WHEN TAFT WAS In ELK POINT

From the Bohemian Magazinel
Most OF us will recall the widely pub
lished picture OF Mr.. Taft standing on
the back platform Of pullman coach.
That was the official photograph OF the
quiet campaign. 1t was the favorite OF
MIR. Taft and also of his managers, be-
cause good nature, kindlines., democ-
racy and all the characteristics good

none other ever taken. In the quest
for just such photograph several hun

TONOPAH TO WELCOME THE

TONOPAH, Sept. 15.-Pursuant to
call, the Tonopah promotion association
held a most interesting and important
meeting last evening and made great
Roadway in preparing to entertain tic
delegates to the American Mining Con
gress when they visit this city.
Vice President Elftman of the asso-
citation presided and Tom Lindsay, the
secretary, officiated as scribe.
For the first half hour the meeting
was devoted to routine reports from
the various committees, each of which
reported progress.
When the publicity committee
preached the matter of utilizing the
800 donated by the county commits
%sioners to assisting in defraying the
expenses of publishing a souvenir pro-
gram, there arose the only active dis
~cussion of the evening.
1t was eventually decided not to use
the 800 in this fashion, but to aug
it by what sum could be set aside

The vein has the characteristic blue
quartz that is found In the Dry gulch

who has searched to find the source
of the placer gold has looked expect
ing il would lead him to the treasure
vault of the mountain. From the size
of the vein in the shaft there is no
doubt but what the vein will be found
to go down deep and carry good values.
While all the ore does not show free

MAN FALLS INTO CYANIDE
TANK BUT ESCAPES DEATH

A. II. Harness, a workman at the
Montgomery-Shoshone mine, probably
owes his life to the fact that he had
sufficient presence of mind to keep his
mouth shut in time of imminent dan
ger. Tuesday, while working over the
cyaniding tanks, he lost his footing and
fell into one of the large watts of poi
sonous fuid-so deadly poison that
it takes but a few drops in a man s
stomach to cause almost instant death.
He was completely submerged in the
fluid, but kept his eyes, nose and
mouth tightly closed until his fellow
workmen who had witnessed his fall
came to his rescue and hauled him out
of his dangerous bath. Antidotes were
promptly administered to counteract
the effect of any of the poison which
might have entered his system, and
his poison saturated clothing quickly
removed. No bad results were expert
enced, and Mr.. Harness is as good as

GOOD SPRINGS, New, Spet. TO-
Our former article ended with a state
ment that the Yellow Pine mining dis
trict contained ores Of gold, silver, cop
per, lead and zinc. That statement is
literally true. A writer of fiction and
well acquainted with the facts as they
existed in the early days of this camp,
could tell with more truth than poetry
of a certain isolated spot at the foot
of a prominent mountain peak not 80
miles distant from where the writer
sits today where the ore (I guess you
call it "high graded') was packed
from various points and there milled
with hand mortar and gold pan at a
profit until the practice was stopped
by dint of close and careful work on
the part of the owners Of the ground.
You may see the ground from which
the ore was taken.
Gold Not Only Resource
Gold, however, is not our predominant
ing ore or the entire source of our rev.
enue. OF gold l mention the keystone,
as the only one in the district which has
Eeen worked for the metal entirely.
The mine is now idle and has been for
some years. The fact that it is idle is
no fault of the property for it has
been or would lave been a paying mine
from its grass roots to a depth of 100
feet, incline shaft, had the operators
been mining men or men with any idea,
except that of stock manipulation. The
Keystone mine today is better thar it
ever was, but it is a stock company
and a black spot upon the record of our
district.
OF copper, l will mention that the
9 here is a prospect, or a mine in
the prospective stage, which has paid
all legitimate mining expenses from
the time Judge C. M. Oren first put a
pick into it until the present time. The
property is now being worked by the
Copper company of Salt Lake
City under the management Of J. b.
