FIND TELLURIUM
AT LUCKNOW

The leasing system is to be adopted
at the Faith property owned by o.
Boyle and the Watsons at the new
camp of Lucknow nine miles north of
Luning. Two blocks of ground, one
east and one west of the shaft, have
been leased. According to o,present
plans of the owners l00-foot blocks
will be leased on the following royal
ties: Ore up to $50, 10 per cent; $50 to
$50, IS per cent; $50 to $l00 ore, rs per
cent. With a good wagon road to
Luning and low freight rate to the
custom mill at Millers-$2.4C per ton
-lcsses should be able to make money
leasing with the chance of breaking in
to a bonanza. The prospect shaft is
down 80 feet and the drift that is be-
ing driven toward the badger hole in
which high-grade gold ore was first
found is in quartz-brecca, which pre-
ccdcd the ore in the shaft. Quartz
identical with the first discovery in
the badger hole has been found on
small hill 700 feet north of the origin
al discovery. Tests show the pres
ence of tcllurium and the gold undouht
edly is associated with that mineral.
In the oxidized ore it takes the form
of "emmonsite," an oxidation product
of tellurium and iron, which gives a
greenish stain.

About Freight Rates

IN order has been issued by the
+ bis service commits ion. holding
Q en- for continued Investigation the
/. tier of unreasonableness and dis
q mina,iou in freight rates TO roirt,
q short line railroads connecting with
/ = Southern Pacific.
Following the filing Of a complaint
- the Independent Cantaloupe
Growers Of Fallon against the Ameri-
can Railway Express company, the
commission on its own initiation
started an investigation into rates
charged for service over the Southern
Pacific, the Nevada Northern, Vir-
ginia & Truckee and Tonopah &
Goldiicld railroads. In Commissioner
aughnessy's opinion it is stated that
the hearing developed the fact that
rates to branch line points are unreas-
onably high. As examples are cited
the fate of II cents per hundred
weight on certain products from Fal-
Ion to Yerington, distance by rail OF
73.9 miles, which is contrasted with
the 90 l-2-cent rate to Carson City, a
distance of 81 miles, and much more
reasonable rate than either from Fal-
lon TO more distant point on the
Southern Pacific main line.
The commission found that fourth
class freight rates from Fallon to Ton
opah aud Goldfield en- less than car
load lots are higher than parcel post
rates. The same is'true Of the rates
from Reno to the mining towns
named The fourth-class freight rate
on less than carload lots from Reno
to Tonopah is $1S75 The parcel post
rate is $l.0S per hundred weight, As
rest.lt it is said that 90 per cent of
the goods shipped from the largest
wholesale grocery house in Reno to
Tonopah go by parcel post

Victim of Highbinders

Wong Lee, an aged Chinese
laundryman. was murdered in his
cabin near Nina last Saturday
night. 1t is believed he is victim
of the tong warfare now prevailing
throughout Nevada and California.
Wong Lee was found by deputy
sheriff Hamill with a bullet hole
through his heart and another shot
in his leg.
Investigation developed the fact
that the murderers came to Nina
in an automobile and departed in
the same conveyance after commit
ting the crime.
Hamill at once notified by tele-
graph all surrounding towns and
as result the Reno officers, at s
o'clock Sunday morning. arrested
three men who had just arrived in
town.
They were George Pappas, a
Greek taxi driver. and Gee Jon, 80
years old, and Hughie Sing, 10,
alleged to be hired Chinese assas-
sins.
The prisoners were brought to
the county Jail by deputies Dimock
and Hammill. The two Chinese
are held without bail, but Pappas
was released on 81 900 bail to ap-
pear as witness at the trial.
The preliminary examination will
be held at Nina September 9Th.
The Reno law firm of Morgan,
Raffetto and Frame have been re-
tained to defend the prisoners.
The two Cinnamon, Gee Jon and Sing
left Reno Saturday morning in hired
automobile driven by George Pappas
They reached Nina about o'clock in
the evening and stationed the taxi drv
er a short distance from Chinatown.
They asked him to wait fifteen minutes
AS the time exteded he left the ma
chine and went into town and had
something to eat Upon his return the
two Cinnamon were in the automobile,
and they left Immediately for Reno.
Pappas knew nothing of the murder,
so he stated
Upon arriving at Nina, Gee Jon and
Hughie Sing hunted UP their victim, an
aged Chinaman, in his cabin. Hughie
belonging to the same lodge or tong,
called upon the man to open the door,
He did so, holding lighted candle in
his hand. The other Chinaman, back
of Hughie, then fired two shots into
the victim, killing him almost instant
ly. The two then returned to the au-
tomobile and drove through to Reno.

Payment Of all taxes within the

The decision was made in a case
