heavy production is now being made by
the leasers, who will undoubtedly clean
up handsome profit from their opera
tions, which are limited to above the
100-foot level.
The Belmont company has within the
last few days opened fine ore body
on the 200 level, under the Burke
lease. 1t promises to be fully as good
as what the leasers have been develop.
ing for some time.
Another lease has been granted on
the Belmont, north of the company
shaft, to Fitzgerald, Morris and 0 Dom
nell brothers. They have good block
of ground and nave fine chance to du-
plicate the discoveries of their neigh
bors. Several other people have been
looking over the property lately with
a view to leasing, so that the Belmont
may soon be one OF the hveliest places
in the Diamondfeld section.

CRossCuT Is STARTED FOR
ORE ON CHEROKEE LEASE

After being troubled for some time
to find favorable ground in which to cut
station in the Cherokee shaft ON the
Atlanta. for the purpose of crosseuttirg
to the ore which was passed through
at SAG feet, station has now been
cut at 6l5 feet depth, and the crosscut
will be driven as rapidly as possible
to reach the ore. 1t is estimated that
about fifty feet Of driving will be neces-
sary to cut the vein, and it is believed
that shipping values viii be opened
when the vein is reached. Sampling OF
the streak when it was passed Through
by the shaft showed values from v
to SIS per ton.

IN LEASING Is THE
NEW POLICY ON DAISY PROPERTY

from the $50 level will soon be started.
With this additional depth it is posi-
Bile that the north and middle veins will
have dipped together, and formed a new
body of ore, and crosscut will be driv-
en- to the south vein to undereut the ore
bodies now being worked on the 800
level.
Millard 4 Jones are still getting most
encouraging results from their lease, and
making fair production of good ore.
Rumors have been rife locally and
spread all over the country to the effect
that the Daisy mine was to be closed
down, but the increased activity that
has been inaugurated under the broader
leasing system effectively lays those
rumors ON the shelf.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-09-04

Expansion, instead of reaction, is to
lie the policy of development on the
Daisy property under the broader pow
ers now held by Chas. d. Wilkinson, who
was elected to the presidency of the
Daisy Mining company at the recent
meeting in New York. The election of
Mr.. Wilkinson to the presidency IS 9

as an organizer and mine manager aud
is in keep ag with his policy of NOR :

affairs. BY this move, the xoense OF
maintaining an Office in New York ard
the delay in transacting important busi-
ness of the company is eliminated, and
full charge of affairs is placed in Mr..
Wilkinson IS hands.
Mr.. Wilkinson is firm believer in
the benefits of the leasing system, and
in pursuance of those views will in

greatly help the development of the
Cactus Peak section, but will also bene
fit Goldfeld.
Mr.. Tucker and his associate, Mr..
Holman, have a shaft sunk ON their
property about 60 feet, and are now
prosecuting TO open the vein at that
depth, where they have broken into a
fine body of quartz.
The Cactus Range Mining company,
adjoining the Tucker and Holman
group, has shaft down 225 feet, and
it is likely that the Thompson strike
will induce them to soon resume ope-
rations. Mr.. Tucker expects to go out
there again within a few days and
will have more information when he
returns.

BLOWER Is PUT ON AT
NANCY DONALDSON SHAFT

A blower was added to the quipment
of the Nancy Donaldson this week, it
being found that the workings were
not getting proper ventilation.
The shaft is down 80 feet and has
dropped on vein, the strike Of which
is north and south, and dipping east.
The values as yet are small, but the
quartz is of a lively character and indi-
Gates important discoveries in the near
future. The formation as exposed in
the bottom of the shaft is much more
regular than at surface.

Operations were resumed about
month ago, and in the work of clean
ing up, the streak of ore was opened
in good shape. Specimens Of the ore
carry very high values, being of .
tellurium character, and gold roasts out

that the lease is about to develop into
a steady producer, which will add
much interest TO activities around Dia-

NEW YORK, May 1S-A story of
death and hardship due to mosquitoes
was told by Capt. Frederick Weeks.
navigator of the Vereston, a small
British steamer now in PORT from King
ston. The vessel was brought to New
York by a crew of negroes because
nearly all of the regular crew are dead
or recuperating from malaria fever,
due to the insect bites.
The Vereston had gone up the Ma
deria river, a branch Of the Amazon,
100 miles from Para, with railway sup
plies. There was a stop at Porto Velpo
for twenty-one days, and, although the
men were screened in at night, they
were bitten in the day by huge mos
quitoes. OF the twenty-three members
of the crew seventeen contracted the
fever.
Two firemen who weighed 200 pounds
were so emaciated when they got to
Kingston that their relatives failed to
recognize them.
The homeward trip started March 20,
as the Vereston went down the river.
The day before Kingston was reached
another man died, and the next night
a fireman died just as the ship was
making port.

BARRIERS OF PIER AVENUE
DISTRICT INCREASE PRICES
Long Hair and Boards to Be Stylish
at Ocean Park This
Summer

OCEAN PARK, May 1S.-Long hair
and boards promise to be prominent
among the masculine styles to be
ing season, unless one is able to shave
himself or has sufficient athletic ambi-
ton to walk to Santa Monica or Venice
for a shave or hair cut. The BARRIERS
of the Pier avenue district have raised
the schedule and now charge So cents
for a hair cut and make an extra
charge for shaving the bristles from the
back of the neck.
The shops on either end of the bay
have spurned the efforts of their Pier
brethren to induce them to come in on
the good thing and prefer to reap the
harvest of trade which goes to their
shops for tonsorial work at the same
old rates. The business man of Los
Angeles will start a little earlier in the
morning and have his work done in the
city, While a number of local people
who are not inclined to pedestrian
stunts will appear for a few days with
sundry patches of court plaster dis
tributed over their faces and hair
trimmed a la mushbowl. A cutlery
dealer has been obliged to have rush
stock of razors shipped in by express,
while the livery stable proprietnrs have
fixed the rate for lending horse clippers
at 10 cents hour.
The Venetian tonsorial artists say
that they can see no reason why they
should raise the price on their Gus
toners, especially when the trade is
being driven their way by the short

SERVED Merry NAT
WITH EGGS ON TOAST

NEW YORK, May iS.-Nervy Nat is
loose again and up to his old tricks.
He appeared, unannounced, yester-
day morning in the home of Mrs. W.
e. Brockner, Passaic and Linden
streets, Hackensack N. j., and politely
but firmly made known the fact that
he was ready for his breakfast and if
Mrs Brockner would be kind enough
he would take it away under his arm.
''Kind lady" said Merry Nat, please
don't get excited. Although / rested
very well last night in my private car
in the railroad yards I do not feel
strong enough to witness a scene. So
please be considerate and hasten the
victuals."
The door being blocked by the grace
full figure of Nat, Mrs. Brockner had
no alternative and soon four fresh eggs
were sizzling on the frying pangand
eight pieces of toast were trimmed and
buttered.
"And now" said the tramp, as he
started for the door with his breakfast
neatly tied in a bundle, 81 am off to
narts unknown. Au revoir."
When the police started in search Of
Merry Nat they hoped to find some
trace of him, but not crumb of the
breakfast did the tramp leave behind
for clew.

Plan to Built Temple Which Will
Cost More Than Five Hum
dred Thousand DoIars

CHICAGO, May 1S.-With coptribu-
lions received from every corner of the
globe, the Bahaists are planning to
build a temple in Wilmette, suburb
of Chicago, which will cost more than
100000
The temple is to be called Mashrek-
el-Azcar, which is mixture of modern
and oriental architecture. 1t will be
modelled after a similar temple, Eshka-
bad, in Russia, the plans for which
were drawn by Bahia Ullah, father of
the Abdul Babel of Galilee, the present
leader of the Bahaists.
The building will have nine walls and
contain nine fountains. The temple is
to symbolic perfect man and the per-
feet world, and each fountain is to
typify a world religion, as the Bahaists
insist that through their religion all
others win be unified.
The BahaistS now number more than
1 200, 900 believers, and each has made
a contribution toward the proposed
Chicago temple.
Although the majority of it's men,
bers are in the orient Chicago has
been selected by the Bahaists as the

gion.
