COLUMBIA WOMAN
TAKES CARBOL|C
MRS. CHRIS HANSEN FAILS IN
ATTEMPT TO TAKE HER
LIFE

Mrs. Chris Hansen, wife of an en-
ploye OF the Consolidated mill, this
morning attempted suicide by taking
earbolic acid at her home in Column
bia. Her life was saved by DR.. Tur-
ner, who reached the house but 4
short time after the woman had TAX
en- the poison. She is now at St.
Mary's hospital, where she is said to
be put of danger. Her mouth and
throat were badly burned.
The Hansens have two children
and Mrs. Hansen's mother lives with
them. Her mother discovered that
size had taken the acid. None of the
family can give any rea9on for the
act, but the attempt at suicide is
thought to have been due to despond-
ency caused by a long illness. When
Hansen left the house this morning
for work he says that his wife was
in good spirits and he had no idea
she was contemplating taking her
life.

MILL WILL SOON
Be IN OPERATION
SOME DELAY Is OCCASIONED ON
ACCOUNT STORMY
WEATHER

The Ross mill, the completion of
which, and it's consequent handling
of the copper, gold, silver, platinum
and palladium ores of the mine, and
which the investing public who have
invested heavily upon the represen-
tation of the values in sight in the
mine, are keenly watching, has been
delayed on account of the freezing
weather of the past two weeks.
1t was anticipated that the mill
would be completed by January 18th,
and Manager o. ]. Fisk had all the
machinery on the ground and fully
expected that he would get all con-
struction work finished by that time.
Concrete enters very largely in the
construction of this mill, and good
weather is requisite for the proper
setting of the concrete for the foun-
dalton of the machinery and engines.
The weather is now moderating and
Mr.. Fisk states that with continued
good weather the plant will be in op-
Grafton soon.
The sampling works at Jean is
working under similar conditions.
The handling of the heavy machinery
iii the cold weather has been a
drawback to the completion of this
plant. Everything is on the ground
ready for installation, the great
platform scales for the weighing OF
railroad cars loaded with ore, have
been finished and the adjustment
perfected. The platform at the sam
pier is loaded with ore waiting for
treatment and shipment. Many ship
pers are holding back their product
for the completion of the works.

Company Denies Delinquency

J. S. Austin, president of the
Tonopah Mining company of Ne
vada, has forwarded from the Phila-
delphia office of the company to the
Tonopah office a statement of the
company's position in regard to the
report of the auditors of the Nye
county grand jury wherein the
auditors allege that the company is
in arrears for bullion taxes. The
statement says in part: "Our ore
was sold for as high a price rs
could be obtained from any custom
mill and our bullion taxes were
paid on the product of the mine
valued on that basis. No bullion
tax was ever paid by custom mills
and we claimed that the same rule
should apply to us. We r pre-
pared to defend this position. We
resent any implication of fraud. as
all our books and accounts have
been examined by public officials
whenever they desired to do So"

son are registered at the Goldfield

THOMPSON SHELTER
WILL BLOW IN SOON
ORE REDUCTION WILL START
WITHIN THREE
WEEKS

Word was received in Reno this
morning that cars of coke for
Thompson and Wabuska passed
through Ogden. The Thompson smell
ter has had a huge quantity of ore
one hand and some coke but not
enough of the latter to blow the
smelter.
With the announcement this
morning of the coke now on the
way it is thought that in three weeks
time, there will be a sufficient guam
tity to blow in the smelter. 1t is
understood that the company will
o begin work until it has from
$50 to 200 carloads of coke on hand
and officials of the Southern Pacific
announced this morning that they
had been working for six weeks to
get a sufficient quantity of fuel for
the smelter and it now seems pro-
bable that enough will have been
obtained for the smelter to blow
in within three weeks time.
Ninety racked ears have been at
ogden for some time and eastern
roads have now taken many of
these and promise that they will
lie used only for carrying coke and
coal which is so sorely needed by
the Thompson smelter.-Reno Gaz-
cite.

Sheepmen Will Meet

A meeting of sheepmen holding
grazing permits in the Humboldt
forest in northern Elko county has
been called. The purpose of the
meeting is to organize an associa-
ton including only sheepmen using
this division of the Humboldt. The
cattlemen of that section are al
ready well organized and in a posi-
ton to protect their interests. The
sheepmen have at present no or
ganization to protect their interests
in forest service matters that are
constantly arising.

LEASES RECEIVE GOOD
SUM FOR PRIVILEGES

Another lease was sold this week
the purchase price, we understand
being $500. George Green and Mr..
Thornbury took over the lease Of
f. E. Simmons, J. F. Laughlin and
d. V. Shively on the Taft, the pro-
perty of Geo. F. Thompson and B.

q few days work uncovered a body
of shipping ore nine feet in width.

MEETS DEATH IN
GOLOF|E[O MINE
CAUSE OF DEATH OF MINER HAS
NOT BEEN DETER
MINED

Oscar Anderson, an employee of the
Silver Pick Consolidated Mines COM
pany, died instantly at > o'clock this
morning on the sixth or SO0-foot
level of the property. The cause of
his death has not been determined
and will not be known until an au-
topsy is performed.
Anderson and his working partner
we're prepared to shoot a round of
holes on the 100. or bottom level
and had wires connected with a
switch on the sixth level, used in fir
ing. His partner was about to put
in the switch when Anderson walked
toward the shaft. yelled and dropped
dead. At the place where he
dropped are two wires. each carry
ing 220 volts, and insulated. Wheth-
er he touched one OF the wires and
received a shock through the insula-
ton as his partner put in the switch,
or dropped dead from heart trouble,
is not known.
DR.. Turner was called and vent
down the shaft to Anderson. He
worked over him for an hour and a
half, endeavoring to resuscitate him.
Anderson had been in Goldfield
for about five years, having worked
in different properties and had the
reputation of being one of the most
competent miners in the district. He
was a young man, noted for his pow
erful build and strength, and was
generally known for his unfailinS
good nature.
He was unmarried and has a
brother and married sister residing
in Los Angeles.

SCORE ONE
FOR SILVER
MEXICAN MONEY COMES INTO
PROMINENCE THROUGH
SHORTAGE

JUAREZ, Feb. 13.-American
money is taking the place of Mexi-
can silver money in northern Mexico
because of the high price of silver
bullion.
Mexican silver pesos have been
selling for so cents, American
money, each in Chihuahua City and
the interior of the state. The silver
contained in these coins is worth
IS eents, American money, in FL
Paso. Because of this many money
changers have been doing profitable
business by buying the coins in the
interior of the state, taking them
to Ell Paso and selling them for the
silver contained in them, making
eight cents on each coin. When
100000 pesos are brought over, as
was done recently, the profit to the
dealer is large.
To avoid the shipment of these
silver coins out of the country, Cen
eral Carranza has issued a decree
making it an offense against the
government to export silver coins.
This has tended to stop the flow of
silver, but much continues to be
brought over hidden in merchandise
and ore shipments. Women are
Inspected by Mexican customs Off
GERS at the international bridge for
hidden silver coins.
AS a result Of the demand for
silver coins on the American side,
these coins, especially the peso or
dollar coin, have almost disappeared
from circulation and American
money is being substituted. Re-
Gently when General Francisco Villa
paid his troops at Chihuahua City
the entire payroll was issued in
American money.

Grafton in the deal consummated
the past week wherein l.. r. Ec-
eles of OGDEN, and associates, took
over control of the old Rye Patch
mine in Humboldt county, Nevada,
and two adjoining properties.
.Lorin Hall of Salt Lake City,
who found the Paloma mine in Bea-
yer county. together with Messrs.
Ray and Greenwood of Salt Lake
City, was instrumental in the con
summation of this deal. Mr.. fall
was president of the Silver Bell and
Alpha.
One of the new directors said
yesterday relative to the deal and
the property:
with ample funds available, it
is believed that the famous old
mine will be rediscovered and be-
come one of the greatest silver
mine in the state of Nevada. Elec-
trio power will likely be used both
for the proposed new mill and COM
pressors, and this will necessitate
constructing a power line a dis
lance of eight miles. The proper
ties are located three and a half
miles east from Rye Patch station
on the main line of the railroad.
There is ample water on the ground
for milling purposes"
The new company is capitalized
at one million shares of one dol
lar par value. 1t was organized for
the purpose of acquiring the Silver
Bell and Alpha patented claims
and all of the claims formerly own
ed by the Prudential Mining COM
pany, together with the holdings of
the Silver Bell and Alpha CONSOLE

primary election bill was reported
favorably by the senate judiciary
committee. The question will be
made a special order tomorrow after
noon.
The assembly judiciary committee
reported u~nfavorably the resolution
asking Nevada congressman to sup
port the suffrage amendment.
The state press association yester-
day elected V. l.. Ricketts,, presi-
dent George Russell, vice president;
Vail Pittman, secretary; George An
derson, treasurer. T. d. Vandervort,
w. w. Booth, E. NJ. Steninger were
selected as members of the executive
committee. The next meeting will
be at Winnemucca in September.
Considerable surprise was ex-
pressed at the action of the senate
yesterday in passing without a dis
senting vote the bill establishing an
S-hour day for ONE employees in
certain branches of labor. 1t was
expected and freely predicted that
there would be considerable OPPOSE
ton to the measure, but 1t came out
of the committee on labor with a
favorable report and not a word was
raised against it on the floor of the
senate.
Williams gambling bill will hold
the boards in the assembly this after
moor 1t has been made a special

The bill came out of the judiciary
committee with an u~nfavOrable re-
port last week. The measure is
identical with the one circulated as
an initiative petition and which fall
ed to get the required number of sig
natures.
The general inclination among
members of the assembly seems to
he to kill the present measure and
introduce another bill on the ques-
tion later in the session.
A delegation from Esmeralda
county conferred with Governor
Boyle and the highway committee
of the assembly yesterday and voiced
opposition to the Alderman highway
bill in it's present form.
The GoIdfield delegation is OPP
posed to the direct taxation provis-
ions of both highway bills now be-
fore the committee. 1t was repre-
scented that the people of Esmeralda
county favor a bond issue of 1,0O0,-
600. instead of the method of raising
the money required to construct
highways by a state or county tax.
The assembly committee on labor
will meet this afternoon to consider
proposed amendments to the indus

port a comprehensive measure con
tanning all proposed changes in the

by both houses yesterday without the
usual flow of oratory. In the as

was contained an account from the
pen of Charles Dana of how Lincoln
