YOUNG GEORGE BROCKMAN
KILLED WHILE HUNTING

George Brockman, the 1~2-year-old
son of George c. BrOckman, an en-
gineer on the Las Vegas and Tono-
nah railroad, accidentally shot and
killed himself Saturday afternoon
while out hunting rabbits near his
home in company with a boy COM
panion, according to word received
by a friend of the family residing in
Goldfeld. 1t is understood that the
hoy placed the butt-end of the gun
which was of large calibre and
equipped with a safety device, on
the ground and stopped over it. In
some manner the safety slipped and
the gun exploded, the charge enter
ing his forehead. The boy died an
hour later before medical assistance
could be obtained.
Mr.. BrOckman was plotting the
southbOund train and reached Las
Vegas an hour after the tragedy, on
many occasions Mr.. BrOckman has
brought his son with him OF trips to
Goldfield and last July the lad made
an extended visit here.

WILLOW CREEK REPORTS
ANOTHER RICH STRIKE

Word has come from Willow
creek that on the claims of Godward
on the branch of Willow Creek,
there has been encountered a second
airy channel of even greater riches
than what they have heretofore had,
says the Scout. The first channel was
only from four to eight feet below
the surface, but what has now been
discovered is fully so feet below the
surface and the values are greater.
Another feature of the new find is
that it shows a different, or we
might say, an earlier source of the
gold deposits, as the new channel is
at an acute angle to the direction OF
the upper strata in which the gold
was first found. From all indica-
tons the output of gold from Willow
Creek district will be considerable
the coming summer season.

BATTLE MOUNTAIN
FORMER GOVERNOR DEEPLY
IMPRESSED WITH POSSIBIL-
tiles OF SECTION

The country adjacent to Battle
Mountain is rapidly coming to the
front and is well worthy the atten-
ton of those looking for first class
mining and agricultural opportuni-
ties, says Ex-Governor T. L.. Oddie.
who returned to Reno this morn
ing after spending several DAYS in
that section. He is most enthusiasts
tic over the prospects of the Battle
mountain section and predicts a
great future for the town and the
community.
within a radius of 80 miles of
Battle Mountain are some of the
best mining properties of the state,
and all in the course of systematic
and active development" the former
governor said this morning. VERY
little is being said about this work,
as it is confined strictly to develop
ment lines at this time. The miner
ale being developed in the various
mining properties are much diversi-
fed, including gold in veins and
placer, large and rich deposits of sill
yer ore and what seems to be devel-
pping into one of the largest cop
per properties in the country. In
addition to these ana other metals,
the recently discovered tin deposits
these give promise of developing in
to large and rich tin producers

FIGHTERS ARE TRAINING
FOR COMING CONTEST

Although adverse weather condi-
lions interferred to a large extent,
the attendance of fans yesterday af-
ternoon at the respective training
quarters of the two principals in the
ten round contest, which is to be
pulled off at the Hippodrome the
atre next Monday, was quite large.
At the Kirk camp, Manager Frank
Fields donned the gloves with his
charge and delighted the fans by
mixing it with the sailor. Harrison
went through a good workout at the
Northern gymnasium and impressed
his audience with his good condition.
He figures that Sailor Kirk will have
a much harder time making the
weight than himself and therefore
doesn't worry much about the train
ing grind.

BUCKHORN MINES

Three hundred and fifty tons of
ore are milled daily at the buck
horn mine in Eureka county and the
mineral content is reduced to bull
lion on the spot. The camp employs
On an average of 100 men and the
outlook is good for a long period OF
operations. w. A. McCree, who Wis

while there are permanent mine OPP
e%rations in sight that he does not
believe Buckhorn will develop into

Owing to a delay IL getting the
necessary poles for the power line
Which the Nevada-California Power
company is putting in from their
main transmission line near the
Great Western over to the Tonopah

operations have not commenced as
was expected. 1t is expected that
the transmission line will be COM
pleted early in the week and that
not later than the middle of the
week work will be in full blast.
In the meantime the Bonanza
people have been getting things in

wiring done so that all will be in
readiness to hook up when the power
is ready to turn on. In addition

The shaft on the Midway has
reached a depth of about 1880 feet,
progress having been somewhat

from a small pocket, however and is
expected to cease bothering in the
near future. When the 1900 level
was being run some months ago the
water was a serious proposition but
the pumping at the Victor had
drained it quite thoroughly before
this pocket was encountered.

AUTO ACCIDENT
STILL A MYSTERY

The mystery surrounding the auto
mobile accident Tuesday night when
big Dodge machine jumped over
the snake river bank, turned turtle
and landed thirty feet below the
grade, at a point Just north Of the
cemetery, is still as much Of a
mystery as when the wrecked ma
chine was first discovered early
Wednesday morning. It is known
that the car belongs TO the Pratt
Auto Company of Weiser and that it
was being driven when the accident
happened by Ben Burrows of that
city. Every effort to find out the
names of those who accompanied
him or the extent of the injuries sus-
tanned by any OF the party have fail
ed.
The two mems hats and a cap
which were found near the wreck,
the blood-bespattered cushions, the
tracks of womanis small shoe,
feathers from woman's hat, a half
bottle of wine and other such signs
went to indicate that It had been a
party of men and women out on a
joy ride and that one or more Of the
party had been seriously hurt
At 1920 Wednesday morning a man
called at the home of Attorney
lRiebeling and 'phoned to Weiser 10
man named Hood, requesting him
to bring a car Immediately, as thsre
had been a wreck and the party
wanted to get 10 Weiser. This fellow
who was probably Ben Burrows. the
driver Of the wrecked car, told Mr..
Riebeling about the accident, but
said that nobody had been serious
Iy injured. Mr.. Riebeling looked out
as the man was leaving and saw
three other men standing under the
trees near the house.
Who these men were can not be
learned, as it is evident that they
are not anxious to have their names
made public in connection with the
affair.

THE EARTHQUAKE
SHOOK PAYETTE
CAUSED PERcEPTlBLE SWAYING
OF BUILDINGS, Ratified WIN
DoWS AND DOORS, STOPPED
CLOCKS, FRIGHTENED SOME
PEOPLE AND KNOCKED PouI-
TRY OFF THE BOOSTS.

The earthquake shock which was
felt in this city at 11:59 Saturday
night, lasting about one minute,
which caused the perceptibls sway
ing of buildings, the rafting of doors
and windows and frightened some
people as well as animals and fowls,
seems to have been experienced
throughout the southwestern part OF
the state, with the exception Of a
few localities, as well as in Utah,
Nevada, the Northern part of Cal for
mia and in parts of Oregon and Wash
ington. 1t seems to have been most
severe IN this section at Vale, Ore,
where one building was cracked. At
Boise the principal concern was the
great Arrowrock dam, but after care
full examination the engineers have
given the assurance that the struc-
ture was absolutely unharmed.
At Vale, only 20 miles west of
here, buildings were rocked, windows
broken, one foundation cracked and
several small sheds and outhouses
tumbled down, clocks were stopped
and people rushed from their dwell
ings and the hotels into the streets.
So violent were the tremons in
Nevada, that, according to reports,
railroad water tanks along the South
ern Pacific were thrown down and
other minor damage was caused. The
disturbances began in the afternoon,
reaching as far north as Victoria, B.
c., the night disturbances being more
general as well as more violent, were
the only ones noticed in this sec
ton.
Professor F. ]. Pack, geolcgist OF
the University of Utah, said Sunday
that in his opinion a slip of the
noted 'Wasatch Fault" extending
about $50 miles north and south
along the Wasatch mountains OF
Utah, caused the most violent of the
three shocks felt at Salt Lake Satur-
day evening, his seismograph record
| indicates that the first shock was
about 1000 miles distant, the second
about 900 miles and the third practi-
cally local. The third shock threw
the stylus of the seismogrsph against
the flange of the drum, putting the
instrument out of service

YOUNG OLIN DUKE
BREAKS PAROLE

The Caldwell correspondent of the
Boise Statesman gives the following
bit of news concerning the recent
movements of Payette lad who
has caused the officers of this city
considerable trouble:
His love for excitement led to the
capture here Friday at the far
grounds of Olin Duke of Payette, a
young lad of about II, who was
wanted by Probate Judge Meek for
having broken parole from the ju-
venile court. Young Duke was sen-
fenced to the state Industrial school
last spring for misdemeanors commit
ted in Payette, but was let off on
parole. Recently he violated the con-
fidence reposed In him, and there
by hangs an episode.
Ten days ago Judge Meek went
to Ontario, where it was understood
the young man was attending the
Malheur county fair. The judge was
fortunate in spottlng the LAD inssoe
Of an hour. He took his prisoner to
the hotel to await the arrival of a
train. The youth appeared quite tract
able, but when allowed to get out
o, sight of his captor for few mo-
ments made good his getaway
Though search was made for him
high and low, Duke could not be
found and the Judge had to return
home empty handed.
Taking no chances with the willy
youth this time, Judge Meek started
for st. Anthony with him Saturday
noon. Whether or not he lands the
lad safely within the state Institution
remains to be learned.

Next we are breathing the pure

Upon entering the mill building We
find it fully equipped with the latest
