TOnOpah Tunnel and Mining Co.

A consolidation of great import
ance to this camp has been effected
between the Tonopah Tunnel and
Mining company, the Tonopah Bel
mont Mining company, and the
Acenith Mining company, to be
called the Tonopah Belmont Develop
ment company. This company has
the greatest prospective value of
any in the camp outside of the main
group of mines, as it has the east
extension of the Mizpah, Burro and
Valley claims. 1t is known fact
which has been proven, that the rich
ore shoots on the veins all dip to the
east toward Mt. Oddie, and as all
of the principal veins in camp, viz.
the Mizpah, Burro and Valley View
series converge toward this noun
tain, which is now controlled by the
new consolidation, great future is
predicted for this consolidation.
This new company has purcta sed the
rights of the old G. 4 H.. Tunnel,
which has been constantly and dill
gently operated for over a year and
half through Mt. Oddie. This tun-
mel has the prior right to anything
on the mountain and CLAIMS strip of
land 3, 900 by 1900 feet. In addition
to this tunnel right this new consolit
dation owns the following claims
The Silver State, Occidental, Favor
lite, Belmont, Shoestring, Tesuro,
Ohio, Delmonte, |. o. U Lilly Bell
and Des Moines.
A theory which had some weight
up to short time ago, was that the
Mizpah vein swung around to the
north of this property on its easterly
course, also that supposed dyke
cut it off, but as it has held its course
trongly in going east for over BOG
feet beyond the supposed dyke and is
still strong, and shows no sign OF
turning off, this theory is exploded,
The supposed dyke has turned out to
be nothing more than later flow OF
rhyolite breccia, and the ledge has
been proven to exist in the deep
seated rhyolite porphyry far below
this surface flow and several hundred
feet east of IT, This property is
therefore absolutely sure of contain
ing the Mizpah, Burro and Valley
View series of lodges as stated
above, where they come together, as
they are all converging toward q
point on this ground, and at this
point in depth the greatest bonanzas
the camp will ever contain will un
doubtedly be found.

liable possessions a water supply
sufficient for, not alone its proposed
milling plant, but also for the require
ments OF similar other works in the
district
Assays OF ores extracted from the
Lucky Tom claim, ten feet from the
surface, showed $50 to the ton in
gold, and surface groupings from the
six other claims assayed from 81 to
s26 per ton, seventy-tive per cent of
which was gold. Although not first
in point OF location of its claims, the
Lucky Tom Company was in reality
the first incorporated company to
begin operations in Gold Mountain
district; its incorporation under the
laws of Arizona, with capitalization
of 1000, 900 shares, non assessable,
at par value of one dollar per share,
having been effected in July of the
present year.
In the matter of locating, record
ing, surveying and developing the
claims of the Lucky Tom company
have been handled with marked
ability and enterprise, and to these
qualities on the part of the company 5
executive officers is due much of the
confidence placed by the stockholders
in the investment.
The following well-known citizens
of Tonopah are the officers and dir
ectors of the Lucky Tom ConsOli-
dated, namely: T. w. Kendall, pres
ident; Roger Dougherty, vice-presi-
dent Jas. II. Forman, secretary;
Chas. ]. Young, Tom Colehan, Albert
Stevens and Key Pittman, the State
Bank and Trust Company at Tono
pah being the depository of the com
pany S funds. Immediately following
its organization, the Lucky Tom com
pany placed on the market 30, DOG
shares of its treasury stock at tif-
teen cents per share, but, owing tC
a most favorable showing in the de-
velopment work on the Lucky Tom
and Star of the West claims, this is,
sue was recalled by the directors,
who ordered instead an issue Of
80, 900 shares to be sold at twenty
five cents each. The latter, by those
best acquainted with the company
property, its management AMI prom
ising indications. are regarded as
one of the safest and most inviting
investments in Gold Mountair
district.

David Keith and q. S. Senator
kerens of Utah Mr., Hensel also
bought the Outing, Fat Boy and
Triangular claims, which are known

COlehan Mining Co.

The Coehan ledge extends through
the west end lines of the St. Cloud
and is found upon the Eliza Jane, one
of the claims belonging to the Cole
han Mining company, whose holdings
are a westerly extension of the Tono-
pah Union. The Coehan company
owns the Eliza Jane, Star of the East
No. /, Polo, Star of the East No. 2,
Desert King and President. These
are on the main ore zone, along which
the groupings of intersecting lodges
are exposed. Mr.. Colehan proposes
to drop a main shaft at least 300
feet and then crosscut the entire
belt, which is known to be 400 feet
wide. Surface ores assay from So to
800 per ton. We venture the opin-
ion that here, in mining depths, will
be fond the most regular and best
incased ore bodies on the line.
The property is capitalized in one
million shares Of stock at 81, with
30, 900 shares of treasury stock. The

Gold Mountain Con. NJ. Co.

One of the new organizations
which has organized and commands
property of the greatest prospective
value on the big mineral belt is the
Gold Mountain Consolidated Mining
company, which consists of the follow
ing well known Tonopahites: Roy
Ridge, Thos. Colehan. H. Revert, f.
C. Dart, Key Pittman, T. f. Ed
wards, ID. H. Mcdonald The incor-
poration exists under the liberal laws
Of Arizona, and has capitalization
of 100000 shares at 81 each. Its
group of claims is a portion of the
original Colehan locations, and joins
the grounds of the company on the
east and west A number of veins
crop out on the surface, which carry
gold values ranging from 50 to $50
per ton. On the East Side claim an
outclop shows very prominently
above the surrounding formation,
from which assays have been taken
running from $40 to SCI 80 gold. At
this chimney the company will sink a
prospecting shaft, and upon uncover
ing an ore body of sufficient extent
and value to warrant further devel-
opment, a main working shaft will be
sunk. Mr.. Ridge left last week for
Salt Lake and Kansas City to effect
further arrangements regarding the
development of the property.
The Lucky Tom Mining Co.
The property of the Lucky Tom
Mining Company Consolidated is with
out question one of the most valuable
in Gold Mountain district. 1t con
sists of seven claims known, respec-
lively, as the Lucky Tom, Happy
Hooihan, Star of the West, Marie,
Lake View, Queen and King Edward
and in area exceeds one hundred and
forty acres. On the north it is
bounded by the claims of the Coehan
Mining company, on the east by
those of the Gold Mountain Consol-
dated Mining company, on the south
by the, so far, unincorporated claims
located on Youngs Peak. 1t is ira
versed by the several immense tis-
sures that run through the district,
notably the main assure running

tending northerly for II distance of
400 feet entirely through the hold

Then the sun went down, and the

TEACHING OBEDIENCE.
To Make Children Mind" While They
Are Little Will BE n Help to
Them in After-Life.

There are many mothers who find it
exceedingly difficult to command the
obedience of their children, and are
often tempted to give up trying. But,
however great the effort required, it
should be made for the good of the
child, as a habit of disobedience has
far-reaching. evil consequences.
The difficulty may be lessened some
what if few simple rules are kept in
mind. Forone thing, the mother should
be careful not to make foolish or IN
just demands, or forbid the doing of
what is in reality harmless. Likewise,
she should never tell a child to dc, or
not to do, a certain thing, unless she
positively means it; this would do
away with the change of mind so com
mon with many mothers-the saying:
You cannot" or You must" and
then allowing themselves to be leased
into reluctant You may" or you
need not" Again, a mother should
avoid giving any command which she
is not reasonably sure she can enforce,
If worse comes to worse, for failure
in this regard is sure to lessen the
child's respect for her, and perfect
obedience is impossible without re-
spect.
Having made the commands as few
as is consistent with proper discipline,
then the mother must be watchful and
see that the command is obeyed, al
ways and promptly.
There is an opinion, more or less
common, that child who is made to
mind, is less happy than one who is
not, but this is not the case. The
child who knows that he must obey,
that there is no getting away from
it, has something solid to depend on
and will not waste his time in useless
fretting; while the uncertainty of not
knowing whether obedience will be re.
CURED or not, tends to restless, dis
contented, irritable state of mind.
Neither, as some think, is harshness
necessary. The command can always
be given pleasantly, and may often
take the form of request or sugges-
ton. Firmness is what is needed, not
harshness.
The truest happiness goes hand in
hand with law and order. The child
is subject to the parents law, but as
he grows older he becomes-or should
become-more and more subject to the
law of God. If, in childhood, he has
been trained to the habit of prompt
and cheerful obedience to parental au'
thority, it will be much easier for MIN,
when he passes from that authority.

WOMEN AT THE FORGE.
Four English Girls Who Can Make
the Anvil Ring as CIeverIy as
Any Male JOurneyman,

The United States is the country in
which it is supposed that more women
are found engaged in masculine occu.
pations than in any other part of the
world. In England, however, woman
has entered the blacksmith shop. The
many wars of Britain have drawn away
much of the male population in the ru-
raj districts, so that a village smith
near Leeds has resorted to female
help.
At this particular forge each morn.
ing four daughters of the master
smith are to be seen at the anvils fol.
lowing the trade of their father. The
fair blacksmiths are engaged during
