SAVES 100000 ANNUALLY.
Provision Incorporated in Postoffioe
Appropriation Bill.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The house
committee on postoflces and post
roads has incorporated provision in
the postoflce appropriation bill, which,
1t is said, will save the government
100000 a year in the amount paid
to the railways for hauling mail mat
ter. The action was taken after an
explanation by Representative Muir
dock of Kansas, who said that the
department was using false 'di-
visor" in that it weighed the mail for
seven days and divided the amount
by six to ascertain the amount on
which to base the compensation of
the roads. The provision agreed. on
requires that weighing shall be done
for seven days and the amount d.
vided by seven.

SAN FRANCISCO GOES UP HIGHER.

San Francisco has done wer-in fact, better than some Of her sis
ter cities that have held their noses while the San Francisco exposures
have been challenging the attention of the United States. San Francisco
was an especially deep sink of political iniquty, no doubt. But the
cleansers have the merit of thoroughness. They are not stopping at the
conviction of creatures and tools, at the imprisonment of ordinary fraft-
ers and boodlers. They have gone and ire going to the fountain heads
of corruption.
In this particular they may be said to be fairly exceptional among
reformers, who but too often are content with the cleansing of the outside
of the cup, leaving it foul within.
Louis Glass, a man of property and reputation, head of the San
Francisco telephone system, an old man, a substantial citizen, will Join
Ruef and Schmitz in the cells of San Quentin. A jury pronounced him
guilty of giving brides, thereby establishing in San Francisco the prin-
Icple that he who corrupts another is as guilty as he who receives the
bride, and is not to escape punishment while the man he corrupted suffers
the harsh penalty alone.
Assistant District Attorney Francis j. Heney, who prosecuted the
case against Glass, is justified in saying: THE verdict of the jury vindi-
Gates the city of San Francisco In the eyes of the world, and demonstrates
beyond question the high standard Of citizenship that here prevails"
And Special Agent William ] Burns, the detective who secured the
evidence that convicted Ruef, Schmttz and Glass, is justified in saying:
such a verdict as this one bespeaks the justice of the jury system and
proves that, fairly tried. no man, however RICH or powerful he may be.

DIVIDENDS ON MINING PROPERTIES.

The Mining World has a very interesting article on the dividends
on mining properties, which will be very good reading for those who
ing mining for their own unworthy purposes. The greatest dividends
are those paid by the copper companies, but there is nothing small
about the amounts that have been paid and that are being paid by the
gold and silver properties throughout the United States,
According to Che authority quoted, 100 mines and metalurgral
works in the United States, have paid dividends for the eight months Of
this year, amounting to $6~4,967,1S1. Up to date these same concerns have
paid dividends of $519,191,S03 on an issued capitalization of $685.

Guided lOf gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and quicksilver mines which
have already declared dividends amounting to ~$4717S4,2oS, which is
equivalent to 124 per cent on the outstanding capitalization OF $3.50,
239,467.
These figures are dazzling to the eye, particularly when it is re-
membered that they are not figures on paper, but represent the hard
coin of the realm which has been taken out of the ground. They show
cess of the investment. The man in the east. who is paid to decry min
ing investments for the benefit of the Wall street securities fails to find
where dividends are paid on investments in mines. He AN see no far
Their than the money which goes in; he never see the money coming
out of the ground.
These returns, however, are a very satisfactory assurance TO those
of us who have faith in the mining industry, that " e are OF the right
track, and that we are not putting our money into the ground in vain

amount Of dividends that has been paid. We have gold, silver, copper,

John Salsberry, a Tonopah man, is now sinking a great amount of
money in the opening and developing of the Ubehebe copper mines in
the southern part of the state. He has developed the properties to a de-
gree that he a begin to see the dawn Of the returns; but he has yet

Everything in the nature of mineral Is being found II this state.

WONDER RUSHING
RIGHT ALONG
CONSIDERABLE WORK Is BEING
DONE ON ALL PROPER
TIES.

Alexander T. johnson, general
manager of the Spider and Wasp, Is
here from Wonder, and says that
while that camp has felt the effect OF
the general depression, there has
been considerable work going on all
the time.
The main shaft Of the Spider and
Wasp is down 100 feet and a forty
horsepower gasoline hoist has been
installed, and is running in full blast.
AT the one hundred level, a crosscut
has been started, and there will be a
~crosscut run at every station of II
hundred feet. To the west of the
main working shaft, and at a dis
lance of 200 feet, an inclined shaft
is being sunk, and is now down fifty
feet. Six feet of the rock at the bot
tom Of this shaft will average SIS a
ton, and from the formation and the
| general character of the rock, Mr..
johnson is confident that they will
run into ore OF a higher grade.
A crosscut is being driven from
the bottom of the shaft, which is
now fifty feet in length to the south.
In the west drift from the bottom
of the shaft, the vein is looking de-
cidedly better, carrying. some ore OF
greater value.
"The mine is looking very well,
indeed" said Mr.. johnson, land tho
leasers, which have been inactive
during the season of depression, arr
now beginning to return to work in
earnest. The Reilly lease has done
about 500 feet of work, and they are
getting into the neighborhood Of the
ore bodies. Leases Nos. 8 and 1C
are down 100 feet, and have cross
cut t~hirty-five feet south. They arr
now prosecuting north. Lease No
90 is down seventy-five feet and ha'
crosscut thirty feet north, u%ncoyerinl
a vein twenty feet wide, of low grad
ore.
Lease No. II resumed operation
on the fifteenth, and 1t will be onl,
a short time before they are all work
ing again.
while the town is very quiet,
great many companies are pushin

WAS VICTIM OF
MAD PROSPECTOR
Transfer ATTACKED BY HEAT,
CRAZED MAN AND MAY
DIE.

Wayne Ewing, a teamster in the
employ Of the Ubehebe Mines Com
pany was brought there yesterday
for medical treatment. 1t is feared
that his skull is fractured ana that
he may die. The unfortunate man
was a victim of another unfortunate,
a prospector who became crazed from
the heat and thirst of the desert.
The name of the p%rospector cannot be
learned at present, for he is in hid
ing, if not dead in the Businesses Of
the Ubehebe, or on the sands of
Death Valley.
The nan first appeared at Ubehebe
about II o'clock on Sunday night.
He had evidently been on the desert
for many hours and the only solu-
ton to his condition is that he was
one more Of the poor fellows who
attempted to cross Death Valley in
the heat of the day and became
crazed with the heat. He was first
noticed when he awakened the men
of the camp by throwing stones
against the sides of the tents. The
men rushed out pell nell and made
out the figure of the maniac in the
dark.
He did not keep anyone guessing
long as to his intentions, for he be-
gan Immediately hurting stones, and
the second or third one he threw
struck poor Ewing on the head. But
for cooler judgment prevailing the
demented prospeetor would have beer
shot on the spot. But 1t suddenly
dawned upon one of the desert mer
that the wanderer was one Of the
victims of Death Valley, Henry
Merry, a young mining engineer fin
) ally rushed toward him, fourishins
) his revolver and yelling at him Xix,
? an Indian.
The yelling stopped the man il
his work, and before he could recove
young Merry was upon him, revolye
in hand, 1t must have been that tn,
action of the engineer restored lin
to his normal mind for the nonce
: and before he could move, other
piled onto him and bound him wit
e ropes. He was then taken TO a ten
and left for the night.
Ewing was taken to Bonnie Clair
a the next day, with orders that he b
e rushed to Tonopah as fast as pos
n sible. lie was obliged. however, t
wait for Tuesdays train, whic
brought him here yesterday morning
Meanwhile the unfortunate victim {
Death Valley gnawed his way throug
n the ropes that bound him and mad
his escape. He was missed early
the morning and Immediately a poss
g started out in pursuit. At last a.
e counts the poor fellow had not bee
" recaptured.

further examination revealed the
presence OF a we'll defined ledge Gov
ering the entire bottom of the shaft.
The vein matter consists OF sugar
quartz heavily ~impregnated with iron
s~ulphides, and Is almost identical
with the ores found in the Falrview,
and it is my belief that when the
ledge is opened up it will prove a bo-
nanza. Our plans for prosecuting
from this level have been changed,
and instead of carrying out the orig
inal idea, WI will continue sinking.
The past week has been spent in tim
bering the shaft and by the first oil
the coming week sinking will be re-
sumed."
Mr.. Mohler stated that no effort
would be made 10 develop the ledge
at the present level, but that the
shaft would be continued another
fifty feet, giving a total depth Of 262
feet. From this latter point a cross
cut will be started, and will be run
to cut both the new found ledge n
the one known as the oxidized ledge,
which was followed down the Incline
shaft for y distance OF 40 feet.
The new find on the Buckhorn has
created considerable excitement
among the mining men of the district
and the result has been that much ac-
tivity is noticeable among the ira
tcrnity holding property in the M
mediate vicinity Vernon Miner.

TONOPAH'S FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Within a very few weeks the combination engine and hose wagon
will be here, and then Tonopah will enjoy as good fire protection as any
place in the State. There Is coming an additional thousand feet of hose,
which will add materially to the efficiency of the department.
This is praiseworthy work and the commissioners are to be COM
mended upon their good work in securing for the city the new appar-
atus. 1t Is not only another mark of advancement, but 1t means that
the city is that much safer from the ravages of fire, and that the insur-
ance rate to the individual will be so much less. Tonopah is steadily
advancing all the time in the way of progress. There has been improve
ment in all directions except in the price of the stocks, but it is only
a matter of a short time when this too will come. Just a slight loosen
ing up in the financial conditions in the East and stocks will go sky
wards
