ELLIOTT EXONERATED
Charges of Murder and AssaaK to KiA Dis
missed.
W. S. Klliott has l»fn fully exoner
■G.ted of the charges of killing .lack Mad
igan an<l assault with intent to kill Joe
Hamilton, growing out of the deplorable
’shooting affray on the night of the 13th,
and has been discharged from custody.
The preliminary examination on tb**
latter charge was held before Justice Col
lins on Monday and Tuesday, the State
l>eing represented bv IHstrict Attorney
Green and the defense by S. K. Vermil
•vea. The,testimony of a number of
witnesses for the State was introduced.;
none being offered by the defense. The
evidence was in effect the same as tbi
story of the shooting published in last
week's Nt;ws,( showing that Klliott
acted in self detense both in the killing
of Madigan and the shooting of llami'
ton.
At the conclusion of the examination
•Justice Collins dismissed the charge of
assault with intent to kill and thereupon
Mr. Vermilyea moved the dismissal of
the murder charge also, which was done,
Hu* District Attorney offering no objec
tion.
The case is such a.clear one that Klli
’ott was justified in snooting both men,
that it is hardly probable tliat any fur
tlier action in either case will be taken.
TilK COUONKK’S INQKKST.
The inquest into the matter of the
‘death of .lack Madigan, who was shot I
and killed by \V. S. Klliott on the night i
'of the 13th instant, was held last Satnr-)
day before Justice Collins. It had been j
jsistpoiusl until that time pending the I
Arrival of Distrh’t Attorney (ireen from i
Hawthorne.
The teslinVonV of a number of wit
nesses to .the sliooting was taken, their j
stories being in the main about the same I
jis the published account of the affray in |
Jast week’s News. The verdict of the
jury completely exonerated Klliott from
blame for the killing and was as follows:
“In the matter of the inquisition up
ton the body of Jack Madigan.
“We, the Undersigned, the jurors sum
hmned to appear before K. K. Collins-,
the Coroner of the Town of Coldfield
and County of Ksmerulda, at 2 p. m., on
the 20th day of August, 1004, to inquire
into the cause of the death of J. Madi
gan, having been duly sworn according
to law, and having made such inquisi
tion, after inspecting the body, and
hearing the testimony adduced, upon
our oaths, each : ltd all\lo say, that we
find the deceased was named Jack Mad
igan. was a native of Pennsylvania, aged
about 37 years, that he came to his death
on the 13th day of August, 1004, in this
County by a gun shot wound by the hand
of W. S. Klliott, and we further timl that
we belieVe W. S. Klliott to be the person
tiv whose act the death of the said Jack
Madigan was occasioned. And we, the
undersigned jurors, do believe the said
W. S. Klliott did the killing in self de
fense and’therefore we. the jury, exon
erate tin* said W. S. Klliott for the kill
ing of Jack Madigan, deceased.

Inspecting the District.
Mr. Folirinan of Chicago, a private
geologist ami correspondent of a tmin
her of Kastern financial journals, is here
for the purpose of making a thorough
inspeetson of the district from the geo
logical standpoint. The work on which
lie is engaged will require several weeks !
and when completed the Xkws hopes to j
he able to present to the pul die some of I
the conclusions reached as the result of |
his investigations. Mr. Kohrmati says I
lie has so far seen nothing that would |
cause other than the most favorable
opinion of the district’s future.
Jim Bntler in Town.
Jim Butler, the father of Tonopah, ar
rived from that place Tuesday evening
in the automobile and was accompanied
jiv T. L. Hoofer, of Carson, and Henry
liougherty of Carson. The gentlemen
came to examine the mines of the camp
and are also looking after other enter
prises. They expect to remain lice
several days and before returning to
their homes will spend several days at'
Tonopah.
Mr. Butler, who has considerable min
ing property in this locality, is looking
after his interests and is being heartily j
greeted by his many friends.
Offices Opened.
The Goldfield Promotion Bureau, con- ,
ducted by Messrs. Johnstone. O’Brien'
and Shaw, and the Tonopah-Gcldfield
Trust company, AV. 1). Lawton, imina- j
ger, have opened otiicea in the new
building on Main street two doors north j
of Thk Xkws office. Half of the build-'
ing is occupied by Heslip & Jordan, as- j
savers, who have ojiened up their estab- i
lishment. They are spoken of as high- j
class men in their line and are valuable'
recruits to tin1 ranks of Goldfield’s en
terprising business men.
t
A Great Showing.
Just as a straw to show the extent of
Goldfield's growth ond business activity
it may he mentioned that since the first
* of the month the |iapers in ninety-live
transactions have oaseeil through the
offieeofL.fi. Finnegan, notary public.
These documents consisted of bonds for
deeds, «iuitclaiin deeds and powers of
attorney and none of them were for real,
estate transactions. And this is only
the business passing through the hands i
of one of the three notaries in town.
StriKe at Antelope.
A German who lias been prospecting
in the vicinity of Autelope Springs I
brought in some rioli rock the first of
the week. The news of a rich strike
spread and a number of parties left in
the evening for the sceue which is Hbout
forty-five miles west of Goldfield. As
none has returned the extent and rich
ue-'S of the strike is unknown.

REAL ESTATE BOONS,
Prices Role High With Many Tran
■actions.
Prices ior real bstate are still snaring
in Goldfield ami they are bonntl tn go
higher as the camp developed. A town
lot on Main stiVet is now worth ns much
ns a fairly good mine and (or leases on
ground in this street In the central part
of town ns high as $4 per front foot per
month is being paid.
Transactions are t>eing made so rap
idly that there is hi) way of keeping roc
ord of them. They are bought and per
haps sold again within a few hours at
a sharp advance, and then resold to
Someone who is willing and anxious to
pay the fancy prices demanded.
the top notch figures are of course for
business locations, but the sales of what
is destined to become the residence sec
tion keeps pace. People are buying lots
on which to build homes and as soon as
the lumber scarcity is over there will be
a building boom such as has never be
fore been witnessed anywhere. Already
there ate at a mild estimate at least a
hundred houses, adobe or frame, in var
ious stages of Construction, this not in
cluding the business buildings on which
work is begun or nearing completion.
H jirtb of the m >re imp irtaitt red es
tate deals of the week are given below,
it being impossible to give mention of
the mnhy others which have been made.
H. H. Abidee purchased from the
(it Id field Townsite Company live lots,
four of which are corner lots at the in
tersection of Crook and Columbia ave
nues. On the north-east corner of this
intersection he will build a fine two
story building for office purposes.
Archie l.uw ntugne and Frank Maud
lin have leased a j£> foot lot on Ramsey
and First streets on which they will
erift a large bakery.
C. \V. Stewart has leased an adjoining
lot and will build a Cabinet working
shop.
Sleinheimer A Titmeher have leased a
.TO foot front on Main Street next to the
(•didfield meat-market. They will put
tip a IKlxlOO furniture store.
Ingalls A Crook have purchased a cor
ner lot on Crook ami Columbia avenues,
the considerafion it is said being twelve
hundred dollars.
$450 IN BAD CHECKS
Reno Newspaper Man Does Fraudulent Pen
Work.
He came to write tip the camp, fell
victim to the seductive wiles of the tiger
and departed leaving $4">0 worth of had
checks behind him.
This was in brief the Goldfield experi
ence of \V. W. Kersbner, a representa
tive of a Reno publication known as Ne
vada Mines. Kersbner was in town
several days and on Friday night es
sayed to dally with the tiger. He lost
what money he had, but the spiiit of
play was strong within him and be
commenced writing checks to secure
more funds. They were cashed to the
amount of $4.’>0 in the two houses in
which he played. The money passed
from his to the dealers’ bands and he
was soon broke again.
Kersbner left town on next morning’s
stage and the holders of the chocks, be
coming suspicious, telegraphed to the
Washoe I'ountv Rank of Reno, on which
they were drawn,and found that the pa
per which they held was worthless,
Kersbner having no funds on deposit.
The sheriff was notified and took
Kersbner in custody on his arrival in
Reno. Things looked bad for him and
arrangements were made for Constable
O’Toole to go to Reno and bring Kersb
ner back for trial. But it appears that
lie is connected with the Reno Gazette
and an arrangement was made by which
the note of that pajier was accepted for
the amount of Kershner’s bad checks
and he was released. When be comes
again to Goldfield he will probably s eer
clear of the tiger’s lair.
Skipped Out—Left Debts.
E. A. Wall, who did a couple of weeks'
thriving business running the lunch
■«uliter at the Palace corner, sold out
the place to his partner and skipped out
last Saturday. But before doing so he
made it a point to get in debt to as
many (ample as (mssible and when his
various creditors ligured up their ac
counts they found that Wall had suc
ceeded in buncoing them to the extent
.f IttlU).
Constable O’Toole was notified and
-ent word to Tonopah and Sodaville and
Wall was arrested at the latter (dace.
He was to have been brought back to
inswer to an embezzlement charge hut
:fter some delay Wall came to the con
clusion that it was better to pungle them
:o be brought into court and so dis
gorged the money necessary to square
ip accounts. This satisfied the credit
irs and he was allowed to proceed on
lis way, looking for a new and more
irotitable field for swindling operations.
Prominent Man's Sudden Death.
W. W. Morris, a banker of Pony,
Montana, and pioneer mining man of
Fonoiiah, was stricken with heart dis
ease, while ins|>ecting the East Chance
mine at Reveille, Sunday evening.
Death was instantaneous ami with no
warning. He left last week for Tono
pah, and left there to inspect his mine,
lie was accompanied by his son and
seven other companions when stricken,
and the grief-stricken 1'iiends brought
the body to Tonopah at once. It was
embalmed there and shipped to Mon
tana, Wednesday, for burial.
Killed in Tonopah Mine.
J. 11. Danbacker lost his life Mon lay
by falling 400 feet in the Halifax mine
in Tonopah. At about 3 p. m. he was
coming up from a drift a short distance
above the water level, in company with
Foreman Malloy and another man.
When near the top lie grew faint, and in
spite of his companions’ endeavor to
hold him fell from the cage. The water
was 140 feet deep and the body was not
recovered till !* p. in., being in a terribly
mangled condition, lie was a widower,
45 years of age.

VELVET AND JUMBO
TWIN SENSATIONS
Product of the Bowes-If ernich Lease is Estimated
at Near the Million MarK—Marvelous
Ore is Being Extracted.
Jam bo.
The Snwes-Kernick lease, No. s, ori
the Jumbo still holds the center of the
stage ns the banner producer of the
camp. Ore is heihg taken out of such
<iuality and in such ipiantity a? to throw
the richest leases on the Mi/.pah in tin'
shade. As stated last week the ledge
was cut by the 500 level crosscut and ii
proves to be feet wide and all shipping
ore. About fifty miners are at work
and lire is being exthieted on all font
levels. Winzes arc being sunk and up
raises maid on all the levels.
It is estimated that over $500,000
worth of ore is now blocked out on this
lease. Those in a position to know even
go so far as to predict that it will pro
duce $1,000,000 by the close of the leas
ing period, < letober !>lst.
About 5,500 sacks of ore are now piled
up awaiting shipment and the ore is be1
ing sent out as rapidly as possible. One
assay from the 50 foot level this week
went $5,540.
Reliable estimates place the daily pro
duction of one lease at $10,000 daily and
of all Jumbo leases at $15,000.
On the Richard & Co. lease No, 0 a
hoist is being installed and the fortunate
owners are bound to get the rich ore
shoot which is blocked out down to the
500 level in the adjoining Rowes-Ker
niek lease.
On the No. 11. Vermilyea it i’artlett’s |
lease, an upraise from the 100 level is
being made and the ore shoot is about
18 inches wide. Seventeen tons of ore
were shipped this week and the lease
holds as one of the best on the Jumbo.
A gasoline hoist is being put in place
on the Fuller and McDonald lease and
will be readv for operatsons in a few
days.
On the Zinn lease a depth < f 100 feet
has been obtained and a drift at that
point has been started. A latest im
proved gasoline hoist was recently in
stalled and is giving good satisfaction.
The Velvet.
No richer strike lias been made in the
camp than that in the Rider, Ricker A:
Taylor lease on the Velvet. It is the;
sensation of the camp and lias possihdi
ties which at this writing apja'ar limit
less.
Following the rich surface strike, the
ledge has now been uncovered for about
III) feet and the richest shoot shows
about K feet wide. Already I Oil sacks of
ore have been taken out, with only two
and a half days work. This ore is worth
at least $1,000 a ton. Assays which
have been made run up to $10,000 a ton.
From the top of the ground, in a space
about 40x50 feet, about 125 tons of loose
dirt were shoveled up. It will assay
about $55 a ton.
All the indications are favorable that
the Velvet will hold out with depth and
that it will become one of the biggest
mines of the camp.
January.
Three shifts of miners are at work on ;
the January and ties old reliable pro-j
ducer is maintaining its steady output, j
About 12 tons of s hipping and 25 tons of
milling ore are being taken out daily.
A shipment of 1H tons was made last
night and there is plenty more on hand.
A contract has been let to sink the,
new shaft 100 feet. It is now down 112 j
feet. All the workings of the January
are in ore and only shipping and milling
stuff is being taken out. F.nough ore is
tid'.V in sijilit to cover tin- working period
of tin- louse.
Combination.
The Cani|i's ol lest mine maintain-' its
steady output ■ f shi|iping or*' and re
ports are that the ore bodies in the lower
workings are holding in extent and val
ues.
The Florence.
On the Florence lease No. good
shipping ore is being taken out steadily.
A shipment was sent out last week from
which the returns have not yet been re
ceived, hut it is expected to sustain the
record for this great property.
Piamoacilicld £trii(e.
A strike was made this week on the
Daisy at Diumnndticld in the Welch j
lease. The ledge lias been opened tip it
three different places add shows about
t> feet of good ore. Panning* show that
the rock runs well up in the thousands
and it contains plenty of visible gold.
No assays have, yet been made but then
is already enough in sight to satisfy tin
owners and others who have inspected
the property that they have one of tin
best things in the 1 >iamondl:eld section.
The !v2s.
Mnrtaand Wilson are erecting a large
whim on the .losliua lease on the St.
Ives. They have a ledge eight to lifted;
inches wide of high grade ore and ex
pect to put on a force of men at once.
The Si’ver Pitlb
Three leases are now n|icrnting on tie
Silver l’iek group, .bulge 1£. It. Collins
having one and <i. A. Whit ford tin
other two. They are going ahead will
active development work and are confi
dent that they will soon have something
good in sight.
The Red Top.
A now strike, which has given the
[stock nf this company ;in upwind ten
dency and can es it to he classed a good
huv was made yesterday. The striki
was made at a point ah ait the center of
the claim and the ore is richer than any
that previous prospecting has shown.
Assays from near the surface arc said to
run up to $t<n.
Tiie A'.gite.
The shaft 01 the Smith, Sanders and j
Fuller lease is down eighteen feet and
the ore is showing fair values.
A shaft is being sunk on the Sanders j
lease on the Algae and is down twenty- j
five fed.
Blacii Ant Mines Co.
The sinking on the May ('. group of,
the Black Ant Mines Co., lying near the
Vernal No. If has heen resumed, work
having hci n delayed on account of ina
bility to obtain mining timbers. The
work on their Indt p.-nbonec group lying
between the .I umbo and the Vernal No.
if mines is progics. ing rapidly. Consid
erable surface work has heen done and
three promising ledges opened. Mana
ger Weber has started to work upon and
develop two of tl.esc leads. At a depth
of AO feet a crosscut of about 40 feet will
he run to encounter the third vein.
The Goldfield-Tonopah.
The (ioldfield-Tonopah Mining Com
pany is sinking with one shift on the
Cloudy l>av. They are down Iff feet
and the bottom of the shaft is all ledge
matter which assays as high as $10 in
gold. This group con Nts of three
claims near Diamondlield. They join j
the Cain and McMann property on the
I
west which was recently bonded for
$100,000, with $10,(XH) cash payment.
They also join the Red Huttos on the'
north which was als > b »n led last week
for $40,00(1 with a I ,rge cash payment. ;
There are numerous ledges cropping on
this ground and all assay in gold. The
shaft is now punt! down at the rate of
three feet per day, and it is the inten
tion of the eompatty to sink fifty feet
and then emsseut both north and south
to out led ties whieh are only a few feet
from them.
Jumbo Extension.

In the north drift from theupper tun
