roMoPAH AND BELNoNT

Philadelphia, Marcn 0.
1t is not my purpose to heap abuse
upon the former management OF the
Tonopah and the Belmont companies. no
matter how deserving: nor cater to the
whims of the stockholders of these cor
porations; nor pander to public plaudits.
I am not interested in the market move
ments of the Tonopahs but propose to
give facts for the benefit of those in
terested, present conditions as they ex-
list and give credit to whom 1t belongs,
for the underlying conditions surround
ing these properties will exert them
selves in due time.
Only those who know what is being
accomplished by the present manage
ment can appreciate what ~difhculties
Morgan Tfi1inghast had to'overcome be-
fore he succeeded in bringing about re-
suits in Tonopah Belmont.
In advocating honest methods. / wish
to call your attention to the following
for comparison sake.
On December I'd last. not a drift nor
a crosscut in the Tonopah Belmont
mine showed ore. and that only a Few
worked out Slopes were available for
obtaining ore to ship to the mil. AT
this time, nearly all the workings are
in ore, and development to the end or
blocking out ore bodies is now going on.
Much progress has been made with the
new development since the fore part OF

william NJ. Porter. president of the
International Mining exposition, which
opens at Madison Square Garden In
New York May 25th. has written to the
Nevada Publicity commission urging
that the state Of Nevada make an ex-
bibit Of her mineral wealth at said ex-
position
A space Of 150x32 feet has been set
apart for Nevada, but so far no steps
have been taken toward utilizing the
space.
II each county in the state will APP
propriate the $3.50 authorized in Section
Of the publicity act, a fair exhibit
could be made.
1t is also proposed to raise money by
private subscription. and all money adj
vanced can be refunded by the state in
the shape of a relief bill, to both coun-
ties and individuals.
This is a matter of great Importance
to the entire state. All the other
western mining states will be repre-
scented by a blank space 15oxS2 feet
would b. a disgrace to the state.
Any subscription forwarded to the
chairman of the commission at Carson
City will be publicly acknowledged, ano
II -four or five thousand dollars is raised
1t will be sufficient to pay the trans,
portation on the ores to New York and
return, and have a representative of the
commission in New York during the ex'
positon. which lasts from May 25th tc

Earle R.. Clemens. editor of the Rhyo-
lite Herald was in Goldfeld this week on
business. He was bubbling over with
enthusiasm for his home camp of Bull
frog. as the district has been making
magnificent progress within the past
month and is on the verge of a veritable
boom.
Regarding recent developments in the
Bullfrog district. Mr.. Clemens said:
1.-THE most important news feature of
the week at Rhyolite Is the preliminary
organization of a cooperative milling
company to build and operate a custom
mill at this place. At a mass meeting
of citizens. 1t was decided to organize a
company with a capitalization of one
million shares. all treasury stock,
and place same on the market at 81 par.
A committee of nine business men was
appointed and during the first days
canvass the subscriptions for stock
amounted to $4,000. 1t is proposed to
raise 10000 at the earliest possible
date. The plan is to take labor. ores.
machinery. lumber and materials in ex-
change for stock. SO that every citizen
may become interested. The mill will
start with a capacity of ten stamps as
the minimum. and will be increased as
occasion demands. There are thousands
of tons of milling ore already taken out
and in sight in the several properties
and a number of leasers are also extract
ing quantities of ore which are not rich
enough to ship to outside plants. hence
the necessity of a mill upon the ground.
The three railroads traversing the Bull
frog district. entering the town of Riiyo-
lite. place nearly every producer prac-
tically on the rails. There Is an
abundance of water. piped to Rhyoiite.
which may be secured at very reasonable
rates. Altogether the proposition is
feasible and will doubtless be consum-
mated.
"The Montgomery Shoshone mill is
treating IFS tons per day averaging
from $40 to s25. and direct shipments are
being continued to Salt Lake at the
rate Of from three to six cars a week.
The big tale body is being auarried out
of the side of the hill and shipped prac-
tically without sorting. with values rum
ming from $40 to 500 a ton in gold and
silver. A cleanup of the zine precipi-
tates is being mad this week
The Bullfrog Gold Bar mill continues
to treat IS tons daily and a cleanup Is
also being made this week which will
amount to several thousand dollars.
The steel work on the 25-stamp mill
at the Homestake-K King IL being rushed
and II IL expected that the plant will be
In operation within 80 days. A COM
pressor plant will be ordered for the
mine.

 TO HAVE SCANDAL

Jackson, Miss, August 7.-(Special.)- Reports have reached Jackson to the eff feet that Merldians ball team threw" Wednesdays game to Vicksburg on a dicker with Man ger Blackburn, and Jackson is very much of the opinion that the game should be thrown out of the counting.
 Anderson, left fielder for Meridian, who is now here playing Jackson, is authority for the statement that Meridian sold out to Vicksburg, and he does not go behind the house to tell it. He does say, how eve. that he did not share in the profits, which consisted of a chicken and beer supper promised the Meridian team if it would Hay down" and permit Vicksburg to win. Anderson declined to join in the festivities and says he told Blackburn what he thought of him.
 Anderson does not make any secret of the deal between Vicksburg and his own team, and Jackson does not doubt he Is telling the truth. The rooters at today's game made great use of the "chicken sup perl incident, and guyed Meridian unmer- cfully They saw gizzard sand shifting from their shoetops, pin feathers sticking from the backs of their necks, drum sticks for bats, and pulley bones" in front of every runner.

Neek SfAYfles Ife Fans
 With q Wonderful Play

Henry Meek, the big Baron catcher. made a worlds record yesterday, and in doing so pulled off the most unusual play ever witnessed in Birmingham, and per- haps never duplicated.
 In the fourth inning, when Montgomery had men on bases, and when hit would have given the visitors the run that would have tied the score, Catcher Hart was at the stick.
 He struck out, but the third strike scrambled between the fingers of Meek S right and throwing hand, tearing the flesh and causing a stream of blood to gush forth
 Hart dashed for the first corner and the men on bases leaped forward in an effort to reach home. With his right hand practically paralyzed, Meek stopped to the ground, grasped the bali in his left. and heaved it to first. It fell to the ground midway between the plate and the corner occupied by Douglass, then bounded forward. By stopping to a con siderable degree and bending to the right of the bag, Douglass scooped the ball to his bosom, and Hart was out. It was a great play. Meek states that he simply took chance and landed.
 Hart's out was the third of the in- ming. Raub succeeded Meek at the be- ginning of the fifth

 In the final heat of the 2-minute pace the horses were sent away while going at about 3-minute gait. The first quarter was paced at 2:21 speed, all the drivers taking it easy and waiting for the brush through the stretch. As result the mile was paced in the ridiculous slow time of 2:11A.

 THE LIFE 0F THE SETTER

Philadelphia, August 7.-Manager Frank Chance of the Chicago Cubs ball team, who is also member of the joint rules committee of the National and American leagues, has come out flat-footed against the style of delivery known as the spit ball." and is instituting a campaign to have legislation passed next winter abol- ishing 1t.
 There are several reasons advanced by Chance for prohibiting the use of this style of delivery. It is hard on catchers injuring their hands; it causes fielders to make many wild throws: it is repulsive both in name and to the view of the spectators. and its abolition would un- doubtedly do much to increase batting

 The calling out of Downey at the plate toward the beginning of the game, when every man about the field, not excluding the Montgomery players, knows that he was safe deprived the Barons of one run to which they were entitled by all the rules of war and politics.
