COPPER CANYON WILL
MAKE HEAVY OUTPUT
INCREASED PRODUCTION PRO-
Missed FROM WELL KNOWN
PROPERTY

Bigger production is at hand
from the property of the Copper
Canyon Mining company.
A third shift was put on in the
workings from the main shaft the
first of the month.
A new engine has been installed
and shafting set for pumps which
will unwater the lower levels, en-
aiding them to be worked.
This increase in operations will
add between ten and fifteen tons in
the daily production in the opinion
of Chas. Johnson, who has charge
in the absence of F.. Sommer Sch
midi.
On the road from the mine to
Dillon siding on the Nevada Cen
trail there will soon be added three
or four horse outfits to increase
the haulage now being done by a
caterpillar tractor. - Battle Noun

SOLDIER SHOT
WILL RECOVER
tai OF TUNNEL ON WEST
ERN PACIFIC

The Reno Evening Gazette of FRI
day contains a complete accoun of
the shooting of Corporal t. NJ. Muir
ply, who was wounded while guard
ing the Tonka tunnel on the West
ern Pacific, II miles from Elko. The
article follows:
Corporal T. NJ. Murphy, of the
guards stationed at Tonka tunnel or
the Western Pacific, IL miles west
of Elko, was shot three times by an
unknown assailant about midnight
last night.
He had entered the east portal
of the tunnel with five guards and
was half way in when the assailant
opened fire. The tunnel is $500
feet long.
Five shots were fired, two hitting
Murphy's left leg several inches
above the knee. Another shot hit
the right leg near the knee joint.
The bullets were of a small caliber,
evidently from a 20 rifle, and all
lodged in the legs.
Murphy was brought to Elko on a
freight train and is in a hospital.
Lieutenant Wier, in charge of the
guards at the tunnel, reported that
119 sticks of dynamite were found
two days ago on top of the tunnel
near the portal in a crevice. The
fuse was attached. and it had evil
IDENTIFY been touched off but had
snuffed out when it had burned half
way.
The sheriff and other officials are
now at the scene. The assailant is
believed to be in the tunnel, both
ends of which have been con-
stantly guarded.
Sheriff Harris returned from Ton
ka to Elko at 1870 o'clock this aft
ernoon after making a thorough
search in the tunnel twice. He fail
ed to find the man who fired Il
shots.
THE national guardsmen," Sheriff
Harris said, did not e to be in
clined to talk and l was unable to
a connected story from them"

EFFORTS
INDEED LAUDABLE
YOUNG GOLDFIELDITE MAKES
ATTEMPT TO SERVE
COUNTRY

The spirit of 20 was aroused yes
terday morning in the heart of a
Goldfield youth. He heard the call
of his country and it may be said
to his great credit that he answered
it.
Joe Singer, a high-school boy,
left on the morning stage for Tono-
pah and attempted to join the army
at the Tonopah recruiting station.
Later he attempted to join the
aviation corps and being refused
on account of poor eyes, he then
tried to enlist as a wireless opera
tor, again being turned down owing
to the condition of his eyes.
Young Singer is a proficient wire
less operator, having erected a plant
at his home, installing all the APP
paratus himself. Although he fail
ed in his laudable ambition to aid
his country in it's time of need, he
may be consoled by the fact that
at a time when there is much talk
of the organization of volunteers
for almost everything, he went
straight to an organization where
he had an opportunity to be OF
genuine aid-the regular army -
and offered his services to his coun-
try.
Young Singer returned to Gold
field last night and refuses to talk
about his trip to Tonopah, taking
no particular pride in what he
did.

Work of construction on the second
unit of the flotation plant is now
progressing rapidly, and when this
is in operation the company will be
a Gems. derable factor in the produc-
ton of red metal.
The Record is not speaking by the
card, but it is the general report
that tetore the expiration of he
present year the management OF
Coppermines will commence the
erection of a plant with a capacity of
5000 tons of ore daily on the west

there is no reason for further delay

PEAvINE DISTRICT
SHOWS GOOD ORE
EDNA CONSOLIDATED COMPANY
REPORTS EXCELLENT
FIND

Development work in the Peavine
mining district, a few miles north of
Reno, is creating considerable inter
est among mining men who have
been in camps all over the west.
Many of them say Reno will have
one of the best copper-producing
sections in the state right at her
doors.
Among the properties in which
work is being pushed rapidly is the
Edna Consolidated Mining companys
mill near Poeville, owned by a group
of Reno business men and practical
ly a close corporation. John Etcho-
tarren is president and 20 others
are associated with him.
The property was worked for sew
eral years by Ben r. Miller, from
whom it was bought several months
ago. Development has been done in
tunnels driven on veins of copper
ore. The tunnels are several hun
dred feet in length and ore bodies
have been encountered at several
points.
There are three main ore-bearing
lodges and the tunnels have been
driven to intersect these" said Mr..
Miller. Recently a six-inch vein of
ORE, bearing gold, silver, lead and
copper and assaying very high, was
encountered and the company is now
making plans to develop this ore
body to a great extent and ship ore
as 500 as possible. Copper-bearing
ore has been found in large quaint
ties in all three of the lodges and
shipments of copper ore were made
from the property ten or twelve
years ago when l owned it,"
Miller says he considers the new
strike on the property to be n of
the biggest finds made in the Pea
vine district. Plans for building a
mill at the foot of the mountain on
which the property is situated are
being considered, he says, as a tram
way can be built from the mine,
making transportation cheap. There
is plenty of water from three springs
to run the mill-Reno Gazette.

Food Shortage In Camp

Jarbidge has insufficient food for
the population. Last fall the mer-
chants put in their usual stock of
goods, but the winter has been so
long and the population of the
camp has increased to such an ex-
tent that the stores are bare of all
provisions. Potatoes are selling
for $40 a sack, sugar for $50 a
sack and other articles in proper
ton. Hay On the road into the
camp and Is miles out is selling
at 500 per ton. Unless the wea-
ther breaks the people will suffer
from hunger, as the only way to
to the camp is by snow shoes.

TUNNEL GUARDS
AGAIN ATTACKED
SOLDIERS AND UNKNOWN PER
SONS EXCHANGE SHOTS
FOR HOURS

Word reached Elko today that
guards at n of the railroad tun-
nels were fired upon last night
about ten o'clock, by unknown per-
sons, and shots were exchanged for
several hours. The matter is being
investigated today by military and
civil authorities, and late this after
noon a report reached Elko that an
arrest had been made of one man
who was acting suspiciOusly.
In some a report gained
circulation this morning that there
was insubordination in the camp.
We can state on positive authority
that such is not the fact.
Tracks of the horses have been
found in the vicinity from whence
the shots are said to have come,
and there are other evidences that
the parties who engaged in the snip
ing tactics were mounted or had
their horses tied at a convenient dis
lance.
No effort will be spared to trace
u the guilty parties and bring
them to justice. The guard has
been increased and the authorities
have the matter we'll in hand.
