RECENT DEVELOPMENT in
THE MANHATTAN MINES
Good Progress Being Made on the New
Mill So Leases Looking Good---News
Items From Round Mountain

The work of building the milling
plant for the Associated Milling
company is going ahead rapidly and
the site of the plant is a scene of
much activity just now, with a large
force of men employed. The con-
crete foundations and battery blocks
are complete, and excavating is now
being done for the tanks and the
sampler. The ten stamps are on
the ground, also the plates, and a
large amount of the machinery is
now enroute from Tonopah and is
expected to arrive in a few days A
substantial building is being con-
structed near the MILL which will
be used as an assay Office and SUI
perintendent's quarters.

Assny Onlce Cntches Fire.

Fire broke out in Percy Trains
assay Office last week but fortunate
ly little damage was done, due to
the prompt action Of the local vol
unteer fire brigade and a score of
persons with hand eXtinguishers,
which, by the way, always make
good when called upon. Mr.. Train
states that the fire was caused by
the generator of the furnace becom-
ing cold. The damage will amount
to about 500, and principally af-
fected the back room. The new
front office, Mr.. Train says, was
guaranteed to be fire proof, and was
found not wanting III the blaze, as
it escaped with scorched ceiling.

ROUND MOUNTAIN.

DR.. Carl Goblin, superintendent of
the Round Mountain Tungsten M.
& M. company, has returned from
San Francisco. While enroute he
stopped in GoIdfeld and closed a
contract with the Nevada-California
Power company to furnish power for
the operation of the mill. The sur
yey for the line was made by Tom
Perry who has charge of the com
pany's interests in the northern end
of Nye county. He was assisted by
w. l.. Gommo, who is connected
with the company at Round Noun
tain and Bert McFadden of Man
haitian. 1t is expected the work of
stringing the lines will be completed
within 80 days. The poles, wire and
accessories are now in Tonopah and
the excavating for the pole holes
is now being done. The mill on
the property will be completed by
the 18th of December.
Mill Is Busy.
General Manager Charles Rice of
the Blue Jacket has his mill in OPP
GRAFTON and excellent results are ex-
pected, as it is the intention of Mr..
Rice to mill everything in the same
manner as the Round Mountain Min
ing company operates. All the loose
gravel will be put through. He
will then glory hole" all of the
old placer workings where bedrock
has been reached and the entire
output will be put through the mill.
New Mail Schedule.
Round Mountain residents are
much pleased with the new stage

Steady Work at Swanson Lease.

Work at the Swanson lease on the
Earl is going ahead steadily and at
present is confined to the 150-foot
level, where a drift is being run
from the main shaft At a distance
of 80 feet feeder was encount-
cred which indicates that an ore
shoot is close. The shoot is ex-
pected to come in at any time now.

Mineral HilI Ledge IMPROVING.

The big ledge in the Mineral Hill
tunnel continues to show improve
ment An assay from particular
kind of sulphide ore near the foot
fall shows values of $1032O, this
being a different kind of rock from
anything observed in the Burr
Thomas shoot, which is the princi-
pal objective point of the work. This
mine is improving and also proving
prolific in its ores. In association
with the heavy free gold quartz at
the Burr-Thomas shaft has been
noted horn silver and also silver
bromide, but with the gold content
always greatly in excess of other
valuable metals.
The central part OF the hill, which
the tunnel will reach at about 1000
feet, is the center of an enormous
system of quartz veins. which radi-
ate in several different directions
1t has already been determined that
some of these veins do not reach
the surface and that all of them
increase in size with depth. While
the ledge in the drift reaches the
size Of six feet at the present face,
its outcrop does not attain to more
than two or three feet at any point
The compressor plant has its con-
nections made and the machine
drills are now running, which should
increase the rate of progress to
more than 200 feet a month.

Com Leasers in the Money.

Con" Leasers in the Money.
On the Consolidated ground, the
Mushett-Wittenberg, Steiner Con-
solidated and Kendall-Douglas leases
are rushing work and all have
large ore dumps piling up. All of
these leases are to be connected with
a tram and the ore milled at the
new Associated mill as soon as it is
completed. The three leases have
electric hoists in operation and are
well equipped for deep sinking. Ken
dali and Douglas, working through
the Vucanovich shaft, on the For
man fraction, expect to reach their
ledge within month, when they
will begin extracting ore.
l.. l.. Mushett, who is in charge
of work at the Wittenberg
lease, is very optimistic over the
showings there. He is certain that
his lease will be one of the big
producers on the hill, and every in
dication points that way. In a num-
Der of drifts in the lease good ore
has been struck, and in what is
known as the old Reeves incline
shaft three feet of ore has been
broken into that assays as high as
$50 per ton, Some very fine spe-
cimens have been secured at the
lease recently, which show the gold
to be literally sprinkled over the
rock.

drift. The ledge, which is three
feet wide, was struck at a depth
of 20 feet in the winze, or about
20 feet from the surface and gives
good paintings. The leasers have
done great amount of work on
their lease and it is indeed crafty
ing to learn that they have broken
into an ore body that gives indi-
cations of being very prolific.

MOTHER DIDN'T WANT YOUNG

FROM PLAYMATES.

Woman Kept Her Child Under
Lock and Key That He Might Not

New York.-'T want my boy to grow
up good and honorable. I don't want
him to learn bad things from the boys
in the neighborhood. I want him for
myself, to help me in case need it."
So Mrs. Annie De GRAF explained
why she had kept her eleven-year-old
son Henry locked up in the rooms of
her tenement. The little fellow is
now in the custody of the Children's
Society.
One look at the boy is sufficient to
dispel any idea of brutality or i'm
proper guardianship. Mother love, in
tense, almost animal, prompted Mrs.
De Graef to keep the child under lock
and key, to deprive him of all but I'M
derclothing, and to burn trousers and
waists smuggled in to him by the
sympathetic youngsters who lived in
the same house.
"There's too much badness here"
Mrs. De Graaf continued. II have seen
too much of it and I didn't want my
boy to be like the rest Of them. He
used to go to school, and he used to
play on the streets, but l was afraid.
So when we moved in here l made up
my mind that I would keep him away
from everything that was bad, and
teach him how to grow up good and
honest"
Then another phase crept into the
story. Il need that boy for myself.

DISFlGURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies. and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has q
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can

one Of the elementary schools.
''The teacher asked him if he
wished to say a word or two" said
DR.. Brumbaugh, and he did. He de-
cided to illustrate a point he was
making by problem in long division,
the intricacies of which the class had
just mastered. He put down the nee
essary figures and then said:
"'Now, let us see how many times
this number will go into the other.
Let us try six He tried six, and. as
he intended, six wouldn't do. Well,
let's try five, then he said. Five was
all right. and he went ahead with his
talk.
ION his way home that evening he
overheard two small boys with book
bags under their arms and heard this
conversation:
Say. Bill, did long-whiskered,

GREATEST OF LEGAL ORATORS
Proud Position That Has Been Ac.
corded to William Pinkney
of Maryland.

But by long odds the greatest Of our
purely legal orators was William
Pinkney of Maryland. His speeches
were the beacon lights that directed
the footsteps Of the Supreme court
of the United States in the formative
period of our government.
The great argument in the Nereide
prize law case is stepped in a richer
rhetoric than almost any other of his
speeches. The bold figure of Her.
cules crushing the Nemean lion has
been referred to as one of the sub.
FINEST in our oratory.
Seldom has any man been so abund.
antly equipped for the highest dis.
plays of eloquence, and this. too. was
largely the result of his later studies.
When sent as an ambassador to Eng
land he was asked at table one day
for his opinion on a certain Greek
phrase being discussed at the time,
and was ineffably mortified and hui.
inflated to confess that he knew moth.
ing Of the subject under discussion.
Then and there was born in him the
determination to be a classical schol.
ar and bending himself to the task
he became in few years highly pro-
ficient not alone in the ancient but in
the modern classics as WE'LL His
mind became reservoir of judicial
and literary learning and his speeches
began to bear the indefnable impress
of mental superiority.
His eloquence satisfied the intellect
as we'll as the love Of ornament. No
vocabulary ever surpassed his in full
and rounded excellence. Poetic to a
rare degree, yet governed withal by
an almost perfect taste, he clothed his
large philosophy in the sheen of such
a golden style as made it seem quite
a matter of course that Story and
Marshall should pronounce him I'm.
comparable" and that he should be
the boast of Maryland and the pride
Of the United States" 1t is not too
much to say that had all of his
speeches before the Supreme court
and elsewhere been preserved he
would have been universally esteemed
the greatest of legal orators in the
whole world. He was greater than
Isaeus or Lysias because his view was
broader and more philosophical and
his powers Of expression by far more

A Timely Tip,

This is an excellent season for bring
ing out the family lace box and going
through it carefully to see what treas
ure it really contains. There are an
infinite number Of ways in which bits
of lace may be employed. Not the
least of these is a garniture on ones
new spring millinery. Some Of the
very smartest hats are to be trimmed
with lace or made entirely Of it. White
lace is especially favored and will be
seen on picturesque bonnets as we'll as
on smart walking toques. One of the
new designs is bonnet made of white
lace and trimmed with ruchings of
narrow black velvet. The only other
garniture is posy of tiny pink roses.
A toque of black straw has a jabot of
white lace going up the front and over
the crown something after the man.
