A SPLENDID CONCERT.
Oxford Orphanage Singing Class
Delights a Large Audience
Monday Evening - Liberal
Contribution Made.


The concert given in the Lum-
berton Opera House Monday eve
ming by the Oxford Orphanage
Singing Class was very much en-
joyed. as concerts by classes from
this Institution always are. The
children gave evidences of care
full and excellent training and
every number on the programme
was well received. Ten girls and
four boys compose the class and
they make a winning team. The
interests and reputation of the
well-knoWn institution from
which they come are safe in their
hands, for no one can witness
the performance given by them
without being convinced that the
institution is doing a great work.
There were 314 paid admis-
sions to the Opera House, the
door receipts being $84.4 As. Just
before the concluding piece on
the programme Mr.. Il. d. Cald-
we'll conducted a collection for
the Orphanage, and the entire
amount raised, including door re-
ceipts, was $212.60. Lumber
ton has a Statewide reputation
for liberality in contributing to
such causes, and its reputation
did not suffer in this instance.
Miss Sattie Marler, a teacher
at the Orphanage, and Prof. J.
H. Highsmith, manager of the
Class, are accompanying the
children on their tour. After the
collection was taken Prof. High
smith thanked the audience for
the liberal contribution. Tues
day morning the Class went to
Fairmont, where a concert was
given Tuesday evening. While
in Lumberton the children were
entertained at various homes.

WORK PROGRESSING
AT ELY CENTRAL

Consulting Engineer Ed Hoffman is
simply "whooping things up on the
Ely Central estate. He is now working
four shifts of miners in the hig shaft
down on the Eureka Fraction. The
shaft is wet and disagrecable, and he
has found that by, shortening the time
complish better results for the money
expended than by the longer hours
which are the custom in all other mines,
The three accompaniment shaft on the
Clipper is now down sixty feet, all in
orc, and is dropping down at the rate
of from five to six feet per day Two
churn drills are also pounding away
day and night on the eastern end of
the property, and it is expected that
they will soon strike the sulphide zone.
The company is working fifty men and
there are no drones IN the bunch.-Ely

Production.

1t is stated that it would be possible
for the Nevada Consolidated to almost
double the output of its mines II 1T
were go desired, the Veteran, now idle,
being good for at least 25,000,00O
pounds yearly, and the Ruth mine for
a similar tonnage. With the advent
of the new year the Consolidation Will
be on a producing basis of 75,OOo,OO0
pounds per year, all of which is com
ing from the copper pit and is being
mined by steam shovels.
Reports state that the company for
the present at least, will not under
take the construction of another unit
TO its concentrating plant, which IL is
estimated would cost about Sl.O0O,O 900:
The company is said to have adopted
the policy Of conserving its resources
and later making improvements from
this fund rather than to issue bonds for
increased facilities.

FINDS NEVADA IN
PROSPEROUS SHAPE
State Official Notices Improve
ment Since Beginning
of Year.

j. T. Haley. state bullion tax and
license agent for the state Of Nevada,
has completed his trip of official in
spection through ten counties of that
state. and upon his return to Reno he
stated that he had not found one
dead - district in all of his travels.
Mr., Haley, while in Salt Lake recently
on business connected with the Nevada
companies organized under the laws OF
Utah, spoke in enthusiastic terms of
the general activity in the mining in
dustry, and expressed belief that ex-
tensive prospecting might open up IN
western Utah n continuation Of the Ne
vada gold belt.
In speaking Of his recent trip, Mr..
Haley says: "All sections of Nevada
continue to show improvement, and ac-
tive development work is going on
everywhere In the majority of the
counties there arc producing mines.
The conditions noted are in marked
contrast to those that prevailed earlier
in the year. More work is being done
and better results arc rewarding the
work. Little is being said and there
is no ild-cattlng or stock -jobbing
operations to speak Of, but men are be-
ing employed.
Big Annual Production.
"The estimate of an annual produc-
.l'u ~ oAICsS VI sou,uuOiuUU Will, Ot-
lieve, be fulfilled for the state, as there
is recorded increase in production to
date Of over 100 per cent of former
years. The bullion tax collected for
the state to date this year is approx
mately S175,000, and on the basis of
production the record for taxes will be
far exceeded.
White Pine Leads.
There are more miners employed in
White Pine county than in any other
county in the state" said Mr. Haley,
land visitor thero would be struck
with the conviction that the county is
ON the eve of great era of prosperity
believe. that 1T is destined to be the
center of the copper industry of tho
world, and 1t is being developed as
fast as men and money can do it. There
is an immense field Of copper ore there,
and it can be handled as economically
as anywhere in the country
During his trip Agent Haley visited
Churchill, Humboldt, Lander, Eureka,
Elko, White Pine, Lincoln, Clark,
Esmeralda and Nye counties.
