Didn't Keep The Appointment.

A young man at Prague fell in love
with q pretty German girl and sent
her q note proposing a place of meet
ing. He wrote: "That my darling
may make no mistake, remember l
will wear a light pair of trousers and
q dark cutaway coat. In my right
hand l will carry q cane and in my
left q cigar. Yours ever, Jake" The
girls father got hold of the note, and
sent this answer dot mine son
make no mistake, I will be dreshed
in mine shirt sleeves. l will year in
mine right hand a club, and in mine
left hand I will wear a six shooter.
You will recognize me by de way |
bats you on de heat a goapleI time

corner, as l have Something's import.

The farther east one goes, it seems,
the greater the proportionate indebt.
edness. Added to this is the fact that
in the east the farms have been so con-
tinuously worked for many years that
the soil needs constant stimulation
with artificial fertilizers, entailing
large expense. Similar conditions
are gradually becoming more and
more apparent in the middle west.
While in this country the soil is fruit
full to a degree that excites the wonder
of all that behold it. Hence the great
migration that is taking place from
the east to the west.
Men learn that with a small portion
of the proceeds Of the sales of extern.
sive farms in the sast-farms so large
that the burden of culvitating them is
q serious matter-they can buy small
err tracts here from which they can
get larger and better returns and have
money in the bank, instead of pursu.
ing a hand to mouth existence.
The freedom from mortgage indebt-
edness SO noticeable in the Pacific
northwest cannot be looked upon in
any other light than a demonstrating
that those who have made their homes
here are year by year adding to their
store of wealth and enjoying a meas.
ure Of prosperity not equalled in any
other quarter Of the country.

A CITY or TENTS.
san Francisco Authorities Plan Model
Camp For Thousands,

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-Condi.
tions at the Presidio are being rapidly
reduced to q systematic basis. The
great excitement of the few days fol.
lowing the earthquake and the great
fire has subsidized, and the efforts of
the authorities are now being directed
to the organization of a perfect system
for the control Of the thousands Of
people who have sought refuge within
the precincts of the reserve. Within
a day or so a model camp will have
been put into operation.
Preparations are being made to
gather together all the refugees within
one immense tented city. The model
city will be located just within the
north of the Union street entrauc of
the Preside. 1t will be streeted,
severed, and constantly patrolled,
and order and sanitation conditions
preserved as nearly as is possible.
The food supply will be regulated
and the promiscuous given of eatables,
clothing and other supplies will cease.
Hereafter the residents of the camp will
not be required to go to the various
relief stations for their supplies, but
the various commodities will be dis
tributed from tent to tent.
1t has been definitely ascertained by
the commissary and other depart.
ments that there has been great abuse
of the free food and clothing privilege.
Whole families have been accustomed
to standing in line several times a
day, each carrying away with him
supplies of food to last for several
days. In this way some families have
accumulated stocks of provisions to
last them for many weeks to come.
Food is being distributed at four
distinct points in the Presidio, and a
system has been devised which obvi-
ates the long delays which character
lied the first few days of the distribu.
ton of eatables to the needy. At one
camp, which is a counterpart OF the
others, canned roast beef, canned
corned beef, beans, rice, onions, po-
tatoes, prunes, bread, pepper, sugar,
tea and milk were served in turn to
the long line, each person asking for
what he or she wanted when passing
the various tables. In this manner an
applicant for food received a sufficient
assortment within two minutes after
entering the relief station. At the
hospitals within the reserva alton the
most satisfactory conditions prevail.
Wholesale dealers of the Produce
exchange held a meeting yesterday
and established prices to consumers
as follows;
Butter, 30 cents per one and half
pound rolls: 40 cents for two pound
rolls: eggs, 20 cents, cheese, 124 cents
per pound, spot cash. Violation of
the regulation will subject the vic.
lators to heavy penalty. Lombard
street wharf has been secured for re-
ceiving shipments.

would rather not name the men
who are the heaviest stockholders in
the property, aside from the officers and
directors. They are men of great
prominence in eastern business and
financial centers. and their names rarely
appear in connection with mining mat
tiers.
There is certainly a great interest
in mining throughout the east. and In
fact all through the country. Any
mining enterprise can now
secure ample funds for its develop
ment. Nevada is attracting the prin-
cipal attention. and I have no doubt II
will hold the leading position for a long
time. 1t is hard to express a sufficient
of the Importance of the
Nevada mining discoveries of the last
few years. No other section of the
world ever opened so many important
mining districts in so short a period,
and ] am of the opinion that the pres
ent speculative activity will seem
small in the light of the activity which
is likely to come with a continuance of
these favorable developments.

MANHATTAN MIDWAY

The Manhattan Midway company,
owner of the Thomas and Ondonwa
claims, located in one of the most fav-
orabse sections of the Manhattan min
eral belt, is preparing to prospect de-
velopment on an extensive scale. To
hi end a force of miners has been
secured and the men will cave here
next week for the property. The claims
adjoins the Pittsburg group On which a
strike of $500 ore was made last week.
The extension of his rich ledge has
been traced to the Manhattan Midway
holdings and it is to be proved up at
once.

Lying due north from this property
a distance of about two miles is what Is
known as Alkali springs. These springs
deliver an abundance of water for all
mining purposes in his vicinity. At the
present time the Combination Mining
company of Goldheld has a pumping
plant located at these springs, which is
pumping water TO their property, a dis
lance of twelve miles. There is also
located at these springs n large electric
power station. This power station be-
longs to the California Electric Power
company. which has an immense power
plant at Bishop Creek, California, a dis
lance of ninety miles from Goldfeld.
This power plant is furnishing prac-
tically all the power for Goldfeld. and
the surrounding districts. Having this
power at such a short distance from the
holdings of the Nevada Copper company
makes 1t an ideal proposition, as 1t af-
fords cheap power for all mining and
reduction purposes.
But six miles due north from the
property the Tonopah branch railroad
that runs into Goldfeld affords means
of transportation.

Col. Sherwood Aldrich. of Colorado
Springs. who with Messrs. eddie and
Carstairs, figured out the big Tramps
Bullfrog combination recently. was in
GoldheId this week and left for San
Francisco Thursday morning. whence
he will return to his home the last of
the week. While here. among other
business transacted. Mr.. Aldrich as an
officer Of the Silver Pick and Lone Star
companies. looked over their properties
and gave directions for future work.
He talked interestingly about the big
BulIfrog combination. and the situation
in Nevada in general. as he viewed IT.
He said:
As you know. the Tramp Consol-
idated is the merger of the Denver.
Eclipse and Tramp properties pm Boz
nanza mountain. They cover something
over 1856 acres. and include sixteen
veins already opened in which ore is
known to exist. These veins range from
a width of .fiur feet TO an extreme of
over two hundred feet. The main
Tramp vein. for instance. shows this
latter width Of solid quartz in the CEN
ter of the Tramp No. l claim, and a
considerable portion of it is good ore.
The Eclipse vein (also called the
Westerly Tramp vein). has a width OF
twelve to fourteen feet of solid ore, and
the Hobo vein from seven to ten feet,
much of the latter ore being high grade.
The Denver vein now shows a width OF
thirty-three feet of ore, all of which
will be shipped or milled. We naturally
feel that this consolidated property is
one of the greatest mines of the United
States.
"A large air compressor plant will be
ready for shipment to the property as
soon as the Clark railroad is into Bull
frog-probably by June l.. Meanwhile
about fifty men are employed opening

Major w. A.. stanton. mining engineer.
has just completed a report on the prop
critics of the Nevada Copper company in
the Montezuma mining district. The
report contains an exhaustive descrip-
ton of the geology of the camp and is
herewith reproduced:
The formation in the Montezuma dis
trict is characterized by the presence OF
both igneous and sedimentary rocks
These sedimentaries are doiomite and
~calcareous shale. which are CLASSIFIED as
pre- eambian by the stan of the United
states geological survey. which has re-
Gently made a reconnaissance OF the as
trict. II would appear that the doio-
mites and shale beds which. as stated
above, constitute the documentary form
alton in this district nav been up-lifted
on the southern and eastern slopes OF a
granite intrusion. which has over
flowed the underlying sedimentary rocks
TO the north of the vent through which
this intrusion occurred. This fiat over
throw spreading out on the s~edimentary
rocks to the northward is the same
granite and ~porphyry, as well as rhyo-
lite. that forms the bulk of the country
rock in which the gold bearing veins OF
the Goldheld district occur. The sum
init of the mountain mass which is the
most striking feature of the topography
of the Montezuma district is formed by
the highest point of this granite intru-
sion. After his intrusion occurred 1t
would appear that both the granite
above referred to and the sedimentary
rocks were penetrated by later intru-
sions of diabase. The intrusion of these
diabase dykes has produced an extern
sive system of faults and fractures In
the sedimentary rocks. They do not
penetrate all of the sedimentary strata,
so that they only appear where some of
the sedimentaries nave been removed by
erosion, as in the case of deeper gulches.
Where visible they range in width from
six to fifty feet. The granite mass,
which is referred to as being intruded
through the s~edimentary rocks appears
al the surface about one thousand feet
north to the northermost claim shown
on the attached plat.
1.-THE secret of the extensive dissem-
ination of gold. copper and silver values
throughout the porphyry, rhyolite and
granite formations of the M~ontezuma,
Cuprite and Bullfrog mining districts is
unquestionably due to the fact that they
have been excessively fractured and
ruptured by great systems of dykes of
eruptive rock; these connecting links of
molten matter which science tells us
represent in a measure the unfathom-
able interior of the earth and which by
analysis are shown to contain all the
elements of the heavy metallic minerals,
especially gold and copper.
Modern research has shown that
diorite dykes are very favorable for the
fertilization of veins with gold, copper
n silver. In fact a gold mine is now
being very successfully operated in
South Africa, the gangu of which is the
unaltered magma of diorite and granite
dykes.
Tn this respect then the Montezuma
district is especially favored, for its
dyke systems are largely composed of
