SHIPPING ORE
AT SUNSHINE

There is considerable activity
shown these days at the camp of
Sunshine, about II miles south of
Winnemucca, in the Dun Glen
range. A. b. Cousins has resumed
work on the Diamond c mine and
from what can be learned this prop
erty will undergo extensive devel-
.opment during the summer. This
property has good showings of high
grade milling ore.
A. II. Taylor is at work on the
Superlative property, extracting ore
for shipment. This property has
been under continuous development
for some time by leasers and the
wners. The ore has been milled
with a small reduction plant at
the property, and a number of car
load shipments have been sent to a
smelter with good results. A short
time ago Verne Johnson and Sam
Baldwin sent out a carload ship
ment. The ore is mostly gOld-bear-
ing and of good grade.
William S. O'Brien, who owns
some valuable property in the dis
trict, also sent out a shipment OF
ore a short time ago.-HumbOldt

JOSEPH :. HENDERSON
DIES IN MISSOURI

Word has been received in Gold
field of the death in Glasgow, Mis-
souri, last Thursday of Joseph
Sterne Henderson, father of Joe
and Carroll Henderson, who left
here for Glasgow a few days ago.
About a year ago the deceased Wis
tied here with his sons, and at that
time apparently enjoyed the best of
health. He was 67 years of age
and was a druggist. He was a
man of strong personality and while
here made many friends. He
leaves to mourn him a wife, one
daughter and sever sons. Two or
the sons, Joseph and Carroll, re-
side here: two are in Elko, where
one, Hayden, is cashier of the Hen
derson bank.

LATE STYLE CONNOISSEUR
NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH

An auto travelling about 80 miles
per, an unfortunate who still has
to walk and q damSel with one OF
the late ballet-dancer length skirts
were in the same locality on one of
the downtown streets. The auto
driver and pedestrian were intent
on the abbreviated skirt, or rather
what occupied the space between the
bottom of the skirt and the side
walk. The pedestrian was still
looking over his shoulder when he
reached the middle of the street.
] OTIS wife was turned to salt for
displaying half the curiosity this
man showed, and he had a narrow
eocane from entering a state OF
inactivity from which he would
eventually have turned to dust. If
the auto had hit the pedestrian
under the circumstances, 1T would
have been difficult to place the
sponsibility, but o%nlookers decided
that either autos should travel
slower, the drivers wear ho"se
binders or the girls lengthen their
skirts. No sane person would favor
the last named remedy. but either
Of the first two would do, prefer
ably the first.

COP Taken for Parole ViOlatOr

ID. S. D~ickersOn, superintendent
of the state police, accompanied
ty a parole officer from California,
recently went to Wadsworth looking
for a parole violator from Folsom
prison. p. e. Dubois, constable of
Wadsworth for several years and
known t. all peace officers of that
section, states that DickersOn mis-
took him for the parole violator n
despite the fact that he protested
and that he wore his star during
the alteration, Dickerson placed
h.ndcuffs on him. With the aid CT
his wife he finally succeeded IN
convincing the officers that he was
innocent of any crime and when
he found out who the officers were
looking for, he located the man
for them.

EVERYTHING HARMONIOUS
BUT ATTEMPTED SHOOTING

Lizzie Hyde, colored, was testi-
fying in the district court yesterday
in a divorce action against her
husband, Johnson Hyde, brough. on
the grounds of desertiOn and failure
to provide. She testified that the
defendant deserted her in August,
1911, and that peace and harmony
rcigned in the household until that
time. she being the subject of much
affection, which vas duly returned,
her husband having absolutely no
reason to leave the family fireside.
A corroborating witness was requir-
cd as to residence, and Stewart
Meyers. the clerk of the court was
asked If he knew the witness. He
stated with emphasis that he did
not. A. J. Bogard. deputy sheriff,
was then called. who testified to the
residence of the witness at 513
North Second street. The location
of the residence brought memories
Of a feud in the Hyde family to
Judge Walsh, who was district at
torney at the time of the occur
renee. The judge asked the wit
ness if it was not a fact that she
took a shot at her husband at that
time and the witness admitted
that she had. The court concluded
that while being shot at might not
be a %justifiable ground for deser-
ton in the army, it would do in a
court, and in granting the divorce.
did so on the ground of failure to
provide only. The plaintiff had
kept the shooting occurrence dark
when talking with her attorney,
Francis McNulty. who knew moth
ing about it until it was mentioned
in court.

SWEEPS MAKE
RICH

The gathering and treatment OF
sweeps from the huge failing ponds
at Tonopah has developed into an
important industry and the Bel
mont is completing a plant for re-
covery Of the gold-silver values. The
mill will lave a capacity of 26 tons
per day. The material is subjected
to cyanide solution and the values
are precipitated on aluminium.
That the values contained in these
failing ponds were brought to the
surface by the rays of the sun,
and could be recovered by the sim
pie ~expedient of sweeping the sur
face was discovered by accident
about three years ago, and since
has grown into a profitable indus
try. At first the big companies
gave the privilege without royalty,
but lately a royalty has been ex-
acted. The discovery was made by
an old desert rat in one of the
Arizona camps. He was discovered
at work by a bright young man en-
rloyed at the mill, who Immediately
hopped or the train for Los An
geles and communicated the news
to Ben Loose, a mining mar well
acquainted in Tonopah. Loose Sc
cured the sweep privilege on
two or three ponds and went to
work, shipping the material to Mil
lers for treatment. He amassed
considerable money from the ven
ture before the big companies gave
much attention to his work.
Heavy SHOWS of the winter have
put the ponds in good condition
and a profitable season is a%nticipat-
ed. AS fast as the ponds are swept
they are flooded with water and
within. a few days the solution again
comes to the surface, forming a
white coating.

Shoots Up State Capital

A 1910 steel jacketed bullet
entered the window of the office of
State Comptroller Cole in the cap
itol building. knocked the plaster
from the wall where it hit as it
skidded around the room and n
nally landed on the floor. A sim
liar bullet entered an office opro-
site the capitol at the same time. The
missiles had travelled a long distance
but retained speed enough on their
arrival at the capitol to kill. Ef-
forts are being made to locate The
promiscuous shooter.

Falls for Old Trick

Professor" Samue!s, a Tonopah
dancing teacher, accidentally
overheard five TonOpahans discuss
ing an intended snipe hunt. He vol
~unteered the information that in
years past he had held the snipe-
hunting championship of the I'M
perial valley, where they know how
to drive snipes. The party reluct-
antly agreed to allow him TO ac-
company item on the hunt. The
party went Is miles from TOnopah,
where he was left holding a sack
beside a lighted candle. The rest
of the party left him a quart of
water and went to town. He is eX-
pected to arrive in Tonopdh in about
two days.

SOUaws Fail to Go On Spree

Five squaws recently came into
possession of a quart bottle of wills
key in Carson and were about to
light up when the sheriff corralled
them and escorted them to Jail. Lat
err in the evening of the same day
a drunken one-legged buck ap-
peared on the scene. His ballast
was so badly shifted that the
wooden prop used in lieu of a
leg was not equal to the task or
keening him upright and he fell,
striking his head on the sidewalk.
For a time it was thought that
ne had been killed but soon after
the arrival of the county physician
he was revived and taken in to keep
the five squaws company.

PUSH DEVELOPMENT ON
PACKARD NORTH EX.

Work is being pushed in two
places on the Packard North EX-
tension company ground in the
Rochester district. In tunnel B the
formation has been crosscut at a
point about 500 feet from the por-
tai. The miners are now in what
appears to be a porphyry dyke. The
crosscut will be continued to the
intersection with the rhyolite where
the management expects to pick up
the continuation of the Packard
formation. The vein that was cut at
the 242 foot point has been open
ed up with very promising results.
Hogerton and Hampton who have
a lease on a block of the company's
ground, are driving tunnel A to
hit a vein from which, in shallow
workings on the surface, they have
taken out 90 tons of ore of a good

Heavy Stock Loss

The crop report of the depart
ment of agriculture recently Issued
makes a number of interesting
statements regarding the loss from
exposure and disease in sheep and
cattle in the western states up to
April | of this year. Loss of
sheep and cattle for the three
months amounted to 26,S3S ami
mails. The heaviest loss was SUI
feIed by Nevada, the loss being 20
per 1000 head. The lowest loss
was in Wyoming, 10 per 1000. The
total loss in Nevada for the period
is shown to have been about 2,0cO
head, or about three per cent high
err than for the 10 year period, 1905

MYERS HAS BIG
TUNGSTEN MINE
GOLDEIELD PIONEER AND ASSO-
GATES SAID To HAVE
RICH PROPERTY

At Scheelite, the Independent
Tungsten company, organized by AL
ID Myers, Charles Gaby, William
Stewart and X. c. Davis of Ely and
Captain Duncan MacVichie of salt
Lake City, has eight claims and is
conducting extensive operations,
employing about 80 men. A good
camp has been established where
wood and water are plentiful, and
every effort has been made to pro-
vide comfort and pleasant sur
roundings for the men. Operations
are in charge of Mr.. Myers.
Vt the main camp a 30-ton CON
centrating mill is under construc-
ton and is being rushed as fast as
heavy timbers and other material
cen be hauled in from Ely. The
equipment will consist of crusher,
ball mill, rolls, concentrating tables
and sinners. and the plant is eX-
pected to be in operation within
less than 80 days from date.

At the base of the hill, between
shafts Nos. 9 and /, a tunnel known
as No. | is being driven IN a strong
vein, near the junction of two
veins. and there is a good show
ing of quartz and scheelite, which is
improving as development progress
es. A large compressor plant is
being installed at the portal of this
tunnel from which power will he

Gus other points.
One of the best showings on this
property is in No. 2 tunnel, on a
parallel vein, the work being about
1000 feet easterly from No. /. The
tunnel is in about 60 feet and at
the time of my visit the face showed
about four feet of quartz and soft
granite, through which scheelite was
literally disseminated. The general
indications were favorable to a verv
substantial improvement.
Roads are being graded to tie
principal operation points around
