BASEBALL BUGS ALREADY
MAKING SEASONS PLANS
Effort Will Be Made to Create League
Including Tonopah, Millers, Manhat-
tan and Goldfield.

While the weather today has as
sumed a little reverse English and
turned backward towards winter,
nevertheless the ardent baseball fan
is busily engaged scheming and
planning for work on the diamond
during the coming season. With
the work of repairing the fence
around the ball park completed,
it is probable that enthusiasts will
take bat, ball and glove and COM
mence working out for the sea-
SON.
Just what plans will be made it
is as yet impossible to figure. How
ever, the suggestion is made that a
league be formed including Gold
field, Tonopah, Manhattan and Mil
lers, with probably two teams in
Goldfield and two in Tonopah. 1t
is further suggested that teams may
eventually be organized around the
different mines and thus form a
local league, arranging for occa-

sional outside games. Which plan
will eventually be followed is a
matter for the future to decide.
The one question that is bother
ing those most interested in the ma
tional sport is, who will take the
managerial reins of baseball in the
city of Tonopah for the coming sea-
son. Sheriff Ed Malley insists that
his time is too much taken up for
him to give the game the attention
it demands. He slips the buck to
DR.. Mcdonnell, while the latter is
equally as persistent that his Dus1-
ness will not permit of his bother
ing with the management. How
ever, the doctor is perfectly willing
to lend all possible aid, and will
get out on the diamond and do his
share of the work.
Within the next few days it is
expected that some definite plans
may be evolved and put into i'm
mediate effect.

POSTOFFICE
NOW RUNNING
VERY SMOOTHLY
NEW EQUIPMENT INSTALLED
AT TOTAL. EXPENSE
OF $37OO.

Following the natural delays that
must accompany such move, the
postoffice of Tonopah is once more
reaching its normal condition, after
being transferred to the new loca-
ton.
With the new equipment, fur
nished by Manager Govan of the
Mizpah hotel. Tonopah is enabled
to take her place among the best
offices in the entire state. The en-
tire equipment was installed at an
expense of $1,000, which speaks well
for its quality. Besides the new
combination boxes, considerable ex-
pense has been incurred to properly
fit up the internal portion of the
office, which is now in position
where it could handle twice the
amount of mail, should it become
necessary.
Ample locker room has been pro-
vided for the accommodation of the
clothing of employees and desks have
been supplied sufficient to accom-
modate considerable more help than
is at present employed in the local
office.

POSTOFFICE TO
CLOSE down ON
SUNDAY WORK

WASHINGTON, March "a
Sunday work in postoffices through
out the country is to be discon-
tinued so far as consistent with
rapid transmission of the mail.
1t is not proposed to close i'm
portant postoffices entirely. Certain
work to prevent congestion and de-
lay must be done. Mails will be
received and dispatched as hitherto
and arrangements will be made
~ a limited delivery through the
sy4eral delivery windows.
J, Special delivery letters will be
delivered and patrons of any Of
fee will be afforded the privilege
of having their mail delivered on
Sundays by depositing the required
fee for special delivery service.
Postmaster General Hitchcock to-
day issued instruction designed tc
carry into effect these ideas and
to afford employees of the postal
service one days rest in seven.

MONEY OF The
PRISONERS LONG
since FORGOTTEN

KANSAS CITY, March 2S.-More
than 500, in amounts ranging from
5 cents to $40, was found today
by assistants to the city clerk while
exploring deserted vault in the
attic of the city hall They also
found a number of watches and
rings, all enclosed in fadded en-
velopes.
The envelopes bore dates in 1901,
1902 and 1908. An investigation
showed that they had been taken
to the garret from the old police
surgical operating room and had
subsequently been forgotten.
The money and valuables had
been taken from persons who had
been injured and died in the gem
eral hospital. The money was
turned over to the city comptroller.

the relief of the Chinese famine
and plague sufferers the state de-

COUNTY HOSPITAL BEING
SURROUNDED WITH TREES

Mrs. Court, matron of the Coun-
ty hospital, is today busily engaged
with the aid of several of her
convalescent patients, planting a row
of bright-looking trees around the
hospital building. Neat fences are
being erected as projections around
the saplings that are being planted
and 1t is the belief of Mrs. Court
that the trees will add considerable
to the identification of the county
institution.

At the Belmont Extension mine,
Electrician Robinson is in charge
of the work of connecting the cleo

While considerable publicity had
been given to the meeting and cleo

volunteer fire department last eve

quorum, but two members of the

similar results to those of last

Another move in the right di-
rection, of importance to Southern
Nevada, and particularly to our
sister camp of Manhattan, was rec
orded a few days ago, when it
became known that the Original
Manhattan Mines company, one of
the pioneer and most enterprising
of the better known companies cp-
Grating in that northern camp, had
been reorganized on a limited as
sessable basis, and that the mine,
which has been practically closed
down for the past three years for
lack of working capital, will be re-
opened about May /, and work con-
.tinued indefinitely thereafter. The
company is re-organized under the
name Original Mining Company of
Manhattan" with Tonopah as it's
principal place of business; It's
capitalization is 81 ,0vu, ,000 shares,
81 each. The stock of the old
company is exchangeable until April
80, share for share, for stock in
the new company, upon payment of
the initial assessment of lie per
share. Stockholders have been
given notice Of the assessment, and
requested to forward all .outstand-
ing certificates to the secretary, c..
G. Boak, Tonopah, New, in order
that new certificates may be issued
them. The new charter provides
that the stock, may be assessable
for any Indebtedness of the COM
pany, and not to exceed one cent
per share per annum for develop
ment aud operating expenses. That
this is a most wise and judicious
move on the part of the stockhold-
ers of the old company there can
he no question, and We predict that
many more companies will soon
follow their lead. AS Mr. Boak,
father of the company and conser-
vative in all business matters, ex-
presses it: Il have been forced by
experience of the past few years
to recognize the assessment clause,

With the installation of the new
hoist it will be made possible to
sink the North Star shaft to a
depth of 1900 feet, the present

all possible speed to a depth of

even though it limits possible as
sessments to a small amount, as
a life insurance, to any legitimate
company and a protection to its
stockholders. Had our old articles
contained this clause when the
panic of 1907 struck us, we need
never have closed down, and it
would have saved our stockholders
a couple of hundred thousands of
dollars in the resultant depreciation
of their securities, and we would,
in all probability, have had the
mine on a paying basis, or at least
developed to an ineligible extent
by this time.'
The Original is one of the best
located pieces of mining property
in the Manhattan district. 1t is
patented, well and thoroughly
equipped, and was being developed
vigorously and successfully up to
the time of the bank failures of
1907. The main shaft is timbered
to a depth of 200 feet. Laterals
were run from the 65, 100 and 200
foot levels, exposing an enormous

thousand feet north Of the main
shaft, is sunk about 22S feet on a

out in sinking, but being a smelt-

"One unusual thing about the sales Of the Everglade land is that it is all being purchased practically without being seen. It is all a level prairie, and all looks alike, and is alike and the purchaser can buy with perfect safety. There may be a little advantage in getting located on a canal, but this cannot make very much difference as with the lateral canals put through one can not get a location very far away. There is no doubt that the dredge has solved the problem of the Ever glades and any sane man watching the progress of the work on the canals cannot have any doubts of the success of the undertaking.
 'on the whole l believe that the Eyerglade section will prove to be the most rapidly growing pert Of the United States. I believe that the development there will surpass any thing yet witnessed in this country and cannot see how anyone can possibly make a mistake in pur- chasing land at the present prices. !"
