MINES OF TONOPAH ARE OPERATING
ON NORMAL BASIS WITH BIG OUTPUT
the property within a short time.
Tonopah Extension

Tonopah Extension
Brokerage offices here received q
flash over the wires that the di-
rectors of the Tonopah Elk. have de-
clared a dividend of 10c a share oil
outstanding stock of the company.
Though operations of the Tono-
rah Extension Mining company at
all points in the mine continue to
result in a most satisfactory man
ner the bright particular spot claim
ing attention is the winze which is
being sunk from the 1850 level Oh
the main workings of the Extension
towards the Victor workings with
the object of finally connecting the
drift on the 1910 level of the Vic
tor with the 1850 level of the Elk
tension for the purpose of affordins
greater and easier facilities for han
ding the vast amount of ore which
will soon commence to flow from
this section of the mine.
An interesting stage has been
reached in the development work Us
curing in this winze which has,
since the inception of work been
steadily and continuously going
down on a width of about IL feet of
very good grade ore. During the
weeks operations, good progress
was made and finally the half way
point between the Extension level
and the level of the Victor was at
tanned. At this depth sinking opera
tions have been ordered stopped
temporarily so as to enable short
drifts to he run east and west. Thus
a new level will be established
directly on the vein, and with the
extension of these drifts which is
contemplated after a resumption OF
operations in the winze is had, the
immense orebody developed through
the sinking of the Wine will be
blocked out in much better shape,
and the mining operations in this
vicinity will be conducted more ad-
vantageously and with greater facil-
ity when the complete connection
is made with the Victor 1910 level.
MacNanara Has Ore
Of great Importance to TonOpah
in general, and to those interested
in the affairs of the MacNamara
Mining company in particular is the
announcement that the company has
made arrangements with the West
End Con. whereby a good body of
ore that was exposed by the West
End in stopping operations near the
MacNamara line will be thoroughly
exploited on it's side of the line. The
extent of this orebody in the Mac
Namara ground is not definitely
known and cannot be determincd
until sufficient development work
has been done to prove up the dis
covery, but as the grade of ore was
very good at the point where the
West End stopped operations, lie.
when the boundary line between the
two claims was reached, these val
ues will 10 doubt be consistent, "
maintained throughout the entire
'ength and width of the ledge in the
MacNamara ground.

Forgotten the waltz and it's ianguorous
 stops, The maXiXe and it's manifold graceS, And dim in the past arc the animal hops, The fox bear and bunny hug paces. The clinkety clank O the clink-clanb
 skates Is the rhythm we now find enthralling Then ho for the pastime which fashion
 dictates! The voice of the skater is calling Come where the frosted arena is glowing
 To myriad lights; Follow the rest of the populace going
 To newer delights.
 The trot, the fandango,
 The Argentine tango Abandon with Chortles of glee,
 For tempus advances
 And dead are the dances. Away to the rink with me! The ballroom is dusty; the ghost of the
 dance Is limping alone, broken hearted. He dips and he glides. but his dolorous
 prance Is naught to his glory departed. The clinkety clank O the clink-clank

TRUSTEES" GIVEN HOLIDAY.
North Carolina Governor Allowed Con-
 victs to Return Home.

Governor Craig of North Carolina granted three days leave of absence at Christmas to all 'trusty" convicts, and the plan was apparently success. The governor has already received letters rom many of them expressing their gratitude. and, better still. he has had numbers of telegrams from county officials saying that the men have re- turned promptly. In Buncombe county thirty-tive came back and in Wake fif- teen
 The governor says all have returned according to their pledge. The total number Is estimated at from 450 to 900 He says he is convinced that they return better men, with more respect for themselves and from the public. He believes that the plan will improve prison discipline and result in better ment of prison conditions.

BRITISH HERO A GERMAN.
Wife Learns After His Death In Bat
 tie That He Was an Alien.

remarkable story of how German named Leibold enlisted under the name or Baker. served for nineteen years in the British army. rose to the rank of squadron sergeant major in the Elev- enth hussars and died the death of a hero in France while fighting against the country of his birth is hidden be. hind the granting of certificate of naturalization to his widow. Mrs. John Mowat Breadalbane Baker of Godal. ming. Surrey.
 what is more remarkable is that the disclosure of Bakers German national. lty surprised no one more than if did his wife.
 IL was not until eight months after his death that Mrs. Baker. who had been married to him since 1908. learned for the first time that her husband was German and that she. because of her marriage. was also a German and an allen enemy of England
 This discovery caused the registra ton of Mrs. Baker under the alien re- striction order. and for time she lost her pension. Her nationality and pen. sion, with the arrears have been re stored to her.
 Last month Mrs. Baker read in a pa per that Mrs. Leibold, German. had been prosecuted for failing to register In the report of the case it was stated that Mrs. Leibold had come to England from Germany after her husbands death and that she had son. squad ron sergeant major. who had served in the Eleventh hussars and had been killed in action.

AMERICAN DIPLOMATS HAVE
 TO SPEND MUCH IN TRAVELLING
Secretary Lansing Would Increase Ap-
 propration For Expenses.

That American diplomatic and con sular officers suffer financially when shifted from post to post by promotion or transfer is disclosed in memoran- dunn just submitted to congress by Secretary Lansing. He asks for an increase from $50,0O0 to $125,0O0 in the appropriation for transportation of these government officers on the ground that the present allowance of 5 cents Il mile to reimburse them for expenses of travelling to and from their posts or upon official business Is made quate.
 Computations by state department officials show that the cents a mile fails to reimburse an unmarried con. sular officer by from 2 mills to 10 cents a mile and a married officer by from mills to $1O2 mile, according hcer's family and the quantity of household effects transferred to the new post, the average loss of each of ficer being estimated at IS cents a mile. or $215.47 for each promotion or transfer
 Secretary Lansing cites these in. stances: Cost of transportation and subsistence of an officer transferred from Washington to Hongkong, for himself and wife. $S2O5O. The gov ernment reimbursed him $5S7 80; per sonal loss, $232.70. Officer and wife transferred from London to Naples: Transportation and subsistence cost them $20O; government reimbursed them $67.65: from Naples to Gothen burg, cost $2S3; government reimburs ed them $95.S5. In none of these eases was cost of transporting household ef fleets included.
 Secretary Lansing says that these of. fcers compete with similar officers of other governments which pay the en tire expenses; that naval officers get cents mile in the United States and actual expenses abroad, and senators and representatives get 20 cents mile each way.
 The state department recommends tion is to accord with the practice of nearly every other first class govern. ment so as to allow actual transporta ton and subsistence expenses for dip lomats and consuls and their families. together with their household effects

WOULD BUILD WATER FRONT.
Engineer Has Plan to Fhl Up East
 River at New York.

hiNeF dt TNeW rOFk.
 One of the most startling projects ever conceived for the relief of the harbor congestion in New York has been proposed by one of New York's most prominent consulting engineers. pr. T. Kennard Thomson. In the Jan uary Popular Science Monthly appears a vivid description by Dr. Thomson of the steps he hopes to take in order to make his plan a reality.
 Tn brief. he plans to reclaim fifty square miles of land from New York bay. to add hundred miles of new water front for docks. to fill in the East river and to prepare New York for population of 20.0OO.OOO. This work is to be done by building coffer dams, and after pumping out the wa ter laying the subway tubes, gas. cleo tric and telephone conduits he will fill in the inclosed space. This, he claims. will be very inexpensive method of construction since It would not entail the costly tunneling to build the sub way after the construction had been completed. pr. Thomson believes that through taxes and additional business which would come to New York this project, while its original cost would be greater than that of the Panama canal. would surely and quickly pay for itself

Volume of Business Handled In 1915
 by Cooperative Marketing Associa
 tons Was o,oOo,ooo--Great Prog.
 ress Has Been Made. but There Is
 Room For Further Improvements.
 The advantages of cooperation in the sale of farm products are emphasized in the annual report of the office ot markets and rural organization of the department of agriculture. just pub lished
 The conclusion seems warranted" says the report, that in communities where cooperation is practically ap- piled to the farmers business the re- suits obtained are far more satisfac- tory than those secured by individual methods"
 It is estimated that farmers cooper. ative marketing and purchasing organ izations transacted in 1915 total busi- ness amounting to more than $1,4OO.- 100000. Agricultural cooperation in the United States is therefore far more prevalent than Is generally believed but it is not yet on sufficiently strong business basis.
 For this reason the office of markets has studied the various methods em- ployed by these associations and has worked to devise means by which these methods can be perfected. The studies also have included the prevailing meth ods of marketing perishable products cotton. grain. cotton seed. live stock and animal products
 Seeking Direct OutIsta
 Studies have been also made of city markets in order to secure information which may open up outlets for farm products In this connection the report calls attention to the experimental work in distributing timely market in- formation concerning perishabie prod ucts
 An effort has been made to keep pro- ducers informed of arrivals and condi- tions in the large markets and on the other hand to keep dealers informed of shipments from the important produc- ton sections. Stra rawberries. peaches. tomatoes and cantaloupes were the crops covered in this way during the past season Glutted markets have been prevented to some extent. total shipments have been greater. and large bodies of growers have received accu- rate information concerning conditions in competing producing areas and dis tant markets
 The work of encouraging the proper preparation of products for market has been continued Investigation into problems of transportation and storage has been continued to determine the cause of the great loss of foodstuffs between producer and consumer
 Experimental shipments by parcel post and express were made during the year with many kinds of fruits and berries. lettuce. milk, butter, eggs. sirup and vegetables. In nearly every case it was found that the success of the shipment depended on the judg- ment used in selecting the quality of the product and the type of container.
