SWEETWATER AGAIN
A MINING CENTER
HIGH-GRADE ORE DISCOVERED
AND SEVERAL PROPER
IVES WORKING

E. Chaplin Gard, a New York min
ing man, was in town Monday
on his return from the Sweetwater
section where he spent the past sew
eral weeks inspecting properties and
looking after interests of himself
and associates. He contends that
the Sweetwater section is sure to
become one of the greatest mining
centers in Nevada and looks for
great activity next spring.
Within forty rods of Yparraguer-
res house Mr.. Gard located a big
copper property and declares that 1T
has the making of one of the big
gest mines in Nevada. At presen:
there are 25 to SO men still at work
in the Silverado AMI their mill is
nearly completed. They are taking
out 500 and $500 ore and Mr.. Gard
believes that the district has the
largest ledge and richest ore on the
surface of any place of it's size in
the United states.
Five properties are being worked
in the Sweetwater section at this
time, they being the Panama, Mt.
Patterson, Great Western, Silverado
and the Old Kentuck.
Mr.. Gard claims the distinction
OF having established the first news
paper in Cripple Creek and has been
in the mining business a great many
years. He declares that in the
sIling Sweetwater will become a
great mining camp, but does not
advise prospecting there at this
time, owing to the lateness of the
season.-Gardnerville Courier.

From the Charleston Hill National
Mines company comes the report
that a cross-cut tunnel is being run
to cut the Equator vein at depth.
This vein, the company reports, has
been opened on the surface, is we'll
defined and had good values in the
work done on the surface.
A cross-cut tunnel is being driven
to tap the Auto vein on the Auto
Fill property being worked under

ALUNITE NINE
IN LITIGATION
LEGAL BATTLE BEGINS WITH
PLEA FOR AN INJUNC-
TON

The first skirmish in the legal
battle for possession of the alunite
mining property at Sulphur is on
in the district court before Judge
Quicker. The plaintiff in the case
is Frank B. Stevens of Salt Lake
City and the defendants are j. c.
Clark, ]. d. Knox and James H.
Mays, the latter being congressman
from Utah. The plaintiff is repre-
sented by Callahan & Brandon and
Congressman Mays by Frank E. Hol-
man of Salt Lake City and Salter &
Robins.
Before Attorney Holman could ap-
pear in the case it was necessary for
him to be admitted t the bar in
this state, which IA done by a
telephone message from Chief JUS
tice McCarren at Carson City.
The present hearing is on a re-
turn of the restraining order issued
Nov. "a, the defendants being noti-
fled to appear in court today and
show cause why they should not be
enjoined during the tendency of the
suit from entering upon the prop
erty in dispute.
The legal battle is for the possess
sion of 22 claims on which a deposit
of alunite of considerable value is
said to have been discovered.
Stevens, the plaintiff, claims to
have purchased the claims for him
self and Salt Lake associates from
Clark and Knox and to have received
a deed for the property. This claim
to title is being contested by the de-
PENDANTS and it is understood that
Congressman Mays also received a
deed for the property. Both deeds
are of record, that OF Mays having
been recorded first. - Humboldt

CUT Veins ON
N|XON-NEvADA
EXPOSED COPPER
DEPOSITS

COPPERFIELD, New, Dec. 15.-
The weeks report from the Nixon
Nevada mine in the camp of Cop
perfield, north Of Reno, states that
a raise will be put up on the ore
near the face of the north drift on
the No. 1 vein, with the object of
determining the extent of the new
crebody above the drift. This
drift is now out $50 feet from the
cross-cut and the ore-shoot which
is being opened up is the second one
found in the No. l vein-the first
being 200 feet long and the ore very
high grade.
The drift on the No. 2 vein is out
100 feet from the cross-cut and is
also in a new orebody. The cross
cut has not yet entered the No. 4
vein, though the favorable indica-
items of copper stains and small
stringers still persist.
John M. Baker, the Boston en-
gineer, has completed the survey
of eight veins and will make a
map of the property. He is enthus-
iastic over the new vein which was
opened up last week. The veins
all show good values, with heavy
quartz groupings, and five are par
ticularly promising. The vein fill
ing and walls are the same on all
and show true fissure formation.
The association of well-known
business and financial interests with
the management of the Nixon-Ne-
yada means a great deal for this
section and for Nevada mining in
general.

RED CROSS DRIVE
HAS GOOD RtsULT%
WESTERN DIVISION MAKING
PROGRESS IN FILLING
IT'S QUOTA

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Dec. IS
Marshal Hale, manager of the Pa
citic division, American Red Cross,
and w. l.. Hathaway, chairman of
the Christmas membership drive in
this division, are pleased with the
work that is being done in this divi-
sion and believe that the final days
will bring the quota of $4,000 new
members required. From every To-
calIty in Arizona, Nevada and Cali
fornia come reports of enthusiasm
for the work.
In a message from Henry p.
Dawson, chairman of the national
war council of the Red Cross, a
special appeal has been made to
the college men, in which Dawson
says The Red Cross is the army
behind the army and the navy be-
lima the navy"
Dawson points to the fact that the
colleges and the universities have
sent out thousands of the best fit
ted men physically and mentally,
but that many who have been COM
PEELED to stay at home must realize
that their work is just as important
by aiding the Red Cross at home.
Speakers are carrying the Red
Cross message to all parts of the
division. The Four-minute Men,
through William Mccormick Blair,
national director of the organiza-
ton, are enlisted in every state and
the lyceum bureaus are providing
their best speakers, who serve with
out pay. and may be called for.

Although manydrawbacks have
been met in repairing the Douglas
Power dam on the Carson river, the
work of filling q big hole below the
dam has been accomplished. the last
oI the concrete used in the repair
work having been poured a few days
ago. A part of the foundation of
the dam rested on a false bedrock
and when the reservoir filled with
water last spring the pressure push
ca out this part of the dam, tear
ing a hole ~ feet deep OIL the
east side. At first it was thought
that the repair work would amount
20 little, but time proved that it was
a greater task than building the
dam itself.

MASKED MARVEL
IS NOW IN TOWN
NATIONALLY RENOWNED MYS-
Terry HAS BEEN HERE
SINCE FRIDAY

The mysterious Masked Marvel is
in town. He is the wrestler who
is signed to meet William Berne in
a finish catch-as-catch-can match
in Tonopah on the afternoon of
Christmas day.
Many Goldfield people nave seen
motion pictures of the Masked Mar
vel. but have forgotten him.
He appeared in the movies here
last sumner in an exposition of the
worlds greatest athletes, the pic
ture having been taken when he
first created a sensation in New
York.
The Marvel has been here since
F riday, it is believed, but only one
or two have seen him and they say
they do not know who he is and
no one has been permitted to talk
to him by Victor Ajax, under whose
management he o is. Those
who claim to have seen him state
that he weighs about 100 pounds
and if of powerful build.
1t is said that this is the first
occasion on which the Marvel has
been in a high altitude and hat he
is now devoting all his time to
road work in an effort to correct
his wind before appearing on the
NAT in public. 1t is rumored that
mis- wind is poor, but that the great
a!nount of road work he is doing
will fast put him in condition. 1t
is said he will appear in public in
a short time. He appears complete
Iy masked in training.
Tonopah Slavs, supporters of
Berne, have been engaged in guess
ing at the identity of the masked
mystery and on his appearance in
training here local sports will have
the same privilege.
People who claim to know the
sentiment of Goldfield fans say a
move is about to be made here to
attempt to induce the promoters Of
the event to change the hour to
some time in the evening.
