received Monday night except that. at
eleven o'clock, Mr.. Franklin said that
he had received a message from the
Carpathia stating that she had rescued
survivors from small fleet Of life
boats and was hurrying with them to
New York that they might receive
medical attention which nearly all
needed.
But IL there were only few inquiries
on Monday night. there were plenty
from early Tuesday until the Carpathta
arrived on Thursday night. The White
Star officers were besieged by relatives
of persons who had sailed on the IT,

office, but in the hotels. clubs, large
stores, the various exchanges of the IL
nancial district, restaurants. and every
place where throngs might congregate,
these were revised as frequently as ad-
ditional dispatches from the Carpathia
were received.
Besides the hundreds who called, the
White Star Line received hundreds OF
kilograms from all parts Of the United
States and Canada asking news Of the
fate Of those aboard the Titanic. One
of the inquiries came from the White
House and asked il there were any
definite news Of the fate Of Major
Archibald Butt. In reply this message
was simply telegraphed back:
There Is no mention OF the name In
the list Of the rescued so far received
from the Carpathia."
It was the same message that sent
women weeping from the offices and
made men turn pale.
There were many cablegrams received
also from distant lands from anxious

Titanic was the most meagre.
Such as it was it came from the Car
pathia by wireless and was picked
IN at dozens of points along the
New England coast and sent flying
broadcast from these places over land
wires. No word Of description telling
of the scene at the wreck came through.
A list of names of those aboard the
Carpathia was finally wirelessed from
the Cunarder and from this list of
those who must have been lost could be
devised.
But with no word other than the brief
dispatches from the Carpathia, 1t could
not be said with assurance who had
been lost and who saved. Other boats,
for all the waiting world knew, might
have picked up other of the THAMES
passengers than the lists showed to be

Carpathia came no word of what she

none but herself had been.
1t was as though conspiracy OF ST.

ship which carried j. Bruce Ismay. head
of the company which controls the

was rife as to why no news came
from the Cunarder. why the story Of the
wreck was not wirelessed to the world,
why everything possible was not done
to disseminate the truth about the ca

Since then some explanatio has been
offered for the paucity of news which

MONTANA MILL INCREASES
TONNAGE FOR PAST WEEK

The tonnage treated during the
last week by the mill of the Montana
Tonopah Mining company was slight
ly greater than during the previous
week, 1.075 tons as against 1,OS4

9l.5 per cent was made, which was
a half per cent better recovery
than the previous week.

BELMONT MAKES SECOND
SEPT. BULLION SHIPMENT

With the shipment Thursday OF
Sc bars, weighing 96,7SS ounces, the
bullion production OF the Tonopah
Belmont Development company from
ore treated in its new mill thus far
fer this month was brought up to
177,254 ounces, which is about a
quarter of a ton less than 6 tons,
Thursday represented the second
cleanup of this month and the fourth
since the mill was placed in commits
sion. The first shipment this month
was made Thursday of last week and
weighed S0,466 ounces. Figured at
76 cents an ounce, the total of
177.254 ounces, extracted from ore
treated up to the time of the second
cleanup this month has a value of
$134,7 ,713.04
That the various slopes and drifts
are steadily maintaining their usual
output and that there is excellent
foundation for the prevailing belief
that the production of the company
this month will be of the record
breaking character is clearly eviden-
eed by the, fact that the new mill
last week handled total of 3,0S3
tons, from which the usual salts
factory recovery was made. Aside
from preparations for the resumption
of sinking operations in the shaft
by the cutting of a pump sump on
( the 18th level, and the starting OF
several new raises on the deeper
levels. the work and development
in the mine during the last week
were of routine nature The,
