fortunes, was down l400 feet and that
it was still an enormous producer.
Another interesting piece of news in
this connection is the fact that the
biz Tonopah company has struck ore
within a week on the 700 foot level of
one of their shafts. The ore is very
high grade.
In speaking OF the work now pro-
crossing Mr.. Dopp said:
81 hardly believe that the more
conservatively managed mines will do
much more than quietly continue de-
velopment until the mills are in oper-
alton" Mr.. Dopp added, 'You see
that number of the best proper
ties in the district have been practi-
cally robbed by men who have gotten
on the ground floor on organization,
and as soon as the mine has shown
that it has good values and the stock
is selling strong, they go and loosen
up at half the price the company can
afford to sell it. 1t has probably
cost these people nothing and they
have had the stock with the under
standing that it would not be let out
under any circumstances. They sell
and the market becomes flooded with
cheap stock. The investor, believing
that there is something wrong with
the company, refuses to purchase
Such men as these are hurting the
very best mines in Tonopah. They
can do a little damage for time but
not long, because the great values
mean dividends.
"When an investor buys stock in
mine he should buy direct from the
company or its representative. The
proceeds of the sale go direct into
the workings and not into the pocket
of these ingrates.
Il have every faith in Tonopah's
future" Mr.. Dopp said in conclusion.
"Itis by far the greatest camp ever
known in America, both in quantity
and quality. 1t will eventually pay
tremendous dividends"

MIR. DOPP ON TONOPAH.
Has an Extended Interview i'm

John Dopp, president of the Tono-

alengthy and interesting interview
in Philadelphia Profits of the 18th
inst, from which the following Is ex.
tracted:
you know as well as | do" said
Mr.. Dopp, that milling facili,
ties were in Tonopah today there
would be a dozen or more companies
that would be on a dividend paying
basis There can be no question
about the quantity Of gold and silver
bearing ore in the Tonopah district.
II is there in remarkable quantities,
but the companies that have even
the high grade ore are sending little
Of it out, on account Of the charges.
THE best way to appreciate the
amount of ore already mined is to go
around and look at the dumps. Ore,
that inserted runs from $50 to 800
TO the ton, is so common as to at
tract no attention at all, as it lies in
great heaps awaiting the coming of
mills. When you consider that some
Of the greatest mines in the world
are turning out ore up to $40 per ton
and pumping water eighteen or
twenty miles or even more, and max
ing money hand over fist, you will
get a good idea of what is to come in
Tonopah within the next few years.
1t takes time to get camp 60
ing right. Even now, Tonopah is a
little more than two years old, and
the advance that has been made is
remarkable. A number of the com
panies have reached high state OF
development, and before the summer
has passed there should be some in
teresting news in several of the big
propositions.
when the mills get under way,
and there should be plenty of stamps
in the camp a year from now, there
will be more money in Tonopah and
in the pockets of the investors than
great many people ever dreamed
of having"

snt,.tae,sry Identification.

Bank officials often have queer ex
periences with people over the ques.
ton of proper identification, but the
paying teller of the City Trust compa-
ny had one sprung OH him the other
day that was entirely out of the ordi-
nary. A sunburned man who looked
like a sea captain came in with a
check payable to his order which he
wanted to get cashed. The teller was
satisfied that the check was all right,
but he didn't know the bearer from
Adam. 1t was nearly 3 o'clock. and
the man seemed in a great hurry for
the money. He said he knew very few
people in Philadelphia and it would
be impossible for him to get any one
to identify him before the close Of
banking hours. Maybe this will do"
he said, taking off his coat and rolling
up his sleeve. There on his arm was
tattooed his name in india ink, and

tiication was Observation-Disclosures

Wages on American shIps.

Beyond the larger first cost Of Amer.
lean built ships another weighty fac
tor in the question of how to revive
the American merchant marine is the
wide difference in shipboard wages be-
tween this country and its European
competitors. This difference in wages
Is not characteristic Of the high speed
mail steamers alone. In the report of
the commissioner Of navigation for
1900 there is a comparison Of the pay
rolls of the American cargo steamer
Pleiades and the British cargo steam
ers Lady Joicey and Masconomo, all Of
about $500 tons. The twenty-six off,
GERS and men of the American ship re-

OF n British ship receive 1861 a
month. or $11,532 a year. and the thir-
ty-two officers and men Of the other
British ship receive 1919 a month, or
$ll.75l a year. Practically the same
difference will be found in the wages
