MINING, BUSINESS AND STOCKS.
TONNAGE:
FROM THE ELY MINES
Month Of April Shows Millions OF
Pounds Of Copper Produced at
Nevada Camp.

| Between 4,001,0 900 and 100000 pounds
of copper, with probability that the lat.
ter figure will be the nearer to the
mark when the months reports are
figured out, were made by Nevada Con- IN
solidated and Cumberland Ely During
April says the White Pine News
These figures are appropriated from
the number of cars of ore shipped from
the mines and the number OF cars Oh
copper bullion shipped from the copper
platform. Also estimate IS made from
the number of cars put on the conden-
traitor trestle, these showing that eX-
elusive, OF the reserve in the bins the
concentration handled above 12O0 900 wet
tons during the month, a splendid rec
ord particularly so in view of I he fact
i that during the month the six seclloIls
of the mill were oyerhauled, one ut ltle

the next few days and win enable the
handling of a still larger tonnage our
ing the present month.
Shipments from the mines during
the month averaged about 50 cars

tons of carbonate Gre was shipped
to Garfield for the use of the snielter
there. The balance either went
through the NlcGill concentration or IS
in the bins there. Nevada Consolidat-
ed from Copper Flat produced an
average of better than 50 cars of ore
day, the balance coming from
Cumberland Ely's Veteran mine. This
month 5000 tons of ore may pc look

THE MOTHER OF

GCopYright. 1909. by American Press Asso-
ciatiOn.l
~ nee upon time-nOt so MANY
years ago either-there sat in
the doorway of a small cot
tage in Germany a young wo-
man with smiling eyes. a child loving
heart and an invalid body. The chill
dren of the little village all knew her
and sat in groups around her doorway
listening to stories. telling her Of their
childish adventures. and then. greatest
JOY Of all. receiving in turn some de-
-HghtfUl toy that her deft fingers had
been fashioning while they talked to-
gether.
Day by day the children gathered
about this doorway They told Of the
latest flower that had blossomed on
the mountain side. of the wonderful
span Of horses that Hans. the best
carver Of the village, had cut from
single block Of wood, of the dear little
blossoms that baby Gretchen had
painted upon the set of wooden dishes
that were to go to the Christmas mar
ket. And to them all the young wO.
man listened. smiling. while she piled
her needle or cut-snip. snip-with her
scissors.
And while they talked or while they
listened the eyes Of the children rest
ed eagerly upon the busy fingers. for
they firmly believed that in those fin
gers lay a magic which none others
possessed. And why should they not
ha1fnvn a. rrrb b.,
Ting down toward the mountain crests
and It was time for them to run away
home to their suppers Of bread and
milk the fingers were always stretched !
out toward some new member Of the |
group. and upon them rested a won
derful anlmal-a kitten. or a rabbit, or
a duck, or a tiny bear-and the like |
ness was so wonderful that the chill !
dren always breathed forth deep |
"Oh's" and ''Ah's" and knew for a GER
tainty that there was magic In the |
makers fingers. No one else in all the
country could make such animals as
these-not even Hans the marvellous
carver.
Always the busy worker sat in her
doorway where she could see the rug
ged mountains. the green grass. the
nOddings flowers. Perhaps It was the
strength the grace and the beauty of
these that wrought themselves into her
simple work
Then it came about-and no one was
more surprised than this child loving
young woman hersef-that she found
herself making hundreds and hundreds /
OF toy animals, for toy buyers from
and America had heard Of her
wonderful ducks ard rabbits and bears
and they wanted them for the children

CHRISTMAS DAY

advance Every soldier knows thai
something extra is going to be hi.
portion for that day The Christina,
dinner. with savory extras in the way
of food. is not the only special prOvi
sion for the soldiers celebration. There
is a re.aXatiou Of the rigor of military
discipline. which to many enlisted men
is even more welcome than the turkey
and cranberrieS. On Christmas day the
man in the barracks may do pretty
much as he pleases.
But pigs is pigs" and soldering is
soldering. so it follows that few OF
the men are shut out of the general
hilarity of the holiday because they
must perform a soldiers duty as on
other days. The guard mount is for
Christmas as well as for all other days
and military regulations cannot fOregO
this requirement. no matter how much
the victims may growl under their
blouses. Even the extra dinner in the
barracks. while it is rare treat to
most of the men. makes work for some
Of them which is regarded in the army
as about the most calamitous detail in
the business.
Guard duty and kitchen work are
things stndiously to be avoided by the
enlisted men. 1t IS not pleasant for a
soldier TO he kept on guard. walking a
beat or pacing up and down in front
OF headquarters when the rest of the
fellows are inside the barracks sing
ing songs. telling stories. eating tur
key or out on the parade ground play
ing baseball or doing skylarking stunts.
Accordingly the experienced soldier
makes it a point to escape Christmas
guard duty if possible. There are sew
eral ways Of doing this. The first
sergeant of the company sometimes, it
is hinted. helps the veterans out by a
passive cooperation. which throws the |
burden OF the day upon young recruits |
who are passing their first Christmas |
In the service. He permits the old |
timers to swap dates for guard duty
with the recruits so that the latter
will find themselves detailed.
. Santa Claus also comes to the sol
lier. This is true literally and figura-
lively. He comes through the mails
)r the express companies in the shape
If boxes or packages from the home
'olks On his Sl9 a month the soldier
loes not have much Of a surplus to
ipeud in buying presents to send
rome. but This fact does not initiate
.eainst his receiving mementos from
ne Old hearthstone. 1t is always an
vent In camp or barracks when some
nan receives a hefty package 'jes

ents are shared with the soldier
