Developments Prove Rich
Ore al Depth.
Shipments Suspended During Railroad
WaShOnt---Large Tonnage Of
Ore on Dumps.

Each week brings better nc ws from
Goldtield in confirmation of new dis.
coVeries and proofs of the continu.
alton OF the high grade ore bodies at
depth. Owing to the interruption
to railroad traffic there are no Shin.
ments OF ore to record, but large
quantities are accommodating at the
depot and on the dumps of numerous
shipping mines.
The January easily maintains its
regular output both in tonnage and
values.
The Combination con ntinues the same
and good progress is being made in
the preparation for the building of
the mill. The Goldfeld mining com.
pany are also arranging to build a
mill to crush the enormous tonnage
OF milling ore on the January.
At the Jumbo, Curtis & Ridge are
drifting on the 200 and $50 foot levels
and although no sensational values
nave been struck, the entire vein is
high grade milling ore.
On the Bowes Kernick lease ad
joining, work on the 200 foot level
has opened up ore as rich as any
found in the mine, and $500 ore is
now being sacked.
On the Richards lease the gasoline
hoist is at work and splendid pro-
gress is being made in sinking the
main shaft, at the same time high
grade ore is being raised from the
other shaft. Returns of shipments
from this lease are not vet to hand
A shipment from the Zinn lease is
now at the Tonopah depot.
Splendid ore is still being mined at
the Florence lease, the returns of
the last shipment not having been re-
ceived yet.
The recent strike on the Velvet is
opening up some ore of fabulous grade
and leases on the St. Ives are taking
out great ore.
A rumor of an important discov-
cry OF high grade ore on the Red Ton
IS confirmed today, and caused no
surprise among those who are famil
ar with the property. 1t has had a
most favorable effect on the Booth
mining company's stock as the RedTop
iein passes through the Booth claim
At Diamondfeld the developments are
most encouraging. The Red Buttes
yroup changed hands this week for

LOVE COMES JUST ONCE.

Into each life Love comes just once,
Though many times he fingers near.
So near, we feel his fragrant breath
And dream again that Love is here
To stay. All. no, he fits away
Love comes just once, one time to stay.
Then guard him we'll, oh tickle heart;
With nurture he will fairer grow
And nestle, oh, so close the while,
The heart can never bid him go.
And Love- so guarded night and day.
Will never from the true heart stray
