The fashion of building a house with
considerable width of frontage is prev,
alent in a great many towns and vii
lagos of the middle West Ordinarily
such houses require wide lots, which
probably is the principal reason why
they are not so much built in cities
where land values are very much
greater.
In most towns and villages the res
idence streets are lined with shade
trees, so that after the noon hour
there is considerable shade, which is
a great relief from the hot morning
sun. 1t is noticeable that a shady
lawn usually is cool. Large shade
trees, with the branches trimmed up a
distance of twelve or fifteen feet above
the ground, are said to possess a sue
ton which draws the air under the
branches and creates a breeze even on
comparatively still day. The real rea
son is that there always is breath OF
air moving across the landscape. When
the advancing current of air meets an
obstruction like tree, Ii parts and
PASSES around the object in every d.
rection. Part of the moving air is com
pressed between the tree branches
and the ground. Because Of the re-
stricted area the air moves faster
which accounts for the pleasant sensa
tion of light breeze that is so often
noticed under shade trees in the sum
mertime.
This house should be built on LOT
at least fifty feet in width-sixty feet
would be better. The frontage may
be either north or west. II it is ne
cessary to front towards the east II
would be better to reverse the floor

Hen as Trained Nurse.

Johnny Hillyard. six-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. NJ. Hillyard, who live
near ellis, on the Mount Hood rail-
way, owns black Minorca hen, which
he would not trade for the best hen on
earth nor for her weight in silver.
Recently Johnny was taken sick and
confined to his bed in a tent for sew
eral days. The Minorca hen, discon-
ISOLATE over the loss of her playmate,
refused to eat until she discovered
where the boy was. and then she
"camped' In front of the tent. Moth

LESSEES PLAN
TO ERECT MILL
CONFIDENT HOLDINGS IN SILL
YER CROWN WILL MAKE
THEM WEALTHY

DR.. f. A. Wheeler and G. w. Wat
son, owners of the Wheeler Watson
lease on the property of the Cotton
wood Canyon Mines company at
Silver Crown. formerly known as
Stimler, so miles west of Goldfield,
arrived in Goldfield on Thursday
The purpose of their visit is to meet
upon arrival here tomorrow William
II. Calvin of Chicago, president of
the parent company, and other off
cials who will make an inspection Of
the property with a view to the ear
lily resumption of operations on COM
pany account.
Recent developments in the
Wheeler Watson lease have greatly
revived interest in the Silver Crown
district, which promises to come rap
idly to the front. DR.. Wheeler ex-
presses himself as highly pleased
with the results being obtained in
the development of the lease and is
confident that he and his partner
will be made wealthy through its
yield of ore. He states that the
drift along the fOotwall of the vein
has been advanced more than 40
feet. Although the pay shoot is ten
or more feet in width the drift is
now only being broken four feet wide
and assays show average values OF
500 per ton, according to d.
Wheeler. He states that he and his
partner will soon have a test run
made upon 40 tons of ore to deter
mine the character of milling plant
which they propose to erect on the
ground

IMPORTANT FIND
MADE IN ATLANTA
MANAGER DARCY CONSIDERS IT
MOST SIGNIFICANT YET
MADE IN NINE

What is regarded by General Man
ager A. |. Darcy as the most sig
nificant discovery in the property OF
the Atlanta Mines company has re-
Gently been made on the 166O-foot
intermediate level. The find was
uncovered last Sunday but was not
announced by Mr.. Darcy until We'd
nesday for the reason that he wished
to first determine its importance.
The discovery has improved with
each succeeding foot of exploratory
work and Manager Darcy is highly
pleased with the showing, saying
that, taking all conditions into con-
sideraton, it is the most important
disclosure made in the property IN
its entire history.
In advancing south on the level
named, south drift 1O16 on sunday
revealed four feet of ore that yield
ed an assay return of $41.60 per ton
i'm gold, in addition to small silver
and copper values. Since the strike
was made the drift has been ad-
yapced about 10 feet and the face is
now exposing five feet of ore, the
values remaining the same as above
stated. A 50-ton railroad car was
loaded Tuesday with the output OF
the drift and a second car was tlied
Wednesday. The two carloads were
DESPATCHED Thursday A stope above
the drift on the orebody has 'ust

In order to make it possible TO
develop the orebody more economi-
cally and expeditiOusly, ManaSer

1OO6-A above the main southwest
crosscut on the 175O-foot level,
which crosscut first revealed the big
vein more than year ago. Severai

similar to those which attracted re-
newed attention to Goldfield follow
ing the wonderful discoveries of ore
at depth in the Jumbo Extension
prior to and around the first of the
present year. The camp was then
making rapid strides toward COM

SILVER CROWN
WINNING FAVOR
GOLDFIELD MEN SAY DISTRICT Is
DESTINED TO ATTRafT
ATTENTION

Silver Crown, the rejuvenated camp
of Stimler, fifty miles west OF Gold
field. promises to attract wide atten-
ton in the mining world IL the near
future. Such is the belief of nj. l..
Hewitt, r. l.. Richie and Guy Millard'
who made visit of inspection there
Monday in Mr.. Hewitt's car. Thev
returned to Goldfeld much impressed
with their observations and loud IN
their declarations as to the posslblli-
ties of the district.
The members of the party say 'iie
showing in the Wheeler-Watson lease
on the property of the Cottonwood
Canyon Mines company is truly won
derful. The lessees have thus far
drfited about 70 feet along the loot
wall of the vein on the 75-foot Level
of the 15O-foot incline shaft in What
was formerly known as the Stinler
lease and have ore exposed for the
entire distance. The face OF the
drift is now being broken for width
of ten feet, all of which is an ex-
cellent grade of ore with streaks car
rying sensational values. Ore as
broken down and placed on the
dump is at present averaging around
$50 per ton.
1t is learned that Messrs. Wheeler
and Watson are planning the early
construction upon the ground OF a
ten stamp mill and for that reason
are making no shipments of ore. o.
ficials of the parent company, resid-
ing in Chicago, are daily expected
to arrive at the property and 1t Is
understood that they plan to resume
development work upon an extensive
scale on the various levels OF the
4OO-foot vertical main shaft.
1t is stated that the district is
traversed by a great many veins,
varying in width from foot to 80
feet, and that excellent values have
been revealed wherever development
work has been attempted. G. W..
Watson, one of the owners OF the
Wheeler Watson lease, told the
members of the Goldfield party that
he had openeu up on ground located
by himself and partners fifty-foot
ledge which gives assays ranging
from So to SIS per ton across its
entire width and which can be trac-
ed for a great distance. The vein
which is giving such an excellent ac-
count of itself in the Wheeler Wat
son lease has been traced for 4
length of about eleven miles, it is
said. Judging from all reports, Sill
yer Crown is destined to develop
into a huge milling proposition
Several Goldfield parties owning
ground in the district are planning
