VERDICT OF GUILTY
RETURNED BY JURY
CHARGE THAT LABOR WAS Or
TANNED UNDER FALSE REP
RESERVATIONS

A warrant for the arrest of s. +.
Fitchett of Goldfield was worn to
oe1ure the local justice court Jan. 10,
by T. F. McClusky, a miner employed
by Fitchett in the Coaldale distr.ct.
The warrant was issued under the
state laws of 1913. Section 1, chap
ter 276, was quoted as applicable
to the case. This chapter OF the
act prohibits persons or corpora
tons from obtaining labor under
false representations.
A jary trial a given the de
PENDANT and the aSe called Jan.
IA. The verdict was unanimous
for conviction as charged in the
complaint. Hatton & Hatton, act
ing as attorneys for the defendant,
made a motion for a new trial, which
was denied by Justice Arnold.
Judge Arnold sentenced Fitchett
to pay a fine amounting to $275,
including costs.
The action brought by McClusky
is the result of the alleged failure Of
Fitchett to pay a bill for wages
due McClusky for labor performed
on a lease obtained by the de-
PENDANT from the Darms Coal Mining
company. Suit was brought recent
ly in the district court by Fitchett
for the recovery of the contract price
of the work from the company, on
the grounds that the company broke
its contract with him and thus
made it impossible for him to car
ry out his agreement to sink a
shaft on the property.

WILL HAVE PLANT TO
TREAT SCHEElIIE ORE
ACTIVITY is INDICATED BY
OPERATIONS OF TUNGSTEN
MINING CONCERNS

John Tilford, who with his broth
ers is developing a group of schee-
lite claims at Scheelite states that
as soon as the roads are open a
test shipment of ore will be made
from the property in order to Sc
cure a definite idea as to the best
methods of treating the ore, after
which arrangements will be made for
the erection of a plant neal the
mines. The property is opening up
remarkably well and Tilford is OF
the opinion that the development
at the present time is sufficiently
encouraging to Justify the erection
of a plant. 1t is expected that the
plant will be in operation some time
in March, providing weather ccudi-
lions prove favorable.
Tilford states that a ball mill is
now being put in by the Doyle Min
ing company at Sacramento pass
which will have a capacity of $50
tons daily, which will materially in
crease the present capacity of the
plant.
Notwithstanding the cold weather
the plant at Bonita has been run
ming steadily all winter. A gasO-
line engine was recently installed
there, while the water for the TIA
bles and is pumped fro.

SUFFERING

DISHONESTY HAS BEEN DIS
COVERED IN PROFESSION
AL FOOTBALL PLAYERS

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-That pre-
~fessional sport suffers periodical set
backs, no matter in what part of the
world it is staged, is shown by re-
cent events both in this country and
England. Baseball is just emerging
from a season of depression, finan
cial and otherwise, in this country
while in England soccer, which cor
responds to baseball in the United
States, is being subjected to an
investigation and house cleaning.
The facts were brought out at an
inquiry conducted by the football
league and the football association
with the result that eight men were
permanently barred from playing.
Four of these professionals were
members of the Liverpool club,
three belonged to the Manchester
United club and the other one play
ed on the team of the Chester club.
No suspicion was attached to any
officials of these organizations but
it was proved that certain players,
conspiring to throw the game, placed
fets on the match last season.
Like professional baseball, profess
sional football has managed to keep
On untainted reputation as a ganer
al thing. But in spite of heav,
gate receipts, the British profession
ais are poorly paid and their small
ray may have tempted the accused
men to make a bit on the side by
dishonest playing.

NEVADA MINES CUT
SILVER PRODUCTION
Low PRICE OF METAL. RESULT.
ED IN A SMALLER
OUTPUT

The preliminary estimates of the
United States geological survey and
the bureau of the mint for 1915
indicate an output of 67,4S5, 500
fine ounces of silver, valued at
s34,417,656. Although next to the
record output of 1914 in quantity,
according to H. d. McCaskey, of the
survey, the value based on the low
average price of s.51 per fine
for 1915, the lowest in the history
of the industry. was considerably
below the value for 1914 and many
previous years. when production was
smaller but prices ruled higher.
Increases in the mine production
of silver were especially notable in
Montana. Utah and Arizona, and
were reported from Colorado ard
from Nevada. following similar de-
creases in 1914. Preliminary totals,
based on ore marketed as distin-
guished from ore smelted, indicate a
record output of $4,000, 900 ounces
of silver from all domestic mines
for 1915; but some of this was
produced under stimulation of bet.
ter prices at the close of the year
and did not reach metallic form at
the smelters and refineries until
1916.
Final figures will probably show
that in mine output of silver Mon
tana passed Nevada and took first
place in 1915 with a record output,
the early figures indicating an in
over the production for 1914
of more than 2,4OO, 900 ounces, due
chiefly to increased copper and zinc
lead mining at Butte.
Nevada silver mines showed a
decrease of about 975,00O ounces,
following a similar large decrease in
1914, due mainlv to the low price
of silver. The Tonopah silver-gold
mines were the largest producers
again in 1915, and the Nevada Won
der and Nevada Hills mines, in
Churchill county. and the mines Of
the Rochester district, in Humboldt
county. were also active. Opera
tions in the Rand district, in Min
eral county, and at the old camp of
Belmont, in Nye county, were also
of interest.

Confirmation of the theories long

MARRIED "BOOZE FIGHTERS'
ARE GIVEN GOOD ADVICE

To the married man who thinks
he cannot get along without his reg
ular drinks, the following is sug-
gested as a solution to the bondage
of his habit:
1. Start a saloon in your own
house.
2. Be the only customer and you
will have no license to pay. Give
your wife So to buy a gallon of
whisky, and remember there are
only SO drinks in a gallon.
3. Buy your drinks from no
but your wife and by the time the
first gallon is gone she will have
So to put in the bank and 50 t o
start business again.
4. Should you live 10 years and
continue to buy booze from her,
and then die with snakes in your
boots, she will have money enough
to bury you d%ecently, educate your
children, buy a house and lot,
marry a decent man and quit
thinking about you. - Mining

BREEDING BATS TO
CATCH MOSQUITOES
HEALTH OFFICIALS ASKED HOW
TO GET RID OF BATS
AFTERWARD

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. IS
An army of mosquito-eating bats,
several thousand strong, will be
turned loose in San Antonio next
month. If, as has been predicted
for it, the army succeeds in Grip
ping seriously the activities of the
germ-laden mosquito population.
many other cities may follow San
Antonio's example and establish
their municipal bat roosts.
DIR. G.. A. Campbell, who has
made a special study of bats, is
responsible for San Antonio's 5a:
roost. he institution came into
existence last spring. 1t was not
a success in it's first year owing to
tho fact that it was established late
in the spring, and it's population vas
not numerous enough. This spring
there is a large army of bats on
hand and it is expected to get IN
early start.
DR.. Campbell says that one hat

eat 1000 mosquitoes. He expects
hordes of mosquitoes to perish daily,
and that by the end of the summer
the pestiferous insects will be al
most, if not entirely, missing from
this locality.
The flight of the bats will begin
about Feb. Is and from then until
April 80 they will fly about all
night long. trailing and %devouring
mosquitoes. DR.. Campbell saws
that more malaria, typhoid and 9th
err germs a mosquito carries, the
better the bat relishes it.
After April 80 the bats grow
less hungry and more sleepy. BY
the end of July their flight totals
only about two hours. Soon there
after the reason for baby bats ar
rives.

to get rid of mosquitoes, he re-
piled: Breed bats" Then he got

STOCKS POSSESSED
OF NO PAR VALUE
NEW SYSTEM Is EXPECTED III
OVERCOME DIFFICULTIES
EXPERIENCED

Something rather unusual in form
ing mining companies without par
value to the stock is suggested Dy
the Boston News bureau, which says
that the organization of various
new companies, the stocks OF wnlch
are issued without par value, mas
led to man inquiries from invest
ors as to the advantage and slgnl-
ficance of issuing stock in that
manner.
Common shares are merely evil
dence that the holder is a record
ed partner in the corporation, en-
titled to a certain proportion Of
dividends when declared, and upon
final dissolution of the corporation,
to participate in assets after pay
ment of bonds, preferred stock anu
other claims. This right is not de-
termined by par value, but by pro-
portion the share holds to the entire
issue of stock. In an issue of l0.ooo
shares each share would represent
and equal part.
To the trained mining or OTHER
investor no difference what the par
value may be or whether the share
has any or not he is accustomed TO
look at the real value of the proper
tomato interest in dividends evil
denced by the share.
The objection to q par alu lies
mainly in the fact that people un-
accustomed to the stock market are
inclined to look upon the face value
of the share as an indication of their
real worth, when they are nothing
Of the kind.
1t is mainly for their protection,
and to discourage the evils of over
capitalization that the mo value"
share is advocated. 1t appears to
re the strongest reason for the adop-
ton of the New York law of 1912.
The face value of a silver dollar
Is 100 cents. but if the government
did not make it legal tender il
