SHELTER AVERAGES $53
PER TON.

Smith, Danforth and Dougherty,
who are leasing on the Jim Butler
ground, yesterday received the re-
turns from thirty tons of ore sent
several weeks ago to the smelter

of the shipment averaged $53 a
ton. The ore was extracted on the
5OO-foot level of the gold hill
shaft and a former shipment from
the same vein gave returns of sos

now using machine drills in the
extraction of the high grade and
before long expect to have another
shipment ready. There have been
several consignments to the smell
tiers from this lease and all have
Welded unusually high returns. Tne
present condition of the under
ground workings shows practically
no change and the dimensions o.
the vein, from which the shipping
ore is extracted, presents FAVOR
able appearance.

Weather MAN
At San FRANCISCO
TAKE WARMING
HAVE CONTRACTED HABIT OF
PREDICTING SNOW FOR
TONOPAH.

Wanted-A weather man who
will prognosticate fair and warmer
climatic conditions at least once a
month. Apply, with recommended
tions, to Tonopah.
United States Weather Observer
j. c. Piercy, Sr., who for the past
two years has endeavored to hand
out all kinds and classes of wealth
err, has done nothing of late but
predict 'snow and colder" Some
times it showed and sometimes 1t
didn't. But eventually, after week
of GOODNESS the goldarned snow
would arrive. The weather yester-
day was supposed to be warm, and
to the surprise of all, the fore
cast was true. But today snow is
predicted.
The local weather bureau is not
allowed to make any deductions for
the coming weather. This Is done
by the expert forecasters at San
Francisco who gather their data
from several hundred towns on
the Pacific coast. including Alaska
and Nevada. All these reports are
placed in basket, weighed and
analysed. The weight is divided
by six and the result is compared
to a chart. OF course the reports
from several of the towns go as
tray which accounts for the vary
ing result.
But of late the numbers have
seemed to hit the snow section witt
increasing regularity. If there i
anyone in this district who can con
scientiously predict fair weather TO
the rest of the winter we wish n
would call at this Office and secur
steady situation.

Professor Sanford B. Dinsmore

COMET LOST
LUMINOUS LOOK
LAST EVENING
WILL ONLY BE VISIBLE TO
NAKED EYE FOR TEN
DAYS MORE.

The great and only comet,
which the Bonanza has described as
being Halley's comet, did not APP
pear with its usual brightness last
evening and it took several looks
to locate the aerolite in the west
ern skies. The reason for the
dimness, we are unable to explain,
but it was easily apparent that
there was an extra droop in the
tail of the celestial visitor which
did not wag with the customary
good nature. 1t may be probable
that the comet is angered at the
slowness of the big observatories
to take notice of its presence.
This gives rise to the question il
the thing is Halley's comet. The
Bonanza contends it is, for as we
were the first observers OF the
heavenly body with the eccentric
orbit and luminous tail (see Web
ster's) we think it right to as
cribe such a name as we see mt
! And we have therefore chirstenet
the object as Halley's comet. Dis
patches from the big observers re
ceived yesterday were to the efec
that the comet would only be Wis
ible for ten days, or rather nights
when it would once more pass int
oblivion.

EDITORIAL BRIEFS

It is recognized by Its le ad CTS that the R epublic c an machine is not in the best of condition. It needs tinker ing here and there and almost everywhere: In New York the Aids exposure presents a scandalous situation which will require all the splendid prestige of Governor Hughes administration to eff a c @. President Taft keenly appre- ciates perilous possibilities not only as represented in the New York situation, but in Washington, in the middle west and in the extre m e northwest, and besides the Republican manipulation of the Arizona statehood measure is enough to effectually con- demn the administration.

Free to Roam
 and Steal Again

The gypsies are out of jail. Mary, the queen. had many msledic,ions for the officers and called down the curses ei the spirit on their heads. For . couple days Deputy Jeff Adams has been investigating into the presence of little nine year.old white girl at the gypsies' camp. The matter had been called to the attention of the sheriff's office.
 A little girl living in the west part of the city who played with tho white girl near the gypsies' camp told the officer that the white girl said that the gypsies took her in Indian and that her mother was still living. In the last few years there have been several mysterious disappearsnces of children in that state reported by the press, and this story aroused the interest of the authorities. On investigation, however, and the advice of the district attorney that the evidence was not sufficient, the matter has been drop. ped.-PhoenIx Gazette.

Bones of Chinese
 Being Sent Home

Deputy Sheriff A W Howe, who arrived in town yesterday afternoon, saw . curious sight at Fairbsnk Mon. day when the Gusymas train to the cosst stopped there. In the express car were iity-one boxes containing the bones of Chinese who had died in the Altar district and in the vicinity of Hermoeillo in several years.
 They had been collected by agents oi the Chinese Six Companies under the contract into which they enter with all Chinamen who cone co this country, that their bones shall finally rest in China.
 The Six Companies, however, only partially fulfill such contracts. They leave the bodice buried so long that only fragments of the bones are found and thus the cost of transportation is iessened' These boxes were all of the same size, Tn breadth and width they were like typewriter boxes, but they were not more than five inches in height
 The boxes were being shipped through ID bond. Why that was SO vas not clear, since the bones of chiDamen are not dutistie and nc law would be evsded should they re- main in this country.
 It is surmised. however, .that- the United Ststes government was not sure that the boxes contained only bones, and it therefore took steps to assure itself that they should pass through the country.
 Witho0t the Sin bond" prscaution the boxes could be held in San Frsncisco. whence opium or other SOD ntrsbsnd contents could be dissemi- hated through the country. The boxes were consigned to Hong Kong.
