Especial Correspondence


RENO, Nevada. J. Boulware, who
Is interested with James D. Finch in
mining properties in the Gold Circle
district, is spending a few days in
Reno. Mr.. Boulware confirms the
reports that others have brought out
of the recent strikes in the Elko
Prince, Missing Link, and other mines.
In addition to the original orebody
from which the company has been
paying regular dividends, the Elko
Prince has within the last few months
found two new orebodies which prom
Use to eclipse the first as wealth pro-
ducers.
The original orebody on the Elko
Prince is 600 feet long and was
opened up by a crosscut tunnel on
the 300 level. where it was fourteen
inches WIDE At the $50 level the
oreshoot is the same length, but has
widened to three feet The hanging
wall is said to be almost as smooth
as polished marble and the vein as
straight as a string.
Some months ago second orebody
was found on the 600 level, 1900 feet
north of the original. The drift here
is along the hanging wall. and shows
five feet of ore that averages $25 per
ton, with no footwall in sight.
The third orebody was found in
midsummer, 200 feet south of the
main oreshoot, and contains the rich
est ore yet found in the mine, though
the high-grade is but eight to four
teen inches in width. The manage
ment has always been reticent re-
garding values, but this particular
shoot is said to run 800 ounces silver
to the ton. in addition to good gold
values.
The Berry brothers, wealthy oper-
ators, who made their original stake
in Alaska. are developing much good
ore on the Missing Link and other
claims which they own, and it is said
that they will put on big force and
tear things wide open in the spring.
The Star Midas Mining Company
which is controlled by Finch & Boul-
ware, has two claims adjoining the
General Grant belonging to the
Berry brothers) and six claims ad-
joining the Eastern Star. in which
much good ore has been opened up.
Though less work has been done on
the Star Midas than on their more
aristocratic neighbors. they have the
extension of the veins and have had
assays as high as $50 per ton from
surface rock.

court. The will was. offered by DR.
Sullivan, and he was named as execu-
tor. His two brothers were named
as beneficiaries under the proffered
will. Legal heirs of Mrs. Strother
contested the will, which was with
drawn and the petition for probate
dropped the day following the cross

eral signatures mSde by Mrs. Strother
were offered as exhibits. along with

AFTER ALL MAKERS
OF CHEERING STUFF

That federal authorities are going
to enforce the wartime prohibition
act in this vicinity is the belief of
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue
Frank L. Reber of this city. He has
received the following letter from
William A. Kelly, chief field deputy:
"The act of congress passed for the
enforcement of wartime prohibition
places the duty of enforcing this
measure in the hands OF the COM
missioner OF internal revenue. The
commissioner has in turn delegated
the duties to this Office. The collector
is determined to do his full duty in
the premises. so 1t is up to us as field
officers to move at once in the pre-
vention of the manufacture and sale
OF malt. vinous or spurious liquors
for beverage purposes.
Within the next day or so a copy
of the law and brief of the rulings
Hereunder will be placed in your
hands and I ask you to devote as
much time as possible to the enforce
ment Of this act. The assignment is
only temporary, as an enforcement
division is to be created in the near
future. In the meantime let us
measure up to the confidence of the
people and do all in our power to see
that the will of the people. as ex-
pressed by the congress of the United
States, is carried out to the letter"

dent, Mrs. Dimock. He then moved
from a $500 office in the Longacre
Building, said Mr.. Talley, to SIS Fifth
Avenue, where he occupied half a floor
tor a yearly rental of $1,000 He had
with him three employees, whom he paid
salaries Of $75, $50 and 1925 a week.
Salaries Back IA Weeks
Miss Ethel Silverman, of 1851 Mad

tary, told Assistant District Attorney
Ialley that, although she was receiv-
ing $40 week, neither she nor anv
of the other employees had been paid

the office had not been paid for two
months, and that he was about to be

Mrs. Dimock, in a statement issued
yesterday, said:

this should be made the reason TO

Mrs. Dimock added that Harvey's re
lations with the association wer
proper. She said the $4,000 matte
was a personal affair. but that sh
would have it looked into. She sal
that Harvey was to receive per cen
commission on all money collected, an
that it would cost the association jus
half what it would cost to raise none
in any other way. She said very littl
