel for the government,
in his argument last January.
Hearings we're held in various
parts of the country during a period
of three years. The government al
legged that the land agent for the
railroad filed affidavits that the
lands had been inspected and found
to be non-mineral, but agricultural,
and subject to claim by the railroad
under the act of congress of 1866.
Thereupon the railroad applied for
?"d was granted patents in 1904.
At the trial of the case, however, c..
w. Eberlin. land agent for the
company. testified that he had new
ed caused the lands to be inspected.
Judge Bean was called to preside
in the case after Judge Welborn
had declared himself Disqualified,
as he owned stock in the company.

1T is the first important deal

clared Salter. "Mr. Sprague and
several others have made a large in
vestment in the Honey Bee Mining
company and the company now has
sufficient money for considerable de-
velopment work. UP to date the
company has merely scratched the
ground and found values all over the
property. Now we expect to sink a
shaft and follow the vein that un-
doubtedly will show higher values a.

Salter could not say how much
of the Honey Bee stock had been
sold to Sprague, or to the others,
but he declare, sufficient stock had
been disposed of during the last
three days to give the company a

all of it would be used for develop

RICH FIND MADE
IN SILVER RANGE
ClRAC BROTHERS DISCOVER
ORE RUNNING OVER $1,000
PER TON

Leon Cirac and his brothers have
reason to ''go up in the air" over the
strike they made the past week in
the Silver range, says the Churchill
county Eagle. Last Sunday there
was a rush to the district where
they had taken out rich ore on the
surface, but it was not until We'd
nesday afternoon that returns CT as
a y came to H. B. Morris from the
samples he had SEN away. Then peo-
pie were elated.
The first sample went 52.44 ounces
is gold and 26.4O ounces in silver,
giving a total of $1,061.74 per ton.
This was taken by Mr.. Morris a
quarter of a mile from the strike on
the same outcropping.
The second sample went So in
gold and 1890 ounces iii silver,
a total of $1SS.15 per ton. 1t was
from the main strike.
The strike is about 80 miles east
of Fallon, or about IS miles beyond
saltwater, and only four or five
miles east of Desert Well. Autos
can drive within three-quarters OF
a mile of the strike and wagons q
be driven to it.
The formation is diorite and por-
phyry, the ledge matter being a mix
ture of quartz and porphyry. Leon
Cirac states that the vein is about
four and a half feet wide, with a
rich streak running through It. The
ledge can be traced on the surface
for some 400 or 500 feet.
Quite a bunch of Fallon men went
to the strike early last Sunday morn
ing. Among them were H. B. Nor
ris, DR.. Gardner, Mr.. Sherman. Joe
Jarvis, Judge Winters, Milton Wal
lace, H. Robinson, G. E. and Ira
Kent and Rudolph Stock.

Lutte Abel, a mining mar from
Arizona. who had just returned
from Wonder, looked at the sam
pies at Morris & Loring's store and
expressed the opinion that the hest
of the rock would run around $1,000

The heavy naturalization of the
Silver range has long been recog-
nized and mining men have often eX-
pressed the opinion that it Is n a
question of time when some lucky
prospector will strike a chimney that
will run down to the mother lode.

mediately begin sinking on the
strike. The ore taken out was right
on the surface and only depth will
determine the Importance OF the
strike.
Mr.. Cirac states that there is
plenty Of water within a mile and
a half of the strike to run from 10
to 20 stamps, while there is an
abundance of wood within about
four miles. The present strike would
indicate that it may prove a rich
field for leasers.
