Pete Egoscue, the newly-elected

determinable values exposed by the
preliminary work done.
THE fractured zone for 2,3O0 fee

a series of veins filled with quartz
gold values. The mine-making con
ditions are excellent. The surface
conditions are good. Two shafts sixty
feet deep show the values to that
depth, with the ore going down. In
fact, the Austin shaft at sixty feet of

"The property has great merit and
there will be no delay in determining

Austin shaft to no less than 200 feet
and then crosscut.

a fine mine will be made"

ELK0 WONDERING ABOUT PLANES

In spite of the fact that kilograms
ana letters have been sent to the gov

learned when the four big De Havi-
land planes are to come to Elko. The
first letter received some weeks ago
stated that they would be here on the
week OF July 18th. but that date has
passed with no further notification
The Salt Lake papers say that these
planes will be in that city about the
middle OF August and it may be that
Elko will be included in that flight

TORTURED FEET

Don't cut your corns. The trimming
of corns can only give temporary re-
lief at best. The cutting is apt to
cause serious complications, such as
blood poisoning, etc. The thing to do
is to rid yourself entirely of corns by
using Corn Collode. You cannot use
this preparation long without losing
all of your corns. Warm weather is
trying on your feet. but you can get
great relief by using our special foot
powder. which will stop sweating of
the feet.

P|UTE INDIAN CHIEF
HISTORIC CHARACTER

Dating from times prehistoric, Dave
Numana closed long and useful life
on his ranch at Pyramid reservation
last Sunday and was buried on Mon
day by Bishop Hunting, head of the
Episcopal church in Nevada. says the
Reno Gazette.
The Piute Indians said: big Chief
of the Piutes die, we want Big Chief
of the church to bury him."
1t is impossible to tell just how
old Captain Dave was, but he was at
least ninety. He was twice married
and left two grandchildren, who in
herit his two fine little farms.
Bishop Hunting confirmed him
couple of years ago and he has since
been very regular attendant upon all
the services. He did not take seat
in pew alongside the common peo-
pie, but sat in chair in the middle
of the aisle. Very frequently he would
interrupt to emphasize or explain
something in the sermon, in the effort
to make the way palmer to his people.
Usually he gave a short exhorta-
ton when the collection was taken,
apparently urging his flock to be
liberal.
The word Numana (Father) is Piutc
for God, and in his case the tribe did
not discriminate between their two
deities.
When asked his name Dave would
usually display medal of large size
with the words From the United
States Indian Department. Presented
to Captain Dave Numana in recogni-
ton of his meritious services as d
peace officer. w. d. C. Gibson, Indian
Agent, 1888, Grover Cleveland, Presi-
dent. U. S. A."
At the same time he received big
badge marked. Captain Dave Nu-
mana, Chief of Police, u. s. A."
There is some dispute as to his age,
but Dave claimed to have been born
April IA. 1929, at what was after
wards Unionville. In great meet
ing at Wadsworth in 1879, he was
elected to succeed Winnemucca, who
was very old and desired the success
sion settled in his lifetime, although
he lived about ten years after the
meeting. There were present: john
son Sides, Poada (Sunken Eye), Win
nemucca, Captain Sam of Virginia City,
Chief Brakenomach of saltwater,
Captain Bob of Battle Mountains
Shoshone, Chief Natchez of Lovelock
and thousand Indians.
Dave refused the crown three times
but it was forced upon him. All of
Winnemucca' family wanted him to
accept and he finally did, but he still
declared that he was only chief of the
Pyramid Lakers. He was not in the
regular royal line any more than Nat
chez or Buena Vista John.

HUMBOLDT CLAIMS
ONE MORE VICTIM

One of the saddest accidents which
have occurred in this vicinity in years
past took place yesterday afternoon
when Geo. Maurice Pope, son of Dr.
and Mrs.G.F. Pope was drowned in the
Humboldt river several hundred yards
east of the bridge crossing the river
at the foot of Bridge street. Express
sions of regret have been numerous; !;
in fact the untimely taking off of the
young man is the one topic of con-
versation.
Maurice was popular among persons
he met. He was an accomplished
piano player, well educated and a
gentleman. His father, particularly,
held him in high regard seldom at
tanned.
The drowning occurred, as near as
can be ascertained, at sos o'clock
yesterday afternoon. With Robert
Seeliger, young Pope went to the
swimming place. Seeliger swan
ahead of him a distance of seventy
five yards. entering the water first.
He saw Maurice enter the water.
swim fifteen or twenty yards, stop
moment. swim a few yards further
and then just throw up one arm and
sink. He never came to the surface
again
Great excitement was manifested
in the city when the news was
brought by other boys who had been
in swimming at the place. They were
Irwin Born, Ray Moore and Malcolm
woodward. Several men went to the
spot Immediately, dove after the body
and dragged tie river bottom with
hooks. Finally C. f. Robins dove
where Maurice was last seen and
found the body. The water at the
spot was about twelve feet deep. The
time of recovery was :37 pm, max
ing one hour and thirty-two minutes
he was under water.
Maurice was not very good SWIM
mer, but the most likely theory of
cause is that he was seized with a
cramp. 1t seems just a repitition of
the fact that the Humboldt river at
this point claims at least one life
each year. The boys physical con-
dition was perfect
Pope would have been eighteen
years of age had he lived until
August IA. He was born at the Yang
ton Indian Agency. South Dakota.
The family had lived in Winnemucca
for the past five years with the ex-
ception of time DR.. Pope was in the
army, from the medical service of
which he was recently discharged,
and time spent by Maurice and his
sister attending school at San Fran
cisco. Before that the family resi-
dence had been at Battle Mountain
since two years after the boy was
born
Mrs. Pope and daughter, Miss Mar
guerite, are in San Francisco, where
the young lady has graduated from
high school and is attending finish
ing school. Maurice also graduated
from a San Francisco high school
during the last term. He had been
here for two weeks visiting with his
father and had intended leaving the
last of this week for Berkeley to en-
ter the University of California.
Dr. Pope left this afternoon on
train number five for San Francisco,
accompanying the body. The funeral
IS to take place there, Rev. Ross Tur-
man of this city. who is now on the
coast spending vacation. will be
called to conduct the services.

money will be used in the con-
struction Of the north and south

The Ferdinand people have
been given the assurance the state

tion work and are now only wait

Bank Reduces Interest Rate.

to reduce the rate of interest on
regular bank loans from no to :
per cent, the same to take effect

4 per cent, and for II months, 5
per cent. -
