In ell the world. only one city has more
telephones than Omaha. In proportion. 10
the population Within the last year,
Omaha has stepped from third to second
place among the cities Of the world In
the per capita use OF 'ephones. so that
now. only san Francisco ranks ahead o.
the Gate City in the proportionate use Of
this great necessity Of modern life. No
foreign city compares with the leading
American cities in the use OF phones.
There are now 1856 telephones in
Greater Omaha. and over $4,000 calls are
handled daily through the eleven ex-
changes. The phones are divided among
the exchanges az follows: South Side,
40i5; Douglas, l4.se6; Harney, 6,1s5; Tyler,
2S7S Webster, 4.7cs; Colfax, 2,7e1; Wal
nut. 3,3Os; Henson, 1872; Florence, ass; Raj
stou, 66, and Bellevue, 196.
The Nebraska Telephone company
doubled its gain I'm new phones during
1915. During the year. 1000 new ones
were installed, as against 1,S2O new
phones in 1914 The increase now gives
Omaha one telephone fer every four and
a half people living in the city. whereas
a year ago the telephone ration was one
phone to every five people.
During the last year, the phone COM
pany has improved and extended its
local properties greatly. The new Colfax
exchange was opened at Thirtieth and
Fowler streets ON October 10. at a cost Of
10000 for building and equipment.

The year 1915 has been a very good one

The religious work of the association

through the Sunday campaign, and the
attendance at the gymnasium both of
men and boys has been very large.
An average Of some $500 people per

RICH ORE STRUCK
 ON TIPTOP GROUP

PHOENIX, June l0-Ore that IS 72 per cent tungsten has been struck on the Tip claim of the Tiptop group, in Yavapai county. The rich ore is only eight inches wide but on the day that it was struck a full ton was taken out. It carries little silver, in which re- spect it differs from the orc in the main Tiptop workings.
 About 1000 feet north Of the main Tiptop ledge is parallel vein. ThouSh it Is only two or three inches wide on the surface 1t can be traced through three claims. The work of sinking shaft on this shoot was commenced only a few days ago. The vein wid' ened steadily and at l6 feet 1t was IA inches wide. Here the rich tungsten ore began to come in. Though the pay-streak is only eight inches wide its phenomenal richness makes the strike an important one. No time Is to be lost in taking out more of the ore and it is probable that large shipment will soon be made from Phoenix to Pittsburg.
 There Is little demand for low-grade tungsten ore and concentrates but the Tiptop Consolidated Company re centlv received an offer of S6O unit for GO per cent product.
