just north of Tonopah and high assays
have been obtained from the rock.
The worlds championship drilling
contest at Phoenix, Arizona, was won
by Tarr brothers of Globe, over Cham

of the new chairman mill at Ely. 1t
is the largest wet-crushi1g plant in the

tion and pictures it is equipped in the
most modern maner. A cyanide plant
is connected with the mill and all tall
ings are run through before going to
the waste sump.
The Nevada Reduction Works at
Dayton still continue on Tonopah ore.
Two carloads arrived last night, six
the night before and four the night be-
fore that. The works are running at
full blast night and day, and turn out
two bars of bullion, worth about $3.50,
every day. The total output from To-
nopah ore per month at the Dayton
works is something over $4,000 The
honesty of the Dayton mill men is at
tested by the fact that they permit a
representative of the Tonopah people
to be present during the reduction of
the ore. Among the Tonopah people in
Dayton who are having ore worked is
Henry Cutting and a man named

pah with $1S. He expects to realize for

The Psalm Of the Old Soldier.

The blue is fading into gray,
Just as when sunset comes
With bugle calls that die away
And softly throbbing drums;
The shadows reach across the sky
And hush the cares of day;
The bugle call and drum beat die
The blue fades into gray.
The gray is blending into blue
A sunrise glad and fair.
When, in the richness of the dew,
The roses riot there,
The bitterness of yesterday
Is lost to me and you;
The blue is fading into gray
The gray blends into blue.
They're sleeping now the long, long
sleep,
The boys who wore the blue:
Above the gray the grasses creep
And both We're good and true;
And in the twilight of our life,
The ending OF the way
There comes forgetfulness of strife
The blue fades into gray.
Above each mound the lily CLOVIS,
And humble daisies nod
The ruby slory of the rose
Sheds luster on the sod:
The tears-the tears-they are the
dew
That graets the coming day.
The gray is blending into blue
The blue fades into gray.
