OLD AURORA

The Aurora Consolidated mill at
Aurora is row treating 200 tons
daily and in the course Of another
month expects 10 be putting
through 200 tons and in the course
0f Sky days the mill will be rum
ming to capacity.
This is the statement of l.. N.
Mctzgcr, general manager, who was
in Tonopah Sunday. He says the
property never looked better but,
at present, the company was intent
on completing construction before
bad weather set in and interfeed
with the hauling and adding to the
cost Of transportation. After the
first snow fail it is often found
necessary to make a double change
from auto trucks to sleds on the
road from Hudson and to spare this
change the construction forces are
applying themselves unremittingIy.
The company has l60 men employ
cd in the mine, mill and building.
The results so far derived have
beenltully up to expectations on the
basis of five dollar ore, most of
which is saved, as the manager
pointcdly puts it.
1t is understood that the company
is saving at the rate Of SO. 40 ton
and when the mill is running to
capacity the prospects of doing
much better are excellent. As Sec
rrtary Howe stated in his forecast
Of operations the Aurora is not
anxious to declare dividends and
will not do so until there is n larger
reserve accumulated to discount
any troubles that may occur after
the company is in full bIast.-Bo-
nanza.

Last week the Times contained
an account Of the supposed suicide
of Ed Brooks in Smith Valley.
Since the writing of that account
there are grave rumurs to the ef-
feet that the tragedy may have
been murder instead of suicide.
At any rate there seems to be con-
siderable mystery about the mat
ter, and the case will probably be
looked into more fully. There are
circumstances which would lead to
the belief that Brooks did not kill
himself. There was not powder
mark on the side Of his head where
the bullet entered, which would
hardly have been, the case had the
muzzle Of the gun been place
against his head by himself. There
was not particle of blood on his
clothing and he had on clean pair
of overalls and jumper which had
no dirt on them. Other circnm-
stances are related which srength-

Life Boat Fell, Dumping 80
Women and Children
Into Ocean.

Hughtown, Sicily Island, June "a
The saving of the passengers of the
wrecked Belgian steamer Cortland was
accomplished by almost superhuman
efforts on the part of the steamships
crew and the life-saving crews which
came to the rescue.
Members of the life saving crew from
st. Mary's told today how one of the
Gothland's small boats, crammed with
women and children, broke away from
the davits and fell 80 feet into the sea.
The bottom Of the BOAT was smashed
and all were thrown into the water.
The women and children struggled
helplessly in the waves. A quarter
master Of the Cortland sprang from
the steamers deck and succeeded in
saving three of the women.
Several of the life saving crew also
jumped into the water and handed
drowning children to their companions
in the rescue boat until all had been
saved. There was a heavy sea running
and all salvage work was perilous, but
eventually all were got safely ashore.
The crew of the Cortland, which was
on the voyage from Montreal to Rot
terdam, again went on board today,
to jettison some of her cargo of grain
in the hope of tightening the boat suf-
ficiently to refloat her.
