DIRECTORS OF FLORENCE
TODECIDE FUTURE POLICY
Definite Plans Will Be Arranged When
Directors Meet at GoIdfield in About
Week---Manager Lockhart Returns
to Los Angeles.

Thomas G. Lockhart, vice presi-
dent and managig director of the
Florence-Goldfield Mining company,
who came here from his home in
Los Angeles Immediately after the
burning of the Florence mill, re-
turned to the south Thursday after
noon after inspecting the damage
resulting IRON the conflagration of
last Saturday. In an interview Just
prior to his departure Mr.. Lock-
hart stated that no plans for the
future could be formulated until
the arrival of President A. D. Park
er, who is expected here within a
week, when there will be a meet
ing of the directors to determine the
future policy of operations.
The amount of the insurance is
not known by Mr.. Lockhart, this
matter having been left in the hands
of President Parker, and the insur-
ance adjusters had not arrived at
the time of Mr. Lockhart's depart
ure, although they were expected
to arrive at any time. In their
absence, however, little progress
could be made in removing the
wreckage of the mill, excepting that
which was in such a position as to
impede the opening of the main

shaft, the installation of the gal
lows frame from the old Hall Flor
ence lease shaft and the prepare
tions about the collar of the main
shaft.
Good progress has been made in
repairing the damage sustained UNI
derground, which was not serious.
Five sets of timbers at the collar
of the shaft were burned and are
being replaced. The pumping plant
will not be seriously affected and it
will require but few days to UNI
about 60 feet of water that ran in
during the fire. To take out this
water it is necessary to bucket it
to the eighth or 530-foot level, by
means tof the supplementary hoist
installed on that level, and from
this point the surface pump handles
it without trouble. There was some
fear that the new timbers in the
lower part of the shaft, where the
ground has given much trouble,
would swell and buckle, but this
has apparently not happened, and
it is believed that everything will
be in good shape to continue sink
ing and lateral development within
a week.-Goldfeld Tribune.

is not a whim peculiar to those two
couples. Most blind people feel
that way. They demand the light,

LOWERING THE DEATH RATE
Figures Show That Fight Against Tu
bercuIosIs 10 Being Waged
Successfully.

We have the assurance Of DR..
Woods Hutchinson, writing in the
Worlds Work, that the death rate
from tuberculosis has declined 10 per
cent. In the decade-which means q
saving OF $1,000 to 10000 lives a
year in the United States. The in
FAINT mortality rate is falling with
equal rapidity, which means annu-
ally saving of 10000 babies from
those Herods of the twentieth CEN
tury-the little fevers of childhood,
dirty milk and overcrowding. The
death rate in all of our great cities
is being steadily beaten down to a
lower and lower level every year.
The advance census reports show a
lower national death rate than ever
before by nearly 10 per cent.
The fight against tuberculosis is
steadily becoming more and more a
fight for better housing, more play
grounds, better food and more of it,
shorter hours Of work, decent and
civilized shops, workrooms and fac
tories, higher wages, better educa-
ton in the laws of health. We have
laid the bugbear of its transmission
by meat and milk, and are concen-
trating our fire upon the place where
the bacillus breeds-the infected

Didn,t Suit WASHINGTON.

in which Washington was said to
have spent a night. 1t was in 1889,
when Washington made tour OF

there were certain things about his
stay at the Milford tavern which he
did not enjoy. The supper set be-
fore him consisted of boiled meat
and potatoes. He was not pleased
with the meal and asked for bowl
Of bread and milk. The landlord
brought the new order and a broken
pewter spoon with which to eat it.
"Have you no better spoons than
this?" asked General Washington.
