WEEKS OPERATIONS IN TONOPAH MINES:
TWO BIG COMPANIES SETTLE TROUBLES

suit. settlement was for the best
interest of camp"
West End Consolidated
The report from the West End is
a little more detailed than usual and
shows that the mine is in a very
satisfactory condition.
Stopping was continued above drift
555 intermediate during the week.
This stope is about IL or IA feet
wide and is yielding a very good
tonnage. A waste fill is being car
ried in this stope as close as is prac-
ticable to the working face in order
to save timber.
Stope $50 is yielding a small ro,l-
mage of very good grade rock, c"me
CT it running as high as SIS AMI $50
per ton in car samples. Filling is
also continuing in this stope.
Slopes G and ID, above 537, con-
tinue to yield considerable tonnages,
varying from five to eight feet in
width of moderate grade ore. Drift
J., which is a westerly drift from
537 intermediate, was worked con-
tinuously during the week, but the
quartz showing there is very much
broken up and shattered, due ap-
%parently to the presence of a great
many small faults. Drift X on the
same level, which is. running in an
easterly direction. has improved
somewhat during the week.
North Star
A working winze below the 1850
level on the high-grade ore recently
encountered has been started and a
hoist may be installed in the near
future if the showing justifies it.
The northeast drift from this un-
derhand work was driven "a feet on
the vein during the last week, the
showing for the entire distance be-
ing very satisfactory. The face at
present exposes four feet of excel
lent ore which is going down in the
floor of the drift.
One carload of so tons of excel
lent ore was shipped to the West
End mill during the week, and an
other carload is going forward at
this writing.
No changes occurred during the
week on either the $50, $50 or
1850 levels, the several crosscuts
being advanced the usual distance
in trachyte.
Monarch Pittsburg
Persistent and intelligent develop
ment work is going ahead at the
Monarch Pittsburg for the purpose
of finding the ore shoot that the
many favorable indications lead the
management to believe exists in the
neighborhood now being explored.
The north drift from the west cross.
cut has advanced about 80 feet and
during the week cut a bunch of ore
from which an assay of $112.45 was
secured. One feature regarding
this ore is the fact that the ratio of

The raise in the vein is now ~
40 feet and though the rock has all
the appearance of good mill ore, as
gold to silver is higher than is usual
says fail to reveal better values than
So per ton as a rule. The same
thing is true of the east drift which
has advanced 20 feet.
Tonopah Merger
The usual good progress was made
on the west drift on the 1880 level
of the Tonopah Merger during the
week. which shows decided improve
ment owe the previous week. This
drift has at different times encoun-
tered a number of faults, but these
are being solved and considerable
new ore is being exposed.
Stopping is in progress on the $50
level, the usual width and values
being maintained.
The stope above the 1910 level
continues to yield a good tonnage
of milling ore from an ore body five
to six feet in width.
Jim Butler
At the Jim Butler mine there was
not much development work during
the week from Desert Queen shaft,
what little there was being confined
to the 900 level.
On the 700 level of the Wandering
Boy shaft raise No. 2 is maintaining
its fine showing, there being seven
feet of very good ore in sight. A
new raise has been started off the
west drift. 740, and it is following
two feet of ore of fairly good grade.
There is considerable work go
ing on at the 500 level, but it shows
NJ particular changes.
ResCue-Eu
About 25 feet of drifting has been
tered in the south crosscut on the
$50 level of the Rescue-Eula and
no important change has occurred
since the vein was first struck. A
raise has been started on the vein
at the point where it was first open
ed up on this level. The south
c%rosscut is being continued in the
trachyte, with considerable quartz
showing in the face in the nature of
punches and stringers. some of
which show small values.
The north crosscut on the $50
foot level was advanced the usual
footage in trachyte and shows no
change.
No work was done on the 500
level during the week, owing to the
unusual amount that was in prog
ress on the $50.
cash Boy
The water having receded from
the Cash Boy shaft, work has been
resumed on the south crosscut at the
1850 level. A drift is also being
run to the west and it is showing
some nice streaks in which are found
some fair values. Work will now
be continued to those points.-To-
nOpah Miner.

PRINCE CON. IS
SHOWING GOOD

Recent developments in the Prince
Consolidated at Phoebe have been
the source of much satisfaction to
the Salt Lake management. 1t is
estimated that the fissure vein above
h water level has already produced
not less than 100000 of commercial
ores, which have been moving to the
Utah shelters at the rate of $50 to
500 tons daily. To date practically
all of the Prince ores have come
from the oxidized zone, but now eff
forts are trained on the wrestling of
values from the almost untouched
sulphide bodies of ore which it is an
ticipated will prove far larger and
higher in value than the everything
leached veins. In an interview yes
terday President A. II. Godbe ex-
pressed himself as extremely opti-
mistic over the future of the Prince.
Some time ago drill holes were
sen down several hundred feet from
the 500 level to prospect the I'M
known depths. In one place an IS
foot bed of sulphide ore was en-
countered. This was $50 feet below
the 500 level. A winze has been
sunk so feet below the 500 on a vein
which has produced ore which
brought the company as much as
$1,000 gross to the ear. More air
has been secured and pumping
equipment has been installed on the
500 and the Wine will be unwatered
and carried down probably 800 feet
before much prospecting is done. 1t
is anticipated that this work will
yield the company a lot more of it's
higher grade ores and add CORE
spOndingly to its steadily increasing
treasury.
1t is understood the treasury now
is near to 100000, and that the
present operations are increasing
this at the rate of about $4,000 a
month. With the mine placed in
shape for extractiops of the better
grades these profit figures, it is es-
timated, will be materially i~ncreas-
ed. The present treasury is consiG-
cred ample to not only carry forward
sH' y SoAhpdiSh VI important up-
velopment work, but is also suffi-
cient to erect the proposed new mill.
This, too, is contemplated with addi-
tional profits, as by milling the low
er grades of ore on the ground and
shipping a concentrate instead of the
crude ore a large monthly transport
tation charge will go into the treas
ury. Work on the mill will likely
be well. under way inside of ninety
days.
With a fat treasury, an estimated
availa bic tonnage at the mine of up
wards of a million tons and several
hundred thousand tons of profitable
grade of ore on the old Bullionville
dump, the Prince Consolidated is
considered today in by far better CON
dition all around than ever before
in the history of the company. The
recently issued annual report was a
source of satisfaction to the Utah
stockholders. The stock on the Salt
Lake Exchange has in the past few
months more than doubled. - Her

George King.

George King, a native of Nc
Connellsburg, died at his home

proper age to enter the State in
stitutions provided for the older
blind.
Fourteen states are already
represented, and one little boy
from Cuba, forty children being
the total number now in the home
and as many more have been
graduated.
If you know of a blind baby or
you have one, write promptly to
Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden, Sc
Fifth avenue N. Y. City, founder
of the Sunshine Blind Baby In
stitutions and she will give you
all information.
She maintains that the public
has no right to assume that be-
cause a baby is blind it has no
brains. Her ten years work in
behalf of the baby blind demon
strates that the blind should be
cared for from the day they are
blinded and one should not wait
until they are OF school age, when
blind children in the past have
been eligible to State Institutions.
She declares that the blind be-
come feeble-minded from lack of
brains, and if the children are
given attention from the day of
blindness few, if any will be re-
fused at the State Schools at the
age of eight, because of being
too backward or feeble-minded
to take advantage of the training
there prepared for them.
1t is your duty, therefore, since
the State now makes provision
for the care of the baby blind to
report such a child if you ever
see or hear of one in your state.

Elected State President.

From Lake City Leader.
"Dr. c. S. Shore, of Lake City
was elected to the Office of Presi-
dent of the minnesota State
Veterinary Medical association,
in session in st. Paul. This Sc
lection came as a surprise to DIR.
Shore as he was not present at
the meeting, and did not know
that his friends had decided to
honor him with the election.
"The Office is not only an i'm
portant one, but one that requir-
es both executive and medical
ability, as the association is now
one of the largest in the profess
sion in the northwest.
"Dr. Shore had made himself
popular with the members of his
profession because of the various
papers that he has written and
given to the State association.
The selection is recognized by
everyone who is acquainted with
the doctor and are in the least fa-
miliar with the work that he has
done since coming to Minnesota
and locating in Lake City.
He wired his acceptance on
Thursday evening and expressed
his appreciation and thanks for
the confidence extended to him
by his brother veterinarians in
Minnesota"
Scott, as he is more familiarly
known among his old schoolmates
and friends up about Waterfall,
is a son of the late Eli Shore, a
brother of Bruce at Three Springs
and a cousin of our townsman
Clarence B. Shore. He was born
and grew to manhood, on a farm
q miles from Waterfall, and at
tended the home school until he
became of age. Having decided
upon a professional life, he atten-
ded a summer normal at Orbi-
sonia, then took a three-years'
course in the Veterinary Depart
ment of the University of Pen
nsylvania, graduating with honor
being third in his class. Shortly
after this time, he went to Lake
View, MINI. where he has been
successful in building up a large
and lucrative practice, and now
stands at the head of the organi-
zation in his state. Scott did not
have any money to start with,
but he believed that where there's

Teach Better Reading.

If teachers, parents, and all
who have anything to do with
the education of children could
be impressed with the Importance
of training them to become good
readers, this branch of the COM
mon schools would receive the
most attention during the child's
first years in school. We claim
that the ability to read readily is
the foundation of all education.
Give a big boy a problem, and
if he has to lay the book on his
left arm, hold it by the top, point
to the words with his finger,
chew his tongue half off while
painfully spelling the words, he
will get about as much meaning
out of his reading as the baby
when it tore up the News
last night before you got to see
it.
We know whereof we speak
when we state that half the fail
ures in recitations are due to the
pupils inability to read the les
son readily enough to sense"
the subject. Turn a boy out of
school before he has learned to
read readily, and right there you
forever shut the door of progress
to that man. 1t is not the multi
tude of rules and formulas COM
mitted to memory that enables
him to copebwith the world, but
it is the power to extract facts
for himself by reading, that fur
nishes the material for his edu-
cational structure. If the en-
deavor to read is laborious, the
man will do as little of it as pos
sible, and when he is not at work |
you will usually find him among
a crowd of his calbre telling sto-
ries, or-worse yet gossiping. |
His mind was originally active
enough, but he was robbed of
his facility for improving it when
he was turned out to make his
way in the world before he could
reao well enough to make read
ing a pleasure. And this good
old world is full of men handi-
capped in this manner. ]
