ARemarkable Case.

One of the most remarkable cases ofa cold,
deep seated on the lungs, causing pneumonia,
is that Of Mrs. Gertrude +. Fenner, Marion,
Ind, who was entirely cured by the use of
One Minute Cough Cure. She says: THE
coughing and straining so weakened Inc that
ran down in weight from las TO 92 pounds;
tried number of remedies to no avail until
used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles
of this wonderful remedy cured me entirely
of the cough, strengthened my lungs and re,
stored me to my normal weight, health and

should the present mild weather COL
tinue few days longer they will
gradually work their way up the bay;
In about two weeks time both shad and
herring will be in the river. The fisher
men are preparing for the seasons

sanguine. There is, however, notelling
at present what will be the result OF
their ontlay and labOrs.

The Advertising Bill.

An advertising periodical says that
when one of two merchants in the same
line of trade advertises and the other
does not, the latter pays the advertising
bill of the former in loss of trade. This
is true in measure; but the gain of the
advertiser is not limited to the trade
which he wins from the other. His adj
vertising creates trade. Itinduces people
to buy who would not otherwise feel i'm
PEELED to buy.

MAKING CHANGES
Fred ]. Siebsrt Slated For the
General Managership.
sHIPMERTSTOBE SUSPENDED
LIST OF FANCY sALARIED Off
GERS TO BE TRIMMED.

From advices which have just
reached the city there seems to be lit
tie or no doubt that the great Tonopah
Mining company is preparing to open
the new year on a business basis that
cannot fail to find favor with the share
holders. not only here, but everywhere
else. The report is to the effect that the
list Of fancy salaried officers is to be
trimmed down TO such an extent that
no one viii be able to find fault. while
other important changes VIII go into
effect. Until the completion of the
railroad into camp. which is promised
for sometime in May. the number of
men employed In thu mine is to be
materially reduced and little, if any,
ore shipped to market AS there is no
longer any doubt Of the building Of the
road. IT is argued that there is no ne
Cessity for paying the heavy freight
rates required in team transportation
and that expense will be Topped off.
The feature Of the changes which viii
most interest Salt La1ers, perhaps is
that relating TO the management of the
mines. TX is said that superintendent
Fred j. Siebert has been called east
and that when he returns he viii come
as general manager Of all the COM
pany's properties. It is said that Man
ager Oddie's resignation is already in
Mr. Slebert has been selected to sue
coed him. Why Mr.. eddie is to retire
is not known. but the impression is
that he wishes to devote his entire time
to personal affairs as there has been
no intimatiou of friction between him
and the directorate of the company
It viii be remembered that Mr.. Sic
bert first went TO TOnopah from Park
City to take charge Of the properties
in which David Keith and others were
interested. While in the camp he was
rendered the superintendency Of the
Tonopah company's mines and at once
accepted it. Since then the develop
ment of the mines has been under his
personal supervision, and his advance
ment is looked upon here as a just re-
ward Of merit.
After tine railroad has been complet-
ed to the camp the company viii begin
the movement of ore to market on a
very extensive scale and the mine viii
again be filled with men. In the mean
time, it is understood, nothing viii be
done other than TO continue sinking
the main shaft and prospect the re-
covered ledge at depth.

MAJESTIC sMELTER RUN.
Analysis Of What Was Accomplished
in Forty Days.

some preliminary figures have been
made up on the results Of the recent run
Of the Majestic smelter, and they make
a splendid showing Tor the smelling
plant as well as for the mines. These
figures have not been officially verified
mately correct. but 10 win be found
that they are not TAR out OF the way,
In considering This demonstration run
Of the smelter II should be constantly
borne ia mind that tho cost Of operation
of an initial run IS necessarily heavier
than the cost would be under continuous
operation. During the time that the
Majestic plant was iT. operation various
items Of expense were gradually reduced
or eliminated and the average. cost per
ton was less during the last half than
during the first half Of the period. More
over. the plant was not worked an full
capacity until towards the end Of the
run. when it handled over 200 tons of ore
per day. the average for the entire run
having been 40 tons. 1t viii therefore
be seen that the plant is capable Of max
ing a much more tavoranle showing I'M

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Holiday Season Made Business Very
Light During the Week.


TOO much Christmas has made bust
ness on the mining exchange very light
during the past week, Notwithstanding
the fact that the doors were closed for
one day only. For five DAYS a total Of
value Of $6S,OZ2-S0, changed hands. The
railing Off, as compared with the week
preceding, amounted an to G9,5S5 shares Of
stock and sol, l5l-19 in money value. The
light demand for stocks and the needs OF
the holiday season has had a tendency to
keep prices down. though an undCrtOne
is apparent that leads to the conviction
that better prices, an along the line must
soon prevail.
Carisa has held up well during the en-
tire week, the impression prevailing that
conditions at the mine are better than the
management is willing to admit. Con-
solidated Mercur. for no apparent reason.
