EmuIating Grandfather.

Corporal Myer wished to emulate the
military record of his grandfather and
obtained an appointment to West
Point. He failed on the entrance ex
animation. He was unable to obtain q
second designation before he reached
the maximum entrance age of %
years.
In the meantime young Myer con-
cluded to begin at the bottom and
work his way up from the ranks, as
his granfather did. So he enlisted as
a private in the cavalry at New York
AS his grandfather founded the Signal
Corps of the army. Myer obtained a
transfer to that branch. A year ago
he was sent to the Signal Corps sta
ton at Fort Myer, where he remained
until the early summer In the mean
time he announced his determination
to take the competitive examination for
appointment as second lieutenant. This
he took last spring and failed. The
failure was attributed by his friends
to too much society,""
While at the Virginia fort Myer
found the enlisted mans life too irk-
some as compared with the free life
ne had led in Boston. SO, through
some of his grandfather's friends, he
obtained entry to Washington society
last winter. In this way he managed
10 be invited to a number of important
social functions, including a military
reception. Socially, Myer was simply
Mr.. Myer, grandson of the famous gen
eral, and all went we'll until an officer
from Fort Myer discovered Corporal
Myer at the military reception. The
attendance of enlisted men at such
functions is contrary to army social
usages. This put quietus on Myers
social career.
After failing to get his army APP
Dointment last spring Myer gave up
all hope OF military life and aspired
to be a pay-master in the navy. There
were but five vacancies and Myers
standing was sixth.

thing they needed had to be brought
from the states.
A man could easily carry a ton Of
drums, but the freight cost $75 just
the same. The quartermaster was very
generous in the matter of calculating
weights by measurement. In measuring
a WACO the length was from the /
end of the bed to the front end of the
chain, and the height to the top of the
cover and though the tongue was taken
off and the bows taken down, the meas
urements held good.

estimated at two tonsE$15O freight
from the mouth of the river to Yuma.
No wonder it was commonly said In
those days that no n in Yuma had a
board floor or even a board door unless
he stole from the quartermaster.
"In the early eos, gold and silver
mining began to be extensive, and
though the mining companies would not
stand for the sane measurements as
the quartermasteis, this industry add
ed greatly to the business on the river.
"Usually the run Of the boats was
as far as Fort Mojave, but in high
water trips were made as far as vir-
gin river in southern Nevada, nearly
500 miles erom the gulf.
"For a few miles of the run through
Eldorado canyon, between Fort Mojsve
and Virgin river, the paddle whee, was
insufficient to force the boat up against
the current and it had 10 be warped
up with a stean capstan and there are
many places where the river runs
around rocky points, yet during all the
years from the time the General Jes-
sup was launched there was no boat
wrecked. 1t may also be said that there
was never a boat buried. In fact, there
has never been but one serious accident
in the career of team navigation on the
Colorado.
"When the Southern Pacific reach
ed Yuma, a large part of the steam
boat business fell off and when the
A. & p. road was built it diminished
still more. Then came the depreciation
of silver and the consequent closing of
tha s;Ivar m;nau alouU the river. and
after this until Laguna dam was built,

TONOPAH BELMONT CO WENT
GREAT GUNS DURING JUNE

All the glowing reports as to the
condition and output of the Tonopah
Belmont mine during June have been
more than backed up by the official
statement of production for the month.
The report for the month of June shows
that 1926 dry tons were sent to smelt-
er, 6,175 dry tons to mill, the ore hav-
ing a total value of s276,434.54. The
statement also shows that the actual
net profit for the one month was $751;.
765.s2-which is going somc.
If anything was needed to prove the
richness of this mine, it was certainly
furnished by that report, which shows
that the general grade of the ore is the
richest being mined in the Tonopah dis
@trict, and places the Belmont at the
head of the list as a producer Of rich
ore. Added to this is the fact that
the vein producing this grade of ore
is the strongest in the district, having
been proven up for nearly 700 feet on
its strike and 400 feet on its dip, show
ing an average width of Is feet. While
a little stopping has been done, by far
the greater portion of the ore has come
from development work, thus proving

WOULD HAVE ELECTION OF
DIRECTORS INVALIDATED

l.. l.. Patrick has brought suit in the
district court to have the election of
directors of the D~iamondfell Black
Butte Re-organized Mining company,
held July 20, declared illegal. Aside
from the company, the defendants
named are: j. G.. Mckay, Ben Gill
and E. A. Byler, who it is allege9. were
illegally elected directors.
The complaint ~recites that on O.to-
Der y, 1909, the Diamondfeld Bleck
Butte Mining company was indebted to
the First National Bank in the sum If
$4,000, and to Marvin Ish to the amount
of sc, 637.12; that a letter was directed
to the Registration Trust company, of
which Thomas Manning was and is
president, authorizing that company to
bring suit in the name of the creditors
and after Judgment had been obtained
and at sale to buy in the property; that
having been accomplished to re-organ-
ize a company having a capital stock
of $4,000 900 divided into 100000
shares of the par value of 81; shares to
be assessable but in no greater amount
than one-half a cent in any quarterly
period; that thereafter the trustee COM
panv should send letters to stockholders
announcing that upon payment of one
cent a share old stock would be taken
in and stock of the new company issued,
a limit, however, of 80 days being
fixed upon during which such exchange
would be made.
The letter also instructed the trustee
company, after the Judgment and all
costs had been paid, to turn into the
treasury the balance and also any stock
which at the end of the 80 days had
not been taken up.
The complaint states that all re-
ouirements were fulfilled by the trustee
company, the property of the old com
pany having been acquired by lawful
