Progress Made in TOnOpah
Mines During the Past Week

show the different drifts, crosscuts
and shafts extended ASP feet. Of this
amount the Mizpah is credited with
sol feet, the Silver Top with 121 II
feet and the Red Plume with twenty
nine and one-half feet. The Mizpah
shaft was advanced twelve feet and
is now down 1887 feet below the sur
face. The formation in the bottom
continues to be rhyolite and dacite in
composition. There has been no in
crease in the flow of water during the
last three weeks, and the Smith-Vaile
sinking pump handles the 60-gallon
Inflow with ease. The work of sink
/ ing the Red Plume shaft was resum-
ed the latter part of the week, the
station at the 5O0-foot point being
completed. The shaft was. sunk five
feet and is now down 527 feet.

GOLD REEF GETS
in SHIPPING ORE
REGULAR PRODUCTION EXPECT
ED TO BEGIN WITHIN THE
NEXT TEN DAYS.

GOLDFIELD. April 10. P.
Carroll, who is interested at Gold
Reef, was in Goldfield Thursday, and
stated that a number of the proper
ties in that section were in ore, and
that the district which created some
excitement during it's early history
was gradually recovering its old time
activity and would shortly show the
world that it is quite worthy of at
tention. Mr.. Carroll stated that ore
was being sacked on the Toggery
group, and that con the Gold Seam
and the Horseshoe ground, ore was
in sight, and the company behind
the property had made arrangements
for machinery which would be on the
ground within ten days, when ship
ments will begin.
The Sperry brothers, operating on
the Preston ground, and the Butchers
Mining company's block, are also
among the promising looking proper
ties.
I'VE feel very much encouraged
with the outlook" said Mr.. Carroll
land the fact that ore is now being
prepared for shipment is an evidence
that we do not have to depend OF
anything except the merit OF GU

MIDWAY.

Stringers continue to be cut on the
635-foot level of the Midway in the
drift sent out to prospect the virgin
ground. Every indication points to
a large body of ore being in the close
vicinity of this drift and startling de-
velopments are looked for daily. The
stock price has advanced considerab-
ly since this work has started and
when the vein is cut brokers expect
the price to double. No change is
reported in the remaining workings,
which produced their regular amount
of shipping ore.

the ore as fast as depth is being at
tanned, and it is very probable that
you will hear more from Gold Reef
before long. The recent financial
condition, of course, injured us, since
it kept much money from coming in
to our territory; but we are getting
over that and in a short time we ex-
pect to begin to come into our own"

There is nothing new to report in
the work conducted in the Extension

DOWN WITH A THUD
Mercury Took Drop Yesterday
from A to IL Above, All
in Few Hours.
PUTS NEW LIFE INTO TRADE
Fitting Climax TO Record Succession
of Stormy Sundays-River
Frozen at St. Paul.

After nearly a week of trying, the
weather suddenly turned colder yes
terday morning. About z o'clock, af-
ter warm, rainy night, the wind sud-
denly whipped to the west, with
inorthward angle, and there was a pre-
lcipitate decline in mercury. Starting
at "A degrees, the thermometer went
down at the rate of several degrees an
hour, till minimum of IL degrees was
reached during last night. The cold
wave was accompanied by snow, sleet,
and a high wind that caused at least
as much suffering as the ordinary be-
llow-zero blizzard does in the dead Of
winter. The temperature this morning
was the lowest of an unusually warm
fall. A slightly more moderate condi-
ton, with snow. is the prospect for to-
might, according to Observer Sherier
of the local weather station.
At ST. Paul the Mississippi river is
frozen over, according to reports from
the weather bureau, while at this point
there was much running ice today.
Ninth Bad Sunday.
Yesterdays blizzard was a fitting
climax to a long succession on gloomy
Sundays that have continued without
interruption through October and No
yember. Those who have been watch
Ing the weather closely say that yester-
day was the ninth consecutive Sunday
on which rain has fallen at some time
during the "a hours, with two or three
exceptions the downpour coming dur
ing daylight.
There is general disposition to vel
come the drop in temperature. 1t has
frozen up a sea of mud and put new
life into the holiday trade, besides Gre
ating demand for the seasonable sta,
pies that have been lying unsold In
the retailers hands.

Mercer County Furnishes One

NO FUNDS FOR TREATMENT
lizard to Die Knowing There Is a
Cure" Girl Writes-Stamps
Are on Sale Here.

The following letter is only sam
pie of the many which Frank E. Wing,
superintendent of the Chicago Tubercu-
losis Institute, which is the Red Cross
agent for Illinois, receives. 1t comes
from Mercer county girl, and reads:
81 have taken the liberty to write
to you for advice. The doctor tells me
l am in the first stages Of consumption
1 have spent what little savings I had
for doctor bills. The doctor wants to
send me to the tent colony at Ottawa
He says 1 will come back well and
strong, but It will cost $500, and l
have not got 1t, neither can my father
raise 1t. What l wanted to know is, is
there not some state institution for
poor patients for the treatment of tu-
berculosis? A friend told me to write
and ask you; that you could tell me If
anybody could. Mr.. Wing, II you can
do anything for me, or tell me what to
do, you will forever have my lasting
gratitude 1t Is hard to die knowing
there is a cure and not having the
money to fight the disease. If you are
not too busy l wish you would answer
this letter. will be anxiously waiting
for an answer. Hoping you will ans
wer me as soon as you possibly can, 1
remain, yours truly"
Referred to Local Association.
MT Wing did answer this letter at
once, as he does all others, but what
could he say? There is no state SAM
forum where poor patients can go for
free treatment He referred the case
to the Tri-City Anti-Tuberculosis asso-
citation at Rock Island, the nearest re-
lief station of the kind to Mercer
county. and Miss Edna L. Foley, super
intendent of the Chicago Institutes
nurses, wrote personal letter of ad-
vice and encouragement. What is to
be done for the poor Mercer county
girl and the thousands who are like
her all over the state?
The answer is: Buy the Christmas
stamp. Sell the Christmas stamps.
Help in the work Of educating the state
to protect it's citizens from the awful

Your opportunity right here at home
to aid in the great work is offered

elusive right to sell the Red Cross
