MORE DRILLS FOR
ROCHESTER MERGER
EQUIPMENT SECURED TO CAR
RY OUT BIG SCOPE OF DE-
VELOPMENT

ROCHESTER,, New, June "a
Three additional drills are ex-
pected any day by the Rochester
Merger company tn add to the
COMPLEMENT already in operation
ander air furnished by the new
12-drill compressor Just installed.
Already new work has been start
ed at the 124O-foot point in the
Friedman tunnel, this being a drift
to the south to undercut the Sun
flower at practically the eastern
most extremity at a depth of close
to 500 feet. Laterals to the west
will be run so as to thoroughly ex-
plot the veins that are known to
run through the hill, some of
which are thought to be the eX-
tensions of those Nlready cut in the
Friedman and Pitt tunnels.
This is the most comprehensive
piece of work yet inaugurated in
the Rochester district and together
with the other work now in pro-
gress from these two tunnels the
Rochester Merger will have ear
ried out a remarkable plan of de-
velopment seldom undertaken. The
orebodies already exposed warrant
the execution of this great plan,
which is to make of the Merger
a huge mine in such a manner that
when once the extraction of ore
begins it can be followed up for
an indefinite period.
No effort is to be made for the
present towards any production,
except occasional shipments from
the surface workings.

POINT WON BY
POWER COMPANY
COURT RESTRATNS ASSESSORS
FROM TAXING PROPERTY
AT HIGH RATE

Judge Harrington n the United
States federal court has handed
down his opinion In the tax cases
of the Nevada California Power
company VS.. Nye and Esmeralda
counties. The court held that the
franchise elements of value of the
power company could not be as
sessed in the manner attempted by
the tax commission; that this meth
cd in effect was an attempt to as
sess and tax in Nevada property
actually located in California; that
the company had no plain, adequate
remedy in the state court and
granted an injunction pendente
lite against the officials of Nye AMI
Esmeralda counties from collecting
on any valuation in excess of 81,
1872, 900.
The decision is against the taxing
officials upon the law question, but
upon the facts more than doubles
the taxes of the company. The TAX
commission assessed the power COM
pany at $2,20O,0NO in both cou1-
ties. The power company contend
ed in the suit that it's assessment
should have been ~$733,00O and
rendered taxes on this basis and the
court in effect fiyed the valuation
at $4,192,0 O0.-Carson Appeal.

WOMAN BADLY BURNED
BY BLAZING GASOLINE
CLEANING BELT OVER PAN
OF GASOLINE NEARLY RE-
SUITS FATALLY

The hottest fire that has visited
Goldfield in many months occurred
last night at about 7:15 at the
600 block on North Bellevue, and
Mrs. Folsom had a narrow escape
from being burned to death.
The fire was caused by the 'gni-
ton of gasoline, with which Mrs.
Folsom was cleaning a belt. The
gasoline. in a pan, ignited and bad
1y burned the woman about the
arms and less severely about the
head and face. Her left arm was
burned to the armpft and the right
to the elbow. Her husband, who
was in the house at the time, saved
her life by rolling her on the
floor and extinguishing the flames.
The flames from the huring liquid
had in the meantime set fire to
the Durlap-lined walls and broker
through the roof.
.Afie' taking his wife from the
lcJse. Folsom turned in the alarm
over a neighbours telephone and
when the fire department reached
the scene, after laying 1900 feet
of hose from the plug at Fifth ave
u and Myrtle street, the house
was e%nveloped in flames which
quickly turned it into a total loss.
A few article s0f value were
saved by neighbors before the ar
rival of the fire engine. The own
err of the house IS Mrs. M. c.
Richards, proprietor of the Nevada
hotel, and no insurance was car
ried.
Folsom expressed his appreciation
of the work done by the fire de-
partment and by neighbors who as
sisted in the saving of household
effects. Firemen Cameron and Ca
halan were painfully burned about
the face and ears.

he is anxious to try conclusions
with him.
Ball promptly accepted the chal-
lenge, and the pair met this MORN
ing. snapped experiences and ayr
eed to come together at a later date
to arrange the details of the con-
test.
Tony Ball is the man who put
the first discovery monument m
Jess Willard, c%onqueror of Jack
Johnson and present holder OF the
heavyweight title.
Ball and Charley Cutler, at nv
time heavyweight champion of tie
world and the man to whom Gotch
turned over his title on his retire
ment from the game, were running
boxing and wrestling shows in River
view park in Chicago in 1912 when
Willard first hit the windy city from
oklahoma. He was at hat time
thin and awkward and Ball and
Cutler used him occasionally to fill
in the thin places in their pro-
grams.
Cutler later took him in hand
and after polishing off some of he
rough spots, put him in the ring
for his first real fight at O'Con-
noll's in Chicago. a club used by
many fighters as their training
quarters. 1t was at O'Connell's that
he first rubbed elbows with the
champs and near champs and it
was from there that he branchei
out in the game in which he has
fought his way to the top, gaining
a fortune on the way up.

HYlANO ARRIVES
HERE FOR FIGHT
HAS WITH HIM YOUNG MAX
WELL, WHO FIGHTS PADDY
O'HERN

Fighting Dick Hyland, the Cali
fornian who led Battling N,
for 20 rounds in a fight for the
lightweight championship of the
world, arrived in Goldfield this
morning with Young Maxwell, a Chi
cago lightweight. Hyland is to box
Danny Mathews 10 rounds on the
afternoon of July 4 and states that
he has been doing some strenuous
training for the past two weeks to
condition himself for the bout.
Hyland started fighting in 19O'
and is 80 years of age, although the
majority of fight followers think he
is past that age. He has engaged
in about $50 fights in his career
and is known as n of the gamest
men that ever climbed through the
ropes. His long battle with Leach
Cross in San Francisco when, under
a burning hot sun he fought the
New York lightweight for Al
rounds, finally knocking him out,
stands as one of the classics of
American Kingdom.
His defeat of the New York dem
fist entitled Hyland to a crack at
Battling Nelson, then champion.
The two men met at Colma, Cal,
May 20, 1909, for a 45-round con-
test for the lightweight champion
ship of the world. Hyland out
classed and beat Nelson for 20 long
rounds, but the Danes marvellous
endurance proved the undoing of
Fighting Dick, who was then Just
past 20 years, and he went down
to defeat in the 23d round.
Hyland has also met and defeat
ed such prominent ringmen as
Packy. Mcfarland, Young Corbett,
Rudy Unholz, Tommy Murphy. Cy-
clone Johnny Thompson, frankie
Neil, Eddie Hanlon, Matty Baldwin,
Sammy Smith. Pal Moore, Matt
Wells and Willie Beecher, now one
of the best drawing cards fighting
on the Atlantic coast. Hyland will
be the biggest fight attraction i'm
ported into Goldfeld in recent years.
Young Maxwell. a Chicago boy, is
considered a classy lightweight
around San Francisco. He will meet
Paddy O'Hern in a six-round pre-
liminary to the Mathews-Hyland
bout. Maxwell has a 12-round de-
cision over Johnny O'Leary, light
weight champion of Canada, a 12-
round decision over Sammy Good,
and has fought such men as Joe
Bailey, Barney Mullens, Eddie Shan
non, and holds a fo%ur-round decision
over Jack Smith, who fought Herb
White 10 rounds here last Fourth of
July.
Gus Rainier, who has been APP
pointed matchmaker for the coming
show, is dickering with several
heavyweights in an endeavor to
secure a man to pit against Ray
Carey, the eastern heavy who ar
rived here Saturday.
Hyland, Carey, Maxwell and the
rest of the boxers scheduled to APP
pear on the fourth will train in the
Goldfield Athletic club between two
and three every afternoon. Carey
had a short workout Saturday after
noo before a few of the fans and
showed himself the fastest big man
ever seen here.
