Secretary Wears Broad Smile over
Daughters Triumph,

Secretary Taft's smile was a little
broader than usual yesterday afternoon
as he mounted his horse in front OF the
War Department TO take his daily ride.
The passers-by doubtless thought he was
gratified at the first days proceedings of
the convention, news of which reached
him over a special wire. This was true,
but that only partially accounted for the
smile
What probably pleased him more than
any news that reached him was the in
formation that his daughter, Miss Helen
Heron Taft, had won the first Pennsyl-
vania scholarship $500 for the student
passing the best entrance examination
at Bryn Mawr The Secretarys daugh-
ter was graduated this month from the
Baldwin School and is now at home on
her vacation.

The veins will average from 0 to 10

R. L. ToPLITz BOOSTS
GOLDFIELD IN NEW YORK

r.. l.. Toplitz of the Daisy lease,
Goldfcld, is in New York and the
Financial Bulletin of hat city notes his
presence and quotes him at length, as
follows:
RoEc-t l.. Toplitz, a prominent mine
owner of Goldficld, is in New York,
and when asked as to the statement
some times heard that D~iamondfield
mines are spotty, or pockety, Mr.. Top
litz said. "This is true of all mines
carrying high grade ore in the oxidized
,r upper levels. The Daisy is not more
spotty han the average, but, on the
contrary, its vein system is the most
persistent and continuous in the Gold
field district. From our lease, called
the Daisy Leasing & Mining company,
| have made a number of shipments,
the last of which ran $262.50 per ton.
This was taken from the so-called mid
die vein, a very strong assure which
appears in all levels from the groupings
down. This vein is being worked by
the Great Bend, the adjoining property,
which has lately expended a large sum
of money in preparation for taking out
this same class of ore. The Daisy prop
erty is splendidly equipped with the
newest and largest type of machinery
to handle the fine ore bodies now ex-
posed in the eastern end of their prop
crty.
Next to the Consolidated and Florence,
there is no property in Goldfeld that is
being mined on so large a scale and
with as efficient management. One or
two of the officers of the company are
always on the ground and personally
giving their attention to the work in
hand. Til. general opinion in Gold
Geld. as expressed particularly by min
ors who have been employed under
ground, is to the effect that under the
new management the property will soon
step in linc as one of the greatest divi.
dend payers in Southern Nevada

MYERS BIGGEST CLAIM
OWNER IN ENTIRE STATE

Some weeks ago the story was going
the rounds of the press that Al Myers.
one Of the discoveries of Goldfield, was
down and ont financially. OF course,
his friends knew that this was a base
less rumor, hut it was 50 pcrsistcnt.y
circulated, that one of his closest
friends and associates in the early days,
felt called upon to deny the rumor, and
pointed out that AL Myers was the larg-
est individual real estate and property
holder in Goldfeld.
1t now remains for the Ely Expositor
TO discover and make public the fact
that Mr.. Myers is the heaviest holder
of mining claims in the state of Ne
vada. In d recent issue, the Exposition
said:
j. X. Turner, consulting engineer for
AL Myers mining interests, is i'll the
city to look after the condition of the
work which has beer done on the vari-
ons properties in this district owned by
companies in which Mr.. Myers holds
the controlling interests.
Mr.. Turner has just been to Mizpah
where the Mizpah Gold and Copper
company has resumed development work
with a force of five men.
IN the Robinson district, Mr.. Myers
is interested through companies and
with other operators, in 60 claims.
These include the Giroux-Ely Extension,
Ely Western, Richard Ely. United Ely,
Ely Calumet and others of less promi-
nence.
Two hundred and fifty-nine claims in
the state of Nevada stand in the indi-
vidual name of Al Myers, and counting
all the companies in which he owns
Mr.. Myers is interested in more
than eleven hundred claims in Nevada.
The annual work has been or is being
done on all the list and good full assess
ments are always done, without any
skipping or attempts to evade the law.
