Tuesdays mail brought returns
from Selby to the aggregate amount
lof $34, ,416 n. This amount is net
after deduct Of railroad freight
and treatment charges.
The highest return in this lot was
on four tons Of selected ore shipped
by the company which yielded 775
ozs in silver and IL ozs in gold or a
total value Of $7O5 per ton. This
shipment of four tons yielded a net
return of $1,94l 50.
Other high returns were as follows:
From Lease No. 6 a lot of five tons
gave a return of 462 Ozs in silver and
$50 ozs in gold per ton. Another
shipment of four tons from the same
lease gave a return of 1913 ozs in sill
yer and 4.75 ozs in gold per ton.
A shipment of two tons from lease
No. 27 gave return of 100 ozs in
silver and 24.70 ozs in gold per ton.
This ore was from what is known as
the "gold streak"
The foregoing are of course excep-
tional returns from small shipments.
The average value per ton on all
returns received is about 1886 per
ton. The lowest return was one
which gave 100 ozs in silver and l. 10
ozs in gold or a total value of about
$50 per ton.
Several of the most fortunate
individual leasers are reaping the
rewards of their good luck in checks
for big amounts. One lease received
S,9l8 by Tuesdays mail Another
lease received returns to the amount
of $685. at the same time.
Wednesday was a record breaker
in the amount of ore shipped from
the camp in one day. On that day
63 tons left the camp for Sodaville
by freight wagons. The value of this
63 tons at a moderate estimate is
$40, 900 not a bad days work, and a
strong index of the future.

tivity in Tonoopah. This was the
first attempt of the local miners

in line in front of their hall and under
the guidance of Grand Marshal Rob-
ert Hurley marched through the prin-
ciple streets of the town and return
ing to their hall where the literary
exercises were held.
The Rev. Arthur Hicks rendered a
very impressive prayer for the
welfare of the laborer, was followed
by the orator Mr.. Clay Peters, who
delivered very forcible and logical
address, dwelling on the benefits to
be derived from labor and its associ-
alton with capital. The speaker was
frequently applauded during his de-
livery. Our space will not permit Of

we would like to give it to our read

In the single handed contest Hur-
ley won, l9i inches; Salisbury 1871;
Schmidt, liz.
The horse racing was eagerly con-
tested, Oddie's horse, Holy Terror,
wining over Marsh's gray Charger.
Mr.. Oddie says he believes his horse
is world beater, as his horse also
won the handicap race.
Emmet Johnson took first money
and A. ]. Crocker and - Howard
tied for second in the foot race.
In the boys race Master Stevens
was first over the tape with Master
Gilbert close second.
The dance in the evening was largely
attended and was the event of the
season in Tonopah, it was a social
success. In the prize waltz for
ladies, Mrs. James McQuillian was
awarded first prize for the most
graceful lady waltzer, and Mrs. W.
Furgeson, of Delamar, was given the
second prize as the next best lady
waltzer.
