THE NAN OF FALLEN FORTUNES.
His Opinion Of His FellOw-han as De
duced from Hard Experience.


Losing ones money" said the man
of fallen fortunes. lis not without It's
eompensating comforts; for instance, in
the discovery of ones real friends.
when was rich l never knew for
sure whether a man, being rich, was
drawn TO me because ] was rich also or
whether, being poor, he was drawn to
me because he thought could help him;
but it was easy to tell after / had lost
my money.
T'The proudest qualification that got
then found in the loyalty Of my fami-
". One and all they stood by me with
q gentle sympathy and unfaltering de-
VotiOn that has continued TO the pres
ent moment and that ! know will never
fail-my strongest and most encourage
ing support
f'And then / began to make discover
les about my friends, to discover which
were fair weather friends. which were
friends only when l could help them and
which were friends through thick and
thin; and found friendliness to exist
as a bedrock enduring quality in rich
and poor slike. -
"There is this TO be said about the
rich man end his money: When q man
has made money he hates to give 1t up.
But have known rich men who proved
themselves stalwart, staying friends In
deed; who gave though the chances Of
the money ever coming back to them
II they thought of that ct all-must
have seemed very slim; men who gave
with a prompt readiness that took all
the sting out of the necessity Of asking,
with q willingness that was Of itself
most helpful and cheering.
"And then while have had men drum
me for small debts which was able to
pay off very slowly have had men to
whom / owed bigger debts say to me
and this out Of sheer kindness and
friendfness 10 me-to take away from
me a burden: Forget it, old man; don't
Worry yourself over that. Well just
simply cross that off the book and call
il square. And-and this is not the least
of the things that have solaced me
there are men, rich men and men not
rich, with whom my relations in another
day were friendly, who have treated me
always ever since personally just the
same, with absolute unbroken kindness
and consideration.
$50 my misfortune has revealed to
me friends whose real friendliness /
might otherwise not have known; and
the world seems kinder to me than it
did before. We must all look out for
ourselves; self preservation is the first
law Of nature; but still the fact remains
that the run Of men are a pretty good
lot, ready to help others.
cit remains only for man TO help
himself; and by all this kindness to me,
embroidered anew, l am, confde to
you, and with prospects most cheering,
now making another try at fortune. -

Hart, Gait, July 9.-The strike at the
Flyer claim, owned by Postmaster
Milton Mundy, and located south Of
the Big Chief lease on the Orc, is daily
growing in magnitude. Since last week
the shaft has peer sunk 20 feet, and
there is now enough high grade in
sacks to make a fair sized shipment.
Twenty inches average $500 to the ton,
while the waste going over the dump
runs $l2 a ton. Grab samples taken by
your correspondent from the sacks
panned for at least 81, 800 a ton. The
ledge is about four feet wide, and it Is
estimated the whole will average 800
per ton. Several options and leases
have been taken on adjacent claims the
past week. Mr.. Mundy was for many
years superintendent of the Tiffany

Gently purchased the property from the
~trainmen, who realized a neat sum for
their generosity to the prospectors. A
carload shipment is now being pre-
pared, and will be sent out in a few
days.
The Big Chief lease is still working
in high grade ore, IL inches running as
high as $50 per ton. The big tunnel
has reached a distance Of 800 feet, and
when completed will give a depth of
$50 feet under the ore bodies exposed
in the upper workings.
The main tunnel on the Orc Belle No.
1 is in about 800 feet. At the 1s5-foot
point n twelve-foot vein was found.
North and south drifts are being run
on this vein, the values averaging $25
to the ton. Another vein, exposed in
an upper tunnel, is expected to be en-
countered within a few days. Hart &
Hit, owners of this valuable estate, are
also working the old Mahana lease on
the adjoining block, where they are
saeking high grade values.
The area of the district is constantly
widening with new discoveries, and the
dozen or more working properties are
all in ore, OF heading for known ore
deposits. The Orc Belle Mines com
pany and the Hart Florence Mining
company will begin operations within
a few days.

eially on the 1,000-foot level, where the
main east crosscut is being pushed
ahead into a territory of vast import
ance which lies north Of the Mizpah
fault. This crosscut is now over 100
feet north of this famous fault and has
been continually cutting s%tringers of
quartz from 2 to 10 inches in width and
carryinb values. The one cut about so
feet north Of the fault, which was about
10 inches wide, is being drifted on to
the east and shows good ore all the way.
Much Importance is attached to the
work in this section, as the formation
is solid and for the past 100 feet shows
no sign of a break. Should a good vein
be found by this work it is thought
there will be much less trouble in fol
lowing it than has been the general
rule to the south of the fault. During
the past week a total of 1913 feet of new
ground was broken, excluding all work
lone in the slopes. The mine shows a
general improvement right along under
steady and persistent development. AT
the mill everything is running very
satisfactory, an average of 80 out of
the 60 stamps dropping continuously,
crushing about 1900 ton of ore per
week, about half of which comes from
the Belmont mine, the balance from diff
ferent companies operating in Tonopah.
Montana conopah
The development work of the past
two weeks has brought a great improve
ment in the condition of the Montana
mine. At several points extremely rich
ore has bcen encountered, some of it
running nearly a thousand dollars to the
ton, the higher values being found in
the oxidized ore. In the early part of
this week one of these rich oxidized
veins was struck which showed a width
of about three-fourths of a foot, but
yesterday this streak of rich stuff wild
ened out to fully Is inches and returns
between 10 and IL ounces of gold and
900 and 1000 ounces of silver to the
ton. The bodies of sulphide ore being
upon show a decided improve
ment, and the mine in general is look
ing better than for a long time past,
being a big increase in the ton
mage of high grade and milling ore in
sight. An immense amount of prospect
ing and development work is being ear
ried on in the property, the most i'm
portant of which is the north crosseut
the 765-foot level, which is now out
over LOO feet, where an entirely new
country is being penetrated. The for
nation now in the crosscut looks very
and the work is going ahead
as fast as possible. The work of the
mill is excellent, over LOO tons being
treated this week, the records showing
extraction of between 80 and 81 per
cent. The 40 stamps of the mill are
kept dropping constantly on their own
ore.

The shaft on the Syene has been
cleaned out to a depth of 80 feet and
sinking has been resumed. 1t will be
sunk to the 150-foot level at least, ut
which point it is thought the ledge will
be encountered. On the 90-foot level
erosseutting has been started east and
west. The west drift has passed through
the big ledge, and is being driven to-
ward another about 100 feet distant.
The ledge was found to be IL feet in
width, and the entire body is of mill
ing grade. On the footwall a small
strinper was found that gives high
values. 1t is heavily laden with sui

and which carried ore of milling value.

The ore shipments over the Tonopah
and Goldfeld railroad for the week to
the Western Ore Purchasing company,
consisted of 1870 tons from the Tonopah
Extension.
The Tonopah company sent $500 tons
the Belmont company $50 tons, the
Montana-Tonopah 100 tons, the North
star 50 tons, the Midway 100 tons, and
the MaeNamara $50 tons to the mills.
making the total shipments for the
week $40 tons.
Inc total output of the Tonopah
mines was $40 tons, of an estimated
value (the shipping ore being valued
at 500 a ton and the milling ore at s25
a tony of SASS SOC.
-onopah Company
The same lively pace was kept up in
the development of the Tonopah Min
ing eompany's property this week that
has marked its operations for some time
past, l9l feet of new ground being
broken in the Silver Top claim and
2oih IN the Mizpah, making a total of
392h feet of new work for the past
week. These figures do not include the
vast amount of work required in the
slopes in the extraction of ore. When
1t is considered that an average of $500
tons OF ore are taken out every week
and sent to the mill. together with the
amount of new ground broken, one can
form a faint idea of the immense under
ground workings in this property and
also the energy hat is put forth in the
systematic development of the mine.
Prospecting work is being carried on
on every. level of the property, some of
1T being in new territory.
MacNamara
The MacNamara mine is keeping up
its heavy shipments of ore, three ears
of over 80 tons each having been sent
to the Belmont mill at Millers this
week. This ore is of very good milling
grade, averaging from $45 to $50 a ton.
The mine in general is looking excel
lent, there being enough ore now
blocked out in the westerly workings
from the 300-foot level to keep up the
regular shipments of three ears a week
for some time. The motor and trans
former to run the compressor and fans
have been put in place, and beginning
Monday electricity will be used.
This will cut down the power expense
fully one half and make a big saving
in the expense of running the mine.
In the extreme west stope from the
drift from the south crosscut on the
300-foot level, $50 feet west of the
shaft. the back shows 3 feet of good
ore for a distance of 40 feet, the stope
being up an average of 10 feet above
the drift.
