Left-Handed PlnE-PonE.

A southern girl gave left-handed
ping-pong party which proved the jol-
lest sort of extravaganza. The game
was, of course, ping-pong but played
with the left hand instead of the right.
What a difference it made! The crack
ping-pongers were reduced to the level
of the veriest tyros and ones most
strenuous efforts resulted in absurdly
low scores. 1t so fell out that the own
champion in ping-pong received the
BOBBY prize. The prizes were little

decorated In japanese style, the favorS
being japanese dolls filled with sweets.

quail that have been moving are in
pretty good sized fiocks and when shot
into they continue to move south. 1t

the birds in any other direction, and

He Immediately started toward Mono

where he surrendered to Sheriff Quiris.
When Monohan saw Martin fall he
thought he had killed him. The above

LOWER RATES.
Tonopah Ores Can Now be Shipped to
:
the Smeiters.

Ionopan ores Can Now be Shipped 70
the smeiters.
During the past few weeks the rail
road company and teamsters at Tono-
pah have made concessions to. the
mine owners. whereby the ore that il
stored on the dumps and in the sacks
can be moved to the shelters and yet
give the miners and lease holders a
chance to get their money out Of the
rock.
When the camp started the team
sters wanted and received q cent a
pound for the ores that were taken 70
the railroad. This figured up $40 ton
and by the time the railroad got a
whack at it and the smelter man took
out charges and shrinkage, the owner
had a mighty small profit left to daily
with.
At the present time the .teamsters
are hauling to the railroad for IS per
ton, while the railroad has made a
concession in like proportion, and the
smelters have also come to time. This
enables the man with $50 ore to ship
as $24 covers everything and every
dollar above that amount belongs 'te
| me man VINO owns the orr.
| There is but one difficulty now be
| fore the ore owners and that is the
lack OF teams to move the ore The
high price CT silver has sent coEsid
cradle of the ore out Of Tonopan, and
the owner, who is in this city endea
voring to make a large shipment t.
the Salt Lake smelters, but on &C
count of the lack of teams he canno
move the ore.
The reduction in the price of tn,
transportation will mean considerable
ready money for the miners of tn
camp, and will give number of me,
READY money who were awaiting til
time when the home reduction plant
were to be in commission. The effec
of the reduction is to be seen by tn
amount Of ore that is passing throug
this city enroute to the smelters.
