The Journal says the population OF
Reno has increased yer q thousand
In the past year.
A test run OF Tonopah ore is to be
made at the Rock Point mill and cy-
anide plant at Dayton, Lyon county.
In the District Court at Reno Judge
W. d. Jones handed down a decision
that irrigation bitches are taxable
property.
The bulk assay value Of the ore pro-
duct from the Con- Virginia mine last
week represents ove $4,000 gold
value, q daily average of more than
5000.
A movement has been started in
Virginia City for the organization Of q
Laborers' and Top Mems Union, the
members Of which pledge themselves
to work for not less than 50 per day.
Hank Mitchell, who was q candi-
date for Congress on the Democratic

Gardnerville Record: The Belgian
hare craze has resulted in adding q
new member to the rabbit family,
heretofore 90 numerous in the sage
brush wastes. The Indians were
greatly grstifed on returning from 9
rabbit drive recently to find that
their catch was over half Belgian
hares, and found that they had 30 in

as to make of them q fine favored
meat.
The first steam whistle ever heard
in Tonapah, New, mining district was
blown q few days ago. 1t belongs to
q steam hoist that is in place on the
grounds leased by Brougher Bros.
1t is expected that the latter will
surrender their lease on the first day
of January with 500, 900 in their pock-
cts from the proceeds of ore extracted
from q section 100 feet long, 175 feet
deep and 7 feet wide, and most of the
ore hoisted by a windlass.

favor of the gold in opposition with the
general relative output Of the two metals.
The idea formerly obtained here that
the h~igh-grade ores occurred in "pockets,''
but it is generally conceded now that
the rich ores occur In shoots in the lodges
of milling-grade ore. This has been
proven particularly in the Mizpsh ledge.
Lenses that had no shipping ore on the
surface have been able 10 cut high-grsde
shoots Of their neighbors by studying
the trend and sinking to proper depth.
A very interesting feature Of all the
lodges Of the group. and particularly Of
the Mizpsh, 10 the numerous lateral
faults that occur 81 frequent intervals.
While these have in some places thrown
the ledge - much - 10 feet. they have
not to any extent inconvienced mining.
In the opinion Of some. these faults are
to . considerable extent responsible for
the extreme richness Of the so-called
shoots. 1t 10 suggested that the lodges
were first formed Of . milling grade Of
ore. and, by the subsequent faulting. the
solutions that originally deposited values
had . second opportunity to enrich the
lodges ct the point Of fracture, and thus
there seems to be an established system
OF shoots following along these lines Of
faulting.
The Tonopah or Butler group Of mines
up to the present time has produced
over $500, 900. Besides this amount, 500
tons of ore are now en- route to the
smelter for reduction, and this ore 10 %
good as that which has already been
treated. Also, there are Is, 900 sacks Of
same grade shipping ore now on the
clsims awaiting transportation to the
railroad. Finally. there are 10, 600 toms
Of second class ore now on the dumps
waiting the determination Of the COM
pany - to the most efficient and profit
able process Of reduction to be installed.
Nine-tsuths Of this ore has been taken
from the Mispah lode. ~ the largsst de-
vslopment has been done on this lode.
The Valley View lode, 1900 feet east,
and several other Iodss lying between it
and the Mizpah. have produced proper
tionatsly we'll for the amount Of develop
msnt work done on them.
The Tonopsh Company has already
begun work with . view Of getting .
good supply Of water into the camp from
two different Sources. and probably
within sixty days the system will be
ready for operation. There are over 400
animals engaged in hauling ore from tbis
camp to the railroad, and ~ many more
could be probably employed.
There are l25 wooden buildiugs and
200 board and osnvas buildings here,
and more going up daily. There are
fully 1000 residents here to-day. The

Quite Probable That White Demo

AS ordered, the democratic executive
committee of Sumter county will meet
here this morning for the purpose of

The meeting will be held at II

in the Artesian block.
The desire for white primary is
quite general, and it is altogether prob
able that the election will be deter
mined by the white democratic voters
of Sumter county.
This plan obtained in the county
election and was quite satisfactory.
The members of the com nlttee, by
districts, are; 18th r. J. Wade; new

MANY ANXIOUS FOR POSITIONS
Soft Snaps in the Army are in Great
Demand.

Scores and dozens of Georgians are
beseiging the governor for recommen-
dations to appointment in the army,
as officers, of course, But it is doubt
full if any of them.will land. The late re-
organization bill was very particular
as to those who should be appointed,
stating that the men who had served
in the Spanish-American war would be
given the preference. There are some
two hundred thousand of these men,
and the army will never need that
many officers. 1t is very unlikely that
any of the civilians will come in for
commissions, and then if they do it is
said that they must be we'll known to

BUILDING OF FIFTEEN DEpors.
That Number of Towns In Georgia
Will Have Them.

While Americas has two handsome
passenger depots, the equal of any in
the state, there are other towns less
fortunate, though the Railroad Com
mission is coming to the rescue.
During the past six months the state
railroad commission has ordered va
rious railroads in the state to build de-
pots for fourteen different towns, all
of which are more fortunate than At
lanta And the railroads have COM
Piled with the order.
Among the cities named are Haw-
kinsville, Fayetteville, Jackson, Mon
ticello, Bladen, Cordele, Odesadale,
Dublin, Hartwell, Tennille, Lulatown
and Offerman.
Now the commission is thinking OF
ordering the railroads to build separ-
ate stations in Atlanta, which may
mean that big central station will be
constructed. In event the order is is-
sued, the roads would consolidate on
one station.
The commission will meet Friday,
when something important may be
expected.
