The Rescue.

After being closed down for nearly
a year, the Rescue mine resumed ac.
tive operations this morning. From
It's location as an eastern extension
OF the Stone Cabin claim Of the Jim
Butler Mining company, the Rescue
has always been most favorably re-
garded. The sinking of the shaft
now down 365 feet was only suspended
on account of the flow of water
amounting to oyer $4,000 gallons per
day, which has now decreased to less
than 5000 gallons, and will not inter-
fere with future operations. At the
time work ceased, the shaft had just
entered the lode porphyry and it
will now be continued to the 500 foot
level, and crosscut will be run in
the direction of the Valley View vein
system which is believed to pass
through the ground.

produced some very high grade ore,
was sold this week by John L. BRAY

Tonopah Extension.

The mine which was this week in
spected by Dr. NJ r. Ward of Pitts
burg, the president of the company,
is opening up magnifcently. Both
in the winze from the 270 level and
the raise from the 400, ore is now be-
ing taken out worth 500 per sack,
while the east and west drifts on
both veins are opening up splendid
ore. The compressor plant, which
next week will be operating six drills,
is running to the complete satisfaction
OF the management and more drills
will be added as needed. The rock
crusher is now on the road from
Mound House and as soon as received
and installed, regular shipments will
be commenced Much speculation
has been rife as to the identity of
what is known as the north vein but
recent developments in the Mon tana
60 to prove that it is the great south
vein of that mine.
Tonopah Mining Company.
The company is now raising first
class ore from the old Brouqher
shaft and also shipping from that
dump and the Lynch & O'Meara
lease. When these dumps have been
cleared the railroad will be carried
round to the south side of the Seibert
shaft where huge ore bins will be
built, and tenders for the supply of
the many thousands of feet of lumber
required are now being called for.
From March lst to September 1st
the output of the company was only
a little over 5000 tons, but every ef-
fort is now being made to ship out
heavy tonnage. Shipments this week
were 250 tons bulk and 574 tons firsts
class ore in sacks.
Jim Butler Company.
The west drift from the Valley
View shaft on the great Valley View
vein will in few days cross the
boundary line into the Stone Cabin
claim Of the Jim Butler company and
good grade ore is being raised. The
small gasoline hoist on this shaft will
shortly be removed and the powerful
90 H. p. steam hoist from the Tono-
pah City claim will be installed in its
place. A small shipment of sacked
ore from the old Stone Cabin shaft
was sent out this week.

The Lower Eocene Horse.

We may imagine the earliest herds of horses in the Lower Eocene (Eohip. pus. or "dawnhorse" stage) as re sembling lot of small fox-terriers in size, only eleven inches, or two and three -tenths hands, at the withers, GOV cred with short hair which may have had a brownish color with lighter spots, resembling the sunbeams fall ing through the leaves of trees, and thus protecting the little animals from observation. As in the terrier, the wrist Cknee) was near the ground, the hand was. still short, terminating iE four hoofs, with a part of the fifth toe (thumb) dangling at the side. De- spite it's diminutive size of from eleven to fourteen inches, this little horse ranged from Mexico northward through Wyoming, and far over con- tinental Europe and Great Britain.

THE WELFARE MANAGER.
Recognized and Helpful Intermediary Between Elm p1oyer and Elm ploye.

Recognized and Helpful Intermediary
 Between Employer and EmplOye.
 Within the last few years there has been created in the industrial world an office now known as that of the well fare manager. It should not be for gotten, however, that this term was invented to fit an office already in eX- ed until much valuable work of a pio- neer character had been accomplished.
 This manager, who may be either a man or woman, is a recognized inter- mediary between the employers and employees of mercantile houses and manufacturing plants which possess any pretensions to size and import ance. Such person represents the choice of an employer who would in troduce among his employees improved and more favorable conditions, but who, hampered as he is by the com pleX notifications of the industrial and social world of to-day, and unable to attend personally to every detail, finds himself obliged to summon to his aid the services of an intermediary be- tween himself and those in his en- ploy.
 It is the employer, not the employe, who has chosen this intermediary and outlined the cope of the managers work. At the same time, in order that his own purposes may not be defeated by the presence of too much friction in his establishment, he has been at pains, when making his choice, to re- spect the sentiments and prejudices, and sometimes even the dignities, of his employees. In no case coming un- der my observation has he failed to re- move welfare manager unable to pre- serve the harmonies. For such man. ager, it must be understood, is unlike a superintendent or foreman, and has no direct authority in the business, nor power to engage or to dismiss an employe.-Century.

HER BALL GOWN.
She Got It for Purpose and "Charxed

lt Ups
 There Is good story known to the elect of newspaper circles, but beyond the precincts of the craft entirely hid den, for it concerns former star in the journalistic world who has now re- tired to the more peaceful sphere of home life. To begin with, let it be known that the proper pronoun to be used in this anecdote is "she."
 Not long ago the columns of print that appeared under her name were eagerly sought as being the very salt of San Francisco's journalistic achievements. Everybody knew her, through her work at least, and every body hung upon her written words as oracles. The envied of all her sister craftsmen of the pad, and the admired of every newspaper man, from man. aging editor to cub, this lady held SUI preme sway as long as the spirit moved her.
 But in one way she was terror to the business office. Nobody could put in an expense account of such ampli- tude as did this particular star-car- riage hire, messenger boys, special ''incidentas''-t the business of flee would sit up at nights in mute rage! It happened that the inaugural ball up in Sacramento was assigned to the lady, with instructions that she should do it up brown"
 She did.
 When her expense account went into the business office at the end of the week there was an item which causrd the business manager to sit up and take notice:
 "A ball gown, $75."
 Well, the business office would not pass that item. When the irate lady writer brought it before the manag- ing editor he had been forewarned.
 "Now, miss," he began in his suav- est tones, i've will be very glad to ad' init this item in your little account. The ball gown was probably as neces- sary to you in covering the story as this item indicates carriages 10 nave been.
 "Now, for the future contingency that may arise" continued the editor, in honeyed tones, i've will just have that gown In stock. We will provide closet for it's reception in the art editors room, and we will instruct the janitor to give 1t little dusting now and then. so as to keep it in good con dition, and when you want to use it you may obtain the key from the jan itor. l believe"

Rurge and Precht, Revue ScientiiiQue, have classified radium by the spectro- scope. The most intense lines of the spark spectrum of radium are vigorously analogous to the strongest lines of barium and it's congeners, magnesium. calcium and strontium. They place the atomic weight of radium at 257.8. This high atomic weight furnishes. in part, the ex- planation of the ease with which it's ele- ments split into electrons to produce radio activity.

The first annual Yuletide entertain
ment under the auspices of the Cap
and Bells Club drew a select assem-
blage yesterday afternoon TO the So
rosis Club on California street. The
programme was an attractive one
and was strictly an old time colonial
affair. It was rendered under the di-
rection of Mrs. W. P. Buckingham,
and all the members present were
robed in old colonial gowns in keep
ing with the rest Of the entertain
ment.
The decorations were also colonial
and the pretty clubrooms resembled
one of the houses of luxury during the
revolutionary days Mrs. Bucking-
ham read an original colonial ro-
nance in verse entitled "Grandma's
Reveille." 1t was the story of a woman
heroine of the Revolution. whose hus-
band and three sons were fighting for
the freedom of their country. Mrs.
Buckingham pictured the leading
character as a noble woman and
scored a great hit when she recited
the piece.
