FIRST SHIPMENT
IS NOW READY
Extension Will Forward Ore
In a Few Days
Midway Starts New North and South
Healthy Strike at
Lone Mountain Claims

The station in the shaft of the To-
nopah Extension at a depth of 400
feet was completed this week with
the putting in of the necessary tim
bers, and the work of sinking the
shaft and driving the north crosscut
was again taken up and will be
pushed with all vigor. The shaft is
now down fifteen feet below the sta
tion and the crosscut is in ninety
feet. On the upper level-at 275--a
cut was started in the drift, seventy
feet from its entrance, to reach the
hanging wall, and although it has
proceeded through ten feet of ore
the wall has not yet appeared in
sight. The ore, however, holds up
to the standard reported last week
and gives no evidence of depreciating
either in value or extent. Twenty
tons Of ore has been sacked for ship
ment and will likely be forwarded the
coming week.
The Western Belt.
Just west of the Tonopah Exten-
sion are three groups of claims which,
from their location and because OF
the fact that developments in the
first named prove that the Mount
Oddie systems OF veins continues to
the west, are destined to attract a
good deal OF attention for the next
few months to come These groups
are the Golden Anchor, Denver and
Red Rock, owned chiefly by the same
people who control the Extension
On the Red Rock and Denver, the
shafts are down 145 and 1876 feet
respectively and passing through a
favorable formation. For the Den
yer power hoist has been ordered
to supplant the whim now in oper-
alton and it will be here in short
time
The repairs to the hosting plant
Of the Golden Anchor we're completed
last week and work Is now being
pushed vigorously. The shaft is
down 478 feet and from the station
the south crosscut Is out 1l0 feet in
ground that indicates the near pres
ence Of ledge matter.
The Midway.
The shaft on this property has
reached depth Of 635 feet, where a
station is being cut, from which cross
cuts will be run to the north and
south. This depth is equal to 700
feet in the Mizpah, and when the
Lodges are struck some rich ore will
be disclosed. On the 535 level a
raise is being run from the drift in
the south cut and some good ore Is
being extracted. A rails has also
been started in the drift 35 feet north
Of the shaft, and as soon as enough
ground has been opened up stopping
will follow. 1t is expected that a
Sarge amount Of Midway ore will be
put through the custom mill as soon
as the run on the Golden ore has
been completed.
Rich Ore In Ajax.
Word was received in town Thurs
day that a strike of big dimensions
had been made In the shaft of the
Favorite, one OF the Ajax group at
Lone Mountain, at a depth of ten
feet. Some of the ore which was
sent in was assayed and returned
values of 1862, 10 in lead, gold and
silver. The Ajax group is favorably
located short distance from the
Tonopah- Belcher and from surface
indications promises to become big
property. The principal owners OF
the stock Of the company are e. j.

Prominent Mining Man Here

B. G. Kingsberry of Spokane,
Washington, partner OF Patsy
Clark, was an arrival in Tonopah
Tuesday night. On Wednesday morn
ing he went to Godfeld, returning
last night. 1t is Mr.. Kingsberry's

but he is much pleased with what he
saw.

Three Loads of Ore.

Three wagon loads of ore, compris-
ing one big carload, from the
property of the Tonopah- Gold Noun
tain Mining company, passed through
town last Sunday en- route to Soda
vile, from which point it will be
transported to the smelter. The
ore is pretty high grade and will net
the company handsome profit above
the cost of mining, transportation
and milling.

Midway Mill,

The stamps of the Midway mill be-
gan falling Sunday on ore from the
Golden lease on the Mizpah, and with
but two or three short stops haye
run continuously with good results.
1t will probably take fifty days to
complete the run when lot of Mid
way ore will be put through.

arrangements which will permit of
some extensive development in their
property.

of the work at the mines.
win Cut Ledge at Depth.
Arrangements are pending be-
tween the Belle Of Tonopah company
and the Tonopah-Aspen company,
which II carried out, will do much to-
wards determining the value of the
latter company's property. The
Bellies shaft is now down over 500
feet and cannot be sunk deeper till
more powerful machinery is put in,
but If the contemplated arrange
ments obtain, a crosscut from the
bottom will be run several hundred
feet to the west to cut the ledge
which crops on the Aspen at the
surface.
West End.
The main shaft Of this property is
now down 700 feet and has passed
through the oxidized formation re-
ported two weeks ago and entered
blue porphyry heavily charged with
iron pyrites. During the week six
inch stringer was encountered in the
shaft which gives assay returns from
S. to $6. An air compressor and
machine drills arrived at the mine a
few days ago and will be installed
and put to work as soon as some
missing parts arrive.
United TOnOpah TO Resume.
Charles S. Lemon of the United
Tonopah is looked for in Tonopah on
every stage, and 1t is expected that
with his arrival orders will be issued
to resume work on the company's
property. The main shaft when
work suspended was down over 300
feet and was in some rich ore. Re
Gently a new ledge was cut on the
surface 200 feet west of the shaft
house, and samples from wall to wall
showed good gold values in the pan.
North Star.
The north erosseut from the 1860
level is now out 250 feet and is being
driven through formation which
encourages the belief that ledge mat
ter Is near In the east drift from
this level STOPPING is proceeding and
some first class ore is being taken
down. During the week winze
was started in the 1860 on ledge
l50 feet from the shaft, and few
weeks work will probably show up
another big body of ore.
Big Pump In.
The cement reservoir and sump
which the Crystal Water company
has been putting in the station at
the 600 foot level Of the Halifax shaft
is about completed and the installa-
tion OF the big Dow pump is now be-
ing proceeded with. BY the 25th at
the latest pumping will begin and as
soon as the shaft is unwatered, the
Halifax company will put force OF
men at work sinking.
Got Good Prospects.
Frank and Lou Davis are now
down over forty feet on the claim
they have been working, a mile
and half of town, and the ledge
matter in the bottom not only carries
values but shows striking resem-
biance to the Belmont and Mizpah
ores. In fact, it is the opinion of
many that they are working on the
western end OF the Mount, Oddie sys-

FRAUDULENT MATTER STOPPED.
Assistant Postmaster General Reports
 His Successful Efforts.

Washington. Dec. 22.-R. P. Goodwin. Assistant Attorney General for the Postoffice Department in his annual re- port to the Postmaster General says that the number of fraudulent con- cerns has been greatly reduced in con- sequence of the vigorous enforcement of the postal laws.
 The result is shown by the marked decrease in the number of complaints received. There were IA fraud ofders issued during the year and twenty three orders were issued against for eign lottery companies and their agents who were found to be operating with the mails.
 Much has been done in the direction of excluding from the mails publica- tions containing obscene and sugges- tive illustrations, advertisements and other matter considered unfit for cir culation. Many of the worst of this class of offenders have had their enter prises suppressed and the report says there will be no relaxation of the work The department allowed during the year an aggregate of $150,279. to reim- purse postmasters for losses of postal funds resulting from unadvoidable casualties and for losses for funds in transit from postmasters to their designated depositaries.
 MT. Goodwin especially refers to the high standards of offlcial duty" es- tablished and followed by his predeces- sors Assistant Attorney General Charles H. Robb. and says 1t has been his endeavor to carry forward the standards thus set.

LONDON'S RECORD FOG
CITY IS IN CONDITION OF CHAOS.
Tube Railways Alone Are Doing Busi- ness, While the Christmas Tranic and Railway Transportation
 Are Blocked.

London, Dec. 22.-There is yet no signs of lifting of the fog which en- velopes the Kingdom.
 The absence of wind throughout Great Britain is almost unprecedented and meteorologists do not expect any change in conditions for another twep. ty-four hours. Considering the almost insuperable difiiculties attending loco- motion of any form the number of fatal accidents has been remarkably small. The congestion and suspension of business are very general. So far as London is concerned, the tube rail- ways are the only concerns benefited and their daily trafIlc Is reaching record figures. Places of amusement are al- most deserted and shop keepers are loudly lamenting the absence of usual Christmas customers, instead of which the big stores are inundated with orders by post which cannot be execut- ed owing to the complete dislocation of all carrying business
 Railway traffic both for long and short distances is almost paraiyzed. A condition resembling chaos prevails in the postal service. With the con- tinued accumulation of Christmas the parcel and letter trafic 1t Is quite im- possible to preserve even semblanoe of punctuality. All railway trains are
 
 tween London and suburbs occupy a couple of hours in making a distance of eight miles Mail boats in all direc- tfons are similarly disorganized.
 The Oceanic and Saxonia have been unable to reach the landing at Liver pool. The Cedric and the Pretoria, outward bound, are both delayed and the Minnehaha is waiting at the mouth of the Thames, unable to proceed. Only two vessels entered the port of Lon- don yesterday, a condition of affairs such as has not occurred for twenty five years The mouth of the river Is crammed with vessels loaded with per- ishable foodstuffs of all descriptions
 The streets of London present re- markable scenes. Nothing is visible except link boys torches and the oc- casional flaring of the creosote lightS which the authorities are beginning tn employ to help traffic. Phantom voic es mingle with the uceasing whistles of omnibus and tramway drivers. whilst at Trafalgar Square and the Hyde Park corner are conglomerations of vehicles of every kind held up by the police and close loocked for hours.
 Nearly everybody is suffering from headache which the doctors attribute to the fog.
 At Birmingham Sir Oliver Lodge Is making experiments with model elec- trical apparatus for the dispersal of fog, which although successful is re. garded as being too expensive for ap- plication on large scale.

 College in Body, The Firing of Revolver By Kingdom Gould Upsets Great University
 and Makes Commissioner Mo
 Ado0 Act.
FACULTY IS AROUSED

New York. Dec. 22.--Police Captain McGinn began personal investigation today in the action of Kingdom Gould in drawing a revolver on a crowd of Columbia university sophomores who were attemplng to capture ham. He visited the university today and mad a
 talk with Dean Hutton of the School Of Applied Sciences.
 After further investigation Capt. Me- Ginn made a report on the case to Po- lice Commissioner McAdoo in which he said it had been difficult to obtain any further Information as the students were reticent about the affair. It was said today that Dean Hutton had reached a decision as to what shall
 be done with the Sophomores partici-
 pating in this affair. This will be an- nounced tomorrow. Kingdom Gould has been requested to appear before Dean Hutton tomorrow when action
 will be taken in his case for the firing | of the revolver.
 Dean Frederick R. Hutton, of the
 School of Applied Science in Columbia | University who has been ordered by President Butler to investigate the hazinz og Kingdom ould on Tuesday.
 has had a long conference today with | the students in the party who chased l young Gould down Broadway when he f1re0 TeVOIVeT over tuelr neauS. The
 men were A. I. Gslthinger. President of
 the science sophomores. W. Bailey. O.
 K. Doty. R. ". Cauchois and F.
 Lage.
 Dean Hutton said that although there
 was no great opposition on the part
 of the faculty to interclass rivalry and fighting on Southfeld between the
 freshmen and sophomores, the faculty
 was opposed to the practice of kid
 mapping single freshmen by groups of
 the upper class men and was deter
 mined to stop the custom. The dean
 said that if suspension of the culprit
 sophomores would produce that effect
 they would be suspended.
 He asked if the students present | would take suspension with good grace
 They replied that they did not deserve l 1t, The dean asked also whether the sophomors class would look on their classmates as martyrs If they were sus- | pended. The students were unable to
 answer but general sentiment was that
 the class would strike"
 Dean Hutton did not seek to excuse Gould's action but he said that it was never fair for crowd to set on one
 man. If it had been one against one
 the whole matter would have been le- gitimate. The fate of the sophomores
 is to be decided by the faculty today
 and announced to them tomorrow. Kingdom Gould has been asked to ap- pear before Dean Hutton to give his | testimony.

BUSH ON ROOSEVELT
ALABAMA MANUFACTURERS TALKS
 OF HIS INTERVIEW.
Lifc-Isong Democrat ls ConAdeDt That Executive is Interested tn South and it's Future Well.
 Belng.
Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building.

President Roosevelt's deep interest in the broad develop ;fent of the South and likewise in a better understand ing on the part of the people of all sections. is strikingly shown in an ar. ticle published in The Manufacturers Record of Baltimore in it's issue of this week.
 This article is written by Mir. T. G Bush. President of the Alabama Con. solidated Coal and Iron Company, a lifelong Democrat and one who dis- ousses the political interest of the South from a strictly business point of view. Based on a recent lengthy interview with President Roosevelt, he writes the article in question in such way that 1t maybe accepted as ar authoritative statement of the views of the President on the Southern sit uation.
 Mir. Bush. after referring to recent visit he made to the President pro- ceeds at length to discuss the relations of the races in the South and touching upon the reduction of representation says he does not believe that the question will be pressed in Congress now or any other future session. The observation is significant as comina from a man who has lately gone into these questions with MT. Roosevelt. Mir. Bush says in conclusion:
 Those who are familiar with this so-called great negro problem are rap idly concluding that 1t Wi.l be eoones end better solved by "tR Southern people. If no obstacles are put in their way, I do believe that there is any one more willing to be spent in this good work than President Roosevelt as he is having better opportunities from time to time to learn the true spirit of the large majority of the Southern people.
 You cannot talk with President Roosevelt without feeling that he ap- preciates the South as an important part of this great and wonderful coun- try and his earnest desire to be Pres ident of all the people. and that he is extremely friendly to the Southern people. and stands as ready as far as is in his power to contribute to their prosperity and happiness as to the people of any part of the country. ] believe that before his next term shall have ended this fact will be realized.
