FOR THEM

On Sunday morning the three
Neidert children, Bonnie, Maude and
Doris, will be taken to their father
in Sacramento by d. J.. Fraser who
has volunteered to see that they are
turned over to their parent. It will
be recalled that little Doris Neidert
is a cripple an dseveral months ago,
through the efforts of Fred j. Ami
go, a dance was given for her benz
fit, the object at that time being to
send the child to an institution fO'
proper treatment.
A considerable sum was raised BY
the benefit dance and after neces-
sary bills had been paid Mr.. Amigo
placed the balance in the John S.
Cook bank to be used for the child.
Before arrangements could DE made
to send little Doris away Mr.. Amigo
vas called to Reno on business and
W lille there was taken ill, being COM
PEELED to undergo an operation. In
the meantime it was learned that the
father of the Neidert children, now
living in Sacramento, is willing to
take care of them and they will be
taken to him. The balance of the
dance fund, SAL, is now in the
hads of Mr. Fraser and Mr. Amigo,
who returned to Goldfield a few days
ago, holds a receipt therefor. After
the expenses of getting the children
to Sacramento are deducted the
rest of the money will be turned o7er
to the father for the benefit of the
children.

WORK RESUMED

Work on the Austin-Dakota mine,
south of town, has been resumed aft
er a two weeks shut down for the
purpose of repairing the boilers and
rearranging the ventilation system.
By using the exhaust steam in the air
pipe before it enters the boiler stack
a stiff draught is created that starts
a breeze in all parts of the mine. Six
men are employed in the work now
on hand, which in the main is that
of knocking down the ore from a
stope raising from the lower level.
Manager Charles F. Littrell has plans
for the further immediate develop
men of the ore zone near his easterly
laterals that will prove of much i'm
portance to the property. - Austin

tons. Favorable outlook continues
throughout tunnel level in develop
ment work.
Suth drift in Andes has been re-
opened to the 60-foot point.
Mexican mill crushed 135 tons OF
ore averaging $3.50 per ton.
From north stope, on the 2oOO
level Mexican delivered $50 tons of
ore assaying IS to the mill. Cross

and bullion shipped to the smelter.
In Belcher ground, 1900 level,

work 23 cars of mill ore saved.
On the 1900 level, Crown Point
territory, 67 cars of mill ore saved

Rapid progress and a continual

ROCHESTER MINES
COMPANy'S REPORT

Salt Lake stockholders of the
Rochester Mines company are in re-
ceipt of a statement from President
l.. A. Friedman, from which the
following is taken:
Since the last letter was sent out
the new mill has been in operation
continuously and has been treating
upward of 100 ton of ore per day,
which averaged about SIS a ton.
This, however, does not represent
the value of the ores of the Roches
ter Mines company, as this ore has
been taken from that portion OF the
mine out of which the leasers had
shipped during the years 1913 and
1914 approximately $650,0OO worth
of ore which averaged $24.83 a ton.
The mill is making a splendid eX-
traction and we have by this time
completed all of our constructiC.
work about the mill, including a new
fire proof refinery which al COM
pleted last week. The earnings OF
the mill up to the present time have
been ample to pay for all the devel-
opment work done at the mine, the
installation of e machinery and
the erection of the buildings, and in
addition to that we made a substan-
tial payment on the balance due on
the mill. The deepest workings in
the mine at the present is a Wine
IS feet deep from the present lowest
level on the Big Four lease which Is
for all that depth in ore of a good
grade and the vein averaging about
seven feet wide and the bottom of
hat winZe is almost directly over
cut it at about 700 feet deeper on
the vein. This tunnel is nC| in $50
feet and we expect to cut the first or
west vein in a distance of between
500 and 600 feet further, and the
second or east vein at a distance
between 500 and 900 feet further.
We have installed a 400 cubic foot
air compressor with Sullivan ma
chimes resently. We have let a con-
tract for the driving of this tannel
from it's present face in and through
both veins up to a distance of 1000
feet from the present face, and we
expect the contractors to drive this
tunnel from ten to fifteen feet per
day which should bring is into the
east vein within the next 60 days.
The stock of your company will
be listed on the San Francisco ex-
change within the next ten days and
will be listed on the New York curb
within the next 60 or 90 days.
A Lovelock dispatch received last
night sal a fourth shipment of sill
yer and gold bullion from the Ro-
chester Mines company mill will be
made today. 1t includes As bars
worth $4,000 and is the result of
a fifteen days run. The shipment
brings the total to $4,000 since
the mill started late in April-Her-
ald-Republican.

Good Card Arranged

Jack Dempsey, the elongated mid
dleweight of Goldfield, who on two
occasions, in the opinion of the fans,
secured a shade v Johnny SUDDEN
berg only to have both bouts called
draws, has been matched to meet
the Omaha battler for the third time.
The battle will be fought in Tonopah
Monday night. Slick Merrill and
Harry Kelsey, the latter of Oakland,
will fight a ten-rOund preliminary.
Sudenberg and Dempsey have a host
of followers and a good fight should
result as the question of superiority
is still unsettled.

Invaded Again

For the second time since the
rabid coyote scare, one OF these AMI
mails was found and killed inside the
city limits of Winnemucca. The
animal was seen in the yard OF the
county hospital by Superintendent
Wilkinson and was killed by him be-
fore any harm was done. More than
ever before the citizens of northern
Nevada are being impressed with the
seriousness of the coyote menace
Several dogs, suspected of being in
fected with rabies, have been killed
within the last few days. Outlying
ranches are susceptible to the great
est danger and men have been sta
toned to kill all coyotes, queer
acting dogs and cattle on sight.
