Santa Claus doesn't often leave such

time SCHEDULE
FOR HOSE TEAMS
VOLUNTEER FIREMEN WILL
RACE OVER THE SAME
COURSE.

The hose race on the part of the
members of the volunteer fire depart
ment this evening at $50 o'clock will
be on a different basis than those
heretofore run. The judges have con-
ceived the idea that racing from the
standpoint of both the participants
and spectators would be of a more
satisfactory character if run on time
schedule. At a given signal hose
team No. will run over the same
course and play the water upon the
Tonopah and Goldfield meat market
building and the time registered.
Then will follow hose No. 2 over the
same course, while No. will do like
wise. The contest will thus occupy a
greater space of time and will be of a
more satisfactory character. The race
will start from near the Valley View
hotel on upper Main street.

FIREMEN COPS
GAME DELAYED
POLICEMEN HAVE NOT HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY To GET IN
CONDITION.

The firemen and the cops will not
indulge in their game of base ball
this afternoon for the very good and
sufficient reason that time has not
been given the TANNERS of the locust
to get in condition. 1t is altogether
likely that additional seats will have
to be added to the grand stand to
accommodate the crowds. Piute
Bill who was given a fioater has an
nounced his intention of returning
with a host of buns that have been
given the run, in order to root for the
firemen Judge Brissell had three in
ebriates before him yesterday all of
whom contended that they were subs
for the coppers and had been drag
ging down highballs. The eminent
jurist Immediately declared that if
any more puns of this character were
made he would give them 60 days
and adorn them with a low ball.
President Goble of the volunteers,
who is scheduled to play short stop
was occupied yesterday afternoon in
a physicians Office having an X ray
thrown on his legs, which are slight
ly bowed with a view to having them
Strengthened so that he could play
the position al Lajoie. In this in
stance it might be remarked what is
lost by the non-appearance of the
men on the diamond today will be
more than made up by the rotten
game which will be played next Sun
day. If Malley's arm is in condition
and no body ever heard of it being
so, he will attempt to pitch for the
police. Now wouldn't that jar you.

MANHATTAN Mill
STARTS GRINDING
INITIAL RUN MADE ON RICH ORE
FROM THE SHEA
LEASE.

H. NJ. Roche, general manager of
the Manhattan Mill company, came in
from the northern camp yesterday
and returned in the evening, accom-
panied by Attorney Fred Berry, who
is interested in the company. The
mill. which was formerly known as
the Lemon mill, has been completely
overhauled and renovated and started
Friday noon on its initial run. The
trial run was on ore from the Shea
lease of a high grade character.
They are now running on $50 tons of
the ore from that lease that goes
$3.50 to the ton. The mill should eff
feet a high saving, as the contract
calls for 80 per cent There is much
rejoicing in the camp as it means
the handling of the vast dumps of ore
on which they have been unable to
get a return due to the lack of mill
ing facilities. 1t also insures ready
money for the miners of the camp
and an opportunity to continue de.
velopment work and the opening o.
vast ore bodies known to exist in the
district.

HAPPY DARKIEs.

Last evening a party of eastern
capitalists who are here to inspect the
mining possibilities of Gold Reef,
Nevada, dropped in at the Tuxedo
club, Devil Davis old place, and were
highly entertained by Chicago's fav-
orite rag-time artists, Dude Kelly and
Percy Wilson, known from coast to
coast as premiers in their particular
line of entertainment. AS the pro-
prietor, Bob Brown, has mislaid the
keys to the place, the entertainment
continues all night every night in the
week. In fact it carries us back to
the days before we were thriving
city.
