BIG FIND OF TUNGSTEN
ORE NEAR SEARCHLIGHT

A mining man who recently came
into Kingman, Ariz., from the des-
ert section, reports that one of the
greatest discoveries of tungsten pres
ever made has been brought to
light in the country to the north of
Searchiight. P~rospectors found the
ore broken and scattered over the
side Of a. detached foothill, where it
is estimated hat fully $4,000 tons
Of exceptionally rich mineral is
there loose. Samples taken from the
float show values in excess of so
per cent. the tungsten being worn
into small kidneys by attrition. The
owners demanded a cash payment,
Which was made, and the new own
ers are getting things in shape to at
once begin the wo1 k of cleaning and
shipping the ore to market. They
claim that conservatively estimating
the tonnage of the broken ore on
the nillsides there is fully $500, 900
worth. which can be marketed at a
very low cost. From the descriU-
ton Of the find it is one Of the
greatest ever made in the United

INSPECTING PROSPECTS
IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY

Ed Baruch, associated with the
Barney Baruch brokerage firm OF
New York, and c. o. Erixon, a min
ing engineer, are headquartering in
Winnemucca for the time being. The
two gentlemen are making a tour OF
the Humboldt mining section and
keeping their ears to the ground and
their eyes open for good min oppor-
tunities. Today they are at Sun
shine. They visited Willard and
Buffalo Peak last week. They ex-
pressed themselves positively when
seen by the Star. Their statement
is that "Willard has very strong
showings and a very good chance to
make good on a large scale. In area
and magnitude of ledge OF dixie out
crop it is most striking. These bikes
are strongly silicified an dfrom what
we saw and are told they all carry
good values. Taking the ledge out
crops and the known showings it is
fair to predict that Willard has a
shipping and milling future, too, of
great importance. So far the limits
of the district are not defined, but
for mineral area there is no question
as to its extensiveness and with ad-
ditional prospecting there is reason
to believe that new finds will be
made way beyond anything now
known.
1.-The gold bikes and assures are
strong and numerous and afford rea-
sonable speculation that the values
will continue to depth. Geologically,
too, the district shows favorable con-
ditions. AS a whole, our observation
of Willard gives the impression that
it will make good and be a substan-
tial producer with time and develop
ment.
"At Buffalo Peak section we also
found good conditions, fine veins all
carrying values, mainly gold, which,
with development, will expose work
able ore bodies. The veins there
are strong and show continuity and
assure depth. 1t is our impression
that these clean, honest mining
propositions will gain the confidence
and support of the public and that
it will only be a matter of time when
such support will aid in fully prov
ing and developing the profitable
veins in Willard and Buffalo Peak,
and that each will be a rival with
Rochester for productive supremacy
in course of time.
"Other points along the Humboldt
range show their high mining merit
and our opinion is that with the new
ferver toward mining that Hum
boldt county is destined for a great
and prosperous mining development

MURRAY
PLEADS TO ASSAULT
DISTRICT ATTORNEY, IN AID
DRESSING COURT, PAYS COM
PLIMENTS TO JURIES

william Murray, indicted recently
by the grand jury on a charge of as
sault with intent to kill, appeared
before Judge Walsh in the district
court Monday and through his
attorney stated that if the charge
against him was changed to simple
assault he would plead guilty.
In acceding to the request District
Attorney Diskin said: In agreeing
to accept the defendants plea of
guilty to the charge of assault 1
desire to state to the court my rea-
sons. In cases of similar nature,
after the jury has been out a reason
able length of time it returns not
being able to arrive at an agree
ment. To me it is quite evident that
citizens of this community seem to
regard their duties in the capacity
of jurors lightly, and it is impossi-
BILE to secure twelve men in the
county, who, after having a case
submitted to them, even with the
most conclusive evidence, will not
return to the box and report a dis
agreement. For this reason | be-
lieve it advisable to accept the de-
PENDANTS plea to the indictment of
simple assault rather than put the
issue of the case of assault with in
tent to kill before a jury for deter
mination. | deem that such action
would be a useless expenditure of
county funds, as the action of past
juries has shown that it is impossi-
BILE for twelve men in this county to
agree upon a verdict"
Murray, who shot Frank Carr sew
eral months ago following an alter
cation, will be sentenced Wednes-
day at 1870 o'clock. William Reeve.
confessed burglar, will be sentenced
at the same hour.
