Old Camp of TusCarora is to
Witness Revival of Activity

An item of interest to Elko or
more particularly TO T~uscarora, is
the appearance here of J. D. Hub
bard, f. M, who comes to construct
a modern milling plant at Tuscarora
for the Holden M. & NJ. company.
Mr.. Hubbard is a mining man
and construction engineer of wide
experience and is quite we'll known
in many parts of the mining field,
having operated in California, Ari-
iona, Nevada and abroad in Korea,
where he designed and built the
largest plant in the whole Orient, a
6OO-ton daily capacity milling and
cyaniding plant for the Chosen Min
ing company. Hubbard was nearly
six years in Korea altogether and
speaks the Korean language. He
was the recipient Of numerous dis
tinctions from the Japanese Off
Gals for his policy and example to
the Koreans.
The "old timers" in Elko and Tus-
carora will remember the famous
Grand Prize mine in Tuscorora in
1884. at which time John f. Dixon
was superintendent. Mr.. Dixon was
leaving shortly and the employees of
the Grand Prize mine and mill all
contributed and bought John Dixon
a splendid watch. a Leonville Swiss
movement, the best watch money
could buy at the time, and presented
it to him, suitably engraved. on
Christmas, 1884.
J.. d. Hubbard now has hat watch,
the ]. d. being the comouflage for
John Dixon.
Mr.. Dixon was a lifelong friend of
Hubbard. Sr.. who named his first

ELMER KING DEAD
AFTER BRIEF
ILLNESS
WE'LL KNOWN COUNTY OFFI-
CIAL DIES In LOCAL
HOSPITAL

County Commissioner Elmer King
died at midnight in the county hos
pital after having been there, hope
Iessly ill, since Sunday morning.
An operation was performed at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon in a last
endeavor to save his life, but vas
un~availing.
The commissioner was n of the
most highly esteemed public Off
Gals in the county and a host o.
friends have been a~nXiously watch
ing the battle with death that he
has been making at the hospital, al
though it has been known since he
was taken there that his case was
practically hopeless. To the men
who have known him in public
office and to the mining men who
have worked with him during his
long employment in various capaci-
ties in Coldfield mines, his death
comes as a distinct loss and express
sions of regret at the death of tn
commissioner are being heard
wherever men gather today.
Elmer King was A years of age
having been born June 20, 1873, in
the state of Pennsylvania. His
family moved to Missouri some
years later and from there he went
to Colorado, where he engaged in
mining.
He came to Nevada Is years ago,
going to Searchlight, where he be-
came superintendent of n of the
properties at that time being work
ed on a large scale. He followed
mining practically all his life and
was known among mining men as
a competent director of mining
operations in any position.
Commissioner Kings wife and
son Paul are now here and his othei
son, Harry, is on his way here from
Vallejo, Cal. His mother and ia
Their are expected to arrive Friday
from Missouri. The funeral will
be held Saturday afternoon, com
plete arrangements not yet having
been made.
Prominent local men this morn
ing started a movement, that since
has met with general reclamation
To have Governor Boyle appoin
Mrs. King to serve the %unexpired
term of short-term commissioner
to which Mr.. King was elected last
fall and there is no doubt that the
vacancy will be filled in this way,
as it appears to be the unanimous
opinion that a petition advocatin.
this should be sent to the governor.

PROSPECT IN SOUTH
SHOWS ~lEAO-s|tvtR
WELL KNOWN IN
TONOPAH

Harry Gregg, who is operating a
mining property 80 miles south of
Goldfield, near Death Valley, is ap-
%parently on the road to wealth, hav-
ing made n of the most promising
lead-silver discoveries recorded in
Esmeralda county in it's history. Mr..
Gregg, who is ~transacting business
in the city, stated yesterday that he
had opened a fine body of ore near
the surface on one of his claims,
and that values of 1920 a ton in
silver and lead were contained.
Mr.. Gregg says that he has ready
for shipment about 20 tons of ore, a
portion of which will return as high
as &c per cent lead, with silver val
ues in proportion, which would mean
about so a ton.
Arrangements have been made
with the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company whereby the product
will be treated at the company's
mill in Goldfield, the ore being de-
sirable. 1t becomes necessary to
make a haul of 20 miles to reach a
treatment center, but nevertheless
the product is of such richness that
it can be handled profitably.-Tono-
pah Times.

son after him. When John Dixon
died in San Francisco many years
ago he willed his watch to his name
sake.
Now, after many years. by the de-
cree of fate. back comes this same
watch to help perhaps in a second
upbuilding of Tuscarora, for Engi-
neer Hubbard holds relatively the
same position as did John Dixon.
1t is strange also that Hubbard
should have chosen the same pro-
fession as John Dixon, but mining
seems to run in the family, as Hub
bard's grandfather was e. p. Wilder
of Salt Lake City, for many years
United States mineral surveyor of
Utah, and former superintendent of
the Ophir mine at Virginia City.
Many of the "old timers" will re-
member him also.
The watch that Hubbard has in
his possession is too easily identified
to be of much value as "~hockable"
goods to any gentleman on his Cup
pers'' who might covet it's posses
sion.
1t would be a Hunnish act to try
to separate Hubbard and his watch
anyhow, for it would spoil the new
romance for Tuscarora. and without
the watch Engineer Hubbard might
TALL down on the job.
After the completion of the mill
for the Holden company Hubbard
expects to go to Burma, India. for
the Burma Mines, Ltd, but this will
be subject first to the requirements
of the Tuscarora properties.-Elko

Decision on
Fatal Accident
to Frank PeaSe

The public utilities commission on
Tuesday rendered a decision in the
matter of the accident on the premises
Of the Maine Central Railroad Com
pany at Gardiner June 90 last resulting
in the death of Frank Pease.
The decision is as follows:
Frank Pease, employed in the sec
ton crew of the Maine Central Rail-
road Company was hit by the. engine
of passenger train No. IL, eastbound
about 2.15 P. NJ, June %. 1917, and re-
ceived injuries from which death fol-
lowed almost instantly.
"Pease was riding easterly towards
Gardiner on tricycle. car, on the rail-
road track. and had just passed the
second curve east from South Gardi-
ner about one mile west of Gardiner,
when the accident occurred. The train
left South Gardiner two minutes late
and was proceeding about 40 miles an
hour when it rounded the curve. Pease,
about $50 feet ahead, then first came
within the range of vision OF the fire
man. who shouted to the engineer. The
latter threw his brakes into emergen-
cy, but he was unable to stop in sea-
SON.
"Pease was trying to remove his car
from the track when the engineer first
saw him. He had been a member of
the Maine Central section crews for
about Is years, two years in the Gar
diner section and IL years at Rich
mond. He had been attending to the
semaphore and switch lights three
weeks during the illness of the regular
man. He was familiar with his du-
ties and the conditions under which he
was working. Train No. II was a reg
ular train. 1t was his duty to look out
for all trains, and, particularly, to look
and listen before passing a curve. He
could not have, done this with suffi-
cient care, and his failure to do so
appears to have been the sole cause
of the accident.
There is no evidence of fault on the
part of the railroad company or of its
employees"
