added to this before night, and with
Key Pittman, ]. Grant Crumley and
Geo. Thatcher in charge of affairs, a
special train pulled out at 1880 for
Nina. There were two box cars
ahead and eleven fat cars, each with
an automobile, filled with supplies
and members of the committee.
On those eleven fiat cars we're
SIS, 900 worth of machines, most of
them private cars, their owners be-
ing with them. 1t was a noble
gathering, and they were all work
ing in a most noble cause, rushing
aid to suffering humanity. Tonopah
will ever hold a green spot in the
heart of Rawhide.
From Reno and Fallon also came
professions of automobiles over the
desert rushing aid to the suffers. A
special train was sent from Reno in
the afternoon, and assurance was
sent from the Nat G. Goodwin COM
pany that there was all the money
that was needed for anything that
might tend to relieve the distress of
Rawhide. In Fallon, with /. H. Kent
at the head of the committee, several
thousand dollars we're raised in no
time at all, and converted into food
and supplies which were rushed
across the desert in the machines of
the Auto Livery company which
were furnished, gratis, by the COM
pany. From all quarters offers of
aid and expression of sympathy have
been pouring in and the wires have
never stopped working since they
were strung an hour after the Office
had been destroyed by fire.

COMMISSIONERS DO
CONSIDERABLE WORK

The board of county commission
ers we're in session yesterday and be-
side allowing a great number of bills
transacted considerable other nusi-
ness.
They levied a special tax for the
Round Mountain school district OF
$3.50 for every 800 valuation. This
is in addition to the former tax.
Voting precincts were established
at Lodi and Silver Bow in response
to petitions from the districts.
They also authorized the covering
over of the shaft at the intersection
of Bryan and University avenues witt
a good substantial material. The
town will pay half the expenses in
Cured and the Jim Butler Mining
company the other half.

GREAT INTEREST
is MANIFESTED

William j.. Bell, a former resident
of Tonopah, has returned to this city
after an extended visit through tine
eastern and southern states. He re-
ports great interest in the mining
situation in Nevada and believes that
the confidence of the people will not
be lost. Mr.. Bell is interested with
Charles Kielhofer and Letson Bal
lett In tAe Tom Boy claim at Gold
Reef and Is also interested In a town
site in that district, which has Just
been surveyed and plated. Several
companies in the east have been or
ganized to work the properties there
and while money is necessary, Mr.
Bell says that the money raised by
them will carry on extensive develop
ment work. The townsite which has
been laid off is an admirable one
There are $50 lots in the townsite
and each lot is thirty-two by 100 feet
and those interested in the enterprise
guarantee that the streets will be
graded and other improvements
made in a short time.

attention to mining for awhile and
will eventually take up a mercantile
pursuit. Many business men in Min
nesota and Wisconsin upon learning
that l was from Nevada, piled me
with questions upon conditions
throughout the state. There Is a
growing interest in that section in
our state and the people there are
just waiting for conditions to /
to the normal, which is now nearly
to that point, when they will begin to
let loose their savings and invest It in
this state. The old hazard in the
mining game has been effaced SO that
the resident of the non-mineral pro
ducing country is willing to take a
chance with a prospect Of getting .
big return on his money, something
which is nearly an impossibiIity in
any other investment"
On the political situation, Mr.
Uren said that everything seemed To
be for Taft. why" said he, TO
show which way the wind is blowing
drifted into the smoker YESTERDAY
morning as the train passed Blair
Junction and there was one of those
individuals who is always anxious as
to the politics of the people with
whom he comes in contact, proposed
that a straw vote should be taken Of
the passengers in the car and when
the vote was taken I nearly dropped
dead, for of the sixteen in the car
every blessed one of them was for
Taft and Sherman"

The Carlson Mill
Does Fine Work

G. +. PIyer of San Jose, California.
president of the Carlson Mining and
Milling company of Golden Arrow,
came in from that district yesterday
and reports a great deal of activity
there. The Carlson mill has been
completed and has Just finished its
initial run, which was a marked sue
cess. The u was made on horn
silver ore and the prediction made
that the mill would be unable to
save any of the values was d~isproved
when an assay OF the tailings taken
showed that values to the extent of
"a cents to the ton had been lost.
This is considered remarkable as the
ore only went from $40 to s12 a ton.
The mill is a ten-stamp one with CON
c%entrators and while only one shift Is
working at present the success of the
first u will undoubtedly cause an
extra shift to soon be added.
Mr.. Plyler leaves this morning for
a short business trip to San Fran
cisco, from whence he will return in
about ten days.

Rush Work on
the ShurZ Mill

All the machinery for the Truitt
mill at Schurz is now on the ground
and some of the buildings necessary
for the plant are built and others in
course of construction. The lumber,
timbers, ETC., necessary for the mill
plant are also there, and the work of
getting everything in position is be-
ing rapidly pushed. Concrete is now
being laid for the foundation for the
stamps, etc, and it will only be a
short time before the big mill and
cyanide plant will be in operation on
Rawhide ores.
This is by far the most important
mill for the reduction of Rawhide
ores that has materialized up to date.
and that it will have plenty to dc
and a surfeit goes without saying, as
the other two mills recently bull
have had a glut of ore on hand fol
reduction from the hour they were
ready to operate.
J. B. Truitt, who is at the head o.
the plant, and really its promoter, II
the well known assayer and mining
man. He claims to have made mos
exhaustive and thorough tests O
Rawhide ores and he says he hal
the proper process for a high savint
of values. The waters, he claims, o
the river at Schurz are special!
adapted to the cyanide process, be
ing free from all chemicals which II
many instances sadly interfere with
high saving of values.
1t is said that ore can be hauled
and laid down at the mill at presen
for Sc per ton, and when the railroa,
is completed, at a much lower figure
This will be a reduction of charge
over those now necessary to shi,
ores on the outside and ought to d
its share toward stimulating the ex
p~loitation of the rich and medium
grade ore which is now opened up 4
the Rawhide section in almost count
less tons.-Rawhide Press-Times.

SHAREHOLDERS HOLD ANNUAL
MEETING AND PLAN BIG CAM '
PAIGN OF WORK. 4,

The annual meeting Of the stock
holders of the Montana-Tonopah
mining company was held at the
company's offices in Tonopah yes
terady afternoon. This is the first
annual meeting of the company held
here. 1t being a Utah corporation
it was compelled to hold its meetings
in Utah until the corporation act of
that state was SO amended as to per-
NIT of their having main offices and
hold meetings outside of that state.
There was a large representation of
stockholders in person and by proxy.
Those present and participating in
the meeting were Chas. E. Knox,

A general discussion as to the
policy of the company was INDUCED
in which resulted in a plan that will
be of inestimable benefit to the en-
tire mining district of Tonopah
From a point yet to be determined
north of the shaft on the 765 Level
the company will sink a three com.

SCHWAB TO MANAGE
PLANT IN PERSON

1t was said yesterday OF apparent
ly reliable authority that Charles M.
Schwab. president of the Bethlehem
Steel company, will in a short time
give up his personal offices at No. Ill.
Broadway and make his headquart-
ers at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in
order to devote all his time to the
steel company, says the New York
Commercial. 1t is added that the.
New York end of the Bethlehem
Steel company's business will be
conferred at the office, No. 100 Broad
way, where a suite will be reserved.
Mr.. Schwab was at Bethlehem yes
teray, and no n at his office or at
the Office of the steel company would
confirm the statement. 1t was learn
ed, however, that Mr.. Schwab has a
two years lease on his office at No.
Ill Broadway.
1t is known that Mr.. Schwab is me-
g~otiating for a Suitable residence in
( Bethlehem and that he will take a
lease on 1t for at least a year, his
present plans being made for only
that length of time. For many
months past Mr.. Schwab has spent
more time at the company's works
than in his New York office. He made
his headquarters on his private car
while in Bethlehem, and is said to
have become dissatisfied with it as a
place Of residence.
For two years or more Mr.. Schwat
has confined his activities almost en-.
tirely to running the steel company
his operations in Wall street having
become insignificant. He has been a
the mills and furnaces from fifteen Il
twenty hours at a stretch and nov
feels that the future business Of thu
company requires his presence almos
constantly.
Within the last few years the Beth

ATTELL-WEEKS
FIGHT IN SIGHT

c. w. Miller received a wire from
Abe Attell last evening stating that
he would like to come to Tonopah in
the near future and box Freddie
Weeks.
Weeks has not been consulted yet,
he not knowing that Attell wishes to
fight him here, but it is almost an
assured fact that Freddie will jump
at a chance to wipe out the only
mark against him. The fight ON La
Dor day convinces Freddie's friends
that he is better than ever by the
way he handled Young Erlenborn,
who on two previous occasions gave
him a stubborn fight, but who did
not seem to have a look in Monday.
Erlenborn stated before he left yes
terday morning that instead of going
back that Freddie was faster and
better than he was when he boxed
him in Cripple Creek just previous to
his fight with Attell in Los Angeles.
Erlenborn says, "If Weeks can get
Attell in this country, bet the roll on
Fred"

Electric Power
For Manhattan

A well-known mining man who re-
Gently visited in Manhattan was
quoted as saying that when the cleo
trio power line from Bishop creek was
installed in this camp it would within
a very short time develop into one of
the biggest milling camps in the
west" The advent of electricity for
power purposes in Manhattan would
rev%olutionize the mining and milling
Industries here. Milling charges that
now range from So to SIS a ton
would be reduced from SO to SIS a
ton. With the cost of treating thus
reduced, ore running as low as IS to
$40 per ton could be milled at .
profit. 1t is a well known fact that
Manhattan has thousands of tons of
such grade ore on dumps and in sight
in the mines. Today the average val
ne of the ore milled in the camp IS
about $25 per ton. Less than that,
at the present milling charges, it
doesn't pay the companies or leasers
to mill, unless they install mills and
treat their own ores.
Several months ago, representa-
tive of the Nevada-C California Power
company visited Manhattan, Belmont
and Round Mountain with a view OF
ascertaining the amount of electrical
power required in the three camps
and to learn the attitude of the OPP
orators toward their power should
they extend their line into this part
of the county. Manhattan and Round
Mountain offered to contribute $40.
600 toward the expense of bringing
In the line. but the officers Of the
company stated that they did not
want any contributions; that they
were able o extend their lines with.
out aid and that they would prefe:
not to be under any obligations tC
individual users of current. No fur
ther statements were made at thu
time of the visit except to express con
idence in the camps, but leaving
however, the general impression tina.
in time their lines would be extend
ed.
Since the visit the company ha.
started to increase its plant NOR
than three fold. Dams and storag,
reservoirs are being constructed will
a storage capacity of more than 700,
10000 cubic feet, with an nltimat
energy of 5000 electrical horsepower
This work is expected to be eomplet
ed by the first of November at a cos
t of $250,000. The company is no,
! furnishing power to Tonopah, Gold

1t is now officially stated that Man
haitian and Round Mountain will b
connected with the long distanc
4 power line, and that the work will b
a completed by spring.
The bringing of electrical power

is fortunate in securing these two

the fastest company. His batting
and base running reminds one of
Hans Wagner of the Pittsburg Ma

be a regular member of the twirling
staff of the miners for the balance of
the season and with Deminston, a

The Arabs and, indeed, all Moslems
have the practice Of reinforcing prom
ises 10y adding to their word of honor
the Arabic phrase lnshallah C'Please
God'O. How much meaning it conveys
in some lands of the east is told in the
pages of 'ln Moorish Captivity"
The pious proyiso is very useful
formula TO the Moors and is frequently
used in making promises that they
have no intention whatever of keeping,
as they can then take refuge behind
the Almighty when they are taxed
with their breach of faith.
There is Il story told of Il man who
kept Il shop in Gibraltar and who
knew the ways of the Moor. To him
one day came one of the faithful, who
was desirous of buying some cloth
On being Informed that the price was
50 a yard, payment in sixty days, he
replied:
'All right l will take so much and
will pay you in sixty days, Inshallah."
NO" said the vender, "the price is
50, payment i'll sixty days. For sixty
days, Inshallah, the price is $3.50"

She Workea! the Snake Cure.

Novel crimes are occasionally com
mitted in Paris as, for instance: An
old gypsy woman called on n doctor
living in the Place Pierriere and asked
him to visit her daughter who was
lying i'll in Il caravan on the fortifica-
tions near by Il have tried the ser.
pent cure" she said but there was 10
result If you will allow me to pay
your fee in advance l shall be sure you
will come"
The doctor consented, and the old
woman handed him 500 note. AS
he was getting the change out of the
safe she again mentioned the serpent
cure and he asked her what it was.
This" she said, and, taking a box
from under her rags, she turned half
Il dozen snakes out on the floor.
The doctor was startled and rushed
out of the room. When he returned
with stick he found that the woman
and the snakes had vanished, while all
the moray in his safe had also gone.
He still held the $100 note in his hand,
but this proved TO be forgery.
