Fatal Auto Accident
On Hazen Highway
Mrs. Alice Hoy Crushed to Death
When Steering Bolt Loosens;
Others Escape Injury

A fatal automobile accident on the
highway between this city and Hazen
Monday night, which resulted in the
death of Mrs. Alice E. Hoy, has
thrown this community into sorrow
as the lady was one of the best known
and popular of the valley and has
long been surrounded by a large
circle of friends and relatives.
Frank Hoy. her son, came In from
the eastern part of the state Monday
to spend the winter here and found
that friend of the fomily, Mr.. J. r.
Blame, was to arrive on the late train
al Hazen, coming from Elko. A party
composed of his mother and his sig
ter Mrs. Jesse Campbell, joined him
on the trip to Hazen. All went well
on the trip down where Mr.. Blame
was picked up and the party started
home.
Steering Pinion Broke
As the machine was moving along
at a conservative speed it suddenly
commenced to we're in the new gravel
that has been spread near Hazen. Be-
fore control could be gained the ma
chine turned over throwing part Of
the occupants out and pinioning Mrs.
Hoy and her son Frank. who was
driving, under it. Efforts were at
once made to extract the two. Mr..
Hoy through the aid of the others
was taken from under the car, and
later Mrs. Hoy was taken out, but
was dead when relieved from the
pressure. 1t is supposed that death
was instantaneous in her case. The
weight of the car was on her chest.
At the inquest held Monday 1t de-
veloped that the pinion of the steer
ing kiuekle had become lost and
this threw the car out of control. A
verdict of accidental death according
to this fact was returned.

early resumption of both mining and

Work during the summer and fall
on the property shows substantial
amount of ore of milling value de-
veloped. Some sensational values
have been uncovered, but 1t is the
mill grade that has determined the
company to resume operations.
Talapusa Shipping
The Prosky holdings in the old
Talapusa district have been shipping
recently and there is promise of
more development in the district.
jesse Christensen and associates who
are operating in the district expect
TO make additional shipment OF high

To Add Mill
Jud Terrell, of the camp of the
same name, is making preparations
to erect a quartz mill In the early
spring to treat the large accumula-
tion of ore that has been sorted from
the high grade that has been shipped
during the past few years There is
enough in sight to keep this mill
running for several years without
further extraction.
During the fall and winter Mr.
Terrell has opened some excellent ore
and another shipment is raedy for
the smelters. This is one of the few
properties in the state that pays its
own way and leaves a profit to the
owner. During the period when sill

spring. as buyers have been over the
valley contracting for practically
everything in sight for shipments
east and west, with most of the crop
moving toward the coast. Prices have
ranged from S14 to S14.50, while
some has been contracted for at SO

Several of the hay growers are
holding for a still further price and
it may be obtained should unfavor-
able weather continue in California
Several buyers confess that hay is
short on the coast and that feed is
short owing to lack of rain and cold
weather Parties coming from the
coast declare that the weather is un-
usually cold for the season and that
sheep men on the other side are wor-

Mrs. G. G. Fowler Meets Death As
Husband Works Within Short
Distance of Flames

Last Wednesday morning one of
the most distressing accidents thar
has happened on the project in many
months when Mrs. c. G. Fowler met
her death In flames that consumed
the house and its contents. The home
which is about eleven miles south
from this city was occupied by Mr.

and after milking Mr.. Fowler went

MINING REVIVAL PROMISE
THRO RECENT FINDS

There promises to be a general
mining revival In this section as at
the present time more attention is
being paid to this impor tant industry
than at any time in the past several
years, or since Wonder closed down
and dismantled the holdings of the
company.
Fairview Strike Important
The discovery some two months
go of a pay channel near Fairyiew
Peak by Frank Wilson is one of the
important discoveries in Nevada in
some time. Following his first open
ng of placer gold In two shafts others
ave been sinking and in no instance
has there been a complete skunk"
in the paintings 1t is stated that
from the present developments that
there is enough In sight to keep a
number of men engaged for several
years at more than wages.
Aside from the Wilson shafts the
O'eonner shaft has encountered pay
while the Branch and Anderson
shafts are showing colors that are
most encouraging. Others who are
sinking are Young and Oltz on the
Wilson ground under lease, J. T.
Rushby, L. w. Hunt, Joe Droke and
Hersh and Hersh who are operating
on the Knight ground. In all nearly
fifty men are now engaged in pros
peeting and mining in the district.
Lode Claims
Following the discovery OF placer
gold hunt for its source began and
from present indications the camp
will eventually turn to lode mining
section. On the Knight claim some
sensational float has been found
from time to time while excellent
milling values in gold have already
been developed on the main property
Those who came in during the week
declare the Knight ground is the
making of a milling proposition from
the grass roots down.
Others are hunting In the porphyry
dykes and In many instances panning
of gold are being shown. There is
every indication that before spring
that the new camp OF Wilson will be
among the mining attractions of Ne
vada.

marked, went out.
The spuds were sacked and the
sacks branded that the whole world
might know that they came from the
Lionberger farm at Fallon.

that gets the results. The price was
paid for the netted gems and they
