IN
NEVADA GOOD
Los Angeles Mining Man Talks to
the Mining Review...TeIIs Of
Ore Production.

DR.. A. H. Elftman, mining en-
gineer, has just returned after max
ing a thorough Investigation of the
Nevada mining situation. He reports
mining operations greatly retarded on
account of the temporary tightness in
the money market. Banks refuse to
advance money to operators who
have only mining stocks to offer as
security. Those mines that have the
money to use are developing ore
bodies most encouragingly.
Said Dr. Elftman: "As an indica-
ton of the way in which the mines
are being worked in the number of
new stamp mills being erected Six
months ago there was but one stamp
mill treating Tonopah ores, now there
are four big ones dropping stamps.
Three stamp mills are under con-
struction in the Kawich country, a
100 stamp mill was started at Rhyo-
lite 10 days ago and another at Blair
week ago. The first mill in Man
haitian was started a week ago, two
others there are nearing completion
and it is the same story throughout
the state Now it stands to reason
that the erection and continuous OPP
GRAFTON of mills means that ore is be-
ing produced.
DR.. Elftman gives similar informa-
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-11-28

ton in regard to the work of the
railroads. Surveys have been made
for a railroad from Ely to Tonopah,
which goes right through the heart
of the Wawich country, in which are
located the recent rich strikes at
Golden Arrow, Silver Bow, Bellhelen
and Horseshoe. Last week the Clark
road reached Goldfield and the BoraX
Smith road pushed on to Rhyolite.
Labor is scarce and the railroads are
taking the men away from the mines.
These facts said DR.. Elftman,
ARE better proof of the states prog
ress and prosperity than all the stock
juggling of manipulators.
In DR.. Elftman's opinion the finan-
cial stringency did much to better
mining conditions in Nevada, mas
much as wildcat schemes went to
pieces, forcing their promoters to
leave the state.
The owners of reputable properties
are doing all they can to break up
wild eating in Nevada. Almost every
camp is forming a promotion and
publicity committee, the duty of
which is to give correct information
to those Waiting to invest. The pro-
motion committees give but the bare
facts. They let outsiders know
whether the mine is being worked,
its location, surroundings, past his
tory and such other information
which will do much in dispelling the
wonderful visions of the wildcat pro-
moters. Mining Review.

New Crowd in Control of
TOnopah Mining Claim
a Great Producer.
BROCK MADE PROPERTY
Is Admitted According to State
ment of New Powers lie Put 1t
In Shape to Pay Dividends.

In the following letter to l.. l..
Mushett, J. S. McCord and company,
brokers, of Philadelphia, who made
the successful fight against the Brock
regime of the Tonopah Mining have
much praise for the big mine and
faith in the new management. The
letter says:
Since taking the antagonistic po-
sition that we did in reference to the
management of the Tonopah Mining
company, the stock of this company
has materially declined, and even
though, knowing as we did, that it
was selling very much below it's in
trinsic worth, We did not, until such
time as a successful conclusion had
been reached with regard to our po-
sition in the matter, care to advise
its purchase.
Now that John w. Brock has
passed from the presidency of the
company, and James S. Austin has
been elected in his place, we feel that
the companys affairs will have the
attention and management which is
so necessary for the proper carrying
on of the mine. The success of the
mine is absolutely assured, and large
dividends can be anticipated.
1.-THE values, as is very well known,
are in the mine and all that is neces-
sary to extract and turn them into
dividends is the right kind of atten-
ton. Years have been given to the
development of this property, and
much time wasted, nevertheless it is
now in a condition to produce large
sums of money in an economical
manner. Great developments have
been and are taking place in the
has been paid lately New bodies of
ore have been encountered, carrying
very high values, results of which
should now promptly revert to the
dividend account.
1.-THE mine as whole, disregard
ing the unpleasant conditions of the
past, is one of the greatest and most
legitimate mining properties in this
country today. It's tremendous ore
bodies, its high values, the compile
ton of its reduction plant, and the ia
cilities for the transportation of its
ore, make it an unparalleled PROPOSE
ton from mining standpoint.
Whatever speculative features
there might have been. at the pres
ent price of the stock, have been
practically eliminated, and for Il long
period of years, unless Unforeseen
conditions arise, the stock can be re-
lied upon as a dividend payer.
'Tonopah pays $1,000,000 yearly,
which from time to time should in
crease, which increase will naturally
tend to the enhancement of the price
and value of the stock"

GHOSTS PLAY MANY FRANKS.

Ghostly happenings have disturbed the town of Kirkwall, the capital of the county of Orkney. On Wednes- day night, says the London Daily Mail, the wife of the bellringer went to St. Magnus cathedral to sound the curfew at eight o'clock. This is an ancient custom still observed in the burgh The bell had been tolled for less than a minute, when, it is alleged, figure suddenly appeared at the woman S side, snatched her hands from the rope and as mEsteriously disappeared
 Another morning 20 trees which few years ago were planted in front of the cathedral were found to have been cut down The night was a calm one, with brilliant moonlight, and the trees were standing at one o'clock in the morning.
 Hundreds of windows have an out look. on the spot, and many people who were still astir at three o'clock in the morning did not hear the slightest sound outside. Yet an hour later every tree had been destroyed. The police are baff1ed.

The doorbell rang and Samuel Hol lowell. with an agility that belied his years, beat Sally Williams and Ma Simpkins to the door, Bob McGuires face shone with happiness as he en- tered the room.

Bill Chiles. old Sis bosom friend, sat un- comfortably in Q straight-backed chair, nervously opening and shutting his jackknife and occasionally reiterating to Si Simpkins a remark about the fine weather, to which that much agitated individual replied each time with fine emphasis.
 Of the little party, sister Sue ap- peared the least nervous and appre- hensive-that is, at first blush. As a matter of fact, the dancing light in her eyes, the rosy flush upon her cheeks and the rise and fall of her bosom would have told an uncon. cerned observer that Susie's heart was fluttering as it never had fiuttered before

FURIOUS HUMoR ON CHILD.
Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body -Nothing Helped Her-Cuticura
 Cures Her in Five Days.

After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fortnight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size She suffered great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twenty four hours we noted considerable i'm provement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one. much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.

floors are reached by an arrangement of separate staircases, each of which gives access only to one particular floor or set of rooms. Thus Whites friends passed up a staircase which gave them no hint that there were any rooms on the basement floor at all, and by closing door here and open ing another there-all the doors being operated by system of secret springs, which could be worked from key boards on each floor known practically 10 White alone-the visitor could be led straight to any part of the house White wished without being taken through any other part. But for gen era.l purposes it was the first floor used aB the main reception room and for the big supper parties like that in which the Pie Girl figured.

The glorious sunlight streamed through the windows of the Simpkins parlor upon little group of excited, happy persons, their faces shining and flushed, their eyes filed with the eag- erness of the great occasion. For this was Sue Simpkins wedding day.
 Bob Mcclure had not yet arrived, but the old parson of the little church on the outskirts of Postoak was there and Ma Simpkins, arrayed in her best black, which Samuel Hollowell had given her at Christmas, also Si Simp- kins, too much fustered to notice the usual discomfort of starched shirt and stiff collar, and young Si, wildly i'm patient for things to begin.
