CHIEF MURPHY
IN FIRE TALK
HAS NO DOUBT REGARDING
ORIGIN OF BLAZE "A
YESTERDAY

Fire at z o'clock on Sunday even
ing in cabins on South First street,
west of the redlight district, made
it necessary for the firemen to
stretch 100 feet of hose up a
steep hill to put water on the
flames. The residence Of Jack
Buffehr, a bartender, and adjoining
cabins were burned to the ground.
An unusual feature of the fire was
the continual explosion of ammuni-
ton and the resulting whizzing of
bullets. The occupant of n of the
buildings has evidently been loaded
for bear. The buildings were own
ed by W. H. Braden.
The evidence is said to be so
strong that there is no doubt in
the minds of Chief Murphy and his
men that the fire was of incendiary
origin. The chief has reported the
matter to the police and the case
is generally believed to be a plain
one. 1t is said that the previous
fire in the redlight was also a plain
case of incendiarism, with robbery
as the motive. This fire occurred
during the recent fire epidemic.
According to Chief Murphy, in
the presence of several witnesses.
a girl known as "Tex," who is said
to live in one of the cabins burn
ed, made a remark to the effect
that when Buffehr returned from
Tonopah, where he went yesterday.
he would have no home to go to.
1t is said by the witnesses that Tex
and a redlight character known as
Battling Irwin, both intoxicated,
left the place in which the remark
is said to have been made and that
the fire started but a few minutes
later.
Naturally, Chief Murphy does not
hold in high favor persons who set
fire to buildings and he Immediately
turned over his information to the
proper authorities. For yesterdays
fire it was necessary for him to lay
out practically all the hose carried
on the truck and had a fire started
in the business section while the
truck, with 100 feet of hose lying
on a hillside, was on the outskirts
of the town, what is believed to
have been the work of an %intoxicat-
ed woman might have resulted far
more seriously than it did.

MINES NEAR EUREKA
RESUME OPERATIONS

Operations at the Connolly mine
on Prospect mountain were resumed
Wednesday of this week and three
regular shifts r again working.
The suspension of development
work on this property several weeks
ago was due to the inability of
securing a supply of distillate, but
this trouble has now been over
come by the Eureka Garage in OBJ
tanning a sufficient number Of con-
tainers to keep carload shipments
of this fuel moving from Elko,
where the Standard Oil company
has agreed to supply all demands
as fast as containers are furnished
for filling.
This arrangement will also per-
nit of a resumption of work on
the Holly mines or Adams Hill,
recently taken owe under bond by
Thomas Robinson and associates,
and it is expected that the develop
ment work on this property will
now start on July Eureka Sen

RECRUITING STATION
HERE IS CLOSED
WHEN LEAVING CORPORAL
PUTT TAKES RECRUIT
WITH HIM

B. G.. Piutti, who has been in
charge of the local army recruit
ing station for the past 10 days,
left this morning for Reno, after
having received orders from
headquarters to close the Goldfield
station. He will go to Reno and
will hereafter work out of there.
The recruiting officer took with
him j. B. Prudy, a well-known
local man, who is on his way to
the receiving station at Fort Nc
Dowell, on San Francisco bay, after
having Joined the field artillery
branch of the army through the
Goldfield station.
Before leaving Corporal Piutti
said: 1.-THE Goldfield station has
been closed as W. stations as close
together as those of Tonopah and
Goldfield are unnecessary, parti-
cularly in view of the shortage of
recruiting officers in the state. To-
nopah, because of having a larger
population and because of the num-
Der of small communities, such as
Millers, Manhattan, Round Noun
tain, Nina and Luning, within easy
reach of it, is more desirable for a
recruiting station for this district,
comprising Esmeralda, Mineral and
Nye counties. Although the Tono-
pah station has been credited with
more recruits than Goldfield, the
number of men recruited from each
town is practically the same.
THE station in Tonopah having
been opened some time before the
one here was established, a num-
Der of men have gone from here to
Tonopah to enlist. Not a day has
gone by but | have had applications
or been questioned about the SER
vice. From the acquantances have
made while here, | know that men
will be continually joining the ser
vice from Goldfield and | recom-
mend such men to F. E. Koyle, who
is now in charge of this district,
with headquarters at Tonopah, or
they may enter the service through
the local postmaster"

broken rock of various kinds.
Drifting was advanced along the
second vein for $50 feet without
any important change occurring. 1t
was then decided to cross-cut back
to the original parallel vein.
Here a fine body of ore of COM
mercial grade was opened up and a
drift run along the footwall for
over 80 feet shows that it holds up

J. P. Lotus and j.. X. Turner,
old Goldfield and Tonopah mining
men, have started milling on the
Oatman Gold Top property in the
Secret Pass district. They have a
3O-ton ball and amalgamating mill
just installed. with a large body of
ore opened up on a hill above the
mill, so that the ore can be brought
down by gravity.
Otto Wartenweiler of Los Angeles
who designed the United Eastern
mill, has been commissioned to
draw plans for a 200 ton mill for
the Gold Ore Mining company ad-
joining the Gold Road, where a
large body of milling ore has been
opened up and several thousand
tons shipped to the Gold Road mill.
The mill will be designed in units,
the first unit being of so tons ca
pacity. The same general crushing
and separating methods as are used
in the United Eastern will be en-
bodied in the Gold Ore plant.

FORMER GOLDFIELD MAN
CHARGED WITH FORGERY

J. J.. Tognoni, a Tonopah photo
grapher, was taken into custody
Thursday night to answer to a
charge of forgery preferred by John
Williams. 1t is alleged by Williams
that Tognoni signed the names Of
relatives to two notes calling for
$136 and 1856 respectively. These
notes were bought by Williams,
who claims he did not discover
they were forgeries until a short
time ago. Tognoni is held a pris-

The ore in the Wine was continu-

figured that the mentioned cross
cut will tap the vein at a vertical
distance of 80 feet below the $50

The Midway Consolidated is now
drifting towards the east on the

with no appreciate change having
occurred during the week. The face
of the drift is out 40 feet from the
winze, and is still opening up a full
width of low grade quartz. The
showings are of great promise; in

RINDLAUB LECTURES TO
FARGO COLLEGE CLUB
Development of the Eye, His Subject
Smallest Trace Of Negro Blood
DistinguishanIe in Eye.

At a regular meeting of the Ence-
phalon club, the biological research
at Fargo college, held
last evening. DIR. John H. Rindlaub Of
this city gave a very interesting illu-
strated lecture on The Development Of
the Eye. DR.. Rindlaub has put vast
amount Of time on the preparation Of
this subject, and has an exceedingly
valuable set Of slides which he has had
made especially for this lecture.
The speaker began with a discussion
on the comparative anatomy Of the
eye, tracing it's development down
through the more rudimentary forms
of animal life to the human eye. His
description of the various forms Of
eyes found in~bird life was particular
ly interesting. One Of the interesting
points brought out was that the
smallest trace Of negro blood in a
human could be detected by an exam
ination of the retina of the eye. The
speaker stated that the amount Of pig
mentation in the retina was directly
proportional to the complexion.
Aat the next meeting Of the En-
cephalons CLAUS Murie. of Moor
head, will address them on his ex-
periences in the far north, as col
lector for a large museum in Pitts
burgh.

SHRINE
MEETING
SUCCESS
Despite Delayed Trains Full
ly 500 Outside Mobiles
Attended Event

Despite the stormy weather there
was a great crowd of Shriners in the
city last evening for the ceremonial
which was held at the Masonic temple.
In addition to the hundreds Of mem
bers Of Ell Zagal temple who live in
Fargo, there were fully 500 visitors.
There were representatives present
from Medinah temple Of Chicago, yell
DEE of Aberdeen. Ell Rad Of Sioux
Falls. KEN of Grand Forks. Aad OF
Duluth, Zurah Of Minneapolis, Csman
Of st. Paul, Moolah Of st. Louis and
others. The heavy SHOWS in Mime
sofa and the delaying of railroad traf-
fic prevented Deputy Imperial Poten-
tate Charles e. Ovenshire Of Minnea-
polls from arriving with his delegation
from Osman and Zurah temples.
The ceremonial was without doubt
one of the best ever held by Ell ZagaI
temple, and reflects great credit on
Potentate F. Leland Watkins and the
members of his divan. It was the first
spring ceremonial that has been held
by FL Zagal temple in some time.
There were Sc novices made mobiles
of FL Zagal temple, a much larger
class than was expected.
All yesterday afternoon the novices
were kept on the jump by those who
had them in charge. They were COM
PEELED to stage all sorts of stunts.

front of the business houses. shining
shoes, selling newspapers, and almost
everything else that the mobiles could
think of. 1t was a weary but happy
caravan that reached the oasis Of Ell
Zagal late last night, 49,,
The entertainment features were de-
lightful. The traditional banquet held
at about IL o'clock, following the ini-
tiation, was q splendid feature, the
appointments and the service being
all that could be asked. There was an
entertainment and show staged for
the Shriners, some splendid perform
ers being secured for the occasion by
Dad" Fowler Of the Orpheum and
Grand theatres.
The cry now is ION to Minneapolis"
which has been adopted by the Shrin-
ers as a real motto and for which
every effort is being bent.
Potentate Watkins said that the ex-
act dates for the next ceremonial had
not been decided on at this time but
would probably be held some time in
June prior to the Imperial council
meeting at Minneapolis. Potentate
Watkins said today that the commit
tees for the Imperiol council arrange
ments would be announced in the near
future.
