RICE-SCHEFTELS

Halter discovered ore in the Lucky
Boy group, j. II. Miller and j. f.
Adams of Hawthorne became con.
WINGED that the enrichment extended
into the Mountain King Claim and
they therefore purchased the control
of the Goldfield Alamo company from
the principal stockholders at Goldfeld,
In the meantime, however, all record

finds itself in control of a company
without a complete knowledge of the
stock ownership.
"Adams and Miller leased the Noun

ted to have produced 100000 in
silver-lead ores. The company is now
working on its own account, and Mr..
Adams, who is the secretary, says
there is an ore shoot on the 500-foot
level proven for a length of $50 feet
and more than six feet across at its
greatest width. This face of ore av-
erages, he says, 43 per cent lead and
$40 ounces of silver, or more than
5000 a ton. At the 550-foot level 100
feet of drifting has been done and Mr..
Adams says it is all in ore. He thinks
the exposed reserves in the mine are
at present worth 100000. The mine
is said to be improving with depth.

thing is being done to expedite the
hauling of the ore when the Annex be
gins to pull it up, and from the bust
ness-like way in which Manager Wat

he is giving it, it can be safely pre-
dicted that the hackers of the Annex
are going to get everything that is

I. 8 6. CLEARING
GROUND FOR SHOP

The work of clearing the territory purchased and allotted to the
Tonopah and Goldfeld railroad as a site for its depots, railroad
shops and roundhouses, commenced yesterday. The various cab
ms are being removed and within the next week or ten dys the
ground will be at the disposition of the building forces.
At the Tonopah general Offices, engineers have been steadily at
work during the past week drawing plans for the several proposed
buildings and also maps of the course the connecting spur track is t.
take. Because of the fact that the engines and other equipment of
the road have been moreo or less exposed to the elements since the
burning of the shops at Tonopah, President Cutter and other officials
have planned, now that the site question has been settled, to push the
building operations with the greatest speed possible.

Queen Consolidated lease on blocks 8

it has been in disuse.

WINGFIELD TAKES OFFICE.

George Wingfeld, president of Gold
field Consolidated Mines company, has
taken offices in the Gazette building at
Reno. The great volume of business
that Mr.. Wingfield has to attend to
has made it necessary that he have
regular offices where it can be trans
acted.

to six inches wide, runs from $4,000

The Comstock has often been report

this opening up in territory entirely
virgin, there is no doubt of a new and
long lease of life for Virginia City.

Madison Hicks, who was recently

Doing Sums

Say, little lad and the book you had.
With the long examples in;
With the hours spent late Ger the oft
rubbed slate,
And the brow where the wrinkles spin
Their fretful webs, do you mind the ebbs
OF the hopes that you had to get
Your sums all done ere the set of sun,
And your tasks unfinished yet?
For twice sixteen are thirty-two,
And two aid two are four
But it won't work out, and in worry and
doubt
We puzzle it DER and DER.
And if to bed with an aching head
And a heart that is grieved and sore,
Well get up right when the dawn is
bright
And tackle the sum once more.
oh, the hours spent and the discomfort
At the problems still undone,
And a weary sigh at the darkening sky
And the wane of the playtime sun;
So l think I know how the things
should go
In the sums l have to do
OF later life, but it's worry and strife,
And the doing is never through.
For twice nineteen are thirty eight
And two and two are four
With my head bent late Ger the oft
rubbed slate,
And the sum done DER and DER.
For the sum of life is toll and strife,
But what If our hearts be sore?
Wen get up bright when the dawn
grows light,
And tackle the thing once more

A Girl Who Talks With Birds

The ability to talk with birds is the
queer accomplishment of Reina V.
Wright, young woman of Is. at Fond
du Lac Wis. She can talk to almost
any bird SO that it will answer. six
years ago she began to haunt the woods,
and after learning the notes of the
wild songsters, began to take lessons
from roosters and other barnyard
fowls. Then she studied the languages
of eats and dogs and cattle, with con-
siderable success. Her ability in bird
initiating attracted the attention of
people, who helped her 10 attend the
Ralston University ef Expression and
Physical Culture at Washington, and
she is now a teacher OF elocution.

Beating the Boys

At Elkhart, Ind, few days ago they
had a stone throwing contest in which
25 boys and as many girls participated.
The throwing was at mark placed rs
feet away and to the establishment of
everybody the prize of a SIS gold piece
was won by girl 10 years old named
Emma Lee. 1t is said that all the
boys went home from the contest so
mad that they didn't get TO sleep that
night until long after midnight. The
only reason that all girls can't throw
stones as well as boys is because they
throw overland instead OF giving the
arm a swing A little practice viii do
the trick.
