gold ore carrying values we'll above
the average. Mr. Everett will put
up l0-stamp mill on the property.
Mr.. Hill is now being recognized
as man of far-seeing powers in
matters pertaining to mining. He
has also located a claim south of
Acme, the indications on which are
very promising. Owing to climatic
conditions it is impossible to continue

pense, and that an experimental
plant will be installed
The Goldfed district, 30 miles
north of Luning, is attracting con-
siderable .dttention from outside
people and it is probable that East
ern captalits will become interested.
Luning is the natural supply point
for the Goldfield district, and any
increased activity there would great
ly benefit the Luning merchants.
Several parties have been outfitted
by Luning merchants in the last few
weeks and sent out to prospect and
develop numerous Slightly known
claims in that vicinity.
Mr.. j. E Quinlan, representing
Spokane capitalists, will return soon
with sufficient capital to continue
developments on the Shipper Copper
Company's property, according to
plans formulated by Mr.. Quinlin.
This property has been one of the
largest producers in the county dur
ing the last few years, aud the re-
sumption of activities will be long
step forward for the camp.

j. NJ ADAMS TELLS OF MINING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
IN THAT VICINITY

J. N. Adams, T. r. Pledge, E.
Radcliff, w. D. Jones aud DR..
Plymire, business and mining men
OF Luning, were in Hawthorne last

is being done in the mines of that
section, aud that the showings in
some of these are exceptionally good
Messrs. Straw and King, Salt
Lake capitalists who have put in the
last three weeks prospecting and
sampliug the old Hidden Treasure
property, left few days ago for
Salt Lake to report to associates.
They speak very glowingly of the
property, which is a big low grade
proposition, and intimate that they
have sufficient capital back of them
to put up mill of such magnitude
as will enable them to treat the GUS
tom ores of the entire district. The
principal values are in silver and
lead ores, samples from the old work
ings carrying from S18 to $50 per
ton.
j. N. Adams has taken a contract
to run a 200-foot tunnel on the Ne
vada Ore and Copper Company's
ground at Acme. Associated with
Mr.. Adams are Joseph Pope and p.
j. Meyers, two of the most capable
miners in the district, who are en-
gaged in the active WORK. They are
drifting toward what they believe to
be large body of gold ore. This is
by far the largest single contract let
in the district for some time.
Mr. c. B. Jacobs has closed con.
tract with the Esmeralda Mining
Company to continue the sinking of
the present shaft on their property
to depth of 200 feet Mr.. Valentine

Raber Hanged at Sacramento

The rope of the law jerked the life
out OF Sam Raber, in Folsom prison,
near Sacramento yesterday at 10
o'clock, in much the same manner
as he and Jack Drumgoole killed
Cherry de St. Maurice a year and a
half ago lacking one week. The wo-
man of the underworld had about
two minutes to face death; Raber had
nearly two years.
The crime for which Raber and
Drumgoole were convicted was the
murder in furtherance of robbery, of
Cherry de st. Maurice, notorious
Sacramento character. They seized
her and after a few moments of strug
gle she relaxed anr died. The perpet-
rators were traced to San Diego by
means of jewels they had stolen. Cleo
Sterling, "a dissolute girl, was accused
as an accomplice and sharer in the
plan. She was dismissed and subse
quently came to Reno. 1t developed
Raber and Drumgoole had been in
Reno several months before the crime
Drumgoole was sentenced to life. |
Imprisonment as an accessory.
Raber spent several months in
Hawthorne in 1917, being employed
as an entertainer in saloons here.

First Rounded Table Knives.

During the first half of the seven.
teenth century Cardinal Richelieu, the
founder Of the French Academy, be-
came offended by the rude manner in
which pointed knives were used and
thereafter caused his knives to be
rounded Before long the fashion was
generally adopted, and the pointed
blade, which, in lieu of fork, had
been useful In picking up pieces of
meat, was abandoned. Since the sew.
enteenth century the form of table
knife has remained substantially as
We know it.

WONT FOOL THE PEOPLE.

The Massachusetts Democracy has
probably led the way for the party
followers in other States I'm that mart
Of its platform which says: I'VE
heartily commend the efficient service
OF those distinguished Senators aud
Representatives in Congress who have
tirelessly and successfully endeavored
to assist the President in the work of
his administration"
If the Democrats expect that such
wholesale endorsement of a very de-
fective administration in domestic az
fairs will go down with the voters
they are due for a sad awakening.
Looking back on the performances Of
this administration. which is so bla-
family proclaimed. we see nothing but
incompetency in the management OF
the national affairs of the country. the
hating of business and industry. ex-
travagance and waste in the appropri-
atoms of the public money, the deple.
ticn Of the revenues and the increase
OF liabilities. II will not do 10 point
to the preponderant balance OF trade.
while the government is scurrying to
find means Of replenishing an ex-
hsusted Treasury.
What has the Democratic party
done for the country? In time OF pro-
found peace It put upon the country
a large extra tax. In year of boun-
teous harvests business and industry
languished and idle men tramped the
streets. hungry; and il it had not been
for the European war the misery OF
the people would have increased. Il
will be on the domestic affairs of the
country rather than on the accident
OF keeping the country out OF war
that the Democratic party will be tried
on. and the verdict of the jury OF
American citizenship is now well fore
Swallowed against ii.
