Mining Management Change.

At meeting of the directors of the
Tonopah Fraction Mining company
recently held in Philadelphia, 7. l.,
Odde was elected general manager
and H. c. West superintendent
Uri B, Curtis, who yields the reins
of management to Mr.. Oddie, has
other large valuable mining interests
in Tonopah, which he intends to i'm
mediately open up. Mr.. West, the
new superintendent, is the assist ant
manager of the Tonopah Mining Com
pany of Nevada. The new officers
have entered upon their duties. The
Fraction to-day is a valuable mine
and an abundance of rich ruby silver
ore is being extracted daily.

The Way He Exported.

A so called mining man hailing from
the auriferous and horticultural zones
of Tuolumne county, Cal, recently
came to Tonopah to inspect the rich
est deposit of mineral known in the
world He imagined that because he
was sent here by man who posses
ses some capital that he was strictly
" it while in Tonopah. The afore-
said mining man from Tuolumne re-
NAMED in town three days ON glori-
Gus drunk spent his money like a
prince said he was good fellow
and wanted the people of Tonopah to
know it. He did not go near mine
or "a ten-foot hole while in camp and
left on the stage drunk, the same as
when he arrived, proclaiming his dis
gust for Tonopah and making the
statement that there was nothing
here Z" This is the way half of these
woud-be mining experts" gain their
information upon which to base their
reports on Tonopah. We are glad
that the drunken expert did not
inspect our mines, for his company is
very cheap one and had he exam
ined some of the purchasable prop
erty in this district he would UNI
doubtedly have invested money for
his cheap company. A drunken ex-
pert is a poor piece of timber

TWO IMPORTANT STRIkES.
Ore Developments In the Montana
Tonopah and the frne tion.

a very important but none the less
expected strike was made at the bot.
tom 81 the Montana Tonopah shaft
on Friday afternoon, The ledge was
encountered at $40 feet depth and is
four feet in width The ore is Of the
same character as that of the Miz
pah ledge. The assays show good
values.
Over $4,000 shares of the stock
changed hands inside of twelve hours,
those on the inside buying all they
could gather in at IS cents per
share.
TOnOpah Fraction.
Our mining report for the current
week is also frightened with an ac-
count of the discovery of magnii-
cent ore at the fartherest point
west of any heretofore developed.
On the Heller claim, formerly
known as the Last Chance, upon
which the shaft designated as the
Fraction No. 3, has been sunk 3l5
feet, there has been opened ledge
of quartz in the regular mineral
bearing formation, the ore which
carries native silver. The work, SO
far, has been accomplished by means
OF a whim, which is now to be re-
placed by hoist as soon as it can be
placed.
The drift from the 230-level 0,
shaft No |, being extended to con
meet with the big working shaft (No-
y, is now out go feet, leaving l6l
feet to run Crosscutting both
north and south is being continued
from the 430- foot station of the three
compartment (No. y, shaft. At the
317-foot point of the same shaft the
west drift is in hard quartz, on ledge
having dip of ~ degrees south,
only one wall of which has as yet
been found. This ledge is expected
to be encountered in shaft No. by
January 10th.

acknowledgements.

The new and main two compart-
ment shaft of the Midway has left
the 100 foot mark above with the
drill and hammer wielders at the bot
tom. Under the foremanship Of
Rose Condor the work is progressing
smoothly and rapidly. At the level
named a ledge of mineralized white
quartz was cut though, which dips
strongly to the west In the ravora-
ble formation exposed the probabili-
ties are very strong that companion
lodges will be developed as the shaft
goes down. 1t is an interesting
speculation as to which of the shafts
out that way, extending northwest
erly from the Mizpah, will be the first
to strike it.

The shaft on the New York Tono-
pah, which, beyond question, lies on
the westerly trend of the rich lodges
disclosed in the Stone Cabin works Of
the Salt Lake company, has reached
the depth of 500 feet. Progress
downward is through blue-bla por-

about 5000 feet nearly north from the

sents an excellent surface showing of
mineralized formation. Further de-
velopment work will be inaugurated
Immediately 1t will be observed that
the grantors held the property in
such estimation that they do not part
with more than half of it. The gen
eraI opinion among the best informed
of mining men is that bodies of rich
ore exist in that most promising sec
ton, requiring only intelligent effort
to open them out.

Our Many Bachelors.

The last census showed that there
were in the whole country 5,427, 767
bachelors, against 1924, 494 spinsters-
an excess of 6S per cent. of bachelors
over the unmarried women. There
was not any state in the union that did
not have more bachelors than single
women, even Massachusetts exhibiting
a small fractional overpius of unat-
tached males of manageable age. To
account for this situation of affairs
it was explained that, the mass of the
population of each state being paired
off by marriage evenly as between the
sexes, only a relatively small fraction
of single persons old enough to marry
was left over. In most states the male
part of this fraction was much in ex-
cess Of the female part. And it.m5st
also be remembered that women mar
ry much younger than men-Phiiadel-

HAssAN,s PRovsRR.

King Hassan, well beloved, was wont to
say,
When aught went wrong, or any labor
failed:
Tomorrow, friends, will be another
day.
And in that faith he slept, and so pre-
valid.
Long live this proverb! While the world
shall roll
To-morrows fresh shall rise from out
the night.
And new-baptize the indomitable soul
With courage for its never-ending fight.
No one. I say, is conquered till he yields;
And yield he need not while, like mist
from glass
God wipes the stain of life's old battle
fields
From every morning that He brings to
pass.
New day. new hope, new courage! Let
this be,
o soul, thy cheerful creed. What's yes
terday,
With all it's shards and wrack and grief
to thee?
Forget it then-here lies the victor's
way.
