OPENS HIGH GRADE
ORE AT FA|RWEW
SEVEN TROUGHS MINING COM
PANY FINDS ORE AT
DEPTH

Important work is progressing at
the Seven Troughs Mining company's
Fairview property, at Vernon, in the
Seven Troughs district, according to
reports from the company's offices
here this week.
Miners are working on three faces
on the 7O0-foot level and are drift
ing, pushing up a raise and sinking
a winze below the level, at the same
time. AS many men as can be
worked on the property to the best
advantage at this stage are now en-
ployed.
High grade which has made the
Seven Troughs district famous, is
now being taken out of stope No. l,
in the 60O-foot winze. From 10 to
90 tons of milling ore are being
taken out daily in addition to good
quantities of shipping ore, and high
grade of great value.
AS soon as the mine is opened up
enough to work more men the man.
agement expects to increase the
size of the crew and advance the
amount of work in the mine.
Claiming that the present equip
ment is inadequate to the maximum
efficiency in conducting mining OPP
erations, it was announced that ar
rangements were pending to secure
heavier machinery to work the mine
to greater depth.
With the new equipment develop
ment work will be possible at a
more rapid Observation-Disclosures.

FINE ORE FROM NEW DOMINION

A sample of ore from the New Do
minion claim, which is situated
about II miles north of Gina on the
Ivanpah range, was brought into
Goodsprings by j. p. Murray. The
specimen weighed owe 100 pound
and was almost a pure copper sui
phide. 1t will assay in the n%eighbor-
hood of "a per cent sulphur and will
be a valuable product for use in the
new Boss mill, a certain percentage
of sulphide ores being necessary to
make up the roasting charge for the
furnace in their chloridizing process.
The New Dominion is working
steadily and taking out many car
loads of copper ore monthly, which
is being hauled to Gina and shipped
from that point. The company that
owns the New Dominion purchased
the property from j. F. Mars and
is headed by c. B. Stewart of Salt
Lake City. The mine is in charge of
Matt Reese.-Goodsprings Gazette.

REASON FOR ODD
SERMON SUBJECT
HOW WOMAN ENTERED
WITHOUT KNOWING 1T Is
EXPLAINED

The Presbyterian church notice
published in Saturdays issue OF the
Tribune contained the sermon sub
ject, Exalted to Heaven. She e
not know it yet" Since its publica-
ton the question has been repeated
Il asked who she" was and how II
came that she was exalted to heaven,
apparently some time ago, and rs
still unaware of the fact.
Rev. Mr.. Thomson, pastor OF the
Presbyterian church, and Rev. Mr.
Price, pastor of the Methodist
church, last week agreed that they
should exchange pulpits yesterday.
The change was to be effected with
out the knowledge OF anyone, and
particularly without the knowledge
of Mrs. Price, from whom the two
pastors said they could keep a So
cret.
On Saturday morning the two
pastors were in the front room of
Mr.. Prices residence. Mrs.
Price was in a real room. Mr..
Price was writing his sermon sub
jects for publication by Mr..
Thomson under the Presbyterian
church head. The two men were
talking while Mr.. Price was
writing, and after he had written the
subject for the morning sermon,
Exalted to Heaven" it occurred to
him that Mr.. Thomson might
say something hat would enlighten
Mrs. Price as to their plans, so he
wrote, "She does rot know it yet"
meaning that Mrs. Price was still
unaware that they were going to x
change pulpits.
The meaning was completely miss
ed by Mr.. Thomson, who later
re-wrote on his typewriter what
Mr.. Price had written in long
hand and included in the sermon
subject the words, "She does not
know it yet"

OLD CASE Is Il

The case of S. F. Fitchett against
the Barnes Coal Mining company,
which was tried some months ago in
the district court before Judge
Walsh and a jury and which is now
in the supreme court on an appeal
by the defendant, has been settled
by compromise for $3.50. The trial
jury awarded Fitchett $405.25 out
of a total of $7SS.S5 asked for.
Fitchett claimed the company broke
a contract he had to sink a shaft on
it's property at Coaldale by failing to
furnish timber as stipulated in the
contract.

KIDS STILL ON RAMPAGE

Late yesterday afternoon boys
threw a stone through a pane of
glass in the real door of O'Daniel's
barber shop on Main street. The
names of the three boys said to have
been in the gang were furnished the
authorities by O'Daniel. They were
not small boys, and if they are found
to be of such age that legal pro-
ceedings can De brought against
them, and a case made out, it is
thought that such steps will be taken
to end youthful bvigandage in Gold
field.
The situation is reported as be-
coming serious, rs not only do the
boys do property damage, but of late
they have been aiming their missiles
at pedestrians. Heretofore the au-
thorities have maintained that it is
impossible to put an end to such
actions on account of influences
that are brought to bear when the
arrests are made, but Chief Of Police
Morrison says that if he is able to
get the goods on n of the boys
nothing will save him.
The chief has of late also been en-
deaVoring to keep boys on bicycles
off the sidewalks and has asked that
their attention be called to the fact
that there is an ordinance against
riding on the sidewalks.

SHOTS FIRED n
MAIN ST. FIGHT
ARRESTS FOLLOW MIX-UP IN
WHICH NO ONE is
HURT

A mix-up between three Austrians
on Saturday night on Main street
created considerable excitement as
the show crowd was leaving the
Exchange theater. Three shots were
fired in the melee, none of which
took effect. One of the participants
claims that he was attacked by the
other two and that he fired the
shots in the air to scare his
assailants.
The man who claims he was the
victim of the onslaught of the men
is Tom Kulicha, an old resident of
Goldfield and Tonopah. He says
that he was watching a card game
in the Extension grocery, when n
Of the men, Mike Repovich, entered
the store and without p~rovocation
pushed him against the players AID
struck him, cutting his face.
He says that he demonstrated and
that the proprietor of the grocery
told him to pay no attention to
Repovich, saying that he was crazy.
He says that he then left the gro
Gerry store and walked south on
Main street to the front of the
Mohawk cigar store, where he was
again attacked from the rear by
Repovich and his companion, a man
named I~vanovich, who had been
standing outside the grocery, the
latter hitting him on the back of the
head with his fist.
According to Kulicha, the men
closed upon him and he was forced
to his knees. He says that, strug-
Cling to his feet again, he drew the
gun, a 38-caliber Colt, which he
afterward stated he vas taking
home from the grocery, where he
had been keeping it, and fired it
three times in the air. That he was
not too sure where he was firing is
evidenced by the fact that n of
the shots left a powder mark on
his left hand.
Kulicha surrendered the gun and
the trio were taken to the court
house, where charges of assault
were lodged against Repovich and
Ivanovich. They were unable to fur
nish 500 bail each and were
locked up. When searched, no dan
gerous implements of any descrip-
ton were found on them.
In the struggle Repovich's hand
was torn. He a y that Kulicha bit
him, but the latter claims that the
injury was caused by the gun, which
he says he pressed into Repovich's
flesh with sufficient force to cut
him.
Ivanovich is an ordinary-looking
man, but in Repovich the authori-
ties think they have one of the
most dangerous characters landed in
Jail in some time. Kulicha states
that Repovich is wanted in Los
Angeles for assaulting a policeman
and that $500 reward is offered for
his capture.

COMSTOCK AT
DEEP LEVELS

The feature of the COmstock min
ing news this week is the resump-
ton of operations by the Mexican
mill after a shut down of several
months, during which time it has
been placed in first class condition.
The mill is running on ore from
the surface dump, which has &C
cumulated during the shut down.
Underground at the %northend, de-
velopment work continues with the
usual good progress being made,
and favorable conditions prevailing.
Further excellent Roadway is being
made at the joint Mexican and
Ophir Wine, where the sinking
pumps are lowering the water to
the 1900 level. The pumps have
been taking the water out at the
rate of 1000 gallons per minute for
the past few days and the water is
down to the top of the caps of the
'290O station. The pumps are pull
Eng the water off the level, which
accounts for the increased amount
raised. The muck, etc, is being
1aken out of this Wine, and in the
very near future men will be on the
29OO level for the first time in over
thirty years.
The Union and Mexican com
panies are continuing to repair the
'23OO level and track has now been
laid $50 feet in the south drift in
Mexican ground from the north
boundary line. On the $500 level.
the Union is taking out some ore
from stope No. IL, located to the
east of No. 2 stope, which is on a
new vein. Some tonnage is also
being secured from No. 10 stope.
level, work is being carried on in
the south drift from the east cross
cut and some ore is also being Sc
cured at this point. On the 200
level a decrease is noted in the
flow of water in the west crosscut
from the Union and Sierra Nevada
winze, which is being repaired back
to the shaft.
The Sierra Nevada is working to
the north on the 2400 level to reach
the top of the old 2400-25O0 Wine
and on the $500 is %reopening the
old main north drift. On the $500
level, the north drift on the vein
is being advanced in the quartz
formation.
There is no change in the Ophir
200 level south drift, and as in
Con. Virginia on this level, the vein
continues strong and wide, but with
little change in values. Andes is
saving ore from the 350-foot level
which is being milled at the Kin
kead mill.
At the Combination shaft, repairs
are being continued and the electric
cable has been installed to the Sutro
tunnel level. Repairs are being
made at this level, and started
below.

The admiralty staff in its review of
the fighting says that the Russia

superiority Of the Germans The state-
ment reads:
During Oct q important enemv
naval forces. together with TRANSPORTS
were sighted by our outposts in the
Gulf of Riga. In Moon sound enemy
seems to be clearing the wafer Of
distractions which we laid down.
There was no naval action during the
DAY, but enemy submarines were dis
covered in the Gulf of Finland. AS the
naval operations in the Baltic Isles
have now ended, It is possible TO So
view them. The task Of our fleet In
this region, with the reorganized DC
sition Of Moon sound as a base. is to
prevent enemy attempts to seize the
Gulf Of Riga and Moon sound. So
long as the German fleet only en-
ployed in such an operation elements
OF minor Importance, as in 1915, name
" two dreadnoughts, our naval forces
could cope with them
In 1915, although our position In
Moon sound was organized Incomplete
~, we repulsed successfully all attacks
and the enemy during three days
possession Of the Gulf Of Riga suffered
losses so grave that he was obliged
70 depart. A similar attempt in 1916
with unimportant forces failed COM
pletely.
In the recent operations the enemy
employed the major part of his feet
and his overwhelming superiority en-
abled him to carry out debarkation
rapidly and successfully. Our fleet
only was able to do its best to under
mine these efforts and infiict maxi
mum losses. With this object we de-
livered a series of attacks using all the
naval resources in our possession.
AS a result Of these operations the
enemy lost through mines, submarine
attacks and artillery fire, two dread
noughts, one cruiser, II torpedo boats
one transport and numerous mine
