& G.. RAILROAD
BUYS. BUILDING
NJ. AND NJ. BUILDING WILL GIVE
COMPANY MORE CENTRAL
QUARTERS

Official announcement was made
this morning of the purchase by
the Tonopah and Goldfield Railroad
company of the building on the
corner or COLUMBIA ana Ramsey
streets known as the Mitchell and
Manning building, the corner room
in which is occupied by the Drab-
nick store. The property was pur-
chased by the railroad from the
John S. Cook & Co. bank. The
purchase price has not been made
public.
The railroad company will move
into it's new quarters about April l.,
vacating it's present quarters in the
Casey building, which is owned by
the Bonanza Hotel company. What
disposition will be made of the
Casey building by the hotel COM
pany has not as yet been decided
by it's representatives in Goldfeld.
The railroad company will occupy
all of the Mitchell and Manning
building except the store now occu-
pied by Walter Drabnick and a part
of the present offices of DR.. d. A.
Turner. The traffic department will
be located on the ground floor and
the remainder of the offices will be
IN the second floor.
This move on the part of the
TonOpah and GOldfield railroad is
for the purpose of securing more
centrally located offices. The COM
pany has space far beyond it's needs
in it's present quarters and to care
for the additional space has been
renting rooms on the upper floors
as living rooms for it's employees and
others. This plan has been merely
incidental to the occupancy Of the
building by the railroad and was
adopted to care for the additional
space.

TWO RENOWNED CHARACTERS
FIRMLY SEATED ON WAGON

Dan O'Neill, who a short time ago
became seriously involved with an
alleged contraption on the county
hospital clock while an inmate
there, has for the past few days
been in Jail recovering from a COM
mon ailment. He was taken before
Judge Arnold yesterday afternoon,
charged with being intoxicated. The
Judge gave him 100 days and re-
leased him pending good behavior.
O'Neill promised that he would
climb on a wagon big enough to
hold the Pacific ocean and stay there
forevermore. The man whom
O'Neill claimed fixed the hospital
clock so that it disturbed his rest
went on a wagon of equal size three
weeks ago and has been there since.
1t is thought that if O'Neill's praise
worthy resolution holds good, the
clock will nevermore be disturbed in
it's peaceful occupation of informing
the nurses when it is time for them
to feed a patient another pill.

SHIPMENTS STARTED FROM
BARRETT SPRINGS

Today ore is being hauled from
the camp of Barrett Springs, nine
miles west of Winnemucca, for a
3O-ton carload shipment over the
Southern Pacific to a smelter. The
ore is from the property being
worked by Lee Case, Earl Williams
and Vernon Bell, and will run in
the neighborhood of $50 to the
ton.
The boys are all from Winnie
mucca and it is gratifying to note
they have opened a vein of ore
which has the earmarks Of making
into a big paying mine, as evidenced
by the shipment going out. They
are not saying much about their
property, but all are working with
the confidence that they have a
valuable estate and that other ship
ments are to follow.-Winnemucca

SMALL INCOME RUINS
LOVES YOUNG DREAM
CUPID STARVED TO DEATH ON
SALARY OF $17 PER
WEEK

Harry A. ~Blumenthal, son of Lee
~Blumenthal, was we'll known in
Goldfeld a few years ago, at a
time when his father was manager
of the Goldfeld Shoe and Clothing
company. He was known principally
as a young man of sporting pro-
clivities who worked in the store
and will be remembered by many
for his fashy dress and manner.
The San Francisco Chronicle
states that a girl whom Blumenthal
married a short time ago recently
appeared in the superior court at
San Francisco and asked that the
marriage be annuled.
In granting her request, the judge
said: at appears to be true that
this young man induced you to
marry him by making false claims
as to his station in life, but it seems
to me that a sensible girl would
take with a grain of salt nearly
everything said by a young man in
love-"
In asking for the annulment, Mrs.
Bluementhal said that before mar
riage her husband represented him
self as a wealthy man, but that she
afterwards learned his sole income
was a salary of SIT per week.

Shortage of 9

The shortage of hay and feed on
the Nevada ranges this winter will
effect the beef market in the spring
and unless the weather turns
warmer there is probability of a big
in beef, according to H. G..
Humphrey of the Union Land and
Cattle company. There has been
a shortage of feed all winter" he
says, land stockmen have used the
feed for stock cattle and have not
fed the beef steers. This accounts
for the shortage IF beef and the
correspondingly high prices" He
then says that there has not been
such a great loss of cattle this year,
but remarks that the winter is not
vet over and it is hard to tell what
will happen. 1t is also rumored
h a there is danger of many OF the
steers dying of pip before spring,
making a further shortage.

RESTAURANT FRONT
WINDOWS AND RESTAURANT
FRONT SUBJECTED TO
BOMBARDMENT

A number of diners at / o'clock
this morning in the Grand cafe, on
Ramsey street, were entertained by
one of the diners, who became
vociferOus and promiscuously threw
cups and saucers and rocks through
plate-glass windows and kicked in
the glass in the front door.
The entertainment, according to
Mark Dobro, brother of the pro-
prietor of the cafe, was furnished
by Frank Stackpoole, who, he says,
entered the place in an intoxicated
condition and became involved in a
dispute at the lunch counter with
other young men who were there.
Stackpoole's brother, Jack, al
though not with Frank, Is said to
have been in the restaurant at the
time and attempted to restore order.
but without avail. The disturber on
being elected is said to have quickly
located a rock which he hurled
through the window. He then
turned his attention to the front
door, from which he smashed the
glass, and then disappeared.
Complaint was filed and a war
rant issued for his arrest. At this
writing the offender has not been
apprehended. Young Stackpoole is
not a resident of Goldfield, but re-

APPAM CASE
IS DECIDED
SUPREME COURT RULES BRIT
ISH CLAIMANTS ENTITLED
TO PRIZE

WASHINGTON, D. c., March g.
British claimants to the German
prize ship Appam, now at Newport
News, won their suit in the supreme
court to regain possession of the
vessel and it's cargo. The court an
nulled the tariff-law clause granting
a five per cent discount in duties to
imports brought in on American
ships or ships of nations with fav-
ored treaties, holding the clause to
be unconstitutional.
The court held that the clause Is
imperative because it conflicted
with existing treaties.
The court sustained judgment in
the suit by Thompson and Company,
New York shippers, against Sir
Charles w. Cayser and other British
ship owners, for treble damages I'M
der the Sherman law for alleged
combination of steamship shipping

WHITE CAPS NOW
REAL SENSATION
FEET WITHOUT REACHING
SECONDARY WALL

The east crosscut on the White
Caps 435-foot level is piercing the
great vein at very nearly a right
angle. On Sunday the width Of the
orebody thus exposed was 33 feet,
with no indication that the opposite
wall was being approached. A fea-
ture of the face at this point was a
"vug-hole" of irregular shape, about
a foot in diameter and three feet
long. This condition is not uncom-
mon in the White Caps, and while
several different theories have been
advanced in explanation of the phe-
nomena, its n outstanding charac-
t~eristic is that the ore which sur
rounds these cells is of exceptional
being cut through is maintaining
extraordinary value. An average of
five samples taken over a width of
"a feet on Sunday yielded $103 per
ton in gold.
Of the White Caps it may be said,
to paraphrase the familiar aphorism,
while there is lime there is ore"
There is no doubt that the ore
deposition is the result of ascending
solutions, for depth on the vein
leads to increased gold content.
Also, with depth the replacement of
the lime by ore becomes more gen.
eral and complete, and the area so
replaced is of steadily increasing
magnitude. Hence, the bottom OF
the White Caps mine will not be
reached until the lime in which the
veins occur has been penetrated,
and that the lime persists to a very
great depth has been ascertained by
a close study of geologic conditions
in the Manhattan district.
The crosscut which is being
driven on the 435-foot level to
intersect the downward continue
ton of the west ore-shoot on the
third level is being advanced at a
rapid rate of progress. The west
ore-shoot was the richer of the two
on the third level and hence its
development on the fourth level is
being awaited in keen expectancy.
The White Caps mill is under
roof, with all tanks and rooster
foundation in place. The buildings
are of impressive size and are so
laid out that the strictest economy
may govern at every stage of the
treatment of ore. In the mill, as
we'll as in the mine, no factor OF
lost motion will have to be reckoned
with. The mill will treat $50 tons
of ore daily for many, many years
to come, for that the requisite tom
mage of commercial ore is in the
mine is now an assured fact.-Tono-
pah Times.

Since then, however, this tendency

One of the imperative military nee
essities" for the incredible devasta-
ton and destruction being wrought
by the Germans along the pathway of
their retreat in France is to convince
the German soldiers themselves that

the French they will be instantly shot
