Second-Because Habit, one of the
great factors making for success or
failure in both business or home life
is nothing more than repetition of a

The Ell Paso Electric Railway com
pany during the early part of the
summer inaugurated a campaign to
reduce the number of accidents be-
tween street cars and automobiles and
was so successful in attaining the de-
sired results that collisions between
these two types of vehicles have been
reduced to a most gratifying figure.
At The meeting of the Automobile
club, January s. AIves Dixon, of the
street railway company, will make
short talk to the members and will
endeayor to secure their cooperation
towards the still further reduction of
automobile and street railway acct
Perhaps no one thing has attracted
so much favorable comment during the
year now closing as the safety first
movement, and its practical appIica-
tlon during the year to come will be
the means OF saving thousands of val
liable lives

HALIFAX LAST WEEK

Were Very Satisfactory.

The Halifax mine continues to I'M
prove with development work, drift
ing progresses in an eaaterly direction
says the Tonopah Miner In the past
week comparatively little progress was
made in drifting east, but IA crosscut
was run from the hanging wall 70 the
footwall drift. and disclosed width oil
thirty feet OF good grade milling orc
thus demonstrating that including the
forty feet wide between walls. This
crosscut Is about scventy-five feet east
of the first main crosscut which passed
through the vein when il was first
opened up. and the eastern crosscut
shows considerable improvement In aver
age values of the ore.
During the week the east hanging wall
drift was advanced ten feet, and con-
tinues TO show a fun face OF very good
grade ore. The footwall drift was also
advanced ten feet the face OF this show,
ing an improved average grade OF mn
orc.
The raise from the western drift is
now up eighty feet on the dip Of the
vein, and is apparently near the apex.
and the average value OF the ore rs not
so good as last week. but this raise has
demonstrated that the footwall OF the
vein has turned 10 the west and the ore
body has apparently resumed us normal
cast and west course At this noint:
The cutting Of sta ton at the llVu~
foot level is now making good progress
On the 1900 foot level prosecuting east
is stl in progress. but this work has
been delayed owing to great Increase
in the flow of water, and also on account
OF an interruption OF the power service
last week.
On the l100-foot level the station is
being widened and extended IN order 10
install Il Could tripleX pump. When this
Is in operation. a northwest crosscut
will be run TO pick up the downward
extension OF the vein, opened up some
months go in the north crosscut on the
400 foot level near the line of the Miz-
pah Extension property.
In the past week 125 tons OF ore, eH-
ira cted from development work We're
shipped 10 the Belmont mill. the general
average grade being higher than last
week shipments.

due to the magnificent condition In which
