w. E. Lawson, representing the
Mason Nevada Copper Belt railroad
from Wabuska to the Warrington cop
per mines, talks as follows about the
new railroad under construction in
the Mason district:
"The railroad is now within four
miles of Mason and would be into
Mason in another four days If they
had the ties, but heavy SHOWS in the
mountains are delaying the Verdi
Lumber company in getting the ma
terial out and the railroad company
anticipates some delay in getting the
line into Mason on that account. 1t
will require about thirty-six car
loads of ties to finish the line into
Mason.
"Grading has been completed up
to that point and the contractors are
now grading about four or five miles
beyond Mason. The road will end
at the Nevada Douglas mine at Morn
ing Star, which is thirty miles beyond
Mason. The road will be all to-
gether about forty-fve miles in
length. The date of the railroad day
celebration will not be announced I'M
til the line is complete.
"1he railroad company has start
ed work on a fine new passenger and
freight station at Mason and several
residences for the railroad officials,
where the company will have its
headquarters.
within the past few days, several
of the finest business lots in the town
were sold and men who purchased
them are now planning to build new
business houses. An Office building
is also being planned. There will be
much activity there this winter and
spring."

tions at the levels above. The work
at this deepest level was delayed for
a time by a heavy flow of water and
the unstable character of the ground,
but a pump of large capacity was in
sla.led at the 1000 station, and the
mine is now effectually drained and
progress is as rapid as elsewhere,
with three shifts driving to the west
toward the great Mohawk vein. For
a distance of over $50 feet at the
860-foot level drifts have followed
the ore shoot, which is 20 feet wide
and carries good milling values
throughout this width. me Ore-body
exposed at the 73O-foot level Is pro-
nounced by experts to be the greatest
known deposit of high-grade gold r
in any mine on earth.
The annual report of the a
ager. which will be submitted to the
stockholders at the meeting of Jan.
10, will embody a complete descrip-
the exact tonnage mined and treat
ed, together with the value of ore
from every separate part of the vast
workings, which are now in excess of
35 miles, and will contain estimates
of the available r reserves, based
upon exhaustive surveys that have
been in progress for some time
past.
Heretofore the management has
always refused to be committed to an
estimate of ore reserves, and it is
freely predicted that the figures CIV
en- by Manager Mackenzie will come
as a surprise to many who are I'M
familiar with the magnitude and
richness of the deposits already
blocked out in these mines.
j. R. Finlay, who will succeed
John H. Mackenzie as general a
ager of the Consolidated IN Jan. 1, Is
now in New York, but will return
here in time to assume his duties the
first of the new year.
During the past few years, since
resigning from the management of
the Portland mine at Cripple Creek,
he has maintained headquarters in
New York and has acted in the ca
pacity of consulting engineer to a
number of the foremost mining COM
panies in this country and Canada,
visiting their properties periodically
for the purpose of supervising their
general conduct and he is said to be
one of the ablest mine managers and
biologists in the country.
The process of treating oncen
trates and reducing their mineral
contents to bullion, which was in
vented by Superintendent Hutchinson
OIL the Consolidated mill after having
conducted exhaustive experiments in
the old Kinkead mill IN the side of
Columbia mountain, has proved to
be most successful in operation, and
the entire product of the company's
mines is now reduced to ingots of
bullion and shipped by express d.
rectly to the United States mint. The
saving effected by this process since
the refinery was built in connection
with the big mill, early this year, has
amounted to hundreds of thousands
of dollars, as the freight rates on con-
centrates are exceedingly high, vary
ing according to the value of the
product and ranging, as a rule from
$35 to $50 per ton.
The Florence company Is now con-
Quoting experiments with a view to
installing a plant for the reduction of
it's concentrates by a somewhat SIM
liar process.

certain rumored developments will
tend to push up the market price. 1t
would appear ma it is the orders of
such interests more than anything
else that have made for the %f1uctua-
tions in the price, and particularly
the prices of special grades of metal.
Although at times the surplus
looks rather large, it is not always
possible for a consumer to obtain
the grade of copper which he wants,
SO .hat when he finds his special
brand scarce and he needs a sup
ply for immediate use he must, of
course, pay a higher price than the
quoted figure. such instances ex-
plain partly for the periodic rise in
the price of the metal.
Producers say that at the moment
l.-ere is very little demand for cop
per from any quarter. AS the end of
the year approaches stock taking
will tend to prevent any extensive
buying movement and SO we may not
have any further advance in the met
al until well after the first of Janu-
airy.

BULLION TAX
LAW.SAVED A
TEST IN COURT

RENO, Dec. 16.-Upon the repre-
sentatiOn of District Attorney Tilden,
of Esmeralda county that the Pitts
burg-Silver Peak Gold Mining com
pany officials had obligated them
selves to pay the bullion tax for the
collection of which criminal prosecu-
tions were resorted to, the county
commissioners have equalized the
tax according to the agreement
and authorized the dismissal of the
indictments against the officers and
directors of that company.
This means thai all criminal prose-
cutions directed against President
Flynn, United States Senator Oliver
and other officers of the company in
Pennsylvania, as we'll as against Ed
mond Jusson and other subordinate
officers in Nevada will cease, that
the disputed tax will be paid and
that there will be no further diff
Guilty about the matter.
The agreement involves the pay
ment by the mining Company of the
tax assessed, which amounts to ap-
proximately $4,000, and all ex-
penses, counsel fees, costs and travel
ing expenses.
The result of the controversy Is
regarded as a victory for the state
in tnat it was not compelled to de-
fend the bullion tax law in the courts
as a part of the work Of prosecuting
the cases involving the charge of
evading the provisions of that
statute. At the same time it is well
coined by the state officers no less
than by the company, for there was
no disposition on the part of the state
to provoke ill-feeling in the adjust
ment of the difficulty.
District Attorney Tilden, when in
Reno, stated that he thought that
such trouble would not be met in the
future with the Silver Peak COM
pany, as he felt that the dispute was
more n of bookkeeping than of in
tent to defy the state laws. He said
that an understanding had been
reached that would make future dis
putes unlikely and that each side
knew just how far they were bound.

IKE LANIBERTs DEATH.

The Emporia Gazette, in touching
upon the death of Ike Lambert, has
an editorial which will stir to the
depths the hearts of those who knew
the kindly considerate, sweet temper
ed. humane, generous, charitable soul
which took it's fight in the Copeland
disaster.
The tribute is written beneath the
heading 1.-THE Towns Sorrow" and
William Allen White might indeed
have used the caption "a State Sor-
row." for Lambert was known the
width and length of the Kansas paraI-
telegram.
He was ever sunny and cheerful and
the Kansans who met and knew him
always found his presence breezy,
stimulating, favoring the bright side of
things.
His widow. a cousin of the former
Mrs. Lambert, is a brave. charming
little woman whose bearing, considera-
ton and thoughtfulness in her distress
are inspirations to strong men and wo-
men who would break down on slighter
occasion.
Ike Lambert, Jr., too shows the same
fine characteristics that in trials and
troubles shown forth in the father, and
which are reflected in and are innate
with the stricken woman who Is in To-
peka in her earlier tribulation She

world except his generous, manly ma

He made friends. and friendship was
his capital Upon it he thrfved in his
soul. He grew by the friends he made,
and they grew with him, for he gave
freely of all that was fine and good in
him, and never stinted. His brilliant
legal talent, his valuable time his
money, his influence, always were spent
ungrudgingIy and joyfully for his
friends.
Among the railroad men, among the
farmers. among the poor, among the
friendless colored men, among the we'll
to-do. among the merchants, among
the members of his profession, Ike
Lambert was beloved, for what he was
"a real man. He was everyone's friend

and yet he was of a sound, sane sta
bflity OF nature that made him worthy
of the friendship which the town felt
for him.
HE was beginning to find his place
in the world. His talent, which was
of slow fruition, was at its very
ripest, and he was enjoying the larg-
est private practice of any Kansas
lawyer. His success was assured.
He was in his prime, strong, vigorous
and bouyant. And yet he went about
as he would have gone-quickly,
probably without pain, and in the
flush of his power and usefulness.
He carried to the next world the
same hope and cheer and courage
that sustained him, and made men
love him here. He judged men kind
". and as he judged. SO will he be
Judged.
But the hundreds of us, his
friends. who are so sad today in En-
poria, cannot feel the cheer that he
took with him, on his long journey.
For we know that kindly smile is
gone, a great loyal heart has stopped,
a man-human, generous, kind
and brave, has left us, and 1t is
lonely-lonely today. here in the
town that loved him-without him"

conversation where there is a DISPOSE
ton to multiply words, and that dis
position is so great that the art is quite

goes, and there is no true art that is
cheap. There is a tendency these days
to stuff talk with such superf1uous
phrases as did you ever?'' don't you

a great portion of what one says has
no meaning to it.
This habit argues a very poor opin-

that he cares just as much for sound
as for sense; that what appeals to him
is unceasing clatter. This is too bad.

four men were put to death with the

rather bloodthirsty and violent DEM

with having committed more than two
hundred crimes including many tor
