Tonopah Railroad.

The shipments OF ore this week show
an appreclable increase, amounting
in all to Sl9 tons, of which the Tono-
pah mines contributed 619 tons, the
Montana -Tonopah shipping 40 tons
and the shipments from the Tonopah
Mining company amounting to 800
tons in bulk and 119 tons sacked ore.
The total shipments from Goldfeld
27O tons, made up as follows: Jumbo,
Vermilyea & Bartlett lease, eleven
tons; Bowes- Kernick lease, 210 tons;
Combination mine, "a tons; Quartzite
fraction, rs tons. The railroad now
has four engines in commission and
an additional one will be received
next week and two more are on Or
der. The new equipment on order
comprises 200 ore cars, 20 gondola
cars, box cars and two passenger
coaches. An additional sleeping car
is on the way. When these are re-
ceived the company will haul out
about 1900 tons of ore daily and the
passenger service will be accelerated.
Ovel 400 passengers were brought
in this week and the incoming freight
is exceptionally heavy. Work on the
passenger depot and freight ware
house is progressing with great rap
idity, and new sidings are also being
built, the railway yard presenting
scene of great activity. This com
pany is the first Nevada railroad to
inaugurate sleeping car service and
the arrangement by which passen-
gers can sleep till z a. m. is much
appreciated. President John Brock,
who is now in Tonopah, will probably
decide in the next few days the date
for commencing work on the extern
sion OF the road to Goldfeld.

GOLD CRATER A
SHIPPING CAMP
General Average Values Of
Surface Ores Are High.
Its Proximity to the Railroad will
Make $50 Rock a Profitable
Shipping Ore.

James M. Meighan, who for years
operated the Mount jefferson mine in
Tuolumne county, CAL, and is now
developing the property of the Free
Gold Mining and Milling company at
Gold Reef, in which he is one OF the
largest stockholders, returned this
week from the new Gold Crater dis
trict and has furnished the BONANZA
with some interesting particulars.
Gold Crater is situated slightly south
OF east OF Goldfeld and is reached in
about five hours from that camp. AS
now prospected, it covers an area of
about three miles east and west by
two miles north and south OF an ir-
regular circular shape broken on the
northwest where erosion has carried
away the surrounding hills. These
hills are from fifty to 100 feet higher
than the basin in which the present
discoveries have been made and pre-
sent similar fiat lava capped tops as
do the hills west of Goldfeld. The
formation is porphyry stained with
iron oxide, the veins on surface ap-
pearing to be porphyritic lime chang
ing to quartz with depth. A large
number of cold average samples
taken from numerous outcrops gave
returns from $ll to $50 per ton, OF
which one-fourth of the values were
in silver, the remainder gold, al
though many picked samples ran as
high as $40U and $500 per ton. Prac-
tically no work has been done except
on the Ridge Curtis claim, where a
shaft is now being sunk and at a
depth Of twenty feet shows three
and one-half feet of ore averaging
SIG per ton, and the hoist from their
Jumbo lease will be installed there.
No crosscutting has yet been done,
so it is difficult to determine the
width Of the ore bodies which appear
to be very extensive. Apart from
the bodies OF shipping ore, the pros
poets for permanent milling camp
are most encouraging, ample wood is
found in the mountains close at hand
and wells are now being sunk on a
dry lake four miles northwest where
water will certainly be found at shall
low depth, and the surrounding
country is covered with plenty OF
horse feed. The camp of Gold Crater
now boasts population of about
seventy living in tents. There are
two saloons and a store, which are
but the nucleous OF what promises to
be very lively camp. Shipping orc
can be hauled to Tonopah for $l2.5O
per ton, SO it is probable that teams
from there will soon be arriving at
the Tonopah depot.

MINING NEWS
FOR The WEEK
TOnOpah Extension Sacking
High Grade Ore.
The HOmeStake at Silver Peak Opening
Up Well---The Mcnamara
Strikes New Vein.

Work at the Tonopah Extension
mine continue to open up increased
bodies of high grade ore and about
three carloads are now ready for
shipment. The rock breaker has
now been placed in position, and the
gasoline engine to operate it is being
installed.
The HOmestake.
Development work on this property
at Silver Peak proceeds with great
activity under the superintendent of
Chris Mccarthy. The incline shaft
is now down 100 feet and an ASSAY
across two feet gave $28 per ton,
eight inches assaying $8S per ton.
The grading for the mill is finished
and the house from the Knapp mill
at Haw thorne is being removed to
the mine.
Mcnamara.
The mine continues to open up in
most satisfactory manner. In the
north crosscut from the 500 foot level
vein has been struck ten feet wide
carrying in punches and stringers
high grade ore assaying from $500 to
$1,000 per ton, and it is now being
drifted on with every indication that
an ore shoot will be encountered.
The Mill.
Grant Bowen, the engineer who
installed the Diesel oil engine, is ex-
pected daily from the east, when it is
hoped that the present difficulty with
the engine will be overcome and the
mill start crushing again.

The PROGRESS
OF G7OLDFIELD
Important Discovery on the
TOnOpah Club Claim.
SyIvanite Found in the Quartzite
LeaSe...The Jumbo the Star
Producer Of GOIdfieId.

The great Goldfeld camp produced
another sensation this week in the
strike on the Tonopah Club claim
which is located on the northeast of
Columbia mountain nearly 5000 feet
east OF north Of the Sandstorm and
adjoining the Adams-Goldfield COM
pany on the west The discovery
was made by surface prospecting,
twenty-six feet width OF vein form
alton having been uncovered and
prosp9cted by trenches for length
OF 100 feet giving cold average assays
from $50 to $500 per ton. Selected
ore yields sensational values up to
thousands OF dollars and the owners
already have over 300 sacks OF high
grade ore on the dump. The claim
and the one adjoining known as the
Bonanza is owned by Geo. Wingfeld
one third, NJ. Ish and C. H. Weber
one third and J. r. Duffield one third,
and large force OF men will be put
TO work at once
QUARTZITE FRACTION.
Further development work has
determined the width OF this ore body
to be thirty. three feet on the the
50-foot level, and the following assays
taken this week give good idea of
its great richness, ten feet assayed
$l3l.80 per ton, two feet 1888 per
ton, eleven inches 81, 497 per ton, six
inches $40, 1856 so per ton. The lat
ter has been determined as sylvahite
ore and is therefore the most impor-
tant discovery made in the camp.
Three drifts are now being run on
the richest ore shoots, and the next
shipment will probably be among
the richest from the camp. Sinking
has also been resumed.
THE JUMBO.
Realizing that there was not time
to sink and extract more ore before
the expiration OF the leases on the
3lst, Vermilyea & Bartlett and
Ridge & Curtis have closed down,
well satisfied with the result OF their
work. The Bowes Kernick and Full
ler-McDonald leases had been ex-
tended TO lst January before any
stock in the mine had been sold.
Both leases are looking well, and
sinking is being rushed to open up
lower levels. The Bowes- Kernick
lease shipped out Zl0 tons this week
and is raising over 1000 sacks OF
shipping ore daily.
THE COMBINATION.
Everything is ready for building
the mill so sooE as cement and ma
chinery arrives. Work on the pipe
line from Alkali springs will start
this week. The mine is making
small shipments Gi hlghest grade ore
the balance being reserved for mill
ing.
In general the district is develop
ny in most satisfactory manner
and the area at high grade shipping
ore is rapidly extending, while an
enormous tonnage Of highly payable
milling ore is being opened up. The
camp is crowded with buyers and
representatives Of capital from all
parts OF the world.

TENNESSEE COAL AND IRON.

From the Wall Street Journal.
 While at present there does not appear to be anything tangible to sustain the rumor of pending absorption of Tennes- see Coal & Iron by United States Steel 1t is recalled that when some. months ago. valuations were made of the proper ties of the leading southern iron con- cerns with view to some mutual agree ment, expects employed by the Steel Corporation also made valuations of these properties. This entailed an outlay of about s125.OO0 which. 1t is contended. the United States Steel management would not authorize if there were not some good reason for the establishment of a basis of value on the properties in question.
 This is, however an old matter and there is nothing to indicate that, even if United States Steel contemplated the securing If on interest in southern iron plants at that time, such purpose re- mains unchanged today.

Anhnrn Meets Tuscaloosa.

Todav's game at West End park IS rather more to Alabama than mere game of ball. It is a meeting of brawn a;d brain gathered from the states two leading educational institutions. To a certain extent 1t is test or at- tendance, if not of methods. All In all 1t may be said to be Alabamas chief athletic event of the year.
 The best feature of the football con sists in the absence of professionalism from it. The players, and even the coaches, will be- Alabamians to the manner born and bred. In this respect football stands unexcelled among the athletic games of the country, and It will be a sad day for the game when nrofesgionals begin to participate in it.
 The game today will show what the
 .lahamians of ten years hence will be in fibre. staying powers, courage and skill The close student may be able to read in today's game the states his tory in the coming years, drawing tterefrom chapters relating to it's pol itics. it's industries and it's agricul- tural development. The two teams represent what is to be, and they will nc doubt fight with a consciousness Of their representative worth.

MT. RooseveIt's Successor.

The succession is said to be limited to ex-Secretary of War Root, Secretary of War Taft and ex-Attorney General Knox. No others, it Is stated, need apply at the next meeting of the re- publican national convention.
 MT. Roosev elt may find 1t difficult to choose a successor from the three, although correspondents do not hesi- tate to say that he nas shelved-in his mind--Mr. Taft because Ohio is piv- otal occasionally only, and also MT Knox because his state is never piv- otal. doubtful or honest Ohio and Pennsylvania are thus ruled out by the situation, and the mantle of the administration seems to be about to descend upon Elihu Root, always pro- vided the plain people" and the de. mocracy do not spoil the programme. The cabinet is to be reconstructed for the purpose of booming Elihu Root.
 This plan ignores MT. Fairbanks ambition, as well as tie ambition of at least score of other statesmen, some real but more of the alleged sort. But all opposing ambitions are to be brushed aside, so it is reported, In or der that MT. Roosevelt may name Elihu Root as his successor.
 In the cabinet of March next young men will be in the ascendant. Secre- taries Wilson and Hitchcock, both seventy or moro years old, are to be retired, and young men are to take their places. James R. Garfield is slated for a place in the new cabinet a3 well as MT. Cortelyou. MT. Hay will, however, be asked to serve an other four years, although he is not a spring chicken. One old man will not be objectionable, especially if he is willing to serve as balance wheel.
 But all, both young and old, are ex- pected to pull steadily for Elihu Root as successor to the throne, ignoring all favorite sons and all those whose towering ambitions cannot command the approval of our chesty President.

GREAT ADVANTAGE OF AN
 AIRSHlP OVER AN AUO
BY DOLLY PING.

T. LOUIS, November n.-(spec- NN ial)-In his quiet and thought " ful moments John has been re- volving this airship problem in his mind. It Is mostly a revolving problem any way, for the propeller goes around and round and SO does the airship That's the way the Benbow airship went. I presume that Is what causes circular insanity among airship inventors But I don't consider myself competent to dis cuss the airship problem. It is ques- ton that takes one into the clouds and as Johnis the only member of the family who 'soars' and the only one who has a mechanical eye" Jane and I were meekly resigned to the ordeal of hearing him expatiate upon it.
 After looking at the airships that fly and thosoe that don't fly" said John, while we were waiting for our tabbley de hote dinner "I have concluded that they are a big improvement on the au- tomobile You see there is a good deal more room in the sky than there is in the street and not so many chances Of H.. l with four large green eyes headed to"aru you, all you have to do is to pull lever No. A. which takes yon Into higher ethereal wave, and glide right over hiih' If vou meet him in the narrow road Tn red gasoline tank, you are liable 10 puinp riyht into him, or, if you try to dodge ;,ir, vou may run into fence or slide oe, bridge or down steep embank- mont There are no barb-wire fences in the air and no bridges, only clouds II ,,o,, hrnnn into a wireless message there ,s m harm done, and when you get into Q cloud you can blow the fog horn unti. won get out of it. And so far as I can ace. the airships use the same motors as the automobiles, anyway, and the gasoline smell won't kill any one but the birds and I think we have too many English sparrows, anyway. Of course the time will come when the airships will run by electricity taken from the air, and all the sky pilots will have to do when the power Is running low is to open a valve and scoop up a new supply.
 For awhile. until the country people get used to them. the airship will have 10 ny DeyOnu tilt IedCii oA lhc AdihuSh Q shotgun. But if the farmer gets too gay with his gun it will be an easy matter to dip down and pick up few of his chickens, a COW, or even horse. ana sail away with them. And it will be easy to knock down six acres of stanc- ing corn or push over the farmers wlnd mill But when the farmer gets to us- ing the airships himself he won't want to go gunning for them. With self binding reaper suspended from cigar shaped balloon he can skim along the ground and behead fifty-acre field of wheat in few hours. And when the cows get into the corn field, no need of tryinS to drive them out. Just let
