LOCATES TWO GROUPS OF
CLAIMS FOR HIMSELF AND
ASSOCIATES

That a new gold camp is about to
be established in Mineral county, As
miles from Tonopah and 20 miles.
from Nina to ~Sodaville, the near
est railroad points, is the opinion
of Lewis Cutler, a Salt Lake opera
tor heavily interested in the Dug
way and Silver Island districts of
Utah, who has just returned from
Nevada. Mr.. Cutler went out to the
Bell district as the solicitation of J.
p. Nelson, a Utah prospector, who
has been mining in these two states
for 80 years. Mr.. Nelson has located
groups of claims for six miles along
the ore zone where the values range
from a few dollars up to $40 a
ton. Mr.. Cutler located two groups
for himself and Utah associates.
The district is much like Goldfield
with the main formations rhyolite
and pOrphyry, the values making in
fissure veins. Rich gold float has been
founud in the district for years, in
fact, a six stamp mill has been
grinding ont values for some time.
On the Royal Gorge group owned
BY Nelson and associates, ore carry
ing up to $140 in gold and i've
ounces silver has been taken out Of
a 4O-foot ledge. Even the dirt about
the place pans good values. Years
ago the district was thoroughly pros
pected, but the then abandoned prop
critics today show the high values.
On one of the Cutler groups some
$34 ore was found.-Salt Lake Her

MADE
BY EX-GOVERNOR
EXPLAINS FAILURETOKEEP EN-
GAGEMENT TO DELIVER COM
MENCEMENT ADDRESS

The Tribune is in receipt of the
following letter from former Gov
ernor Tasker l.. Oddie, which is self
explanatory:
RENO, New, June g., 1915.
The Goldfield Tribune,
Goldfeld, New.
Dear Sirs:
I feel it my duty to write you in
regard to my failure to keep my
engagement to deliver the COM
mencement address on June 4, and
to ask you to try and have me for
given by the people of Goldfield for
my error. BY some unaccountab1e
blunder or my part, I had the date
of June 5 firmly set in my mind as
the date of the commencement and
made all my plans to be in Gold
field on that date.
The several woman's relief corps
had asked me to speak at the flag
exercises in Reno on the evening of
June 4. l accepted on condition that
I could speak early as l told them
I had to catch the train for Cold
field. That was arranged and I ac-
cordingly spoke first.
Before going to that meeting l
started to pack my baggage so every
thing would be ready for me to leave
after the meeting for the tram.
While I was packing up I came across
Professor Weslar's letter and saw to
my a~mazement, that the commence
ment was to be or that night. I
was chagrined and mortified beyond
measure and have not gotten over
it yet. l Immediately sent a wire
to Professor Weslar and followed
it by a full explanation. All I can
do now is TO ask the forgiveness of
the people Of Goldfield for my mis-
take, and to assure them would not
have had this happen for anything.
1 have been planning this trip
FOR sorne time past and anticipating
much pleasure from it.
1t hurts me keenly to know that
I have disappointed the yoong peo-
pie of the graduating class. will
always feel from now on that I owe
each one of them something, and l
hope l may be able to do them a
good turn of some kind some day.
1t is due them from me and / want
them to know it.
I assure you I will be very CRATE
full if you will help me out of my
predicament.
Very truly yours,
TASKER l.. OnDIE.

CELEBRATION TO
INCLUDE FIGHTS
COMMITTEE IN CHARGE WILL Sc
LECT BEST FTSTIC TALENT .
AVAILABLE

At a we'll attended meeting OF local
business men at the Goldfield hotel
last night the GoIdfield Athletic club
was reorganized with a temporary
membership of 20 fans. This num-
Der will undoubtedly be increased
within a few days by a number OF
those who we're unable to be in at
tendance at the meeting last night.
NJ. l.. Hewitt, who is also permanent
chairman of the July 4 celebration
committee, was elected president and
George Sheldon secretary of the or
ganization.
The object of the club is to pro-
vide a fight attraction in connec-
ton with the big celebration on In
dependence day. 1t has not been de-
cided what fighters will be chosen to
furnish the bouts on the card, and no
selections will be made pending the
outcome of the battles scheduled to
occur in Tonopah tonight. Several
members of the club will be at the
ringside in the silver camp, and if
any of the fighters display any real
ability with the gloves they will be
taken into consideration for the holt
day card here.
The initial steps preparatory to the
arrangement by the general executive
committee OF all details and events
for the July 4 celebration will be
taken Monday, when the finance COM
mittee. the members of which are c.
G.. Patrick, chairman; M. l.. Hewitt.
Floyd Cable, C. H. Ferry, A. H. Petit,
Walter Norris and Milton Detch, meet
and call upon the business and min
ing men of the lamp for contribu-
lions. The amount to be raised is
$4,000.
When the movement was in its in
fancy it was believed that this years
celebration would be limited to only
a nominal observance of the day with
but few attractions, mainly for the
children, but such a storm of protest
arose, on the ground that never yet
had the camp taken a back seat by
failure to do the job in characteristic
Goldfeld style, that the movement
has taken the shape of that of other
years, all of which indicates that
Goldfeld is going to have one big in
.teresting celebration.
After the finance committee has
made the rounds of the business men
the executive committee will hold its
first meeting to determine upon the
%jstribution of the money for the varl-
GUS features of the program.
There will be no thrilling aerial sta
bility demonstration this year, those
closely in touch with the arrange.
ments having made that arrangement
without much mental exertion. The
irdmen have too much difficulty with
the conflicting air currents OF the
Nevada deserts and go away leaving
he we'll founded impression with the
populace that they didn't earn their
money. The funds expended on this
sort of displeasing although edifying
performances will be turned into
more profitable channels this year,
according to those prominent in the
undertaking.
