SAYS YERINGTON
IS MOVING ALONG
C. ID. ROOKLIDGE, MINING MAN
OF SALT LAKE, is IN
TONOPAH.

Charles D. Rooklidge of Salt Lake
is here with a party who left the Nor
mon city on Wednesday last, and
came through direct to Tonopah. Mr.
Rooklidge and his associates are
deeply interested in the southern
country, in fact have interests in
many sections of the State. They
are interested in Rosebud and in
Y%erington.
"Yerington," said Mr.. Rooklidge,
has all the earmarks of being a
great camp, and under the conditions
it is moving along very fast. There
are several properties there which
a be classed as mines, and every
once in a while a very good mine Is
developed. The putting in of a smell
ter, of which there has been some
talk, depends largely upon whether
HeinZe takes over the Bluestone. The
location of the town will remain un-
decided until the survey of the rail-
road coming from Wabusco is COM
pleted.
Outside the copper district there
is a good gold belt which will be
heard from. The Wheeler mine will
have it's mill running in a few days.
1t comprises five stamps at present,
but there will be five stamps added
as soon as possible. We have been
working on the mine since a ear ago
last June. There is considerable ore
which is high grade, averaging $50
a ton. The Rocklin is another prop
erty from which they are getting fine
gold values, and they are also con-
structing a mill. Besides these two
mines there are other properties
which are showing up mighty well.
las far as a copper camp, Yerring-
ton is going to be one of the greatest
in the State. The zone area may not
be as extensive as that of Ely, but
the ore is of a much higher grade,
and they have, in addition, all the
water that is needed and every other
facility to make of it an ideal camp.
with regard to Rosebud, the
Brown Palace, Parkhurst and Mac
donald's property is shipping ore, and
there are others which will soon be
following suit. The Dreamland has
followed its vein for a hundred feet
and it is getting richer and bigger as
it goes down. A Colorado crowd re-
Gently made a big strike adjoining
the Bully Boy ground, and the best
OF reports come from the Big Six.
The camp, generally, is doing very
well, and is remarkably active"

BIG COPPER STRIKE.

Percy d. Delmas of Salt Lake has
what he declares to be the biggest
and richest copper proposition in the
state of Nevada for the amount of
development work done. He was here
@ few weeks ago getting material and
supplies to take out to camp with
him, but at that time he was unwill-
ing to say anything about the prop
erty, as he wanted to do some more
work first. His property is located
at the head of Lee Canyon, in Elko
county, not far from the line divid-
ing that county from Eureka county
and east of Evans station on the
Eureka and Palisade railroad, which
is something like twenty miles south
Of Palisade, OF the Southern Pacific.

JoHNsoN's "oNLY WOMAN"

The Los Angeles Express fills half
a column of a recent issue with an
interview with Scotty's partner, John
son, in which he solemnly declares
that Mrs Johnson is the only wo-
mar who ever crossed Death v~alley!"
and to assist her in that miraculous
feat, he, (the wonderful Johnson)
carried her in his arms eight miles
after she became unconscious from
heat ~prostration!"
The striking thing about the fore
going is that a paper could be found
that would give space to such absurd
utterances without putting them in
the joke column. Skidoo has a whole
town full of women who have crossed
and recrossed Death valley many
times, in autos, by stage, on freight
wagons and even on foot, without
considering themselves in line for 4

WOMAN SELLS CLAIMS.

Mrs. Bessie Miller has disposed of
a part of her holdings at Gold Lake,
sixteen miles northwest of Goldheld,
to an Eastern corporation. Details re-
garding the deal have been suppress

that the price was in the neighbor-
hood of $250,0OO, $4,000 of this
amount being paid down.
The Eastern investors bought the
ground after the United States gov

BIG WALL Street
BROKER IS HERE
ID. c. CATLIN SAYS TONOPAHS
ARE VERY POPULAR IN
. THE EAST.

d. C. Catlin, of the firm of Catlin
& Powell, Mills Building, Wall street,
New York, was an arrival in the city
yesterday, coming here from Gold
field. Mr.. Catlin's firm has been
handling the securities of southern
Nevada for several years, but this is
the first time that one of the firm
has been in this section of the coun-
try. He has been swinging around
the circle, having taken in the mines
of Bullfrog and Goldfeld, and yes
terday he was down in the Midway,
and last night in the Montana Tono-
pah. Today he will take in the West
End and the Tonopah Extension.
From here he goes to Yerington, the
copper country, and from there 20
Fairview.
II had long desired to see this
country" said Mr.. Catlin, "and like
everybody else who has delayed the
trip, | regret that / did not come
before. 1t has been a very interest
ing trip to me, indeed, and after Wis
iting the mines As I have, | find little
wonder that the people was as mad
as they did over the stocks. l went
through the upper levels of the Mid
way this afternoon and there is a
mine to excite admiration. | was
down as far only as the 535 level,
and in the intermediary level between
the fourth and the fifth. l saw some
very fine milling ore and some beau
tiful high grade.
!. "Tonopah is a very popular camp
in the East, and the Eastern people
have not lost anything through it.
You had some wildcats here, but that
was in the old days, and n can
never tell what a wildcat is until it
is proven. Some of the Eastern peo-
pie are sore at Tonopah Extension,
for the ann in which it was man
ipulated when the dacite intrusion
occurred. 1t was thought that the
should have been disseminated
among all the stockholders, instead
OF being confined to the insiders.
Il look for a good movement in
the East this year with regard to the
of southern Nevada, and par
ticularly those of Goldfeld, but there
will be nothing like the excitement
that there was last year. The East
feels kindly toward Nevada and there
Is going to be big business. Tono-
pah is attracting a good deal of at
tention for the reason that there is a
great deal of interest in the work 60
ing on under the dacite intrusion.
And If ore should be found in the
lower levels, there is no telling to
what limit the stocks will go. 1t
would be like the discovery of a new
camp. You could not keep the in
vestors away from here. The mines
Tonopah are well developed, but
discover ore at greater depth
make of it a wonderful camp,
and give 1t a fresh impetus the like
Of which has w been seen before.
And there is a great probability of
the ore being found"

THE BREYFOGLE.

AS depth is reached in the Brey-
fogle shaft naturalization is becom-
ing more pronounced and any shot
may open up n of the richest ore
bodies in the camp. The bottom OF
the shaft is filled with stringers car
cying good milling values. They
show the presence of free gold and
oot a little sulphides. The Breyfogle
showing is all that can be hoped for
and in our opinion the people will
not have to wait long TO see the open
ing up of a second Thanksgiving

FREDA.

Life doesn't seem the same to us
Since Freda went away,
We talk about it every night
And also every day.
The kitchen seems a cheerless place:
We hate to turn the knob
And look into that lonesome waste,
Since Freda yoomped her yob.
We miss our Freda dreadfully,
In fact for her we pine.
Her English was distressing, but
Her breakfast rolls were fine,
And now we sit and think of her.
And in our throats a sob
OF sorrow rises at the thought
That Freda yoomped her yob.
She won't come back. She's married
now.
She thinks she's better off.
Perhaps she is-at any rate,
1t does no good to scott.
But every time We think of her
Our sad hearts give a throb.
1t makes a difference in our house
Since Freda yoomped her yob.

CONGRESS MAY SHAKE
UP THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC

1t has, they say, been multiplying the
state laws in two ways. The offense
OF which most complaint is made is
that of permitting the shipment of
liquor in unbroken packages from one
state in the dry" territory of an
other state.
1t is also asserted that the federal
government is directly antagonizing
states by licensing the sale of liquor
in territory that has been made dry"
under state laws. In it's anxiety to
swell it's internal revenue receipts, it
is alleged, the government, through
its internal revenue department, is
constantly recognizing the lawless
liquor element by issuing government
licenses.
The fight of the session will center
around the bill giving state control of
Interstate shipments Of liquor into
dry territory when they reach the
state border, but the temperance
forces may 60 further and demand
that the federal governments internal
revenue department shall not issue a
government license to any person who
has not first complied with all the re-.
Quirements OF the state law governing
the sale Of intoxicating liquors. The
movement. in short, is to bring the
federal government to tho support OF
the states in the effort that is being
made everywhere for the better regu
lation and control Of the liquor traffic

HE other day one Of the well-known

died. He had been a telegraph op.
orator before he was appointed to his
clerkship and had worked in the tele-
graph division in the war department
for some years. When his fellow cp-

termined to send floral tribute, and
q collection was taken up and order
given to the florist to make large pill

the figures 49," which in telegraph

of the figures "73" there, in red i'm.

HOW POSlES ARE FAXED.
All Sort of Tricks Played on Unsus-
pecting Customers.

The gentle art of taking" flowers is
f1ourishing exceedingly, and one may
purchase at many of the florists
shops green carnations and lilies of
the valley. White flowers readily alb
sorb the dye, and so perfectly natural
are the green tints that only an ex-
pert we'll versed in the natural colors
of flowers could possibly detect the
deception.
The flowers are cut just before they
are fully developed, and their stalks
are then placed in a solution of ami
line dye.
Flowers so treated readily absorb
the solution, and pass it upward into
the cells of the petals, thus convert
ing the neutral white surface into q
green tint.
Scarlet and green shades of color
seem 50 far to be the most popular

AIDS AT WHITE HOUSE

I T his own request, it is said, Lieut..

house and returned to active service
In his regiment, cs he is DESTROYS of
working out his future in the army

ness at Washington.
Lieut.. Sheridan was one Of the
most popular aids at the white house
during the last Two seasons, and it
was understood among his many
friends that he would be enabled to
retain the choice social position
throughout the coming season. Re-
Gently, however, it developed that
pressure was being brought by friends
OF other young officers to land the

is thought possible that the president
may have decided upon a change in
order to give others an opportunity
to shine at the executive mansion. In
this connection it is now rumored that
