New York, December 1S.-Mme. Nellie
Media, who recently arrived here to fill
limited engagement at the Manhat-

that she had completed arrangements
for her trip to her home in Australia
Nine Melba's visit to Australia is ex-

mental reasons, it is more than likely
that the famous singer will be heard in

GOOD Milling
ORE in TRAMP

The drift at the Tramp Consoli
dated property at Rhyolite, New, is
in 45 feet north and 40 feet south
from the point where the ledge was
reached by the crosscut from the
600 foot level, and Superintendent
Garden has started winze in the
drift, where the ledge first was reach
ed. Some ore appears here, and it
is his purpose to prospect more
thoroughly in this locality. A good
quality of milling ore continues in
the drifts, with liberal streak of
shipping material. Where the winze
is bein sunk the ore is in sulphide
form, the character of the high-grade
material on this level.
On the 500. the drift is in 24O feet,
and the ledge is being crosscut. An
excellent milling grade also appears
at this point. Mr.. Garden says that
numerous applications have been
made for leases on Tramp ground,

FOR INCORRIGIBLES

The trustees of the Utah State
Industrial School have determined to
send communication to Governor
Sparks of Nevada Offering to care
for and look after the incorrigibles
of Nevada. At the present time Ne
yada is without any house of correc-
ton or reformatory and children or
youths charged with minor offenses
either have to be kept in the county
Jail or sent to the State prison,
where they will be thrown with the
most hardened criminals in the coun-
try. There has been considerable
criticism on account of this mingling
the first offenders with the confirmed
criminals, the young with the aged
and stepped in crime, and now the
trustees of the Utah Institution have
offered to take thf unfortunate at so
much per.
AT the present time a number of
the blind are sent to a Utah institu-
ton for instruction, the State of Ne

BANKER REPLACES
MISSING MONEY

SALT LAKE. March 13.-It now
transpires that 100000 is the sum
missing from the Utah National
Bank. J. c. Chapman, one of thq
heaviest stockholders in the bank,
has just returned from Mexico and
gave out the following statement to
an evening paper:
Il want to let the people of Salt
Lake and every other city know that
We directors of the bank have moth
ing to conceal and do not intend to
shield any one. The guilty person or
persons shall suffer, and the inno-
cent shall be indicated. The
amount stolen was 100000, and not
$4,000, or any other sum. Mr.. Nc
Cornick replaced this sum from his
own private fortune. 1t will rest
with the stockholders whether Mr..
Mccormick ever gets back his money.
1t is not within the power of the
bank president to levy upon the d.
rectors nor the stockholders for the
money. The matter will be put up
to the stockholders for final judg-
ment. If they refuse to sustain Mr..
McCornick's action, and refuse to
vote to reimburse him, he will be
loser of the $1O6,OO0. That is all.
This thing happened before |
went to Mexico, but they never told
me about it. While | was there I
was not kept closely informed of the
facts about the robbery or the in
vestigation.

but he does not think that it is the
policy of the company to grant any.
The management has passed on
this matter on various occasions.
The company expects in the near
future to erect a milling plant, to
operate the property more extern
sively, and it does not care to be
tied up with leases. Nothing def
mite is known regarding the mill
plans, -Rhyolite Herald.

trading in Rawhide stocks will end
before another week. A stock ex-
change was organized here tonight
for the purpose of listing the prop
critics in the new Esmeralda county
camp. Quarters will be obtained and
officers elected.
San Francisco's delay in putting
the names of the best Rawhide

ment in Reno. Frederick Grutt, JUL

Interest in the activity of Raw
hide has been unprecedented The
brokerage houses, increasing in num-

NEVADA CENTRAL
into RAWHIDE

1t is learned on unquestioned au-

that the Nevada Central railroad,
from Battle Mountain to Austin,
which line is under option to the
Western Pacific railroad, has under
consideration the construction of a
branch line to Wonder, Fairview and
Rawhide.
1t is believed that this will result
in the abandonment of the projected
line to Fairview and Fallon by the
Nevada Hills Mining Company, as
well as the proposed line from Schurz
to Rawhide, the outlet via the Ne
vada Central being much shorter to

worked for several years by crude
processes, and $S25,0OO in silver and
