Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1905-10-07

TAIN.
The formation Of the district is
heavy beds Of dolamite, with lime and
combrian quartzite, uplifted and
shattered by narrow eruptions of Rhyo-
lite lava. The dip Of the lime and
quartzite is toward the west and the
strike is north and south. Numerous
porphyry dykes traverse the quartzite
and limestone from east to west and
along these dykes considerable silver
ore has been found for years but al it
was considered low grade in this state,
go to 60 o%unces) no attention was ever
paid to it.
A few years ago, however, Herman
Reische started to dig on m Of these
low-grade groupings, with the result
that at a depth of so feet the ore
turned into a high-grade lead-silver
ore. This property, which is located at
the extreme south end Of the district
on South Mountain, is known as the
Last Chance mine and now belongs to
the Southwestern Nevada Mines Com
pany. During the time that Mr..
Reische worked this mine, a period of
about two years, he and another man
shipped 500 tons of frst-class ore to
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1905-10-07

Considerable Attention.

point are certainly Immense and must
be seen to be appreciated.
A most wonderful sight on the Last
Chance claim Of the Southwestern
Nevada Mines Company's property is a
monstrous cavern. 1t is 300 feet long,
$50 feet wide and 80 feet from the floor
to the roof at the highest place, and it
is said that a six horse team could
easily be turned around in it. In this
cave are three wines, about IT'S feet
in depth each, and it is from the levels
of these wines that the Southwestern
Nevada Mines Company is extracting

Salt Lake and San francisco smelters.
This ore averaged about 65 per cent
lead and so ounces of silver per ton.
They also took out an immense lot Of
se~eond-grade ore which averaged about
rs per cent lead and 20 ounces Of silver,
which ore was left on the dump.
In the summer of 1903, Thomas
Lynch's attention was attracted to the
ore shipments going from Reveille to
Sodaville, via Tonopah, with the result
that Mr.. Lynch visited Reveille and
after making a brief examination Of
the mine, took an option on it for thirty

The Reveille mining district which is
located about 60 miles due east Of
Tonopah in the Reveille mountain
range and which has produced bullion
to the value Of several millions Of
dollars in days gone by, is again
attracting considerable attention on
account Of several rich discoveries
recently made. The mineral bear
ing zone Of the Reveille district is
about eight miles long and four miles
wide and contains within its confines,
three mountains, viz, the North Noun

school tract. There is not quite so
much land in the tabernacle tract as
in the school tract This tract is
owned by Chas. j. Devifn.
The lots adjoining the heating plant
on the east are now occupied by
dwellings, and could probably be pur-
chased at a reasonable figure.
There has been some talk of pur-
chasing a small amount of additional
land at the east of the present heat
ing plant, and remodeling the heat
ing plant so that it will be a two-story
building and comprise the heat, light,
power and printery establishments all
under one roof. This plan does not
meet with favor from all the parties
interested. State Printer McNeal
thinks that it would be better to have
the printery a separate building. He
thinks that it would be impossible to
remodel the heating plant which is
at present a very handsome little
building. so that it would be a thing
of architectural beauty.
The commission has 100000 to
spend for a building in addition to
the $4,000 allowed for a Site This
will build q very nice structure and it
is to be hoped that the state will rot
spoil the present heating plant by
piling another building on top of it.
Before commencing the construc-
ton OF the building for the printing
official state paper for bids At the
time fixed for the opening of bids. the
commission must meet in public. and
all bids must be given out for pubica-
ton. The contract must be let to the
lowest responsible bidder. with the
right reserved to reject any and all
bids.
For the equipment Of the plant, the
commission is allowed to expend $32,
600. It is generally believed that an
arrangement will be made by which
all the equipment of the present state
printing Establishment will be taken
over by the state, and a number of
additional machines added. The in
tertion is to put in a battery of limo
type machines, a thing which the
state printery has never possessed.

CONGRESS OF MOTHERS
Holds Final Session of It's Convention
at Washington.

Washing gton, March 1.-THE Ma
tional Congress of Mothers held its
final business session today. with
delegates present from seventeen
states. including California and Texas.
In an address Mrs Frederick Schoff,
of Philadelphia, president of the con-
gress. spoke of the part taken by the
organization in pressing the inquiry
into Senator Shoots right to his
seat. On that point she said
THE National Congress OF Moth
ers has taken an active part in secur-
ing investigation of the right of a
Mormon apostle to a seat in the
United States senate. Your president
laid the facts before the senators,
urging help in checking the growth
of polygany and church domination
in the school and in civil affairs. The
election of an apostle of the Mormon
hierarchy was regarded as very Sc
rious. and the mothers congress can
not ignore conditions which degrade
womanhood and wifehood and which
give to children false ideas of home
and marriage

100000 annually, and it is charged the
methods of the trust cost the con-
sumers at least $4O,000,0O0 each year.
The evidence to be collected in In

the books of the association.
The suit is brought. under the pro-
vision of the Sherman antitrust law.
Damages for 100000 are asked The
organization it is charged fixes and
controls the prices of medical prepa-

recently observed a robin boring for
grubs in a country doOryard. 1t is a COM
mon enough sight to witness one seize an
angleworm and drag it from its burrow
in the turf, but l am not sure that ever
before saw one drill for grubs and bring
the big white morsel to the surface The
robin I am speaking Of had nest OF
young in a maple near by, and she work
ed the neighborhOOd very industriously
for food. She would run along over the
short grass after the manner OF robins,
stopping every few feet, her form stin
and erect. Now and then she would sud
denly bend her head toward the ground
and bring eye or ear for a moment to
bear intently upon it. Then she would
spring to boring the turf vigorously with
her bill, changing her attitude at each
stroke, alert and watchful. throwing up
the grass roots and little jets of SOIL
stabbing deeper and deeper, growing every
moment more and more excited, till finally
a fat grub is seized and brought forth.
Time after time, during several days, I
saw her mine for grubs in this way and
drag them forth. How did she know
where to drill2 The insect was in every
case an inch below the surface Did she

her game unerringly zach time. Only
twice did I see her make a few thrusts
and then desist, as if she had been for

AGE LIMIT FIXED.
In Employing Strikers on the New
York Subway.

New York. March 11.-Although
nearly two days have passed since the
local leaders of the unions involved
in the big street railway strike were
repudiated by their national officers
and the strikers ordered back to work,
conditions on the affected lines have
not become normal. Trains were run
ming today on every branch of the
Interborough Rapid Transit company s
system, but on reduced and in some
cases irregular schedules. AS has been
the case from the first the subway was
the least affected by the conditions
All trains were badly crowded, how
ever, and much more time was con-
sumed in making runs than is pro-
vided for in the regular schedules
Third avenue elevated trains were run
ming on from Is to 20 minutes head
way early in the day far away from
the regular schedule and the cars were
much crowded. On the Sixth and
Ninth avenue lines, conditions were
better, but the trains moved slowly
der the regular schedule. It is prob
able now that many of the former en-
ployes OF the company who went on
strike never will be re-emDloyed. It
has been announced that all of those
taken back would have to return as in
dividuals. That they had forfeited
tn cir rights of seniority by their ac-
tion in joining the strikers and that
they would be obliged to accent a
lower rate of wages than they had re-
ceived. Later it was said the company
men over 4 0 years of age. If this plan
is carried out it will effect hundreds
of men who had been employed on the
elevated for many years.

Mr.. STAHL KNOWS.
Chief of Police Gives the Programme
of Jointists.

Chief of Police Frank Stahl has
made a rather peculiar forecast as to
the way in which the jointists will act
during the next two months.
This is what he said this morning:
''From the inside ring have obtained
information that during this present
month, right up to the date of the
election. the joints will run wide open
and make it just as hot for me as
possible. so as to make the town ap-
pear real bad just as I go out of office.
Then during the first month of the
new administration the joints are to
practically close UP and be very quiet
and peaceable, so as to make people
think that the next two years are go
ing to be as pure as white roses, But
the second month of Davis term they
are to be let loose. Now that is the
fact of the matter. 1t is an agree
ment among the jointists. 1 know
watch and see if my forecast does not
come true

ROBBED HOTEL MAN.
Proprietor Has Porter and Two
Chambermaids Arrested.

Detective Josiah Ross this afternoon
arrested two chambermaids and a col
ored porter at one of the largest ho-
tells in the city on the charge of petty
thieving. They are accused of taking
clothes from boarders.
The proprietor of the hotel did not
want the name of his hostelry made
public, nor the identity of the persons
who have been robbing him, because
he feared it would hurt his house. The
three suspects were brought to the
station and locked UP. They will not
be prosecuted. A temporary confine-
ment, the hotel keeper thinks, will
show them the error of stealing.

There was no mistake about Burget
