Stock Sold Short.

Exactly one week ago the wise ones
in Tonopah learned the facts and i'm
nediately started selling short. Dur
ing the week nearly 800, 600 shares
changed hands. Outside investors
and spectators could not understand
the rush of Tonopah to sell, and tele-
grams began pouring in asking for
information
Last Wednesday the San Francisco
Chronicle printed a telegram from
McQuillan stating there was high
grade ore In the winze.
Evidently there was something
wrong when there could be such a
disparity In statements. and Presi-
dent Zadig sent w. B. Daniel, min
Ing engineer, from Oakland TO Tono-
pah TO investigate tho conditions and
report facts. Daniel is here still. He
reported that the ore In the winze
would not run more than $3.50 to the
ton, OF less than the cost OF treat
ment charges. That determined tho
course Of action at San Francisco
and the changes followed.
j. j. McQuillan stated today:
There are only about 1b0 tons OF
broken ore and mixed porphyry In the
slopes, which will require a very care

Here is the statement of w. b.
Daniel:
"I have been through the property
and do not think that the slopes show
over 500 tons of profitable CONNER

there are only two small blocks OF the
vein left between the 1850 and 9bo-
foot levels. There are not fifty tons
OF shipping ore In sight Some ore
can undoubtedly be extracted. but the
tonnage Is problematical. No at
tempt has been made to develop ore
ahead Of extraction, and no prospect
ing for other ore bodies on or below
the 1050-foot level has been under
taken. The mine has been Quilted"

MOTHERS DAY
OBSERVED IN

Mothers Day" was more elab-
orately observed in Tacoma Sun
day than ever before in the his
tory of this city.
Fifty men sat down to a break
fast at the Y. M. G. A. and sign
ed souvenir cards to be sent to
their mothers; 76 mothers with
babies were present at a special
Sunday school class service at the
First Christian church; the coun-
ty jail corridors rang with the
music of the Salvation Army band
and the mingled sobs of the pris-
oners whose hearts were touched
by the reference to their mothers
and similar services were held in
tho city prison.
All over the city busy hands
We're penning loving epistles to
mothers far away, and ministers
in their pulpits delivered eulogies
to the mothers of the race.
Mothers Day in Tacoma by the

said to have become a fixture that

K|DNAPER LOST
HIS NERVE At
LAST MINUTE

Tears either melted the heart
or aroused the fears of a kid
naper Sunday afternoon on an
interurban train between Kent
and Tacoma and saved little Fred
Dose, seven-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. G. H. Dose of Kent from
being spirited away.
At 1871 Mrs. Dose at Kent
stepped across the street to buy
paper. Little Fred was at the
house then. When she returned
he was gone. No news of him was
received until in the evening when
she was informed from Tacoma
that the boy was here.
Little Fred said he was ap-
preached on the corner near his
home in Kent by a big man who
wanted to know if he wanted
some candy. OF course he did.
The candy was bought and then
the man picked the lad up and
carried him onto an interurban
train headed this way.
Nearing Auburn the boy began
to cry Justify and the man got up
and left the train at Auburn.
Fred came on to Tacoma and was
found at 18th and X streets and
taken to police headquarters. His
father, who is an architect and
builder at Kent, came over and
got him in the evening.
