ENJOYABLE time
FOR DANCE Lovers
CHRISTMAS EVE
MINERS UNION DANCE is SURE
TO ATTRACT A LARGE
CROWD

Every arrangement for the grand
ball to be given Christmas evening
at the Miners Exchange hall by the
Tonopah Miners union, is practic-
ally complete and from the sale
of tickets, the crowd in attendance
should be a record-breaker. The
ball is for the benefit of the Min
ers' hospital and on this account it
will draw a good crowd. The COM
mittee, which handled nearly all of
the past dances, has been working
steadily since appointed, and win
leave nothing undone for the pleas
ure of the dance lovers. The floor,
which is always in excellent condi-
ton, will be looked after, while the
music will be of the> best obtain
able in southern Nevada. The Min
ers' union boys surely know how to
give a dance and will look after
their reputation as hosts at the
coming affair. A competent floor
committee will be in evidence to
see that dances are provided for all.

five BULLION
BARS BROUGHT IN
FROM LIBERTY
SECOND SHIPMENT is MADE
FROM TONOPAH-LIBERTY
MINING PROPERTY

A shipment of five bars of bull
lion was brought in from the Lib
erty mine yesterday afternoon by
Assistant General Manager Charles
A. Smith, and placed in the Wells
Fargo office for consignment to the
Selby smelling works. The bull
lion has an approximate value of
$4,000, which is the same as the
ten bars sent last week. This is
the result of the second cleanup
from the Liberty mill and from now
on it is understood that clean-up
Win be made every ten days.
The mill is now grinding away
steadily under the management of
9. R. Olson. mill superintendent.
while the value of the ore being
treated cannot be learned, it is be-
lieved to be better than fair
grade. An immense tonnage has
been blocked out in the mine and
the plant is in condition to run for
an indefinite time.
The property was worked years
ago by crude methods and an ante
diluvian mill served as means for
treating the ore. At that time
hardly half of the values were
saved, but the operators were sue
cessful in cleaning up small for
tune.
With the latest machinery in use,
the property should make good re-
turns on the investment made by
those now interested.
