Bryan will get more votes than he
has ever gotten before, and this re-
minds us that he doesn't need so
many more to be elected.

ANOTHER CALHOUN TRAGEDY
Mystery Surrounds the Killing of q
Young Boy Near Morgan. Did
He Commit Suicide?

E1t SOkAIIuAO
A few afternoons ago Lowell Nc
Daniel, a young white boy thirteen
years of age and son OF R. K. Nc
Daniel of near Morgan, was mysteri-
Ously shot and killed.
The family were shocked when
Boisie Madison, a negro who was
working in the field with young Nc
Daniel, reported to them that white
boy had murdered him. 1But later,
after being questioned, the negro
claimed that the boy committed sui
eide, and before shooting himself
made him promise to hide the pistol
and not tell his father how it hap
pened: The negro is about 18 years
Of age. He has told other tales
about the tragedy, and that they all
conflict makes it difficult of solution.
1t is believed that the boy either
committed suicide, accidentally shot
himself or that the negro murdered
him.
The News learns that at a coro-
ner's inquest finger marks were
found on the boys throat, and the
negro has been placed in jail at Nor
gan to answer to the charge of MUIR
der.
Mr.. R. E. Mcdaniel, father of the
dead boy, is a well known and pros

EXTRA DIVIDEND

Philadelphia reports which apparent
ly are from the top source of informa-
ton relative to Tonopah Mining com
pany affairs, have it that the big com
pany will resume it's extra dividends OF
10 per cent next quarter. That will
make 35 per cent, which is the same as
the company paid for a considerable
time.
There is in the treasury of the COM
pany at the present time more than
double the amount of cash to pay the
recently declared dividend of 25 cents
a share. Had the directors deemed it
prudent, they could just as easily nave
restored to the stock the old ratio OF
25 cents and 10 cents extra as to have
declared the dividend they did. 1t is
altogether probable that the extra divl-
dend will be restored at the next divi-
dend period.

Operations were resumed in the Gold
Hill mines under the control Of the
Sharon estate this week with a force
as large as the n employed before the
shutdown. An erroneous report
gained circulation that the mines woult
be closed for an indefinite period,
whereas it was -caused by the necessity
of repairs to the machinery at the Over
man, through which shaft all the work
in the s~outh-end group is being done.
Work is going on full blast at the Vel
low Jacket and from this time forward
there will be no occasion for a suspen-
sion of operations at the mill. The
raise recently completed from the LOO
to 1000 level will greatly facilitate the
extraction of ore, and the output will
be much greater.

DEEP MINING

There are n or two instances of cop
per mining at a depth of about a mile
$3.50 feet. Calumet & Hecla has at
tanned that depth and Butte will reach
it before long. A geologist said in my
Office not long ago that the temperature
conditions at Yerington would admit of
working at a depth of a mile, or even
more, underground, Notwithstanding the
internal heat at half that distance is
very severe in the Comstock, some 4O
miles to the north. The possibilities
and limitations of deep mining are
shown in the fact that the deepest hole
over bored in the world is said to be
only 1000 feet deep, passing through
So beds Of coal. 1t is located in Silesia,
a Phussian province. -orem's Weekly.

GREAT COPPER DISTRICT

One of the greatest copper fields in
the world will be in evidence in a year
or two in that immense district Of
which Yerington seems to be the center.
The copper belt has been traced into
this county for a score of miles south of
Luning and Nina. Wherever work has
been done ore running from 2 to as high
as 20 per cent in copper and a few dol
lars in gold and silver, has been found.
1t is of better grade than what IS
mined 1T Butte. Around Yerington
high grade copper ore has been mined
Fer twenty years. There was nothing
sensational about the values, but the
immense strike made a few weeks ago
on the Mason Valley Copper Mining
eompany's ground is hound to attract
the attention of the entire mining worll
on account of its immensity.

C. w. Kinney came in from Alpine
Tuesday, whittier he had gone with a
Rodgers of Salt Lake, an expert in
the employ of f. L. White, of Boston,
to pass on the Shoshone group of live
mineral claims. This property was
worked twenty years ago and ore
shipped from it to Virginia City for
milling. Since those days new owners
have ran a 300-foot tunnel and assays
have been obtained all the way from
SO to 81 1000 to the ton, from the differ
emit lodges. 1t is expected that on
Messrs. Rodgers and Kinney's report
will hinge the transfer of the property
to eastern parties. In fact, it can be
stated that the report will be favorable.
