GOLDFIELD CONS
SECOND DIVIDEND
MEETING OF THE DIRECTORS
AT GOLDFIELD ON
FRIDAY.

RENO, Oct. 22.-tNotices are now
being mailed to the directors Of Gold
field Consolidated calling a meeting
for next Friday in %Goldfeld,' said
Senator Nixon this morning to a Reno
Gazette reporter, tand at that meet
ing the second dividend of ten cents
a share will be declared.
The mine is looking better than
ever before. The production for Oc-
tober will probably be heavier than
any other month since the merger
was formed. Many reasons explain
the present low price of the stock,
but no one need worry about the
mine. We have a property there that
will add greatly to the wealth Of the
world for many years to ONE The
future will prove this"
Asked about the talk heard here
and there that hard times threaten,
the senator said:
Just that talk, talk of crisis, talk
of panic, is doing more than anything
else to create fear. The country il
as good as it al twelve months ago;
its wealth is as great; its develop.
ment is going on with tremendous
strides. On dark nights boys walk
ing through a wood keep increasins
their pace, until they have so fright
ened themselves that they are sool
running as fast as they can. So witt
people talking hard times; they be
gin in a low key, but the volume 0
their voices increases until, one day
hard times are here. They hav
created them themselves.
Don't talk hard times. Loo
about you and see the big thing
that are being done; look at the woi
derful wealth of the country. Let
be sane about it, and hard times wi
!. not come"

THE MAN


When a man marries,
Trouble begins;
B~uttoning waists,
And putting in pins.
Looking at bonnets
To see if they're straight;
Ready to start,
Then having to wait.
Hunting for robbers,
Under each bed;
Reused in the night,
For a blanket to spread,
When the rain comes,
Though you're raped in repose,
Reused with a shout,
All the windows to close.
Summoned at morn,
to start up the fire,
Get in the milk,
In your scanty attire.
Run to the store
For the food you would eat;
Get in the ice
Ere it melts in the street.
Hurry to work,
Hurry back with your pay
When a man marries,
So passes a day.

ROLLING TAMPER.
Curious Machine For Preparing a
Road For Oil.

Curious Machine For Preparing q
Road For OIL.
A new and curious kind OF roller or
'rolling tamper" has been devised for
use with a type Of road invented and
used in California, This road has been
called, from the place where II origi-
mated, the Santa Monica system and is
little more than an oiled road in which
the oil is caused TO penetrate deeply in
stead of being merely spread over the
top. The top soil is loosened to a
depth of several inches, so that the oil
when applied may penetrate for quite
distance below the surface. The
earth thus oiled is then rolled and
thoroughly compacted and practically
forms an inferior kind of asphalt paw.

From the circumference OF large
roller project considerable number
of tamping points, and the effect OF
this Is 10 compact the soil from the
bottom upward. these points sinking
into the depth of the loosened earth
and rising nearer and nearer TO the
surface as the bottom layers become
contracted, until finally the tamping
point sinks but a little distance into
the surface OF the roadway, says the
Municipal Journal and Engineer In
using this method Of road construction
the earth is plowed to depth OF about
six inches and is properly surfaced
with road machine, the clods or
Jumps having first been broken M
with harrow or similar machine
Asphaltic oil is then spriukled over
the roadway, the endeavoS being to
give about one gallon OF Sn 10 each
square yard, and the oil and earth are
then thoroughly mixed by a cultIvator
after which the roller tamplng begins.

Being on the 235-foot level this

time to come. The Importance of
this strike was shown by the numer-

soon as it was made known in camp.
This stock will doubtless go soaring

sisted of ]. L. Romer, for the West

lected Governor John Sparks as third
man.
The Western Pacific runs across
$50 m les Of the Southern Pacific
land grant in that State. entering on
the land just west of the Utah line,
and leaving il thirty-five miles west

ing a valuation on the land was easy
compared to that of deciding upon
what should be done where the two
railroads would be close together.
There were several points where
there would have to be crossings OF
the tracks, unless the Western Pa
cific was allowed the right of way
grant of the Southern Pacific, which
is strip of land extending 200 feet
each side of the Southern Pacific
track.
1t was decided to allow the West
ern Pacific company to construct its
road parallel with the Southern Pa.
cific road. and in some places the
two lines will be fifteen feet apar,
for several miles. All crossings were
cut out but one. and that will be an

the late strike of ore of sensational

this town bids fair to be among the
largest in the district. 1t is eight

the district and already has number
of mines and leases sacking ore ready
for shipment.

Aura King mines and three.quarters
Of mile from Aura, in the richest
mineral belt in the State, Northern

The ore is antimonial silver, OF
what the old miners call black metal
The ledge is from FIVE to six feet
wide and an average of the ore a.
cross the vein is $672.l6 in gold and
silver per ton. The vein has beer
stripped for sixty feet along the
groupings. One hundred sacks oil
the ore have been taken out and are
ready for market. Four men car
break twenty tons of the ore as il
now stands. The vein is a contac,
assure and it is well defined. The
foot wall appears to be limestone
or lime shale and the hanging wall is
porphyry. A granite dyke seems tn
run parallel with the vein.
Mr.. Green, the discoverer of this
fortune, was out fishing when he dis
covered the landslide and upon closer
examination found the rich ore. We
take off our hats to the new discov.
