FIVE miles from Phonolite, another new
camp that has drawn many people to
the scene from Carson City.
a surveyors gang Is running a rail-

mill site is being graded rapidly.
The shaft on the Montana Midway
has dropped into the lode porphyry
formation that is the usual value
bearing rock in this camp, at the 500
foot depth now reached. Quartz string
ers carrying small values appear at
intervals and at the 600-foot mark the
company will run drift to catch the
ledge that it is thought lies close to
the shaft. Bad air in the shaft is re-

operations on the Tonopah Comstoek
group, adjoining the West Tonopah.
The West Tonopah people are still ST.

strike. It is stated, however, that
they have eight feet of exceedingly
high grade rock and indications of the
presence of another ledge which should
be caught at a little greater depth.

Decorated After Death

Munich, April 27.-Several curious
cases have become public just now
which illustrate the rather lax manner
in which record of decorations con.
ferred is kept in Bavaria. On the oc.
casion of the last birthday of the
Prince Regent a number of decorations
were bestowed on various persons.
Among these honors was the confer.
ment of the Ludwig's medal on Herr
Basil, prominent theatrical manager.
1t has just leaked out that Herr Basil
had been honored with that very same
decoration many years ago.
An even more remarkable case i.
that of Fraulein Augusta Lyncker
who, owing to red tape delay, was at
last to receive the Cross of Merit for
services rendered in the Bavarian field
hospitals during the Franco -Prussian n
war. The lady in question could not be
found, and only just now it has been
discovered that she has been dead for
2s years.
