ARE YOU GOING HOME ?

(By Hugh J. Hughes.)
Are you going back for Christmas to
the valley whore the stars
Rlse clear above the mountains.
crowned with timber lattice
So. bars;
Where the farmsteads nestle closely
up against the hills ascent,
Ana the brook creeps hither---thither
In Its maze Of wilderment?
Are you Boing home for Christmas
to the old house by the tree:
To the old folks waiting-waiting-
=. through the many years that he.
To the faces and the memories and
phantoms that recall
ihe music of the summers before
you left 1t all?
Ihe eyes are growing DINNER that
look down the valley side,
EVermore watching--watching
for swinging boyish stride;
The hair Is growing winter and the
face thin and drawn
OF those who mid the twilight stand
waiting for the dawn.
Lock. up the shop-the office! Go
back your thousand ways
Along the lines of living to boy
hoods dawning days! -
Go set the old home ringing with
laughter's music bars,
And find your lost youth waiting in
the valley meath the stars.

Panic Proof.

Financial panics may come in all
their force, destruction and woe,
Sleet, snow, winter rains and fierce
may blow,
But the farmer who grows his
farm supplies at home, can sit still,
live off of his homemade supplies
whilst he may wait for these pesti-
lential storms tospass away without
even entering his gate. gs /.
Credit is something like an edged
tool. If you use 1t too much in
rough places it will become dull.
Low priced cotton and high priced
fertilizer notes, corn, -four, bacon
and other bills are rough things to
think aboutasfn this connection.
Cheer up, farmers, oil you that
are feeling blue, just go and call on
some real good farmer who has plen-
ty OF home grown supplies at his
house and watch him go right along,
working, eating, feeding his animals
on home stuff and attending to his
own affairs just the same as If O.
New York panic had not come to
pass.
That is the kind of farmer that is
worthy of the name, Independent

WONDER LEASERS ARE
DOING GOOD WORK

IL the thing that holds the permanent
interest of the residents of Wonder, de-
spite the various furries caused by the
assay returns from the leasers- These
four properties are easily frst in the af-
f~ections of the camp aud with the Colo
radios. the Roslyn, the National Globe
and Hercules are looked for to hold
wonders reputation in the forefront as
a producing district. On both the Ruby
and the Jack Pot the ore II sacked with
out sorting. This is also true of the
Nevada Wonder. and pm h Toohey
lease of the Spider Wasp. SO little sort
ing Is needed that II is practically i'm
material. The other six leasers on the
Spider Wasp are putting forth every
EFFORT to match their famous ~neighbors.
In addition, Superintendent johnson Is
rushing work on the permanent shaft
being sunk by the Spider Wasp owners.
This il now down 135 feet IN the work
of prosecuting at the station on the
1oo-foot level is being carried on night
and day. On his return from his recent
visit to Tonopah and Reno. Mr.. johnson
announced that IT Is the intention of
the management to continue h work
on the shaft without let up till II has
reached a depth Of 500 feet. Crosscuts
will be made at regular intervals. and
the work of blocking out the ore will
continue throughout the entire time OF
the sinking Of the shaft. So far the
leasers have encountered a uniform Wild
ening Of the vein with depth on the
Spider Wasp. and the owners are n
ident that this uniformity will be main
tanned throughout, which II later devel-
opments prove to be true, with the in
creasing richness heretofore evident
also maintained. there IL no reason to
doubt the word of the mining engineers
who assert that the Spider Wasp will
make one of the great mines of Nevada.
This widening Of the vein and uni
form increase Of values with develop
ment work Is peculiar to Wonder. 1t
has been forcibly exemplifed recently
on the Jack Pot and the Ruby. where
the pay streaks more than doubled In
width and values. For a time II seemed
to Superintendent Harris of the Jack
Pot that the pay streak was becoming
merged with the low grade. This was
especially emphasized after the redis-
covery Of the lead. which faulted. About
four weeks ago q change for the better
was evident. Assays showed That the
relative values had increased about rs
per cent and hat the pay streak had
widened to approximately AZ inches.
Two carloads Of 80 tons each were
shipped after 20 days Of actual work;
at the same time o a half dozen
samples Of rock. the smallest weighing
no less than a pound we're taken out and
exhibited. They were declared to be the
richest ore yet uncovered in the Wonder
district. Because of these samples a
number of Wonder residents assert that
the management OF the Jack Pot Is TAX
ing out a lot of high grade ore that IL
not being sent out for treatment at this
time, owing to the dissatisfaction over
the methods employed by the railroads
to determine freight charges.

Mr.. Paul is making his headquarters at

get business for his company and will
canvas the entire state with that object
in view.
we propose to sell through passenger
tickets to the east at all the Offices of
the Las Vegas and Tonopah and Tono-
pah and Goldneld roads in Nevada" said
Mr.. Paul. I'VE shall also make arrange
ments to ship merchandise and mining
machinery direct from the east to Gold
field and other Nevada mining camps,
over the Southern and Union Pacific or
the Salt Lake and Las Vegas and Tono-
pah roads. The two former roads are
congested by heavy traffic and we know
that we can greatly facilitate the ship
ment of supplies by our line. We are
here for business because we know that
Nevada has a great amount of business
that we can care for better than it Is
being cared for at the present time. We
shall work with both the northern and
southern roads and we are satisfied that
we shall be able to give the people a
much better service than they are at
present enjoying.

WALTER G. o1EN

walter c. Orem, general manager OF
the Nevada Douglas, has resigned as
general manager of the Utah Apex Min
ing company to give his entire attention
to his Yerington interests. The sever
ance of Mr.. Orem's relations with the
Utah company Is due In no sense to any
friction with his associates, but to MS
desire to devote himself more fully to
the management of the Y~erington prop
| critics with which he is identified, In
which he believes his biggest and most
ambitious life work lies. In a letter
written to London stockholders, he has
words Of the greatest praise for the
Nevada-Douglas Among other things
he says: We now ave our equipment
in shape so we can give our energies
largely to mining and development, and
/ expect to put as much ore In light
that can be measured with a tape within
the next six months as Is to be found in
any other property in western Nevada
We will have blocked out in sixty days
time a half million dollars worth Of
new shipping ore. . : .. I thank you
for your congratulations in letter Of the

made a great hit in acquiring the Lud-
wig. I know of no other property in the
west that is shipping the amount OF
high grade ore that the Nevada Douglas
is now shipping and can ship. :.

owned by Judge Ross six months before
they were able to secure a lease. hey

one capable OF judging. about q tenth OF
its value. The values found by Messrs.
Coyle and Lane persist with develop
