ITS PROMISE
SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS DELIGHTS
GREAT CROWDS WITH
PERFORMANCE.

The Salt Lake Daily Herald, the
largest and most conservative paper
in Utah, speaks in the highest praise
of the big Sells-Floto Shows that
come to Tonopah on Monday. May
10.
1T has been said that when you
see one circus you see all circuses,
meaning that they are all alike. This
may be true of the general run of
such entertainments. There may be
bigger companies on the road, there
may be some with more canvas tents,
more lemonade vendors. more sellers
of pop corn and palm leaf fans, but
certainly there are none with a great
er variety of wholesome entertain
ment. The Sells-Floto Shows is
called the circus beautiful If an
entirely clean performance, if spick-
and-span wagons. attentive employees,
pliance with all the advance promises
make a circus beautiful, then the
Sells-Tloto combination is entitled to
the description.
The big tent was filled to it's ca
pacity at the performance yesterday
afternoon and evening, and If there
was one dissatisfied spectator he
failed to make his present known.
From beginning to end the circus is
worth seeing. The menagerie is
complete and the program contains
about everything that is worth see
ing in the circus line. A special fea-
ture is made of the trained animals,
the acrobats and the clowns, and all
of them are excellent.
Specially notable is the perform
anee of the five Potters, a family OF
aerobats that surpasses anything in
its line ever seen here. The double

ters in the air while swinging from
one trapeZe to another, and various
other feats were real novelties.
"In addition there were remark,

ances by the famous Alpine family
that accomplish entirely new ant
dangerous feats. The trained ami
mails were all good, and the clowns
of whom there were some thirty odd
kept the audience in an uproar Of
laughter with their antics.
"The Sells-Floto Show won Z
home for itself, as the saying goes
some time ago in these parts. 1T
enlarged successor promises to more
than keep up the good work"

ARRANGE THEIR
SUMMER CAMPAIGN
MINE-OWNERS OF LEE WILL
WORK TWO SHIFTS UNTIL
FALL

RHYOLITE, New, May 6.-Con-
trary to all expectation there will be
no cession of work in the Lee dis
trict during the summe months. The
mine-owners of the district have met
and decided to operate at least two
shifts throughout the m
Known shifts will go on at A
o'clock in the afternoon and at IL
O'Clock midnight. This will give the
mines two eight-hour shifts a day,
At least, and will allow for the stop.
ping of work during the day.
The fall of the year will probably
see an unparalleled activity in the
Funeral mountains, for the town of
Lee has grown even more than could
be expected.
The Miners union is erecting a
Miners Union hall in Lee-California.
The p~ostoffice has been established
and opened. Assay offices are open
ing. A telephone and telegraph ex-
change has just been openend, and
pipe lines for water are being
planned from the new well opened
three miles east of the townsite.
Streets are being graded and gen.
eral stores are being erected, and
while there probably will be no great
rush before the end of summer the
future of the district assured.
The Hayseed now is down more
than 100 feet and 5000 ore is being
sacked for shipment with more than
two cars already on the dump. The
big Whale property has been cutting
a fine ledge and the Burro and Lee
Gold Grotto have made better
strikes than could be expected.
Frank Pearson, who has just re-
turned from Echo canyon and Fur
mace creek, reports that the Inyo
property has made a rich strike in
the Upper Ten shaft and that the
stock of that concern will see IS be-
fore Christmas.
Just what the water solution will
be in Echo canyon has not yet been
made evident but the Ash Meadows
Water company. at the head oil
which is Judge Ray and former Gov
ernor Watres of Pennsylvania, ha;
received the pipe which will be
laid to supply the district around
Ash Meadows, and it is from this
source that Lee hopes to have water
piped.
The plan is to pipe water to the
top of the Funeral range to a reser
voir and let the flow to the mines b.
by %pravity.
The water discovery three milei
east of Lee may, however, be of {
great enough extent to supply tn,

DUDLEY BOOSTS
FOR MANHATTAN
SAYS CAMP NEVER LOOKED BET.
TER THAN AT PRESENT
TIME.

M. B. Dudley came in yesterday
from Manhattan, having just re-
turned there from a trip to San
Francisco and Wonder. Before his
departure for the metropolis, Mr..
Dudley effected the sale of the Man
haitian Crater to Philadelphia
parties, the property having since
been Incorporated under the name
of the Nevada Perseverance Mines
Company of Philadelphia.
A fifty horse power steam hoist
has been ordered, and will be in
stalled as soon as possible. The shaft
is down 100 feet and will be con
tinued to a depth of 500 feet, when
drifting will be commenced. Assays
have been taken which have returned
values of $4S a ton.
The property of the Nevada Per-
severance Mines Company is located
in South Manhattan, and close by is
the property of the Tonopah North
ern. On the latter there has been
opened up a ledge of two feet, which
| gives returns Of II per cent of cop
per and $12 in gold. 1t is the in
t%ention Of the company to sink to the
| 300-foot level.
Manhattan, according to Mr.. Dud-
ley, never looked better, and was
never in better shape for a boom.
I'VE will have a mill up in a very
short time" said Mr.. Dudley, and
there are more to come. The water
supply has been settled. and we have
enough water to keep as many mills
going as will be put up, and we have
the ore to keep the mills going. Man
haitian is bound to come to the front
for you cannot keep down merit
There have been five leases let al
ready On the Turtle Dove claim on

more leasing before a great while

It was here that lease after lease

direction, only a foot or two under
