Officer 666,

Another packed house witnessed
the production of "Offcer 666" by the
Winninger Players at the Grand last
night which scored another success
with Keokuk theatre goers who are
not slow in recognizing high class
attraction. A fine cast, good acting
and excellent scenery made this
pleasant comedy a source Of delight
to the audience.
As Police Officer Michael Phelan
No 6e6, John D. Winninger proved
himself an adept at comedy work and
he filled the part in a manner that
kept the spectators In smiles through
out. The other members Of the cast
were Exceptionally good and their
presentation of Augustin McHugh'5
moving comedy was high class in
every respect and second to none.
Not the least OF the company's fea-
lures is the vaudeville acts between
curtains. Last night these proved to
be delightful especially the singing

up to every expectation as high class

are putting on here at popular rices
compare favorably with any of the

evident that they have already won

YOUTH IS FOUND
HIDDEN IN ROOM
CONFESSES TO BREAKING INTO
ROOMS OF AN ABSENT
ATTORNEY

Joe Corneilson, a 17-year-old boy,
was found this morning hiding in a
building on Crook street formerly
occupied by Attorney ID. II. Kehoe.
The boy was discovered by Attorney
Frances McNulty, who took him to
the sheriff's office, where he was
placed under arrest and put in Jail.
The rooms had been thoroughly ran
sacked, apparently in a search for
articles of value. Nothing had been
stolen, SO far as is known.
The owner is nov in Reno and in
his absence McNulty has occasionally
been going to the building to see
that nothing is disturbed. He went
there this morning and on entering
found articles scattered about the
floor of the rooms, He walked
through the hallway to the rear door
and found it locked. He then no.
tees that a window in a real room
was broken and hat entrance had
been gained in that way.
An iron door leading into a store
room, in which books and records
of mining companies had been kept
in the early days of the camp. was
open. McNulty entered the room
and found Corneilson standing close
against the wall in a corner of the
room.
The boy first told the attorney
that he had seen other boys outside
the building and was just looking
around" He later confessed his
reason for being in the building by
telling McNulty that if he would let
him off he would never again go
neal the place.
A wire screen on the window
through which the boy entered had
been cut at the bottom. A hole had
been broken in the glass and a catch
in the side of the window frame had
been released from the inside with a
knife. A stick from the top of the
window frame, holding down the
lower part Of the window, had been
shaken loose and was found on the
floor unde. the window. Wire nip
pers were found in the front room.
The hoy has a mother and broth

LOCAL MEN GET
C|NNABAR MINE
ORGANIZE NEW COMPANY TO
OPERATE NEAR OLD BELLE
WILLIE CAMP

The Mount Montgomery Mercury
company has been incorporated,
for the purpose of operating a Gin
nabar property which Is regarded
as valuable and which is situated
a short distance west of the old
camp of Belleville. Development
work is now in progress and a tun-
mel will be driven to explore the
veins in which cinnabar ore OF
good grade appears near the sur
face over the considerable distance.
Men who have been operating in
the Belleville district for some time
past are at the head of the COM
pany, the officers of which are F..
C. Beedle, president; A. G. Har-
baugh, vic~e-president, and A. J..
Bogard, Jr., secretary. All these
men are well known in Goldfield.
The Belleville failing association
has lately paid another dividend
to its stockholders. amounting to
$50 per share. This company is
engaged in working over the tail
ings from the old Belleville mill.

the vein on the fOotwall side of the
mineralized zone has been reached
and gives values of $36.79 in gold
and silver and copper. The Hahn
tunnel is in 526 feet towards the
ranging wall and apparently is
nearing the contact vein that they
ave looking for as the face shows
considerable copper stain and some
sulphide.

Will take charge or the working

The company will install a hoist

COUNTRIES DON'T
MANAGE BUSINESS
ERNMENTS OF NATIONS
NOW AT WAR

NEW YORK, May 16.-Contrary
to the common understanding in the
United States, there has been very
little direct management of business
by the governments of Great Bri-
tain and France in those countries
since the war began, according to
a report on 1.-The relation of the
government to war industry" made
to the national civic federation by
Prof. jeremiah w. jerks.
There has been, however, Prof.
jerks explains. a rather strict
regulation" of industries producing
or handling war supplies, but vir-
tually no direct management Of
business outside the regular gov
eminent %arsenals and certain special
factories, few in number, built by or

HILLTOP MINES
IN FINE SHAPE
WINTER WORK HAS BLOCKED
OUT LARGE TONNAGE FOR
MILLING

Hilltop will have the best season
il it's history this summer.
E. Ross Carver, general manager
for the Kimberly Consolidated, came
home last Saturday after In absence
of five months in the east, with plans
for carrying on heavier operations
than at any time before.
While he had not been up to the
mines, he said that according to re-
ports, the development work of the
winter had blocked out some 5000
tons of ore which would be a good
starter for the reduction plant which
will handle so tons daily this sum-
mer and fall.
This development work has opened
up a e body of ore at the 10O-foot
level in a cross-cut from n of the
main drifts. A four-foot vein, par
alleled by another Is feet away,
show good milling ore as far a S
p%rospected.
This year." said Mr.. Carver, 1--WE
operate the mill, using the all-slime
cyanide plant, whereas last year we
used the plates only. We will han
die so tom daily and make ship
ments of bullion and precipitates.
We have been working a crew of 80
to 40 men and will put on more"
Speaking of the cyanide emergen-
cy, Mr.. Carver said he had been
watching developments closely and
believed that the two new mills DON
to start in New Jersey and Virginia
would materially help the high
priced situation of this very neces-
sary commodity to the mining indus
try of Nevada.
He also expressed a belief that the
blacklist of England against Mag
ara Falls cyanide plants might soon
be lifted, much to the relief of Ne
vada operators.
While in the east Mr.. Carver paid
much attention to copper opinion.
He said in a nutshell that whether
the war goes on or stops, there will
be no return to starvation prices for
the red metal. If the war stops, re-
placements must be made for all the
great wastage on the battlfields and
this will keep copper on the high
Battle Mountain Scout.

WHITE CAPS MILL
TO START IN JULY
DEVELOPMENT WORK Is BEING
PRESSED FORWARD IN
THE NINE

1t was officially stated last we
ming that the new White Caps mill
will be treating ore by the latter
part of June; that construction of
the building and installation of ma
chinery are going ahead at a rapid
rate and unless something unfore-
seen occurs, the first of July will
find a nice tonnage already treated
and a high percentage of the values
seing secured. One member of the
company said yesterday hat he had
enough confidence in the mine to
predict that it will be paying divi-
dends by the end of the year.
Sinking of the three-compartment
shaft from the 425 to the 550-foot
level is being rushed with three
crews of miners working.
AS Don as the shaft is completed
ii is planned to cut a station and
start prosecuting for the east and
west orebodies. 1t is believed that
the east orebody will be encountered
at no great distance from the shaft.

The condition of John Clingan,
who on the night of April Z sus-
tanned a broken neck in a fall of
rock in the Mohawk mine, is re-

down, but he has now regained the
use of his entire body with the ex-
ception of the right arm and is
now able to move the fingers of the

Throughout the ordeal Clingan
has remained cheerful. He is al
