WAILURU, Maui. Jan. llama
Ttenr vaudeville has been attempted
on Maui. but never SO successfully as
last Saturday night, when the bene-
fit was given at the Rahului lyceum
for the benefit Of the Alexander Set

took their parts splendidly. The sing

and Mr. Rattray in Love Comes Like

pleasing. The chorus work was ex-
cellent. Mrs. Carrie Weight did her
part well in a very pretty song, while
Mrs. Jones as "SalIie the Dancing
Girl" and later as Partisan dancer,
certainly was most attractive.
Exhibition dancing by Mr.. and Mrs.
Campbell, the musical act by Mrs.
Ralph Walker and Kenneth Smith,
the Castle Walk by Miss Alma Wode-
house and Miss Sue StarkWeather, and
the tango by Miss Wodehouse and
Miss Gwendolen Won Tempsky greatly

DISCOVERS new CAMP
IN NORTHERN NEVADA
JESSE l.. WORKMAN, FATHER OF
NATIONAL, MAKES NEW
FIND

Jesse l.. Workman returned today
from a successful prospecting trip in
northern Elko county, says the Win
finder of National was in a good
frame of mind and enthusiastic when
seen. To use his own language he has
found another high-grade district of
larger proportions than the National
section. and in outcrop as strong as
Virginia City on the ComstOck lodge.
The new find is about 60 miles
north of Tuscarora, verging on Owy-
hee desert. 1t is in the heart of a
good mineral area and is surrounded
by evidence of mining success, as
Delamar, Idaho, J%arbidge, Mountain
tional. The find is on the range o
mountains making the divide of the
Owyhee and Humboldt river declines.
Workman shows some fine speci-
mems of ruby silver ore and pro-
ounces the new discovery one of the
strongest and largest showing he
ever saw. He declares the new find
to be of great merit and banks his
judgment that the district will be-
come one of Nevada's state mining
sections.
By studying the structure of the
country from the summit of a high
mountain one day and sketching it,
Workman determined the mineraliZ-
ed lines and the following day made
his location. The mineralized zone
is hundreds of feet wide where fuOnd
and shows different periods of crush
ing and refillings and the permeat-
ing of same with mineral bearing
solutions.
While at work near Tuscarora OH
the 10Th instant, during a thunder
storm, Mr.. Workman was stunned by
lightning. He does not know how
long he remained unconscious, but
thinks not more than an hour. When
he came to he found his canteen ly-
ing at a distance of about so feet
from where he was knocked down
and his pick some fifteen feet from
the spot. Aside from a confusion on
the forehead, where it struck the
ground. he feels no bar results from
the shock.

NEVADA DOUGLAS VIII
BUILD TEACHING PLANT

While the date of actual construc-
ton work on the proposed 25O-ton
teaching plant for the Nevada-Doug-
las Mining company's big copper
mine at Yerington is yet indefinite,
yet yesterday A. j. Orem, Jr., mine
manager, was in Salt Lake in confer
ence with local officials, after which
he will go east to look up the matter
of the purchase of the machinery,
says the Herald Republican.
The Nevada-DOuglas mine is pro-
ducing about 1875 tons daily. The
ore averages 5 to 10 per cent cop
per. At this rate it will require some
time to complete the contract of fur
nishing the Mason Valley smelter
with the 100000 tons of ore. Mr..
Orem said yesterday that he esti-
mates the untitled tonnage at $4,000
tons to complete the contract. By
the time that has been furnished he
hopes to have the new plant in oper-
alton. At first it was the expectation
to erect a mill for the treatment of
the ore which falls below the regular
pIOuuCI, VI pOSolDly al dN-
erage of 3.5 per cent product. Now,
however, it is the intention to treat
all the ores which would result in a
very high grade concentrate.
Mr.. Orem said yesterday that
everything is moving along splendid
ly at the mine. A lot of development
work is under way. While the better
class of ore is going to the smelter,
yet a great deal of lower grade, ex-
cellent for milling. is being left for
future handling.

CARS
DATES CHANGE
WILL GO TO VIRGINIA CITY IN
JULY DIRECT FROM
ELY.

Thomas F.. Mccormick, %superin-
tendent of the Consolidated Virginia
and Ophir Silver Mining companies,
says the Virginia Chronicle, has re-
ceived a letter from NJ. H. Wilson,
lengineer in charge of the experiment
station, bureau of mines. at Pitts
burg, Pa, stating that at a recent
conference it was decided to slightly
change the dates of the tour in Ne
vada of the mine rescue car No. 5
of the bureau of mines, and the new
dates are as follows:
Copper Flat, Ely, June % to 81.
McGill district, Ely, June 29 to
July 8.
Joint mine rescue maneuvers at
Ely and McGill, July A.
Con. Virginia and Ophir mines,
Virginia City, July 6 to IL.
Goldfield Con. July 13 to 16.
Tonopah mines, July 20 to 25.
Manhattan, July 81 to August 1.
Pittsburg Silver Peak, Blair, Aug
ust 8 to s.
Nevada Wonder, Fallon, August 10
to Is.
Nevada Hills, Fairview, August IT
to %.
Demonstration at University of Ne
vada, Reno and Sparks, August "a
to 20.
The memorandum letter received
by Superintendent Mccormick says,
among other things:
"Officials and miners are invited
to select certain of the skilled under
ground and surface employees for en-
rollment in mine rescue and first-aid
classes. After completion of the
course of instruction. which usually
requires about a week, the bureau
of mines will issue to each man who
has completed the work satisfactorily
an engraved certificate of compe-
tence.
after a number of teams shall
ing, it is suggested that a field day
be inaugurated, when the teams may
enter contests in first-aid work and
in the use of the breathing apparatus.
In the preparation of such a field
day, the employees of the bureau will
lend such assistance as may be re-
Quested."
A mine car visited Virginia City
several years ago, and resulted in
much practical benefit, the leading
mines all equipping with the helmets,
etc. They have proved their value
on several occasions since and the
second visit of the car and crew will,
therefore. be awaited with more than
ordinary interest here.

POPE YEATMAN AND PARTY
VISIT THE ELY DISTRICT

Pope Yeatman, consulting engineer
Jackling. the controlling spirit in the
Utah Copper company and Galen l..
Stone, of the firm of Hayden, Stone
& Co.. a banking and brokerage
house of Boston. which has financed
many of the biggest copper companies
operating on the continent, and who
are now inspecting properties in Ari-
IONA. spent yesterday in the Ely dis
trict. This is the first time Mr.. Stone
has seen some of the properties in
which as a banker he has been largely
interested for several years. Personal
inspection of the properties has here
tofore been left to Mr.. Hayden, whose
technical knowledge of mining is
equal to that of most mining engi-
neers.
The visit of the party here may
mean much to the district, as it is
known that the Nevada Con. company
of which MI. Yeatman is the consult
ing engineer, is preparing to open up
the Ruth property, upon which prac-
tically nothing has been done for
many years past. The Ruth is equip
ped for underground mining, and has
been extensively developed along
those lines, but there is a general
opinion prevalent throughout the dis
trict that it will now be opened up
as a steam shovel proposition from
the eastern side of the mountain,
which would shorten the haulage of
ore to the concentrator several miles

SAYS NORTHERN
MEXICO IS QUIET
REFUGEE FROM SOUTHERN RE-
PUBLIC ARRIVES IN CAMP
OF TONOPAH

c. H. Farrow. for eight years
shift BOSS in the 1z0-stamp mill OF
the Esperanto company, situated 100
miles north of the City of Mexico,
on the National railroad, is in To-
nopah as one of the refugees from
the southern republic, says the To-
nopah Bonanza. He is looking fol
employment in the mills of this camp
until there is a chance to return to
the other side of the Rio Grande.
Mr.. Farrow came out of Mexico
twelve months ago and then went
back to the state of Sonora and was
employed as master mechanic OF
La Cabrezos Mining company at No
gales, where he was compelled to
leave three weeks ago owing to the
urgent orders of the British consul.
Mr.. Farrow says there is no trouble
in constituencies territory, but the
orders from the consul were so urg-
ent that none of the foreign colony
felt like remaining. In every case
the properties were turned over to
Mexicans to work the best way they
could and to help keep down the flow
of water.
Mr.. Farrow asserts that eighteen
months ago., before the ~adminietra-
ton of Huerta, the situation was des-
perate, and in the town of Durango
alone he knows hundreds of women
and girls were violated on the steps
of the cathedral, where they had TAX
en- refuge from the then rebels. and
that these victims of lust committed
suicide on the altar steps when they
escaped the clutches of their assail-
ants. Pachuca was looted by the
Maderistas and the banks blown UP
OF get at their treasure.
to get at their treasure.
Element of the trouble said Mr.. Far
row, "as this is the most prosperous
time known to the people of Mexico.
They have a horse, a blanket and
plenty of ammunition and lots OF
chance to loot, and what more can
they ask when they don't want to
work? Soldering is not an awful
thing in Mexico when it is understood
that in a recent engagement over
100000 rounds of ammunition were
fired and only one mule killed. Car
rama is the legitimate successor to
the presidency, as Villa does not want
it and will be satisfied to become
minister of war. Villa is too ignOr-
ant to think of becoming president,
therefore there will be no conflict on
that score.
Every mining camp in Arizona
and New Mexico is filled with refu-
gees from Mexico, who preferred to
take their chances in the overcrowd-
ed camps rather than accept tickets
to more distant points. Wherever the
refugees wanted to go they were pro-
vided with transportation, and it is
said that some of them booked them
selves for Alaskan points,"

COAL MINING ACTIVE IN
STATE OF new MEXICO
FOUR MILLION SHORT
TONS.

The production of coal in New
Mexico in 1913 was 3,70S,S06 short
tons, with a value at the mines of
$5,401,260, according to E. w. Par
ker of the United States Geological
Survey, who compiled the figures in
cooperation with the State GeOlog-
ical Survey.
In 1918, as in 1912, New Mexico
Outstripped all previous records in
the production of Goa The output
in 1912 was 3,536,S24 short tons,
valued at $5,O36,S24, compared with
which that of 1913 showed an in
crease of 1882 tons in quantity
and of $364,2O9 in value. The av-
erage price per ton in 1918 was
$1.33. Colfax county in 1913 pro-
duced 2,749,765 short tons out of the
total of 3,7O8, SOC tons for the state.
The number of men employed in
the Goa mines of New Mexico in
creased from 1928 in 1912 to 1929
in 1913. The average production
per man decreased from 900 tons
in 1912 to S57 ton in 1913. This
decrease was not due to any falling
off in efficiency, but was n of the
minor effects of an appalling dis
aster which occurred at Mine No. 2
of the Stag Canon Fuel company at
Dawson, in October, 1913. This &C.
cident, one of the most disastrou of
the year in coal mining and the worst
in the history of the state, caused
the death of 261 persons. 1t occurred
in one of the mines of a company
which had spared no expense and had
taken every precaution human intel
ligence could suggest to reduce the
hazard of coal-mining operations.
The other fatalities reported to the
United States Bureau of Mines out
side of the explosion at Dawson were
II, making a total of 272.
Only one instance of labor disaf-
lection was reported in 1913, and in
this eight men were on strike for 100
days.
