Women as Chemists.
From the London Mail.


1T is inexpedient publicly to encourage
women to adopt chemistry as a profess
sional pursuit"
In this concise way is expressed the
view of those members of the Chemical
Society of Great Britain who disapprove
of the proposal to allow women to be-
come members. Out of thirty four hum
dred papers read on personal researches
during the last thirty-ffve years. only
twenty-three have been contributed by
women alone. There is growing desire.
however, on the part of many of our
leading scientists to admit women chem
lists to membership. and. rs the wish has
met with the strongest opposition from
other members. the question is being put
to ballot Mime. Curie Is at present The
only woman member. and she has been
made merely an honorary fellow with
neither voting powers nor eligibility for

E w REPRESENTATIVE ON
CLOSING OF TONOPAH MINES

Tonopah, Dec. H. Especial Sew
eral days ago | read in newspapers ear
rying Associated Press correspondence
searehead articles under a Reno date
line which depicted a sad future for
Tonopah. The name of the principal
mine, Mizpah, was given its old
Hebraie signifcance-God be with you
till we meet again.
These articles were to the effect that
the mines of Tonopah were to be closed
down on account of the low price of
silver.
Should such an evil fall upon the
daddy of Southern Nevada's mining
camps it would be a sad day indeed for
the state. Tonopah is today the princi-
pal producer of Nevada, pending the
time when the Florence and Consol-
idated mines of Goldfeld are in full
swing and the five ore purchasers and
treaters of the mother camp are hand
ling their thousand and more tons of ore
daily
Not considering the possibility of the
un%truthfulness of the Associated Press
dispatch, l hurried to Tonopah to find,
by conversation with mine managers
and personal observation of the physical
condition of the mines, the status of af-
fairs.
SO far as the rhine managers are con-
cerned, they are angered to the man
slaughter point over the shutdown story
and are unanimous and s%tertorous in
declaring that such a course was never
arrived at, thought of, or justified in
the remotest degree.
What if silver falls to the two-bit
marke 1t would not in any way affect
the operation of T~onopah's mines, for
the forty per cent of gold content would
still pay operating expenses and the
silver bullion could be kept in cold
storage until the white metal gets out
of the financial doldrums.
The physical aspect of the mines
themselves could scarcely be improved
upon. The hoists are worked to capac-
ity and the waste dumps grow but i'm
perceptably. T%onopah has had its de-
velopment days, it's seedtime Now is
the harvest season, for the ore blocked
cut will busy the army of stopers for a
decade or more.
Fred Corkhill, by the way, is an
original character. So are all old hot
water plugs and desert rats. He has
been mining in Southern Nevada ever
since he quit his job with King solomon
in the only original gold diggings.
