BUTLER THEATER

Hazel Dawn, one of the most bean.
tiful stage artistes that ever appear
ed on the screen, will be seen tonight
at the Butler in THE Heart of Jenni-
fer" 1t Is the story of woman's
strong love for her husband, which
prompts her to place upon herself the
guilt OF the crime committed by his
sister. In the role of Jennifer, Hazel
Dawn suggests with infinite tender
ness and pathos the heroic fortitude
OF the sacrificing wife. The tense dra-
matte construction of the story is so
well balanced that the swift progress
OF the plot never pauses until the To-
gical and overwhelming climax is
reached. in which, by the way, Jenni-
fer's husband discovers the innocence
and courageous remuneration of his
wife, and learns to apPeciate her love
more than ever before. For LAVISH
ness of interior and beauty of exter-
Tor settings, the production conforms
with the highest standard of the Para
! mount program. The preliminary
reel. which will be very interesting
in itself, will be the first of Burton
Holmes travel pictures of America,

and Improvement done and made by
the defendant company during the
year 1912, the plaintiffs contending
that such work did not, in their judg
ment, benefit any of the claims be-
longing to the group and did not even
benefit the Verna claim on which the
shaft and Improvement were actually
located The defendant company com
bated this contention in toto and pro-
duced on the trail nine disinterested
expert mining men of Tonopah who
all testified that the work done by
plaintiff tended to develop the entire
group and did develop them The
plaintiffs produced one witness who
testified that, in his Judgment, the
work did not tend to develop or bene-
fit the claims. The court summarily
nonsuited the plaintiffs as to the Verna
claim and also as to the Bell No IA,
the latter on account of its having
been located in 1912 and hence was
not subject TO relocation for forfeit
ture on July %, 1913.
The jury evidently accepted the ties
timony on the part of the plaintiffs
as to four of the remaining claims in
the group and awarded those to the
plaintiffs and the other two were
awarded the defendant.
The case has occupied the district
court for about ten days. The ques-
ton of whether work done on one
claim for the benefit of a group ac-
tually benefited the entire group was
the issue in the case, and by the YER
diet of the jury, if it is allowed to
stand, It would appear that parties
who own a group of unpatented mining
claims are in considerable danger of
losing their outlying claims if they
have been concentrating their annual
development work upon one claim. II
is understood that the defendant com
pany intends at once to ask the court
W SiohA q htN illdl anu ii IL is re-
fused to carry the case to the supreme
court, as its contention is that the
verdict of the jury is squarely against
the overwhelming weight of the evil
dence.

watched with great deal of interest
by mining men and particularly own
ers of mining claims lying in a group |
who are seeking to develop the entire

centrated method upon ONE claim for
the benefit of the entire group, in

BIG AUTO TRUCKS

GOLDFIELD MAN PUTS FOUR MA.
CHIMES IN ACTUAL ORE
DELIVERIES

Luning is now shipping over so tons
of copper ore per day, and with in
creased hauling facilities can easily
double its production, says the Walker
still the heaviest producer, but devel-
opments in other portions of the dis
trict indicate that there will soon be
competitors for the honor.
Walter Norris, superintendent of the
Goldfeld Silver Pick, manager of the
Wall Street Mining company, has en-
gagged four seven ton REQ trucks,
which are to operate under contract
to deliver 25 tons day at the rail
road
Work is being rapidly pushed on the
wagon road being built by the county
across the dry lake out of Luning.
An ordinary rainstorm would formerly
have made this road impossible, and
during the past winter no ore ship
ments could be made from the mines
for months at time. The road bed
is being raised above the level OF
the flat.
Joe Marshall brought into camp
samples of copper glance which he
| had just uncovered on his Copper
| Queen group. This is said to be the
richest ore that has yet been found
in the district being estimated to carry
better than so per cent of copper

MONARCH P|TTSBURG PICKS UP GOOD ORE

engineer, who was using every pre-
underground has ever had as much
as crushed finger in the years that
the Monarch has been operating under
its present management.
In the early days of the develop
ment of the Monarch depth was
sought after and the shaft was sent
down to 1922 feet 1t developed, how
ever, that the dip of the country car
ried the shaft into the hanging wall
After the Gaping had been traversed
there came zone of West End rhyo-
lite, and unmistakable blush green
formation, which is bearer of veins
as is the matrix or Mizpah trachyte.
There came next calcite andesite,
which is not believed to be ore bear
ing.
After number of crosscuts had
been run at depth the company had
a geological survey made and as a
result the upper levels were invest-
gated. A vein 100 feet in width was
| cut. II is one of the nose massive
| quartz formations in the camp, but it
| has one fatal defect--it doesn't carry.
| That is, it does not at any but few
points yet explored, while it has every
earmark of making into lens at any
round of shots.
AT one point last summer con-
siderable body of high grade was
found. 1t carried ruby silver, but un
| fortunately it was merely raisn in
the pudding. The Indications were
| that the greater enrichment was high
| er in the vein and an attack was made
on it by Mr.. Smith on the $50. He
has been so fortunate as to pick up
the ore, not in nodules of pay, but
in a continuous stringer At present
it is only eight inches wide, but it is
the sort of stuff that delights the eye
and initiates the pocketbook The vein
is three hundred feet from the shaft
in southwestetly direction. It's
trend is well within the bounds of the
estate.

Owing to its commanding position
in the western end OF the district,
Monarch Pittsburg is at present at
tracing considerable interest. But it
is not its location alone that is put
ting it into the spotlight. The big
vein is carrying values. A Bonanza
representative Clipped away yester-
day at an eight inch stringer contain
ed within the vein, which was shining
with chalcopyrites, indicative Of gold
values, and the average from the
breakdown should easily go $50 to the
ton, for in addition to the black sui
phides there is native silver in the
rock.
II Superintendent Branch Smith had
not called attention to this stringer
it might easily have passed by, as all
the rock is of one color due to the
dust created by blasting. And right
here let it be stated that the Monarch
Pittsburg is doing its best to prevent
danger of contracting what is known
as miners consumption by wetting
down the muck after every shot, while
the holes are bored with water drills
Another element tending toward safe
ty is the automatic brake which sup
plements the guide clutches in case
of an accident. The sheaves, counter
balance and cable are inspected daily,
while on the various levels there are
telephones by which to communicate
with the engine room.
AS an indication of the care that
is used Mr.. Smith, while the Bonanza
man was underground yesterday after
noon, gave the hoisting signal to the
engineer. The skip at the time was
below the $50 II started to rise, but
instead of proceeding to the surface
as might have naturally been suspec
ted, IT stopped at the level. The
engineer knew from the impulse OF
the cable that there was neither men
nor muck aboard And also by the
way, the only accident that has ever
taken place in the property was to an
