ToNoPAH IN THE LEAD.

summary just made in the west shows what
was accomplished during the year at Tonopah.
Few camps within the past few years have so
thoroughly shown up to such speculative advan-
tage have the mines and semi-mines at Tono-
pah The present showing is due largely to
what is called the new era of the district dat
ing from the time that the Belmont opened up
its new ore body Is months ago.
Statistics prepared for what the mines ac-
complished during 1911 show that total of
40S, 40 tons of ore were handled from the camp
of gross value of $s,4S6,250 The companies
contributing to this total being the Tonopah Min
ing, Tonopah Belmont Montana Tonopah Tono-
pah Extension. West End, Midway and Mae
Namara.
The dividends distributed during this period
were limited to four companies total of 49,
O60.623 being paid out to shareholders -Four
companies were in the dividend list namely the
Tonopah Mining, Belmont, Montana and Mae
Namara.
Additional statistics show an interesting com
petition which presumably has been under way
during the year between the Belmont and Tono,
pah Mining companies, and the figures compiled
show that the Tonopah Mining produced 49,
600 tons of ore of gross value of 1852 900
while the Belmont, with an output of 11450O
showed gross return of $3,0995O0 In the
matter of dividends the Tonopah Mining also re-
tanned the lead having paid outg durin the
year Sl,6OO,000, as compared to disbursements
by the Belmont company of 81 100000
1t IS such showings as these which continue
to make the mining business profitable 10 those
who are able to guage its many vicissitudes.
Viewed from every standpoint Tonopah has al
ways been popular camp 1t has had its ups
and downs, but it has never fatered in the
right direction. and the recent wide extending
of the ore making limitations of the district have
gone to increase the popularity of that section

PROGRESS OF WIRELESS TELEeRApHY

Wireless telegraph is making steady progress
1t has become an important factor in the CONNER
cia transmission Of informaton but it is yet
as remote as ever, apparently, from displacng
the land and submarine telegraph systems as it
was at the beginning.
1t is many years since Marconi established
wireless stations opposite shores of the North
Atlantic and announced his intention to solicit
commercial business in competition with the
transoeeanic telegraph cable companies The lat
ter showed no signs of alarm over the announce
ment Mackay went with the laying of the
Pacific cable from San Francisco to the Orient
quite unconcemed. So did the British corpora
ton with the cable connecting Victoria, b. c.,
with Australia and New Zealand They pinned
their faith to submarine cable in preference to
the vagares of the air on which the wireless sys-
TEN depends for the transmission of its code
Marconls intention not carried out to any
serious extent at least, for the reason that the
wireless system too uncertain in practical
operation to assure prompt service which is an
essential element in all commercial transactions
Wireless telegraph has, however, made much
progress OF late Years. The natural laws gov
erning are getting better understood each year
The effective radius Of transmission has been
broadened immensely 1t has proved invaluable
III maritime life. 1t has greatly reduced the
f'erls of navigation to those who go down to the
sea IN ships. Many ocean tragedies have been
avoided by it of late years. When his vessel
equipped with wireless outfit the sense of
security in the mind Of the mariner is greatly
strengthened
The United States navy department has be-
come thoroughly alive to the value of wireless
telegraphy means Of keeping in touch with
the various units Of its fleets wherever stationed
or cruising The department is, consequently,
planning to solicit a 100000 appropriation
from congress for the purpose of girdling the
coasts OF the United States with a chain of Wire
less stations and establishing other stations at its
insular possessions and in the Panama canal zone
which will be equipped with Instruments pos
sesslng sending and receiving radius of three
thousand miles. With such chain of wireless
stations the department at Washington expects
to be able 70 keep in daily communication with
every naval vessel in commission in either Allan
tie or Pacific waters. The results will doubtless

TO indicate that Mascagni and the Duke would
have to meet upon the field of honor and cut
off a supply of very good Italian opera. But
intsead of a rapier, the Duke has rushed into the
fray with couple of subpoenas and Mascagni
is consulting his attorneys instead Of the fencing

the beginning of the end. For if an affair of
such worldwide Importance as the production of
Italian opera be settled by arbitra-
tion, there is why penny-ante nations
like Paraguay and Ecuador should be playing
