Amity" while building up her navy and
Taft is simply going her oDe better. We
need lhe fleet in the Pacific, for without
it Japan will be q constant menace 10
the coast. As it is now, she could lay
il wssie from end to end with very little
interference on our part. We had best
leave the fleet in the Pacific when it gets
there and build another for the Atlantic. .,

GIRLS NOT ALLOWED
TO WADE FOR PRIZES
Leading Feature of Political Picnic at
Cleveland Called Off, Owing toN
Protests Entered by
Ministers

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. S.-There
were bands, marching clubs, prominent
speakers and candidates galore at the an
nual Cuyahoga county Republican picnic
at Luna park Saturday. A wading contest
in which pretty girls were to take the
star roles had been advertised as the one
big evert, and 1t brought thousands to
the picnic. But the pretty girls were not
allowed to do any splashing.
A protest, led by the ministers of the
city, and taken up by the various
churches, forced this feature off the pro-
gram at the last minute, and the con-
tests were limited to the usual popular
girl and prettiest baby affair.
The committee in charge of the picnic
had planned to have the girls wade in the
park lagoon for money tied to buoys, the
winners not being allowed to wet their
skirts, and bathing suits being barred.
The ministers and W. c. T. U. leaders
thought this would provide a very i'm
moral spectacle and sent delegations to
protest. Candidates, fearing church op-
position at the polls, forced the committee
to abandon it's scheme.

BIG AIR COMPRESSOR IS
INSTALLED AT jim BUTLER
TWO scHWAR PROPERTIES ARE
CONSOLIDATED
FairvIew Eagle Is Compared with
Nevada Hills and Is Becoming
Mecca of Mining Men
and Prospectors

TONOPAH, New, Sept. S.-A big air
compressor is being installed at the Jim
Butler mine camp. and the workers are
busy putting the pines throughout the
mine. In short time the breaking OF
ore will be done by machinery and the
progress of development will be
speeded UP considerably. An electric
hoist will be installed to replace the
present gasoline, machine, which is far
too small for the work 1t has to 10.
Eight men in the Jim Butler are en-
gagged in development and exploration
work to every one that IS empioSeu ~
Stopping ore The mine makes regulari
shipments of 100 ton or so a week to pay
operating expenses.
The Jim Butler is known to the mining
men of the district as the greatest milling
proposition in Tonopah, but so Tar the
company, which is dominated by ihe
Tonopah Mining company, has MADE no
effort to put the property on producing
and dividend paying sbasis. Local men
would not be at all surprised to have the
company announce it's intention OF put
ting up an enormous mill to treat lts
output.
The consolidation of the Golden Anchor
and Midway Extension at Tonopah has
been consummated, the former taking
over the property of the latter in ex-
change for 100000 shares of its stock. Be
fore this was done the capital stock OF
the Golden Anchor was increased from
/, 100000 to 100000 shares
The Golden Anchor is one OF the
Schwab properties, as is the Midway Ex-
tension Its stock once sold as high as
SO a share and the mine has very
likely showing What seemed to be q
large ore body was discovered, and the
vein followed up to the east line OF the
Midway Extension which property ex-
tends for nearly mile north and west
of the Golden Anchor. Negotiations were
entered Into for the acquisition OF tht
Midway Extension. Meanwhile the treas.
ury of the Golden Anchor was exhausted
| and the treasury stock disposed OF anc
| the company was in debt to the amount
| Of nearly $4,000.
The Fairview Eagle is one of the mos
| talked of mines in Southern Nevada. The
best of mining experts are comparing i
with Nevada Hills, the biggest mine II
| all Nevada up to date, and one or th'
| greatest mines in the world And some
| of these mining men are saying that thu
property is as good as the Nevada Hills
and some are saying 1t will surpass Ne
vada Hills in point of production.
| Leases are being sought in the district
The Fairview Eagle, as everybod,
knows, is Wingheld and Nixon prop
ertv, and in these days that is almost ;
guarantee of it's being mine and a BIZ
| one.
