CALL LEVIED BY
BOOTH COMPANY
NOTICE OF LEVY ACCOMPANIED
BY REPORT ON PROP
ERTY.

Under date of April IL. Secretary
A. H. Howe of the Reorganized
Booth Mining company of Goldfield
is mailing out to stockholders notice
that, at meeting of the board of di-
rectors on March 16, call (No. 81
of two cents share was levied upon
the capital stock OF the corporation,
payable Immediately. Stock upon
which the call remains unpaid on
May IL will be delinquent and sold
at public auction on June 10.
Accompanying the notice is
statement showing that from April
IA, 1913, until March 81, last, the
receipts of the company amounted
to 1928, 3,500.S1, and the disbursements
$21,972.74, leaving a cash balance
of $1,52S.07. The statement also
includes the following report OF the
operations of the company during the
period named:
Since the levy of the preceding
call, one year ago, the mining oper-
atoms OF this company have been
continued through what is known as
the No / shaft. A total of 1850
feet OF development work has been
done. This shaft has been sunk from
the 800 foot level to the 5OO-foot
level, from which level a crosscut has
been run to the vein. This vein has
been previously explored on the first,
second and third levels. On the 500
loot level drifts have been run north
and south on the vein, and in the
south drift some fairly good values
have been encountered, and assays of
from $500 to $500 per ton were
found at various intervals for a dis
tance of 200 feet. At one point in
this section of the vein where best
values were obtained ($12.00 per ton
across a width of S.5 feeD winze
has been sukn and at poiut 53 feet
below the bottom of the 50O-foot
level sub-level has been started.
The material taken from the winze
averaged on the basis of mine car
samples $3.50 per ton. The values
are entirely in gold. In addition to
this work, a raise has been started
at a point 10 feet south of the winze.
In addition to this work, drift has
been run south along the contact be-
tween the alaskite and the dacite for
a distance of 1914 feet, but in this
drift no values have been encoun-
tered. In addition to the work on the
bottom level 120 feet of drifting and
crosscutting has been done on the
first and third levels, but no values
of consequence encountered, and no
work is being done on these levels
at present.
1T is the intention of the manage
ment to develop the vein by drifts
from the sub-level at the bottom of
the winze, and also by raises from
the 5OO-foot level and, in addition,
to extend the south drift indefinite
ly. If the development on the sub
level proves to be satisfactory the
shaft will be sunk to depth of $50
feet and the vein opened up at that
depth.
ION the bottom level the Booth
vein is strong, well defined fissure
in dacite, and lies about 80 feet to
the east of the Columbia Mountain
fault"

IS UNDER WAY
CROSSCUT ON 1OO-LEVEL OF LA
GUNA BEING CLEANED
OUT

Operations preliminary to the de-
velopment at depth of the property
of the Reorganized Kewanas Mining
company have been inaugurated on
the 7OO-foot level of the Laguna
mine of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mining company, under an arrange
ment entered into by the manage
ment of the two corporations. The
preliminary work consists of the re-
pair of the station at the 7O0-foot
level of the Laguna shaft and the
cleaning out of the long crosscu
toward the Kewanas property. T,
get into the Kewanas ground, it will
be necessary to advance the crosscut
distance of approximately $50 feet.
The Reorganized Kewanas Mining
company is the successor of the Gold
field Kewanas Mining company, the
property of the latter having been
sold under execution on July 22,
1913 Subsequently title passed to
the new company and under the re-
organization plan stockholders of the
old company were afforded the
privilege of participating in the new
corporation by the exchange of shares
upon the payment of bonus of one
and one-half cents share. This
privilege originally expired on March
81 last but the directors recently
voted to extend the time until the
close of business on May 16 next, in

themselves of the privilege.
Florence Goldfield
There were no changes worthy of
special note during the week in con-
ditions at the Florence Goldfield
mine. Thus far this month the COM
pany has shipped twelve carloads of
ore to the Millers sampler of the
Western Ore Purchasing company,
which fact clearly indicates a con-
tinuance of the splendid conditions
that have prevailed in the property
for some time past.

Flies Breed In Filth.
''TF at first you don't succeed swat,
swat again.

IF at first you don't succeed swat,
swat again.
A mild winter and spring pre-
sage the early arrival of our bitterest
enemies = flies in vastly increased
numbers Immediate, well directed eff
forts must be put forth if the threat
ening dangers are to be minimized.
The time to fight flies is before they
become flies-when in the egg or when
they are maggots.
The problem Of elimination of flies
is one of elimination of filth. No filth
no flies.
Flies breed in filth, play on filth, eat
filth and distribute flth-the filthiest
kind Of filth too. If we do away with
the breeding places of flies there will
be no flies
Therefore the way to swat flies now
is to clean up the fly breeding filth.
Clean up, keep clean and see thai
your neighbors keep likewise, and you
will have few, if any, flies to contenc
with. Of course have your swatte1
ready for the first arrivals.

There were nine families at Coon
skin Cove, in the Cumberland noun
tains, and there were fourteen chill
dren of an age to attend school, bu
there was no school, and neither wer'
the parents teaching the children
what little they could. Uncle Pete
Saunders voiced the general senti
ment toward the cause of education
when he said:
"Hain't seventy vars old? JUS
answer me that"
Eyes, Uncle Peter"
"Hain't | helped to make hundred
bar'ls o moonshine?"
"You have"
'Hain't killed five bars?'
That's the number"
"And when the governor rode
through here ten vars ago wasn't
the only man he shook hands with?'
"You was
"And can't l predict when it's going
to be cold winter"
"Yoh shorely can"
Eyes, I've did all that and hear
mo-, and yit never went to skule 6
day in my life. l can't read nor write
nor cipher, but would be any great
er man than l am If could?"
"Mebbe not"
"Of co'se | wouldn't I'd simply be
a heap meaner Don't talk to me
about skules. We hain't got to have
no spelling books around yere to Parn
us how to make whisky and kill
coons"
Uncle Peter was the patriarch and
the boss of Coonskin Cove. His word
was law. His wisdom was not to be
disputed. But there came day when
the railroad reached Coonskin Cove
and ended his reign. The people went
down to Bristol and other towns and
saw and realized how the outside
world lived, and they came home to
say to Uncle Peter:
"We'uns have got to have skule. u
"Dog-gone my cats, but what ails
yo'!'' he fumed.
"And got to have skule teacher
They'uns down to Nashville have
passed state law about it."
Law? Law? Do you'uns reckon
I'm gwine to let any law come foolin
around Coonskin Cover"
But those who had always obeyed
him defied him now. They went
ahead and built log school house
and rudely furnished it.
The teacher engaged was Miss
Betty Sloan, of one of the towns OF
the lowlands. She was young and
belonged to another world. 1t was
more that she might study the noun
