the formation was known. From pres
emit appearances, the bulk of the water
seems to be coming in from the sides
of the shaft, and it is possible that the
wet belt, which was over 100 feet wide,
has been passed through.
In order to determine whether this
is a fact, a short crosscut is being sent
out west from the l3S0-foot point in
the shaft and an effort will be made
to catch the water at this point. If
successful the balance of the sinking
in tine shaft will be dry work, which
will permit of much faster progress,
as it will do away with the handling
of the sinking pumps. The Red Plume
shaft was lowered 20 feet and is down
6I9 feet below the collar, or about niue
feet below the 7OO-foot level of the
Mizpah. After sinking a few more
feet in order to put in a stump, work
in the bottom of the shaft will be sus-
pended for the present and a station
cut at the 600-foot point. The bottom
of the shaft is still in broken ground
showing some quartz carrying no val
ues. The formation is grey in color
and shows less oxidation than here
tofore. In the lateral work now IN
progress above the 60U-foot level a
very promising vein was encountered
this week by the south crosscut IN the
easterly end Of the 54O-foot level on
the Silver Top claim, some good mill
ing ore appearing in the face. The ex-
tent of this find is not known at this
writing, owing to the small amount of
work done on it.

TONOPAH TO HAVE THREE
NEW MILLS BUILT SOON

Reports from Tonopah, seeming,
well based, are to the effect that Ton
opah is to nave three new mills within
comparatively short time, and, if tn,
Desert mill of the Tonopah Mining com
pany is moved from Millers station I,
Tonopah, it really means four NOR,
mills for that camp-a total of FIVE.
The Tonopah Extension ompany ha.
already started work on the construc
tion of a 100 stamp mill in Tonopah
preparations being made to install the
foundation for the first unit Of &c
stamps. The new mill will be construct
ed on the unit system, 80 stamps being
put in commission some time during
next September, then another battery
of 80 added, and finally the balance of
the 100 stamp plant.
For some time there had been talk
of the MacNamara and West End prop
critics constructing a joint mill, but now
this talk has come to an end, and we
are informed that the MacNamara COM
panv will construct its own mill and
that the West End has also decided TO
build a milling plant. Nothing has
been given out as to the size of these
mills as yet, but they will probably be
Of from 80 to 40 stamps in size.
The Montana of Tonopah already has
its mill, a 40-stamp affair, which is a
model and which effects a saving not to
be surpassed by any mill in the state.
The plant is equipped with stamps, con-
eentration, amalgamation and cyanide
process, as well as tub mills, and we
learn that it is being equipped to han
die its W concentrates, thus handling
all its own product, from ore to bullion.
The Tonopah Mining company plant
at Millers, of 100 stamps, is also com
p%ietely equipped, and has been doing a
SItdb uCdl VI SustVAh
practically all the ore from the Jim
Butler, the West End, and the Tonopah
Extension companies, as well as from
the several mines of the Tonopah Min
ing estate. Much ore from districts
tributary to the Tonopah district has
also been handled at Millers. Removal
of the plant to Tonopah will mean the
elimination of railway charges from the
coast Of ore treatment, and also that
great quantities of ore which is on the
dumps in the Tonopah and adjacent
districts-just under shipping grade,
can be milled at a profit.
With the Montana, Tonopah, West
End, Tonopah Extension and MacNa-
mara properties having their W mills,
right at the mines, equipped to handle
the ore, Tonopah will enter upon a per-
iod of greater prosperity than ever be-
fore in it's history.

Tonopah Mining Company.

The usual progressive work was re-
ported from this property, and while
nothing of a sensational nature has
~transpired, several improvements are
noted in the newer workings. This
company has adopted an extensive
plan of prospecting on the different
levels above the 700-foot as well as
sending two shafts down to continue
the work of opening up the ground at
depth. During the past week a total
of 1856 feet of new ground were broken,
227 on the Mizpah claim, 1861 on the
Silver Top and 42ha on the Red Plume
The three-compartment Mizpah shaft
has reached a depth of 1886 feet, an
advance of Is feet for the week, the
formation in the bottom still being
rhyolite, the same as has been encoun-
tered since the sinking of the shaft
was resumed at the 900-foot point. For
the past rs feet the water has main
tanned a steady flow of from So to 80
gallons a minute, for the handling of
which large pumps were installed. The
bottom of the shaft is now four feet

down about five years ago, so that up

Development work during the past
week was pushed ahead with increased
yigor, a total Of 113 feet Of new ground
having been broken. There is but lit
tie change to note in the various work
inps, with the exception OF the stope
at the top of No. s raise from the 4oo-
foot level, which is showing constant
Improvement, and there is now exposed
the finest body Of high grade ore yet
found in the mine. While the entire
body carries excellent values, there are
streaks and punches throughout that
are solid metal, some of the assays go,
ing as high as 2200 ounces in silver and
SO ounces in gold. The stope is being
extended east and west, with both ends
exposing high grade ore. The ship
ments of ore for the week amounted to
So tons.

the housewife has only the separator to
wash as compared with number of
pans and crooks to wash and milk to
care for. Still another advantage con-
nected with the use of separator is
that the butter made is much better as
it allows the cream to be separated
while fresh and sweet and it can then
be soured for churnipg and much bet
ter quality of butter will be made than
where cream raised by gravity is used.
The increase of popularity of the farm
separator is shown by the striking fact
that in 1900 there were only about 800
in Missouri, while at the present time
there are over 10000 in regular use.
There is no doubt that within few
years the use Of the separator will he
as common over the entire state as they
are already in few loca lities and they
will be considered as necessary part Of
the farm equipment as is the moving
machine or corn planter.

The Cream Separator on the
Farm.

The greatest single improvement ever
made in the way of handling milk has
been the cream separator. In speaking
of a cream separator we mean one that
separates the cream by centrifugal
force and not a tin can in which water
is added to the milk that is often i'm
properly called a separator. When the
cream separator first came into use
most farmers were inclined to look up.
on it as an impractical machine that
would not stand such usage as it would
receive on the farm. Experience has
shown, however, that these ideus are en-
tirely wrong. There is no machine used
on the farm that serves the purpose for
which it is made any better than does
good separator. 1t is not a toy and sell
dom gets out Of order. On the other
hand, when given reasonable care Shere
is no machine used on tho farm that will
give longer service than the separator
when we consider the fact that most
machinery on the farm is used only a
few days during the year and the sep
arator is used twice each day. Some
separators are still in use in this state
that lave been used regularly for 10
years without having more than a few
dollars repairs during this time. " ith
reasonable care separator should run
from to 6 years with practically no eX
pense for repairs. After that time by
the expenditure of a few dollars for re-
pairs and by replacing some parts, the
machine will be in good condition for
several years more service. The old
shallow pan or crock I Ian of getting the
cream from the milk results, on an av-
| erage, in loss of about one.fourth of
! the entire amout of cream; that is to
! say, in using pan or crock in which to
raise the cream every fourth COW is kept
to supply the cream that is lost in the
skimmilk. To put it in another way,
three cows, where a separator is used,
are equivalent to four wnere the cream
is raised in pan. This saving in cream
is sufficient to pay for separator in a
years time where as many as 10 cows
are MIXED. Further, not only is one
fourth additional cream secured with the
separator but the work of taking care
of the milk is much reduced. The ma
chine is usually placed in small room
adjoining the barn or other suitable To-
cation The mixers at milking time
take the separator parts from the house,
after milking they separate the milk
feed the fresh warm skimmilk to the
calves and pigs and return a small can
with the cream, and the separator parts
for washing, to the house. In this way

JOHN P. REESE is PRESIDENT
SUCCEEDS WATERMAN IN IOWA
MINE OPERATORS ASSN.
Duties Are Enlarged and He VIII
Spend Entire Time in interests
Of Association.

Des Moines, Dec. l5.-The Iowa
Mine Operators Association in their
Meeting yesterday abolished the Office
of commissioner and added the duties
of that office to that of the president,
and elected John P. Reese of this city
to the leadership of the organization
for the coming year. II. l.. Waterman
of Ottumwa, the retiring president, was
strongly urged by the members of the
association to accept another term, but
refused because of the new duties i'm
posed by the constitution adopted last
night.
The convention also combined the
duties of secretary with those of treas
urei.
Chief among the changes made in
the constitution is the section enlarg-
ing the duties and powers of the pres
ident. He will now perform not only
the usual duties of the head of the or
ganzation, but will represent the oper-
ators in all disputes which may arise
with the miners of the district and will
signed to the commissioner. The pres
ident is now placed on a salary and
will be required to devote his entire
time and attention to the affairs of
the organization.
Another change made by the men,
bers was the rediyision of the state in
to sub-districts. Formerly the district
was divided into five parts, but now
it will follow the system followed by
the mine workers and be divided into
will he composed Of Taylor, Page, Adj
ans and Wayne counties in Iowa and
Putnam county, Missouri. In the Sec
ond district will be Wapello, Marion,
Monroe, Davis, Van Buren,, Jefferson,
Warren, Scott, Lucas, Manaska and
Keokuk counties, and in the third Polk
and Jasper counties. The fourth will
comprise Boone, Dallas, Greene and
Webster counties.
Although discussing at length the ad-
visibility of merging the coal operat-
ors' association with the Commercial
Coal Operators association, the MEM
bers of the convention took no definite
action on this matter but left the final
disposition of it to their executive
committee.
That the railroad rates for hauling
Iowa coal to other portions of the coun.
try should be materially lowered in
order to put the operators from Iowa
on an equal footing with the operators
from other states was the sentiment
expressed by the delegates to the con-
vention. They declared their inten-
ton of attempting to force the rail-
roads to comply with their wishes in
this respect.
1t was emphatically declared by the
officers Of the organization that no
plans were formulated regarding the
wage scale to be submitted to the min
ers at the conference next March.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are:
President-John P. Reese, of Des
Moines.
Vice-president - David Denning, of
Cincinnati.
Secretary and treasurer - Edward
Gray, Des Moines.
Executive board-First district. i.
