The recent campaign in Seward

as one of the cleanest on record. We

HALIFAX AND BUCKEYE
WILL Be CONNECTED.
cROSSCUT BEING RUN ON THE
1900 LEVEL TO SECURE
VENTILATION

The most important work in the
Buckeye mine at present is a strenu-
GUS effort TO connect with the Halifax
workings for ventilation. There is
about 300 feet between the two work
ings on the 1900 foot level and cross
cuts are being driven in both mines,
to this end. II is expected that they
will meet soon after the first of April.
After this connection is made much
more extensive development will be
started, and Manager Ballet says he
expects to have something good to re.
port very soon, in the Tonopah pro
perty. The Buckeye company also con
trolls drift gravel channel over mile
long in Plumas county which will be
developed this summer, Mr. Balliet's
position being enlarged to manager of
all the company's properties. Mr.
Ballet made a hurried trip to the
Plumas county property, to ascertain
the condition of the snow in that sec
ton of the country and arrange for
starting the work, but notwithstand
ing the interests of his company in
another state, the home office of the
company will still be in Tonopah. ant
Mr.. Ballet will keep his residence
here, though he may make frequent
trips to the other property they viii
be of short duration.

he Tonopah School of Mines within
The past week, making the largest
registration since the school was es-

be very gratefully received by Princi-
pal Bennett and the students.

dent association will be held some
time this month Within the next

up by the school. Throughout the win
