TONOPAH MINES
I'm MERGER DEAL

There Is the best of information at
hand to Justify the belief that negotia-
lions are now progressing for a con-
solidation of the Golden Anchor prop
erty, at Tonopah. with some other cor
poration at that camp. says the New
York Commercial. The belief exists that
It probably will be with the Montana
Midway Extension company. which adj
joins the Golden Anchor. While the
outcome of the negotiations cannot be
forecasted with any degree of certainty.
there is good ground for the feeling that
a deal will result.
A meeting in which the principals will
participate has been called for some
time next week., and will be held in
either Philadelphia or Pittsburg.
The Golden Anchor property has re-
Gently witnessed a big decline in its
stock, which was caused by the rumor
that the big 30-foot ledge at a depth of
500 feet was not showing more than
low grade values. Drifting on TINS body,
however. may at any time show up
high grade ore.
The managemen Of the Montana Mid
way Extension Mining company expects
to start crosscuts from the 450-foot
point IN the shaft at an early day. A
number Of quartz stringers have been
encountered recently in the course of
sinking. and 1t is believed that an ore
body will be found within a short dis
lance of the shaft at the 450-foot level
The shaft is situated between the Mid
way and the Golden Anchor. and is in
line to catch the Midway ledge.

NEW ROAD NOW
ALMOST FINISHED

Alonzo Trip, formerly general man
ager of the Tonopah railroad. states that
the Silver Pea railroad will be COM
pleted by the first of the month. The
line leaves the Tonopah Dad at Coal
dale. Eighteen miles of the tracks are
already built.
1.-The Bullfrog and Tonopah. road"
he declared, has been constructed for
twenty miles and 1t will be built entirely
by the early part of December. This
line will open up that country it ira
verses and do away with the expensive
mule teams that are now used to trans
port the freight.
Then when Clark's Las Vegas and
Tonopah line is built into Bullfrog the
ore shipments can be made with great
ease. All of these operations show the
faith the eastern capitalists mine own
ers and railroad builders have in the
stability of the ore products. These
men will push the railroad building dur
ing the winter and when the spring
comes the lines will be completed"

ROCHESTER, GoLDFIELD LEDGEs
COMING rocErHER IN ONE BODY

The Rochester Goldfield is making a
fine showing as the vertical shaft goes
deeper. A series of lodges nave been
cut which have a pitch of 80 degrees TO
the easterly and it is the opinion of the
that with greater depth the
lodges will come together in one solid
ore body. The ledge proper is IS feet
wide between walls and as the lodges
get wider with depth. 1t would seem
only a matter of greater depth when
they would all meet in n solid ore
body. Good values are obtained from
each of tile lodges SO far exposed.

FACTS ABOUT KRYPToKs.

Kryptok lenses should appeal to the
eyes Of everyone on account of the
elegance OF their appearance. We
agree with you, who have known only
the old style bifocal, that 1t is not
pleasing in appearance or satisfactory
in service. The Kryptoks are a boon
to every wearer of bifocals. They ap.
peal to those particularly who, as a
matter OF pride, have put off the wear
ing of glasses. Kryptoks are worn
with ease and comfort, and the change
of focus is made without apparent
effort, they readily adjusting itself
from long to short focus without in
convenience. The advantage OF al
ways being able to see, If you have
your glasses on, is OF no small consid-

Kryptoks are the perfected results
OF years of expensive experiments,
and will no doubt eventually supplant
all other forms OF blfocals now SO
commonly used. III interested. write

Col. Torrey Of Wyoming, who served
in the Rough Rider regiment with
Roosevelt, has succeeded, by sys-
tematic crossing of Polled Angus cat
tie with Shorthorns, in producing an
animal with a curly dull brown
cOlored coat which, when tanned, can
not be distinguished from genuine
buffalo robe. The colonel is confident
that he has solved the problem OF
hides virtually the same as
those which covered the buffalo of the
plains, and says that within a few
years Overcoats and robes made from
this description of skin will be in com
mon use. The result of Col. Torrey's
hybridizing is important, as buffalo
robes and coats are now so scarce
that it requires small fortune to
obtain one.

Minnesota Swamp Lands.

The opinion of the attorney general
of the United States is that the state
of Minnesota should be coded $4,000
acres of swamp land from the United
States, which the department. of the
interior claimed should be reserved
as a government timber reserve. s.-
1T seems to me at present that
there are no intervening rights which
should stand in the way of the fulfill
ment of this grant to the state of Min
nesota," says the attorney general.
"Obvious]y, the forestry reserva-
ton referred to by the secretary of
agriculture does not constitute an OBJ
stacle of the kind referred to, because
forestry reservations do not belong to
third parties, but to the government.
1.-The rights of the Indians in or to
the reservation established after 1860
upon free public lands seem now to
have been reduced by the act of Jan.
II, 1889, to right to receive the pro-
ceeds in money of the lands, instead
of keeping the lands themselves: that
is to say, supposing the subsequent
creation of the Indian reservation
upon lands which were free public
lands at the date of the swamp land
grant gave the Indians any title to
swamp lands. f..
II do not think any such supposed
rights of the Indians to money should
now stand in the way of the fulfill
ment of the government grant of the
lands to the state. Equivalent money
could be paid to the Indians, if any is
due for swamp lands in the former
reservation.
"Treating the matter, then, as
wholly one between the government
and the state, I do not think that the
creation of a forestry reserve, under
a general law authorizing the forestry
officer to select lands for such reserve.
and not by a direct act of congress
specifying the lands to be included in
such reserve, should be held to
authorize the forestry officer to in
clude these swamp lands.''

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
has made public the provisions regu-
lating the Strengthening of animals,
packing and canning of meats, etc.,
as required by the recently enacted
law. With the government inspect
ors, and not with the packers, will
now lie the responsibility for the pur-
ity of the meats marketed by the beef

proceeds will be as represented upon
the cans, but if they are susceptible
to bribery no Improvement over the
stuff heretofore placed on sale can be
expected This should occasion no

Much ado is still being made in
Minneapolis over the fact that the
Red Cross society in San Francisco
converted a portion of the flour sent
to it for distribution among the earth
quake sufferers into cash. The trans
action has not only been referred to
in denunciatory terms by the chair
man of the Minneapolis relief commit
tee, but the members of the Red
Cross society have been charged with
grating. Looking at this matter
from a purely impartial viewpoint it
seems to US that the Red Cross society
had perfect right to dispose of that
flour in any manner it deemed fit so
long as the sufferers received the ben
eft. In this instance, so far as we
can ascertain, they did receive the
benefit. It was found that more flour
was on hand than needed, but that
there were many other commodities of
which the society was short. So it
sold portion of the flour and with
the proceeds purchased these goods
and distributed them to the needy.
This is what the Minneapolis commit
tee calls grating and. is making such
a howl about.
