STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
REMAINS UNDECIDED
ONLY CLAIMANTS FOR
STATE HONORS

The high-school football situation
in Nevada is in a somewhat muddled
state. and only a post-season game
can in any way clarity the atmos-
phere of uncertainty which shrouds
the choice of a real football cham.
pionship team to claim state honors.
This is the first year for several
years past that the entire state is
playing the one brand of football.
Heretofore the northern section has
had opponents of the English game,
while the southern schools have
game. The change in the coast
situation, as a result of the univer-
stiles of California and Stanford
splitting OIL the eligibility rule for
freshmen, las resulted in tie va
vada schools following the lead Of
California.
Reno seeGs to be able to lay claim
to the title of champion of the north
ern schools, while the Goldfield con-
tingent has not been defeated by a
high-school within the state. The
Bishop farmers defeated the local
squad 7 to 0 in a ragged game, but
there was much dissatisfaction ex-
pressed by both teams over the out
come of the contest and Goldfield
seems to have had the better team.
leaving the contest a matter of con-
lecture.
Tonopah has been twice defeated
by the light but quick Goldfield lads
and has also been defeated at To-
nopah by the Bishop farmers. These
defeats put Tonopah entirely out of
the running. The process of elimi-
nation leaves the Goldfeld high
school team as the only contender
from the southern country for the
championship Of the state.
Reno defeated Tonopah by the
overwhelming score of SO to O, but
against another team the Reno hus-
kies might show a reversal in form.
1t would seem that the only means
of arriving at a satisfactory decision
in the matter in the future is for
the teams of the southern schools to
play their regular season games one
week earlier and then for the win
ner to meet the best team in the
northern section of the state in a
final game, to be played on Thanks
giving day at some place to be de-
cided on by the parties most inter
ested.

NINE MANAGER RETIRES

The many friends in this city of
John Landers regretted to note his
decision to retire from the presiden-
cy of the Union mine at the annual
meeting last week, a position he has
filled with fidelity and ability. Mr..
Landers has been identified with the
Comstock lode since early in 1858,
and he retires at this time only be-
cause of the fact that he believes
the active labor and management
should be transferred to younger
men. In relinquishing his executive
responsibilities he does so with best
wishes to his lifelong friends in Vir
ginia City and Nevada and for the
future success of the lOde.-Chroni-

BRIDGE PLAYERS
HELP BELG|ANS
PARLORS BRINGS AID
FOR REFUGEES

Last night was Belgium night at
the parlors of the Unity club and
there were more than SO from
among Goldfield's best bridge play
ers, who participated in the bridge
tournament, not merely for the en-
joyment of the game itself but for
the accompanying privilege of con-
tributing to the relief of Belgian
refugees now being housed and cared
Ior at St. Ives, England.
The tournament was held at the
instance of Mrs. Charles s. Sprague,
whose action vas prompted by re-
ceipt of a letter from Mrs. Lowell
Dyar, a relative at St. Ives, telling
of the dire needs of those who have
left their war-stricken country for
refuge in England.
Mrs. Sprague, who has always
been active in measures of relief for
the needy at home, expressed her
appreciation of the liberal response
to her appeal for the foreigners in
want. She made particular mention
of the case of Mrs. Lavelle, who
through the generosity of the peo-
pie of Goldfield recently, was en-
abled to reach Texas where, Mrs.
Sprague told her hearers, she and
her orphan children are o. COM
fortably situated and Independent OF
further charity. Mrs. Sprague was
not fcrgetful of the special interest
of Walter Norris and Jack NoOne
or the time and assistance they gave
in raising the necessary funds to
bring this about.
While interest in the real object
of last nights meeting was never
wholly obscured, there was a suspi-
con at times that the Belgians were
momentarily forgotten for the inter
est ir the game. At any rate the
game did not lag.
The high o was won by Mrs.
J.. H Hook and Mrs. A. ]. Bogard,
who had to their credit 221S points;
next came Mrs. L. l.. Patrick n
] D. Campbell with 1898, followed
by Mrs. Nellie v. Towley and Mrs.
George Bates with 1888, and the
fourth highest score was won by Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Mills with 1903.
These eight players will play tonight
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sprague for final hOnors in the con-
test.

COMSTOCK MINING MAN
TELLS OF OATMAN CAMP

Superintendent George Drysdale
of the Comstock Phoenix Mining
company returned from a two weeks
trip to the new mining amp of Oat-
man, AriZ., and states that he had
"a most interesting journey. He SAYS
that Oatman is a lively camp at this
time. a large influx of people add
ing constantly to the population.
Sleeping accommodations are en-
tirely inadequate Is yet and hun
dreds are obliged to sleep out ev-
cry night. Building has started,
and promises Don to meet the de-
mand. Some of the mines have made
a wonderful showing to date and
there seems to be no doubt about a
great gold camp being in the process
of development. Mr.. Drysdale made
a thorough inspection of the district
and says that there are a number of
parallel veins running through the
country, the mineralized, zone being
traceable for a distance of Is miles
in length along the surface. While
operations are constantly increasing
big capital has not yet taken hold
to any extent but mining men and
engineers are arriving every day
from all over the country, to make
a close examination of the district.

DEEP LEVELS PRODUCE
GOOD ORE IN THE UNION

A feature of Importance in the
Northend mine reports is the AZ
pearance of good ore in the tip Of
the joint Union and Sierra Nevada
raise. which is now ia feet above
the $500 level. says the Virginia
Chronicle. This raise is near the
boundary line between the two mines
and the great improvement in val
ues noted renders the outlook fa-
fOrab'e for commercial ore in guam
titv on the 24OO level in both prop
critics. The Union saved $40 ore
from stope 3 on the $500 level, ana
Sierra Nevada saved good ore in cut
ting out for sill floor sets in the
vein on the $500 level. No. l I'm
ion raise is also looking well as do
conditions throughout the Northend.
The resumption of ore extraction
from No. 1 stope on the 1900 level
in Belcher ground of the Jacket
company is also an important devel-
opment of the week, profit giving
ore being stopped on this level pre-
vious to the fire last December.

PRIEST PRAISES CLIMATE
OF NEVADA FOR HEALTH

IF l had the time l would love to
go out and tell the people of this
country that every one who posi-
bly, could ought to live at least a
part of the year in some of the west
ern sections where there is a dry
climate was the enthusiastic AS
sertion of Rev. E. ". Reynolds, q
priest who has served for six years
in Las Vegas, New. Father Reynolds
was a guest at the SEVERN hotel,
having stopped off here on his way
to Oklahoma, where he has been
assigned.
Il was SO years old when l went
to Las Vegas six years ago and now
my friends tell me I'M go" Father
Reynolds said, and he added that he
had regained his helath in the six
years that he spent in Nevada. The
dry climate, he asserted, works won
ders for those who are ill and he
declared that too few Americans
fully appreciate the curative value cf
the dry climate.
Father Reynolds was ordained a
priest at Guthrie, Okla, % years
ago, and he was the first white man
to the priesthood at that
place. Other priests were part In
diam and part white, he said. After
spending a short time in Chicago,
Father Reynolds will go to Pauhus-
ka, Okla, where he has been AZ

EARLY PLACER WORK
MADE GOOD PROFITS
MINES IN CALIFORNIA CAMPS
WASHED OUT GOLD IN
QUANTITY

The historically important discos-
cry of gold in California was made
in January, 1S4S, at John Suffers
II ill on the South fork of the Am eri-
Ct.p river near Colomia a point only
10 or Is miles southeast of the town
of Auburn. says an exchange. From
1850 to 1858 the greatest yield was
derived from the gravels and the
largest annual output for this period
was more than $4,000, in 1852.
There was some reaction in 1854,
due to previous wild speculation, but
a production of about $4,000, 900 a
year. chiefly from placer mines, was
maintained up to 1861.
At first the gold was won chiefly
from the gravels along the streams.
Those who first got possession Of
the rich bars on American, Yuba,
Feather and Stanislaus rivers and
some of the smaller streams in the
heart of the gold region made at
times from $1,000 to $4,000 a day. In
1S4S $500 to $3.50 a day was not
unusual luck; but on the other
hand, the income of the great ma
jority of miners was far less than
that of men who seriously devoted
themselves to trade or even common
labor.
The gold pan, the rocker, the
tom" the sluice and the hydraui-
ic giant or monitor, named in the
order of increasing efficiency, were
the tools successfully used by the
miners. Into the rocker and the
tom" the miner shoveled gravel or
dirt, rocking the machine as he
poured in water and catching the
gold often with the aid Of ,quicksil-
yer on rifles set across the bottom
of his box. Sometimes a stream was
diverted into a flume to lay bare the
gravel in it's bed so that the miner
could get at it. In sluicing the
gravel was shoveled into a similar
stream of water was allowed to run.
The hydraulic giant was employed
to wash into long riffleset sluices
immense quantities of gravel, espec-
tally from the higher (Tertiary) de-
posts, much of which was too lean
to work out by hand. Water was
brought for many miles in bitches
and fumes from the high Sierras
and conducted under great head to
a nozzle, from which it was pro-
;oatoI nth uo-oo-Io,. fo,oo "a.
the gravel. 1t was the vast guam
tity of refuse washed into the
streams by these hydraulic opera
lions that brought about the con-
flict between mining and agricult-
ural interests, finally decided in ia
vOr of the farmers. OF late years
the gold obtained from quartz veins
in California has exceeded that won
by placer mining.
