Presbyterian institute.

The Presbyterian Sunday School ln- stitute and Training school, which con- venes at all the Presbyterian churches or the district commencing Monday, and closing Friday night, is creating consid- erable interest among the church people, and the Sunday school workers are par ticularly pleased, for the discourses that will be made by the learned divines iHi- part much valuable information with ref- erence to their work.
 The three well-known pastors who have been selected to preach at the Bessemer Presbyterian church Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night are the Rev. A. L. Phillips. D. D., the Rev. G. o. Bach- man and Dr. A. O. Browne.
 The Rev. l. F. Swallow is desirous that every one who can possibly do so will attend all three of these meetings, as the opportunity will not present itself again soon for them to hear such learned men on the subjects to be discussed.

MINER FELL AN
AWFUL DISTANCE
NORRIS TRACY DROPS SEVENTY
FIVE FEET AND STILL
LIVES.

Morris Tracy fell seventy-five feet
through a stope in the Mizpah mine
OF the Tonopah Mining Company,
and still lives to tell and to be told
the tale. His escape from death was
most remarkable, and his chances
for recovery are said to be of the
best.
The accident occurred on the night
before last in the stope under the
second level. Tracy was working on
the tagging, when the latter gave
way and he was precipitated through
the stulls for a distance of twenty
FIVE feet, until his body struck the
footwall, and from there he bound
ed and rolled down the rocks for a
distance of fully fifty feet, never
stopping until he struck the third
level.
The miners in the stope rushed to
Tracy's aid, and were surprised to
find him still conscious. He was
raised from the mine as quickly as
possible and conveyed TO the Min
ers' Union hospital, where DR.. Cow
den pronounced the summary OF his
injuries as a dislocated shoulder, and
a lacerated scalp. Yesterday he was
removed TO his home. where DR..
Hammond made an examination for
a fracture of the skull, and could
not find any.
This was the surprise OF it all, for
1t was a marvel to the miners and to
the men of science how Tracy could
escape without a fracture. He re-
NAMED conscious and although It
will be many days before he can
again do any stopping, the doctors
say that he will recover, beyond a
doubt. How it was that a lot of
rock did not follow him down in
his fall, is another mystery. Had any
of the rock broken out and gone
down behind him, doubtless he
would have been killed.

THANKSGIVING TO
BEGIN SINKING


Ore has been struck in the east
drift of the Thanksgiving at the $50
foot level. The ledge was broken
almost directly under the high-grade
shoot that was discovered at the sur
face last spring. At some point near
where the ledge is being broken. It
is expected there will be found a
chimney of extra rich ore. This
drift will be extended along the
ledge TO the contact.
The management will begin sink
ing another 100 feet February Isl.
II is the purpose of the company TO
thoroughly explore the Thanksgiv-
ming ledge, to even beyond the SEQ
foot level with all possible speed.
The treasury has ample funds for
the purpose.
Assays taken across the four-foot
face OF the east drift Yesterday gave
q return of $56.42 in gold.
When It is remembered that the
three westerly drifts on the 2S6,
2S6 and $50 foot levels are in a
uniform body of ore SO TO 5 feet in
width. running from $50 10 the
fancy figures, some idea of the flu
ture productiveness of the mine may
be had.
While sinking the main shaft, the
blocking OF ore will be carried on
along the different levels already
opened mp.

The Great Western was incorpor-
ated for 1000, 600 shares Of stock,
of which 10000 shares went into
the treasury, and nearly all of which
is intact. This gives the parent com
pany of the camp the control, and
the purchase was made with the
treasury stock of the Round Noun
tain Mining Company, and in which
stock there has been a considerable
advance within the past few days.
The merger was completed without
increasing the capital stock of the
purchasing company. and what is
more there will be no increase.
The mill of the Round Mountain
Mining Company has been averaging
" ton of ore a day, saving SO per
cent of the values, without cyaniding,
showing how free milling is the ore
of Round Mountain. The returns Of
the company for January were $780,
600.
The reason for the purchase of the
Great Western group. which COM
prises six claims, was the discovery
that the famous Sunnyside ledge en-
ters the Great Western. 1t has geen
traced to the sideline of the group,
and as a matter of fact, one of the
leases on the Great Western has de-
veloped the same ledge. So the par
ent company has not only increased
its territory, but its ore reserves as

ELECTRIC POWER
For MANHATTAN

The Neyada-C California Power Co,
with its magnificent hy~dro-electric
development plant on Bishop Creek.
on the eastern flank of the Sierra
Nevadas, has signifed its intention
OF extending its power lines from
Tonopah to Manhattan-the work to
be done this summer.
The route will probably be via
Millers where there is now a large
sub-station), up Smoky Valley, and
thence through Manhattan canyon.
A branch line will probably be ex-
tended up the valley 10 Round Noun
tain.
With abundant electric power, at
a reasonable price. the development
of the camp will go forward with
leaps and bounds. Neither Tonopah
or Goldfeld made satisfactory or not
able progress until ample electric
power was furnished by this electric
company. In those camps every
mine and every mill has all needed
power. at the simple cost of installing
an electric motor, The wonders
wrought in these two old camps, as
well as In Bullfrog, will be repeated
in Manhattan and Round Mountain
upon the advent Of electric power.
Next winter will see this camp
with reliable electric illumination,
with arc lights in the streets and at
the mines. The users of steam power
will be independent Of the wood

his company is operating in that
camp. His lease adjoins the Kearns
lease, which is the bonanza of the
camp, and as the Kearns ledge runs
through the st. Ives Leasing Com
oany holding, they have the best
chances of duplicating its success.
Mr.. Codd is working four men and
estimates that he will cut the ledge

scratched on top as yet, and it is inn
possible to tell the extent of the
Lodges. but in every shaft in the
camp the ore has improved with
tepth.
"A very rich strike has been made
on the Royal property which is about
six miles south of Rawhide,'' con-
,inued Mr.. Codd. and 1t has liyened

Belmont Drops Onto
The nizpah Ledge


The Belmont mine Is proving up the good work of which II raw
promise, when early in the week the 1OO0foot Level showed ~
so strong. 1t will be remembered that at the time the north
croSscu hu encountered polished quartz, which Superintendent
Brady was quite certain was going to develop into the Mtznah
ledge. They went through this quartz with a few shots. and the
report is that with the development of the past few DAYS the
orr has come in in rich chunks.
The entire face is in ore, and this makes the mine look like its
former self. The news evidently reached the coast and the East
for the price OF the stock, which had been lingering in the
neghborhood of $1.02k a share, took a sudden spurt Yesterday
and did not stop this side of $3.50. It softened in the afternoon
and was $l.S21s at the close. The Belmont is now sending to the
mill about $50 tons of ore a day.
