JACOBS HAD COMBINATION.

The local police we're searching
the city last evening for n c. H.
Jacobs of Manhattan. 1t appears
that Jacobc and another are in the
butcher business in the northern
camp. Jacobs alone possessed
knowledge of the combination of
the safe. Yesterday evening Jacobs
took an auto for T%onopah. When
his absence was noted, the partner
telephoned the officers here to APP
prehend the a However he was
not to be found.
Whether ore not the man sought
for has done anything wrong is not
known at this time, but his actions
would indicate that it might be just

left behind that Jacobs be found.

the vicinity of the Halifax mine he
alighted from the automobile and

at the end of an hour his honor
was considerably in doubt as to who
was the defendant in the suit aud
who the plaintiff was. Mr.. Gasseni
stated that Tori had talked about
her while Tori said the lady hal
spread lies about him. Witnesses
for both parties s~ubstantiated the
evidence in such a n that this
court discharged the defendant
from custody and admonished the

For the most part the work being

one of great extent and richness

nothing in your columns that boz

lines the people who are inter

mates to enter into the news that
is sent forth or comes in from
there.
II know of nothing now that
would be Of interest to our read
ers; your article of this morning
gives about the latest facts. l can
only say that a great deal of work
is being done. A number of leas-
ers are at work, while as many
more are making preparations to
begin an active campaign in the
very near future. For the most
part these men begin operations on
ore, a fact that adds much conf
dence.
The district is highly miner
allied and is a net work of veins.
At the surface these veins do not
show any great width, but as depth

high standard.

been completed and 1t is irst-class
in every respect. There will be no
trouble from now on for the auto

mishap.

CHARLES KNOX HAS
ARRIVED IN TONOPAH

President Charles A. Knox of the
Montana-Tonopah mine was an ar
rival in Tonopah yesterday from his
Berkeley home. He at once repair
ed to the Montana club, where he
lounged around preparatory to a
trip through the underground work
ings of the mine.
To a representative of the b.
nanZa Mr.. Knox stated that no SIG
nificance attached to his visit at
this time.
When asked if there was any par
ticular news he could give to the
public concerning the big property,
he stated that the Montana-Tonc-
pah was speaking for itself.
Mr.. Knox was most a~ssuredly
right when he made that statement.
The mine never looked better than
1t does at the present time. The
Indebtedness which hung over the
property for a long time brought
about by the erection of the COM
pany's mill has been paid off. The
next meeting of the board of dlrec-
tors will be characterized by a re
port that will show the property to
be in the best possible shape. The
report is about ready at this time.
In addition to reciting what has
been done since the last meeting %

estimating the amount of tonnage
that may be extracted monthly.

THINK WELL OF
GEORGES CANYON

That Georges canyon is attract
ing widespread attention is evil
denced by the fact that William
Mikulich is receiving kilograms
from various parts of the union
asking reservations of stock and
town lots. Yesterday Mr.. Mikulich
received a telegram from a Boston
gentleman requesting the former to
reserve 1000 shares of the stock of
the big company as well as a corner
lot.
This looks as though Georges
canyon was well thought of. Re-
ports are certainly Of the most OPP
timistic nature. A large portion OF
the holdings there are being work
ed by leasers. That few If any OF
them are resting on their shovsls
is further evidence that there is
something there. The leasers have
gotten in there to do things and not
simply to speculate; their activities
are bringing the section to the front
in splendid shape.

WRITES POEM WITH
TONOPAH AS THEME

The following from the Goldfield
News, speaks of a lady who has
taken up her residence in this city:
Mrs. NJ. C.. Watson has gone to
Tonopah to reside and her genial
presence will be missed by many %
the ladies of this city. The lady is
a fluent writer and has many poems
and stories typical of the desert.
Her friends are treasuring a lately
issued postal card, with the follow.
ing poem, above a typical desert
picture, showing the barren, Jagged
mountain ranges:
TONOPAH
Saw-toothed and jagged and broken.
The desert mountains rise,
Black, and blasted and lifeless.
Sharpely etched on the skies.
Long had they guarded the treasure
Buried and covered deep.
Under the granite and basalt.
Lining each rocky steep.
Grim and silent and brooding,
They kept their secret well,
Never a voice of the desert,
Lifted itself to tell.
Then came the men from the borders
Bronzed, and dauntless and bold
Unafraid of the loney wastes,
They sought for the hidden gold
Saw-toothed and jagged and broken
The desert mountains frown
On the t~ireless work of the miners
On the roofs of the CROWNS
town.
They hear the %throbbing of engines
They see the traffic of men,
Where only the silence and vastnesI
OF the desert wastes had been.

PROFESSOR JENNY AND
WIFE HAVE RETURNED

Professor and Mrs. w. P. Jenny
have returned to Tonopah after an
absence of three months. They are
again domiciled in the Wingfeld
home in Central street.
Mr.. Jenney was called to Butte,
Montana las a witness in the .cele-
brated case of st. Louis Mining and
Milling company VS.. the Montana
Mining company, Limited, of Lon
don. The case has been before the
court for twenty-five years. This
last court controversy makes the
fourth time the matter has been be-
fore the federal tribunals. The
point at issue was the apex ques-
ton which for years has caused
much litigation in the great copper
camp.
The suit involved a large amount
of ore taken from the Drum Lum-
NOR ground which apexed in the
st. Louis ground. The verdict was
in favor of the st. Louis people who
were given judgment for nearly
$250,000. Many of the most emf
nent engineers In the west were in
attendance upon the trial as expert
witnesses. Professor Jenney was
among the number, being called by
the plaintiffs.
The Drum Lummon property is
believed to have produced $35, 000,-
900. AT this time the general opin-
ion is that the mine has been work
ed out. From the 1000-foot level to
the 1600-foot point not a pound of
ore was extracted.
The case was tried before Judge
Hunt, formerly governor Of Porto

PRESIDENT OF MCNAMARA
MINE is IN TONOPAH

President Joe Josephs of the Mac
Namara Mining company was an ar
rival from San Francisco yesterday
morning and spent yesterday in a
trip through the underground
workings of the big property. Mr..
Josephs was highly pleased with the
conditions in the mine. He speaks
very optimistically concerning the
future of the property as well as its
present status. He says that If the
present splendid showing continues,
it will not be a great while until
the mine is on a dividend-payine
basis. The monthly tonnage sent
to the mills now amounts to about
1000 tons.
1t may not be generally known
that Mr.. Josephs recently purchased
the holdings of "Borax" Smith in
the property, amounting to $4,000
shares. Mr.. Josephs paid 25 cents
