Under the heading “Local News on
Every Page.” the Reese River Reveille
reproduces an item from The News and
credits it to the “Goldfield Sun.’ Ihe
Reveille is informed that at present The
News is the only paper published in the
Goldfield district, but there are rumors
of something like a dozen more for the
near future.
The August number of the Sunset
Magazine, which will soon be out, con
tains a nicely illustrated article on Gold
field. written l>y the editor of The News.
As the illustrations in the Sunset are
usually superb, it will make the hand
somest and best advertisement the dis
triot has yet had.
The national democratic convention
has made its nominations and Alton B.
Parker, of New York, and Henry G. Da
vis. of West Virginia, will oppose Theo
dore Roosevelt, of New York, and
Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana. Mr.
Parker announces that he is in favor of
the gold standard.
The soliciting committee to raise funds
for lire apparatus are now at work. Gold
field is in urgent need of tire protection
and tin1 committee should meet with the
utmost encouragement in their laudable
efforts for the public good.
The Wells Ileral.l invites prosper...
candidates for political office to make
announcements through its columns at
$10 per announce. "No $ll), no an
nouncement,” is the frank way the Her
ald puts it.
The last issue of The Goldfield
News was printed in red and blue and
was a neat piece of work. Reese River
Reveille.
NEWS FROM HAWTHORNE
(Special Correspomlenc.)
The grand jury of Esmeralda comity
was in attendance upon the District
Court at Hawthorne on the 8tli of July.
In the case of the State against W. .1
Kepler tiny found an indictment against
the defendant charging him with an as
sault with intent to kill
In the case of the State against How
ard Sharp the grand jury failed to return
an indictment against the defendant. The
suieties on the bail bond of Sharp were
released and the defendant discharged.
In view of the strong showing made
against the defendant by the depositions
taken at the preliminary examination and
the six witnesses who testified before the
grand jury, most of whom testified at tin* i
preliminary examination, it was some
thing of a surprise that the defendant
was not indicted. It seems that the pre
conceived opinions of the grand jurors
as to the had character of the deceased
was the controlling factor in the case,
and even outweighed the sworn evidence.
The grand jury, who did not even have
the power to imprison the defendant, or
place him in jeopardy of life or limb, in
taking the matter entirely out of the
hands of atrial jury, did not establish a
precedent worthy to be followed. S. (’.
As Enthusiastic as Any.
As enthusiastic as any mining man who
lias visited Goldfield, Nev. was Johu W.
Langley, who returned from camp yes
terday morning. He reports no fewer
than seven mines now producing ore of
excellent quality, the best evidence of
the class of ore is that at the January,
which has now been productive of over
§200,0' 0, all of this since February 20th
last. The management there is just now
opening up the 200-foot level, and will
begin r aising the milling ore which must
be at the surface before the expiration of
the lease. At the Combination Mr. Lang
ley reports the metallic contents of the
sulphides better than the free milling
rock. On the Jumbo, he says, 12 leases
are now in operation, eight of which are
in ore, some of which is of most sensa
tional quality. He also reports import
ant strikes at Diamondfield. conspicuous
among them those in the Daisy and Ver
nal.—Salt Lake Tribune.
A Popular Game.
Now that apples are coming into mar
ket the game of apples will soon become
popular in Goldfield. This is the way it
is played: A voting man calls on his girl
bringing along a small apple. When he
thinks it is time, he throws the apple up
in the air. If it comes down, he kisses
the girl. If it stays up, he does not.
WHAT SMELTER MAN SAYS
And Tet There Are Many Who Doabt
and Doubt.
Not only is Goldfield out of Tonopnh
a most phenomenal camp, said Geo. E.
Gnnn, field representative of the Ameri
can Smelting and Refining company, on
his return from there yesterday, but it
presents many of the possibilities of a
('ripple Creek, and in another year should
become one of the greatest sources of
gold the country has ever known. It is
already demonstrated to his satisfaction
that the January and Combination are
mines, making money for their owners as
well as the lessees, while values in the
Jumbo are nothing less than astonishing
— some of the ore worth over plumper
sack. Mr. Gunn, who rarely enthuses,
confessed that on his visit to Goldfield
sentiment had been forced to relax. —Salt
Lake Tribune.
RAILROAD COMING AT ONCE
President John W. BrocK Is Author
ity for the Statement.
C. H. Elliott, the Touopali broker, re
ceived a letter from Philadelphia this
week in which the writer stated that
John W. Brock, president of the Tono
pah Railroad company and of the Tom)
pah Mining company, had announced
definitely that the railroad would be con
tinned to Goldfield immediately upon its
completion to Tonopnh.
How is that for a seven months-old
camp?
Railroad to Goldfield.
W. 8. Williams, the broker, made a
bet of a fine suit of clothes with J. W.
Briggs, of Tonopnh, that the Tonopnh
railroad would be extended and trains
running into Goldfield by January first
next.
