THE FUTILITY OF
HUMAN ACHIEVEMENTS

When II stops to reflect on the
futility Of human achievements
laughed Miss Annie Russell, in "The
Stronger Sex ut reminds me Of an
eulogy | recently heard, that went
like this:
Tenderly she laid the silent
white form besides those who had
gone before. She made no cutlery,
she did not weep. Such a moment
was too precious to be wasted In
idle tears. But soon there came q
time when it seemed as II nature
must give way, She lifted her voice
and cried loud and long. Her cries
were taken up by others who were
near and 1t echoed and re-echoed
over the grounds. Then suddenly all
was still. What was the use of IL
all? She would lay another egg to-
morrow"

Lost Ore Shoot
Again Encountered

Bert Gillespie came in from Raw
hide yesterday and will remain here
several days. Before returning to
Rawhide he will pay a visit to the
Pioneer district. In speaking of the
conditions of his home camp, Mr..
Gillespie was very optimistic over the
future and states that there will be
something doing in Rawhide before
long.
1.-THE camp looks good from a
mining standpoint said Mr.. Giles
pie last evening. while the business
conditions are somewhat quiet at
present they have commenced to
pick up and every merchant reports
an increase in his trade. The MUIR
ray mill has completed a very salts
factory run The tryout was made
on low grade r and after a four
days run they cleaned up about
$4,000. The capacity of the plant is
ten stamps.
The Weiss ten-stamp mill will be
completed and ready for custom
work inside the next ten days. The
final work is now being done and
everything is ready with the excep-
ton Of a few small parts. The ma
chinery for the King-Heisner mill
has been shipped from San Francisco
and some of the parts of the plant
are enroute from Fallon to Rawhide.
This mill will have a capacity of 100
tons daily and should be in operation
within four months.
Nearly all the properties in the
district are holding good to their
claims of a good grade of milling ore
and the majority are making regular
shipments.
"The sensation of the district at
present is the old Kearns No. 2 lease.
After taking out $3.50 % from the
sixty-five-foot level, the big shoot
was lost. The operators continued
sinking until they obtained a depth
of 400 feet. At every hundred-foot
level they ran lateral drifts, but fail.
ed to again encounter the big pay
shoot and about ten days ago they
abandoned the lease.
The company placed two men al
work on the sixty-fve foot leve
where the ore vas lost, and before
they had drifted ten feet found the
ledge bigger and richer than wher
the old leasing company's stock was
selling at $1.30 a share. The result
of this strike created a sensation ii
the camp when it was announced.

Alleged High
Grader Arrested

Late Saturday night Mark Mat
thews. a miner, was arrested by the
sheriff's Office on the charge of grand
larceny. The alleged crime for which
he was ~incarcerated was that of high
grading from the Broken Hills prop
erty at Helena, where Matthews was
employed up to the first of the pres
ent month. He was arrested in his
cabin in this city, where a search re-
vealed six sacks of high grade.
The arrest is the result of the in
vestigatlOn of the Broken Hills de-
tectives, who have been working on
the case for some time. 1t was sew
eral months ago that the officials of
the company became confident that a
systematic manner of high grading
was being conducted in their mine
and Immediately detectives were
placed at work on the case.
Several days ago a John Doe war
rant was sworn out here and Sat
urday night 1t was placed in the
hands of the sheriff's office to be
served. The value of the ore found

termined as yet, as no assays have

ident of their capture.
Matthews is now confined in the
county Jail and will have his prelim.
mary hearing within the next few
days. This matter was kept quiet al
the request of the officers of the
Broken Hills company, who surmise
that there are several others impli
Gated in this case. 1t Is also stated
that several men who have been un.
der surveillance have left this city fol
parts unknown, having become aware
that they have been watched.
Matthews is well known in Tono
pah and southern Nevada. He wal
raised in Lincoln county, where h,
has a number of relatives who are
prominently connected with the af
fairs of that county. He has made
no statement as to his guilt or limo
cence and has given no explanation
as to how the ore came into his pos
session.

AT GREAT TONOPAH MINES
Sinking Has Been Resumed in MacNamara--Work of Installing the Immense
Electric Pump on the 1900 Level of the Mzpah Shaft Nearly Completed
Sinking to be Started in Red Plume Shaft Monday.

out on the lower levels of the Mid
way have cut a number of small
stringers which will be followed up
at a later date. At the present there
is considerable development work be-
ing done in the property and new
territory is being opened up. The
policy of the officials seems to be to
hoist only enough high grade to pay
the expenses and continue on with
the work of prospecting and develop
ment. Throughout the mine there is
practically no chanTe since the last
report. One of the officials and a
heavy stakeholder has spent consid-
cradle time during the past week in
inspecting the workings and reports
himself as being highly pleased with
the outlook.

MCNAMARA.

During the week the MacNamara
shipped 200 tons of ore to the Mon
mill for treatment. The total
of the shipment is somewhat low
this week owing to the inability of
hosting on the night shift for sew
eral nights on account of the work
being done at the bottom of the
shaft preparatory to sinking, which
was started yesterday. The shaft
had to be timbered near the bottom,
and now that this has been COM
pleted the work of sinking will be
rushed. A machine has been placed
on this work and it is expected that
the additional depth of 800 feet will
be reached within three months.
This is for the purpose of prospect
ing in some veins, which were cut by
the diamond drill some three months
ago.
200-Foot /Level-The work of
driving the west drift at this level is
progressing and the face is now in
about twenty feet on the vein.
Throughout the distance travelled the
values have been scattered. but now
the pay ore has started to concen-
trate and the face of the drift yes
terday showed a great Improvement,
some of the ore being classed as the
real high grade. In No. 5 stope,
about forty feet above the 200 level,
the work of driving an east drift on
the vein continues with practically
no change.
275-Foot Level-Stoping is going
on in two places on this level on the
vein, which shows an average width
of three and one-half feet of shipping
ore in both places.
300-Foot Level-The Slopes on the
vein at a point 500 feet west of the
shaft are now up about thirty feet
and show a face of about thirty-fivt
feet, and at the present time contains
about four feet of milling ore. Two
machines have been placed at worl
here to extract the high grade.

EXTENSION.

Nothing out of the ordinary has
transpired in the Extension property
during the week and the work of
prospecting on the 400 and 77O-foot
levels continues.
The new raise started last week on
the 400-foot level to strike the vein
cut by the Tonopah Mining company,
is now operating in good rock. The
south crosscut in the westerly work
ings is advancing rapidly and the
face shows stringers OF
quartz carrying small values.
The main west drift on the 700 is
progressing rapidly with NO change
in the face, which continues to show
porphyry.

800 Foot Level-The work on this
level is confined to the Nevada west
stope, which has ten inches of fair
grade ore in sight and the stope on
the South vein, which shows three
feet of a fair grade ore.
1000 Foot Level-The west drift
On the South vein has advanced
seventeen feet and is now in 162 feet.
The face of the drift shows about
two feet of fair grade milling ore.
About 80 feet from the face q this

is now up thirteen feet, and has
about three feet of good milling ore
exposed. The Occidental drift has
advanced about fifteen feet and is
now in 1875 feet from the 1908 cross
cut. The face shows about three feet
of broken quartz which carries small

of good milling ore. The extent of
the ledge here and the values are
steadily increasing. The work at the
point directly under the old Belmont
shaft, which was reached last week,
has been suspended for the present,
and consequently no work has been
done on cutting out the station
there. This will be resumed, how
ever, shortly.
1100-Foot Level-The west stope
from this level continues to look
about the same. The east stope on
