BONANZA DAYS IN
STORE FOR TONOPAH
Problem of the Dacite Intru-
sion Has Been Worked Out
Vast Bodies of Ore Be
lieVed to Exist Under Fault.

Tonopah was never in better con
dition, physically, than she is at the
present time, and the showing under
ground was never more promising.
The problem of the dacite intrusion
has been practically worked out. and
ii has been demonstrated that there
are ore bodies under the fault which
occurred in the higher levels of
nearly all the mines. The values of
the ore at depth is yet to be deter
mined, but the progress which is be-
ing made in this direction is more
than satisfactory. Mark B. Kerr.
consulting engineer for a number of
properties in the camp, has been here
crrlng the week, and he expresses
himself as well pleased at the condi-
tons underground. Speaking of the
dacite intrusion. and the work that
is going on in regard to it, he said:
We are now prosecuting develop
ment at depth, to ascertain, if pos
sible, the extent of the dacite intru-
sion, which seems TO have had so
great an impression on the veins Of
The everything andesite, twisting and
faulting them in quite a complicated
manner. II seems now from this
part of the development of the mines
as il there might be two dacite in
trusions. Following out the nomen-
%clature of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey report, we can designate
these as the Brougher mountain da-
cite and the eddie mountain dacite.
The Tonopah rhyolite dacite would
seem to be a distinct intrusive form
alton, although closely allied with the
other two. Taking a practical view
CT the situation, it would seem that
ct some point. not yet discovered.
these separate intrusive masses came
together, and that in the center
would be considerably deeper than at
the extreme edges. 1t is these edges,
notably in the West End, Midway
and the Montana Tonopah mines,
that we are now working and exam
ming with some favorable chance of
successfully determining their ex-
tent and relation to each other.
AT these edges. the dacite seems
to point out. so far as developed,
forming sort of tongues. If we can
follow around these tongues and
reach the lower side Of the intrusion
at the points where the intrusion mar
rows, it would seem practically sure
that the quartz veins in the andesite
would be enriched where removed
from the center of disturbance. As
we approach the center, and even at
points where the lower andesite has
been encountered and alteration dis
covered, ealcite displaces the quartz.
Away from the disturbance, quartz
will undoubtedly take the place oi
the c%alcite, and the values in the
andesite should be improved.

hundred level, we are following {

Crown Point Globe.
A.. ID. Myers, who located the ia
NOUS Mohawk mine in Goldfeld and
afterwards sold his interest for an
enormous sum to the men forming
the Goldfield Consolidated Company,
and who is heavily interested in
realty and in mining property in this
district, has just bought a large hold

With these ore bodies proving good

world. 1t is equipped with one of
the finest mills in the country, the
saving of which is between So and
80 per cent, and the cost of operating
in the neighborhood of $3.50 a ton.

WIGS IN COURT.
Bench and Bar In England Stick to
the Traditional Headgear.


the Traditional Headgesr.
American visitors to English court
rooms have been struck by the strange
appearance-strange to their eyes. at
least-of judges and lawyers in wigs.
Times and customs change, but the
judicial wig of England remains IN
changed. Bench and bar hold faith
fully to the traditional headgear.
Until 1927 human hair was used in
making the wigs, which were heavily
powdered when worn, but since then
white horsehair has been used. While
English horsehair is considered the
best, the wig:nakers buy supplies in
France, Russia and even China and
South America.
Every operation in the manufacture
of wigs is by hand except the curling.
and this is done on a small hand curl
ing machine. Most of the wigs run
from twenty one to twenty-four and a
half inches in circumference
The wig of the average member OF
the bar costs $50. Full bottomed wigs
such as are worn occasionally by
judges and the kings counsel and al
ways by the speaker of the house Of
commons, cost about $50.
Few lawyers buy more than one wig

David II. Jones, head of the company,

sheets and much other discriminating
evidence, including a list of the agents
was confiscated.
The California Lottery company
was known in Chicago as Sharrin &

prosecution follows closely the pur-
suit of the Honduras and Kentucky

Depths OF the Sea.
More than half the surface of the
globe is hidden beneath water two
miles deep; 1000, 900 square miles lie
at a depth Of $4,000 feet or more.
Many places have been found Ave
miles and more in depth. The greatest
depth yet sounded Is 1920 feet. near
the island of Guam.
If Mount Everest, the worlds high

Morgan, of South Bend, Ind, we'll

South Bend. Mrs. Metsker confessed
to Prosecutor Bresnahan last night
She stated that she got the right

her husband, the theory upon which
the authorities first began to work.
She labored under the impression
that Morgan had been enticing her
husband away from home and to larks
with women.
The shooting took place at the home
of Mrs. Mae Greene, near the heart of
the city. Mr.. and Mrs. Metsker are
under arrest. Judging from develop

NIGHT SESSION At
GARFIELD SCHOOL
It Will Be for Accommodation
Of Parents Who Never
See Children at Work.
COMMITTEE IS IN CHARGE.
ALL ARRANGEMENT FOR THE
EVENT WILL BE COMPLETED
IN THE NEAR FUTURE-OTHER
GARFIELD SCHOOL NEWS.

After a thorough discussion. the
council by a unanimous vote, decided
to adopt the recommendation of the So
cial education committee TO hold an
evening session of school again this
term. The matter has also been re
feTred TO the pupils and they are al
most unanimously in favor of the ac-
ton, AS soon as arrangements can be
completed it will be held. The object
is to give the parents. especially faith
ers, an opportunity to see the school at
work. Only patrons will be invited
TO attend. Every effort will be made
to have conditions normal so that the
visitors may gain d fair idea of the
aim and plan of the school. The So
cial committee is now at work plan
ming the details of the evening.
The games in the gymnasium closed
this week and all eagerly moved to the
play grounds. Several games OF
baseball were played by teams of the
school league. Tennis also came in for
its share of patronage. More than
200 pupils have expressed a desire to
use the tennis courts and it is hard &c
see how all can be accommodated. A.
the high school pupils also desire time
on these courts, it seems that steps
should be taken to make additional
ones. A teacher from Garfield is il
charge each evening and on Saturday
| to accommodate the Garfield pupils.
At a recent meeting of the schoo
council the physical education com
mittee was authorized to spend s2J fol
additional outdoor equipment. 1t i'm
mediately ordered One-half dozen base
| balls, a dozen tennis balls, six new
| fielders' mits. bats and other supplies
With the supply on hand, this assures
plenty of material. Any pupil in thu
school is entitled to the use Of this a
well as the equipment in the gymnasi
UNI on the payment of fifteen cents
athletic dues. The school finance
never were in better shape.
