OLD AURORA BOOMING.
New Blood in the Camp Makes
Things Look Prosperous.

The Bridgeport Chronicle Union OF
last Saturday has the following re
garding doings at the old camp OF
Aurora:
The construction OF the great 500
ton plant Of the Aurora Consolidated
Mines Co. is now being rushed, team
load after team load OF supplies are
arriving daily, and the days OF o3 and
"a are here again with interest.
The cheap electric power available
throughout the district makes this a
point of special interest to mining en-
gineers and promoters, Prospectors
and miners are searching the hills
with more diligence than i'll the old
days in hopes of finding open ground
or perhaps a lease.
Old timers returning to the camp
are satisfied in their minds that Aurora
will keep her promise by throwing
down her bars to wealth New loca-
tions are made daily. and the cleaning
out of old workings which figured in
the old days as worthless are now val
liable and promising properties.
Genuine interest Is being shown on
the Tampa property OF Chris Jochum-
sens The hill on which it is located
is one 'of the most valuable in the
camp. being in the immediate vicinity
of the big mines. an extension OF the
well known Juniata and MARTINEZ
mines which produced their millions
in the boom days of Aurora
Contractors are driving the drain
tunnel OF the Consolidated Mining Co
with all speed available, which is now
l.500 feet To the face and 5000 feet
more to run in connecting with the
Durand shaft.
The crosscut To the Humboldt shaft
is in LOO feet with 200 feet more
running to tap the largest vein in the
district, measuring so feet or more
from wall TO wall. this vein has been
developed TO a depth OF 420 feet and
has been estimated by engineers of

TO keep the large mill busy for years

The Utah mining men deserve a
great deal of praise and encourag
ment for their progressive methods.
1t is understood that the chief engi-
neer has recommended an eXpnditure

the risk is great. but the profits are
therefore legitimate, but there is
scarcely logical reason why CORES

when they are fortunate enough to
have the ground to produce them.
Keep your eyes on Aurora!
Since settlement of labor troubles
at Aurora the general feeling is in
tensely good, which is quite noticeable
from the fact that the influx of peo-
ple is now at stage where two more

trouble. He accosted Crawford and
abused him i'll the saloon and the row

he cut Crawford severely across the
abdomen and on the leg, besides in
flicting couple of small wounds on
Crawford's chest. Notwithstanding his
injuries Crawford Knocked Fitzwater
down and gave him severe beating
After the row was over, and it was
found how seriously Crawford was
hurt. DR.. Smith, OF Yerington. was
sent for. He started for Rawhide in
his auto Sundav morning, but got
stuck in the mud a short distance
from Yerington and sent back for
Salty Snyder to come and pull him
out. This was a long job and as the
doctor was in a hurry Snyder drove
him over to Rawhide in the Snyder
car Tom DAILY accompanying them.
They did not arrive in Rawhide until
4 p. M. Sunday. After the wounds on
Crawford were examined ii was found
necessary to sew up the cuts on the
abdomen and leg. The wounds are
not dangerous and Crawford. who is
quite well known around the Yering
ton district. will soon be all right
Fitzwater made his getaway after the
row and has not yet been apprehended.
I.atcr-Sincc the above was put in
type Crawford has been taken to
hospital in Reno and is said to be in
a serious condition. and on Wednes-
day FitZwater was arrested in Wa
buska by Deputy Sheriff Bulkeley and
held until Sheriff Grutt. OF Mineral
county came after him and took him

serious one.

team had been strengthened by a
couple of players from Reno. The
grounds were in good condition and a
good game was looked for; and it was
a good game However, the Yeringon
players had not practced together and
were at disadvantage. Thompson
was in fine trim. and in the first inning
secured ? runs. 4erington failed to
score run in the game and in the
I'd inning neither made a run. Thomp-
son scored one run i'll the Sd, one in
the 4th and one in the 5th, making
the final score to nothing in favor OF
the boys from the smelter town. They
were aided by three particularly rank
decisions by he field umpire and many
bad errors OF the home team Thomp-
son was entitled to only runs, which
would have made a very pretty game
but it was interesting as it was. and
had Yerington been able to break the
ice by scoring a run the tale might
have been different

HEAVY FOG LIFTS
IN BOSTON HARBOR
AFTER MANY DAYS

Boston, Oct. 1O-A temporary lift
IN the fog which has enshrouded Bos-
ton harbor for nearly a week enabled
the CPunard line steamer Laconia from
Liverpool to work her way with the
aid of tugs to the East Boston early
today. The Laconia, which ran into
thick weather half way across the
Atlantic, was a day late when she
reached Boston Light, Wednesday
night. There she was halted by the
fog but yesterday she crept up to
quarantine only to be held there I'M
til after midnight, by further dark
ening of the atmosphere.
The fog set in thick again, today,
and the Hamburg-American liner
Cleveland, due this morning from
Hamburg was delayed in her arrival.
Several freight steamers and many
sailing craft remained at anchor in
the lower harbor.
Fishing boats have found 1t difficult
to pass to and from the fishing
grounds, this week, and the result
ing scarcity of fresh fish has sent
prices soaring in the Boston market.

GETTING THINGS DONE.

1t will not escape notice that Presi-
dent Wilson possesses in unusual de-
gree power TO get things done.
The tariff bill as good as passed and
the currency bill assured passage at
this session attest early achievement
Of the first and greatest reforms of
this administration.
With a railroad strike Imminent and
threatening tie-up of all the eastern
lines OF railroad, President Wilson
brought the heads of labor and the
heads Of the railroads together in con.
ference and when he had finished with
both announcement was made that
there would be no strike until arbi
tration under the Newlands act
should fail. So unobtrusive was his
course, so free from the spectacular
and the theatrical that hardly one per
son in 10 noted his part in averting
the strike.
The president Is wonderfully en-
dowed with self-control and the power
of getting where he wants to go with
out calling anybody liar on the way
insulting anybody with Impeachment
of the integrity OF his motives, or be
ing DETECTED from his course.

THE RoAD'To HEALTH.

DR.. Edwin Ash, the distinguished
English nerve specialist, addressed an
audience of 200 nurses in London last
week, in which he said that the rules
Of health are to eat slowly. to walk
slowly, to dress slowly and TO speak
slowly. Nervous disorders are caused
by indigestible and hurried lunches, by
wearing too tight clothing and by
needless worry about details of domes-
tic, professional and business life.
Barristers, journalists, doctors, bust
ness men use up a lot Of energy over
the telephone, and then they worry
over details which exhaust their uerv-
Gus energy simply because they take
themselves too seriously. Fully so
per cent of a nervous specialists

men of all ages. The terrifying SEN
sation many of them feel that they
have lost control of their thoughts,
and cannot sleep for thinking of bust

going out Of their heads. The nervous
| system shuts off nervous force from
the stomach the first thing, and keeps
the brain, heart and lungs going until
the subject approaches collapse. Once
the stomach is upset it does not di.
gest its meals. Men, always strung up
to the highest pitch, are easily over.

TO be neurotic."
All OF which is true. II
people would adopt Sidney Smiths

would avoid much of the worry that
now characterizes most of our bust
ness life. Every man is able to take
care of today. 1t is when he frets
over tomorrow that he becomes nerv

standard of living.
The bill, which is known as the
National Wage Commission bill, is one
of the most advanced pieces of legis-
lation ever introduced in the national
legislature. In reality, it is a mini
mum wage bill, and Senator Lewis
has drawn it so as to be all embrac-
ing in its scope. There is hardly
a worker in the United States who
could not claim its protection.
The scheme worked out in the meas
ure provides for a national wage COM
mission. This body will be made up
of several hundred commissioners
one wage commissioner, in short, to
every congressional district. Under
ordinary circumstances, each wage
commissioner will settle the wage dis
putes in his own district, though in
important cases three or more com.
missioners may join in acting as a
jury. The salary provided for each
commissioner is adequate to secure
the services of good and competent
men.
Whenever any employee believes that
the wages paid him are not sufficient
to pay for a living on the scale to
which he is justly entitled, he brings

Colonel Harvey is an authority, for he
maintained the cd style long enough
after il ceased to be the vogue to per-
Ceptibly cut down the circulation of
what in lis day was the most widely
read and widely copied news-literary
journal of the country. And he has
been honest enough 10 make a free and
frank confession of the fact that he
permitted himself to fall behind in the
ever onward movement in the journal
istic profession. He sees now that
tastes in reading have changed quite
as much in the past few years as
tastes in clothing, and that the mi
nutely detailed style of diction went

HARVEST TIME.

with the work of the women folks"
preparing a harvest dinner. Go with
the workers TO the fields. Pitch a
while from the shocks, sweat, unload
a wagon or two, watch the
wheat as it flows from separator
to sack. All this will give one an idea
Of but one step in the handling of the
worlds bread crop. Get on one of the
wheat wagons, ride 10 the little coun-
try town, wait long in line for chance
to unload, then help handle the sacks
at the elevator, or platform or into
car, and CLEAN further knowledge that
counts.
OF these things most every farmer
knows. He also knows the satisfaction
he feels when, after delivering the
last load, returns are figured and he
goes to the bank, where an cid note is
taken up or substantial figures of de-
post are written in his pocketbook.
Wheat is not only one of the greatest
of ready money crops, but it is also
one of the most dependable Often

HENRY ROWLAND

Henrietta Was a maiden with a pair OF
witching eyes
And her voice was like the sweetest
music man has ever heard;
She had all the charms that nature in her
gracious moods supplies
Henrietta was beauty. as you doubt
less have inferred.
She possessed a gentle manner and Q
temper tat was sweet
She was always doing something for the
ones who needed aid
Scandal was a thing she never found it
pleasing to repeat,
From the path that leads to heaven
Henrietta never strayed.
She possessed no taste for ragtime and
she meier INDUCED in slang,
Henrietta was artistic from her fingers
to her toes;
Sweetest ecstacies were given to her hear
ers when she sang,
She was free from affectation and was
not inclined to pose.
She respected age. believing that the old
could be sublime,
And instead of reading novels she
dipped into classic lore;
She could neatly darn a stocking or con-
struct a witty rhyme,
And she wasn't always thinking of the
pretty things she wore.
Do not think and do not say that Henri
eta was a myth,
Do not say that one so perfect never on
this earth WIS known;
Henrietta lives and answers to the name
of Mrs. Smith;
I've described, her as Smith saw her ere
he claimed her for his own.
