solidated Mining company of vir-
ginia City had declared an extra
dividend of 5 cents per share, pay
able on the same day as the one
heretofore declared, that is, on
March l., to stockholders of record

dend of 5 cents per share to be
declared by the Union Consolidated

HORSE MEAT TO
Be SOLD HERE
LOCAL BUTCHER TO OPEN
SHOP ON CROOK
STREET


Goldfield's, and perhaps the
states, first horsemeat market will
be started Saturday. The market
will be by name and nature The
Horsemeat Market" and will be
conducted by an expert butcher in
the old Lotus and Davis office on
Crook street.
Several weeks ago the horse
butcher announced that he was
about to embark on the new enter
prise and secured the building and
fitted it as a butcher shop. He
then prepared a corral and slaugh-
ter house on Oasis street, on the
pal. Both the shop and slaughter
house have been awaiting the ar
rival of the horses and, as the ami
mails were received here last night,
all is now we'll and the shop will
be opened Saturday.
Four horses we're received, all
colts, fresh from the range and so
frisky that the butcher has decided
it will be necessary to shoot them,
as they are so wild it is impossible
to get sufficiently neal them to
operate with the customary in
struments.
The animals are from the range
neal Ida, where a man is employ
ed to furnish all the horses that
cal be used, even If many Go,dfield
people should develop a taste like a
cat.
The dealer in equine flesh is
licensed to sell the meat and has
a ready market outside Goldfield
for by-products of slaughtering. He
also plans to prepare some of these
by-products himself and there is
no ear that any of the products
will be sold elsewhere, as a license
is required under a heavy penalty
and there Is a clear field here in
this respect, at least until the local
consumption of horsemeat becomes
popular and meets with competi-
ton.
To prove that there is nothing at
all unusual in the eating of horse

In making every day a sugar-sav-
ing day the administration states
that less sweet drinks and candy
containing sugar should be used in
war time and remarks that as a
nation twice as much sugar as has
been necessary has been used in
the past. The wise use of milk
is also urged.
Under why We Must Save
Food" the card says, The allies
need wheat and meat and fats
and sugar. They must have
of all of these than we have been
sending, more than we shall be able
to send unless we restrict u own
consumption. We car do it with
out harm, for, as a nation, we are
today eating and wasting much
! more food than we need"
The local food administrator also
announced that under recent rul-
ings of the state administration

again become effective March 10,

TROOPS CANNOT
VOTE UNDER LAW
TEST CASE WILL NOW GO TO
SUPREME COURT FOR
DECISION

That the present election law is
insufficient to give the electors of
Nevada who are in the military and
naval service an opportunity to ex-
ercise their right of franchise was
held this morning by District Judge
Langan in overruling a demurrer
filed by the state to the test suit
brought by DR.. Donald Maclean
Saturday afternoon. The demur-
rer raised all the law points in
volved.
Deputy Attorney General Pat
rick, who is representing Secretary
of State Brodigan and Adjutant
by Maclean as defendants, said
that the Ease will be taken to the
supreme court Immediately. Gov.
Boyle has stated that on the result
of the test last will rest the ques-
ton of whether or not he will call
a special session of the legislature.
Judgment was entered by Judge
Langan this morning for the plain
tiff.
The complaint raises the conten-
ton that the election law of 1899,
under which the present election
law seeks to give men in the SER
vice the right to vote, was express
ly repealed by an act of the legis-
lature of 1913. The plaintiff seeks
to enjoin the adjutant general from
furnishing the secretary of state
with a certified list of the men
from this state now in the service
and to prohibit the secretary OF
state from taking any step toward
furnishing such lei with election
supplies, alleging that the statute
does not confer authority on either
of them to perform such acts. =

COPPER ORE FOUND
IN LANDER COUNTY
ORE OF GOOD GRADE EXPOSED
IN SURFACE =.
WORKINGS

From all accounts an important
strike of copper ore has been made
on property owned by j. r. Brown.
Ed knight and Phil Blume in Buff
falo valley. The former, who ar
rived from the property Saturday.
brought a large lot of samples of
the ore which are now being eX-
hibited at the Ell Dorado hotel. The
ore undoubtedly carries a high per-
centage of copper for the samples
are impregnated with gray copper,
and Mr.. Brown says that average
samples taken from the deposit not
only assayed high in copper but
gave values from SIS to $40 in
gold and silver.
In speaking of the property, Mr..
Brown said that the claims were
located this year and the estate is
known as the Liberty Bond group
of claims.
The property is situated about
l. " AAlACo WOoI VI ooLtiC MOuAtdAA
in a range of mountains adjacent
TO Buffalo valley.
The principal work done on the
property so far consists of a cut II
feet long, five feet wide and IL feet
deep. This open cut is all in ore
and the recent sampling which gave
the above results was an average
of the ore showing in this cut. At
this opening the ore shows to be
over five feet wide. The ledge has
been traced for 5000 feet and
small openings made at different
points along it's strike show the
same character of ore that is open
ed in the cut, proving that the ore
body is continuous.
No definite plans for extensive
development work have been made
yet, but Mr.. Brown states hat
they will continue prospecting the
vein and in the spring arrange
ments will be made for more extern
sive work and ore shipments will
be sent out.-Humboldt Star.

AJAX AND BERNIE :
MAY MEET HERE
CONTEST MAY BE PROMOTED BY
y BUSINESS MEMS ASSOCIA-
TION

The Business Mems association of
Goldfield is now planning the pro-
motion of a wrestling match be-
tween Victor Ajax and Henry Berne
on the night of March IA.
Henry Berne, a brother of Will
liam Berne, was in Goldfield yester-
day and stated that he was anxious
to meet Ajax in any style match.
Henry Berne was brought here
from New York by his brother for
the particular purpose of defeating
Ajax. When William Berne and
Theophelus met in Tonopah Henry
Berne challenged Ajax and the chal-
lenge was accepted.
Yesterday Berne stated that he
was willing to meet Ajax anywhere
in any style contest, in public or
private, for a purse or for nothing
at all. AS it Is known that Ajax
feels the same way toward Berne,
except that he insists the match be
in public so that his friends may be
given an opportunity to see him dis
pose of Henry, 1t is believed there
will be little difficulty in signing
the pair.
So many months ago that most
people have forgotten about it,
Henry Berne appeared in a Pathe
News in the Exchange theater as
athletic instructor for the Los An
geles police department. He was
shown in an interesting exhibition
of his prowess in quickly overpow-
ering an assailant. He is a profess
sional athlete in many lines and a
circus strong-man performer.
On Thursday men representing
the Business Mems association plan
to go to Tonopah and interview
Berne regarding a match with Ajax
and If he is willing to wrestle for a
percentage of the gate receipts, the
only terms under which association
members say they will stage the
contest, the men will be signed for
the night of the fourteenth.

EXTENSIONS GIVEN
FLORENCE LESStES
NOT ENOUGH MONEY ON HAND
TO PAY INDEBTED
NESS

District Judge j. Emmett Walsh
has made an order on petition of
Receiver Harry b. Clapp of the
Florence mine extending to April
1 eleven leases now operating on
the property.
This was done because, according
tc the report made by the receiver
to the court, there are still INSULT
cient funds in the hands of the re-
ceiver to pay the balance due on
creditors claims and the cost of
administration of the ~receivership.
The leases were to have expired
March /.
1t is estimated that about SILL
900 will be required to pay the
next dividend, ~$10,004.5O of which
is on hand, according to the report
of the receiver, with ore estimated
to have a value of $1,000 in tran
sit. OF this $4,000, about $4,000
is being held pending a decision
in the Western Ore Purchasing
company's suit against the receiver.
This suit involves an alleged ship
ment of sailed ore by a lessee.
Compensation. to the receiver and
attorneys fees also remain to be
paid.
In November and December of
last veal it was estimated that the
total indebtedness could be paid
and the receiver discharged about
Jan. Is. This estimation was bas-
ed on the high grade of the ore
being mined at that time, but a de-
crease in the value of the ore ship
ped by lessees since then has made
necessary an extension of the leases.
The lessees now operating and
to whom extensions have been
granted are Fred Mechlin, Charles
Prandon, j. F. Henry, George Pier
son, j. E. w. Boesch, James Rock,
c. H. Ellithorpe, J. w. Van Wrinkle,
s. ID. Foreman. Steve. Barker and

ORE OUTPUT
CROWS FAST

During the past 10 days there
has been unusual activity in ore
shipping from the Battle Mountain
station to the different shelters.
Kimberly Consolidated, which is
a regular producer, has during the
past week sent out two carloads
and have two more ready for i'm
mediate shipment. This ore which
Is of high commercial value is being
mined from a stope on the 200 and
continues to grow richer IS great
er depth is obtained. In addition
to the teams already engaged the
management is contemplating the
putting on of trucks to increase
transportation.
Golf Brothers who hold one of
the best leases in the Basin have
placed 80 tons under way this week.
Jack Edison from the Lemaire
lease has shipped four cars and
Jack Kelly and Geo. Dewitt ~leasers
on the Don Macdonald property,
have kept three big teams busy for
ten days or more.
Among the new producers Juan
Belaustegui has commenced ship
ping.
On the whole the mining outlook
for the coming spring in this vi
cinity is very favorable and high
ly encouraging.-Scout.

This eminent man in his field on
that occasion advocated the use of
horse-meat as a means of fighting

ed the meat is more nutritious than
beef because any animal that works
has more nutrient qualities in its
muscles than a stalled animal or
one that does not work.
