DOES ANYBODY HERE
KNOW B.. R.. SMITH?
AUTHORSHIP OF SLANDEROUS
COMMUNICATION EXCITES
CURIOSITY

Somebody using the name of
"B. r. Smith" wrote to the Sacra-
mento Bee under date of March 1,
which published in it's issue of
March 6 the communication that
follows. The Tribune is reproduc-
ing it for reasons explained in its
editorial columns of this issue.
Being repeatedly asked if it knows
Mr.. Smith, it has had to answer
that it does not. Do you?
ITO the Editor of the Bee-Sir:
If Rev. Paul Smith is such a won
derful man to drive out fallen
women and do good, I wish he
would come to Goldfield, New, and
start a crusade.
There is a redlight district here,
but the girls are barely making a
living. There are many women and
girls who live in shacks through all
parts of the town and make their
living from the weak-brained and
narrow-minded men.
There is a girl not more than 20
who lives just on the outskirts of
Goldfeld that keeps a very tough
place. All kinds and nationalities
go there.
"The matter has been reported to
the sheriff several times, but he
makes no fuss about it. A decent
woman can hardly walk the streets
without being insulted by a drunken
man. There are twenty-seven sa-
looms here with three grocery stores
in the main part of town. There
are four churches.
81 attended a local church. I was
surprised to see so few people there.
The minister spoke like a disguised
man, and when the hat was passed
around | noticed nothing larger than
10 cents. l saw no s~ociability what
ever, and wondered how he made a
living.
81 have heard it said lots of men
and women who live here are not
married.
women and young girls frequent
the beerhall and wineroom. There
is a woman's club here, but it does
little good, and l often think how
long would such women live in a
decent place like California.
There was a railroad man killed
his wife and then himself here last
winter because she kept other men
about the house in his absence. But
it seems like few women took a les
son from that. Now, Rev. Smith,
please come to Goldfeld and start
a crusade and stay until it is fin
ished. "B. r. SMITH.

CARRANZA WILLING TO PERMIT
EXTENSION OF TIME FOR
AFFIDAVITS

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Own-
ers of idle American mining prop
critics in Mexico may yet secure
exemption from General Carranza's
recent confiscation decree if they
file Immediately with the Carranza
government their reasons for not
resuming operations and make ap-
plication for extension of their con-
cessions.
Ambassador Fletcher notified the
state department that he had been
assured such applications would be
granted if accompanied by the
proper data regarding the property
in question and by a statement of
how soon the mining work inter
rupted by the revolution can be
resumed.
The ambassador said, however,
that it was imperative for applica-
tons to be filed Immediately if con-
~fiscation is to be avoided.

CONVERTS HOUSE
INTO COMPLETE LOSS
RESIDENCE OF T.. q. SCHULTZ
OF WATER COMPANY
DESTROYED

Fire at noon today almost COM
pletely destroyed the three-rOom
residence of e. G. Schultz of the
Consolidated Water company, stu
ated in the 100 block on North
Euclid street, and did considerable
damage to the residence of former
Deputy Sheriff John Shirley, which
is Immediately north of the Schultz
residence. The ROO of the Shirley
house was damaged by fire and the
interior of the south portion was
damaged by water. The damage to
the Shirley residence can be easily
repaired. but the Schultz house is
a total loss. No insurance is
carried.
The fire originated presumably
from a defective fue in the kitchen
of the Schultz house, the ceiling
taking fire and the flames quickly
spreading to the other rooms
1t was beyond control when the
iremen arrived and for a time it
appeared that the Shirley house was
doomed, as there is little space
between the two and the fire was
hottest on that side.
No one was in the kitchen when
the fire started and the real cause
ceiling was protected by a safety
where the stovepipe passed through
it.

BONANZA MINE
HAS RICH ORE
ORE CARRIES HORNSlLNER AMI
Is DISCLOSED IN NEW
LEDGE

A rich strike has been made in
the 1OO-foot level in a drift $50 feet
west of the main working shaft of
the Bonanza mine, on Winnemucca
mountain. The ore carries large
quantities of hornsilver n steph-
ante and is being disclosed in a new
ledge that runs parallel with the
old vein which a followed down
200 feet from the surface. This is
the vein hat furnished the ore for
the company's new 50-ton cyanide
mill, and is mostly g~old-bearing,
carrying a rich electrum ore in
different places in the workings.
The geological conditions of the
new ledge are different from those
found in the old vein, and instead
of one of the walls being lime, both
walls are porphyry. Another notable
feature is that instead of the high
gold values, the ore from the new
vein carries practically all silver
values, The Importance of the new
find is that it is a ledge over

covery was made while drifting on
a fault line from the old vein.
J.. r. Turner, superintendent OF
the property, states that he has
penetrated the new orebody for 20
feet and the rich ore still shows
plentifully in the face of the drift.
There is a streak three feet wide
hat assays from 80 to 1000 ounces
in silver to the ton. The rich vein
has not been determined on the 200
foot level as yet, but Mr.. Turner has
every confidence that it will be
encountered as soon as the shaft is
extended in the direction of the dip.
A large number of samples of ore
from the rich strike We're brought
to town by Superintendent Turner
and left at the company's office in
the Eldorado hotel building. The
ore resembles to great extent the
valuable ore extracted from the
mines of Tonopah during the leas-
ing days of that famous camp.
This latest strike in the property
of the Winnemucca Mountain Min
ing company is undoubtedly n of
the greatest made in this section
of Humboldt county since the dis
coveries of the rich mines in the
National district some years ago

LEASERS TO RESUME
ON BUCKSKIN MARY

President p. w. Campbell of the
Buckskin Mary mine at National re-
ports that he has given a lease on
the property to Tom Defenbaugh
and Roy Gayer. Mr.. Defenbaugh is
the we'll known National merchant
and mining man, and Mr.. Gayer is
the man who first discovered high.
grade in the National Mine.
The lessees have raised ample
funds in the east and as soon as
weather conditions will permit will
continue driving the tunnel, which
is now in 200 feet. 1t will be ex-
tended for a distance of approx
mately 500 feet, to cut what is
known as the Bell vein.
The Buckskin Mary is one of the
most promising properties in the
National district, and its develop
ment will be watched with keen
interest by the stockholders.-Win-

MILL WILL BE BROUGHT INTO
COMMISSION WITH MODERA-
TION OF WEATHER

Another carload of ore has been
received by the Lynn Big Six Min
ing company from it's property near
Carlin, New, says the salt Lake
Herald Republican. Supt. w. w.
Ruby accompanied the lot to Salt
Lake and it was found to average
$50 a ton, or worth about $1,000
for the lot of 50 tons. The super
intendent reports that the new mill
will start up a week after the
weather moderates.
Mr.. Ruby reports a very salts

BIG MINERAL FIND
ON BADGER MINE
MARIETTA DISTRICT SHOWING
GREAT AMOUNT OF
ACTIVITY

Our old friend H. K. Skinner,
one of the pioneer mining operators
of the Marietta district, was in Nina
this week on business matters. Mr..
Skinner has made an ore strike or
his Badger property that will put
him in the money. He has the
tunnel in for a distance of 1876 feet,
with a vertical depth of 100 feet.
In driving the tunnel he cut a ledge
from which he is nov sacking ore
for shipment. The shipment will
average 1925 per ton net. The
values in the ore run 60 per cent
lead, with the balance carried in
silver with several dollars in gold.
One hundred feet above the tunnel
on the same ledge he has opened up
an ore vein 20 inches in width
which carries 800 ounces in silver
and 40 per cent lead. A previous
shipment from this property milled
better than 500 a ton when both
lead and silver were selling at a
much lower figure than they are
now. Mr.. Skinner has worked long
and faithfully in the development of
his property and is highly deserving
of his good fortune.
Just across the canyon from the
Badger property, on the same lode
vein, Chas. Miller has made a
strike that would prove sensational
in any other mining camp. While
the ledge so far hasn't developed
a phenomenal width, the ore now
being sacked runs 60 per cent lead,
As ounces silver and 500 per ton
gold in values. The Miller property
endlines on the Badger and the
ledge upon which both properties
are working is tracable for over
1000 feet, is strong and well de-
fined. Both Skinner and Miller
stand to make a big cleanup on the
ore they are now sacking for ship
ment.
At Huntoon, a short distance
from Marietta, Manager D. B. East
nan has a force of men doing pre-
liminary work on the estate of the
Esmond Copper company. The work
consists in trenching on the differ
ent lodges for the purpose of samp-
ling the ground and arriving at the
right method of operating the COM
pany's holdings, which are to be
along extensive lines. The show
ings being made at present are all
that could be desired.-Mina Miner.

OF MRS. YANKEE
DIES At ADVANCED AGE
HIGHLY ESTEEMED BY
FRIENDS

Edward S. Hall, 80, a longtime
resident of Goldfield, having resided
here for eight years, died this morn
ing following a long illness. Death
was due to hardening of the ar
teries.
Although Mr.. Hall was a ma
tive of England, having been born
in Manchester, he was true to his
adopted country. A naturalized
American, he was proud of his
country, and at all times took an
active interest in the upgrowth of
this country.
Owing to his advanced age and
the fact that his health was i'm
paired. Mr.. Hall was not gen
orally known to Goldfeldites. To
those few people that he did know
he was highly esteemed and his
death leaves a void that will be
hard to fill.
Upon his arrival in the United
States, he first located in Wyoming,
where he became engaged in the
cattle business. He met with great
success in this avocation.
OF late years he had made his
home with his daughter, Mrs. e. S.
Yankee, who resides at 429 South
Bellevue avenue
Following his retirement from the
cattle business in Wyoming, Mr..
Hall was associated with the
Union Pacific and Oregon Short
Line railroads, holding many posi-
lions of trust. Honorable and
straightforward in his dealings
with his fellow men, he weaved
around him a legion of friends who
deeply mourn with his surviving
relatives over his demise.
Funeral services will be held at
4 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon from
Dunn's undertaking parlors. The
services will be under the auspices
of the Christian Science church.

Water Law Is Upheld

The water law of 1913 as amend
ed in 1915 was held to be constitu-

DISTRICT
SHOWS ACTIVITY
NUMEROUS PROPERTIES MAKE
SPLENDID SHOWING WITH
DEVELOPMENT

A. G.. Burritt, a mining engineer
of Salt Lake, who visited Eureka
several months g and took a lease
and bond of the Lucidtufa group Oh
three claims on Prospect mountain,
owned by Alfred and Will Huebner'
this week made the first payment on
the property by depositing $1,000 TO
the credit OF the Huebners in a Salt
Lake bank, the balance of the or1gl-
nal price-S5O00-to be paid at
stated intervals. An additional sum
to take care of the payroll n
supplies was also deposited and IL
is understood that Mr.. Burritt, who
has recently been confined to MS
home by illness, will come to
Eureka as soon as his health n
the weather permit and start active
development work on the property.
The Lucidtufa group of claims is
located in California gulch, adjoin-
ing the California and Connolly
mines on the west, and is generally
considered a most promising prop
erty. A force of four men has been
engaged for the past two
in doing development work on these
claims, and the favorable showing
made satisfied Mr.. Burritt and the
property was taken over.
/ The Richmond-Eureka company,
on Ruby hill, has another nice lot OF
ore ready for shipment to the
smelters as soon as the roads VIII
permit of teams hauling.
Ben Repetto, D.. Ferovin1 n
Julius Minoletti have leased n
bonded a group of three claims at
Mt. Hope owned by P. Paroni, M. r.
! Murphy and Mrs. w. H. Sweeney,
and Ferovini and Minoletti left Eu~
reka by team yesterday morning
with a load of bedding and camp
supplies and will commence develop
ment on the property at once.
With a force of six men the Cali
fornia mine, on Prospect mountain,
is stacking up a pile of ore for
shipment as 500 as the roads Will
permit of hauling. 1t is understood
the Connolly and California mines
have now decided to combine forces
and open up the roads to their
properties within the next few days,
and unless another storm interferes
shipments of ore off the mountain
should be resumed some time next
week.
The work of sinking the double
compartment shaft on the Connolly
mine, on Prospect mountain, goes
steadily on, with three eight-hour
shifts working. Engine and other
troubles have recently somewhat de-
layed progress, but the shaft is still
going down and has now reached a
depth of $40 feet. A drift was
started from the 20O-foot level this
week to get under a body of ore left
by leasers when the property was
taken over by the present owners,
and to make a connection with old
workings that will assist in giving
better air in the shaft.-Eureka
