REDMoNr COMPANY
IN SILVER PEAK

Newton J. Tharp, president of the
Redmont Mining company, returned to
Goldheld last week after an inspection
Of the properties in the Silver Peak dis
trict in which he is interested. Mr..
Tharp says a great deal of work is be-
ing one in the district which is enjoy
ing a greater degree of prosperity than
for several years past.
On the Arcadia group a hoist has
been installed, the shaft retimbered
J. Scranton. consulting engineer for
the company was recently on the ground
and laid out the campaign of develop
ment.
Mr.. Tharp says that Aubury Price of
the Golden Silver Peak, has recently
made a discovery of silver ore that
promises to develop into an extremely
valuable find. Values ranging from
1000 to 5000 ounces have been obtained
at frequent intervals from an eight-inch
streak in the ledge. Tonopah capital
lists have had representatives on the
ground ~endeavoring to secure an option
on the property. Price says the prop
erty is for sale to the first man that
comes to him with the price. The find
is on the northwest slope of Fesler
mountain, about six miles north of
Oasis. In the same vicinity the Croker
brothers are sacking ore that runs as
high as $50 ounces of silver and some
gold. They will send out thirty tons
of ore as soon as they can obtain means
of transporting it.
A number Of properties have changed
hands in the district within the last
few weeks and many newcomers have
arrived in the camp.

The Brown Palace is pushing work
on both tunnels and the shaft. No
further Developments of Importance are
expected until the crosscut tunnel
reaches the big ledge. exposed in the
surface trenching on h apex of the
ridge. The tunnel should tap the ledge
within 100 feet.
The shaft on the Bard. Nun and
Weaver lease on the Brown Palace No.
8 is dow 40 feet. C~rosscutting for the
ledge will begin at the 75-foot point.
On the Lookout claim OF the Rather
a tunnel is being driven under the big
groupings to catch the rich ore shoot
recently exposed on the surface.
The crosscut to the vein on the White
Alps has advanced 25 feet from the bot
tom of the 50-foot shaft. 1t is ex-
pected that the ledge will be cut in a
few days.
The Dreamland Is pushing work in the
east drift on The ledge and the cross
cut north from this drift. The main
ledge has been opened up In trenches
about 200 feet west of the shaft. Some
fine specimens of horn silver AVE been
counter in the east drift.
The Dreamland has uncovered a blind
ledge. running about 500 feet above
the main Dreamland vein. The char
acter of the quartz in both lodges is the
same but the assays have not been made
public.
Active development work is progress
ing on the Florence group on which a
vein of $4,000 ore was recently discov-
cred. The vein Is widening with depth.
-------.--
Several important strikes have been
made in the Bellehelen district in the
last ten days. On the Lawrance group,
a well defined ledge of solid quartz was
opened up at a depth of eight feet from
high as IS, 200 a ton.
Another strike on the Nellie BLY, is
reported not far from the st. Elmo
ledge. The new find was made in the
wash about ESQ feet northeast from an
open cut made early last week that
produced ore assaying ss6.15. The ledge
just uncovered is six feet wide and
pans better than 800.
On the Original Horseshoe group ac-
tive development work continues. New
machinery will be installed on the
property.
The Nevada Smelling and Mines cor
poration, controlled by Charles NJ.
Schwab, is making preparations to erect
a mill which 1t is expected will be run

FArRvIEw LOOKS GOOD
TO 0oLDFIELD PEOPLE

E. c.. Watson. of the firm of Watson
the Fairview district the first of the
week. Mr.. Watson left here on April
10. accompanied by Charles ]. Moore
the well known mining engineer. for the
purpose of inspecting a group of claims
purchased by Watson & Van Dyke when
Fairview was first brought before the
public eye. nearly a year ago. The
group which is known as the Berlin. in
cludes twelve full claims lying a short
distance east of the Dromedary Hcmp
mine. Messrs. Watson and Moore made
a thorough examination of the property,
with the result that upon his return to
Goldheld. purchased the third interest
that was owned by ]. Y. Kessler of
Spokane, Wash. so that they are now
sole owners of the group. There are
several fine looking lodges on the ground
and surface assays run as high as
s39.s3. A company will be incorporated
to develop the property.
Mr.. Watson visited all the big mines
in the Fairview district and he says
they are all looking fine and working
large forces of men. The Nevada Hills
mine was thoroughly explored from top
to bottom. Messrs. Watson and Moore
being taken through the workings by
General Superintendent webber. They
were amazed at the amount Of work
tina has been lone and the vast size of
the lodges. They were shown 5000
sacks of ore which Mr.. Weber told
them had been taken out in development
work alone. Ore is being shipped from
the mine as fast as teams can be pro-
cured but the management is greatly
handicapped by the lack Of ~transporta-
ton facilities.

WHY TOAST is WHOLESOME.

"Did you ever wonder why toast
is always recommended for inva-
lids?" said chemist. "The reason
is that toast is pre-digested bread.
"What makes fresh bread trying
for invalids is the starch in it.
"Starch is very hard to digest. II
needs good stomach to take hold
of the soggy starch in bread and
change it to strengthening, stirnu-
lating dextrine.
"But when you cut bread thin
and toast it brown the fire itself
changes the starch to dextrine.
That, in fact, is what the brown
color in toast indicates-that the
starch is gone, and dextrine has
taken its place. The stuff is pre-di-
gested.
$50 we fed our invalids on toast,
dish as thoroughly predigested as
any of the most famous breakfast
foods"

THE GOOD coNvERsArIoNALIsT.

To be a good conversationalist
you must be spontaneous, buoyant,

must feel the spirit of helpfulness,

You must get the attention of peo-
pie and hold it by interesting them,
and you can only interest them by
warm sympathy-a real, friendly
sympathy. If you are cold, dis
tant and unsympathetic, you cannot
get their attention.

THE HABIT OF WORN.

If one were advising members of
the literary craft, who usually feel
that they have a right to lean upon
the promptings of inclination, one
would say: Write every day from
ten to one; and once the habit is
formed of so doing, the thought will
answer the daily summons at the
given hour; ideas are amenable to
habit, like most forces. The
writer must tackle his task at a
given time, just as the musician
practises daily, or the child shoul-
ders his books and marches into
school, never asking if that is the
psychological moment of illumina-
ton, only if it is the hour when
the school bell rings So for most
of the worlds work the great point
is not to postpone and do something
else, which one fondly persuades
oneself is preparatory to the work,
but to begin promptly on the mo-
ment with such facilities and abil-
tiles as one can muster. Launch
yourself with as strong and decided
an initiative as possible" realizing
that only so can you put yourself to
the test and succeed or fail
