BIG FIND Of HIGH GRADE TUNGSTEN
IN THE VICINITY Of OLD BELMONT

terest but the location was not com
pleted until after the January blizzard
and it was the first of February be-
fore any assays were secured The
values are carried in the form of float
and ledge matter in wolramite be
tween well defined walls of grnnite.
The location is in the Monitor
Range south of Belmont and l6 miles
northeast of Manhattan making the
distance from Tonopah fifty mites.
Distance from shipping station Will
make this concentrating proposition
and, if the Llewellyn deal goes through
steps will be taken to install machin-

Production can begin on the surface
so there will be no lack of ore.
The location was made by NJ. J.
Kelly. p. 0. Harris, J. c. Humphrey
and Chas. Humphrey. The outcrop.
ping has been proven for distance
of 1900 feet.

What promises to become one of the

on the coast is creating great excite

in which vicinity the find was made.
This morning David s. Llewellyn, ac-
companied by Theodore A. Bell, the
renowned attorney of California, went
out to make an examination with the
intention of buying the nine claims
comprising the block of mineralized

CAL SHAW DIES
ON COMING HOME
EXPIRES IN FEW HOURS AFTER
REACHING HIS HOME IN
TONOPAH

Cal. Shaw. one of the best known
citizens of Tonopah, died this morn
ing at 1880, shortly after arriving
home from Los Angeles, where he had
gone to see if the climate would not
lead TO Improvement
The deceased was loyal to his adop-
ted town and his last wish, when in
formed that he had only few more
days to live, was that he be brought
to Tonopah to expire in familiar en-
vironment. His wish was gratified,
but by a narrow margin, since his
death occurred couple of hours after
arriving.
Mr. and Mrs. Shaw. accompanied by
their daughter, reached Goldfield last
evening by train from the south. The
| family desired To have the invalid
| stop over in Goldfleld where he coult
receive medical attention and, posi-
bly, recruit his fast waning strength
but Mr., Shaw refused and insisted oi
being taken to his old home. Tw'

NEW FRENCH HELMET
HIGHLY ENDORSED
ANCIENT DAYS OF FULL ARMOR
EQUIPMENT MAY BE
REVIVED

PARIS, Apr. 5,-Surgeons consider
the success of the new helmet OF the
French army so effective that the pos
sibility of a return to the old days
when the chest and abdomen were also
protected by armor is being seriously
discussed. Doctor Roussy has Just
stated before the medical academy
that the number of men sent to the
hospitals with slight scalp wounds
doubled between the month OF August
when the helmet was first put INTO use
and the month of January when the
army was still only partially equipped
with It. This enormous increase Is
supposed to indicate that the percent
age of dead from hullets and shell frag
ments in the head has diminished II
corresponding proportion.

The fact that Senator Beckham was
one of the ten Democrats who voted
for immediate consideration of the
immigration Bill, in spite of the eau
Gus decision to postpone it, does not
necessarily imply that Senator Beck
ham is not a good Democrat. 1t is
not or ought not to be a partisan
measure and Democrats may be eX-
pected to differ upon the importance
of such questions. When President
Wilson made it plain that he would
not approve the bill in its present
form, Senator Beckham promptly
changed his vote. If we mistake not,
some of the Kentucky Congressman
are opposed to the Presidents pre-
paredpess plans, and yet they are
good Democrats and have all been
renominated. The Kentuckian did
not support Mr.. Beckham for the
nomination for Senator, but it believe
he should be given credit for doing
his own thinking.
