K. OF c. BALL
ON The Tenth

The knights of Columbus are
working hard for the success of their
anniversary ball, which takes place
on the evening of December 10 in
the Miners Exchange hall. The
committee on arrangements is leav-
ing no stone unturned in making the
ball the event of the season, and
everything possible will be attended
to that will be for the comfort of
the guests. It is thought that there
will be over a hundred members of
the Goldfeld order present to assist
in making the evening an enjoyable
one.

new ORE BODY
STRUCK IN The
TONOPAH Mine

While doing development work
several days ago on the fifth level of
the Red Plume shaft of the Tonopah
Mining company, and at a point
about 500 feet west of the shaft, a
ledge was encountered several days
ago. Last night when asked about
the strike and the extent of the
ledge superintendent Blackburn
stated that the dimensions of the
body were unknown as the ledge
runs diagonally with the drift. He
estimated the value of the ore at
about SIS ton.
From other sources it was learned
that the width of the ledge is about
three and half feet and the values
are exceptionally high, one assay CIV
ing over $500 to the ton. The char
acter of the ore is blue sulphide.
1t has been the policy of the Of
ficials of the Tonopah Mining COM
pany in the past to keep the facts OF
new strikes and important happen
ings from the public, for what rea-
son we are unable to determine.
Such happenings should be given the
widest publicity, for it is from these
authentic reports that life is added
to the camp, and many outsiders are
attracted by the reports of such
strikes.

THE ENORMOUS
WORK Of MAIL
DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-Exclusive
of registered matter, the railway
mail service during the last fiscal
year handled 81, 650,S49,745 pieces
of mail matter, according to the an
nual report of Second Assistant Post
master General Stewart. Because of
practically illegible addresses 49,
565, 1861 pieces required special at
tention, with the result that 18,98S,-
626 were returned to senders or cor
rected and forwarded.
A new division of the railway mail
service, embracing the states of Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho and the
territory of Alaska is recommended.
Favorable consideration of con-
gress is asked to recommendation
that postal clerks be allowed travel
ing expenses while away from their
homes, and also that postal clerks
who have become unfit for actual
service by reason of advanced age or
physical disability incurred in the
line of duty be retired with suitable
pay.
For the transportation of all
classes of mail matter the depart
ment during the year expended $751;
157,720. A considerable saving was
effected in connection with the
weighing of mail in the southern
states. In consequence of the use of
the new divisor the railroads re-
ceived $434,730 less than would have
been paid under the old system. AL
/ together the new system of weighing
has resulted so far in a net saving of
$2,229,10S per annum. Because of
the equalization of the rates of pay
to transportation companies, the re-
port states, more equitable basis OF
compensation has been reached, with
results mutually satisfactory to car
rier and the department.
Still further economies are record.

flee car service resulted In the re-
adjustment of the car space on 9

saving of $272.040 during the year

A Big SHOW
At The butler
MONDAY night

Local talent, in conjunction with
the Butler theater cast, will appear
on one mammoth bill at the Butler
theater Monday night for the purpose
of raising sufficient funds to bring a
brst-class musical comedy company
in from San Francisco.
The Butler theater and it's pretty
little musical comedies has always
been great acquisition to Tonopah.
The management is cognizant of the
fact that the people of Tonopah that
patronize the local playhouse de-
mand beauty chorus. Through I'M
fortunate circumstances, regarding
the booking of the last chorus, the
house has been forced to run the
past week without this valuable ac-
cessory In order to secure a first
class chorus a certain amount of
money must be raised. So it was ar
ranged by the attaches of the But
Ter to present mammoth bill at adj
vanced prices to enable the local
playhouse to keep up its high STAN
dard OF plays.
In connection with the Butler
theater cast, fifteen talented local
performers from Goldfield and Tone
pah will appear; four four-round
boxing events by the best pugilists in
the city, also four reels of new and
novel animated pictures will be
shown.
The performance will start promt-
| ly at p. M. and will let out at II p
m. In word there will be three
hours of solid fun and amusement.

DEATH VALLEY
"SCOTTY" AGAIN
HAS BIG ROLL

Scotty than dug up another and much
larger roll of bills, but the bartender
was satisfied to do the treating.
Scotty was only in town for a
couple of days, but during his stay
he showed the people here that he
was a good entertainer and made
flashes of money that would even
made Rockefeller envious.
Death Valley Scotty is now located
at Black Canyon, short distance
from Humboldt House, on the South
ern Pacific. AS that section is one of
the richest in the state he may have
something good to spring. 1t was in
this canyon a few months ago that
Indian Ike found a mine that is fab
ulously rich in gold and from which
ore is being taken that is dazzling
with the yellow metal.
Scotty left last evening for New
York City, stating that he was going
on a business mission. He is not
making the trip in a special train,
similar to the one he made his repu-
tation on a few years ago, but is
travelling in the good old fashioned
way, leaving on the regular No. 6. It
is not known what his business is at
the metropolitan city, but it is be-
lieved that he has an option on one
of the richest properties in Black
Canyon and is going after the money

his old-time propensity for spending
money and royalty entertaining his
friends, Death Valley Scotty, who is
now a full fiedged resident of this
county. blew into Winnemucca last
Saturday from the Humboldt range,
where he now has his camp located.
Scotty was a real live one while here
and showed some class. He stepped
into an uptown resort the other night
and, approaching the bartender, said,
Can tramp get drink here?" The
mixologist looked at him for min
ute, sized him up, and finally re-
piled: well, / guess so; what will
you have?" Scotty took good
sized Jolt of whisky and when he had
it downed he apologized thusly: 81
don't want it for nothing; l was only
joshing,'' and at that he put his hand
in his pocket and pulled out roll
of green backs and taking one from
the lot threw it down on the bar.
The bartender picked it up to make
the change and throwing it back to
Scotty said ut was my treat, we

money"

bill and the bartender didn't happen
