1.-THE LITTLE PRINCESS OF TO-
NOPAH," a TALE OF THIS
DISTRICT

The Little Princess of Tonopah'
is the title of very charming lit
tie romance, written by Aileen
Cleveland Higgins, and just brought
out by the Penn Publishing COM
pany, which is of more or less local
interest All the characters, scenes
and incidents of the story are laid
in this vicinity.
The heroine of the story is a lit
tie girl of some 10 summers, early
deprived of her mother, who comes
west with her father. They settle
near Tonopah, the girl performing
the household duties in tent,
while the old man puts in his time
prospecting. What befalls the
young girl forms the plot of the
story.
Miss Higgins, the author, was for
some eight months a resident of
Tonopah, three years ago. She
came to this state as representa-
tive of Harper's Weekly, and put in
some time at Reno and other points
north gathering data on Nevada's
irrigation possibilities, which later
was embodied in series of articles
published in the Weekly.
When she came here she organ
lied class of young people in gen.
eral literature, as a side-line to her
other work, and was very success
full in her instruction.
Miss Higgins is remembered by a
number of local people then resi-
dent here. She is a young woman
of 25 years, of most engaging per-
sonality, and a niece of Louise Clara
Moulton. Her literary work is all
good. She is the author of vol
ume of children's poems, and has
contributed a great deal to the mag
azines anr periodicals.

OLD NEVADA
PROSPECTOR IS in
FROM COYOTE
d. c. ROSS, \ PIONEER OF To-
NOPAH, RETURNS YES
TERDAY

D. c. Ross, one of the best known
prospectors and mining men in the
state, came in yesterday from the
Coyote district, five miles northeast
of Silver Peak, where he has been
looking after his extensive mining
interests. Jack, Nh. Ross dog and
companion, accompanied his master
to this city.
Mr.. Ross states that there is con
siderable activity in the Coyote dis
trict, although operations are some
what retarded by the extremely cold
weather.
The Goldfeld-Silver Peak com
pany is working a force of is men
on its property, and this force viii
be increased as soon as repairs to
the mill are completed. When the
water pipe to the mill was laid it
was laid on the surface of the
ground, and when the first cold
wave came along, the pipes froze.
Water has been encountered on
the Scotch Lassie property at a
depth of 40 feet, which necessitat-
ed the closing of the plant. Ar
rangements are now under way for
the purchase of pumping apparatus
and it is thought the mine will re
sumo early in the spring.
Mr. Ross, who iourneyed to To-
nopah to look after business, will
return to Coyote today

UNCONSCIOUS
ON THE DESERT
FOR FOUR HOURS
CHARLES LEIGH WALKS TEN
MILES WITH BOTH FEET
BADLY FROZEN

To lie unconscious on the desert
for four hours and then on regain
ing consciousness to walk ten miles
with badly lacerated scalp,
bruised ribs and both feet frozen,
was the experience of Charles
Leach, who was brought TO this city
last evening in an auto from Silver
Glance
Leach left Tonopah about
O'Clock Thursday evening for Silver
Glance where, with Harry Cahill, he
is operating mining property. He
had come to this city to secure feed
for the horses and sacks for ore. as
the partners We're DESTROYS of maxi
ing8 a shipment. After travelling
for about two hours and along to-
ward Z o'clock, Ieech dropped his
gloves to the dashboard and as he
bent down to secure them, the wag-
on passed over a chuck hole, the sud
den jar precipitating him to the
ground As he fell, one of the
horses managed to kick Leech on
the head, inficting a wound several
inches in length. The sudden col
lision with the ground caused an
abrasion over the left ear. The
wagon wheels passed over the chest
of the PROSTATE man.

condition for about four hours and
when he regained his senses he
started to walk to Silver Glance, a
distance of some ten miles. So
cold was the atmosphere, that when
he attempted to rise he found that
HIS ear had frozen to the ground,
the blood from the wounds on his
head having formed a pool and froz-
en-. Both feet were frozen and he
was only able to walk about 100
feet, when he would be forced to
sit down and rest He reached Sill
yer Glance at about II o'clock yes
terday, the 10-mile trip having con-
ry Cahill Immediately started to
Mckinney tanks, where he tele.
phoned this city and a Thomas
auto was sent to bring the injured
man to town. The trip was made
in record breaking time and Leecf
arrived at the Miners hospital al
about Z O'Clock last evening. Drs
Hammond and Berry were waiting
and Immediately rendered the prop
er medical services.
The injured man does not seem
to be much the worse for his exper-
fence save the injuries about the
head, and it is expected that he will
be able to be about in few weeks
Fortunately no ribs were fractured
when the wagon passed over his
body. In addition both wrists were
sprained from the fall to the
ground.
The team which Leech was driv-
ing failed to put in an appearance
at Silver Glance yesterday, and to-
day parties are out searching for
the lost outfit. 1t is supposed the
horses headed toward Rye Patch
and it is possible they will be found
in this vicinity. The two horses be-
long in Manhattan, but advices re-
ceived from Spanish Springs state
that the team did not pass that
point.

aoo.ooo.ooos Worth of Bullion.

Securely locked in the vaults of the Denver mint there is 300,000,000S in gold and silver coin and bullion. The normal amount on hand has usually been about 3O,O0O. .0O0S, but within the past six months there has secretely been received from the San Francisco sub-treasury gold coin to the enormous amount of 2,5OO, ,OOOS, thus making the Denver mint the storehouse for a large share of Uncle Sans treasure.
 It is the announced intention of the secretary of the treasury at Washing ton that Denver is to be made a cen tral point for the storage of govern ment gold and silver.
 Through a system of express ship ments, safeglarded by perfect secrecy, the government last August began sending large amounts of gold coin from the San Francisco sub-treasury to the Denver mint. The first ship ment of cocoon was secretely re ceived here last August.
 The treasure was in charge of Unit ed States Marshal Elliott of San Fran cisco, a number of deputy marshals and 20 Wells-Fargo messengers, sworn in for the special duty. The ship ments have continued, and the last, amounting to 2O,OOOOOOS was received and receipted for by F. NJ. Downer, su perintendent of the Denver mint, few days ago.
 The report of shipments because of danger of war is denied by Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou. The secre- tary gives as the reason for the trans fer that the San Francisco mint is over-supplied and Denver has been chosen as point of storage on account of its excellent system of vaults and to relieve the congestion on the coast.
 Superintendent Downer of the Den yer mint said that it was obvious that the greatest secrecy should be main- tained in connection with the shir- ments on account of temptation to holdups.
 This is the largest transfer of gold in the history of the country.-Denver Mining Record.

A Comparison of Shipments and Ore
 Reserves.

It is very near the season when we shall have spread before us tables of the years progress. These are mat ters we get in condensed form each month. while the resume at the end of the year only tends to magnify the statistics.
 Camps and mines are generally re- garded with relation to their tonnage and their gross and net results. Sel- dom are We treated to q description of the reserves still standing, because these reserves are not popularly re- garded as active. The big mines, and the ones that can be depended upon to disburse about certain rate, are generally operated on basis of keep ing up the reserves. The work pro gresses even after there Is enough ore to ship profitably. lJ this develop ment work keeps well ahead of the shipping capacity of the mine, then there is left a deposit on which to draw. That banked-up reserve may insure operations for months or years. If it is great enough to supply profit for decade or more to come, steps are usually taken to increase the out put.
 Not only is there a distinct advan- tage in knowing that the mine ''could ship for years if no more work were done in blocking out further reserves, ;" but there is a marked economy in having ore blocked out away ahead of shipping requirements. The assaying can be made more thorough, and the average can thereby be maintained. Take, as an illustration, the great Homestake mine of Lead City, South Dakota. This property has ore liter ally running up in the pictures, but it keeps a safe average of about BIOS a ton, because profit can be realized on that average. If the reserves were worked up almost to daily capacity, the ore would be taken just as it came, and high-grade would not be used to bring up the average of the lower grades. Therefore, the Homestake, on the basis of "skinning" its reserves, would be a gigantic failure.
 The mine that can truthfully report liberal backs" and safe averages, is much more desirable than the prop erty that can take spurts of record shipments Mining Record.
