HEINTZ Is MANAGER

been advanced to the general manager

turn from a trip of inspection to the
cOmpany's properties at Eureka, New.
He said that MI. HeintZ would prob
ably reach home from the company's
eastern headquarters last night. Mr..
HeintZ has been really discharging the
duties Of a general manager for some
time past. and il is perfectly natural
that the company should give him the
title and authority that goes with such
an important position.

MINING MEN
ARE CAUTIONED
Smelling Contracts Should Not
Be Made at Present Time,
Is the Advice.

1t Is claimed in mining circles that
strong pressure is now being brought
to bear by the smeIter trust, so called,
to secure long time contracts and that
concern, it is declared, is beginning to
sit up and recognize the fact that the
smelter proposition is anything but a

From the best information obtain
able said prominent mine manager
yesterday, L am firmly convinced that
mine owners are going to make a mis-
take if they consent TO an acceptance
OF such smelling contracts as are now
beng offered them. No matter what
they may think of the new smelter
movement; no matter what they are
told by the smelling outfits now seeking
their business, they cannot possibly lose
anything by holding off for time and
watching the progress of events.

The markets for the metals are go

pectors are leaving for home. Mr..
Fleiner reports that on the Charm Min
ing company's ground five men are
working steadily and the property
looks wei.
On the IbeX company's property a
force of about fifteen men is at work.
The Charm company has in the past
shipped some wonderfully rich gold
ore. The shaft is down 800 feet, and
the showing is fine. Work is being
done here with a whim. and here, as
at the Ibsx. the veXatiOus question is
the water.
Hitherto the water for the hex was
hauled some three miles. A well has
been sunk at the source of supply fifty
feet deep, and drifts twenty-five feet
on both sides of the shaft are being run
to increase the flow. When this has
been completed, a gasoline pump will
be installed and the water pumped
over to the shaft. Ed Craft is super
intending the operations. The hex
shaft is down 100 feet, and fifty or six
ty feet of a drift is being run to strike
the vein.
At the Oasis group things lookfwe1,
and here five men are steadily plug
ging along.

fact that the history Of this Govern.
ment shows that those men who"have
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon its peo-
pie and its institutions as statesmen,
soldiers, financicrs--have as rule

that there comes with overmastering

More especially does II come with re-
doubled persuasiveness, greater pow

unrest begin to darken the sky; when
the cry Of panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat
tie; when with reason or without
reason there arises before him the
specter Of ruin, grinning in his face
and waving its gaunt arms In threat
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan.
cial furry, which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and a very few be-
came insane because Of their losses.
Two or three took their own lives.
