FIRST ORS-ST EALING CASE.
Carried Away TranM Fall of Combi
nation RocK.
John Sheridan, a miner who formerly
wur'^l for the Combination company,
is in jail litre charged with stealing ore
from that company to the value of
about $•’,500. The specific charge is
grand larceny on which lie will ha'-e a
preliminarv examination next week.
Sheridan’s ia he first ore stealing case
of the camp which has lieen traced to an
arrest and the evidence is strong against
him.
Last Friday Sheridan left on the
stage for Tonopah, having as baggage a
large trunk and two valises. Suspicion
that all was not right was aroused when
the stage left from the f;ct that the
services of several men were required to
lift the trunk on the stage. This inci
dent was remarked by bystanders and
the rumor was soon in circulation around
town that a man had gone out. on the
stage with a trunk full of stolen ore.
Mine owners began to check up to *ee
if any of their -acked ore was missing,
the result being'that G. \V. Richard, of
No. 9 lease on the Jumbo and the Com
bination people found' that ‘they were
losers several sacks of valuable rock.
From the fact that Sheridan had worked
in the’Combination mine" the suspicion
was very'strong'that theore in his pos
DHiii v*op ii trill mat nunc.
Warrants'were'sworon' out for Sheri
dan by both Mr.'Richard and the Combi
nation company and notice to arrest liim
-‘pd'ascertainthe’contents ofthe trunk
■nd valises was sent to the Tonopah of
ficers. B it they recceived word too late
to'catcli Sheridan there, hehaving'taken
the first train out. A telegram to stop
Sheridan" was'8ent"to'Reno,~'and"lie was
arrested’ there “when" he appeared to
claim his baggage.
Constable Hickiy'of Tonopali, went to
Reno, and brought Sheridan, the trunks
and valises''back. Constable O'Toole,
who was at Hawthorne, came on with
them and claimed the prisoner on the
warrants" issued here'but’for some rea
son the Tonopah offio rs decided to liolu
Sheridan’s preliminary there, which
wa« done'yesterday,'the"re?ult"of course
being that the Tonopah officers got their
fees and "Sheridan ’was' discharged for
lack of ju risdiction.
""Sheridan'was tu-ned over to Con^ta
ble’O’Toole, who'br.ught him here last
night.
The trunk'and'valiscs wcre*both filled
with ore, weighing 625 pounds and val
ued at about $2,500, it is stated. Sheri
had evidently’taken his’time and sorted
the rook"ubout""as""elosely”as"wa8 pos
sible.
He claims that he bought theore from
his employers, hut this is a little too
fishy fur the’average’jury to believe.
The ore has been positively identified
as coming from the Combination, hav
ing the upiiearance and peculiar char
acteristics of the ore which that mine
pr< iduces.
The case looks like k hail one forSher
dan, with the chances that his exi« ri
nient will result in landing him in
prison for a long term.
FOUND DEAD IN A CORRAL.
Jack Hanning Discovered In O'Keafe's
Yards.
Wednesday morning when the em
ploye- of O’Keefe Bros’, feed ytird C"m

rolled in a pair of blankets who evinced
no i>ign« of life. Deputy Coroner Col

heart failure.
The ma", Jack Manning was an o:d

Carpenters Organize.
Goldfield Local No. 1761 of the Brotli
Utiood of Carpenters and Joiners was
hrinally instituted last night at Miners’

working under a temporary organization
and is now a regularly organized local

GOLD CRATER IS RICH
Latest Strike Causes New Rush to
the Camp.
Another bonanza strike has been made
near Goldfield, this time in the Gold
Outer district, twenty-six miles east
and slightly south of here. Sanders &
Inman arc the lucky owners this time.
Saturday Mr. Inman sent in some as
say samples to Mr. Sanders, who took
them up to Lanku A McGalliard and as
a result received an assay certificate
showing the r ck to go |G54 her ton—
$f>24 gold.
As soon as a rumor got out a rush
started for the new camp, and Mr. San
ders received a handsome offer for his
half interest.
A townsite has been laid out and it is
expected that Gold Crater will become
a very lively camp and soon be on the
list of ore shippers.
The vein is large and easily traced and
flic pay streak is about 18 inches wide.
Among those who are heavily inter
ested in Gold Crater are Elliott, Wil
liams A Colburn who arc interested in
-3 claims lying in close proximity to the
Hub, the claim owned by Saudi rs &
Inman, on which the original strike
was made. They are also inf crested in
the townsite company with Mr. Cassin
and others and quite a brisk sale of
town lots has already set in.
Messrs. Curtis and Kidge. owners of
one of the rich Jumbo leases, also have
a number of claims at Gold Crater.
They have sent out supplies and are pre
paring to put up a hoist without delay.
Wood is about six miles distant from
the camp, and while water is none to >
plentiful, it can easily be developed.

Developments in
Jumbo.
Though there is nothing startling nd
new in the way of strikes on the great
Jumbo it is maintaining its lead as the
banner producer of the camp. The ac
cumulation of sacked ore is being sent
out as rapidly as possible but there is
enough on hand to keep the available
teams busy for weeks to come.
There are all sorts of rumors relating
to the extension of leases on the Jumbo
but nothing authentic can be ascer
tained.
The Great Bend.
At a point 200 feet west of the Gold
held Great Bend Mining company's in
cline shaft, ore of shipping value has
been encountered. Late returns from
samples taken in a surface cut at that
point give values of $172.80 and $240.80
per ton and further work to determine
its extent along~the strike of the vein is
in progress. Sinee'resuming work un
der the direction of the newly incorpor
ated company more attention has been
given to surface prospecting and it is be
ing demonstrated that in addition to the
ores of,shipping"value a strong shoot of
milling grade Hies along the hanging
wall. Air pipe'has been received from
Tonopali and with proper ventilation
crosscutting therein on the 75 foot level
will be pushed.
Goldfleld"Soavenlr.
The shaft lias reached the 50-foot level
and crosscutting was begun Wednesday.
The ledge that the shaft was started on
dipped out at about 12 feet from the sur
face. Stringers coming into the’ shaft
from this ledge assay as high as $128 i>er
ton. The management expects to cut
the ledge about 30 feet from the shaft

used as a permanent working shaft. In
the face of the crosscut $40 ore 'is being
taken out. This can be screened to $800
stuff and the Red Top will soon be added
to the list of shippers.
Florence No. 3.
’ This lease maintains its steady output

foot levels and there are about 800 sacks
of ore ready to be seat out. The cross

Quartzite Fraction.
The Reilly, Polk and Kvise lease on
the Quartzite Fraction at Uiaiiiondiield
is showing phenomenal richness, having
improved constantly since the original
strike was made two weeks ago. All re
|>o ts received during the week go to
I show that the ore body is one of the
largest and richest in the district. The
crosscut from the t>0 foot level is 25 feet
in the ledge and has not "cut through it.
i Five feet of ore shows in the face and all
of it goes better than'$200 and is being
sacked. At this rate the Quartzite ranks
well up with the Jbanner‘producers of
tile district.
Goldfield, Diamond Co.
At a meeting of the board of directors
of tin- Goldfield Diamond Mining com
pany tbit week it was decided to accept
a proposition made to them to let two
lea-es on its claims where some rich
pannings were made. This of itself is
; very strong evidenee of the mineral val*
• ues of those claims. The ‘company’s
i claims are well located and are surrounded
by rich'producers.
The company will within a few days
begin active, development work on its
own account.

CLEAN UP THE ALLEYS.
Epidemic Threatens Unless This is
Done Soon.
The alleys and back streets <>f Gold
field are becoming filthy in the extreme ,
and a prompt and thorough cleaning up
is needed if the health of the town is to j
be maintained. This is a matter which '
cannot be given too serious attention.
Every property owner should see to il
that debris is not allowed to accumulate
on his premises and steps should at once
be taken to give the town a thorough
renovating.
Unless something is done in this di
rection an epidemic and harvest of death
is threatened. Whoever has authority
in this direction should see to it that the
renovation is started at once and if such
authority is not vested in the officers
the matter should be taken up by the
citizens generally.
The health of Goldfield is excellent at
present hut cannot continue unless the
menace of tilth and debris which is fast
accumulating is removed. Goldfield
cannot afford to pass through the ex
perience of the first winter in Tonopah,
when an epidemic broke out which re
sulted in many deaths before it could be
checked.
Prevention is better than cure in this
matter and the danger can be averted if
proper steps are taken in time.
Postoffice Allowance Increased.
Special Inspectors Hall and Lewis of
the Postottiee department are here mak
ing an official inspection of the local
postoflice. On their recommendation to
the department, telegraphic notice was
given Postmaster Smith yesterday of an
additional allowance of $500 j>er quarter
tor clerk hire, beginning September Is'.
This will enable the working force in
,the office to be incr -nd, someth.'ng
which was absolutely necessary as trie
needs of the office ted outgrow n the
former ailowauee to maintain it. Better
service ca t now be e oected, for w ind
the public will be d< ly thankful. '
THE RU3H CONTINUES.

The influx i„ so a: il: .* I he accom
modations of the to.vu are being taxed
to the utmost, especially in the matter
of lodgings Most of the newcomers
have to avail themselves of tents which
are being pitched on every available
piece of ground on the outskirts of town.
The sale of lots in the various additions
continues unabated. The town is
spreading to the north and east very
rapidly and at the pre-ent rat*- of growth
the prediction that Goldtield and Co
lumbia will eventually become one town
is within sight.
The Miners’ Union this week sent
out hundreds of circulars warning min
ers and millmen to stays '■ ay from Gold
field at present. Tie* nilux d laboring
men has been so great that there is now
more here than can secure employment.
This warning should be lnsded as the
population of Goldfield is now growing
faster than the accommodations are in
creasing. At present it is not a camp
for men without money, who come here
with the idea of securing employment
at day’s wages.
Arrested in Tonopah.
Johnson, the man who jumped in a
well here la-t week and performed a
number of other insane acts which re
sulted in his being locked up, started
out for Tonopah Tuesday with a horse
and wagon belonging to the Goldfield
dairy without having taken the trouble
to ask tin* owner’s permission. The To
nopah officials were notified and Jobn
ron was taken in custody and brought
back from there last night by Constable
i’Toole. No charge has been placed
igainst Johnson as yet hut it is probable
hat he will he sent to Hawthorne to be
•xatuiued as to his sanity.
STRIKE NEAR BULLFROG
Another Rich Find Reported frcm
That Section.
Another s'rike is reported from tin
Bullfrog section, having been made a
few days ago by Joe Stockham, formerly
foreman on the Brougher lease at Ton
opuh
The strike was made about three miles
east of the Bullfrog claims. Mr. Stock
ham came in from there Tuesday with
samples from the croppings which gave
an assay of $810, the value including s
ounces of silver. He is much elated
and believes he has a bonanza property.
Frank Wilson who is in from the Bull
frog district, where he has a number of
locations, says the showingon the claims
where Cross and Harris made the origi
nal strike has improved very much with
even the small amount of work which
has been done. The ledge has been
found in place under the country rock
at a point unite a distance from where
the orignal strike was made, indicating
that the ledge continues at least the full
length of the claims. The ledge is a
perfect contact, thus having all the in
dications of permanence.
Mr. Wilson says the Bullfrog is one
of the biggest and richest propositions
he ever saw.

Lake, and C. H. L imb will op m a fir-t

frtfc GREATER “NEWS.”
Some of the Improvements the Paper
Has Under Wap.
The growth of The News is to keep
pice with that of this great camp. At
present an.I for some weeks past the
mechanical equipment of the paper has
lieen such as to make it impossible to
meet the dv nauJs of advertisers for
space, to keep up with the orders for
joo work or to print papera to supply the
gnat demand there has Iieenj for them.
But this handicap is'to be removed just
as quickly as it is possible to accomplish
the improvements wnich have beet)
under way f..r some time but held back
I by the recent tie-up on the railroad.
I’ue first and greatest* need of tha
paper will be its removal to proper quar
tern. The coulruet has beeu given for p
bill.ding for tie exclusive u^e of Tb*
News, to be erected on North aid
street, two doors above the (doldflelt^
Lumber company's office. The building
i w ul be 4 Xsb feet in elite and will be

the work. It will be the hand
somest office in this section of Nevada.
By October loth, if all goes well. The
