A distinguished lawyer of Boston

some important business. Travelling

a pretty child 6 or 7 years of age. The
lawyer and the child became friends
at once.
On the first night out the lawyer,
being about to retire to his berth.
saw a little foot projecting from the
berth occupied by his young friend.
Grasping the foot he caught the big
toue and began the old familiar nur-
sery exercise: This little pig went

home; this little pig had" The
foot was suddenly withdrawn and an
indignant voice said, "Sir, that is my
foot"
The lawyer hastily withdrew to the
smoking car, where he remained until
the train arrived in Denver.

BELMONT

During the past week the cable
was installed at the Belmont shaft
and the work of repairing the shaft
has commenced. 1t is known def
nately when the work OF sInKi1.g This
shaft to the 1000-foot level will he
commenced as word is now waiting
from Superintendent Brady who is at
present in Philadelphia.
Through the mine the work is be-
ing prosecuted vigorously and the ore
bodies are being opened up with
great regularity. The most import
ant point in the workings and the one
that is attracting the greatest inter
est is the drift being sent out on the
stringer encountered in the crosscut
IRON the 1854 winze to the 1866
winze on the 1100-foot level. These
drifts have advanced twenty-five feet
TO the east and ten feet to the west
n the strlnger still maintains its
size with no change in the values. At
the point this stringer was cut it
averaged twelve inches in width and
at the present remains that size.
There is a possibility of encountering
a larger ore body and it is with this
IDEA that the management is follow
ing up the ore seams. The south
crosscut that was sent out from the
to tap ore veins known to
exist, is now out about $40 feet and
has about 100 feet further to &c be-
the ledge is expected to be en-
countered.

Pioneer Visited
by Costly Fire
ENTIRE BUSINESS SECTION OF
TOWN Is DESTROYED WITH
HEAVY LOSS.

The town of Pioneer was visited by
a disastrous fire yesterday afternoon
which destroyed the business section
and for a time threatened the entire
city.
1t was about 1 O'Clock that the
alarm was given from the building
on Main street used as an automobile
garage by Alkali Bill Brong, who
operates the line of autos from
Springdale to the Pioneer district. In
a few minutes owing to the strong
south wind the main street was in
flames and before extinguished de-
stroyed practically the entire business
portion of the upper town. The
burned district includes nearly every
business house in what is known as
the upper townsite. 1t includes the
grocery stores of Cook and Fleming.
and Rose and Palmer, the Sixty-Six
club, Columbia club, owned by
Thomas Aubry of Goldheld, Jake's
Place, Marion Hicks, the brokerage
office of the Pioneer Brokerage COM
pany and several restaurants and a
barber shop. Every business house
on Main street with the exception of
the Porter Brothers on the south end
OF the street was destroyed.
Before the flames had fairly died
away preparations were made by
many of the business firms for a re-
sumption of operations and before a
week passes all traces of the conia-
grafton will have been removed. The
loss TO buildings and stock is rough
ly estimated at 500, 900, with no in
surance.
The Hotel Holland and a number OF
buildings owned by Tonopah people
were saved by the efforts of an i'm
provised fire department which con-
sidering the lack of water did heroic
service.

TOnOpdh Mining
Officials Here

c. A. Higbee, secretary and treas
urer of the Tonopah Mining company,

dent and general counsel of the COM
pany, arrived last night from Phila-
delphia. They were met at Las Vegas

and Goldfeld Railway company.
which conveyed them to this city.
Both gentlemen have a large num-
Der of friends in this city, and are al
ways glad when they have a chance
to pay Tonopah a visit. Mr.. Higbee
is one of the pioneers of Tonopah,
having first visited this section dur
Ing the early days of the camp.
The gentlemen will remain here
for several days and during their stay
will inspect the various workings Of
the big company.

cisco offices of the company, in pay
ment of the monthly dividend of /
cent per share. At the company's
meeting held several days ago, the
dividend for the present month was
passed owing to the necessity of us
ing the finances for the continuation
of sinking the shaft. The shaft is
now down past the 775-foot level. A
station was cut there and drifting
will be started Immediately to find
the veins that were pierced by the
diamond drill.
The shipments for the week ag-
gregated six cars of ore, which were
sent to the Western Ore Purchasing
company at Millers. The same ex-
cellent condition of the workings in
the mine are noticed and Superinted-
ent Chandler stated that no change
of note had been recorded. The
slopes on the 200 and 275-foot levels
are producing their regular amount
of high grade ore from lodges that
appear to be permanent. The usual
amount of development work is also
under way.

ruary. After that date Mr.. Gilbert
was notified to furnish a 100000

alarmed and refuse to go on bonds
where the funds are deposited IN
banks. Many of Mr.. Gilbert's friends
were willing to guarantee his hon
esty' but were not willing to 20 Sc.
curity where the money was deposited
in the banks.
Mr.. Gilbert applied to the surety
companies for a bond. All the Cali
fornia surety companies refuse to
furnish a reelected treasurer a
bond. The bond was taken up with
the Fidelity Guarantee company of
Baltimore and the bond was about
completed. About this time the leg
lslature passed a new law compelling
all surety companies doing business
In this state to deposit 5 per cent of
their liabilities with the state con
t%roller. which the company refused
to do on account of the small amount
of business being done in this state
MT. Gilbert was notified that they
would withdraw from the state after
July first, 1909, at which time the
law goes into effect, hence this caus.
ed another delay. Mr.. o. j.. Smith
sent a telegram to Mr.. Gilbert asking
II the county commissioners would
accept bond with himself and associ.
ates as sureties, which was agreed to
and a bond was given and presented
to the county commissioners on Mon.
day, May 3, with the following sure
ties: o. J. Smith. $4,000; Mrs. o.

Nothing could be more fortunate
than the adjustment of the recent in
ternal unpleasantness which has ex-
listed in the management of the
Round Mountain Mining company.
The annual meeting held recently
in Goldfeld has gone to show that
the mine was in a most fiourishing
condition, and that the airing of
petty grievances before the public is
likely to work an incalculable harm
on any property Of the best merit.
The annual report of James r.
Davis, the manager, shows that dur
ing the year ending March 31st, near
ly 1000 feet of development work
was done. During that time 29,5S2
tons were extracted. There are now
blocked out ready for stopping 32,902
tons valued at $490,794. The net
profit to the company from the ore
milled during the year was $780,
SS9.46. Cost of mining, milling, etc,
is 1907 per ton, and this will be
materially decreased as soon as the
mills capacity is increased. Work is
progressing on this at present. The
dividends amounted to nearly $l2S,-
900.

County TredSurer'S
Office Has Been
Declared Vacant

AT a meeting of the board of coun-
ty commissioners held yesterday the
office of the county treasurer was de-
clared vacant and Frank P. Mannix,
editor and proprietor of the Bullfrog
Miner was elected to fill the vacancy.
The notice of the change in the
t~reasurer's office came as a distinct
surprise to the many friends of r. F.
Gilbert, incumbent, although It has
been intimated in inside political cir
Giles that a change was coming on ac-
count of the inability of Mr.. Gilbert
to furnish the bond required.
The difficulties of Mr.. Gilbert were
precipitated by the failure of the Nye
and Ormsby County bank which held
up a large sum of money belonging
to the county and made the bond al
ready given imperative.
Frank p. Mannix, who was selected
by the commissioners to fill the Office
of county treasurer, is the editor and
proprietor Of the Bullfrog Miner, pub
lished at Rhyolite. Mr.. Mannix was
for two terms county clerk of Teller
county, Colorado, of which Cripple
Creek is the county seat. He has been
a resident Of Nye county for more
than four years. He was defeated
for the office Of secretary of state by
w. G. Douglas in the campaign of
1906. A temporary bond of $4,000
was given and later one of 800. 900
will be filed with the commission.
During his incumbency In office Mr..
Gilbert has conducted the office of
treasurer in a straightforward bust
nell-like manner, and there is no in
timation whatever of any direlection
or his part.
Early in January Mr.. Gilbert's
bond was set at $50, 600, and the fol-
lowing sureties furnished: A. G..
Raycraft, 10000; T.. w. Kendall,
$4,000; w. J. Douglass, $4,000, J..
j. McQuillan, $4,000; II. C..
Schmidt, $4,000; Grant Crumley,
SO, 000 ;-R. P. Stenson, $15, 1000; w.
w. Booth, $4,000; Charles Wonacott,
$4,000. The bondsmen qualifying in
