CHINESE MINER
LANDS IN JAIL

Lanquishing in the Washoe count,
jail is Charles Poy, Chinese min
ing man of Tonopah, who gained
considerable prominence a little
over two years ago, by realizing
about $4,000 as a result of a grub
stake furnished to B. F. Belts, who
discovered a rich ore body on the
Golden Eagle claim of the Hudson
Mining company, operating at what
was later known as Camp Royston
Poy is said to be penniless, hav-
ing lost his wealth through prose
cutting other mining operations, and
has been unable to furnish bonds
in the sum Of $1,000 to await the
action Of the next federal grand
jury which will convene some time
next month.
Previous to the Belts mineral dis
covery in which Poy shared the net
earning of $4,000, there being
four partners, he was arrested upon
a charge Of violating the narcotic
laws Of this country. He entered a
plea of guilty and escaped with a
senence Of four months in Jail.
Within a week following his in
generation Belts, his partner, visit
ed the Nye county jail, where Poy
was serving time, and handed him
$4,000, the earnings of the first
shipment.
When he had concluded his SEN
tence Poy took up his residence at
Camp Royston and proceeded to
operate on a large scale. As almost
all ground was operated under the
leasing system miners would induce
Poy to purchase their privileges, but
in every instance the ore shoots
petered out and financial loss re-
suited.
Poy finally returned to Tonopah,
where he purchased a number of
small cabins which he Furnished
and rented to members Of his race
and to miners who preferred batch
ing" However, his realty holdings
are not Of sufficient value to war
rent anyone qualifying as bonds
man and when he was arrested the
second time he was ordered COM
mitted to the Washoe county Jail
to await the action of the coming
federal grand jury.
Poy says the world is certainly
cruel. He was always liberal in fl
nancing prospectors, and those of
whom he helped, not one Is in a DO
sition to assist him in his present
trouble, As much as they might de-
sire. Reno Journal.

NEWSPAPER MEN DO FISTIc
BATTLE OVER ELY WAY

Apparently all is not well, po-
litically and otherwise, in White
Pine county, if outsiders are to
judge by frequent happenings there
abouts which break into public
print. The latest is that Vail M.
Pittman, brother of the senator, and
editor and manager of the Ely
Times, and L. C. Branson, author Of
"Babbling Brooks" the humorous
column in the White Pine News and
general writer for that paper, en-
gagged in a fast fist fight Monday
morning, which resulted in Pittman
receiving a fine of $50. He after
wards announced that he would ap-
peal the case to the district court.
Versions of the affair differ ma
terially as to the cause for the
scrap.

Anthony Zurich, bombastic lawyer
Of Ely. was fined $25 by Judge Nc
fadden last week, the reason being
given that Zurich was twenty min
utes late in getting to court. Zurich,
it will be remembered, was the NOV
ing spirit in the Nevada assembly
during the last session in an un-
successful attempt to impeach Judge
McFadden, and has also been the
mover recently in an attempt to
force the Nevada Northern to put
on shift trains, as well as other
civic matters which have resulted in
great internal discord at Ely. No
connection with the several matters
has been made, however, and the
fine was paid under protest, indi-
eating that the end is not yet.
