TUNGSTEN OUTPUT Is
SHOWING DECREASE

Tungsten activity has somewhat
subsidized owing to the drop in price
and no market. The United States
Tungsten company has reduced its
mill to one shift for want of orc.
1t has a contract at $3.50 per unit.
Much ore of commercial grade could
be purchased, helping themselves
and the p~rospectors. The Independ-
ent mill was started and made a
short run, but has not sufficient
power for the crusher and elevators.
The Consolidated Tungsten COM
pany, adjoining the United States
Tungsten company on the south, has
it's mill running. The Nevada Schee-
lite company, in the Minerva dis
trict, has a small plant in operation
for sampling purposes.

WOMAN USES RAZOR
IN REO-LIGHT ROW
WOMAN IN JAIL AND OTHER
IN HOSPITAL AS
RESULT

The sheriff's office received a
hurry call about 100 this after
moor from the red-light district
and on Deputy Sheriff Bogard's ar
rival in the district he found Maud
Barnette, a colored woman, lying on
the floor of her house in a pool of
blood which was coming from nu-
merous cuts on her head, face,
throat and arms, alleged to have
been inflicted with a razor by
Flossy Edwards, another cOlOred in
habitant of the restricted district.
The eating is said to have been the
result of an argument in the course
of which expressive names were
used.
The Barnette woman was taken to
the hospital, where it is stated that
her wounds will not result fatally.
The woman who is alleged to have
done the cutting is now in Jail.
The sheriff's office states that when
she was taken in it was evident that
she had been drinking, but was in
condition to realize what h was
doing. She claims ~self-defense, but
a search of the person of the in
jured woman and her room failed to
reveal a weapon of any kind.
Maud and Flossy are the pair
who were the joint n of a hat
which was torn from the head of
one of them by another colored wo-
man some time ago and resulted in
the trio getting into the justice
court.

York for $1,000 00 is reported. The

GROWTH OF MINING AC-
TIVITY IN STATE

WASHINGTON. July s. The
use of tractor engines, hauling on
each trip between mine and raul
road 80 tons of ORE, has been a
big factor in n of the greatest
revivals the mining industry OF
Nevada mas experienced. In the
last six months, according to a
report to the United States geo
logical survey, made by ". C..
Heikes of the Salt Lake office.
Old mines, closed for years, have
been reopened or are being put In
shape and the regular producers
have increased their output. Gol
and silver, it is estimated, pro-
badly will show little increase,
but lead ore production has been
greater than in recent years.

AGED SQUAW FOUND
LYING At ROADSIDE
DESERTED BY HER PEOPLE,
SHE TRIES TO WALK TO
Ida

AS j. w. Dunfee was coming by
auto from Hornsilver this morn
ing, he found an aged Shoshone
squaw lying by the roadside, about
four miles from Rea's camp. She
was half covered with dust that
the wind had blown ove her and
was completely exhausted. He
took her to Goldfield and dropped
her near the county hospital, tell
ing her to go there. She wander
ed into a house on South Sundog
and fell on the floor.
The sheriff's office was notified
and Billy Mercer and K. P. Alfred
took her to the court house, where
she drank large quantities of water
and ate ravenously, stating that she
had been without food or water
for two days.
Clyde Johnson and Billy Mercer,
who speak Piute as fluently as a
tribal chief, but who understand not
the mysteries of the ShOshOne
tongue, were unable to converse
with her, but District Attorney Dis
kin ELECTED the information that
she was one of a number of Ida
Indians who came here to celebrate
the Fourth. Her tribespeople had
deserted her after participating in
the war dance on the night of the
Fifth and she started on the long
hike to rejoin them at Ida.
Although she is less than five feet
in height and of an age when white
people are almost helpless, she had
walked 20 miles over the desert in
her bare feet, without food or water,
before collapsing, and after being
taken to the sheriff's office, although
so weak from thirst and hunger that
she could not hold her head up, h
asked for nothing and uttered no
word of complaint. She merely
pointed her s~hriveled, sun-baked
hands to the south and said h
wanted to go to Ida.
