M|zPAH HILL CLUB
DEFEATS GOlOf|ElD
BASKETBALL CONTEST AT TONO-
PAH RESULTS IN SCORE
OF 81 TO IL

The %cOllegians known as the Miz-
pah Hill club, with their limbs creak-
ing in every joint from their long
inactivity and retirement from bas-
ket ball circles, did a comeback"
stunt Saturday night when they
smothered the Goldfield Unity club
team by a score of 81 to IL. The
real struggle, with only one basket
scored by each side. For the re-
mainder of the contest it was a walk
away with Tonopah doing all the
walking.
Much of the defeat can be attrib-
uted to the fact that two of the Unity
clubs star performers, Manager
Ruse and Fitzgerald, were on the
sick list and unable to take part In
the game. Ruse in particular
would have been a tower of strength
through his ability to steady his
men when they we're inclined to take
a ralloon ascension, which is at
tribnted as the reason for the loss
of the game. Truman was sem in
at the second half, relieving Mccall,
and for a time managed to stem the
flood by brilliant individual work.
The game, although one-sided, was
a fast one, in~terspersed with rough
play and deliberate fouling.
John Dynan, the former Lehigh
star and member of the all-star east
ern conference team, and Butler,
formerly of San Diego, starred for
Tonopah. Truman and Johnnie Nor
rison did the best work for the Unity
club. Stotesberry acted as referee.

IMPORTANT OPINION
BY DISTRICT JUDGE

An interesting opinion was hand
ed down yesterday by Judge Averill
in the fifth judicial court. I grew
out of an action brought in the form
of lien collections against the Gold
Nugget Mining company of Manhat-
tan, a foreign corporation. Justice
Haywood, of Manhattan, held that as
this was a foreign company and had
not properly qualified, the answer
of the defendant was stricken cut, as
it could neither institute MOI defend
an action. He entered judgment by
default. 1t was claimed by the Gold
Nugget company that no proper no.
tice was eve given of the date un-
on which the case would again come
before the justice court. A writ of
certiorari was obtained from the
district court. The attorney acting
for Justice Haywood moved the dis
missal of the writ. Judge Averill's
ruling denied this motion and the
case remains in the district conrt to
be reviewed on the writ. G. o. Bur
kert was attorney for the lien
claimants in the justice court, while
in the district court r. H. Cooke rep
resented them. j. X. Chambers act
ed fer the Gold Nugget company

OLD ExCHEQUER IS
AGAIN A PRODUCER

The old Exchange mine at Cherry
Creek, which threw it's wealth so
lavishly into the laps of the trail
blazers of the later seventies in that
Old time silver producing camp, is
destined to witness a second period
in it's development. Regular ship
ments are being made by Churtleff
and Mccoy, and they contemplate
sending out at least one car a week
to the Salt Lake smelters, says the
White Pine News.
The property, which was one of
the bright particular stars in the
early days of Cherry Creek, is now
shaping itself to add to the worlds
goods of those who have attempted
to bring about it's regeneration. Thir-
ty men are employed by the opera
tors from the Utah capital. and they
fully realize that no matter how
valuable a piece of mining ground
may be, it's real value cannot be
known until it is developed and ores
shipped tOthe market.
The career of the EXchequer has
not always been in a path of roses.
1t suffered as a result of the serious
depression following the decline in
the price of silver. and since that
time there has been but little agrees
sive exploitation work. The prop
erty was controlled for many years
by the late John Wearne of Cherry
Creek, and later fell into the hands
of Angus b. Mcdonald of East Ely,
who disposed of the mine to Salt
Lake operators at the inception of
the boom in Ely eight years ago.

PLATT HAS OVERCOME
LEAD OF NEWLANDS

From yesterdays Reno Gazette:

cast at Verdi had been %recOunted.

have made gains every place in
Washoe county so far as the recount
has progressed. figuring on ballots
that bear distinguishing marks or
are otherwise so invalidated as to
prevent their being counted insofar
as a candidate for United States
senator is concerned"
Plat would make no statement
as to what his future action will be
and was noncommittal when it came
to a matter of figures as applied to
the votes recounted in the present
contest, but figures kept by other
parties indicate a gain for him OF
II votes.

Says GOLD CIRCLE IS
PROSPEROUS DISTRICT

Hen. Mike Paisley, prominently
identified with the Gold Circle min
ing district, is in Winnemucca. Pals
ley has valuable mining property in
that district and knows the mine OBJ
portunities as no other man knows
them.
He has optimism because his
knowledge of the district confirms
the mining value and opportunities
of the Gold Circle district. He had
this to say:
Gold Circle is a proven district.
1t has more showing for legitimate
mine development than any district
/ ever was an actor in and ali my
life ! have been a gamester in min
ing camps throughout the vest.
1.-The district at present is making
a fine production, but with the two
mills going up in the spring on the
Eastern Star and the Eiko Prince,
there will be a production compar-
able to the more advanced producing
districts of Nevada, but where cheap
power will come to the aid OF the
mine owners leasers and prospectors
there will be an added energy IN the
production of gold and silver out Of
the lower grade ores which, in my
opinion, will class the Gold Circle
district as a leader in the production
of precious metals in the west.
THE Rex mill is pushed to its full
capacity o and unable to handle
all of the leasers' res that are
brought to it for treatment.
Throughout the district new de-
velopments are supporting the claim
owners who stick, for they are getting
the values and ore shOwings which
in time will richly compensate them
for their faith and fidelity to the
district. The most notable recent de-
velopment of a sensational character
in the district is the remarkable
proof of a rich large body of ore
on the Hardscrabbles.
'It sure looks good for mining in
Gold Circle, which is an indication
of a future in which all of us old
timers will benefit .-Silyer State,

five HUNDRED MILLION TONS Of
COAL MINED IN U.S.. IN 1914

Notwithstanding the slough and
despond through which the coal min
ing industry of the United States was
compelled to work it's way during
the last nine months of 1914, a de-
cidedly hopeful tone prevailed at
the end of the year, and the opinion
generally expressed to Edward W.
Parker, statistician of the United
States geological survey, was hat
the receding tide had reached its
full ebb, and optimism was apparent
regarding the coming year. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Parker's estimate,
which is based upon numerou es-
Inmates received from leading coal
mine operators and others familiar
with the industry, the total coal pro-
duction of the United States in 1914
was about $40, 700, 600 short tons, a
decrease of about $4,000, 600 tons
compared with the record output of
1913. Practically all of this de-
crease was in the output of the BIZ
luminous mines. The production
of PENNSYLVANIA anthracite in 1914
was not materially different from
that of the preceding year, which
was S1,71S,6S0 long tons. In 1914,
however, about 10000 tons (prin-
cipally nut and steam sizes) went
into storage, so that the quantity
sent to market was about 100000
tons less than in 1918.
The principal decreases in the pro-
duction of bituminous coal were in
the coking districts. 1t is estimated
that in Pennsylvania alone the pro-
duction of bituminous coal decreas-
ed between 10000, 600 and 25,00C,-
geo tons and that the larger part Of
this decrease was in Fayette and
Westmoreland counties, which con-
stitute the Connellsville and Lower
CCnnellsville coaking districts. The
weekly reports of coke production
published in the Connellsville Cour-
Ter indicate that the output of coke
in the two. Connellsville districts was
less than that of 1913 by about g.
OOO, 600 tons, or 80 per cent, and as
each ton of coke represents about
IL tons of coal, a decrease of nearly
0 1000, 900 tons in the coal output
is indicated in these districts alone.
The proportionate decrease in the
other coking districts was even
greater and was particularly notice
able in Alabama. In West Virginia
coke making has become yearly of
relatively less Importance, and al
though coal production in some OF
the older districts showed substantial
losses, new mines have been opened
and these have in part made up the
decrease in production in the older
districts. Moreover West virginia
mines that ship to the western states
have been called upon to make up
the shortage in those states caused
