FAVORABLE CHANGE IN
TON0PAH BONANzAM|NE
OWING TO IMPROVEMENT THE
DATE Of DELINQUENT SALE
HAS BEEN POSTPONED

The following statement by Her
nan Zadig is self-explanatory:
AT a meeting of the board of direc-
tors, held this day, it was deemed ad-
yisable to postpone the date of the
delinquent sale for fifteen days. The
reason the board has taken this ac-
lion is that we want every stockhold-
ar to know of the favorable change
that has taken place in the workings
OF the Tonopah Bonanza, in which
company the Umatilla holds approx
imately one-third interest. After
sinking the shaft of the 'ronopah Bo-
nanza 1926 there was encountered
what is called the oNidized Midway
andesite, proving conclusively that
the ore zone extends into the Bonan-
"a ground Further sinking will be
necessary to get into the West End
rhyolite or the trachyte, either of
which is the ore-bearing formation
This, in my judgment, is great news
for the camp OF Tonopah, as it Ger
tainly extends the ore zone down as
far as the Bonanza aud maybe fur
Their.
At the Umatila the diamond drill
got into crushed ground and at pres
ent the driller is engaged in cement

NEVADA C|NNABAR CO.
PREPARING TO SHIP
PRODUCING QUICKSILVER AT CA.
PAcITY; METAL is SELLING
AROUND 500 PER FLASK

Between eight and ten TASKS of
quicksilver are being produced daily
at the property of the Nevada CHINA
bar company, according to the man
agement, and shipment will be sent
out in the near future. The metal is
now quoted between $92 and $95 per
flask of rs pounds in first hands and
between sos and $100 per pound in
second hands. The Nevada Cinnabar
company's property is located at lone,
Nevada with the offices of the com
pany in Salt Lake. The mine was
never in a better condition. says the
! Tribune.
The best opinion prevalent in the
quicksilver trade is to the effect that
the metal is bound TO sell higher in
| the near future due to the embargo
that has been placed on shipments
/ from Italy by that government Prac-
tically all of the European powers
have prevented the shipment OF the
metal. Prior to the declaration OF
war by the European powers the
metal was selling in New York and
San Francisco around S35 per flask
Of rs pounds
The Scott furnace is now produc
ing at capacity, the walls having be
come thoroughly charged so that the
metal flows from the condensins
chambers with regularity, increasins
and decreasing according to whether
the ore being treated is of high-gradt
Tor of low-grade nature. The mine
Is responding to development worl
and a better grade of ore is beint
broken daily.
Quicksilver is used mainly in thu
manufacture of illuminate for eXplo
sive caps and various other forms o
explosives Recently the powder man
ufacturers of the United States hav'
been using larger quantities or tn
metal in manufacturing powder, thei
chemists having discovered, it is said
the formula used by the Japanes
and held secret for years by that gov
ernment The metal is also used i
the form of drugs, electrical appl
ances and scientific apparatus and i
the recovery Of precious metals, esp'
cially gold and silver. by amalgami
ton. The production of Austria, on

POLICE RESERVES CALLED OUT
dark LANTERN BRIGADE
IN FULL PURSUIT

Something awful happened yester-
day. Some fiend in human shape will
fully, perversely and criminally re-
moved the lid from Charley Sokohc's
fly trap, the one that has been in
the public eye all summer and which
has been the motif of so many mys-
FERROUS proceedings.
A few days ago Charley ceased us
ing molasses to attract the musca do
mesticus and substituted stale beer.
The result was general offensive
movement from both Clyde and Shan
non, with a drive from the river Bug
and other streams where the winged
creatures were hitherto peacefully oc
cupying their trenches
With the removal of the lid from
the fly trap fully two gallons of flies
escaped and they are still at large
What depredations these inebriated
insects may commit before they are
corraled, no one hazards a guess. Al
lall events Bill Evans and his mer
are the busiest people in Tonopah to
day and it is possible that there viii
be no time TO arrest the Bonanza

DECIMAL SYSTEM IS
URGED IN ENGLAND
PROPOSED THAT FARTHING BE
MADE BASIS OF NEW METHOD
OF COMPUTATION


LONDON Aug. 17.--Proposals to
establish a decimal system of coinage
in Great Britain are again receiving
attention lin the newspapers. The
latest advocates are soldiers return
ing from France. who have become
accustomed to the decimal system in
use there, and have quickly recog-
nized its advantages.
The proposal most generally en-
dorsed In England is that the farth-
ing be made the basis of the new sys-
TEN. There is already a coin of this
denomination In use In England, its
value being one-fourth of a penny or
about half of an American cent. II
is proposed to make 100 farthings
equal to one form (the common two
shilling piece of English coinage, and
equivalent to so cents American)
This involves only a trif1ing change
from the present system, whereby 80
farthings make one form
Under the proposed system the
units of money would be:
100 farthings make / FORM
10 forms make l pound.
The shilling would thus become an
intermediate coin, representing 50
farthings, and the six-penee a SINH
lar intermediate coin. representing 2;
farthings.

MISS DUNCAN'S PUPILS

NEW YORK, April Alive little
girls, the pupils OF Isadora Duncan. the
dancer, were routed from the cots
temporarily fitted up In the Century
Opera House where Miss Duncan is
appearing In Oedipus Rex, by inspec-
tors from the 1re department, and
forced to seek quarters elsewhere. =,
Worn out by a strenuous day at
learning to be little Greek spirits Of
the dance they had slipped away from
their companions and hurried away to

youngsters were bundled into their

pupils were marched from the opera

could hardly wait for their attendants
to get them ready For bed.
Miss Duncan explained that the chill
dren were accomm odated with cots In
the building because Of the time saved
for them. The situation would have
been saved had not a fire inspector,
walking through the building Wednes-
day night, suddenly blundered into the
bedroom after "lights out causing
general fright and much shrieking.
