TRIBUTE TO KIRBY.
San Francisco Paper Has Praise for
Utah-Nevada Man.

John A. Kirby will shortly retire as
manager of the Acknowledgement mine,
and as yet his successor has not been
named" says the San Francisco Journal
of Commerce.
Mr.. Kirby is one of the most inter-
esting personalities in Nevada. John, as
he is Familiarity called by a legion of
friends. was born on the gold diggins
of Australia, of an American father, some
fOrty-eight years ago, but was brought
to this country when still an infant When
a young man he learned the blacksmith
trade in Oakland at a shop on Broad
way, and subsequently secured position
in a gold mine at Newcastle, Placer coun-
ty, California. Here he acquired his first
knowledge of mucking, drilling, milling
and judging ore.
He moved to Utah. gradually rising to
prominence in some of the states famous
camps and was then appointed Superln-
tendent of the Daly-West in Park City.
ct that time the Daly-WeSt was almost
a forlorn hope but John Kirby's years
of study of formation put him on the
track of the ore. and in six years the
mine, under his supervision, paid 5000
600 in dividends.
'sHe represented the Guggenheims in the
field pioneered in Nevada before Tono-
pah was discovered, and in succession to
Donald Gillies signed years contract
as manager of the MOntana-TOnOpah
mine. Under his regime policy of care
full development was pursued, and no
attempt was made TO rush out big ship
mentS of high grade ore. the management
being satisfied to ship just enough ore
TO offset the monthly expenses. Today
the Montana is one of the greatest mines
of TOnOpah. and visitors declare it to
be the best developed property In the
camp.
Nevada has brought John Kirby good
fortune For something less than $3.50 he
acquired a sixth interest in the Nevada
Hills Mining company at Fairview and
has already refused 100000 spot cash for
his 100000 shares in that famous mine.
His acquisition of wealth will not spoil
him. A man whose profession is his first
and last love. is always a student
and vet a capable. practical man. An as
saver a surveyor and a designer of
mills and hoists, he can sharpen a drill
and bit it; but he is also a geOlogist and
mineralogist, and withal one of the most
unassuming of men.
Mr. Kirby is a partner in the firm of
Kirby, Lamb & Stoneham of Tonopah
and on his retirement from the manage
ment of the Montana Tonopah mine will
assume an active interest in the business
of that firm. ~

HARD ROCK ENCOUNTERED
Especial TO The Herald.l

Richfield, July pr. w. Foster, man
ager Of the Sewer Consolidated, was in
Richfield this week on his return from
Ogden, where he had been comforting with
some of the officers of the company.
He said that the mill resumed opera
ton Monday. The cruSherS have been
at work all the time.
/ Ore for the mill is being delivered by
team from the mine as the big cave in
the tunnel that filled it for about seventy
five feet has not been entirely cleared.
This is the tunnel leading to the mine.
Work is progressing rapidly and will be
completed within ten days, when the ore
will again be delivered through the tun-
mel.
Strike Hard Rock.
In driving the chute from the tunnel
where the cave occurred to the other tun-
mel above it, some of the hardest rock ever
struck in the district was encountered.
This was so hard that the small ma
chimes generally used would not pierce
it. Larger machines had to be put in
operation in order to get through it,
Cave Uncovers Ore.
The cave uncovered a large body of
ore that the management did not know
existed. The tests show it to be a fine
grade for milling. The foot wall of this
ore body has been found, but as yet
the hanging wall has not been discovered.
While the cave was a drawback 10 the
company in some particulars, it has prov
en- a bonanza in the discovery of this big
body of high grade ore.
Machinery Reaches Mine.
A carload of new machinery for the
Sewer Con- Mining company, consisting
of large condenser and a turbine water
wheel of mammoth proportions, went
down this week. The machinery was load
ed in solid end coal car. In order TO
unload it a big derrick would have had
to be built. Rather than do this the
company shipped it back to Salt Lake to
be transferred to a flat car.

Worm Deserved Its Fate.

Miss Marie Shedlock is famous for
the invention of a new and delight
full type of children's entertainment.
Dressed as a fairy, Miss Shedlock re-
counts to children with delicacy and
power the lovely tales Of Hans An
dersen. She keeps her wits about
her in her entertainments, and chill
dren, no matter how odd their ques-
lions may be, can never stump her.
She is always ready with an apt re-
ply.
Entertaining a children's party at
a certain millionaire's house in New
York, Miss Shedlock happened to en-
ploy the old proverb: 1.-THE early bird
catches the worm" A little boy
questioned the proverb promptly.
But wasn't the worm foolish" he
asked, ito get up early and be
caught?"
my DEAR" said Miss Shedlock,
that worm hadn't been to bed at
all. He was just getting home"

TEST FOR SPURIOUS COINS.
Simple Method Disclosed by a Juror
During a Trial.

At this session of the central GRIM
inal court there has been an excep-
tional number of charges of making
and uttering counterfeit coin, says the
London Tribune. At the conclusion
of one of the cases the foreman of the
jury asked the authorities If they
would take a suggestion from IL bust
hess men who during the year had
to deal with considerable sums in sill
yer coin.
There was a most simple test for
the detection OF base coin. 1t was to
cut the milled edge Of a good coin
sharply against the milled edge Of the
suspected coin. II the suspected coin
we're a spurious one the metal would
