What the Brook Saw.
BY MAY II. BRINCKLEY.

Copyright. 1902. by Daily Story Pub Coz
In shady spot of Il cool green wood
little brook rested between its mossy
banks. The air was heavy with the
warm scents of summer and all around
the voices of the forest were whisper
Ing softly. They told strange stories
OF the far away world of men and
sang of love and happiness and many
other wonderful things; while over all
the yellow sunshine rested lovingly.
The little brook was content to loiter.

From its bed in the mountain 1t had
come journeying swiftly down; past
narrow jutties and through high SOM

brook laughed at their grimness with
a merry tinkle. only tumbling bolster

its haste to reach the warm blue sky.

down the thirsty throat of the dark

crystal clearness.
Then on and on; slowly through
meadows and corn-land fields, where
the little ground people came out to
drink and to gather the news brought
by the brook from all along its way.
And softly stealing under dainty
bridges, where many rustic knight
had wooed and won his lady, the little
brook bubbled on.
And into the deep still wood 1t stole,
where the sunlight glimmered fitfully
through the leaves of the tall oak trees
and cast green patches of light on the
ground below, where, save for the gen.
tie murmuring of the things of the
forest, everything was still with the
soft hush of a summer moon. 1t was

Vale, 1901.

There was sound of revelry by
night in Tonopah upon the expira-
ton of the year and, incidentally, the
termination of the mining leases out
of which so many capable men have
made fortunes and contributed in no
small degree to the Golfers of the
mine owners. As might well be ex-
pected, all the forces that could be
advantageously employed continued
extraction of the rich ores up to the
last moment, when in all accord a
united discord arose that quaked the
mountains and caused reverberations
that walked the goodly town, or
would if there had been anybody
asleep.
The general, spontaneous iollifica-
ton in way emphasized most COM
mendable characteristic of Tonopah,
/. e: the universal exhibition of good
natured fun and total absence of any
i'll feeling as to the crowds or individ-
uals. The passing of an eventful and
prosperous year, and the advent of a
new one of equal promise, was OBJ
served in a manner that will form a
creditable page in the history of our
camp.

Valuable Ground Bonded,

Dewitt B. Lowe, after three days
sojourn in Tonopah, and thorough
investigation of the mines in operation
and a study of the mineral zone, and
having his own opinion backed up by
the knowledge and judgment of Mr..
Hasbrook, an old and thoroughly ex-
perienced and practical miner, took
an option on a group of nine claims
owned by Mr.. D. F. Mccarthy. This
group adjoins the Gold Hill and G & H
mines, and cover the mineral crop
pings on the south and east of those
above mentioned, and that are al
ready producing ore.
When Brougher Bros. & Co. get
their steam hoist in operation on the
Gold Hill which will replace the within
now in use, that portion of the min
eral belt immediately in the town of
Tonopah will attract the attention
the property so well deserves.
Brougher Bros. & Co. are at present
drifting from the 120-foot level on the
Gold Hill property, where they have
encountered large vein of shipping
ore; no STOPPING is being done, for it is
the purpose of the Gold Hill manage
ment to thoroughly prospect and
open their property before extracting
ore. Mr. Mccarthy began work on
his group Wednesday, and will con-
tinue development work pending
the few days option Mr.. Lowe has
upon the ground. The purchase
price is $3.50, 900, 10 per cent of which
is paid down when the transfers are
made.
This sale of claims is but another
evidence of the confidence prac teal
mining men have in the permanency
of our mines; and quoting from Mr..
Hasbrook " shaft sunk to the depth
of 200 feet and short drifts extended
on any of our well located claims
would develop wealth sufficient to
make fortunes for us ALL" Success
to Mr.. Lowe and Mr.. Mccarthy and
the company they may represent.

4 New Manager.

1t has been known by a few for
some little time that the director of
the Tonopah Mining Company of Ne
vada had under consideration the
appointment of T. l.. Oddie as man
ager of their mines in Tonopah, and
to these few knowing ones it was not
a surprise when the news came from
an authentic source that Mr.. Oddic
had been appointed to fill this respon-
sible position Every person in
speaking of the new appointment
expresses the opinion that the com
pany has made no mistake this time
in the selection of a general man
ager, and had they in the first place
made Mr.. Oddie their manager
things would have been in good
shape to-day. The company can rest
assured that at last they have a man
who will attend strictly to mining
and mining alone, and not interfere
with other peoples business or ac-
cept a percentage from any outside
business whatever Mr.. Oddie is of
good morals and gentle manners and
is a general favorite with every per
son in Tonopah. We predict that in
ten years service for the company
he would not have one enemy. He is
a practical man who well under
stands mining, and who will develop
the Butler group as it should be.
The company must first build a
railroad into ronopah, establish a
system of water works and an cleo
trio power plant to operate their
mill. A railroad first, then reduc-
ton works, for it is now proven that
the lodges are large and permanent
that there is enough ore in sight to
warrant the outlay of the large
amount of capital necessary to bring
the iron horse to our door.
Mr.. Oddie has very wisely APP
pointed Fred J, Siebert superinten-
dent for the company, who will APP
point his own foreman and shift
bosses. Mr. Siebert is a practical
mining man, which augurs much for
the company. With Messrs, Oddie
and Siebert at the wheel the Tonopah
Mining Company of Nevada will pros
per and its mines will be worked sys-
tematically. The new appointments
foretell prosperity for lonopah and
its mining district. The new officers
will arrive home from the East about
the 7th inst, and will be warmly
welcomed by our citizens.
The good will of the populace of a
mining district is half of the battle of
the mine dividend payer.
Mr.. Oddie has not only the good will
of our people but he is loved by the
entire people of this section. The
BONANZA can assure the directors of
the company that they have acted
wisely, and now that they have
good man at the head of the mine
management we say keep him there,
and the company will prosper.
