Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1916-12-02

J. Fl. Cook. one of the best known
mining operators and mining experts
of the in termountain region, has just
returned from careful inspection of
the numerous interests he holds in
Mineral county, New, devoting the
major portion OF his time TO the Bell
and Athens districts, in both of
which sections numerous Salt Lakers
other than himself are inerested,
says the Salt Lake Tribune.
Mr. Cook said Yesterday that it
was a matter of common knowledge
among mining men that Mineral
County was one of the most promis-
ing mining districts in Southern
Nevada, the whole region being
dotted with many promising mining
districts, among which were to be
found the Schurz, Aurora, LuckybNy
Luning, Klondke ard Olympic
groups
Speaking directly and from obser-
vation of the Bell aud Athens dis.
tricts, Mr.. Cook said that the Byll
district was located twenty-four miles
east of Nina. the terminal of the
Southern Pacific railroad, and the
beginning of the Tonopah and Gold
field road for this region.
Eight or nine years ago these dis.
tricts showed much productiveness,
but the miners found a lean streak
and there was a period of quietude.
The rejuvenation, said Mr.. Cook, so
evident at the present time, is due
solely to the substantial merits Of
the region, as further exploration
has developed its possibilities.

the Bell district, ground discovered

A Ghastly Spectacle.

On November 29th the Hawthorne
coroner was called to the Dumontele
mill to hold an inquest on the body
of Daniel Doran, who was found dead
at that place the day before by Alex
Cameron of Yerington.
The body of Doran was found in Il
reclining position on his bed. An
automatic shotgun was found placed
between his legs, one of his hands on
the trigger guard. The left eye and
left side OF his face were blown away
Death must have been instan taneous.
That the tragedy was caused by Do
ran himself there is no doubt, and
the jury found that he had commit
ed suicide. When Mr.. Cameron-who
was Dorans mining reached
the cabin be found the door lock ed,
aud heard dog barking inside. He
broke open the door and found Do
ran dead as above described The
bed clothes aud cabin walls were CO.
vered with blood. The jury found
that Dorau had been dead about six
days. The body was frozen and no
decomposition had set in.
Owing to the mutilated condition
of the body and the almost inaccess-
ible place where it was found, it was
deemed ties. to have the remains
buried near the mill.
A Luckyboy Miners Union card,
dated 1909, and also II Yerington
Miners Union card, dated the same
year, were found among his effects.
Doran was native of Nevada
apparently A. years of age.
His brother in San Francisco was
notified and will probably remove
the remains to that city for inter
ment.

FIVE-CENT LOAF TO
GO, DECLARE BAKERS

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. THE
five-cent loaf of bread is about to be-
come thing of the past, according
to opinions expressed by the delegates
assembled here for the nineteenth an
rual convention of the National as
ISOLATION of Master Bakers. Bakers
in many of the larger cities have al
ready discontinued the five-cent loaf
and it is predicted that the ten-cent
loaf soon will be standardized through
out the country. The, high price Of
flour, the increased cost of labor and
the added expense of complying with
the sanitary and pure food laws are
the reasons advanced for the boost in
the price of bread.
The business sessions of the bakers
convention will open tomorrow morn
ing with addresses Of welcome by Gov
ernor. Spry and Mayor Ferry, and a
response by William M. Regain of Min
neapolis, after which President Jay
Burns of Omaha will deliver the con-
vention keynote, preparedness for
the Baking Industry"
