CFrom the Miner.)

(From the Miner.)
The ore shipments over the Tonopah
and Goldfeld railroad for the week to
the Western Ore Purchasing
consisted of $50 tons from the Tonopah
Extension.
The Tonopah company sent $500 tons,
the Belmont company $50 TONS, the
Montana Tonopah l,IO0 tons, the Mid
way 100 tons, the MaeNamara 200 ton
West End los tons, and the North Star
so tons to the mills, making the total
shipments for the week $685. tons.
The total output of the Tonopah
mines was 6,065 tons, of an estimated
value (the shipping ore being valued at
$50 a ton and the milling ore at $25 a
ton) of $l56,175.
Suit Settled
All differences between the West End
Consolidated and MacNamara Mining
companies have been settled out of
court. Each company agrees to respect
vertical boundaries and mine and ex-
tract ore within these lines, ~relinquish-
ing any possible extra lateral rights.
The pending suit will be dismissed and
the injunction against the MacNamara
will be dissolved Immediately. The
settlement includes the issuance to the
West End Consolidated of new Ger
t~ifieates for the MaeNamara stock de
stroyed by the earthquake fire in San
Francisco, which will amount to about
10000 shares. As soon as possible tn,
force in the MaeNamara will be in
creased and work on the immense ore
bodies in the eastern portion OF its
property will be pushed. The Miner
was the first to receive definite news
of the settlement, and had an extra on
the street last night within 30 minutes
from the time the telegram was re-
ceived.
Tonopah Company
Though we do not go into details re-
garding the work in progress in the
Tonopah Mining company's property. a
good deal of prospecting and new work
is being done, besides the development
of known veins ON the several Levels.
This is an immense proposition, and to
follow the miners each week in all the
workings would require from two to
three columns every issue. An idea of
the way the management is going after
the ore ear be formed, however, from
the fact that 1879 feet of new ..ound
was broken in the Silver Top claim this
week and 1871 in the Mizpah claim, max
ing a total of $50 feet of new work
done. Throughout the many workings
of the mine the ore bodies being de
veloped show no sign of diminishing,
and notwithstanding the heavy Train
of over 5000 tons of ore a week, the
mine is looking better than ever.
Belmont
The news this week from the Belmont
mine is most gratifying to the manage

bodies for the past two weeks, and it is
estimated that it will take about four
more weeks to complete the sampling
and measuring of the ore bodies on the
different levels. Another assistant is
expected daily to aid in gathering the
material for the Independent report to
be made to the stockholders.
MacNamara
Operations in the MacNamara have
been restricted to a block of ground less
than 200 feet long, and all work mas
been done from one level-the 300-foot
yet an average of three cars of ore of
so tons zach has been sent out weekly
from this small area for some time, and
this week the announcement is made
that the shipments will consist of a ear
load every two days, four carloads has-
ing been sent out within the past sever
days. If a production like this does not
warrant the present price of the stock
on real merit, there are very few prop
critics in the country worthy the name
of a mine. Notwithstanding this heavy
tonnage from so small a portion of theis
territory, the ore bodies in the slopes
continue to expose a face of ore IS
strong as ever. The slopes from the
west drift above the 300-foot level are
being carried up for a length of over
80 feet, the backs showing an average
of from 3 to 4 feet all along, with =
breast of fully Z feet of ore exposed in
the east end of the stope. The east and
west Slopes from the bottom of the 30
foot winze from the 300-foot level both
show an average of 3 feet of fine ore,
with the same grade continuing in both
ends. Besides being sent up these
slopes are being carried along east and
west, and are all in ore of very good
grade. Some important work is being
done not far from the slopes, which
gives every promise of opening up an
other good body of ore before many
days have passed.
Montana
While there is nothing of a sensation
al nature to report this week from the
Montana onopah mine, the regular
work in the property is progressing
very thoroughly, showing the ore bodies
to be maintaining their average width
and values. Development and pros
pecting work is going on on all levels,
and each week new territory is being
penetrated with very satisfactory re-
suits. At the mill everything is IN
ming along in a steady groove. The 40
stamps have been dropping steadily all
week, crushing about LOO tons of ore,
the extraction being about 90 per cent.
The report for the past week, which in
cluded the shut down for three days,
shows that 81 feet of new ground was
broken, nearly all of which was pros
pecting work.

Our shaft is now down to a depth Of 100 feet,
and prosecuting will commence Immediately. When
we get into the ore we will need a hoist, for we pro-
pose to use every hour Of the life Of this lease to the
best advantage. We want to have that hoist up and
running when we strike the ore, and for that reason we
offer to sell $4,000 shares Of the treasury stock, the FIRST
offering and, we believe, the last that will be made, at
10 cents per share.
Leasers have paid the big profits in Gold6eld-they
will pay the big profits in Hornslver. Now is the
accepted time.

The directors Of the HORNSlLVER MIN
AND LEASING SYNDICATE have refused an
application from Lester Laird, an experienced leaser, tor
a suitcase on a block Of ground 100 feet square. The
applicant did a little digging In a prospect shaft IN which
the syndicate had opened up FIVE inches OF good ore.
The result was ore that carries several hundred ounces
of silver to the ton.
The application was refused because within thirty
DAYS the syndicate will have opened that ore shoot at
a depth Of 100 feet, through a cross-cut from the man
shaft. and expects to immediately commence shipping.

Peppermint and Tobacco.

If you have a boy who has begun
smoking too early and whom you wish
TO cure of the habit, feed him pepper
minis. Dr. o. Clayton Jones of Silver
ton. England. writing in the London
Lancet is authority for this simple
cure DR.. Jones writes: ITO break the
smoking habit in youth there is moth
ing better than peppermint drops He
cannot smoke with 'bullseye' in his
mouth, and even for some time after
II is dissolved tobacco will not blend
kindly with the taste that remains.
Socially the cure may seem worse than
the disease, but from medical point
Of view the sucking Of peppermints Is
far less hurtful. A common 'bullseye'
will prevent smoking for nearly an
bour. 50 the amount of sweets used
need not be great"

The Star Arcturus.

1t Is probable that the star Arcturus
Is one Of the six greatest Of all the
stars in the sky. Notwithstanding its
brightness, 1t is 80 far away from us
that 1t Is not displaced in position in
the slightest measurable degree, as
we change our position 1S6,0o00op
miles In our annual journey around
the sun. Could we be placed midway
between Arcturus and our sun we
would receive thousands Of times more
light and heat from the star than from
our sun, and this Notwithstanding that
the stars radiation is smothered by
dense blanket Of metallic vapors. IN
spite Of It's immense distance the star
Is drifting slowly In southwestward
direction over the face of the sky, its
motion changing its apparent position
BY an amount equal to the diameter
Of the moon In the course of about
1000 years, So great an apparent mo-
ton must indicate an enormous veloci'
ty in space.-NeS York Press.

A FAMILY MIX.
The Story as It Is Recorded on the
Tombstones.

The Story as II IL Recorded on the
Tombstones.
In the early part of the last century
there lived In an old New England
town a Mr.. Church, who, in the course
Of his pilgrimage through this vale Of
tears, was bereft Of four wives, all Of
whom were buried IN the same lot. In
his old age 1t became necessary to re.
move the bodies to a new cemetery.
This melancholy task the much be-
reaved widower undertook himself,
but In the process the bones Of the la
mented quartet became hopelessly
mixed. Priding himself on possession
Of a New England conscience, Mr..
Church would not under the painful
circumstances, permit the use Of the
original .headstones, but procured new
ones, one Of which bore the following
inscription; "Here lies Hannah Church
and probably a portion Of Emily" An
other; Sacred to the memory Of Emil
ly Church, who seems to be mixed
with Matilda" Then followed these
lines:
Stranger, pause and drop a tear,
For Emily Church Lee buried here,
Mixed in some perplexing manner
With Mary. Matilda and probably Han
nah.

Of the dlgnifed old beast who gazes

something else has attracted his at

A story Is told Of a man who tried
the hypnotic trick on an ostrich. At
first the bird crouched down and fiut-
tered his wings neryouSly. but made
no other manifestation for some time,
A few hours later the body Of the
man was found, with the huge bird al
ternately stamping and sitting on 1t.
Another Is told Of a man who tried to

the animal made a fierce charge
against the bars of his cage and at the
