Oring to initiate the trill of a bird,
though in a much modified manner.

TWO MORE ALIBl LETTERS IN
ORPET CASE EXPECTED
The alibi letters written by Will
Orpet and presumed to be the states
strongest evidence against the uni
versity student, charged with the
murder of Marion Lambert, may be
increased to three, as Otto Peterson,
with whom Orpet left the matters to
be mailed, claims there we're that
number.
Only one of the abb letters is in
possession of States Atty Dady.
That is the one addressed to Marion
Lambert, which arrived at the Lake
Forest pOstOfice on Feb. 8, the day
she met her death, and was received
by her father the next morning.
Peterson, who was a Chum of Or
pets, says that on Feb. Z, two days
before Marian LambeTt's death, Or
pet handed him three letters which
he said he had written that after
noon.
Twant you to do me a favor, he
said. I am going on little visit to
Lake Forest. My mother and father
have forbidden me to come home and y
l don't want them to know that
have left college. want you to drop
these three letters into the postof1ce

dresses on the envelopes. I know
that one was addressed to Marion
Lambert. l remember that another
was addressed to some Orpet, but
whether to Mr.. or Mrs. OTpet l can
not say. do not know to whom the
third letter was addressed. If I read
the address of this letter l have for
gotten it."
Orpet's father took the stand again
at the opening of court today.

IN METAL MARKETS
IS PREDICTED BY AUTHORITIES

was hard to buy and was quoted at
% cents cash, New York, with
Lake ingot nominal at 81 IA cents,
also an advance. At present the
market is q%uieter with consumers
apparently well covered.
Sellers dominate the situation and
they are disinclined to make conces-
sions. Some sales are reported for
early 1917 delivery. Electrolytic for
last quarter is obtainable at &c to
&c 1-2. The rush to provide for
needs has brought the market back
to the high prices of last May.
The activity that characterized
the zinc market of the early days
of last week o o resulted in ex-
tensive buying on the part of for
eign and domestic brokers. brass
mills and perhaps second-hands.
The price advanced accordingly I'M
til prompt metal was quoted yes
terday at 9 "a cents, New York,
and 8 1-2 cents st. Louis, with last
quarter at about Ia cen per month
below these prices. Just now de-
mand has slackened and the mar
ket Is quieter but firm.
1t is thought that there is less
metal in second-hands, and that
producers are in a better sold-up
condition than when the last ad-
vance was manifested. A feature
of the weeks business has beer the
buying of large quantities of high
grade copper spelter, that has been
a drug on the market for some time.
The squirt. which was noted early
last week, developed into a heavy
demand from all quarters, and sales
are estimated by one broker to have
attained an aggregate of about
10000 tons last week. The buying
was for foreign and domestic con-
sumers, especially for prompt and
August delivery. The latter circum-
stance was due probably to the fact
that buyers stocks had been de-
eldedly depleted, necessitating their
entry into the market.

LARGE BODY OF
ORE IN PACKARD
HEAVY PRODUCTION OF Bull
LION IL BEING MADE
BY COMPANY

Shipments of precipitates from
the Nevada Packard mine for Aug
ust. three in number, we're valued
at $24,216.96. Returns from the
first two consignments sent out on
the 10th and Goth were s~S,39O.S2
and S7,426.44. The last shipment
has not yet been settled for, but
mill assays place a value on It of
$S.40O.
The Packard, under Superinten-
dent J. w. Wilkey, is making a fine
record of tonnage treated and the
low mine and mill costs insure a
handsome profit. Since steel balls
were put in the short tube mill the
tonnage treated has run as high as
1870 per day, varying according to
the hardness of the ore The yer
age for the first four days OF Sep
TENDER was ia tons from which
was extracted ~$4,630.15, with mill
loss of $345, an average recovery of
$3.50 per ton Mine, mill and de,
velopment costs at the Packard are
under "a per ton, showing a profit
at the present rate of 100000 a
month.
Ore for the mill is being extract
ed from the new contact orebody
which has been ct by raises 200
feet apart and at an extreme depth
of 165 feet. Raise EOS, the first
to cut the vein, was extended to
the surface and in ore of good
grade throughout. Raise 225, 200
feet nearer the portal of tunnel ID,
cut the ore IS feet deeper than
raise 205. The two raises have
been connected and a drift is be-
ing extended on the vein to the
north, in the direction Of tunnel
A, which cut the contact neal the
surface 500 feet north of raise 205.
The contact orebody makes on the
line of contact between lime-shale
which forms the hanging wall, AID
andesite, forming the foot-wall. The
vein filling is a hard, silicified rhyo-
lite which bears the appearance of
having been subjected to extreme
pressure.
The vein is 20 to 80 feet wide
and averages about SO per ton.
There is a h~igh-grade streak along
one wall which averages $40 per
ton. Operating costs afford a mar
gin of Sc per ton on SO ore and it
is the object of the management
to maintain that average Of mill
heads. The directors expect to
declare the first dividend in Novem-
Observation-Disclosures.

Man Acts Peculiarly

A traveller, driving a single rig,
stopped at the Tavern at the foot
Of Lakeview hill at Carson to water
his horse. He appeared to be in
a great hurry and also to avoid
attracting attention. Shortly after
the driver had left the proprietor
saw the rig beside the road, with
the horse unhitched. and on in
vestigation found the horse to be
in a pitiful state of exhaustion and
it is his opinion that it had been
driven continuously for "a hours.
The driver had evidently continued
OF foot after the horse had been
unable to go farther. The horse
was taken to the tavern and the
sheriff notified. 1t is supposed that
the man had committed a crime
and was fleeing from the scene.

D. WARD DIES
IN SAN FRANCISCO
SUCCUMBS TO PECULIAR DIS
EASE AFTER PROTRACTED
ILLNESS

Mrs. Dave Warl, wife of the vic :
president and general manager Of
the Palace Hardware company, died
last night at the home of her
mother in San Francisco of Hod-
gems disoa3e, an enlargement of the
glands, from which she has been
a sufferer for the past five years.
Mrs. Ward left Goldfeld in June and
until the time of the preparedness
parade bomb explosion in San Fran
cisco, in which he was killed, was
being treated with serums by DR..
Painter, who had been her physician
for four years, and under whose
treatment she recently showed con
siderable improvement.
She suffered a paralytic stroke
about a week ago and had been seri-
ously i'll since that time. Mrs.
Wards cast was unusual in medical
annals, there being but few other
like cases in the country. Tubercu-
losis symptoms are usually present
in cases of Hodgen's disease, but
were entirely absent in her case.
She was 80 years of age and had
been married about six years. Her
husband left this morning for San
Francisco.

WEDGE COPPtR'S
PROSPECT GOOD
PROPERTY is SHIPPING AND
DEVELOPING ON A BROAD
SCALE

The Wedge Copper Mining COM
pany at Luning has started work ON
the cross-cut tunnel, which is to
onnec with the portal of tunnel
No. 2. This tunnel is being driven
to develop a body of h~igh-grade
copper sulphide ore, the top CT
which was cut in tunnel No. 1, anil
will undercut tunnel No. 1, 200
feet, besides opening the vein 500
feet farther west. The distance to
the vein is approximately 100 feet.
This work will be done on COM
pany account and when the vein
is reached the work will be turned
over to contractors, the company
to supply air for the operations Of
the drills and furnish powder and
feet in length has been laid from
No. 1 tunnel where the compressor
is located and the machine drills
are now in use.
A 50-ton car of ore was shipped
last week, the product of rough sort
ing from the north drift in tunnel
No. l.. Mine assays indicate a cop
per content of 5 to 6 per cent. Tho
north drift has been driven 31S
feet in ore and is making depth at
the rate of six inches for every foot
driven. No attempt has been made
to stope and shipments probably will
be confined to the sorted ore taken
out in the course of development
work for some time to come.
The sulphide ore appears to come
in about on the level OF No. l
tunnel, sometimes making up three
or four feet above the floor. 1t IS
expected, therefore, that No. 2
tunnel will be in shipping ore when
the vein is cut, in which the COM
pany will ship steadily.
Development work has been
crowded at the Wedge since the
company was formed and the Wedge
camp is one of the most complete in
the Santa Fe district. Wagon roads
have been built, air and water pipe
laid, springs developed, air COM
pressor and engine installed and
several hundred feet of tunnels
driven.
Superintendent M. II. Walser re-
Gently developed a second spring of
water which at this dry season
of the year is flowing 500 gallons
a day. A pipe line is now being
laid to bring this water into the
main camp.-GaZette.

FIRE CHIEF MURPHY CALLS
ATTENTION TO ORDINANCE

Fire Chief Murphy states that
the automobile owners of Gold
field are disregardIng the ordin-
ance against leaving cars stand
ing on the streets within so feet
of a fire plug. At n recent fire an
automobile was standing directly IN
front of the plug near the north
west corner of Columbia and Ram
sey streets and had it been neces-
sary for the department to make a
connection from that plug for the
fire, the chief states that the fro
men would have been delayed, and
than an automobile left standing in
such a location may some time be
the cause of unnecessary property
loss. He says that the automobile
engine now used by the department
requires so feet on each side Of
a fire plug to approach it, make the
connection and get away from it in
fast time and has requested auto
owner not to stop their cars with
in the 50-foot limit.

GallOping Swede Still on Job

Hugo Rothstein, the galloping
Swede, who was in Goldfield some
months ago looking for a competi-
tor in a running race, is now loca-
ted at Round Mountain, where he
has recently made several long
runs. He is still unable to secure
a human being to run again him
and has arranged to compete with
a horse. The horse will be rid
den by an Indian and the race will
be for a distance of Is miles, five
laps around Round Mountain, near
the town of Round Mountain. Round
Mountain and Manhattan people are
willing to bet hat the Swede will
finish ahead of the horse. If he
is successful in his competition, it
is said, he will run against Grant
Miller at the next election and Il
he defeats Miller, will be matched
with a jack rabbit.
