NEWS AND NOTES OF THE MINES.

The Midway Mining company is
pushing operations forward as rapid
ly as possible so as to have ore ready
for milling as soon as the new mill
shall have been completed. A repre-.
sentative Of the Bonanza visited this
mine on Wednesday and went through
all of the drifts and crosscuts of the
535 level where most of the work is
being done. Samples OF ore were
taken at various places and the gold
and silver assays OF the pieces from
these various localities showed as
follows: North ledge, SAT SO; south
ledge raise, $444 "a, and south ledge
west drift, 1926. Al.
Work in the north crosscut of this
mine has been suspended pending the
provision of better ventilation, but
at other places on the same level
shifts are at work on development
and the removing of ore. The north
ledge, which is As feet north of the
shaft, seems to be about six feet
wide and on this ledge the west drift
is in about twenty five feet. The
south ledge lies about 81 feet south
Of the shaft and the drifting has gone
1870 feet west and about 100 feet east
This ledge show an average width Of
seven feet aud both drifts are in good
ore. In the west drift, about seven
ty-tive feet from the crosscut, an up
raise has been started and high
grade ore is being removed. The
north crosscut had been driven 420
feet when operations were discon.
tinued, and the south crosscut is out
100 feet. The general appearance
and progress OF the Midway is ex-
ceedingly gratifying to those inter
ested in the property.

BRUTAL MURDER
ATLONE MOUNTAIN
Young Italian Boy Shot By
MexicanS
John DeIlasalva ParaIyzed and in a
Dying Condition. Assault Seems
UnprovOked.

What gives every indication OF
proving one OF the most cold blooded
murders ever committed IN this state
occurred at Lone Mountain last Mon.
day. John Dellasalva, the victim, at
this time lies in paraly2ed condition
and the physicians have pronounced
bis recovery impossible, although
since the shooting he has displayed a
remarkable vitality, having stood the
trip from Lone Mountain to Tonopah.
John Delasalva is one OF four
brothers, all OF whom are Italians and
speak very little English. He is only
twenty years old and appears even
younger than he is. A statement of
the affair secured from him through
an interpreter, is as follows:
He had been working some months
at Lone Mountain, packing wood
down the mountain side. Several
weeks ago he had some slight dis
agreement with two Mexicans, named
Cedro and Marco. The affair had
been almost forgotten by him until
the shooting affray OF last Monday.
At this time he was just reaching
the foot OF the mountain with his
pack train, when shot was fired at
him from behind a wood pile, where
be then noticed the two Mexicans,
Cedro and Marco One of them said,
1--WE came to get one Italian, and
with that three more shots were
fred Cedro did the shooting and
after Delasalva had received flesh
wound in the abdomen, he tried to
run but fell after he had been shot in
the back just below the shoulders.
The wounded boy was brought to
Tonopah, where he was attended by
Drs, Piper, Garner and Hammond.
The physicians discovered that Of
she four shots fred, only two took
effect, one passing through after in
ficting slight flesh wound in the
abdomen, while the other had cut the
spinal cord and lodged inside To
remove this bullet, they concluded,
would mean instant death to their
patient, so 1t was allowed TO remain
although no hopes are expressed OF
the boys surviving more than few
days.
This affair took place in Esmeralda
county and it was stated that Prose
cutting Attorney Green OF that place
would come in and take the boy
dying statement. AS yet he has not
done so, nor has either of Delasalva S
assailants been arrested as ac-
cording to latest reports. There
were no witnesses TO the affair and
conviction is thought to be exceed
ingly ditficHlt unless the boys state
ment can be taken.

THANKSGIVING AT
THE MIZPAH CLUB
Dinner in Clubs Enlarged
Quarters
Delightful Spread Enjoyed by Members
And Guests. Some Clever
ToaStS Given.

The homeless and bachelor element
of Tonopah's population, and many
who are neither homeless nor bache-
lors, gathered around the festal
board at the Mizpah club on Thanks
giving evening and enjoyed a spread
which will long be remembered by
all of those who partook.
The club members gratefully con-
cede the credit of the entertainment
to Mrs. j. J. Kermeen, who had been
given cart blanc to proceed as she
saw fit in the matter of menu and
decorations. The result was that
long table was installed. which ran
the entire length of the reading room
and on this a course dinner with
wines to the taste was served. In
addition to electrical decorations
which added greatly to the beauty OF
the OCCASION the table was adorned
with q profusion of smilax, carnations
and California copo da ora. The
color sche me proved so soothing that
many of the members expressed sat
isfaction that the California flower
had been chosen instead of our own
-sagebrush. The committee on en-
tortainment cor sisted OF U. b. Curtis,
A. c. Eisen and Hugh H. Brown,
and these we're the gentlemen who
transferred their duties to Mrs.
Kermeen with such satisfactory re-
suits.
The banquet was opened by Father
Butler, who said grace He occupied
the foot of the table, opposite X. p.
Dunlap, who acted as master Of cere-
monies. Mr.. Dunlap announced; tha +
regrets had been received from many
OF the invited guests and also that
the program of toasts, as originally
contemplated, could not be carried
out, owing to the fact that many of
those whose eloquence should have
graced the occasion were dining with
their families or elsewhere.
An after dinner speech which
elictited rounds Of applause was de-
livered by H, W. Knickerbocker. 1t
treated in an abstract way of the
sweet uses Of adversely and termi-
mated with quota tion from the Ru-
baiyat which proved most apropos.
Mr.. Knickerbocker's delivery is most
graceful and appealing.
One of the guests of the dinner,
who also made an appropriate little
talk, was Mr.. Devereaux of Colorado
who has recently come to Tonopah.
A fiasblight picture of the banquet
was taken when the gaiety was at
its height, and nearly everyone pres
ent has arranged to secure one of
these photographs as; a souvenir OF
the occasion. So delightful did the
the Mizpah clubs Thanksgivings din
ner prove, that many of the members
are enthusiastic over having frequent
gatherings of similar nature. The
addition of another front room to the
club allowed ample space for the en-
tertainment, and this enlargement
of the quarters will make the club
rooms of the Mizpah an excellent
place for all future gatherings.

Visitors Won out in Y. NJ. C. A. Bas-
ket Rail- Match by Narrow Margin.
The Charleston Y. NJ. c. A. basket
ball team defeated the Savannah asso-
citation team last night after a close
and exciting match by narrow mar
gin. The match was spirited and well
played from the beginning to the end
and was anybody's to the very last
moment of play. The Charleston team
was strong one and put up beauti-
full game, but equally so was the play
of the home team and the visitors
complimented them handsomely upon
their excellent team work. The at
tendance was large and every feature
of the game was enjoyed.
AT the end of the first half the score
stood is to ii in favor of Charleston.
Charleston won out at the finish by a
total of 80 to 20 points. The visitors
made 10 goals from field to- Savan-
nafs u, each goal counting 2. points,
and Is. goals from the foul line to. 5
by, Savannah, each counting i point.
The Savanna hans are not the aleast
sore at the outcome of the match, and
are loud in their praise of,the mastery
playing of the visitors. On the other
hand the Charleston boys were pro-
fuse in their praise of the home team
The visitors reached the city short
Iy before noon and spent the afternoon
in visiting the points of interest in

aged by Violin Playing.
& From the Indianapolis News.
I What force least expected does the
question asked a well-known architect.
The architects answer may be sur
prise to those who do not understand
that it is the regularity of vibration
that makes it powerful Itt
sit is difficult to TELL" replied the
architect, 'but I will venture to say
that you would never expect violin
playing to injhre the walls of build
ing. Yet it certainly does. There
have been instances when the walls of
stone and brick structures have been
seriously damaged by the vibrations
from a violin. OF course these cases
are unsuaI. but the facts are establish
ed.
1.-THE vibrations of a violin are really
serious in their unseen, unbounded
force, and when they come with reg
ularity they exercise an influence up-
on structures of brick, stone or iron.
Of course it takes continuous playing
for many years to loosen masonry or
to make iron brittle, but it will do it
in time.
81 have often thought of what the
result might be If a man would stand
at the bottom of a nineteen-story light
wall on the first floor of the great Ma
sonic Temple in Chicago and play there
continuously. The result could be
more easily seen there than almost
anywhere else because the vibration
gathers force as II sweeps upward.
Amman can feel the vibrations of a
violin on an ironclad ocean vessel and
at the same time be unable to hear the
music. It is the regularity which
means so much. Like the constant
dripping of water which wears away a
stone, the incessant vibration OF the
violin makes its way to the wall and
attacks their soiidity"
