flow of 10000 gallons an hour.
The mines of Pioche," said Mr..
Howell, are looking better than
they have been for a long time
past, and the ore blocked out has
had the effect of bringing in
number of capitalists, who are fig
uring on making a merger OF
the big properties in the district,
and if this deal goes through, it is
expected that a large force of men
will be put to work in the near
future. The Day mine at Jack
Rabbit, about seventeen miles from
Phoebe, is shipping 100 tons of ore
daily to the Utah smelters. -
According to the bank examiner,
Caliente is a lively town at this
time, due to the fact that several
thousand men are quartered there
who are employed by the Clark
interests in building the high line
of the Salt Lake & San Pedro
road through Meadow valley, WI
will save that road from the wash
outs that it has experienced sew
eral times during the last few years.
Mr.. Howell visited Virginia City
and went through the Mexican mine
about a month ago, and on his re-
turn, he gave the News an inter-
view in which he showed he pos
| sessed the courage of his convic-
tions, and stated that the Mexican
ore body at that time was one of
the best showings in the state and
that it would have the effect of
placing the Comstock among the big
producers of Nevada, and make its
{ stock most active of any on the
| different exchanges. Recent devel-
opments have proven Mr.. Howell's
predictions to have been correct
all of which goes to show that what
this country needs is a few more
TopCpah boosters, who know a goot
thing when they see it, and who are
not afraid to express themselves

DICKINSON HAS
QUIT THE CABINET
OF PRES. TAFT
II. l.. STIMSON OF NEW YORK
BECOMES NEW HEAD OF
WAR DEPARTMENT.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Jacob
M. Dickinson of Tennessee will be
succeeded as secretary of war in
the Taft cabinet by Henry L. Stim-
son of New York The announce
ment of the resignation of the sec
retary and the selection of Stimson
as his successor was made at the
White House last night, Dickin-
sons resignation will become effect
i've Immediately upon the qualifica-
ton of Stimson. The understanding
here is that Stimson will take the
oath of Office and enter upon his
new duties the latter part of next
week. Taft will confer with Stim-
son in New York, when the exact
date of the change will be deter
mined.
The resignation of Dickinson
marks the second break in the Taft
cabinet Dickinson gives business
reasons as his motive for retiring
from the cabinet. While there have
been reports from time to time in
the last year that he contemplated
returning to private life, the officia
announcement of his resignation
came as surprise to official and
political Washington.
1t was explained in behalf of Mr.
Dickinson that most of his private
fortune is invested in a coal com
pany in Tennessee. This concerl
was recently placed in the hands
of a receiver, and IN order to better
protect his interest he determined t.
resign. 1t is his purpose to return
to his home in Tennessee.
Secretary Dickinson will go t
his Tennessee home immediatel
upon the qualification of his SUE
cessor. He expects to devote hi
attention to business, and will no
return to the practice of law, il
which he was engaged when Presi
dent Taft appointed him secretar
of war in March, 1909.

pared for 450-ton mill, to be
built on the company's property in
| Tonopah.

ak" Smith is the dominant factor

mont. and it will be Immediately
equipped with heavy hosting and
pumping plant, with the view oi
dropping the shaft to a depth Of

is now erecting a 120-ton mill
which is expected to be ready tt
handle the company's ore sometime
in August.
Manager Haas of the MacNamart
property is having plans prepared
for an eighty-ton mill to be erecte,
at the mine. Mr.. Howell state
J that the Tonopah mine continues t
look excellent with it's $6,00O,00

its quarterly dividend of $400,0
can be looked ahead to for Ion
