 As matter of fact the Southern and the Louisville and Nashville have owned the Monon jointly for years. W. H. McDoel recently resigning the presidency of the latter on account of old age and long service in that ca pacity.
 His successor. as has already been announced. is L G. Rawn. formerly general manager of the Illinois Cen tral, and the theory here is that the rumor grew out of the resignation Of Mir McDoel and the election of Mir. Rawn as his successor.

 King Abdcate.
 Athens, Oct l9-That the Military League meditates further designs to compel the king to abdica,e, is a rum, CT that has been current here for some time past. Colonel Zorbas, the leader of the league and the chief fig ure in the recent military movement, in all interview tonight, however, em. phatioally denies this.
 He declares that the prevalent rum. or that the league harbors anti-dynns- tic designs is erroneous. Its grlev- ances. he said, are not against the king, but against the government and the political parties

sibIe for Ike's Being Late
at His Duty.

An Atlanta merchant has frequent
occasion to rebuke Ike, his darby por-

duty in the morning. Ike is always
ready with a more or less ingenious
excuse.
You're two hours late, Ike!" ex-
claimed the employer one morning.
"This sort of thing must stop! Other
wise, I'm going to fire you; under

Kicked by mule? Well, even If
that were so, it wouldn't delay you for
more than an hour. You'll have to

That the earth must shine on the

from the earth on the lunar surface
and scientifically prove its existence
is another matter. 1t is interesting to

WHAT WERE THEY THERE FOR
Reporters Seemingly Superfluous
Question as to Happenings at
Cabinet Meeting.

Postmaster General Meyer is Of a
serious turn of mind, but he has bit
of humor in his makeup, nevertheless.
Being looked upon as the shrewdest
politician in the presidents cabinet, he
is the objective point for newspaper
correspondents on cabinet days.
Last week as Mr.. Meyer emerged
from the White House a newspaper
man asked:
''Mr Postmaster General, can't you
give us some news about the cabinet
meetings?"
There really is nothing to say" re-
piled the cabinet officer. I'VE dis
cussed nothing of especial impor-
tance"
DO you mean to say you did not
discuss politics?" the newspaper man
queried.
The postmaster general burst into
laughter. When he recovered his u.s.
ual serenity he said:
do you suppose we were all muz-
Zled?"

GOOD BULLION SHIPMENTS
FROM BUILFROG DISTRICT

Early this week a shipment of hull
lion was made by the Montgomery
Shoshone mine, amounting to a little
more than $4,000 in value. This repre-
sents the last cleanup for last month,
which shows a considerable increase in
production for the latter part of the
month. The probability is that sue
ceeding shipments will show a greater
ratio Of increase in the immediate
future.
The Keane Wonder mine has pro
duced bullion to the amount of con,
siderably more than 100000, which
passes through Rhyolite today. This
represents practically, yet not wholly,
the output for the month of October.

MANY RETAIN Faith
In old DELAMAR CAMP

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. 49,
With the closing down of the DeLamar
properties some two months ago, it was
generally understood that the old min
ing camp of hat name would become
but a memory, and though in fact, since
operations at the one big mine have
been suspended the town has been prac-
tically d~epopulated, a few of the wise
acres are staying with the district, ana
from all accounts good results are at
tending their operations.
George T. Benovitch, who with two
associates has taken q lease on the
old DeLamar workings, has been in this
city for several days negotiating with
smelling concerns for the treat
ment of the product which he intends
to ship, and his arrangements are such
that Notwithstanding the freight
charges on a 30-mile haul from the
mine to Calicute, the cost of treatment,
the royalties and the operating ex-
penses, he feels that he win sill be
able to realize very satisfactory profits
on his undertaking. Operations in the
old workings Of the mine have already
up big ore deposits between n

PROVIDING IT'S v
ORES FOR FLUXING

The American Smelling and Refining
company has purchased and c~onsoli-
dated a number of the old mines Oh
Ruby hill, near Eureka, Nevada, and it
is now shipping daily to Palisade, and
thence to its smelters in Utah $50 tons
of ore which averages around $40 a
ton. The ore is needed as a fiux in
treating the large tonnage of silicious
ores handled by the smelling com
pany.
Formerly the company was com
PEELED to enter the open market to
purchase for fuxing purposes the kind
of ore which its own mines at Eureka
now provide, with a good profit for
handling it.
Equipment Of unusual capacity has
been installed. The boilers, four in
number, have a stated capacity of
400 horsepower, and the engine is of
$50 horsepower.
The caving system of mining is EN-
ployed, and all of the ore is hoisted
through one double compartment shaft,
some distance from the center of min
ing operations. In the early days the
high grade ore was gouged from the
vein, but the entire vein between walls
for several hundred feet in width is
now being taken put and shipped.
The entire cost, for mining, timber
ing, labor, machinery, interest, office
expenses, and allowing for deprecia-
tion of plant, is said to be $2.45 a ton,
and it is estimated that the ore is
landed at the furnaces at a total ex-
pense of not to exceed So a ton.
Production of the Eureka mines in
the early history of the camp is vari-
ously estimated from $150,000,000 to
$l75, 900 900, their output having been
second to that Of the mines of the
Comstock lode. The ore from the
Ruby Hill mines is a brick-red oxi-
died ore, the values being silver and
gold. What it will be below the per-
manent water level remains to be de-
termined, but the management says
that at the present rate of production
a supply for several years to come is
assured.

tain conditions set forth in the act. The
said acts of congress and the state act
authorizes the state land register, on
the part Of the state to enter into con-
tract with any person, persons, CON-
pany, or corporation for the reclamation
of desert lands and the disposal of the
same to settlers; and when an ample
supply of water has been actually fur
nished in q substantial ditch or canal,
or by artesian wells or reservoirs to
reclaim any particular tract or tracts
of such lands, and when said lands have
been patented to the state by the
United States, the state will issue pat
ents direct to the actual settlers and
bona dde occupants on such lands. The
title passes from the United States to
the state, and from the state to the
settler.
This act was passed by congress in
1894, but little attempt was made on
the part of the state to secure the
reclamation of desert lands in large
areas until Surveyor General Deadly
took the matter up and secured the
passage of an act by the last legis-
lature authorizing companies or cor
porations to construct irrigation works
and dispose of water rights to settlers
on such lands under contract with the
state.
About $4,000 acres nave been select
ed under this act and several more
projects are in contemplation includ-
ing one for 100000 acres in the Vir-
gin River valley and 10000 acres Ill
the Las Vegas valley, Clark county.
General Deadly is encouraging the
reclamation of desert lands by means
of artesian wells as there are many
localities in the state where the water
supply is limited but where an abund-
ance Of water could be developed by
means of such wells.
As the reclamation of desert lands
!, is of vital Importance to the state, this
act should be made a very important
feature in the reclamation and settle
ment of such lands not already under
reclamation by the government.

old GOTWALDT LEASE
TO RESUME WORK

The L~incoln-G oldfeld Mining anil
Leasing company, an Arizona incorpora
ton, has taken over from the Consoli-
dated company blocks | and 4 of the
Combination No. ? claim on an eigh-
teen months lease, and before the first
of the month will begin active opera
tons. The blocks taken over have
been known locally al the Gotwaldt
and Jack Davis leases and the ground
is bordered on the north by the Com
bination company workings and on the
east by the Florence. On the Gotwaldt,
at the time of shutting down, five
months ago, the main shaft had attain
ed a depth of 800 feet, and from the
255 and 315 stations several hundred
feet of lateral work had been done, and
in each of the levels a number OF very
promising lodges had been e%ncount-
cred, but no ore of a shipping character
was found. On the Davis lease the
shaft had peer sunk to depth of nearly
200 feet, though but little lateral work
has been done. 1t is the intention OF
the new owners of the lease to imme-
diately sink the shaft on the Gotwaldt
to a depth of 600 feet and work both
blocks from that depth. VIM. L.. Nc
KAY, the we'll known local mining man,
has been engaged to superintend the
operations of the company.
The control of the Lincoln Go.dfeld
has been taken over by the Manhattan
Securities company of New York and

HIGH GRADE ORE ON
EIGHT.MILE CREEK

WINNEMUCCA, New, Nov. Isl
R. Brown, who was among the first to
stake claims at National is spending q
few days in town. In speaking of the
strike of rich gold ore recently made
on the property owned by himself and
Mr.. Cundy on Eight-mile creek, he
stated that they had disclosed the rich
ore on their claims. The strike was
made in a tunnel that has penetrated
the hill for 800 feet following the ledge.
1t was while doing this work that the
ore was encountered and Mr.. Brown
in the district, resembling in every par
ticular the ore from Charleston hill. He
says that so far no great amount of
the high grade ore has been found,
but believes that the tunnel is just
entering a very rich pay shoot. In
driving the tunnel it has been uphill
work on account of the large volume
of water that is pouring from it and
besides the ground is very soft and
mushy. To overcome these obsta-
cles the bore will have to be thor
oughly timbered and car and track
installed for the tale is SO soft that
it is almost impossible to run a
.wheelbarrow, SO thick is the mud.
The ledge is eight feet wide and on
account of its great width the ground
is more difficult to hold up than il
would if the vein was smaller. For
some time, in cleaning up, the rich
specimens of gold ore have been
picked up from the floor of the tunnel
and it looks as if the rich stuff is
worked out of the tale by the immense
of water in the tunnel.
In speaking Of the camp in general,
Mr.. Brown stated that the popula-
ton was gaining every day and every
body is looking for the rich gold ore
that has made the camp famous.
