in front of the artillery targets at
Vincennes. He was condemned on
March 16 for giving the Germans
Information as to numbers and
movements of troops in France,
and had since vainly exhausted all
means of appeal, including that of
applying to the president of the
republic.
On the morning of his execution
~Condoyannis was wakened in his
cell at $3.50 and told that his time
had come. He dressed slowly, re-
beating that he wanted to make
further statements, but interrupt
ing himself every now and then to
say to the guards, $50 you insist
hat I shall be shot?"
When dressed, Condoyannis was
ordered into a wagon drawn by two
'orses and was taken on a journey
of half an hours duration to the
butts" Getting out of the wagon
he walked, firmly enough, the
guards say, to the wooden post at
which he was to stand to be shot.
but kept constantly exclaiming Il
'rotest. I protest" While he was
still protesting the guards began to
bandage his eyes but Condoyan-
mis- tore the cloth way saying he
svould give the order to fire him
felf. At this point he began to
make a speech. Brave French SOL
diers - He got so far but no
further, at this moment the officer
commanding the firing party lower
ed his sword and Condoyannis fell
pierced by a dozen balls.

The managers. who were the
heads of the company, left every
thing just as it was, laid off their
workmen and left the property, new

THE FUTURE

/. p. Carpenter, who has been in
charge of operations for A. B. Call
of Pasadena and associates in the
EAST at the new tungsten camp of
Treasure Basin, near Belmont, came
in from that section this week and
reported that owing to the slump
in the price of tungsten it was deem
ed advisable to discontinue work for
a while. Mr.. Carpenter stated that
the property was showing up as
we'll as could be expected with the
amount of work done. The values
secured are as high as any reported
at any of the new tungsten mines in
southern Nevada.
A. B.. Call, who with eastern CAPT.
talists are behind the Treasure Basin

property, but has had it's shipment
delayed indefinitely.

residents of the famous old silver
camp are feeling very optimistic
over the future of the mines there
now that the Monitor-Belmont COM
pany is making such Roadway in
handling the ores from the old
dumps. The Wittenberg company
makes regular shipments of concen-
trates from Belmont for the Mont
tor company.
1t is understood that the company
is planning to work in the
mines within the next GO days.
When this is done it is claimed that
the treatment of the ore will be less
expensive Those who are familiar
with early-day mining in Belmont
claim that great bodies of silver ore
still remain in the mines-that they
we're never worked out-and that
once work is under way again they
will make as good showing as some
of the younger and better known
silver properties in southern Nevada.
The new work in the mines that
were considered bonanzas in the

duced many millions of dollars

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, June 2
Franz o Papen, recalled
at the request of the United States
government as military attache of
the German embassy at Washington,
and who has cOme to Holland on a
secret mission, has a purpose which
is three-fold, according to the Am

does not mention Captain Won Papen
by name, but alludes to him as a
first-class specialist who recently ar
rived here after covering himself
with worldwide fame in the exer-
else of functions in another neutral

The Telegraf says that the "spe-
cialist" has come here, first, to OBJ
tain information of military and po-

eigners residing or visiting Holland;
public opinion in favor of Germany.
The German ''secret information

line being the centralizing of di-

SHOWING

c. L.. Rollins, secretary of the
Alamo Mining company, operating
a silver-lead-copper property, came
to Tonopah yesterday with samples
Of ore which, when shown about
town, aroused considerable inter
est. Accompanying Mr.. Rollins to
Tonopah were J. F. Foremaster and
j.. P. Foremaster. Samples of the
ore assayed by r. B. Kidd, return
ed $3.50 per ton in gold; CT per
cent copper. II per cent lead and
40 silver. Total value,
$94.79.
MI. Rollins stated that they have
two feet of this ore in the lime
stone with diorite and porphyry
contact. The shaft is down 35 feet
and from it was secured the ore
that carried the above values.
One ledge on the property has
heen exposed by open cuts and
shallow shafts for a distance of
$50 feet. Mr.. Rollins stated that
ore has been opened up in eight
different places on the ground. One
sHaft sunk in the side of a hill
struck a cross fissure that carried
a heavy flow of water, gave up ore
sssaving SO a ton in gold and ST

ROCHESTER MERGER
STRIKES RICH ORE
IIR HILL is HERALDED
AS IMPORTANT

Ore running $24.bO in gold and
$29.3S in silver, was discovered
last Saturday on Sunflower hill, the
Mines company. This discovery
was made by reason of float being
found in the immediate vicinity,
which traced to it's apparent source
was found to have come from the
ledge now being opened up to de-
termine the extent of the %orebody.
Where first opened it was from
three to four feet wide.
In the immediate vicinity several
finds have been made of high
grade ore and a number of dis
tinct veins have been traced. These
are all to be opened by the extern
sion of the drifts now being run
to the south from the Friedman
nno'. which will under cut Sum
flower hill and crosscut the veins
at a depth of over 700 feet. The
entire. property will thus be devel-
oped from the tunnel workings at
GOD depth, although the various
high grade shoots on and near
the surface will undoubtedly be
followed down to shallow depths.
Samples taken from the ship
ment of rich ore prepared showed
values of over $135 per ton. Two
carloads will he the mount of the
shipment. This ore also comes
from the Sunflower hill workings,
establishing the fact that this hill
is one of the richest ever opened
anywhere.
In the drift south from the Pitt
tunnel at a distance of about 400
feet from that working assays
show values of from $25 to $50
in gold and silver. the majority
content being silver. This drift is
hoing extended TO meet another
similar drift north from the Fried
man tunnel. both of which are De-
ing run to develop the No. 4 vein,
so called.

ling the amount of work which it
vas possible to accomplish when

of 700 feet, it was sunk to the

CLARK C0UNTy'S
GAMBLING CASES.
FIVE PLEAD
DISMISSED, REFERENDUM rE
Triton LAUNCHED

The grand jury of Clark coun-
ty, which has been investigating
the charges of gambling at Las
Vegas and other POINTS, on the g c
ommendation of Jrdge Horsey, SUI
mitted it's final report last week,
which has been published In 1uii
in the Las Vegas newspapers.
The report, in its language, Is d
scathing indictment of those re-
sponsible for the conditions which
prompted the investigation AND IN
addition to the indictments e
turned the jury makes the fol-
lowing recommendation:
Upon the subject of gambling
and neglect of duty on the part
of peace officers, to which our
attention was especially called
by your honor in your instruc-
lions to the jury, we have found
from evidence presented and
considered, that for a long time
past illegal gambling has been
openly conducted, with n
knowledge of the peace officers,
who have made no effort to pre-
vent the offense, and in in
stances one of them has partici-
pated therein. In view OF this
hopeless condition, and fragrant
neglect of duty on the part of
the peace officers, we strongly
recommend to the board or
county commissioners that it au-
thorize the district attorney to
use such county money as is
necessary, in the employment Of
detectives, and for the purpose
Of securing evidence to suppress
this and other evils. Such ac-
ton on the part of the commits
sioners seems especially neces-
sary from the further fact that
the peace officers have taken no
effective action to prevent mi
nors from f~requenting saloons.
or to supply the district attor-
ney's office with evidence for
prosecuting those saloon keep
ers who encourage and permit
this crime.
Of the eight indicted for gam
bling five pleaded guilty and will
come to trial in September. In
three other instances the indict-
ments were dismissed on account
of the failure of the grand jury to
conform to the provisions of the
statute by including the names Of
all witnesses examined in con-
nection with the indictments. TIL
provisions Of the law are clea>
in this respect.
A more significant and probably
far reaching result, however, of the
action of the court and the grand
jury has been the preparation and
the circulation of a referendum pc
tition asking that the present gam
bling law be submitted to a vote
of the people at the forthcoming
November election. These psti-
tionS, to be valid, must be signed
by 10 per CEN of the vote cast for
justice of the supreme court at the
last election.
