ent in the camp expected to en-
counter ore in sinking, but that
every one would find ore in paying
quantities when crosscuts we're start
ed and opened to any reasonable
distance. This rich strike bears
out our never-lagging faith in the
future of the Tonopah mines.
The Fraction shaft was extended
to a depth of 230 feet. from which
point the first crosscut was started,
and at a distance of 20 feet in the
north opening, the ore body was en-
countered. When the rich ruby
silver quartz with a generous plas-
ter of horn silver was brought to
the surface and the reports spread
that three feet of ore had been
blasted into, with not means OF
determining the extent of the ore
body. the people of Tonopah stam-
peded with excitement and joy.
AS we go to press the word reaches
us that ten feet Of ore has been ex-
posed and the ledge is still widen
ing The ore averages $243.50 per
ton, of which $63 is in gold.
This is but the first of a num-
ber of strikes that will be made.
The Tonopah Consolidated company
have the same formation as the
Fraction. They are down IT'S feet
and are in fine lode porphyry. At
the 200foot level they will begin
to crosscut and 1t is almost a GER

The West End company is sinking

PIONEERS OF 1901 WHO
With Brdwn and Courage Helped Build
THIS GREAT MINING CITY
Will Meet This Evening In Reunion at the
Mizpah Grill--Mulligan Stew and Bacon
and Beans to Be Served Upon Tin Plates
and Coffee Drank From Tin Cups.

Tonight at s o'clock at the Miz-
pah Grill the pioneers of Tonopah
OF the year 1907 will gather around
sagebrush fire and eat mulligan
stew and beans and bacon, just as
they did in the early days of this
city, which, at that time, was a
little camp of tents and dugouts.
This morning while a few of the
sturdy pioneers of 1901 were gath
cred together talking of the early
day happenings in Tonopah-now
the greatest silver and gold mining
district in the world-some one of
the boys remembered that it was
just ten years ago today, April 90,
1902, that the rich body of ore
was shot into in the Fraction
ground, what was then called by
our townspeople "Uri Curtis Well, /"
for at that time everybody scoffed
the idea OF finding ore on the
west side of Main street. rine Frac-
tion shaft where this rich body
of ore was found can today be
seen on the ground south of
Finley's carpenter shop 1t was this
strike that started the boom for
Tonopah. The Fraction stock then
jumped from few cents to "a per
share, and the rush was on, and
from that day to this, new discov-
cries have been and are being made.
II was upon this anniversary day
that caused the reunion to be held
tonight. At least S5 of the "old
BOYS" will be on hand to listen to
"reminiscences of the early day doings
in Tonopah.
The following article appeared in
the Bonanza Of April %. regarding
tie great Fraction strike. The
striqe was made on the 22nd day
of April 1902, The Bonanza al

SEVEN BABIES
IDENTITY UNKNOWN
ARE HOMELESS

NEW YORK. April 22.-
Seven babies, whose parents,
or mothers at least. perished
in the Titanic horror. and
whose identity may never be
known, are being tenderly
cared for in New York
founding asylums. The
babies were thrown to the
lifeboats by their parents.
No one knows their names
and their clothing gives no
clue. In the frenzy of the
departure from the sinking
liner. nobody remembers
what parents dropped their
babies to the water, hoping
that they might be saved.
Efforts to have survivors on
the Carpathia identify them
failed.

TRUST BUSTERS

The Federal Government is now
paying out more than million
dollars year to legal Trust Bust
ers in detectives and lawyers fees.
No one for a moment claims that
the public is going to be benefited
through the dissolution of the Oil
and the Tobacco Trust. The in
creased expense of conducting
these great enterprises will have
to be paid for by the ultimate con-
sumer.
Also, it is impossible to restore
competition as once existed. You
can't "unscramble eggs" And the
public would not be benefited even
if you could. In America, we have
passed beyond the point where we
believe in confscating property /;
but by injudicious or conscience
less prosecution we may persecute
and we may destroy values.-The
Philistine.

MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

The Sabbath School of the
First Baptist church, Monte Vista,
Colo, has adopted the following
resolutions:
I'VE record with unusual sorrow
the removal, by death Jan. 8, of
Bro. G. j. King of Greenfield,
N. M who for long period had
been a steadfast and generous sup
porter of our Sabbath school and
it's Superintendent for a year or
more.
In him was rare combination
of dignity, grace and devotion,
alike to business affairs and 10
those of the Kingdom of God; a
high minded, broad minded, large
hearted, sagacious young man,
whose ability and virtues won for
him large place in the esteem of
his fellow men and made him a
natural leader, whom his brethren
delighted to honor in our denom-
national enterprises.
THE memory of his noble, gen
ial life, of all those qualities that
made him a Christian gentleman
of the highest type, remains to us
an inspiration.
1--WE express to his bereaved
family our sincere sympathy in
their great loss.
"Be it further resolved that a
copy of these Resolutions be sent
to the bereaved family, one each
to the STANDARD" Bardstown,
KY, and the Monte Vista papers,
and also these Resolutions be
placed on record of the Sabbath
school,"

PEACANNING FACTORY

w. A. Braiden secured lot of
samples of garden peas which were
raised by E. X. Ball, south of
town, and shipped them Wednes-
day to Denver parties, who repre-
sent eastern capitalists and who
are figuring on putting in a pea
canning-factory at this place.
These samples were as fine as
can be grown anywhere, and will
no doubt bring the parties down
here to look over the field. This
section can grow any kind of peas
of the finest quality, and with a
canning factory for the purpose of
taking care of this product, it
would open rp another industry
that would probably prove as ben
efioial as beet raising. La Jara

WARDEN TOM lyman

election day and graft had its
abode in many an office of the
states chosen officials. The city of
Denver, too, has been more widely
ver t ised as the home of the
"Beast" in politics than for it's mag
nificent climate.
But there is an wakening. The
people have had their eyes opened
to conditions until now Colorado is
taking the lead in many praise
worthy reforms. One evidence is
the election three years ago and
election last fall of an honest, cap
able man as governor. 1t is due to
him that today we can write of how
Colorado is pointing the way in
prison management.
Can you not see that a prison can
make good use of a knowledge of
psychology and suggestion? Don't
you realize that character reading
and character building are essen
tials in reforming outcasts and
human derelicts? One man in Colo
RADIO grasped the idea and FORUM
ately was clothed with the author
ity to act on it.
John Shafroth, the democratic
governor of Colorado, realized that
that these were the qualities and
this the knowledge required for the
hest handling of the convict prob
lem.
Accordingly he selected one T.
j. lyman, successful salesman of
Denver, for warden of the STAKE
prison.
No appointment that the gov
ernor made was more criticized.
The machine politicians could not
see the wisdom of giving the plum
to one who was not regular pol
itical worker. The sheriffs and
police were. astonished.
"What does that fellow know
about handling convicts, he never
arrested any!"
That was the burden of their
comment.
Nothing more was needed to prove
the wisdom of the governor than
that remark about lyman not hav-
ing arrested any convicts. It was
just that getting away from the
criminal hunters that helped to
make this appointment the best
thing that Governor Shafroth has
done during his administration.
He had realized that new ideas
were needed at the prison, The
methods in vogue there were the
old unclean, careless, caretaking of
quarters and the maltreating of
prisoners, to say nothing of the
unbusiness like way of buying
supplies. What is needed in
prisons as everywhere else in the
public service is educational fit
ness and not previous political act
ivity.
The governor certainly picked
the man with the right kind of
training, ability and personality
when he gave the job to Tom Ty-
nan. So well has he vindicated the
judgment of the governor that
through his great success as a
prison warden Tom lyman has be-
come national figure. Indeed
his prison has been visited by rep
resentatives of foreign powers.
Two short years ago he was
regarded as probably the best war
regarded as probably the best war
den in the United States If not in
the world.-Henry A. L'Engle.
