OPENING RICH
NATIONAL MINE
CHEEFOO PROPERTY is PROV
ING VALUABLE UNDER
NEW DEVELOPMENT

More evidence of the stability of
the great camp of National, in the
northern part of this county, is be-
ing demonstrated at the property
of the Cheefoo Mining company,
where another large vein of rich
ore is being uncovered. A 25-pound
sample of the ore shows numerous
patches of silver sulphide and ma
tive silver. This ore will run in the
neighborhood of 5000 to the ton.
About SIS of this amount is in
gold while the balance is in sill
yer. The vein SO far as uncovered
is from four to II feet wide and
all is a rich milling grade of ore.
The development on the property at
the present time exposes so feet of
a shoot which has been proved up
and down for over rs feet.
The operating company, under
the management of N. p. r. Hatch,
well-known National mining man,
is building a road along the side

Better than IL tons of lumber
and supplies are ordered from the
Verdi Lumber company and the c..
B. Brown company is to furnish a
lot of air pipe and hardware. This
material and supplies are now being
hauled to the property by Kelsey
Bros big freighting outfit.
1t has often being said by the
miners and prospectors of National
that the Cheefoo would surely de-
velop into a rich mine and the
opening of the present body of ore
is proving the correctness of their
opinion. Mining Engineer yelling
ton j.. Anderson of San Francisco
also made a favorable report on the
possibilities of the property. VALID
emar Lindgren, in his report of
the National district to the United
States Geological Survey, states
that the latte of the Cheefoo is
identical with that of the property
of the National Mines company,
which has produced millions in bull
lion from the richest ore found in
the state.
The Cheefoo is situated some dis
tance west of the National mine in
a section of the camp that is in
line to make another phenomenal

FIGHT CARD IS
MOST INVITING
MEN TO MEET HERE On EVE
OF FOURTH ARE SLUG
GERS

On the night of July 3 Willie
Meehan and AL Norton will meet in
the Hippodrome for their fourth
contest, the first over the ~1O-round
route.
On three occasions the men have
met on the coast, in each instance
for four rounds. The first fight
resulted in a decision for Meehan
and the other two were draws, the
last contest leading to considerable
discussion, as it was generally be-
lieved that Norton had enough
margin in the fight to justify a
decision in his favor.
1t is considered almost certain
that in their first clash over the
longer route a decision will result
and a great fight is looked forward
to-.
Meahan fought here in the pre-
liminary to the Ritchie-McCarthy
contest and it is agreed that he is
one of the few fighters who have
been seen in Goldfield rings who
fight hard all the time. Local men
believe the contest will be a whirl-
wind, as in Norton the fat boy will
meet a man at least his equal in
every department of the game.

RICHARDSON IS
NOW BENEOICK
WEDDING Is ELIMINATION OF
ROMANCE BEGUN FIVE
YEARS AGO

Walter Richardson, linotype oper-
ator on the Tribune, and Miss Ava
Brown of Nephi, Utah, were united
in matrimony at $50 on Saturday
evening at the home of the groom's
parents by Rev. F. c. Thomson. TIL
bride arrived in Goldfield on Fri
day night.
Five years ago Richardson was
employed on the Salt Lake Tribune
and during his residence in Salt
Lake Cupid sealed his fate, the
wedding of Saturday evening being
girl of his choice at that time. He
later left Salt Lake and went east,
where for several years he worked
on many of the large Atlantic coast
papers before returning west via
Panama when he was a passenger
on the Kroonlard, which was held
up rs days by the worst of the
canal slides.
A reception was neld after the
wedding at the home of the groom's
parents at which 40 guests were
present, not including several hun
dred juvenile entertainers. Dainty
refreshments were served and the
bride and groom received the con-
CALCULATIONS of their numerous
friends. The newly married couple
received many beautiful and useful
wedding presents to encourage them
during the first stages of their mat
rImonial career.
The gathering of friends, who ex-
pected to witness the marriage cere-
mony, was greatly surprised when
the groom's mother introduced the
newlyweds as "Mr. and Mrs. Rich
ardson," and revenge was planned.
Later in the evening the groom,
realizing this, attempted to make
a getaway" but in SO doing
lost his coat to his avengers and
was overpowered, shackled and TAX
en- in an automobile to Elks' hall,
where a dance was in progress, and

around the hall to the strains of
Mendelssohn's wedding march. 1t is
thought that this was the first oc-
casion in the history of the world
in which a man appeared on a ball
room floor in his shirt sleeves.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson will
make their home at 100 South
Franklin street.

FOR RED CROSS DRIVE

rest easy with the knowledge that
throughout the state will meet the
demand. Our men of Salt Lake
will not be behind. 1t will be the
experience of the committee doing
this work that it will meet with
a ready response, because men
throughout the nation all realize
that those at home must do their
bit, that sacrifices must be willing
ly made. and they are prepared to
make them now. The country'S
wal needs are not to be haggled
over.
Our national chairman. Mr..
Dawson. said only last week. in
a great meeting in New York:
Certainly there is nothing nat this
people needs more than a sense of
sacrifice. This is not a time to lis
ten to the man who whines, Il am
contributing so much here and so
much there, and taxes are very
high, and then there is the high
cost of living" This is a time to
act, to give, to make sacrifice. and
to respond to the demands of the
committees who do this work. and
to show genuine American patriot
ISM
There will be a few slackers-
not many. The community will
properly appraise and condemn
them. Our workers will expect
prompt response. except a rising to
the val spirit. a meeting of the
demand, and will waste no time in
haggling or begging. If our sons
are to be conscripted for war, there
must be no hesitation when our
dollars are asked for to be used as
the great bulwark of aid and care
to those who are to face enemy
bullets.
There is not the slightest ques-
ton about Utah furnishing this
money. She met the demand for

erty bonds. and she will meet next
week her full proportion of the Red

GOOD RESULTS IN DEEP WORK

is following along the footwall. -
On the 200 level of the UnsSh'
mine a short distance from the ST.
ezra Nevada line, a north drift is
being reopened by the Union COM
pany. The drift was apparently ex-
tended to the Sierra Nevada line and
ste pped. Good indications have i'een
found in this drift and sampiing IN
the bottom has shown some high
values. The Union will repair the
drift to the Sierra Nevada line, at
which point the latter company Will
take up the work of extending the
drift into Sierra Nevada ground as
soon as ventilation facilities have
been completed.
Superintendent Sharon states that
the possibilities on the $500 and
27OO levels are very highly regard
ed, and at present are the most i'm
portant for ore prospects in the mine.
Practically virgin ground exists at
this depth and consequently any ore
developed will materially help out
the situation at the north end. The
work is in the main Constock ledge,
away from the old Slopes, and in ter
ritory where the indications are ex-
ceptionally promising. The company
will vigorously and thoroughly ex-
plore this section of the mine.-Vir-

superintendent William E. Sharon
of the Sierra Nevada mine stated
yesterday regarding operations In
that property that on the 2400 level
work to the north had been carried
forward to the point where ore was
reported in the early days, but it
was found that the ore had been
stopped out. Consequently work has
been discontinued on this level for
the present. On tne $500 level
steady progress is being made clean
ing out the old north drift, and abou'
two feet remain to reach the cross
cut where good ore was reported by
a former superintendent. There are
no records to show that this ore was
ever mined, and to determine this
the connecting workings are being
reopened and repaired.
On the 1900 level, a drift is being
run on what is considered a most
excellent prospect, the face being
nearly all in quartz, similar in char
acter to that of the Con. Virginia,
but as yet showing little or no values.
The face is in the neighborhood OF
rs feet from a point under the winze
extending from the 2400 to the $500
level, which showed good ore all the
waly down to the $500. AS far as
known, the ore was never sunk On

CANDELAR|A HAS
MINING REVIVAL
OLD PRODUCERS WILL AGAIN
BE OPENED ON BROAD
SCALE

Candelaria, with a record produc-
ton of S3,OOO,O 900 from her mines
in the early days, will come back and
once again be placed on the map.
This pleasing fact was assured
when the papers were signed and F.
c. Beedle, the well-known mining
man. took Owe practically all of the
principal mines of the camp, consist
Mining company, the Holmes and
Northern Belle and the Mount Di-
ablo Mining company, together with
the pipe line and water system of the
Esmeralda Water and Milling COM
pany.
The water system consists of 81
miles of pipe line from Candelaria
to the source of the water supply in
the White mountains. The mining
properties consist of 80 claims, COM
prising 1877 acres. The claims are
200 by 900 feet, that being the legal
size of claims in the early days
when these locations we're made.
The purchase of these extensive
holdings of Mr.. Beedle means a re-
vival and activity such as has not
been seen in Candelaria since the
boom days of the early SOS when
practically every hole in the district
was sending out it's wealth of treas
ure. This is presaged by the ener-
getic in which MI. Beedle is
proceeding with the preliminary
work preparatory to the Inaugural
ton of extensive development plans.
To this end a hoist has been in
stalled on the Mt. Diablo to more
rapidly handle the work of sinking
and the output of ore which Is al
ready opened. A thoroughly COM
plete assay office and met
allurgical laboratory has been in
stalled and there will be no hit or
miss proposition as the value OF
every ton of ore taken out will be
accurately known as we'll as the
saving the values.
These properties are already well
developed through workings consist
ing of shafts, tunnels, drifts, cross
cuts, wines and raises. AS before
stated they were extensively operat-
ed in the early days, and produced
millions in r until they were
closed down through labor troubles
and litigation. But Notwithstanding
this, from the present day mining
standpoint the ground has scarcely
been scratched and there are millions
more of ore awaiting extraction.
Later on it is understood that a
plant will be installed on the ground
for the treatment of the ores. II
goes without saying hal the pro-
cess will be successful in getting
the highest percentage of savings OF
values, for it is well known that for
the past three years or more Mr..
Beedle has been quietly working to
solve this problem. When the fact
is taken into consideration that he
solved the metallurgical problem OF
extracting the values from the
