On The West Tonopah.
/ Here general conversation ensued
between and among Dr. Ward, Mr.
Kirchen, Mr.. Knox and the Bonanza
representative. 1t was authoritatively
stated in this conference that there
had been no coalition of interests in
the western part OF the district, des-
pite reports to that effect that have
been current for months Each of the
several properties that recently chan
ged hands will be separately operated
notwithstanding the fact that the in.
terests are in some cases almost
identical
DR.. Ward at the meeting last Tues
day was elected president Of the West
Tonopah and Mr.. Kirchen will be
general manager of the property. Con
crete foundations are being laid and
a heavier hoist and compressor will
be installed. The power and telephone
lines to the property have been com
pleted and the water pipe will be in
in few days. 1t is the expectation
of the company that it will be under
ground within the next ten days. In
asmuch as the shaft was recently re
timbered, it is believed that little work
will be required on It. The shaft is
already $40 feet deep and there is lit
tie water in 1t. except seepage. It will
be rapidly driven to depths and later
al work done.

Victor and Merger.
At this juncture 1t is interesting to
note. as the excavation revealed,
that of the Victor stock all but 600
shares is already in the hands of the
Extension, while there are only 10000
shares of Merger outstanding 1t is
slow work getting the transfers COM
pleted as some of the stock is held in
Europe, while some of the certificates
have probably been lost. Until all
the stock is transferred the Victor and
Merger will maintain separate exis-
teuce.
The conversation drifted around to
Charles M. Schwab and his connec.
tioin with the Tonopah Extension Min.
ing company. DR.. Ward related some
interesting history. which probably is
not known to many, even to share
holders in the company.
In 1907" he said. "the McKane and
Red Rock groups were foreclosed on

But what President Ward failed to
state, and which information Mr.. Knox

dowed with exceptionally high moral
Christian character and rare intellect
Being born of slave parents. Moses
and Elcy West. who have gone to
their heavenly home. he received his
early training in the public schools Of
his home. Later, when he reached
manhood, he was not satisfied with
this limited knowledge. 80 he hired
private teachers and applied himself
diligently to study for number OF
years.
He was ordained elder by the late
Bishop Gaines in 1883. Since that time
the degree of doctor of divinity has
been conferred upon him by the Nor
ris Brown college. He has been pre-
siding elder seventeen consecutive
years, and with the exception OF only
once he has held each district five
years. He has been elected consecu-
lively to four general conferences. he
led his delegation twice and the state
delegation once.
That he Is n loyal member OF the
church conference is evidenced In the
fact that he has been n member of the
Alabama annual conference all OF his
ministerial career OF thirty years and
has been present at roll call and bene

In speaking of the political situation

A committee protesting to act for

the attention of white Republicans to
the fact that there is not an elective

The statement lays stress also upon
the fact that Negro voters have the

Montgomery. Ala.-The Forthcoming
general conference of the African Meth

May at Philadelphia, is subject of
nation wide discussion among Method
lists. In view of the fact that a number
Of religious questions affecting the
church will be gone into and a number
OF bishops elected to fill the vacancies
caused by deaths and to fill the de-
mands created for more bishops by
the wonderful growth Of the church
since the last general conference at
Kansas City, the conference will be ex-
tremely interesting.
This widespread interest is especially
intense In the state Of Alabama. Ell
ders, ministers, loyal laymen and Chris,
tian workers are all making it the topic
OF the day in church circles. They are
all of one accord that the time is ripe
for Alabama to have representative
on the episcopal bench. Alabama has
never had one OF her sons SO honored.

How the Sunday School Congress Il

Inersasina Its Usefulness.
By adding the department of educa-

sociological department the Sunday
school congress. a forward movement
that will convene in its eleventh an
nual session in Vicksburg, Miss, from
Wednesday, June IA, to Monday, June
10, has scored another big success.
The need Of this new department and
the demand for the enlargement Of the
second were apparent to the Sunday
school congress promoters several
years ago, but it was not until 1916
that conductors conversant with con.
ditions and capable Of handling such
department could be secured
At the session held in Birmingham.
Ala, the sociological department scor'
ed big hit. The enthusiasm that was
created in this one department was sc
high that the afternoons, in which the
meetings were held, were declared too

the attendance far exceeded the ex-
pectations of the officials Of the con,
gress.
In explaining the addition Of the de

anything definite being announced as
to the fate of the Carranza garrison in
