PLEA FOR YOUNG DOVES

For the past month or more par
ties of hunters have been leaving
Goldfield for various parts of the
surrounding country and returning
with large bags of doves. One
party is said to have recently killed
144 of the birds on a Sunday hunt.
Just now is the mating season for
doves and the killing of each pair
of the grown birds is equivalent
to the slaughter of a nest full of
young. Papers in the northern part
of the state have been commenting
on the dove killing in that section,
stating that the practice is OF be
deplored. There is no law protect
ing the birds, but until July Is
their slaughter is a waste.

HIGH GRADE OUTPUT
FROM GWEtNAH MINE
LEMAIRE BROTHERS MAKE M
PORTANT STRIKE IN THEIR
SHAFT

The Gweenah mine of the Lee
maires has recently been producing
some very high-grade ore, a quantity
of which is now here awaiting ship
ment. But valuable as this ore is,
it has been entirely overshadowed
by the ore recently opened up on the
100-foot level. This is completely
plastered with chloride of silver and
often with wire gold.
Samples sent to Henry Lemaire this
week are indicative of the richness
of the new ore-shoot and for mass
i've chunks of high-grade are in a
class by themselves. Another ship
ment is being broken down by the
miners and with this late ore going
in to make it up, promises to eclipse
any previous shipments sent out
from the mine Battle Mountain
Scout.

ance. His address was to the point
and the audience showed it's appre-
citation. He was followed by Lieu
tenant Governor Sullivan, who sus-
tanned his reputation as an enter
tanning impromptu talker, and then
Superintendent Weslar gave his
farewell address to the class, which
was full of human sympathy and
J professional interest and pride in

bers rendered by pupils of the
school and these were supplemented
by Jack Awkward, always popular
with Goldfield audiences, with a
solo that brought him an encore.

LYNN DISTRICT
HAS BIG STRIKE
PROPERTY OWNED BY "OIE"
ELLIOTT HAS EXCELLENT
SHOWING IN VEIN

Great excitement prevails in Car
lin and vicinity over a recent strike
make in the Lynn district on the
Rig Six property, owned by Ole
Elliott and under bond and lease
to a Salt Lake company. Mining
men from various parts of the
state have visited the scene of the
new discovery and they are unan-
imous in the decision that it is II
>; the most promising discoveries
ever made in Nevada.
The property has beer worked
in a small way since 1907 when it
was located by George Hunter.

cry of rich placer ground by Joe

Carlin about 20 miles and is q

through Tuscarora. Gold Circle.
Mineral Hill and Eureka. Placer
mining has been carried on in the
district ever since it's discovery,
with a yearly yield of $4,000 to
$4,000. The Big Six property is
located on the top of the Hum
boldt and Boulder watershed, and
down the mountain on both sides
are placer diggings. Many believe
that the new discovery is the source
of the placer gold.
The original workings On the
property consist of a shaft 200
feet deep with a crosscut of 200
feet and another shaft so feet
deep, several hundred feet to the
south. In the former the ore is
low grade. In the latter just the
edge of the vein was touched and
the shaft ran under the orebody. A
crosscut has revealed this orebody
and it is two feet wide.
The point of the new discovery is
about 100 feet northeast of the
smaller shaft on q parallel vein.
The ledge was blind was was dis
covered by accident. A panning was
taken from an ant pile and free
gold was discovered. A shaft
was started and close to the sur
face the ledge was encountered. 1t
is about -four and one-half feet
wide.
Straight down the gulch from the
Big Six is the Happier placer
claims where Pedro Orbe has been
working for several years with a
small force of men. Where this
gulch intersects the main gulch the
richest ground in the district was
found, and in a short space of time
$4,000 was taken out. One of
the nuggets weighed $2O.26.-Elko

MACHINE DRILLS IN
ROCHESTER MERGER
NEW EQUIPMENT WILL ExPE-
DITE WORK OF EXPLORING
LARGE VEINS

ROCHESTER,, New, June 10-The
new 12-drill air compressor Just
installed by the Rochester Merger
Mines company is now in opera
tion and more rock than ever is be-
ing broken. The work of blocking
out the orebody recently exposed
and now being drifted on from the
Pitt tunnel, 500 feet below the
surface on the dip of the vein, is
in progress. Raises are being run
every 80 feet and drifts will be
extended at each succeeding so
foot level until the surface is
reached.
The oreshoot has been proved to
be "a feet in width and the drift
to the south has not yet reached
the southern limit of the Shoot.
The last raise started, No 6, which
had reached a height of about 10
feet, sampled at the face, showed
20 ounces in silver and SO in gold,
a total of over SIS per ton. The
drift along the hanging wall, ac-
cording to daily sampling, runs
from $14 to SIS with every test.
! The Rochester Merger company
has sacked two carloads of ore
which runs about 500 per ton
and the shipment is now on its
way to the smelter. The ore comes
from the Sunflower shaft, at the
southern end of the property. Fur
ther shipments are expected to
follow, although it will not be the
policy of the company to make reg
ular shipments, as the extra cost is
deemed worth saving. In sorting
the ore from which this high grade
was secured several times as much
running better than $25 a ton, has
been left on the dump.
1t is estimated that there are
several thousand tons of ore aver
aging better than SIS per ton on
the various dumps. Between 1900
and 1000 tons of ore valued at
around $40 per ton is said to have
beer thrown on the dump from rhe
Pitt tunnel, the product of both the
big shoot being blocked out and the
rich shoot associated Herewith.

On the face of the returns, U. s.
Guyer Is beaten by one vote for the

suits today will give him a tie with E.

filed to settle the controversy, it is

Guyer asks for a mandamus writ

Linn county and asks for a recount
of the ballots in North Potosi pre-

were cast for him in this precinct, but
that the canvassers counted but sixty-
five If Guyer's contention be upheld,
he will tie Little for the nomination.
Pending a recount, Guyer asks a re-
straining order against the state can
wasting board. Action on the two
suits will be taken by the court late
this afternoon when attorneys for the
contesting candidates will be heard.
