Carlo, Harry Days pet spaniel, is
shy his appendix, and in spite of the
fact that he'lost that organ, seems to
be doing well and is on the road to
recovery. A few days ago the dog
developed every sign of appendicitis
and Mr.. Day made up his mind that
the dog was about to pass to the
hunting ground. He called in DR..
Price, veterinary surgeon, and after
looking the case over, it was decided
that the dog had appendicitis in
severe form and an operation seemed
the only remedy. The doctor went
at it and performed an operation
similar to that on man. The opera
tion was success in every particular
and the canine is apparently on the
high road to recovery. This is the
first operation of the kind performed
in the state, and the doctor is de-
cidedly more. tickled than his patient.

TALKS OF TONOPAH
Says TOnOpah viii Be Most Productive
Of Worlds Mining Camps.

Tonopah, it's mines and prospects,
saws the Salt Lake Tribune, has no
more intelligent or vigorous exponent
than is manager James Healey of the
Tonopah & Salt Lake mining COM
pany, who came in from camp yester'
day Saturday to abandon himself to
period of well-earned relaxation.
With ore exposed in every opening
made in the properties of the Tono-
pah & Salt Lake, it has been decided
to suspend further development, said
Mr.. Healy, until reduction works now
approaching completion shall be
ready to begin the active treatment
of ores, when active production from
the properties will begin. The strike
in the North Star ground, which
is verified by him, is characterized
by Mr.. Healey as one of the most
important in the history of the camp,
not only because of the presence of
ore of the value of 5000 per ton, but
tina. it demonstrates conclusively the
continuity of the Montana Tonopah
system of lodges. Just as important
perhaps, is the discovery in the Grand
Trunk, an option of which is being
exercised by John Y, McKane, for if
the ledge within it is not the Mizpah,
or its extension, it is an extension of
that in the Montana Tonopah. The
Ohio -Tonopah, under the management
of S. A. Knapp, and in which Byron
E. Shear of the famous Mollie Gibson
has acquired an interest, is at very
likely point ia its development, with
ore likely to respond to any shot, anC
there are Others Mr.. Healey, whC
has devoted a lifetime to the diggings
has no doubt that Tonopah will b,
made one of the most productive o
the worlds greatest camps, and nov
that the mill long projected Oy thu
Tonopah company is assured thos'
who have invested there can wal
more resignedly on returns from thei
disclosures. Certainly the Tonopal
mine is a leviathan that compare
with the stalwarts of any country
says Mr.. Healey, and the company
justified in the most elaborate equip
ment, Mr.. Healey will remain i
, town for several weeks, dividing hi
: attention between local interests al
pastimes.

Griffith ]. Griffith, the Los Ange-
les millionaire, who attempted to
murder his wife at Santa Monica
couple Of weeks ago. was formerly
a resident of Eureka, Nevada, and
the last number of the Sentinel pub
fishes the following bit of interesting
history concerning his manipulation
of the Wales Consolidated Mining
company
"Griff ]. Grifiths will be remem-

He had a lively and varied career on
the Base Range in the early SOS,
wildcatting the Wales Consolidated

Adams Hill. Griffith ran the stock
up to $13 and succeeded in unloading
"a large amount of it on the San Fran

of that city. He had previously had
short newspaper experience and
sent out such glowing accounts OF
the Wales property to San Francisco
that he had them expecting another
Eureka Con. or Richmond to be de-
veloped in the Wales.
L. L. Robinson, then president of
the Albion Mining company, was re-
siding in Eureka at that time and
knew the merits of the Wales mining
stock proposition Griffiths was pro
noting, and banked on the bubble
breaking, sooner or later Accord
ingly, a pool was run short OF Wales
Consolidated on the San Francisco
exchange, ard Griffith learning OF
the deal and having nearly all the
stock yet in his possession, Robinson
and his friends in the pool were
squeezed for thousands of dollars and
were forced to settle for round sum
After the Wales shaft got a little
below the surface, Griffith had il
guarded closely and allowed no one
to inspect the property. A few
months later, small hosting PLAN
was built and reports published de
scribiug millions of dollars worth o

Interest had by this time reached
a crisis, when a fire broke out tw,
