ture Of what is practically unprospect-
ed ground, the indications are that by
several Of these companies, If supplied
with sufficient money, valuable mines
will be developed, thus considerably en-
larging the productive area of what is
even now a great camp. It was the
opinion Of Mr.. J. z. Spur of the United
States Geological Survey that some of
Tonopah's greatest mines would be
opened up in the fiat ground on the
western extension of the proved vein
system, where the ore bodies would be
free from the disturbance caused by the
upheaval of Mount Oddie. Develop
ments of the Tonopah Extension mine
with its immense veins, their rich ore
and absence of faulting go far to con-
firm this theory.
GOLDEN CROWN COMPANY.
Between the Montana Tonopah ana
the northern portion of the Midway
Company's territory is a single claim.
incorporated as the Golden Crown Min
ing Company and controlled by James
L Butler, the discoverer of the district.
Over two years ago a shaft was sunk
here to a depth of fifty feet. and since
then no work has been done. Its loca-
ton, however, makes 1t a valuable
prospective property.
Proceeding north along the western
boundary of the north end of the Mon
tana territory are five claims, the prop
erty of the Tonopah Home Mining Com
pany, which, incorporated two years. ago,
was recently reorganized and active
development work commenced. The To-
cation OF the property certainly justi-
fies thorough prospecting at depth with
great probability OF success, and a shaft
has now reached depth Of 120 feet,
encountering small values.
On the slope of what IL known as
Mount Ararat. Immediately north OF
Mount Oddie. is group of claims own
ed by the Boston Tonopah Mining Com
pany In which United States Senator
Nixon is heavily interested. On the sur
face of these claims IS a strong ledge
carrying values from 81 to SO per ton.
A shaft which passed through this was
sunk to depth Of 400 feet and opera
tions then ceased. but were recently
resumed and the sinking of the shaft
has been continued. The development
of this property is being watched with
great interest. as the opening up OF high
grade ore In this vein would be OF vast
import to the entire district.
The Belle OF Tonopah, owning two
claims about 1000 feet north of the
northern boundary of the Montana
Tonopah, has sunk a shaft to a depth
of SEQ feet. Operations have been sus-

The giving of the play flaming of
the Shrew" at the opera house called
forth quite an attendance from the
Ell. S. and uSper grades. Most of the
teachers read the story of the play to
their rooms in advance so the pupils
were better prepared to hear and en-
joy it than many older persons. If we
could have a better attendance at
plays OF this sort there would be few

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET
pecia1ly Reported for the Courier by Clay
Robinson & COmpany, Live Stock
Commissiom.

A moderate decline in prices for
most grades OF cattle was effected Mon
day and Tuesday. The recession was
due, In some degree at least, to cold
rain which dampened early Monday

er dealers off the market. Receipts
were about 1000 head In excess OF the
run for same time last week.
In beef cattle the corn-fed offerings
sold largely at s5. % "a 5.35, with top
OF $3.50 and short-ied steers as low &c
s4.75. The supply OF range beeves was
fair. These sold mostly a dime lower
than best prices obtained last week,
with bulk Of the Dakota Texas around
$3.50 "a % 40 and top OF $500. Best
cows made Sc, while the bulk of the fair
to good killing COWS sold at $2.35 "a
S2.70. Gamers and cutters from 81. rs
to % 25.
The stocker and feeder trade was
only moderately active at any stage
and In general the position of prices
we considered l0c below best rates OBJ
tainable last week. With u top OF &c
for choice heavy fleshy grades the bulk
OF the fair to good feeders sold at 1925
ca $3.50. Beet yearlings sold up to

Bin Point High, s, Akron, To-, o.


The first foot ball game of the season
was played Saturday afternoon on the
city park with the husky eleven from
Akron. The Akron team averages
much heavier than our team, and our
boys had bad case of the shivars
when the MAMMOTH proportions Of
the Akron men doomed up on the street
short time before the game. Our
boys did not lose their nerve, however,
and got down to business as soon as
the festivities opened.
The game opened by Maxson kicking
the ball off for Akron to Elk Points; Is
yard line. Ellis fumbled it and Smally
fell on 1t, thus giving the ball to Akron.
Akron, fully realizing their superior
weight, tried series OF line smashes,
which taxed Elk Points light line to
the utmost, yet the boys held them we'll
and permitted only small gains.
When our boys found they could hold
them they adopted the same tactics
and made good gains. Near the end
OF the first half the ball was passed to
johnson who went around the Akron
right end for q good gain to Akron's
40 yard line, where the bali was lost ON
fumbles just as time was called for the
first half Score, o too.
At the beginning of the second half
Ryan kicked of for Elk Point to Mon
tagne, who carried the ball about S
yards. In this half Elk Point played
largely for end runs, but continued TO
hold Akron's smashes whenever she
had the ball. Akron was kept busy
during the most OF the half in the
vicinity OF their as yard line. Our
boys had their eyes open for end runs
and, within three minutes of the close
of the game, with the Akron left end
little too far In, Main got the ball and
went clear around the left end and over
the line for touchdown. The ball
was brought out and Ryan tried for
goal but failed, and time was called,
the only score being Mains touchdown.
