The Sierra County Advocate edited by O Thompson, May 24 1912 issue lists subscription rates. One year costs six dollars, six months five dollars, and local write ups priced at ten cents per line per insertion, with locals or write ups at twenty cents per line.
Local notes report fence work begun in Hillsboro city park. Several residents travel for medical, mining, or educational reasons including Frank Hiler to El Paso for appendix surgery and Miss Eula Richardson from Las Cruces. Multiple visits to mines, schools, and nearby towns are listed with brief health and travel updates.
The Advocate reprints a letter from Tot Thomas, a well known Black Range veteran, recounting old friends from Hillsboro and Kingston now scattered across the West. He lists Ed Doheney and others returning from New York and Los Angeles, notes Billie of Brash-Heap fame in Cripple Creek, Abe Hazel in Seattle, and Frank J. Buck in Denver as a mining engineer. He mentions ties to the Kingston era, shifts to new work in mines, and ends with a wish to revisit the Black Range while pursuing mining potatoes and corn.
William F. Hall has filed a surety bond and receiver's oath after being appointed receiver of the Statehood Mines Company by Judge Merritt C. Mechem. A. M. Gillespie, cashier of Sierra County Bank, was named referee. Parties aim to place all claims with the referee to determine receiver’s certificates and pay all accounts in full. Hall expects to float certificates backed by the property’s intrinsic value and to remain at Kingston for health reasons.
Chs D. Nelson of the O2 ranch passed through Kingston on business with the forest service. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy of El Paso lease the Lannon house for the summer. Development on the Squirrel mines continues as Ranger C. M. Howells returns from Chicago. Special offer for The National Monthly at $1.00 a year to new subscribers.
Hal's Catarrh Cure is claimed as the only positive cure for catarrh with a $100 reward offer for failures. The ad promotes testimonials, internal treatment, and patent products, alongside claims for other remedies and a Chihuahua list of local incidents including thefts, injuries, and saloon fights.
A clipped, fragmentary line hints at a reward notice in the newspaper. The text suggests a monetary incentive of one hundred dollars but lacks full context or specifics about the case, person, or conditions related to the reward.
