the axles.
The most important figure on
the lot when a show first arrives in
a town is the boss canvasman. He
lays out the lot and assigns each
tent to its proper place. He Sill.
perintends with his assistants the
erection and putting into position
of the main tent, menagerie, and
with some shows the kid show
stables and black top for the NOV
ing picture machine. This mon
arch of all he surveys is designated
as the "old man" and has two OF
more assistants, the greater amount
of work and larger number OF men
to look after.
Next comes the boss property
man who sees to the erection OF
the dressing room, riggings, traps,
stages and all such constituent
parts appertaining thereto. He
has an assistant and to my way of
thinking the most difficult and
painstaking position of the whole.
The "kinkers" subject him to all
sorts of annoyances with their in
sistent and unreasonable demands.
Should any little mishap befall a
"kinker' he promptly seeks out
props" and explains to him the
imperfection of his traps or what
ever it may be, his lack of super
vision and utter carelessness. The
men under him are continually on
the 60 from the time the first
wagon arrives at the lot until the
last one leaves. Their work is one
round of drudgery and their sala-
ries are not commensurate with
half of the work they do.
Then we have the boss hostler
who has charge of all baggage
stock; directs the teamsters in the
transportation of all conveyances
to and from the show grounds;
sees that the men and horses are
in readiness for parade; keeps a
weather eye on his assistant who
apportions the feed proportionally
(if all stock were as we'll taken
care of as that of circuses there
would be no more use for the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, for the grooms vie
with one another in the slick ap-
pearance of their string" and
their pride gets the better of them
to such an extent that they pilfer
feed every chance they get) and
that they are properly fed, groomed,
harness cleaned and oiled, wagons
in good condition, etc. The over
seer of the ring stock is subject to
his orders to a certain extent, but
this individual considers himself
above that and fancies his orders
imperious.
Following we have the superin-
tendent of the menagerie, who
looks to the we'll being of all ami
mails in the menagerie, with the
exception of the elephants which
come under a separate head. He
superintends the feeding, tends to
their ills, sees that the cages and
dens are properly arranged and in
presentable condition. The man
who has charge Of the elephants is
likened unto that of the ring stock
boss, insomuch that he does not
consider his position inferior tc
that of the head of the menagerie
The transportation master puts
in most of his time arranging

ANOTHER RICH
STRIKE ON DAISY :

The Madigan lease on the Round
Mountain Daisy has been the pa
ton of the district this week. Or
Tuesday Mr.. Madigan shot into
pocket which, for quality and rich
ness of ore, equals almost any ever
taken from the workings in the
palmy Munholland days of the lease.
The pay streak had been narrowing
somewhat when the find was made,
but now it has come in stronger than
ever and high grade milling ore is
being taken out
William Madigan, owner of the
lease, is an old time Colorado miner
and this recent strike of specimen
ore has not been entirely unexpected
by him. Several sample sacks of the
rich dope were saved out for speci-
mems and the remainder was sacked
and will go in ON the mill run which
will soon be made of ore already on
the dump. OF this there is probably
100 tons of ore on the Madigan
dump that will go better than 500
to the ton.
Supt. Thomas E. McSorley, of the
Daisy company, is now In California
and one of the results of his trip will
undoubtedly be the installing of a
mill at an early date. No company
in the district is better fixed for pat
ting in a mill than the Daisy, they
owning all the water in the district.
And that there is an urgent need for
a mill on their property is an adj
mitted fact. The Madigan lease
alone would produce enough ore to
keep mill going. and with the Solid
Gold lease. of which Cy Johnson is
manager, operating OH the same
ledge as the Madigan there should
be something coming up for the mill
lease is in high grade milling ore and
preparations going forward for ex-
tensive operations on that ground.
Then with the Crescent lease of Cy
Johnson going down with two shifts
of men and a power hoist and the
company doing ditto right alongside
both going after the big ledge and
now in suiphide showing the best in
camp--by all means mill is want

union TAILORS
ARE IN LOCKOUT

LOS ANGELES, Sept 25.-The
MERCHANT tailors of the city, who de-
clared unanimously for an open shop
six months ago. took more drastic ac-
ton and voted to lock out ali union
journeymen. This is the elimination
of the fight long waged between the
employers and the unions, and the
direct result of strike and boycott
year ago. The merchants at that
time were not organized and the
unions attack though directed only
against few, affected them all for
some time. and they determined on
finish fight.
Nov no union man can, as SUCH
work in any tailoring establishment
inILos Angeles The Merchants and
Manufacturers Association took a
hand in behalf of the employers when
the trouble began, and stands back
of them now. The merchant tailors
claim they never were on such pros
porous basis as at present and all
assert they will hold out against the
union. no matter what the cost, but
they believe they have nothing to
fear, as the organization has gradual
~ weakened and is practically with
out funds.

RUSHING WORK
ON WONDER Mines
PROMISE OF A BRILLIANT ri.
TURE FOR HER PROP
ERTIES.

WONDER, Sept. ~ The atten.
ton of the district is now largely
concentrated upon the Nevada Won
der. The surface richness of this
property has played an important
part in attracting. the notice of the
mining world to Wonder, and it is
regarded as representative of the dis
trict, not only by outside observers,
but also by the people here. In less
than month the permanent shaft,
which is now down 425 feet, will
have reached the 5O0-foot Level,
from which point short crosscut
will be run to the ledge. The show
ing on the vein at this depth, which
will be greater than that so far at
tanned by any other company, is re-
garded as indicative of what will be
developed throughout the district
when depth is reached. All of those
interested in Wonder are therefore
awaiting with much interest the pro-
gress of Nevada Wonder work.
That J. B. Daniel, general manag-
er of the Nevada Wonder, and his
Philadelphia and Tonopah associates,
who are among the most expert and
successful mining men in the United
States, firmly believe in the richness
OF their own mine and of the dis
trict, is indicated by the fact that
they have just completed arrange
ments for the installation of an elab-
crate electrical system for bringing
power to Wonder to operate not only
their own machinery but that of
other mines, but also to furnish mo-
tive power for an improved chlorin-
alton process mill
The promise for a brilliant future
for the Nevada Wonder is increased
by the recent showings on the adj
joining Hidden Treasure, where at
depth of 1856 feet, 45-foot ledge
carrying values all the way across
has recently been uncovered. The
work on this property received set
back last week through the breaking
of the gearing on the engine operat-
ing the big hoise, but the machinery
has been repaired and the develop
ment is being pushed with greater
vigor than ever.
A number of the Hidden Treasure
employees took advantage of the lull
in the work last week to hurry to the
scene of new strike about 100
miles due north of Wonder and 40
miles south of Winnemucca. A. j..
Smith, citizen of Wonder, located
there a few weeks ago group of
claims through which runs ledge
which carries average values for
1900 feet on the surface of between
$50 and 500 in gold and silver. Mr..
Smiths report of his find upon his
return to Wonder caused rush from
this camp, and most of the surround
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1907-09-26


Just enough at present to pay the
running expenses OF the mine.
Another property from which ore
is now going out regularly TO the
smelter is the Vulture. which has a
body of ore in the upraise which
averages about $3.50 to the ton.
A group of claims from which the
people of Wonder are expecting big
developments are the Gold Kings.
upon which the original locators are
running a tunnel which is in 275
feet. and which, according to strong
indications. will cut at least five
parallel lodges within the next 100
feet. All of these veins have yield
ed rock on the surface from which
gold paintings have been obtained
valuable gold property will be devel-
oped here. The surrounding prop
critics, among which are the Desert
Wonder, Christmas Wonder and the
Great Eastern, are also looking ex-
tremely we'll The development work
on the latter has been given renewed
vigor this week under the manage
ment OF A. H. Douglas The shaft is
down 100 feet, and prosecuting is
to be started at once toward the
ledge which traverses this section of
the district in an easterly and west
erly direction.
Work will be resumed within a few
days on the Veina Grande, which has
highly promising ledge. On the
Christmas Wonder, where complete
equipment of machinery will be in
stalled, the Joe Wonder, June Won
der, the Rex, and other properties
which have been affected by the sum-
mer lull, work is about to be resum-
ed Persistent work has been done
on the Daisy Wonder and the Mon
nette Wonder, which are controlled
by the Goldfield firm of Davis and
Wheeler On each of these proper
ties hoist is in operations, and on
the Daisy, where the shaft is rapidly
reaching the 30O-foot level, the form
alton is hardening and the moistened
condition of the rock is giving strong
indications of water. The superin-
tendent believes that when this water
is reached, at about 800 feet, body
of sulphide ore will be uncovered.
Prominent operators from New York
and other centers have visited Won
der within the last few days and
those who went out during the heat
ed term are returning daily. Nearly
as strong an inclination is now being
shown on the part of the people here
to buy Wonder stocks as that which
made the local trading notably active
last spring. Never has the confidence
in the district been as strong as it is
at present
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1907-09-26

ing ground over large area has been
located by WOnderites. The new
camp has been named Gold Bank
Owing to its proximity to the main
line of the railroad and the excellent
wagon road to Winnemucca, ore run
ming $50 to the ton will be profitable
for shipment, and it is said that large
quantities of ore carrying even great
er values can be shipped Immediately
from the surface. Murray Scott of
Wonder has general direction of the
ground upon which the original
strike was made. and has announced
that he intends to throw large part
of it open to leasers.
1t is reported that a strike of high
grade ore has been made in the drift
from the inclined shaft of the Spider
Wasp. This shaft has been sunk to a
depth of fifty feet on the hanging
wall of the ledge, which has been
found to have width of ten feet,
with six feet averaging SIS to the
ton. The ore uncovered this week
in the high grade shoot shows values
mounting into the hundreds. The
Spider-Wasp, in addition to the in
cline shaft, has two-compartment
vertical shaft which is down about
175 feet from which crosscuts will
be run at each 100-foot level to at
least 500 feet. There is little doubt
that in addition to great bodies of
milling ore a large quantity of high
grade will be stopped down in these
crosscuts.
A strong indication of the richness
and permanency of the Spider Wasp
ledge is found on the adjacent Lost
Chord ground, where at a depth of
about 100 feet in the Wine, the vein
has been found to have width of at
least 80 feet and carries values as
high as $500 to the ton. The Lost
Chord ground is controlled by Mag
nus Kjelsberg, who made a big for
tune at Nome, but believes that he
will make an even bigger one in the
Wonder district.
The annual meeting of the board
of directors of the Jack Pot Mining
Company was held early this week
in this district Marvin Ish of Gold
field was reelected president of the
company The directorate remains
unchanged except that T. j. Stroud,
the original locator of the Jack Pot,
has been replaced on the board by
f. M. Mcmillan. one of the most ex
pert mining men in the State. The
other directors are NJ. e. Ish, n.
Darcy, j. S. Curtis and w. H. Erb.
There will be no important changes
in the general policy of the company.
New men will be added to the force,
already thirty-five strong, as rapidly
as General Manager Harris can pro-
cure those who commend themselves
to him for competency The work is
now chiefly devoted to the drift on
the 200 and 300 foot levels. On the
former there has been 200 feet of
work completed. and on the latter
about 80 feet. A foot of the vein on
the 30O-foot level carries values as
high as $500 to the ton. Regular
shipments are being made from the
Jack Pot, but the company is by no
means sending out as much ore as
it might, the purpose being to ship
