UNWATERING SHAFT
OF BONANZA COMPANY

John Magee, general manager OF
the Tonopah Bonanza and Great
Western Mining companies. has re
turned from a trip to San Francisco.
He states that the business which
took him to the coast was of a Der
sonal nature and had nothing to do
with the acquisition of more prcr-
erty in the western part of the dis
trict by the Greenwater Mining e.
Smelling company, or the Schwao
interests, which concern he repre-
sents.
The Great Western is now nearlv
unwatered. Within a day or two
on ins5ection of the bottom Of tho
rhaft will be made, when it viii
he decided whether to continue the
bore downward or crOss-cut the
country.
In the Bonanza good progress in
sinking is being made. The shaft
is now down 1860 feet. No latera
work will be done until the 15C"-
foot point is reached.-Bonanza.

Republicans DISCUSS Scheme
For Getting Clutch on
Best Positions.

That plan is in the works to boost
the salary of Sealer of Weights and
Measures Dennis Kelly from $1,000 to
$4,000 per year and to make the term
of office five years instead of one year
was ru1nor current in the city hall
today. 1t was said that a draft of such
a resolution has been prepared and
will be offered at the meeting of the
common council Feb. Z. Following
this it is reported that a number of
similar resolutions will be prepared
increasing the salaries and the terms
of office for a number of municipal
offices now held by Republicans.
This is said to be part, of a plan
OF the Republican machine to in
trench itself more strongly in its hold
on the city government. The Repub--
IcanS, having 19 aldermen as against
five Democrats, it is expected almost
any project of this character will be
sent through despite what efforts the
Democrats may make to conserve the
public funds.
Mr.. Kelly has held the present Of
fee for four years. His present term
will expire June l. The appoint
ment of the incum bent of his off1ce is
made in. May by the mayor and con-
frmed by the common council Mr..
Kelly has for years been an active
district. Besides the $1,000 salary
the city now provides him with an
automobile, an office in the Warner
building telephone. and also with a
costly apparatus for testing weights
and measures. It costs the city money
to maintain this department despite
the fees the sealer collects and which
he turns over to the city treasury.
An outline of the plan for the in
crease in salary and in term Of this
office was talked over by leading Re-
pubHcans today. Mr.. Kelly will re-
sign in the middle OF May and i1nne-
diately after will be re-app ointed by
MAYOR Wilson for the Increased term.
Before Mr.. Kelly came into Office
there were two sea1ers of weights and
measufes, one a Democrat, the other
a Republican. They had no auto.
mobile or costly apparatus nor did
they maintain an office or a telephone
at the city's expense. They were
were appointed each for a one, year
term and, they usually hiredl a horse
and buggy from some livery stable
and completed their work in two
months, taking their pay from the
fees they received. This is the sys-
tenn followed in most Of the cities
and towns in the state.
