JUDGE GOODWIN
DEAD At HOME
FAMOUS EDITOR AND NEVADA
PIONEER HAD EVENT
Full CAREER

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. Aug.
27.-Judge G. G. Goodwin, editor
and author and for 81 years, from
1880 to 1901, editor-in-chief of the
Salt Lake Tribune, died at his home
late Saturday afternoon, after an
illness of several months. Judge
Goodwin had been critically MI for
more than a week and his death
was expected.
Mr.. Goodwin was born in Riga,
near Rochester, N. Y, Apr. 4, 1882.
Judge Goodwin was identified with
the early mining days in California
and Nevada. He was elected one
of the first district judges when
Nevada was admitted to statehood.
including THE Comstock Club" and
LAS l Remember Them" a volume
of 'Recollections of Western Men"
He was married in California to
Miss Alice Maynard. He is sur
vived by his widow and two child
rem, James Todman Goodwin, OF
Salt Lake, and Mrs. Robert Parker
of Chicago.
The death of Charles C. Good
win removes the last, with possibly
one exception, of the brilliant coter-
lie of writer's which sprang up in
California and Nevada during the
sixties and seventies. While best
known as a journalist, Goodwin's
vocations included those of school
teacher, merchant, miner lawyer,
jurist, politician, orator, author and
various other lines of activity.
During the California gold rush,
Goodwin, at the age of 20 journeyed
to the New Eldorado by way of
Panama, passed through the embry-
onic San Francisco and settled at
the inland town of MarySville,
where he became a lumber mer-
in his grasp, was lost by fire. He
then turned miner and took UP the
study of law.
The discovery of the wonderful
Comstock Lode at Virginia City.
New, in the latter %fifties, led Good
win to that camp, where he became
editor of the noted Territorial En-
terprise and was associated with
such mining operators as Mackay,
Flood, Fair, Sharon and many
others who acquired vast wealth,
always missing his own fortune by
a narrow margin.
Among his employees from time
to time we're Mark Twain, Bret
Harte, Dan De guile (William
Wright, Joseph T. Goodwin and
others who gained fame in later
life. He mixed in politics, served
as district judge and was a candi-
date for congress.

w. p. Brooks is now running a
stage line from Goldfield to the new
camp of Tolicha and is making two
regular trips weekly and also trips
by appointment at any time. He re-

on which the original discovery was
made. This ground was recently
purchased by State Senator Zeb
Kendall of Tonopah. Work is also

EAT CHEESE, IS
EXPERT ADVICE
COMMON VARIETY SAID TO BE
WHOLESOME AND
NUTRITIOUS

WASHINGTON, D. c. store"
cheese - more properly known as
American cheddar - is more nour-
ishing, pound for pound, than any
meat and therefore should have a
prominent place in the diet as a meat
substitute, says a statement issued
by the United States department of
agriculture.
Few people in this country eat
cheese in sufficient quantities for it
really to form an important part in
the daily fare" says the statement.
Indeed, it is used more often simply
as an appetizer or as a seasoning for
some other food. Nearly every one
relishes good American cheddar or
store cheese, but there is an impress
sioE that it is indigestible and con-
stipaGing.
Extensive digestion experiments
carried on by the department of ag-
riculture have demonstrated that
more than 95 per cent of the protein
of cheese is digested and 90 per cent
of the energy is available. Even
when eaten in large quantities and
for long periods, 40 case of indiges-
ton, constipation or other disturb
ance was observed in those who
ate it.
Zone man who ate cheese as the
chief source of both protein and en-
ergy, eating an average of 9.27 N
es daily, with bread and fruit, for
more than two years, did a fair
amount of muscular work and kept
in good health.
American cheddar cheese is a
very satisfactory substitute for meat
1t can be kept in storage for a long
time and contains much food in small
volume.
"A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as a
pound of round steak and almO-t
twice as much protein as the same
amount, of fowl or ham Cheese.
therefore, is usually a cheaper fool
than the meats"

T0N0PAH DIVIDE
HAS DISCOVERY
HIGH ASSAYS COMING FROM TO
NOPAH GOLD MOUNTAIN
CLAIMS

A mineral discovery of import
ance has just been made on the es-
tate of the Tonopah Divide Mining
company situated six miles from To
nopah on what is known as Gold
Mountain. The find was made by
Thomas F.. Grimes, who has been OPP
Grating under lease for quite a per-
iod. and who has been highly sue
cessful in finding pay mineral.
The ore vein is reported as having
a width Of Jour feet and the discov-
cry vas made at a depth of 10 feet
from the surface near the crest of
the mountain. Assays on picked
samples show values running as high
as 1887 ounces of silver and 7.40
ounces gold a ton.
A recent shipment made from this
property where development is
being prosecuted resulted in returns
of 1923 a ton being realized, from
the screenings.
Joseph Grimes and Gus Hansen,
who own the Anchor-Lelon group of
claims, lying to the west Of the
Tonopah Divide estate, have uncover
ed a promising vein of ore in an adit
that has ben extended for 20 feet
While it is yet a little early to give
details of the discovery, indications
are that something important is
about to develop that will prove of
interest to those interested in this
famous old mining district.
There is considerable activity in
evidence in the Gold Mountain sec
ton. A number of prospectors are
development and finds OF
importance are being announced
quite frequently.-Tonopah Times.

as an occasion when all mourners
may give vent to their pent-up feel

YERINGTON COPPER COMPANY IS
OPENING OLD ADELAIDE Mine

Late work at the Adelaide mine of
khe Yerington Mountain Copper COM
pany, south of Golconda, Humboldt
county, Nevada, bears out the cal
culations of the management of the
company when the mine was first
placed under examination, early in
1916, with a view to its purchase
from the j. P. Coats estate.
Fortified at that time by a United
States geological survey report, writ
ten by Frederick l.. Ransome, one
of the geological experts of the sur
vey, several years before the present
management undertook the examina-
ton. the Yerington Mountain COM
pany's engineers conducted exhaust
i've probes and tests into the merits
of the property before finally taking
the property over, but definitely con-
summated the transfer early in Aug
ust of last year by the interchange
Of deeds for the purchase price.
w. II. ldylOT > tdL-
est report from Adelaide, received
yesterday morning by President and
General Manager John G.. Kirchen, is
Of the greatest importance, showing
as it does that the possibilities of
the property were not in any way
over-estimated by the Yerington
Mountains engineers when they rec
commended the purchase of the old
mine.
Boiled down, Mr.. Taylor's report is
to the effect that he has been work
ing during the past week on the 200
foot level from the main 300-foot
working shaft, has demonstrated the
copper orebody at this depth to be
20 feet wide, and has opened it for
a length of so feet along it's strike.
The orebody throughout it's entire
length and width averages A " per
cent copper and contains about 8 "a
ounces of silver.
Another important item in the lat

increased to about 500 tons per
month. With the orebody being o n

SPRUCENONT IS
BEING REVIVED
OLD CAMP IN ELKO COUNTY
AGAIN MADE PRO
DUCER

At the present time there is con-
siderable mining activity at Spruce
mont-more Inan there has been
for several past years, and parties
arriving from that section report
that the old mountain is teeming
with prospecting work, as wcll as
the extraction of ores from a 2um
Der of copper and silver-lead prop
critics.
C. NJ. Spence and associates con-
tinue to do development work on
their properties, especially the claim
where they are sinking to the
waterlevel, with the hope of en-
countering the copper ores, known
to exist above. The Black Forest
Mining & Smelling company, of
which Mr.. Spence is the head, re-
Gently leased on a royalty basis,
which. in the years gone by, many
thousands of dollars had been ex-
tracted, to Messrs, Jimmy" Rog-
ers, Forbes Bredin and j. A. Davis
t Wells.
These lessees have been doing
considerable work on this property
and recently discovered good bo-
dies of ore in two different loca-
tons. From these bodies they have
been taking out shipping ore and
now have in the bins over one
hundred tons, which has been
n uyniti,n cIttNr,nr 20 tha cn,ntn,.
at Murray, Utah. This ore is dis
covered in a drift from the 100
foot working shaft and carries
splendid. values in silver and lead
A few days 6 at the end of the
drift the miners began stopping on
a body of ore that had been en-
countered and at the time our infor-
mant left the camp had five feet
of ore that averaged II ounces in
silver and from 1875 to 81 per cent
lead. At this point no walls had
been encountered, hence it was i'm
possible to even estimate the extent
of the ore body. The entire body
is good shipping ore and will do
much to increase the tonnage of the
property.
Messrs, Rogers, Bredin and Davis
have a tWO-year lease on the prop
erty and are highly satisfied with
the outlook confronting them. They
will, just as soon as arrangements
Jean be completed, begin shipping
ore to the smelter and continue as
long as values are obtainable. The
ore will be hauled to Jasper siding
On the Western Pacific. slightly
over nineteen miles and there load
ed on the cars.
Messrs j. w. Byran and Robert
Hartley, Jr., are also taking out
ore for shipment and have eighty
tons of copper ore ready for trans
portation to the Western Pacific.
This ore will go better than 25 per
ent copper. They are working in
copper ore all the time and are
daily adding to their shipping ton
mage.
A novelty, being practiced on the
mountain for the first time, and
showing how highly mineralized the
surface of the ground really is,
was recently inaugurated by l.. c..
Reed, Mr.. Reed has been using a
team and scraper and gathering the
copper ore right on top of the
ground, and has a considerable
amount ready for shipment. He
has had assays and computations
made and is assured a wage of
from six to eight dollars per day,
after all expenses have been paid.
From this character of mining. -
