So it is not hard to see that when this Peter the
Hermit along with this crusade the
will be all side. By possible con-
struction of the word the practice of taking
woman out to dinner be construed treating; that
is entertaining and they not in the class
at all And any who tries to tell his wife
hancee that if he off the treating habit it
means he take them out to dinner he is open
ing up argument that he has chance to come
out of with honors.
Statisticians have tried and tried in vain to
estimate what it costs the each day to indulge
in this custom 1t is many thousands of dollars, and
that does not include the money that is being spent
by wine agents wherever crowd OF men who can
be detached from their money without much trouble
is found These are the Hessians in the battle
against treating. They given the money to
spend for certain brands of wine and far they
concerned it might just well be stage money
But outside of this the money that is expended by
for drinks they do not want because they think
they not afford to be called penurious in these
matters would be surprise if it could be ascer

directors of the above company is in

four million dollars in bullion. The
ore was never exhausted in this mine

ely Expositor.)

Pleased beyond expectation and well
impressed with the first views of Ely
as they arrived hot and duty after
making the run from Hot Creek, the
Ely-Goldfeld railroad party arrived
about 5 o'clock last evening and after
ern, proceeded to the Steptoe where
they engaged rooms.
Max Bernheimer, a wealthy New
Yorker, who is one Of the syndicate
back of the projected road, and who
gest gold mines of the state; DIR. Leon
ard A. Dessar, also of lew York; John
Ryan, general manager of the T. & T.
R. R.; w. r. Alberger, of Los Angeles,
traffic manager of the T. & T., and
Bullfrog- Goldfeld roads; Malcolm Mae
Donald, president of the Nevada Smelt-
ing and Mines corporation and a veal
thy mine operator of southern Nevada.
and Charles Kirchen, general manager
Of the Tonopah Extension and other
companies, comprised the party that
left Tonopah Tuesday morning to visit
several OF the most prominent camps
along the line of the proposed railroad
for the purpose of familiarizing them
selves with the part of the state
through which it will pass.
Regarding the feasibility of the
road, all the members of the party
were optimistic especially Messrs.
Bernheimer and Alberger who had
never been over the route before. Mr..
bernheimer stated he believed it was
only a question of financing and was
OF the opinion that the data which Is
being collected to submit to capitalists
when the surveys are completed will
show that, not only is it feasible of
construction but that it will also be
shown the new road will be a profitable
investment. He was greatly impressed
by the agricultural possibilities of the
numerous valleys through which they
came on their way to Ely.
Mr.. Bernheimer made the prediction
that larger mines than have been
found and developed up to date would
be found in the future and he cons,d.
cred the amount of ore worth from
$50 up, that is now known to ex;st
IN the country, as a wonderful showing
but only an indication of what might
be expected in the future with more
extensive showing but only an indica.

Los Angeles. His report was so favor
able that the company has decided to
continue operations as stated.
1t is said that the work already done
has developed a ledge about 80 inches
wide which carries average values Of
$14 to the ton. At places in the ledge
streaks are found that are much richer
yielding ore worth $50 and upwards,
but the steady, reliable values of the
entire ore shoot so far as 1T has been
explored are around $14, with a steady
increase in quantity as depth is gained.
The ore is practically free milling and
is a soft quartz that will admit of the
easiest kind of treatment.

and mining operations.
Mr.. Alberger confessed that he had
been hanging back for more than a
year on the proposition to build the
extension but now, after seeing the
country with his own eyes and sizing
up the possibilities from a traffic
standpoint, he was about won over in
favor of the enterprise. As to the min
eral u of the country, there was
Tic doubt as to the immensely of them
and the amount of production that will
be made when transportation facilities
are provided.
Mr.. Ryan stated that all the held
work on the surveys will be finished
by August 20 after which the question
of finances would be taken up as soon
as the full cost of the road could DC
figured but would not commit himself
as to naming any date wL,n TIE &c
tual construction work of the road
would be commenced.
