CASH BOY LIFTING
ORE OF FINE GRADE
TWO VEINS IN WiNzE SEEM TO
BE APPROACHING A
JUNcTURE

A very notable exposure of ore Is
to be seen in the Cash Boy mine at
present. II was found nearly 1900
feet in depth in winze from the
1850 level. The discovery was made
a number of months ago, but only
one carload Of ore could be extracted
before the water line. This ore
netted better than $40 a ton.
The deepening of the Victor shaft
caused the water to decline in the
Cash Boy and now extraction Of ore
has been resumed There are two
shoots of ore in the winze, one OF
which is small, but the other is from
four to six feet in width. Their
dip indicates that they will come
together at little greater depth
when, from the history OF similar
conditions in the district, they should
make into a large body Of ore
The grade of ore that is being
lifted at present is assurance, in
the opinion of officials of the com
pany, that no further assessments
need be levied. While water pre-
vents ore extraction the company
prosecuted extensive development
work with strong probabilities tha
pay ore will be found in other por
tons of the estate.

Arrangements have been perfected,

a Halifax pilot arrived here in time

tory demands were about to be made
for freeing them. The president
had approved the note, but II official
confirmation of Germany's reported
action is not received, it is probable
that the note will be dispatched. 1t

CUBAN REBELS ARE
STEADILY GROWING

I =
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. l6.-
Failure to receive from Cuba reports
showing marked growth in the LIB
eral rebellion caused administration
officials to regard the situation
there with less apprehension. Minis
ter Consoles reports confirm earlier
unofficial dispatches telling of the
dispersal Of various rebel bands.
They also told, however, of the oc-
cupatlon of Santiago by General
Fernandez, commanding more than
regiment of regular troops. who
Joined him in revolt
Satisfaction is displayed at the
state department over information
that so far the rebels have destroyed
no property. 1t became evident to
day that the United States will make
! no move in Cuban affairs until they
are more sharply defined by develop
ments.

The clothing had been torn from

Search had been kept up contin-

was one of the first to volunteer
his services. Others then joined the
hunt.
Mrs. Andrew Peterson is in a
critical condition following receipt
of the news. She is about to become
a mother and it is feared she cannot
live. Petersen left seven children.
Mrs. Jensen, whose husband was
killed, tainted when she heard the
news. Physicians are caring for

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Steamships
flying the flags of neutral countries
probably will resume their regular
sailings after plans to substitute
Halifax for Kirkwall as port of
call for examination can be arranged
with the British authorities. Nego-
tiations to this end are virtually
complete.
That the British regard the change
with favor was indicated by the an
nouncement that the Holland-Ameri-
can line steamship Ryndam would
sail for Rotterdam via Halifax, and
that passengers were being booked
for the possible sailing early next
week of the steamship Noordam, via
the same route. The Ryndam re-
turned here Wednesday after having
proceeded to within a short distance
of the new German submarine zone
and then turned back.
The Swedish-American line agents

CARSON CITY, Feb. 16.- Three
new bills introduced yesterday are
scheduled to precipitate some OF the
chief contests with which the present

sion. another Booher's act repeating
the law under which betting on
horse races is conducted and Great
ing the state railway commission,
and the third is direct primary law
Of which Speaker Luce is the au-
thor.
The primary law is practically a
copy of the 1913 primary act, the
only material change being to reduce
the cost OF filing candidates certi-
ficates. 1t was referred to the COM
mittee on elections in the assembly
and that committee also has under
consideration the Huskey primary
election law, received yesterday from
the senate. Speaker Luce said yes
terday that his bill will have the
backing of the element opposed to
the provisions of the Huskey bill
which places county and township
officers in the non-partisan class.
The bill repeating the state rae
ing commission and pari mutuel bet
ting law was referred to the com
mittee on education in the assembly
Fulmer's act amending the Law

present law. F'ulmer's bill provides
that the two associate commission
ers shall receive salaries of SIS per
day while engaged in the actual work
of the commission. The salary OF
the chief commissioner is fixed at
$4,000 per year, reduction of $1,000.
The new bill also carries a provis-
ion that none of the members of the
commission shall travel outside the
state on official business without
the consent of the state board of
examiners.
Tannahilrs bill providing that
mining companies shall equip all
cages used in vertical shafts with
safety platforms for the protection
of workmen was referred to the
mines and mining committee in the
assembly yesterday. Evans motion
to reconsider the vote was carried.
Evans explained that through an
oversight no nme had been given
operators to comply with the proyis-
ions Of the act.
Evans of Esmeralda. introduced a
bill yesterday amending the act rel.
ative to town governments. II con.
fers on the county commissioners
