has recently been suffering a severe
slump, all the liberty seekers ap-
parently stopping in the town on
the banks of the Truckee. Gold
fields arbiter of marital disputes
is getting rusty in the laws govern
ing divorces, as they have become
novelties instead of common occur
ences as in the past. One lone suit
a filed this morning, that of
James E. Brooks against Linnie
Brooks. Brooks has been a resident
of Goldfield for over three years
and the whereabouts of the defen-
dant are unknown. The plaintiff
was exceedingly fortunate or I'M
fortunate, as the cast may be, as
in August, 1909 he took unto him
self a wife in New Mexico and in
September, 1909, in Colorado, the
wife took unto herself a notion to

SILVER DROP DUE TO
SUBMARINE MENACE

The drop in silver during the
past week has been caused by the
threatened war conditions and the
fact that this country is not now ex-
porting any silver to the allies or
other European countries.
There is a large quantity of sill
yer now being stored in this coun-
try" said Frank M. Manson, man
ager of the Western Ore Purchasing
company, land as there is no for
eign market for it the drop in price
is to be expected. The minute,
however, that the submarine menace
is cleared up it is bound to take
another big rise and will probably
pass all previous marks.
THE export trade vas the reason
for the rise in price and this trade
will be doubled as soon as the ex-
porters can be assured Of the silver
reaching it's destination. Reno
Gazette.
