an interesting program following
which various boxes of home made
candies were sold for sixteen cents

crate boxes were sold for higher
prices, especially when the bidders
were aware of the identity of the
owner and maker of the sweets
During the evening tea, coffee and

NEAT. sum HAS
BEEN EXPENDED ON
COUNTY ROADS
OVER FOUR THOUSAND DOL
LARS SPENT DURING THE
PAST YEAR.

There was considerable discus
sion on the streets yesterday re-
garding the statement in an even
ing paper that but few hundred
dollars had been expended by the
county commissioners on the diff
ferent county roads during the year
1909. The statement was erro-
neous to the extreme, and was evil
IDENTITY published with some hidden
desire. The truth regarding the
road appropriations for the past
year is shown in the following
figures taken from the minutes OF
the board yesterday, at the re-
quest of the commissioners:
Glendale. $50; Round Mountain,
$5S9.94; Golden Arrow, $3.50; Rhy-

$212.5O; Fish Lake Valley, $500;
Belmont, $50; Berlin-Grantville

hundred dollars, as the outside

ATTORNEY HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
FROM INJURY
WORDY BATTLES ENSUE DUR
ING THE HEARING OF
LIEN CASES.

Bailiff McFadden in the district
court is having his hands full OF
late maintaining peace among the
attorneys appearing in the lien
cases against the Carlson Mining
and Milling company. Several
times during the last few days
two of the attorneys have nearly
came to blows and on one occa-
sion one of the legal lights threat
ened to break a chair over the
head of a brother practitioner, who
made constant objections to the
questions propounded to a wit
ness.
Fortunately no casualties nave
resulted as yet, but there still re-
mains several days before the trial
is concluded. The frequent out
breaks among counsel has tended
to enliven the proceedings and in
iect a little interest into the case.
In all. there are four different at
torneys appearing on behalf OF as
many clients who have filed liens
against the bankrupt company. The
effort to establish these liens has
been delayed considerably owing
to the fact that when one attorney
endeavors to introduce his evil
dence the three opposing counsel
ors Immediately take sides ane
act as prosecutors against the ion'
individual. This has happened sew
eral times and was the cause 0
the threatened chair smashing epi
sode.
In order to hurry the proceeding
along, Judge Averill held a sas
sion last night and 1T is propa
BILE that the arguments Will CON

CONFUCIUS WAS
AN AUTHORITY ON
DANCE AFFAIRS
HE USED TO LEAD THE GRAND
MARCH ON ALL STATE
OCCASIONS.

Confucius said, Dance whenever
the occasion affords, but keep away
from the Salome styles" And
Confucius ought to know for his
torians say he was one of the
greatest dancers of his time. His
speciality was the Irish jig but ira
ditions state he was just as expert
in the mazes of the moonlight waltz
or skipping about in two-step.
As Con. was an authority on the
subject, and the dance lovers of
Tonopah are in keeping with the
times, it has been suggested that
every one follow the crowd this
evening and join the merry whirl at
the Miners Exchange hall. This is
the occasion when the volunteers
entertain and a written guarantee
is being given with every ticket
sold that a good time will be the
special event of the evening. Sew
eral hundred fire laddies will be
on hand to act as the HOOr COLI
mittee and it will be against the
rules and regulations, as covered
in the bylaws of the organization
to sit out even one dance. AS the
committee will be unable to fur
nish all the girls they have re
quested the male dancers to brin'
as many ladies as they possibl.
can, the more the merrier.
The following are the differen
committees who have charge o
the affair:

GOOD ASSAYS
FROM COPPER DYKE
400 FEET WIDE
ORE FROM THE ATWOOD DIS
TRICT VALUED AT $50
A TON.

Frank Everett, who arrived sew
eral days ago from the Atwood dis
trict, received the assay certificates
yesterday from a half dozen SAM
pies secured from the surface on
a. huge copper ledge in that sec
ton. The returns from the as
sayer were somewhat startling and
caused surprise among the mining
men who are familiar with the
Fairplay district. One sample car
ried over $40 in copper and about
So in silver and gold, while the
balance are over the average.
Mr.. Everett happened to prospect
the big copper dyke by accident.
The ledge or vein, or dyke, what
ever it may be termed, is 400 feet
wide and can be traced over the
ground controlled by Mr.. Everett
for 1000 feet. However, it is
observable for fully five miles in
the district Mr.. Everett yesterday
purchased nine claims which are
traversed by the groupings, which
will form a part of the Wagner
Azurite Copper Mining company, the
concern already owning valuable
ground in the Wagner district. Sew
eral days before his return here
Mr.. Everett started a force of mel
at work on tunnel which vii
cut the big ledge at a distance Q
500 feet and which will be 90
feet in depth at that point.
The copper industry is a neN
one in this section and from tn
present showings it bids fair t
surpass the gold and silver out
put. Mr.. Everett leaves this morn
ing to superintend the work
opening up the vein.
