Central received but Bessemer held
and jackson kicked Both teams were
fighting fiercely. The initial opening of
the Bessemer offensive was then uncov-
cred. With line shift and several men
running interference. Charley Scott, the
Bessemer idol, made gain after gain
around the Central ends until the ball
was carried to Centrafs 15-yard line.
Excellent tackling by Anderson at this
junction probably saved Central from de-
feat, for three straight times he tackled
Scott from behind for a loss. Central
gained the ball and kicked out.
THREATENS AGAIN
Bessemer started another procession to
the goal. Short forward passes together
with the end runs by Scott and Slater
worked the ball to the 2S-yard line,
where Anderson recovered tumble
Central again kicked the ball going in
play on Bessemer's 35-yard line. Time
was growing short and both elevens
were fighting harder Bessemer rushed
the ball back into Centraps territory,
where the game ended, the ball being
on the 16-yard line.
The great rivalry which existed be-
tween the teams was clearly exhibited by
the fight which was displayed. Neither
team outplayed the other and neither
team outfought their opponents. 1t was
clearly a case of where the score really
indicates the comparative strength of the
two teams.
Charley Scott was the bright star of
the game. This youngster made gain
after gain and was practically the entire
Bessemer team. Harrison and Snider
played the best defensive game for Bes-
semer. Central had no particular star.
All played well, but especially did Ander-
son, Rox and Balsam.
TITLE IN DOUBT
The failure of the contest to be a VIC
tory for either Central or Bessemer
leaves the championship of the state in
doubt Neither eleven has been defeated
The forward pass was not tried as much
as expected. Central tried the pass five
times and failed each time. Bessemer
was successful in three attempts out OF
six.

The contest was witnessed by a crowd
of approximately 1000 people. The teams
we're about evenly matched and both
fought with unprecedented fury until the
referees whistle ended the game shortly
after noon.
Central had frequent opportunities to
win the game, but the lack of punch
together with the plucky fight which
Bessemer offered, prevented a score The
entire Central offense came in the first
half, when they had an excellent chance
to score twice. In the second half, the
story was reversed. Bessemer had the
ball continually and the Central eleven
was on the defense throughout.
Centrals best chance to score came at
the end of the first period. Bessemer re-
ceived to start the game and after at
tempts to gain through the line or around
the end had failed. Central obtained the
ball in midfeld. By line plunges by
Jackson, Levy and Hahn, the ball was
carried to Bessemer's 6-yard line with
four downs to gain the goal jackson
made two through center and the period
ended.
BESSEMER HELD
Dorskey made two more through the
line and then lost three on a short end
run. jackson then failed to gain through
the line and Bessemer kicked out.
Central again threatened in the mid
die of the second period. After Besse-
mer had rushed the ball to midfeld, Cen
trail braced and held. Bessemer held and
Jackson kicked As yards for Central
Charley Scott fumbled the ball on his
7-yard line and Balsam recovered. The
ball was carried yards by Dorskey
and Jackson failed. Hahn failed and on
the fourth down a forward pass over the
goal line was incomplete, Bessemer get
ting the ball on the 2O-yard line.
The half ended after Bessemer had re-
turned the ball to midheld.
Between the halves the real feature
of the game occurred. The spectators
were thrilled by the antics of the rival
supporters of the two elevens, who were
in q Central majority. When officers
made an attempt to clear the field for
the second half, no less than six free
for-all fights started. One policeman was
chased off the field by Bessemer mob,
who claimed they were being unfairly
treated Several Central followers got in
a fight with another policeman.
RESERVES ARRIVE
riot call was sent in and soon two
automobiles of police arrived but not
until after the disturbance had been
quelled. Bloody noses were common,
while numerous spectators were put out
of the park. Finally Referee Counselman
cleared the field and the second half
started

ASK LEAVE TO AMEND


Attorney Allen also asked leave to
amend the motion for a new trial SO
that he will be able to attack the form
in which the verdict of guilty was rem
dered. The verdict read guilty of muir
der as charged in the indictment" and
the indictment consisted of two counts,
the first charging murder by shooting
and the second charging murder by
beating over the head with blunt in
strument and also charged in the second
count that Charles M Nails was CO.
defendant.
Judge Allen recalled that Judge Miller
in his charge to the jury, told them tc
disregard the second count and on OBJ
lection of the defendant, withdrew that
portion of the charge. The jury. he said
did not disregard the second count In Its
verdict.
Attorney Allen claimed also that Solici-
tor Thompson, in his closing argument to
the jury, asked them to seek divine guild
ance and get down on their knees and
pray over the case before finding YER
dict He claimed this to be a violation OF
the rules. Attorney Allen also charged
that while the jurors were in their room
at the hotel one of them communicated
with a party outside the room over a
telephone.

MCCORMICK SAYS
NEVADA BOOMING
NEW MINES AND NEW LANDS
BEING OPENED FOR DE-
VELOPMENT

Z. o. Mccormick, vice president
of the Southern Pacific system, after
an afternoon and a night in Gold
field, left in his private a this
morning for the north. With hin,
were r. j. Clancy, assistant to the
general manager; j. NJ. Fulton, as
sistant general freight and passen-
ger agent, and w. G. Wilson, trav-
cling freight and passenger agent.
Mr.. Mccormick, in a statement to
the Tribune, said he had found con
ditions in Goldfield highly encour
aging and complimented the camp
on the optimism and confidence
maintained by those engaged in
business and development work
here, which he believed was fully
justified from the highly gratifying
volume of business the lines of his
company were getting from here.
He was enthusiastic over the
large number of important enter
prises in a mining and agricultural
way in progress throughout those
parts of the state which he had Wis
tied. War conditions had tire,
mendously stimulated the mining
industry and there were more mel
in the hills than he had ever
known to be there. Numerous pros
poets we're being examined by re-
sponsible and capable operating con-
Germs with the prospect that at
least some of these will be extern
sively developed.
In the northern part of the state
the agricultural and livestock in
terests had been greatly stimulated.
large acreages were being opened
up to cultivation and lands were
being examined that had hitherto
failed to attract attention.
Speaking of business conditions
generally, Mr.. Mccormick said he
believed about every business man
was feeling happy, and the timidity
that had held him back a year or
two ago had been d~issipated by the
tremendous business rush of recent
months.

TUNGSTEN DEPOSITS in NEVADA
PROMISE NOTABLE PRODUCTION

With the unprecedented demand
that has been created for metal OF
the tungsten class sincs the begin
ing of the European war, the pro-
duction of that metal has become a
great industry in Nevada, especially
in Elko, Humboldt, Mineral, Nye
and Clark counties, and it is not
without the range of possibilities
that in value the present year it
will exceed a million dollars.
John H. Dunn, one of the trav-
cling auditors of the industrial in
surance commission, was in Car
son a few days ago and stated to
the Appeal that his duties the past
few weeks have taken him through
the three last-named counties and
everywhere tungsten or it's core

duced. At Spanish Springs, in Nye

RECOVER TUNGSTEN
BY PLACER MINING
WILL SLUICE GROUND FOR
~VALUABLE METAL

Jack Raymond, who has been
mining at Round Mountain for sew
eral years and who declares that
he has the prettiest little gold
mine in the state" now announces
that he and his partners, Neville
Martin and William Horner, are get
ing ready to start sluicing opera
tions on their group of Is tungsten
claims located between S%hoshone
and jefferson canyons.
Mr.. Raymond states that tests
made of their ores show 1T to run
five to six pounds of tungsten to
the ton. They are taking out dirt
from bedrock and will begin sluicing
it the same as placer gold is sluiced.
They have their sluices rugged up
for this purpose. The distance to
bedrock is but 25 feet, and the
tungsten-bearing dirt, according to
Mr.. Raymond. will wash readily.
Frank Gendron, Chester Perrine
and James Healey are also operating
tungsten placer mines in Jefferson
and Davenport canyons and have
several men at work. Their showings
are excellent.
In the opinion of Mr.. Raymond
Round Mountain will enjoy a period
of prosperity this year the like OF
which the camp has not experienced
for several years. There are sew
eral anyon above Round Mountain
where prospecting will be done this
spring, and it is believed that some
good mines. especially silver and
tungsten, will be found.
Round Mountain, like its sister
camp, Manhattan. has not been max

wards the west and in future o.
erations on levels which will be
projected at deeper points on the
vein the same high vnIues will an
doubtedly be disclosed further 10
the west accordingly as the vein
rakes. This far a depth of 600 feet
o. backs has been proved on the
vein, since it lies at rather a flat
angle and greater possibilities ex-
isI for the demonstration of an
enormous additional tonnage below
the 1540-foot point; while with
enormous acreage owned by the
company along the strike of the
vein the western limit of the ore
body is one of great speculative
possibilities.
Of late all the reports have been
giving special prominence to the
developments in the Murray vein,
yet it must not be forgotten that
other splendid vein systems have
been proved to the northward of the
Murray vein. In the Merger ground,
which was taken owe last year by
the Extension company, two known
veins exist, called the Merger and
North Merger veins. Both these
Lodges are noted for their rich

overshadowed by the disclosures un-
covered by the developments on the

Since the strike IN the Rescue
Eula was first made, five lots Of
ore have BEEN shipped to the West
End mill. The W shipments last
week totaled SO tons, and the
Il rec shipments made this week
amounted in all to 131 tons. 1t IS
a feature of the report that since
the first lot was shipped there has
been a constant increase in the
value of the returns from the ore.
The net returns from the fourth
lot, which amounted to 46 tons, were
more than sufficient to pay the
operating expenses of the company
for the month of March. and it is
safe to predict that q fine prof.
will result from March operations.

Mining for other metals, MIR. Dunn
says is increasing everywhere he
visited and some wonderfully good
results are being obtained. Particu-
larly so does this apply to Mineral
county, which this year is going to
make a banner production. In and
about Luning, where operations
ceased because of untoward condi-
tions over a year ago, great activity
is becoming manifest and in three
months the red metal will be rolling
out. Recently the county commits
sioners and a number of the mine
owners got together and agreed to
spend $4,000 or $4,000 in opening
the roads to points neal the mines
so that the miners could get their
ores to the railroad, and this work
has already started. Mr.. Dunn pre-
diets that 400 men will be working
in the district within the mex 80
