REV. !. f. PRICE
TO LEAVE HERE
METHODIST PASTOR WILL BE
GIVEN NEW APPOINTMENT
AT CONFERENCE

On Sunday Rev. Ira E. Price
preached his farewell sermon as
pastor of the Goldfield Methodist
church and he will leave Tuesday
to attend the Methodist conference,
to start at Winnemucca OF Wednes-
day. At the conference he will be
appointed to a new charge. Who
will succeed him or the location Of
his new charge remains to be deter
mined at the conference.
Mrs. Price will go to Fallon,
where she will visit a son and two
daughters.
Rev. Mr.. Price came to Goldfield
one year ago from Ely and during
his stay here has made many
staunch friends both in and out o.
his congregation. Mrs. Price also
has been well liked and their de-
parture for new fields of endeavor
is generally regretted. A new pas
tor will be appointed to this charge
and will probably hold services here
on Sept. 20.
The departing minister is an old
resident of Nevada, for the past II
years having been in the Nevada
mission. He has been a minister in
the Methodist church for 81 years,
serving in many different states.

REPORTS
NOW REQUIRED
ISL ANK SCHEDULES MAY BIZ
OBTAINED FROM SAN
FRANCISCO OFFICE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. s. =
Since the federal law requires that
all firms having commercial stocks
of foods shall make returns of what
they have on hand or in transit on
Aug. 81, the United States depart
ment of agricultur... charged with
carrying out the provisions of the
law, has designed certain places
within each state where the blank
food survey schedules may be OBJ
tanned.
These blanks are to be filled in
duplicate, one copy to be retained
by the reporting firm and the other
to be sent to the department at
Washington. In this state the sur
vey blanks may be obtained at the
office of Federal Grain Supervision,
1131 Merchants Exchange, San
Francisco.
Each blank has spaces for re-
cording the stocks of Is principal
commodities. including the chief
food cereals, meats, lard, oils, fish,
sugar and condensed or evaporated
milk.
Elevators, mills dealers, can
ners, bakers, confectioners, manu-
facturers, jobbers. packers, grocers,
hotels, department and general
stores dealing in groceries, and
other types of business, to the num-
Der of about 100, are required to
report their stocks not later than
Sept. 10, though an extension of
time may be granted by the secre-
tary of agriculture on special re-
quest if a good reason a be
shown.
The survey of Aug. 81, in so far
as it concerns the supplies of Is
principal foodstuffs, is a preliminary
one, to be followed by a more COM
plete one after the crops are har-
vested. For one complete schedule
the banks call for returns on 1O3
items. Blanks giving all informa-
ton have been mailed to some
$780, 900 firms, but any firm which
has not yet received these blanks
should apply at once to the
Bureau of Markets Department of
Agriculture, Washington, or to the
nearest address given above.
While the returns are required
under the law, with a heavy pen
atty for noncompliance, it is ex-
pected by the department that all
firms will consider it their patriotic
duty to fill out and return the
schedules as requested.

JURY DENIES
GILL DAMAGES
Is RETURNED IN SEVEN
HOURS

The case of George W. Gill
against the Consolidated Mines COM
pany, a $4,000 damage suit result
ing from the drowning in a water
storage tank on Columbia mountain
of Horace Gill, young son of the
plaintiff, was decided by the jury in
favor of the defendant. The ase
vas given to the jury at 4:30 Satur-
day afternoon and a verdict was re-
turned at 1880 Saturday night.
1t was understood before the jury
entered the court room that it stood
nine to three in favor of the defend
ant, but when the jury was polled
at the request of the plaintiff it was
found that it stood 10 to two and it
is said that the roll-call caused a
sudden reversal of opinion on the
part of one of the jurors.
The jury was composed of Mrs. G..
Jonasen, Oscar Steinman, Bessie j..
Auliffe, M. H. Downer, Jessie l..
Greenough, Frank Marine, AL Nc
Coy, Sophia Morgan, j. M. Houli-
han and Harry De Vote. Mrs.
Greenough and Mrs. Morgan voted
against the verdict when the jury
was polled.
The case was a peculiar n
in that it involved the drown
ing of a boy in a region
where there is no natural wa
ter. The condition of the fence
surrounding the tank, the distance of
the tank from the town and travelled
roads, the fact that young Gill was
warned shortly before he met his
death by James Fortune, another
and older boy, his ability to
realize his danger, and the peculiar
attractiveness of the tank of water
in a region where there are no nat
ural ponds or streams, were some
of the features of the case.
The Lamsa case against the Con-
solidated, arising from the drown
ing of the Lamsa boy at the same
time as young Gill, will not be
brought to trail, as under a stipula-
ton entered into between the par
ties to the suits, final judgment in
the Gill case will be accepted as
final in the Lamsa case, it being
subject to the same evidence and an
identical statement of facts.

DISTRICTS
SHIPPING PAY ORE
ADVANCE In PRICE OF SILVER
Is STIMULATING OUT
PUT

With silver lowering around the
dollar mark there is very induce
ment to increase the production of
mines carrying values in that metal
and the first effect is seen in the
constantly growing shipments from
old districts of this county. The
activity of the Louisiana Consoli-
dated Mining company is sc we'll
known that 1t is superfluous to a
much about the operations of a
property that is sending to Tono-
pah for transhipment ore a%ggregat-
ing between 200 and $50 tons a
week.
Then there is the Cornforth mine
at Bellehelen which is prepared to
ship SO tons a day If the t%ranspor-
tation could be had. Manager Joe
Cornforth has been trying to buy
or hire motor trucks for some time
but has succeeded only to a partial
degree in securing any form of
trucks owing to the fact that the
United States has contracted for
the full capacity of most of the
manufacturers of motor equipment
and deliveries for regular business
must wait until after the army has
been supplied.
For several weeks the Cornforth
mine has been sending to the West
End mill eight. tons daily of high
grade ore and today the White truck
will be commissioned to haul from
the mine to sTonopah. This will
raise the output to Is tons daily
with a valuation of $50 a ton. The
company proposes to erect a con-
c%entrating mill at the mine as soon
as materials for construction a
be delivered.
The mine is situated so miles
due east of TonOpah on the east side
of the Kawich range with a good
road leading direct to the collar of
the shaft. Mr.. Cornforth, who is
operating the mine individually, has
more ore in sight than he can ham
die and therefore is sending out
only high STRAIGHTFORWARD.
