JUDGE QUICKER OUT OF
RACE FOR SUPREME JUDGE

Judge e. A. Ducker, who announc-
his candidacy sometime ago for the
Democratic nomination for justice of
the supreme court of Nevada, has de-
cided to withdraw and in a statement
given TO the press has this to say
My reason for this action is that
the bereavement of my wife and my
SELL caused by the death of our
young daughter, makes it impossible
for me to think of being a candidate
for office.
The unqualified endorsement
which my candidacy has been given
by the party from which l sought the
nomination makes it difficult for me
to retire without great regret; but
this feeling is relieved by the thought
that the time is early yet for the Sc
lection OF candidate acceptable to
the people and creditable to the
bench and bar.
Il wish also to thank the press OF
the state for the very complimentary
mention of my candidacy, and the
public for the support offered me,
which in many instances has not
been bounded by party lines

Pr@ptGt0S Flock To Tungsten Camp Near Patterson Mt


Prospectors from White Pine coun-
ty, who have caught the tungsten
fever, drifted down into Lincoln
county recently and have establish
ed camp about four miles from the
Geyser ranch where, it is said, they
have found placer tungsten in what
appears to be commercial Quantity.
Numerous claims have been located
during the past week and people in
the northern end of the county have
become SO much excited that it has
been a difficult matter to keep help
on the ranches. All have become so
intensely worked up over mining
and tungsten mining in particular.
County Auditor Garrison, while
at Geyser last week went up onto
Patterson mountain and staked off
several claims, which, he says, have
some good surface showings of tung-
stensten. The Patterson district was
a producer of rich silver-lead ore
years ago when the white metal
was around dollar an ounce. Now
with prices of silver soaring again
the famous old camp is likely to
come back to it's own The finding of
tungsten ore there too, is bound to
give it new lease of life.
