matter regarding. woman's work;
our general correspondence depart
ment, for the free discussion of all
sides of all public questions; reli-

reports of the damage caused by the
great storm along the Atlantic coast
Tuesday night were brought in to-day
by tramp steamships and sailing
crafts which were caught in the gale
and damaged more Or less.
Captain Bussells, of the Atlantic
Fisheries Company, who brought in
safely the fishing steamship Atlantic,
reports to-day that there can be no
doubt of the loss of the fishing
steamship Beatrice, which went down
with fifty souls aboard, all of whom,
Bussells says, persisted.
Marine men estimate that as many
as 1875 lives were lost at sea along
this coast in Tuesday nights gale.

but we do know that it is under strict

pain results. Irregular living means

enthusiasm was manifested. A pref

following resolutions were offered
by the committee a. D. Egerton,

solved by the Franklin County Farm
ers' Alliance:
/. That we protest against the ac-
ton of the American Tobacco Com
pany in putting the price of tobacco
below the cost of production.
3. That we urge all classes of ou1
citizens to lend their aid to our op,
pressed brethren at this time.
8. That we urge our farmers tc
hold their tobacco as long as possible
and to organize at once for their OWL
protection.
4. That we solicit the aid of oul
merchants, warehousemen and Others
in this fight against the American
Tobacco Company.
s.. That local stock companies b.
formed to buy and manufacture to
bacco.
6. That a copy of these resolution
be spread upon minutes and
copy be sent to the Franklin Time
for publication with request that 9th
er papers, friendly to the masses

Deep DEPOSITS in
THE MIzPAH MINE
Diamond Drill Penetraies Ore al q
Depth Of $50 Feet.

Unknown generally TO the public a
diamond drill was set up in the Miz.
pah mine, at the 200 foot station. a
couple of weeks ago, and since that
time has been kept busily at work in
quest of ore This week a body of
ore twenty-five feet thick was pene.
trated 100 feet below the station,
proving beyond any peradventure of
doubt that the great Mizpah ledge is
going down ''in the even tenor of its
way" regardless Of the statement
that has gone abroad that crosscut-
ting failed to find it at a depth of 700
feet, and more than that it is holding
up in its values.
The ledge was also struck last week
in the south crosscut of the Mizpah
at distance of 100 feet from the
700 foot station in the main shaft.
No drifting has been done on it yet,
but this will follow in the next week
or two.
During the week a large body 81
high grade ore was opened up in the
east Wine OF the 400-foot level, and
work thus far has failed to determine
its width.
In the shaft of the Valley View be-
low the 700foot level a new ledge,
carrying average values, has also
been cut.
The Belmont winze from the GA
sta ion is now down ffty-fve feet,
and there is no change either in the
valve or the extent Of the wonderful
body of ore recently opened up.
The main shaft of the Belmont is
down $40 feet. and will be pushed
rapidly till 1Ol4 feet is reached when
crosscut will be run to tap the
ledge found at the GA. At the S14
foot station the north crosscut is in
ia feet, and if calculations do not
miscarry sixty feet more of work
will lead to the big ledge.
Recently a rtyfour horse power
gasoline engine and hoist was in
stalled at the old Belmont shaft on
the east side of Oddie noun tain, and
work is progressing favorably at
that point. The shaft is now down
$40 feet, and it is the purpose of the
company to push it vigorously till a
depth of 1000 feet is reached.

The Esperanza.

The Tonopah correspondent of the
Pacific Coast Miner has the following
to say of the Esperanza property
and the recent manipulation of its
stock:
'The first mine to fall a victim to
stock manipula tions and bad manage
ment by the directors is the Esper-
ANA, at Lone Mountain, which was
only incorporated in March and the
office improperly taken to San Fran
cisco, where that exchange was
utilized by a few stockholders as a
medium for unloading their own stock
instead of selling treasury stock. As
consequence the company's treas
ury is practically exhausted, although
a remittance in settlement of the re-
cent shipment of ore is daily expect
ed. A. G.. Cushman, the late presi-
dent, has been replaced by Key
Pittman, one of Tonopah's foremost
attorneys. The Esperanza is a most
promising prospect, and as its finan-
cial affairs will now be properly con-
Quoted, it stands good chance OF
being properly developed.

WATER GALORE IS
BEING DEVELOPED
The Rye Patch Scheme Promises All
Kinds Of Biz Things.

The efforts Of the Tonopah Water
company, which is exploiting the
ground at the Rye Patch for the
purpose Of securing water in suffi-
cient quantities TO warrant the put
ting in OF a pipe line to Tonopah, are
being rewarded with success far
beyond their most sanguiue hopes.
The company has drilled and en-
cased u number of ten inch wells,
the deepest of which is $50 feet deep.
In the latter five strata of clay and
gravel, each about thirty feet in
thickness, have been passed through,
and each produces a big flow of
water.
But one actual test of the amount
OF water that can be obtained
has been made, and that was
from thirty five foot well, in
which the pipe had been driven
within few inches OF the bottom.
To this pipe a pump was attached,
and in twenty-four hours 1900 gal
Ions was secured without lowering
the water, proving an immense pres
sure from below.
K. G. Wheeler, manager of the
company, was in town during the
week, and stated that he is now
prepared to enter into contracts for
the delivery of water for all purposes.

ESPERANzA COMPANY
ORDERS new WORK
Contract LET TO Sink Wine Two
Hundred and Forty Feet.

At a Meeting Of the board Of direc.
tors OF ~ EsperanZa company held
Tuesday afternoon the resignation OF
Henry C. Cutting as secretary of the
company was received and Mark
Averill was elected TO I'LL the va
cancy.
A contract was let to A. ], Poak
10 sink the winze, now down sixty
feet on the Silver King claim, a dis
lance of 240 feet on the ledge. I'm
der the terms OF the contract, to
which Mr.. Poak is bound, he is to
nile I'D and save all the ore extracted
and for his labor he will be paid in
treasury stock.
Zeb Kendall, general manager of
the company, reported TO the direc-
tors that on Monday, in company
with Key Pittman, he visited the
property and found that the last
eight feet sunk in the winze disclosed
a ledge of quartz two feet wide, and
Of this 20 per cent was high grade
shipping ore, assaying as high as
81, 775 to the ton.
twas also brought to the notice of
the directors that a local mining man,
pretending to be a mining expert,
had recently visited the property at
the solicitation of one of the direc-
tors; that on his return he stated
publicly that the property was no
good and that there was no ore in
sight. In contradic ton of these as
sertions Mr.. Kendall produced a sack
Of ore. which he and Mr.. Pitman ex-
tracted from the bottom OF the
winze, and this evidence, with the
statements made by him and Mr.
Pittman, led to the conclusion that
the aforesaid mentioned mining ex-
pert was either an ignoramus or that
he had maliciously endeavored to in.
jure the property.
