TONOPAH OF TOP

q, Amid the general uproar about
Goldeld, Manhattan and Bullfrog the e
seems to be disposition to forget
the mother of them all. Tonopah
is as little mentioned rs the CcmstCch
say. AS matter of fact the de-
velopments and discoveries in Tonopah,
last year We're greater than in any
other of the southern camps.
Tonopah last year paid out 81
100000 in dividends. divided as fol-
lows: Tonopah Mining company, ST.
GOO 900: Tonopah Extension. s15o,00N:
Montana, 100000; Midway, s5of
600.
This very clever showing for
camp so young as Tonopah and gives
promise of greater returns in divi-
dends in the near future.
And the total dividends declared
would have been much greater had
the smelter capacity Of the Pacific
Coast been able to meet the supply Of
Tonopah ore offered.
At the beginning of 1905 there We're
but four companies in Tonopah ship
ping ore-the Tonopah, Tonopah Ex-
tension. Montana, and Belmont. The
close of the year found seven ship
pers, the Midway, North Star, and
West End having been added to tn
list during the twelve-month.
And the outlook for 1906 is more
favorable still. Beginning the year
with seven shipping mines, instead
of the four of last year. it promises
to add to the list this year the Golde-7
Crown, Golden Anchor, Red Rock,
Belmont Extension, McKane, Tonopat
Home. Ohio, Tonopah Standard, West
Tonopah. New York Consolidated am
Cash Boy, making eighteen shippers
with the end of the year that begins
with seven.
The truest test Of successful minin'
is the dividend list and Tonopah i:
certainly making good" in that re
spect and promising to do better
with every day.

Overturned Roats.

"Whea small boat .capsizes," said
an old river man, ''the occupants
should not try to climb aboard. bot
should lightly cling to 1t until help
comes. Even a light canoe will In all
probability sustain their weight until
assistance arrives If they Will only
cling as lightly to its overturned sides
as possible, allowing the body to float
In the water, which 1t will do, and not
under any circumstances to attempt to
bear down upon the canoe or to crawl
upon the overturned bottom.
This is where the fatal mistake oc'
ours in nearly all boating drowning ac'
cidents. A single man with n good
sized plank In the water can In his
struggles and efforts to save himself
push the plank beneath the surface OF
the water and drown then and there,
whereas the same plank will support
the wei~ht of three men who are well
posted lld cool enough merely TO grasp
its edges with as little downwarI pres
sure as possible. y single oar has
saved many q sailors life In this man
ner. which a landsman would grasp,
push It down in the water and go down
with Washington Star.

Inebriety and the Eating of Fruit.


There Is but one sure cure for the
drinking disease or habit, and that Is
the simplest of all. The cure consists
in eating fruits. That will cure the
worst case of inebriety that ever af-
aicted a person. It will entirely de-
stroy the taste for intoxicants and VIII
make the drunkard return to the
thoughts and tastes OF his childhood
No person ever saw man or woman
who liked fruit and who had an ap-
petite for drink. No person ever sa"
a man or woman with an appetite for
drink who liked fruit. The two tastes
are M deadly enmity with each other
and there Is no room for both OF them
in the same human constitution. One
will surely destroy the other.-What 10

How Much Air g--e Have.

One hundred and th'-,v-One miles IS
the height OF the atmosphere as meas
ured b. Professor T. ]. j. Geo, who
determines the thickness Of the air
envelope by noting the difference be-
tween the time Of sunset and the com
plete disappearance OF blue from the
sky. The moment at which the blue
changes into black can be observed
quite easily with approximate GER
talnty By the naked eye when the
air Is clear, and by t1igonometry
may be Gscertalned the distance below
the horizon OF the sun at the moment
Of change. BY this means may be cal
culated the height Of the smallest illu-
minated particles Of oxygen and nitro
gen which give to the sky It's blueresS
Of tint by the reflection Of the smallest
wave lengths OF the suns light. The
Instant Of change from blue to black
Is possibly q little difficult Of exact
observation. bur The method IS not more
doubtful than that based ON the Oh
seryauon OF shooting stars. The shoot
Ing star method gives a result not
greatly differing from the vanishing
blue method The former gives the
height OF the atmosphere at 100 miles.
