 It IS the most encouraging to note also, that the earnings above reported for the twelve month period were di- vided as follows: For the first six months. $1,31S, ,145: for the Ia9t six months. $2.s0s. .2s0."
 The American Smelting and Refining company owns 177,51o shares of the securities Company's total issue of xSoe00, 900 stock. which is majority. In explanation Of the issuance Of the securities report at this time it, is prefaced with this remark from the President, ''the wider distribution of preferred stock. Series A and B. dur ing the past year warrants your sDirec- tors in making this first printed annual report.''
 THe increase in the mines and
 
 to the purchase by contract of the stock of the Baltimore Copper Smelt ingsand Rolling Company which, Pres ident Guggenheim says. represents the oldest electrolytic copper refining plant in the United States"
 On the contract semi-annaI nav. ments are required running into 1916 The deferred liabilities on account of the contract now amount to $2,557 360. President Guggenheim continues; "The A v.r4 company undoubtedly will continue to be more than sufficient to pay the fn- stallments with interest,"
 The satisfaction of the officials of the parent company with the showing or the subsidiary is seen in the fol- lowing reference to the situation in President Guggenheim's report:
 The success of the past year has been most encouraging and leads us to expect the fulfllment of all the hopes Of the past. At the time of the organization of the American Shelters Securities Company it was believed that your company would be obliged to advance. under its guarantee, some portion of the dividends accruing on the Series B stock until the Securities Company was able fully to operate its projected smelting plants. Your com pany, however. has not been obliged to make any advances on account of such dividends

The dividends paid during the year were $5. .00. against S7.000.0o0 in the previous year. the fall ing off in this item being due to the reduction in the payments on the com mon stock by $1 800, GOO.

THREE WEEKS
TO BE PLAYED AT
The Nevada
MISS Lorraine BUCHANAN AND
COMPANY WILL PLAY
HERE A WEEK

The opening performance of the
play Three Weeks, at the Nevad
theatre next Monday evening, be-
gins the engagement of an artist ol
note in our city. Miss Lorraine Bu
chanan, the star, is of southern
birth, delicately reared and finely
educated. When but Is years OF
age she won, in competitive ex-
animation, the appointment to the
chair of English in the National
Academy of Brazil, South America.
a position which she held for three
years. 1t was perhaps the romantic
environs of that country which de-
termined her to adopt the stage as
| her profession, and it was with an

her first theatrical engagement So

among the Americans and English
that a girl in her high social posi-
tion and occupying the highest place
intellectually ever given to a woman
in Brazil, should go upon the stage.
that the American consul was asked
pose. She was then given four
weeks in which to avow that she
would never again appear in pub
lie, or resign her position as profes-
sor of English literature in the Nat
ional academy She chose the latter
and in four weeks was passenger,
enroute for New York, where, with
the assistance of Sir Henry Irving.
and the German tragedian, Daniel
Bandmann, she embarked upon the
perilous sea of stage life.
Her advancement was rapid but
her independent spirit and decided
ideas often ran counter to lesser in
telligences in positions of authority
over her, and the results were bro
ken contracts, lost engagements and
disastrous seasons. After four years
of this apprenticeship to rugged
stage life, the unusual quality Of
her work so struck a manager of
house where she was playing that
he offered to produce any play she
would write and play the leading
part in. She accepted, closed her
engagement, went to her mothers
home and in six weeks wrote "The

ways charged commission, even
when the expressage was paid both
ways by parties ordering the WORK,
when he was not out a cent, and
probably couldn't have been.
Expert testimony proved that the
price of the work had been de-
creased by sum aggregating some
$50, by the substitution of wire for
silken cord.
The case was interesting and the
court room was crowded through
the day. At o'clock a recess was
taken until 1880 when the argu-
ments by counsel started.
Great splashes of oratory resound-
ed through the building; huge slabs
of Blackstone were flung at the
jury regardless of physical injury
and for two hours counsel for both
sides argued over the question.
Shortly before 9 o'clock the jury
retired to deliberate and during
their hour of Incarceration the
temperature of those concerned IN
the case. arose to fever heat. The

MIDNIGHT fire
CAUSES EXCITEME
IN DARKTOWN
DEPARTMENTS SUMMONED Bl
BLAZE IN "DEVIL" DAVIS
SALOON BUILDING

A match carelessly thrown to one
side, lighted cigar or cigarette, or
the torch of a fire brand are the
theories advanced as the cause of
the conflagration which summoned
the fire departments last night at
12:45 O'Clock. The fire was in the
rear room of the building in which
Devil Davis conducted a saloon at
the time he was transported to the
other side by a revolver shot fired
by his wife.
The entire rear portion of the
building was Quilted and but for the
prompt work of the volunteers and
paid department, a serious blaze
would have resulted. Hose Cart
No. 8 was first on the scene and
was closely followed by the paid de-
partment and the remainder of the
companies. The damage will total
about $500, with no insurance, SO
far as could be learned.

LEASERS GET 5000
GOLD ROCK NEAR AUSTIN

AUSTIN, Oct. 8.-The best news
from south of the main Austin gulch
for many a day is that of gold run
ming close to the 500 mark. This
was taken from the Tom Dalton
lease on the Golden Eagle claim,
belonging to the Austin Manhattan
company. The rock in the west
drift at the SO foot level runs $97
in gold and carries $110.92 in sill
yer, or an average of more than
5000 a ton.
This work shows, among other
things, that Austin is as likely to
develope a gold zone as any other
of the numerous old camps that
have come to the front with the
high grade, notably Galena and Cor
tez, in this county.
The Jack Pot shaft has developed
a lot of water. The whim is draw

ATHLETES OF

ATHLETICS BEGIN TO ABSORB
ATTENTION IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS

In short time the athletes of
the Tonopah high school will start
in training if the plans now being
considered by those in charge Of
this branch do not go awry. Foot
ball and basket ball will probably
occupy the center of attention, and
practice has already commenced IN
the former sport.
The first real game of the season
will probably take place the latter
part of this month, when the Tono-
pah boys will go up against Their
old time rivals from Goldfield. The
fact that in nearly all sports during
the last season the local bunch came
off victorious will undoubtedly spur
the boys and girls of the southern
camp to their utmost in attempting
to retrieve their lost prestige and
to wipe out old scores.

RECEIVES A
VERDICT FOR THE
sum OF SlS2

At O'Clock yesterday afternoon
business was practically suspended
in Tonopah. Even the clocks stop
ped and those who were astir on
the streets moved along. on tiptoe
and spoke only in the most subdued
whisper. Business men wore long
faces and the appearance of this
town to an observer within our
midst, bespoke the approach of a
terrible calamity.
And well it might have been that
Tonopah was expecting to see the
end of the world, for in the justice
court in the State Bank building
there was being conducted case
whereby one lone individual was de-
flying the world.
The title of the case as it ap-
peared on the docket was the Tono-
pah Sun, an Incorporation, versus
some Is or 20 business men of this
city. The trouble was over the
booklet issued by the Tonopah Pro-
motion committe on which an ex-
orbitant charge had been made, so
exorbitant, in fact, that the MEM
bers of the finance and entertain
ment committees, who had charge
of the public funds, refused to pay
the obligation. These gentlemen
had collected funds from the Tono-
pah business men and they were
duty bound to see that it was ex-
pended in just and profitable man
ner The original amount of the
bill was for $2l8.5O.
1t was brought out in evidence
that when the dummy of the bookleT
was presented to the printers, the
specifications called for it being
bound with handsome silken cord.
The publicity committee who or
dered the printing. stated that the
booklet was first issued with bind
ing resembling cheap knitting twine,
and they Immediately said. to make
showing, give us something.
Plaintiff swore under oath that
he was unable to secure the re-
quired cord In town, but did not
state he could have purchased 1t on
the market II he had the price. and
at the price of printing the publica-
tion had not decreased cent by
the substitution of wire staples
