WEST END.

The west drift of the West End
has advanced eight feet during the
week and is now in a total dlstanc
of 410 feet from No. 2 shaft. The
entire face is in high grade milling
ore.
The west drift on the third level
has advanced thirteen feet and is
now in eighty-nine feet from the
south c%rosscut. The face is in quartz
with small stringers of ore. The east
drift on this level has advanced
eighteen feet and is now in 4O9 feet
from No. 2 shaft and the face is all
in low grade ore. The slopes on the
east and west side of the shaft are
producing their usual amount of ore
with the pay seam averaging from
four to six feet in width.
The mine shipped to the Belmont
mill at Millers during the week $50
tons Of high grade.

.Kedne Wonder
Making Bullion

A bar Of bullion valued at a little
owe $4,000 came in this week from
the Keane Wonder. This amount
represents the December cleanup
from the plates at the company mill.
Things have been a little upset out
there this month due for the most
part to trouble with the water sup
ply. Two days were lost at one.
Safe figures at the present time are
$500 a day while the little mill is
busy.
Mr.. Wilson reports that the ore
being put through now is a little UNI
der standard, but that he had to get
it out of the way. The outlook in this
respect is remarkably good for the.
coming year.
A part of the cyanide appliances
for the new addition TO the mill
have reached the property, and the
bulk of the rest are en- route. It is
believed that the new department
will be put in working order this
month.

JIM BUTLER.

The ore shipments for the week
from the Jim Butler amounted to
500 tons. the ore being sent to the
Belmont mill at Mllers.
On the 100 level stopping is being
done east and west on the north
vein, the ledge being three feet In
width and of a good grade milling
ore. On the south vein east and west
stopping is being done on a f~ive-foot
vein of good ore. The Slope west on
the incline is working in about two
feet of good ore.
On the 200 level the Slopes east
and west On the north vein show the
ledge to be about five feet in width
and of a good shipping quality. De-
yelopment work is being done in the
west raise on a three-foot ledge. This
raise has advanced four feet during
the week and is up a distance Of
fifty feet from the level.
The stope west on the incline from
the 200 level has a two-foot ledge
opened up.
On the intermediate, between the
200 and 800. the slopes EAST on the
north vein have three and one-half
feet OF good shipping ore.

Manhattan pIdCerS
are Making Good

Matt Kane, who is over from Man
haitian, tells a Bonanza writer that
the plaeers % Manhattan are taking
up a great deal of attention now,
there being something like twenty
shafts in the placer grounds now and
others are in prospect. The placer
territory begins in the draw just at
the western edge of the town, and
continues some four miles to the
junction of the Manhattan draw with
the Smoky valley. All OF the shafts
which have reached bedrock are in
rich gravel, and Mr.. Kane says that
a conservative estimate of the value
of the auriferous gravel is IS per
yard-some running higher and
some lower. There is no lack Of
water for washing, for as soon as the
detritus layer is penetrated and the
gravel beds reached, a strong flow of
water is encountered. A large aggre-
gate quantity of machinery is now
arriving at and en- route for Manhat-
tan, consisting of pumps, hoists. etc,
and as soon as this machinery is in
stalled work of washing the rich
gravel will m
The operations in the Manhattan
p~lacers are still in the prospect
stage, but so far no shaft has failed
to find the gold. The district pros
pected to date covers a stretch of the
draw from 200 feet to 300 yards in
width, and two and one-half miles in
length, while a shaft at the Junction
of the draw with Smoky valley has
uncovered the values. The drifting
from the shafts sunk has not yet
been extensive enough to run out Of
gold bearing gravel.

o EXTENSION.

Very little of importance has
transpired during the week in the
workings of the Extension. The reg
ular amount of progress is reported
in the various drifts and workings
on the 400 and ,70-foot levels where
the only work is being carried on at
present. When definite plans are de-
cided on as to the construction of a
mill which the officials Of the COM
pany now have under way, the work
will be resumed on all the levels and
a large amount of low grade ore that
has been blocked out will be ex-
tracted.

From the Seven
TrOughS District

j.. f. Mitchell, who Is In charge of
operations at the Seven Troughs In
got company's properties in the Far
rell end Of the district, came in from
camp Wednesday night for the first
time in several months, says the Salt
Lake Herald. The Ingot company is
running a tunnel which, in a dist
ance of 1000 feet or such a matter,
will crosscut the seven known lodges
in the company's ground. The tun-
mel is now under cover about 200
feet and 72O feet more, Mr.. Mitchell
figures, Will reach the last Of the
veins exposed on the surface. The
property is located not far from the
Hero Nevada.
"The Seven Troughs district"
said Mr.. Mitchell yesterday, lis go
ing to eclipse every gold camp in
the state of Nevada for productive
ness In the nsar future. Over an
area OF from four to five miles wide
and fifteen miles long there has
hardly a hole been dug in which ore
a not found. The naturalization
of the district beats anything I ever
say in my life. The only thing that
has kept the district back has been
the lack of big capital. Men Of mod-
est means and men without re-
sources at all have had to do every
thing that has been accomplished
up to date. 1t is simply remarkable
the showing that has been made un-
der the most adverse conditions. But
money will come this year. The
camp now has the goods to warrant
the Inauguration of big campaigns
OF development and equipment. and
the men who undertake it will have
the assurance in advance that there
is no chance in the world to lose
out"

BELMONT.

The general condition of the Bel
mont mine looks better than 1t has
for over a year. New bodies OF ore
are being opened up daily and old
Lodges are increasing in width and
values.
During the past week 207 feet OF
work has been done, an increase of
ten feet over the preceding week.
On the 800 level the Occidental vein
Is out 312 feet. having advanced
nineteen feet for the week, and
shows twelve inches Of good grade
ore in the face. The slopes in this
drift show very little change. On
the south vein on this level the
slopes are yielding their usual
amount of high grade ore.
The west drift of the Occidental
vein on the 10OO-foot level has ad-
vanced seventeen and one-half feet
during the week and is out sixty-two
feet. The face shows about two feet
of low grade ore. The west drift on
the south vein is out ni~nety-four
feet, having advanced twenty-three
feet. The work of prosecuting the
fault which was encountered last
week has been in progress and the
face is now beginning to show quartz
which carries small values. The
ledge should be encountered some
time during the coming week. The
east crosscut from "a" vein is out
425 feet, making an advance of
forty-four feet. The face shows no
change in the formation.
Raise No. 1 from the 1909 west
drift is up twenty-seven feet having
advanced fifteen feet and shows
lunches of quartz and ~stringers. The
winze on the 1856 level from the
1909 west drift is down 1856 feet,
advancing ten and one-half feet,
and shows stringers and punches of
quartz carrying fair values. East
drift No. 2 on the 125-foot level of
this Wine is out si%xty-one feet and
shows about five feet of fair grade
milling ore. The Slopes along the
back Of this drift for fifty feet in
length are working on a body Of

III BIG MINES
OF THIS CAMP
developments and Work During the Past Week as Gathered
by a Bonanza Representatve--The Tonopah Mining Com
pany Putting in Huge Pump and Preparing for Deep Mining

The Tonopah Mining company has just completed the pur--
chase of a big pump which will be installed on the 12OOfoot level
OF the Mzpah shaft. This pump will have a capacity of 200 gal
Ions per minute under a 12OOfoot head. This will be far above
sufficient to keep the flow of water down, as it will not average
over hfteen gallons per minute. The plant was purchased in Cal
Hornia and is expected to arrive in Tonopah in about fifteen
days. 1t Will be driven by electricity. The complete plant
should be in operation inside of the next forty-fve days and Just
as soon as the water is pumped from the bottom of the shaft,
sinking will again be started and continued until a depth of 1900
feet is reached. The Tonopah Mining company officials are
anxious to determine the formation of the ground at depth and
should values be encountered it will practically mean the dfscoy-
ering OF a second Tonopah mineral district.
The work OF cutting out the station for the installation of the
pump Will start in a few days and everything will be in readiness
when the machinery arrives. The motor and necessary pipe will
arrive at the same time.

TONoPAH MINING.

The workings in the Silver Ton
have advanced 1874 feet during the
week and the Mizpah and Red
Plume properties have advanced
264h feet. The roaming out of the
diamond drill hole which caved some
time ago, has been finished and the
work of casing it will probably be
finished today. On the different
levels OF the Mizpah considerable
work is being done in the shape of
raising on the ore that has been ex-
posed in the drifts. This is being
done so as to get a more definite
idea of the various lodges.
In the westerly end of the 200
foot level In the Silver Top develop
ment work is still being carried on
to connect with the old workings.
On the third level raising is being
done along the Stone Cabin line
which will connect with the second
level. This is being done to prospect
the Silver Top vein.
Work has been resumed in an old
south crosscut on the second level of
the Mizpah shaft for the purpose of
prospecting for some of the surface
groupings that have not been work.
ed before. In the westerly workings
OF this level development work Is be-
ing done OF parallel veins, which
show low grade milling values.
On the easterly side of the third
level prosecuting has been started
south from the main workings to
prospect parallel veins. On the fifth
level winze work has been started
in the east workings to follow veins
down to the sixth. These veins have
never been worked below this level.
Considerable cutting out and stopping
work is also being done on this level
to get the ore in shape for mining.
fhe work in the west end of the
sixth level still shows good milling
ore. The vein is extending west to-
ward the Red Plume shaft. The Red
Plume workings continue to show
up ore in the development work that
IS being done.
The company has ordered a pump
and all the necessary apparatus for
the pumping of water from the bot
tom OF the shaft. The pump should
be in operation inside OF the next
forty-fye days and It will be in
stalled on the 12OO-foot level. When
the water is pumped out sinking will
be resumed.

PAINT DURABILITY.

The first thought in painting should.
Of course, be durability-and dura-
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and linseed oil with or
without tinting materially.
Some years ago the paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
felt white lead If he was not familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety If he only makes
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark is on the packages of
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.
1t is guarantee as valuable to the
HORSEPOWER as the education of q
paint expert could be.

knew who she was, she did not leave
her name. The lady of the house re-

and the man told her that lady had
been there who said she'd call again.

had been here. Can't you tell me
something by which I can know who
came? Where does she live?"
II don't know" said the man, "but

The pleasant look and the courteous
manner in which the lady had spoken
to the servant had been noticed and
remembered, leaving a sunbeam in
that mans heart.

The speaker turned with earnest,
appealing look towards the small, mot
ley group gathered in the little, dimly-

almost to a whisper, as though he
feared some eavesdropper on the out
side might overhear the conversation,
and ever and anon the different mem
bers of the group looked anxiously
towards the low door and started at
any unusual noise which broke the
night stiffness.

A Candid Judqe.

A Dover lawyer tells a story In
which figures Hon. n. l.. Dawes, who,
it seems, in his younger days was an
Indifferent speaker. Shortly after his
admission to the bar he had case
which was tried before North Adams
justice of the peace, and Dawes was
opposed by a lawyer whose eloquence
attracted large crowd. The justice
was perspiring in the crowded room
and evidently fast losing his temper.
Finally he drew off his coat and, in the
midst of the eloquent address. burst
out:
"Mr. Attorney, supposing that you
take seat and let Mr.. Dawes speak.
| want to thin out this crowd."-Lip-
pincott's.
