Mail Sacks Are Stolen
Two mail sacks containing letters
and registered parcels were recently
stolen from the Southern Pacific de
pot at Verdi. The cash drawer, con
taining seven dollars, was pried
open, but the money was not taken.
CAMP IS IN GRIP
OF OUGE GUFFAW
HAVING BEEN “BUNKOED" THEY
SEE THE JOKE AND
LAUGH
When the man called it the “Gold
Held Fourth of July Knocker’’ he
knew what he was talking about.
Some time prior to the Fourth, a
local solicitor, R. H. Hillen, called
upon the merchants and business
men of Goldfield offering advertis
ing space in what purported to oe a
sort of humorous Fourth of July
program edition. He was working
under the instruction of John T.
Field, who sometimes gives his ad
dress as Goldfield. It was stated that
the “paper” would be freely illus
trated and a copy of an edition is
sued at Manhattan on the previous
Fourth of July was exhibited.
The business men of Goldfield, al
ways liberal in their donations, sub
scribed for space in the “Knocker”
without asking many questions, and
then proceeded to forget all about
the incident. Each subscriber was
supposed to receive two copies of
the “funny sheet” on the Fourth,
and when they were not forthcoming
on that date a few recalled the mat
ter. Apparently nobody knew any
thing about the publisher, and the
' coup” wras a dead issue until Fri
day, when John T. Field, a giant in
stature “who can't find work," ap
peared on the streets with a bundle
of “Knockers”—Goldfield knockers
—and attempted to sell them at 25
cents per.
When copies of the alleged josn
sheet were examined by local sub
scribers they were found to be reek
ing with I. W. W. literature, and
then the fun began. The first man
to seek Field’s scalp was R. H. Hil
len, who had solicited the local ad
vertisements. He said he had been
bunked by Field, who had represent
ed to him that nothing of a political
nature was to find its way into the
“Knocker.” At first the subscribers
were wild and eagerly sought an ac
counting. But—what could the noor
girl do? Soon smiles began to push
aside black looks, and by this morn
ing the whole town was in the grip
of a huge guffaw. The joke was too
good! Good nature had caused bus
iness men to become temporary suck
ers, so why repine?
But as to Field! Having sown
the wind he reaped the whirlwind.
A nemesis was on his trail in the
shape of Mr. Hillen, and the expon
ent of I. Won’t Worklsm had no
peace. Hillen followed him, and as
Last as he could lay hands on a copy
of the “knocker” he consigned it
to the flames. Late yesterday after
noon Field called at the sheriff’s of
fice. for what purpose is not exactly
known, but while there he was told
by Deputy Sheriff Bogard in lan
guage not susceptible of misconstruc
tion that his room was preferable
to his company. Having stated that
he was an T. W. W. and that his
habitat was Tonopah. he was told
to hit the trail for the silver camp.
In tne meantime, “it is to laugh!”
Masquerader Ts Arrested
Mtb. J. A. Bentley was recently
arrested at Elko for appearing in
male attire. She states that she
came to Elko to force her husband
to support her, he having signed an
agreement to do so and failed to
keep it.
REPORT OF HIGH-GRADE
STRIKE PURE CANARD
SENSATIONAL STORY OF TEL
LURIUM FIND IS WITHOUT
FOUNDATION
It becomes the Star’s duty to pub
lish the fact that the sensational
story sent out from National last
week that a big high grade strike had
been made in the White Rock lease,
with millions in sight, was alwolute
ly without foundation.
It now transpires, from tests made
in Winnemucea and elsewhere that
the so-called black tellurium ore,
which it was claimed had been test
ed in National and found to be
worth from $50 to $70 a pound, is
nothing more than an iron sulphide,
associated with antimony. It is not
worth as many cents per ton, accord
ing to an assay of the stuff made here
yesterday, as it was claimed it would
run dollars per pound.
lilt? IUI j Ul U1C ttUCfeCU a
was published in good faith by this
paper, the information being receiv
ed from reputable citizens of Nation
al. Every effort possible was made
to verify the truth of the strike, and
from every source of information it
was reiterated that the strike was
the biggest thing ever made in Na
tional and that there was no ques
tion of the marvelous value of the
I ore, from tests that had been made
liu National.
| From the best understanding of
I the matter that can be reached it
i seems that the owners of the lease
j were completely fooled in regard to
l the value of the alleged high grade
ore. They bad taken out nearly forty
sacks of the ore, which they sup
I posed was worth about $75,000, and
I kept it under armed guard for sev
' eral days before they realized their
| mistake.
Fndoubtedly the publicity given
this “strike” will react to the det
riment of the mining situation at
! National, but the people there who
I sprung the story and substantiated
j it afterward, fooling, if not victimiz
j ing. the press and public, are to
blame.
Some good may result, however, if
this fiasco has the effect of causing
others in future to keep their stories
of mining discoveries, values, sizes
of ore bodies and width of veins
within the facts and the limits of
reason.—Humboldt Star.
PRANK MANSON VISITS
CAMP OP ROCHESTER
•Rochester continues to add to her
production and each day witnesses
ore shipments from that camp.” de
clared Frank P. Manson, of the West
ern Ore Purchasing company, who
came in yesterday from the eastern
section of the state.
“The Codd lease at Rochester is
steadily forging to the front,” con
tinued Mr. Manson. “and the ship
ments average about thirty-five tons
daily. The recent improvement in
the underground workings has added
to the tonnage in sight and is looking
better with each shift’s work.
“From a mining standpoint the en
tire eastern part of the state is un
usually active this year and with the
large number of prospectors in the
field, important discoveries should be
announced before the summer is
over.”
Mr. Manson plans to leave in the
next day or two for the new camp of
Haystack and will examine the show
ings of that district.—Reno Journal.

WEATHER REPORT FOR I
THE MONTH OF JUNE;
FROST DAMAGES TRUCK GARDEN j
PRODUCTS IN CARSON
VALLEY
The climatological report for June
for the state of Nevada, issued from
the Reno branch of the U. S. weather
bureau, contains some interesting
data upon weather conditions and
crops. The general summary of thd*
report follows:
The weather was cool the greater
portion of June, with a decidedly cool
spell the first two weeks. The last
three days were very warm. Frost
occurred fromt the 4th to the 8th
north of the 39th parallel. The
greatest damage occurred in the Car
son Valley, where corn, potatoes and
garden truck were badly frosted. The
ground was well covered with snow
in northern and eastern portions on
the 5th. The snow protected vegeta
1 tion from the cold and was not as
injurious to the hardy crops raised
by dry farmers as expected. Showers
were general the first week of the
month, on the 19th and 20th, and
on the 24th and 25th. The amount
of precipitation for the state was con
siderably above normal. In all ex
cept the western and southern por
tions it was decidedly above. Sev
eral stations report from two to
three inches precipitation. A 24
hour rainfall of 1.5G inches was re
poriea ;ii w imieiuuccu uu iue ism
and 20th, which was the greatest 24
hour precipitation on record at that
station. Stream flow keeps up well
in all basins. The snow has disap
peared up to 9,000 feet in south
western portions, to 7,200 feet in
northeastern portions. The range
burned out some in the central por
tion of the state the last two weeks;
but crops and ranges elsewhere are
in excellent condition, due to stream
flow and good showers. The first
crop of alfalfa is nearly all cut. In
the southern portion the second crop
is about ready to cut and melon ship
ments have begun.

THINKS VERY WELL
OF COMO PROPERTY
George Smith, of Emmet Boyle s
office, returned this morning from
Como, where he had been called on
mining business. Mr. Smith stated
that the Como mill of the Nevada
Deep Mines company, under the su
pervision of Charles Morris, was
showing remarkable results from the
lower grade of ore that was being
treated.
The company has recently mined
some high-grade ore from the new
workings and development work is
being continued to tap the rich ore
at depth. In the meantime the large
tonnage of mill ore that is exposed
from the development of the former
owners is being extracted and is
keeping the mill pounding out the
values. From the way the mine is
being handled, under the manage
ment of Harry Taylor, it bids fair to
soon enter the dividend paying class.
—Appeal.
To Erect School
A new grammar school, to cost
$3,384, will be erected immediately
in Elko and will be completed in six
weeks. The contract for the con
struction was given to E. O. Fields of
that city.
GOLDFIELD DEAFEN
BY TONOPAH CLDI
INABILITY TO HIT IN PINCHES
LOSES GAME FOR LOCAL
TEAM
Failure to hit in the pinches,
coupled with numerous errors by the
home team, enabled Tonopah to
squeeze out in the lead by a score of
12 to 11 over the All-Stars yester- i
day afternoon before a large crowd I
at the local park. The game was a
slugfest from start to /Inish. Sever- 1
al times during the game the local j
boys had the sacks filled only to lose [
their chance to score by their in- j
ability to hit in the pinches. In the
ninth inning, with two out, Mayer j
was hit by a pitched ball. Nichols ,
followed with a two-bagger, and with
second and third occupied and one
run needed to tie, McCall, who was
[evidently out of form, struck out.
The fielding of the local boys was
l poor, most of Tonopah’s counts be
ing registered on errors. Noble, in
right field, was the bright particular
star of the afternoon. Besides ac
cepting several difficult chances, he
i whanged the pill for three doubles
i and a single in five times at the bat.
! ,T. Morrison and Teer played their
' usual steady game, while Harris and
! Walter Coffey starred for the silver :
camp’s aggregation.
The local boys showed better team :
work in yesterday’s fracas than they [
have in any game this season and j
[ could undoubtedly defeat any team j
[they have played this season by fill- •
ling a couple of weak spots rnd se
curing a little batting practice.
Batteries—Tonopah, Hopkins and '
O’Connell; Goldfield. Nichols and 1
Walsh.
Umpires—Brown and Drabnick.
T.KAD ORE MOVING
OUT FROM TECOPA
The old Tecopa mine, owned by
the Graves lead interests of Phila
delphia, continues to ship fifty tons
daily over the Tonopah & Tidewater j
without any evidence of cutting down
the shipments. The railroad com
pany has begun an experimental gar
den at Amargosa, and next year pro
poses to increase the area under cul
tivation so as to practically demon
strate the value of the soil of that
i region. The extension of the Death
| Valley line to the Biddy McCarthy
borax mine goes right along in spite
of the torrid weather, and it is ex
pected that the road will be in opera
tion by the end of September.—Bon- ;

EMMET BOYLE TO
BE CANDIDATE
IT IS SAII) HE WILL RUN FOR
GOVERNOR ON DEMOCRATIC
TICKET
Following a democratic now-wow
held Saturday evening in the office
of C. H. McIntosh, chairman of the
state central committee, came the flm
announcement that Emmet Boyle,
member of the Nevada tax commis
sion, will be the party candidate for
governor this year, says the Reno
Gazette. Boyle has made no formal
announcement of his candidacy, but
it is expected to come within the next
few days, either from him or through
some prominent member of the par
ty. His candidacy will not come as
a surprise, as it was forecast several
months ago when the two cliques
into which the Democratic party in
Nevada is divided were searching for
a man to run for governor who would
be satisfactory to both sides. At
that time Boyle was advocated as the
gubernatorial candidate by the anti
Newlands crowd, although he is
said to be a supporter of Newlands.
Leaders of both factions said Satur
day night they will support Boyle in
case he is the party candidate.
Boyle has a general acquaintance
over the state and lived on the Com
stock many years. He is a graduate
of the state university, was state en
gineer for a time and has been a
member of the tax commission since
It was created. He is a milling en
gineer by profession.
in auuitiuu 10 riuyitj, Lucre was
considered as a candidate for gover
nor at the conference Saturday night
one other state official, J. F. Shaugh
nessy, chairman of the tax commis
sion and member of the railroad
commission, but the conference set
tled on Boyle.
The withdrawal of Lieutenant
Governor Ross from the list of po
litical candidates also was announc
ed Saturday night. The lieutenant
governor informed the conference
that lie would not he a candidate for
any elective office this year. His
announcement was accompanied by
no explanation. Former Governor
D. S. Dickerson likewise sent the
conference word that he would not
be a party candidate this year.
