Closing of Public school.

The Tonopah school closed yester.
day for the summer vacation. There
was no exhibition for the reason that
the teachers felt that under the pres
ent circumstances the benefit de-
rived from an exhibition would not be
proportional to the strain and effort
required of both the children and
themselves in drilling and training
for it. Each teacher has had a large
number of classes and pupils and as,
IN justice to the parents and children,
such training would have to be done
entirely outside of lesson hours, it
was deemed impractical for the pres
ent year at least. The teachers
treated the children to all the candy
and nuts they could put in their
stomachs, pockets and hats and the
Youngsters romped md enjoyed
themselves freely all the afternoon.
Repeated storms OF cheering burst
upon the ears of the townspeople
from the school house. The children
cheered the school, the teachers, the
whole world in general and then en-
cord themselves and did it all over
again several times. Song, speech
and dance were given impromptn
and young America enjoyed himself
quite as much as he would have done
if he had been dressed up for the
occasion and had spent month in
learning a new piece" or "di'-
loyue. "

''''''''"C CONTROVERSY
Merits Of Lone Mountain Mining and
"" Development Co. Property.

FnITOR BONANZA Unfortunately
Notwithstanding has arisen be-
auean W c. Jones of Tonopah and
D. poU e D. Van Duzer as TO several
l poo deals which are being pro
s,oted in the east. 1t seems that
norsonal feeling has entered into the
pattcr and led these parties to at
anoL the merits of the different prop.
o or represented by them-one i'll
ouarticular being the Lone Mountain
Wininp and Development company.
As the undersigned is heavily in
.orasted in the above-named mining
comnanv. he is DESTROYS of stating
tbe true condition of the property
belonging to said company.
The Lone Mountain Mining and De-
veIopment company owns six mining
claims known as the Cornelia, Rarus,
Crown Point, Jack and Iron Quartz,
s;tuated in the Lone Mountain dis
trict Esmeralda county, State OF
Nevada. All of said claims have
been staked, and the necessary loca-
ton work done on them. This prop
erty adioins the Utopia group on the
north and the large and rich veins
which traverse that property can be
traced through the Lone Mountain
Mining and Development company s
ground The Utopia company is
working about 80 feet from our end
line and has opened up a very rich
and strong vein, assaying as high as
s125 TO the ton. Surface assays
from the ground of our company run
as high as $40.
Three or four months ago, some
Salt Lake capitalists sent Mr.. Keller,
well known Utah expert, to ex-
anime this property and report on
the same Mr.. Keller spent several
DAYS examining the ground, and
made favorable report recommend
ing that his company take up the
option they had secured. The OPP
ton. hoaever, was allowed to expire
because of a report, maliciously cir
culated, that the Utopia property,
which, as above stated, adlolns 1t,
would soon cease work for the rea-
son that it had not sufficient ore TO
warrant further development work.
When time proved the falsity OF the
report, the Utah people endeav-
ored to renew their option, but were
unable to do, as Mr.. Van Duzer and
the undersigned had purchased an
interest in the group and had taken
steps to promote the property and
raise funds to aid in its development.
This statement is made for fear
that the controversy between Mr..
Jones and Mr.. Van Duzer may lead
the public to believe that the prop
erty is a wild cat and will not stand
Investigation. We do not think it
necessary to refer to any particular
person as to the merits OF the prop
erty in question, but were it neces-
sary there are dozens of reputable
mining men in Tonopah who can at
test TO its worth and the chances it
possesses for becoming a dividend
paying property,
The Lone Mountain mining district
has, during the past few months, had
u phenomenal growth, and proper

Will Be Settled Tuesday Night.

The state papers have given con
siderable space lately to the resolu-
.tion of the Tonopah Miners Union to
discont inue contracting in the mines,
and which will be acted upon next
Tuesday evening. The BoNAnzA
scribe has interviewed members pro
and con upon the resolution and
many favor the contract system
claiming that better wages are
made. The Tonopah Mining COM
pany says that its pay rolls are open
to all who wish to examine them,
that each and all can see what every
miner is earning on contract work.

RICH ORE IN EAST
WINE OF BELMONT
Eight Feet Of $500 Ore in the Bottom
Of Winze-0ther Mining Notes.

vi Wihls-ViheI Mthing N0teS.
For the past three days the winze
on the east drift at 6l4-level of the
Desert Queen shaft, through which
the Belmont is being worked, has
been in eight feet of 5000 ore.
There are seams Of ore through this
eight feet that will assay up in the
thousands, but average assays prove
that the ore will mill $500 per ton.
When this large body of ore is en-.
countered at the 814-level in the
crosscut that is now being run at
least another one hundred million
dollars will be added to the ore in
sight in the Tonopah mines. All
mining men who have examined the
Belmont during the past month are
amazed at the untold wealth to be
seen under ground, and each unhesi-
tatingly pronounce the bonanza the
largest ever found in the world.
MOntana-TOnOpa
The Montana-Tonopah company
have received the returns from the
Salt Lake smelter on 26- ton lot of
ore recently shipped. The ore was
in two lots, first and second class,
about equally divided, giving a net
return of SO, 200. This is the first
lot of ore reduced from the Montana
and will be followed by regular ship
ments. The mine is looking better
every day and is indeed a valuable
property. There is enough ore in
sight to keep % stamp mill running
for years. The ore bodies are large
and known to be of considerable
length as the drifts being driven in
shows If the Montana was on the
Comstock the stock would be selling
for $50 per share.
Rescue.
Superintendent Sheridan of the
Rescue Mining company, reports
that in the early part of the week
small quantities of water began COM
ing in at the bottom of the shaft at a
depth of $50 feet, and by Wednes.
day the amount had increased to
such an extent that it required the
services of one man to cope with the
flow, which is estimated at 400 gal.
Ions per hour. So far the water
has not interfered with sinking,
though it has caused some incon.
venience, but should the volume con-
tinue to increase, pump will have tC
be sent for and put to work.
West End.
On the West End putting down the
shaft has been stopped, with bottom
of the stump eighteen feet below the
500. At the latter level stations are
being cut out and prosecuting both
ways begun. In time, while other
work goes ahead, sinking will be
resumed.

The Ray & O'Brien company will

level. AT depth of $40 feet cross
cutting will be commenced that the

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.

That there is hope in the ranks OF
the Democratic party for success in
the Presidential election in 1904 and
a corresponding apprehension and
fear OF defeat among leading Repub-
licans cannot be denied. Exactly
upon what this hope on the one side
and apprehension on the other are
based is hard to determine. For our
part we ascribe it to a combination
OF circumstances. In the first place,
there is an air OF confidence and abil-
ity In the management and leader
ship in both the House OF Represent
asiyes and the Senate on the minor
fly side-so much so that OF late che
majority have been constantly kept
on the defensive in all measures OF
national Importance. Mr.. Williams,
leader OF the minority In the House,
with rare tact and ability, early In
the extra session of Congress, just
closed, placed the Democratic party
on record as the advocate OF tariff re-
form, virtually abandoning its FORM
or advocacy OF free trade, or its
equivalent, tariff for revenue only,
and thus secured for the Democrats
advocacy OF a measure which num-
bers OF leading Republicans and, we
believe, a majority OF the American
people are anxious to see consum-
mated. There is not man In either
. House OF Congress that does not ad-
mit that the tariff wall erected by the
Dingley bill is not too high in some
places, and yet the Republicans are
forced TO stand for retention OF these
high schedules or adopt, after the
Democrats, the policy OF tariff re-
form. In the Senate, under the lead
ership OF Mr.. German, the Democrats
have likewise adopted offensive war
fare. There is some cobesiveness and
definiteness of plan in their conduct.
Under the recent caucus rule they
are to act together on all questions
of a political nature. In addition to
the benefcent effects OF good and wise
] .adership, the Democrats have
abandoned policies which have time
and again been discredited by the
American people. The Populist ele-
ment has been cut loose; free trade
and free silver have been relegated
TO the rear. On the other hand, Mr..
Roosevelt Is not regarded as sale
man by the business element OF the
country, and yet itispractically con-
coded that he win be the nominee OF
q party in 1904. All things con.
flcrsd, she Democrats have reason

Not until Hyomei was discovered has
IL been possible TO truthiully say that a

This remedy il breathed through the
Hyomel inhaler for few minutes four
times a day. and during that time every
particle OF cir taken into the air passages
and lungs lie impregnated with the germ

the only treatment that cures catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes disor-
dered digestion or brings on some other
diseases and never makes a permanent
cure OF catsrrh. Hyomei not only kills
the germs in the throat and nose. but
penetrates to the minutest air cellsin the
lungs and enters the blood with the
oxygen, killing the germs in the blood. 1t
frees the mucous membrane from poison
Gus microbes and gives perfect health.

includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient
