Many cities have recently passed such
legislation, and copies of-such rules will

in case of accident might cause them

BOWMAN BONDED
Well Known Mine on Adams Hill Is
Bonded to Hugh Leonard of
Tonopah

The Bowman group of patented
claims comprising the Bowman, Eur
opa Consolidated and Racine loca-
tions owned by Mrs. Mary Fulton and
Lyman Fulton was taken over to-day
by Hugh Leonard. who has thorough
ly examined the workings. and be-
lieves that very reasonable amount
of work will expose ore bodies similar
to those extracted some years ago.
The Bowman shaft Is 900 feet In
depth, and the Racine 400 feet. Both
are still In good condition. In COM
mon with so many other properties
of the district that were worked by
tributors, no high grade ore in pay
ing quantities is In sight, but the past
production of the claims when silver
was much lower In price than It is
now, is practically certain assurance
that further sinking and drifting
along the faults In the limestones will
show more ore bodies of the same
character. The claims lie on the east
and southeast slopes of Adams Hill.
and have always been considered good
ground by the miners acquainted with
the district.
Substantial payments are prc-.ded
for In the option given Leonard,
which also calls for continuous un-
derground work on the group of not
less than $50 shifts per month.

The screen has been moved back

a trellis frame incloses the top and

leaves are entertwined through the
lattice work, the effect being pleas

The new drop curtain harmonizes
In color with the stage settings, and
is gracefully draped on either side
when the pictures are being shown.

been received and are being placed,
which will increase the present seat

NOTES OF FORMER EuREKANs


Echoes of the long-ago are found
in the columns of the Carson Daily
Appeal, one of the Oldest daily news
papers published In Nevada. The
following excerpt. from the issue Of
April 10, 1874, a time when the Com
stock Lode was In the full height of
its glory and the Capital City was the
center OF the universe, Is character
istic Of the happy phrasing of news
stories by such masters OF the pen as
dan DeQuille," Charlie" Goodwin,
Sam Davis and their contemporaries.
What could be more graceful than
the description of bride and groomY
Henry Rives, OF whom the reporter
wrote, was one of the brilliant jur-
lists OF the palmy days Of Nevada. "a
graceful and dignified specimen Of
young, hopeful. courageous man
hood" For twenty years he was
Judge of the district comprising Eu-
reka, White Pine and Lincoln Coun-
ties, residing in Phoebe. Lincoln Coun-
ty, during the turbulent fighting,
claim-jumping days. when possession
of mining property was all of nine
points of the law. He was the broth
er of George Rives of Reno and Allen
Rives of Tonopah, who named his
first-born after the jurist. He went
to California from Nevada and passed
away from this earth in 1905. The
tribute to the young lawyer in the
Appeal was written when he was
on the threshold of an eventful life.
1t reads:
Henry Rives, Esq, of Phoebe. Just
shackled with the golden chains Of
matrimony, came here with his beau
tiful young wife yesterday. just in
time to be the recipients of the COM
pliment by their very thoughtful
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Adrian Ellis.
The bride was lovely; the groom q
graceful and dignified specimen Of
young, hopeful, courageousm manhood /;
and the entertainment had the glow
and heartiness of an old-time ebulli-
tion of real, genuine hospitality. We
beg leave to tender our congratula-
tions to the new-made man and wife.
