MORE ARRESTS IN
W.P. BOOZE THEFT

Three more arrests were made
Thursday night in connection with the
robbery of the Western Pacific ware
house on the night of November 2S,
when fifty-two cases of whisky were
carried away, presumably in au auto
truck. The men taken into custody
were Ed Olds and A. w. Lowell, own
ers of the Mint saloon in Winnemuc-
ca, and Stanley Chapman, an automo-
bile driver and machinist. The ar
rests were made by Deputy Sheriff
Muller and Constable Moore. Com
plants against the three men and
John Riley and James Robinson were
sworn to by H. e. Kline, Western Pa
cife detective. 1t is rumored that
others are suspected and more arrests
are likely. Bail for each of the men
wac fixed at $1,000 by Justice iRtchie.
1t is also rumored that Olds. Lowell
and Chapman were arrested as the re-
suit OF confession made to the off,
GERS by Elmer Smith, the Western Pa
cifie car inspector, who has been in
custody since the day following the
robbery. Fingerprints found on the
sill of the window through which the
robbers entered the warehouse were
identified as those of Smith and rumor
has it that when he was confronted
with this evidence against him, he
made a clean breast of the whole af-
fair. That Smith has confessed can
not be verified, but is indicated to
some extent by the fact that yester-
day morning, when taken before JUS
tice Richie for his preliminary ex-
animation. he waived this proceeding
He was held to answer with bail fixed
at $4,000.
Riley and Robinson are not in GUS
tody. They are the men who were ar
rested at the same time with Smith. on
suspicion. and were released several
days ago.
So far the search for the stolen
whisky has been without results. II
ii believed II was taken into Oregon
or Idaho by bootleggers.

NATIONAL LEASING
CLOSE TO ORfBODY

Readers of the Industrial and Min
ing Age will recall the overnight rise
on the Curb of about 500 per cent in
the market price of Old Emma Leas-
ing stock about fifteen months ago,
from l0c share to SEC, when news
was flashed across the wires that the
Old Emma Leasing Company had, by
the aid OF diamond drill, penetrated
bonanza ore.
A dispatch received from the New
York Offices OF the National Leasing
Company on Saturday from the mine
superintendent at National, Nevada,
made il look as IL a duplication of the
Old Emma Leasing stock market hap
pening may not be far off and that this
time National Leasing will be the
medium of a similar. IL not greater,
market coup.
National Leasing shares had a final
OF 7c on the New York Curb on Satur-
day. The issued capitalization is less
than 100000 shares. The stock of
the National Mines Company, whose
property adjoins that of the National
Leasing Company, sold up to 81 a
share when that company made its
initial big strike.
The National Leasing Company
owns a fve-year lease on adjoining
ground and also owns lease on the
entire equipment OF the National
Mines Company. The National Leas-
ing Company is drifting on the Ma
tional vein. in National Leasing
ground, at a depth of 500 feet. 1t is
searching for duplication of the rich
oreshoot which made the National
mine famous and which resulted in a
production estimated up TO $1,000. 900.
Elmer Pfouts, mine superintendent,
OF the National Leasing Company.
telegraphed to the company's New
York Office on Monday, as follows:
Ledge improving. Twelve inches
Of ground up quartz with large pieces
OF good quartz. Is more regular. Cut
through the footwall to be sure had
all the ledge. Found about six feet
Of mineralized rhyolite with a basalt
dyke for a footwall. A gouge seam
between rhyolite and basalt. Water
coming out of basalt"
On Thursday he wired as follows:
Ledge Improving. Two feet wide.
Good footwall still Badly broken and
ground up punches of good high-grade
quartz occurs In the ledge with a
regular ribbon structure. Water fol-
lows the vein"
This was followed by the following
telegram on Saturday:
Ledge is widening with every round
and a better grade of quartz is show
ing"
Consulting Engineer Feust OF the
National Leasing Company commented
on Mr.. Pfouts' message as follows:
Il consider the news received from
the mine this week as highly encour'
aging. The fact that the wall rock Is
rhyolte indicates a repetition OF the
formation OF $50 feet to the nortr
where the National Mines Company
took out It's s7,000.0O0 bonanza. The
rhyolite, according to the Unite
States Geological Survey Is intimately
associated with the ore bodies. Whil'
am thoroughly acquainted with thu
erratic occurrence of oreshoots in golC
deposits. feel confident that thu
work must be n close proximity to al
orebody."
