SATISFACTORY REPORTS
AT The ANNUAL MEETING
Many Interesting and Enjoyable
Features Marked the Gathering
Members OF the Con-
~ eregational Church.

Two hundred or more members of
the Congregational church were in
attendance last night at the annual
meeting of the membership. AS us
ual this all important gathering of
the church people was very enjoy
able.
During the early part of the even
ing supper was served by the ladies'
ia the basement of the building. The
ipenu was very tempting and the ser
vice was. of course. admirable.
There was satisfaction expressed
over every report made at the bust
ness meeting. The affairs of the
church are certainly in excellent con-
dition. The Indebtedness has been
materially reduced, and In another
year will be entirely wiped out. The
pipe organ has been entirely paid for.
The report made by every society
of the church indicated substantial
growth and prosperous conditions.
The membership of the church has
been increased by many additions
during the year just passed.
The one feature that detracted
from the enjoyment of the occasion
was the announcement of the resig-
nation of the pastor. Rev. James A.
Becker. The membership declined
to accept the resignation at the meet
ing last night; but, by unanimous
vote, requested that Rev. Becker re-
consider his resignation. The mem-
bers. without an exception. are anx-
ious that Rev. Becker remain as pas
tor of the church.
Officers of the church were select
ed for the current year. and nearly
all of the old officers were reelected
by unanimous votes.

TO INCREASE AREA OF
The HOMESTEADS
Nlondell of Wyoming
Will Make An Effort to Enlarge
Homesteads to 800 Acres.
(By Associated Press.)


Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. An re-
cent letter Congressman Mondell of
Wyoming says that in his opinion
he believes that 1t will be possible
to secure legislation increasing the
area Of homesteads. also legislation
widening the scope of the timber and
stone act. and is hopeful of the pass
age of bill authorizing the commits
sioner of the general land office to
sell lands within railroad land grant
limits.
He states that a permissive law.
leaving the matter entirely in the
hands of the commissioner of the
general land office will not meet with
the same opposition which a bill
granting the right to buy outright
will encounter. Further. some argu-
ments can be made in favor of the
government disposing of the lands
which are left within railroad land
grant limits which could not be made
with any force with regard to the
rest of the public domain. Under
such a bill the commissioner could
sell or not as he saw fit, or he could
sell certain classes of lines ard de-
cline to sell others.
1t is true that, says the congress-
man, there are lands within the linn
its of the Union Pacific land grant
in Wyoming that people could not
afford to pay s1.25 an acre for, but
If the more valuable grazing lands
were sold it would probably be pos
sible to follow this legislation up
with an amendment by which the
minipum would be reduced.
Mr. Mondell further states that
he does not wish it understood that
his 320-acre homestead bill is be-
You'd question in all its provisions
the best legislation that could be had
on this subject His idea is to in
crease the area of the homestead.
and in order to ward off opposition
in certain directions he provided that
Land containing merchss.tah,e - tim
ber cannot be entered under the law
and that not over so acres of irriga-
BILE land shall be included in the ell
try. He thinks this last provision
should be increased to 16O acres. |
The bill is tentative. His idea is to
increase the area of the homestead
and he thinks 1t can be increased to
500 acres without the repeal of the
clause. but he is doubt
full if it could be Increased to $40.

"The properties adjoining Packard
have as good if not better showing,
than any group of claims l have seen in

FORECAST OF roNoPAH
CO.'S ANNUAL REPORT

The Tonopah Mining company's In
nual report presages early dividend re-
sumption with developments from a
mine standpoint better than anything
heretofore shown in the history of the
mine. Total net earnings and income
for the year ending February 20,
$1,471,SS7; total cash on hand, l17,449.
The first ten months of the year shows
an average Of 5000 tons run through
the mill each month. The last two
months over $4,000 tons each.
1t is Officially said that the mine has
about $9,O 900 now in sight to the
600-foot level, with several years
work to he done in opening the west
end Of the property, where rich ore is
known to exist. The ore now being de-
veloped under the daeite intrusion
around the 900-foot level is not now
commercially valuable, running from
- to 90 a ton. but gives every indica-
tion Of running richer with depth.

Rainstorm's Great Showing

Too much cannot be said about the
Rainstorm property, owned by Lane
and Bryan, for on these claims the prin-
cipal development work is going on.
The ~leasers on this property have made
connection from their shaft with the
original one sunk by the owners, which
is down fifty feet. From this point the
shaft is to be sent down to greater
depth and together with the large
amount of development work mapped
ont by the owners of the property a
large force of men will be employed on
the Rainstorm.
The plans of the company for the
Immediate development of the great
Rainstorm lead include the running of
a 700-foot tunnel. 1t will follow the
ledge for the entire distance and will
give a depth on the vein of about 800
feet. This work. which is to start at
once. will be done by the Rainstorm
company and is a development of the
greatest Importance. The opening of
the great ledge to such depth will
block out a tonnage of ore sufficient for
the long continued operation of the
mill which is to be installed and the
tunnel will make it possible to mine the
ore on the most economical basis.
Town Of Florence Growing
The town of Florence is quite a busy
place and il growing all the time.
Among the business houses which have
been opened up are three saloons, three
restaurants, three lodging houses, one
store, one bakery and a frst-elass black
smith shop.
Other Pine Forest Camps
Before the summer is over there will
be activity in many camps in the Pine
Forest range. Since the rush started
to Florence there is a great revival of
interest at Dyke, Ashdown, Bartlett
Creek, Snow Creek. Pass Creek, Buck
aroo and other camps where there are
good exposures of ore.
James Corbeil of Winnemueea is
showing about $500 in gold bullion re-
covered from ore taken from a claim
that he is interested in at New York
canyon. The gold was extracted from
the ore by an arast-a. On their prop
erty they have developed a nice ledge
of ore that IS rich in the yellow metal.
Samples Of the rock exhibited are as
rich as any found in the Pine Forest
range and show large colors of gold.
