THE OLD YEARS FLIGHT.

I watched the old years fight
And then said. with smile,
"Ah, now the new year bright
Will bide with US awhile!'
But ere my hopeful dreams
Have realized one day
Is dead and passed: it seems
It starts but to decay.
Thus all along the way
Gravestones must mark the miles,
An epitaph each day.
A tomb of tears and smiles.
So we begin the new
CTS old ere we've begun)
Z To find it's aging, too.
With the first setting sun.
But twill not always be.
There'll come living day,
And all things new. and we
Shall live in endless May.
No gravestones then will mark
The tombs where dead hopes lie,
No nights Of sorrow dark al
Creep DER our changeless sky.

NEVADA DOUGLAS SHOWS ABUN.
DANCE OF IL PER CENT
MATERIAL.

Superintendent Archie Orem Of the
Nevada Douglas Copper company has
wired the Salt Lake offices to the
effect that on the 100 and 200 levels
OF the Casting Copper section Of the
property he has fun faces Of IL per
cent copper ore On the 100 level
the crosscut is now in 55 feet all
the way in ore while at neither
place have any walls been encount-
cred to date.
This is the most gratifying news
that the Nevada Douglas company
has received for a considerable peri
cd. as # tends to establish the truth
OF the assertion made by the manage
ment some months ago that the Cast
ing Copper section would prove to
be as good as. II not better than,
the Ludwig section. This CastinA
Copper development is bringing sub
stantial tonnages to sight and in
creasing the company's production
ability in a very gratifying manner.
The plan of the Nevada Douglas
company to equip the property with
teaching plant will bring into avail
able form very large tonnage Of
copper ore now developed, but which
can be better handled in a teaching
plant than by direct smelling. 1t is
estimated that there are from 100000
to 600. 900 tons Of such ore available
the averge Of which is anywhere from
to 3la per cent copper. The eX
haustive series Of experiments made
Iby teaching experts on the Nevada
Douglas ore has demonstrated thaf
ores carrying even less than 2 pei

handled profitably, and the COMPANY
intends to install mill CONSISTING

kert said with regard to Jumbo Elk,
tension Mining company of Gold
field:
my firm is making an effort to
wrest the control OF Jumbo Exten
sion from President Van Dyck. The
chief interest in Jumbo Extension of
Mr. Van Dyck. so far as know,
has been the disposal Of 10000
shares Of stock held by him under
option. He sold 10000 shares in
May, June and July last year through
our firm. and the remainder through
others. We sold the stock at 4Oc
largely in Goldfield, and netted Mr.
Van Dyek 2S12c. Van Dyck got it at
s2c.
I'VE made the same representa-.
tions to our clients as were made
to us by Mr.. Van Dyck as to the
high average values in the milling
ores of the property, and also Will
regard to the general conditions o.
the company. These were pictured
by Mr. Van Dyck in an exceedingl,
rosy hue.
After all the stock was sold ant
Mr. Van Dyck had cleaned up NIGEL!
for himself and his principal. Mr.
Van Dyck issued a report to stock
holders this summer in which h,
told an entirely different story witt
regard to the property
Just before he issued this pessi
mistic report the stock dropped t
around 2Sc to zoe. On the appear
anee of the report break to abou

1T is my opinion that neither {
Mr. Van Dyck's statements with r.
gard to the property are to be take
too seriously I think his early r.

his recent utterances have been to
