TONOPAH OUTPUT
WEEK SI80,0O6

Last weeks output at Tonopah
is given in the Tonopah Miner as
follows: The Tonopah Belmont
Company sent to the mill 3,O79
tons, the Tonopah Mining 1919
tons, the Tonopah Extension
1850 tons, the West End 40 tons,
the Jim Butler $50 tons, the Hall
fax 81 tons, and the miscellaneous
leasers III tons, making the total
productive for the week 1897
tons, the estimated value being
l80,OO6. This valuation is calcu-
lated on the gross milling value
of the ore.

HIGH GRADE AT
SEVEN TROUCHS

Eight inches of ore, said by the
company officials to assay ST., 200
a ton has been struck on the 1900
foot level of the Seven Trougi,s
Coalition mine in Seven TroughS
district.
Samples taken from the streak,
according to report emanating
fror' tae s'irerilr endent's office
at the mine, have assayed $2O,.
600 to the ton.
Officials OF the company say
that the richness of the ore is no,
of such importance to t..eri as it
is that it is a confirmation of cx-
pert opinion that Seven rronghs
is a camp of deep ;,ooanzas.
Another gratifying feature Of
the strike to the management is
that it was made in new territory
in the north drift on the 1860
level, the deepest workings in the
mine. The new winze but recent
ly reached the l5OO-foot level, and
drifts have been ruin north and
south from it. The present strike
is 43O feet north from the main
winze.
While sufficient work has not
been done to demonstrate the new
find as a continuation of the ore
body on the l4OO-foot level, the
management thinks there is a
strong likelihood that it is an en-
tirely new hssure. The new find
has the dip and strike of the ledg-
es in the upper workings.

BLACK MOUNT.
AGAIN ACTIVE

The Black Mountain Property,
which is located near Schurz, and
which was formerly known IS the
Beach Yerington mine. is being
worked by a force of fifteen men
under the direction OF Manager
Kirchcn, we'll know ie the Cold
field End Tonopah districts. i he
work, which consists of a shaft
sunk on the vein below the oil
tunnel run to tap it, is being
pushed in anticipation of the re-
opening of the smelter, for which
operators are awaiting impatientiy
but hopefully. When the smelter
starts up the intention of the
owners of this property is to in
crease the working. force and
make regular and steady ship
ment to the Thompson plant.
There is reported an abundance
of ore on this property which is
of sufficient value to pay a big
profit if it can be treated nearby.

and codify the mining laws. The
matter of mining-law revision is
now in the hands of the House of
Representatives. Everybody in
terested in mining-whether in
the mines of the west or the Off

ROCHESTER FIND
PROVES WONDER

Late developments in the Colli-
gan lease on the Weaver No. 2,
one Of the group taken over by
the Rochester Mines Company,
indicate that the proven ore zone
of Rochester Hill will be extended
many hundred feet. The find ap-
pears to be an extension of the
west vein from the Crown Point
No. l, or at least a link fssure
joining that ledge to the north.
From a geological standpoint it
proves indisputably the strike of
the Rochester veins over a dis
tance of 1000 feet.
A cross-cut tunnel was recently
driven on this lease and the first
juncture with the ore was made at
the 32O-foot level, or about 20
feet below the horizon of the pres
ent Transportation tunnel on the
Crown Point No. l. When first
encountered the ore showed free
gold in quantity. 1t has now set
tied to gold and silver ledge car
rying excellent values similar to
the big deposits on the other side
of the hill, and indicating a close
relationship to the formation as
known in the main workings of
the Rochester Mines Company

EXTRA DAY FOR 1916

An eastern business man calls
attention to the fact that the year
1916 will contain an extra day,
through the schedule advent of
February 2l. He correctly states
that the revenue and new wealth
derived from this additional "a
hours will amount to millions OF
dollars. He suggests, according
ly, that February 10Th should be
known as Prosperity Day in the
United States and set apart as a
day for special purposes tending
to the general good of all com
munities.
The suggestion seems laudable,
particularly as applied to the east.
in the west, however, every day
is Prosperity Day, and is being
celebrated as such. Much of this
prosperity is due to mining. 1t
therefore world appear more fit
ting for the western States to des
ignate February 20 as Mining
Day, and to arrange an elaborate
program, at once instructive ano
interesting, in honor of the min
ing industry. This would be only
meet and proper. The west owes
too much to mining to ignore its
claims to Misunderstanding
and Financial News.

IF CARRANZA FAILS

The demand that has been
made upon Carranza for prompt
punishment of the bandits, how
ever, is one that will put him to
the test. We could ask nothing
less, he must comply with the de-
mand or admit his inability to dis
charge the duties of head of the
state. These inhuman murderers
cannot go unpunished. If Car
ranza fails or is unable to do his
duty we shall again be confronted
and for more urgent reasons, with
the necessity of dispatching an
armed force to Mexico.-Phila-

AT QUINCY CAL.

II. O. Howard, of Lovelock,
head of local company formed to
reopen the King Solomon group
OF placer claims near Quincy in
central southern Plumas county,
Cal, 90 miles from Reno, says that
arrangements have been made for
the installation of a sawmill on
the property.
The mill will prepare timbers
and other material preparatory to
the building of sluice boxes. Some
of these will replace those de-
stroyed since last fall. Others
will be used in connection with
the extensive development work
planned by the company.
The sawmill will be installed
as soon as the snow in that section
melts sufficiently to permit work
When the boxes have ben laid the
development Of the placer field
will be begun.
Weather permitting the COM
pany expects to have placer gold
going from Union Creek where
the field is, to the mint, within 9(
days.-Reno Gazette.

GUERNSEY STOCK
FOR The DAIRY
(By Mrs. Z. M. Dahl)

\
The growing of cattle and dairy
products is the chief concern for
the farmer of today. One of the
foremost thoroughbred stock is
the Guernsey, noted for easy
grazing in the pastures during the
spring and summer. Their bodies
are not too large SO as to hinder
them from getting around without
interference with their milk Sc
cretion.
The improvement of the Guern-
sey stock has been very carefully
sought in their own island home.
Earlier maturity and a more fully
developed lacteal system and in
creased size is the outcome of the
care taken with them.
They are best adapted to the
average arabic farm where milk is
wanted for the creamery or the
private dairy and where attractive
looking and high class butter is
very important consideration.
Even limited number III
large dairy of average cows adds
to the marketable quality of the
butter through the richness of
color it imparts.
The Guernsey has deep and pro-
longed milking qualities. The av-
erage production of whole herds
being very high and the cost of
production is low.
The milk is fully equal to that
Of Jersey in butter-fat, is even
richer. in color, and the average
yield per COW is probably greater.
Compared with the Holstein
the Guernsey has decided lead
in average richness of milk, are
far ahead in the easy keeping
qualities and are better adapted
for grading dairy up to the
highest point, where improvement
in the character of the milk and
butter are both sought.
Their offspring grow to much
larger size than the Jersey and
should be made ready for the
block at an age considerably prior
to maturity in order to obtain
from them the greatest profit.
The cows discarded from the
dairy have an excellent capacity
for meat making.
May Rilna 2276l, is the Guern-
sey cow who holds the worlds
record for butter-fat production
with 1868 pounds of milk and
l073.4l pounds of buter-fat, $40

one year.

highest standard alw avs look for
the best to start with. the Guern-

GOOD Time FOR
TUNGSTEN find

The production of tungsten ores
in the United States during 1915
broke the record and was appar-
emily equivalent to about 2,lo5
short tons of concentrates carry
ing 90 per cent Of tungsten tri-
oxide, and was valued at more
than $2,OOO,0OO. These figures
are based ON preliminary returns
to the United States Geological
Survey. The largest previous out
put OF tungsten ore was in 1910,
when 1921 tons was produced.
Conditions and prices in the
tungsten market were unsettled
and somewhat anomalous. Al
though the price in the latter part
1914 was 50 or more a unit, 90
per cent ore was sold in the early
part OF i9i 5 as low as $3.50 a unit,
SO that tungsten mining did not
start very briskly. Early in the
summer, however, orders for
munitions of war caused a
great demand for high-speed
stcels, to be used in cutting shells,
rifle barrels, etc. an embargo was
declared by the British Govern
ment on the export OF tungsten
ores from any part OF the British
possessions, and there was soon a
countrywide scramble for tung-
sten ores. Probably no one fore
saw the height to which the price
OF tungsten would rise, and some
operators contracted for ores at
prices which in ordinary years
would be high. but which were
soon exceeded by several hundred
per cent. Tungsten metal was also
contracted for at prices much be
low those afterward reached. In
the fall the prices OF tungsten
reached unheard-of heights; S4S
per unit was paid for numerous
lots, $50 for some, and even higher
prices were reported. The prices
moved upward so rapidly and un-
expectedly that strenuous tung-
sten prospecting did not follow
at once, but early in the fall a
large number of men were in the
field looking for deposits.-Gco-
logical Bulletin.

SENTENCED TO
SIX MONTHS

NAoPoeSii AiCih AOiOPdA ooJ ,
Col. w. w. Booth, editor and
proprietor of the Tpnopah Bonan-
"a, who was found guilty by a
jury last Saturday of gross misde-
meanor against District Attorney
Sanders of Nye county, was on
Tuesday sentenced to be confined
in the county Jail for six months.
No alternative of a fine was al
lowed him by ]. Emmett Walsh,
the district judge Of Esmeralda
county who sat in the case in
place of Judge Averill.
The dispatch says the sentence
was imposed despite the offer of
bonds on appeal and affidavlts
from four physicians that Mrs.
booth was i'll. Three responsible
residents also vouched for Col.
Booths appearance in court any
time he should be wanted, wit,
or without bail Six OF the jurors.
the dispatch says, took the stand
and told the court they would
have voted for acquittal had they
not believed Booth would be sem
fenced to a nominal fire.
1t was charged by Sanders that
an editorial in the Bonanza head
ed Grease the Rails, Says the.
Super" implied that he had been
improperly induced in his official
duties. Hence the accusation
against Booth of criminal libel.
AT the trial it was shown that the
editor was not in Tonopah at the
time the editorial was published
and that he did not write it and
had nothing to do with it. Under
the law, however, it was held that
he was responsible for the publi-
cation.
Judging from the Bonanza''s ed
itorials before the particular one
to which Sanders took exception,
the idea the paper sought to con-
vey was that the county commits
sioners of Nye were subject to the
influence of the district attorney
and that, when he advised them to
do a thing, they did it. Outside
of Tonopah, the expression is
used as a synonym of Let her
Slide" and the Tonopah jury, the
complaining witness and the Gold
field judge will find it hard to
make railway men or anybody
else give to it any other meaning.
No dictionary and no person who
ever used the expression, so far
as the Gazette is aware, ever gave
it an opprobrious signi6cation,
such as it was asserted to possess
by the prosecution at Tonopah.
Col. Booth cannot be denied a
stay of executi u pcnd'r2 his ap-
pc and we have 10 doubt. what
ever, that, on appeal, the supreme
court, removed as it is from neigh
borhood animosities that unfor-
tunately exist some times in COM
munities and which cannot help
influencing to some extent the
most impartial of local tribunals,
will set this matter right. In the
meantime, to show how the ver-
dict and sentence have affected
the rest of the State, if w. w.
Booth were a candidate for any
State Office tomorrow before the
people, his majority would be
overwhelming Reno Gazette.

$4,000 FOR
RABIES FIGHT

| ~ ''N "D~o h'PoiSh Woo oSe
aside this morning at a special
session of the state board of stock
commissioners held in the Offices
of DIR. w. 3. Mack Of the universi-
ty, says Saturdays Reno Gazette
ty, says the Reno Gazette.
This sum will be placed in the
hands of the state rabies commits
sion, which was created at meet
ing in Winnemucca on Wednes-
day. The stockmen have lost
about 100000 worth of cattle
during the epidemic and the ac-
ton today will practically levy a
a double tax on the stockmen of
the state as they will be required
to pay in addition the three and a
half cent levy made by the differ
ent counties. II. F. Dangberg, T..
J. Bell and ]. H. Cazier, compos-
ing the commission, attended.
S. II. Wheeler, president of the
Nevada sheep commission, was
present at the meeting and it is
probable that the sheep men will
appropriate another $1,000 to aid
in the fight
AT a special meeting OF the
county commissioners of Elko
county, held yesterday, the recon-
mendations OF the Winnemucca
conference were carried out and a
tax levied. The tax will bring in
between $1,000 and $4,000 in
Elko county alone.
Governor Boyle returned today
from Elko and stated that he had
not appointed the rabies commits
sion yet, but would do SO in a few
days.
Il feel that the appointment OF
this commission is one OF the most
portant appointments | have to
make" said Governor Boyle this
morning. The sentiment of the
people in the eastern part OF the
state is strongly in favor OF the
rabies commission taking charge
Of this matter throughout the
state, and the men who will be
in charge of the work will have
money to spend and great
amount of work to do. We arc
headed in the right direction now
and if all plans work out as ex-
pected we will be able to cope
with this situation in an efficient
manner.
Delegates to the National Wool
Growers convention, held last
week in Salt Lake City, Utah,
subscribed fund of $4,000 to
send committee to Washington
to work for legislation that will
obtain results more satisfactory
to wool growers in the admins
tration OF grazing area of the west
for non-partisan tariff commits
sion.
Resolutions adopted ask con-
gress to amend existing tariff laws
on sugar, meats wool and other
products through a non-partisan
tariff commission. The depart
ment of agriculture is urged to re-
quire that all imports from coun-
tries where the foot and mouth
and other animal diseases prevail
be sterilized or excluded, and SIM
liar action by the various states
is requested.
Referring to the prevalence Of
rabies among coyotes in the west,
the convention by resolution asks
congress to appropriate $500,OOO
at once to be used by the biologi-
cay survey in the eradication OF
predatory animals.

PRESIDENT PLANS FOR
 ST. LOUIS CONVENTION
Not Being Urged to Accept Marshall As Running
 Mate.

Washington, May 31.-Plans for the democratic convention at St. Louis and the ensuing campaign were discussed by President Wilson today with Rep resentative Doremus of Michigan,
 chairman of the democratic congress
 sional committee; Norman Hapgood, an organizer of the Wilson non-parti- san league, and Senator Taggart- of Indiana. Between. now and conven- 1 ton time the president is expected to devote much attention to politics. 1 Selection of a permanent. conven- 1 tion chairman was discussed. Speak CT Champ Clark was the first choice
 of the president, but it now seems that MT. Clark may not go to St. Louis. Senator James of Kentucky and Sena- tor Kern of Indiana are among those suggested for the place in case the speaker finally declines.
 While friends. of Vice. President
 Marshall believe there is no doubt that
 he will be renominated,. they are not
 urging the president to take stand
 on the question because. there are
 other candidates, notably Governor
 Major of Missouri.
 The plan of the convention mana
 gers is to have Alabama give way to New Jersey when the roll is called for the nomination of presidential candi- dates so that John w. Wescott, who has been selected by President Wilson to nominate him, may immediately make his speech. A motion to close nominations then would be in order. MT. Hapgood and the other mem bers of the Wilson Non-Partisan league are planning an extensive cam paign. It is understood the league
 will confine it's efforts entirely to re- e1ecting MT. Wilson.

IRISH QUESTION IS
 NEARER SOLUTION
Parliament for Nationalist Section With Ulster Ex-
 cluded is Planned.

London, May 31, 12:31 p. m.- There is a hopeful feeling today in political circles regarding the out come of the Irish negotiations. It IS possible that Lloyd George will make a statement in the house of commons before adjournment tomorrow, to the effect that considerable progress has been made, although the main diff1- culty-the exclusion of Ulster-is not entirely removed. According to pub lished renorts the provincial Irish members of parliament believe that an agreement is virtually certain and that the case of Ulster will be fully provided for.
 Parliamentary correspondents of provincial papers believe that the Irish question is nearer solution than is suggested by the London papers The Glasgow Herald understands that a settlement already has been reached on a basis of parliament for ma tionalst Ireland with Ulster, or a greater part thereof, excluded.
 The leaders of the two parties held a most harmonious meeting yester- day at which, according to the Her aid, the chief point at issue was set tied. The nationalists and the Ulster men, shook hands across the table at the conclusion of the m meeting. The Manchester Guardian agrees that the lines on which a compromise can be based have been found.
 While there is no confirmation at Westminster that an agreement &C., tually has been reached, it is believed that an early settlement is possible Sir Edward Carson has called meet ing of the Ulster members for today, at which he is expected to make re- port on the negotiations.

On PerShing's Trail.

Columbus, N. M., May 31-Julio Acosta, a Villa leader, formerly com mander at Guerrero, Chihuahua, with 300 followers, last reported in the vicinity of Batopilas, Chihuahua, is said today to be following in the wake of General Pershing's rear out post south of Namiquipa.
 From all accounts Acosta is try ing to make it appear in the Nami- quipa country that he is driving the Americans before him, and that be- fore long they will either have to fight him or leave the country peace fully. Reports have been current for several days at Columbus that bandit bands, were operating below General Pershing's lines
 Work on the new roads leading out of Patomas to Colonia Dublan is being pushed rapidly. Over 500 Mex ican laborers are said to be employed under heavy guard to protect them from possible sniping.
