GOOD REPORTS
ARE COMING FROM

H.. ]. Wilbgrube, VINO is quite
heavily interested in mining prop
critics at Georges canyon, arrived in
Tonopah yesterday, having come
from the district In an auto with
some mining men who had been
visiting there for the past two days.
Mr.. Wilbgrube was very reticent
concerning Georges canyon, not be-
cause he does not believe that the
district is destined to develop into
large proportions, but simply be-
cause he is not seeking n%otoriety.
He states that from the amount of
development work which has been
done on the different properties,
they show up exceedingly well.
The district is one of well-deflned
veins, while the values have been
proven to extend over quite a large
area. Wood and water occur in
abundance. Capital is looking that
way, there being an almost daily
visit by representatives of men who
are looking for big things in min
ing. In addition to the showing SO
far as the lodges are concerned.
placer gold has been found and the
property owners there are Of the
opinion that much wealth will be
produced through placer operations
On the DR.. Smith and Fanchel
property a strike has been madt
which is very promising, while th'
Milo Caine holdings report a fine
that is quite as lively looking.
Georges canyon is a distinctive
district in many ways. The owner
there are not seeking publicity a
this time, The showings are report
ed by those who have seen them t
be unexcelled in the state, takin
the amount Of development int
consideration. The operators Their
are going ahead conscientious
opening up their estates and ar
more than satisfied with the result
they are accomplishing. They hop
TO develop q camp that will be
credit to the state. They will III
doubtedly do so, Judging from tn
very encouraging news that reacht
THIS city from there.

BUILDING SPUR
FROM T. & T.

Within a very short time the thir-
teen miles of railroad from Tecopa
on the Tonopah and Tidewater line,
to the Tecopa mines, controlled by
the Tecopa Consolidated Mines com
pany, will be well under way with
its construction. Last week the
Tonopah and Tidewater sold the
mines company all the necessary
steel and material. and work is to
begin right away. The amount in
volved in the building of the line
will approximate something over
$500, 600, but it is expected that
within the shortest possible time the
amount will be more than doubly
repaid from the enormous output OF
the silver-lead ores of that district
which is expected to reach 500 tons
daily. 1t is known that some of the
largest bodies of ore of this kline
anywhere in the country exist neai
the old Gunsight mine, and future
shipments following the completion
of this spur will be on the larges
scale Of anw in southern California
During the recent visit of w. r
Alberger, traffic manager of all tn
Borax Smith railroad interests. tina
gentlemen confirmed the sale of tn
steel to the mining company, ant
predicts its rapid construction, base'
upon the fact that the mines wer
being held down in the matter o
production by reason of the tediou
wagon haul. The Tecopa eompan,
has been blocking out ore for tn
past nine months and has an i'm
mense tonnage in sight.

GLENDALE SENDS
FORTH PRECIOUS ORE

Under cover of darkness, a ship
ment of ore arrived in Tonopah sun
day night from Glendale. The load
OF high-grade, drawn by a slX-anl-
NAL team consisted of in the neigh
borhood of seven tons from the
original Glendale strike. which has
been the cause of creating much ex-
element in the mining world. Yes
terday the ore was transported to
Millers. where it will be worked.
It is rather difficult to estimate
the value of the fore. various esti-
mates being made, ranging from
$1,000 to $1,000 per ton. In all
there were III sacks.
Glendale made it's entrance into
the mining world but a few weeks
since. The news of the wonderfully
rich finds created no end of excite
ment. Its location was kept a secret
for unite a while, but when lots
were offered for sale the demand
well nigh exhausted the supply
Since that time a town has sprung
up and judging from the very nat
tering reports that are coming II
from that section it has come t6
stay. The locators of the property
from which the shipment came were
Mrs. Joe Nay, Mrs. Edward Clihord
ST.. and Edward Clifford, Jr.
Considerable excitement was man
ifest in Tonopah when the news o
the arrival of the shipment reaches
the ears OF the people. The valuable
ore was under guard, it being fear
ed that some one might attempt t
hold-up the outfit.

COMMISSIONERS
WILL SUE THE
NYE & ORMSBY

The county commissioners have
decided to bring action against the
bondsmen of B. F. Gilbert, formerly
county treasurer of this county, as
well as the Nye and Ormsby County
bank, for the recovery of money that
is tied up in the now closed insti-
tuition.
When the Nye and Ormsby Coun-
" bank closed its doors several
months ago it was indebted to the
county in the sum of $66,689, that
is to say that amount of money be-
longing to the county had been plac-
ed in the bank by the then county
treasurer for safe keeping.
The commissioners are DESTROYS
that the matter be sifted to the
very bottom. To that end the board
has authorized the district attorney
to employ special counsel to assist
his Office in the recovery of the
money belonging to the taxpayers,
Key Pittman is the attorney who
will, in conjunction with District At
torney Baker, handle the cas Of
the county. The Office of district
attorney of Nye county is an ex
ceedingly busy one, consequently i
was necessary TO employ specia
counsel as II would he impossible
for any one nan in addition to tn
many duties imposed upon him b
law 20 do justice TO a matter of sue
.igrave importance.
Just what line of action will b
tasensby the commissioners and tn
.lauorney's office has not as yet bee
given out, the matter requiring carr
full preparation and study.
For several months past the gran
! jury has been working along lin'
which have rot been given to Il
F, public. However, from what can ]
learned, it is almost certain TIL
some sensations are IN store for Il
a public before long. Whether or n

ADDING LAURELS
TO HER CROWN

Among the precious metal mines
of America two of Nevada's take the
lead for dividends paid thus far this
year. Goldfield Consolidated, with
$1,059,741 to it's credit, leads among
the gold mines of this continent,
and Tonopah of Nevada, with pay
ments amounting to 100000, leads
among the silver. Even the gold
mines ranking second and third
Camp Bird of Colorado and Home
stake of South Dakota-come after
Tonopah of Nevada for the amount
of dividends paid since the first of
the year.
One of the marvels of mining is

INFLATED from it. Eight years ago
Tonopah was but a name; five years
ago Goldfeld but a desert waste.
How may people who were compare

of these camps can we not count to-

%affluent, and still others with enor-
nous fortunes? Less than seventy
years ago the luxuriant imagination
of the audacious Dumas dared to
endow his wonderful Monte Cristc
with a fortune Of quite twenty mil

with no more than twenty millions
is quite an ordinary mortal, as mil

what improved business conditions in
England and the adoption OF legisla
ton of u decidedly soclallstic char
acter, the local government boards
latest report, just issued, shows that
pauperism in England continues to
Increase.
The date for which the report fig
ures are given is January /, 1909 :.
As compared with the same date last
year, the increase in the number of
paupers for England and Wales is 3.4
per cent, the actual number of re-
cruits being 31.177 Setting aside in
fants, aged, iniirm, crippled, and
the feeble minded, the report
shows that 132 per cent. more
able bodied men received poor law
relief during 1908 than during 1907,
The local government board sums up
its figures as follows:
Permanent paupers, S30,156; Cas-
ual paupers, 1889; Insane paupers,
1859. Total 960,S94.
The statisticians have figured 1t out
that based on this showing, one
Londoner in every thirty-two and one
Englishman in every thirty-seven is
now pauper. The ngures are for
England and Wales and do not in
clude Ireland, where conditions are
much worse, nor Scotland. where
they are not quite so bad.
