Ripr0p With Stone
Sections of Slopes
Leading TO the "Steps''

After the tennis courts and the play
grounds have been placed in condition
other detachments of the force will
get busy on the planting and grading.
Unfortunately the park budget is so
limited this year as to cripple the
work seriously. The frequent high
stages of the river this Spring and the
damage done at several points has
made necessary considerable repair
work and unless funds are provided in
some way these conditions will grow
worse during the summer.
Owing to the accessibility of the
river parks from Iron alley to the
northern limit of the city they are
becoming more and more popular and
the people realize that no investment
under the general improvement plan
has been so wisely made as restoring
the River Front for the use of the
people. However, there is more
planting and gardening to be done
and it is realized that this cannot be
accomplished without funds 1t is
probable that City Commissioner
Gross will endeavor to get an extra
appropriation for this purpose.
For instance, the stretch between
the Market and Walnut street bridges,

from the standpoint of the visitor, has
not been placed in shape since the
closing of the gap in the river wall
last year. This will require consider
able planting and some grading. Inn
mediately north of the Walnut street
bridge, in the heart of the city. there
is n section which demands i'm
mediate attention. And still other
points must be given prompt atten-
tion to prevent further damage and
expense. To-day a force of men were
clearing up the river parks and SOW
ing grass seed. Tt is the intention of
superintendent Forrer to repair the
walks as soon as possible and especial
ly those sections which are dangerous
to pedestrians.
It is the present intention of the
Department of Parks to rip-rap with
I heavy stone those sections where
walks lead from the top of the river
slope to the granolithic steps. 1t is
believed this will prevent the destruc-
tion of the walks at future high stages
of the river. 1t is also the policy of

forces was fleeing southwark toward
Durango and they were daily nearing
this force of bandits. In order to
proceed past Parral the Americans
were forced to buy provisions for
men and horses at that town. It was
this necessity which led Major Tomp-
kins to open negotiations with the
Parral civil and military officials The
concentration of American commands
was so rapid after the Parral fight
that at present there is no worry for
their safety among officers here.
The day after the fight Presidente
Herrera of Parral sent messengers to
Colonel Brown saying he regretted
that there had been a fight. He said
that he thought the Americans should
not have gone into Parral un-
announced. Colonel Brown replied by
pointing out that the Americans had
gone at what seemed a most reliable
invitation from CarranZa officers and
had certainly sent the message to an
nounce their coming.
The presidente repeated that Parral
civilians outnumbered the soldiers so
that the people could not be con
trolled. So far as the actual fighting
was concerned the Americans assert
they obtained positive evidence that
the Carranza troops were not out
numbered by civilians and that few
civilians participated.

note suggested that he was unable to
control his men. Tompkins replied
Immediately and quickly there came
another flag of truce from Lozano
who still was at the Mexican front.
This second messenger brought a de-
mand from General Lozano that
Major Tompkins withdraw and threat
ened to attack him if he refused.
Colonel Brown who arrived at this
time with $50 men of the Tenth
cavalry and took command, replied
that he would not retreat step from
Santa Cruz until ordered to do so by
his commanding officer. To this
General Lozano made no reply.
Hotbed of Villistas
Investigation of the Parral situation
showed that while General Lozano
had record as q Carranza officer most
of his command was credited with be-
ing former Villa soldiers. The city of
Parral was known as a hotbed of
Villa sympathizers. The direct effect
of the CarranZa attack on the Amert-
cans was to interrupt the fast pursuit
of Villa which the American columns
were making with a handful of men.
While they were unable to verify the
stories that Villa was wounded and
on O stretcher, was being carried by
his men southwark past Parral, they
know that an important unit of his

On the Cameron Parkway
Work is being pushed incidentally
on the city encircling parkway drive
from the present terminus of
Cameron extension to Reservoir. The
park department have been notified to
move from the almshouse grounds the
several hundred tons of limestone
which were taken out of the roadway
cuts and these stones VIII be stored
somewhere until the department can
crush them into sizes sufficient for
crowning the new driveway.
The =. and II. Subway
The park department is still
patiently waiting to hear from the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company as to the utility's views on
the plans for a subway i'm the drive
way west of PaXtang. While the COM
pany may not share in the actual cost
of the construction of the bridge to
carry its tracks, the city rather expects
the railroad company to at least bear
the expense of supporting the
temporary superstructure IN such a
way as to carry the tracks without
interfering with traffic. This in Itself
will amount to several thousand of
dollars.
In other branches the park depart
ment is a mighty busy one. Park
benches are being made ready for
setting out, trees are being trimmed,
the grass is being clipped, and the
tennis courts are being placed in con-
dition.

Another force of men was engaged
to-day in restoring the public tennis
courts. the track and baseball fields
the Island Park. Owing to the in
creased width of the Cumberland
Valley bridge and the building opera
tions the running track is being re-
constructed. Much damage was done
by the high water but considerable
progress has been made on the
restoration of the grounds.

OUTLOOK IN
NORTH iYE COUNTY
ENGINEER PREDICTS A GREAT
FUTURE FOR MINES OF
MANHATTAN

George T. Lundlee has returned
from a tour of the northern end
of Nye county. where he was call
ed in his capacity as electrical en-
gineer, and he expresses himself
most enthusiastically over the pros
poets of this section.
"At Round Mountain the big
company is doing excellent work
and has enough placer in sight
to keep going for the next Is
years. Over at Belmont the Moni-
tor mill is handling 100 tons daily
of silver sulphides and making a
good extraction by the ~flotation
process. The most significant i'm
provement is the order to reopen
the mine, which has been closed
since late i'm the seventies.
The deepest shaft is down 500
feet and there stands 400 feet of
water which will be pumped out as
soon as a new electrical centrl-
fugal sinking pump can be install
ed. This shows the faith of the
owners in the future of silver,
which can be treated more ecoDo-
mically than at any previous time
owing to the introduction Of cleo
tricity and the success of the flo
tation process.
The Wittenberg and Mushett
people are overhauling their pumps
ad machinery with the intention
OF resuming work in one shaft.
There are others in the same
camp all figuring on going ahead

Manhattan will be as active as at

days of the camp."-BonanZa.

Is
MAKING GOOD

\ Encouraging reports are COM
Ting in from the Wolverine proper
ty, situated a few miles southeast
of Winnemucca, in the Harmony
range.
julius Sigmond, who was one of
the locators of the property, states
that the operating company is
surely making a mine there. The
main shaft, which is equipped with
a hoist, is down over one hundred
feet, while the upper shaft has
passed the 50-foot point.
Mr.. Sigmund saws that both these
workings are disclosing fine bodies
of ore.
While this property is known
as a copper mine, says Mr.. Sigmund
the high values are in gold and
silver with a good percentage of
the red metal. Last week some
exceptionally rich copper ore was
encountered, but at the same time
the gold and silver contents as
sayed high. The company has
recently received a new skip which
is being used in the shaft.

SPEED BARNES
SHOOTS OUNFEE
ATTACK MADE AT HORNSILVER
FOLLOWING QUARREL OVER
LEASE

Speed Barnes, formerly engaged
in the grocery business in Goldfeld
with his brother, well known to
Goldfeld residents and now engaged
in leasing at Hornsilver, at about
9 a. m. today shot j. w. Dunfee, a
mining man of Hornsilver, at that
place. The shooting is said to
have been the result of a dispute
over a lease held by Barnes on Dun
fees ground. Dunfee received 20
buckshot in the head, face and body,
which are in so deep that only two
of them have been removed. One
of the shots is lodged almost
against the jugular vein.
Dunfee came to Goldfeld in his
auto after his wounds had been
cared for at Hornsilver and is able
to walk about the streets, although
suffering greatly.
Assistant District Attorney Roger
Foley and Deputy Sheriff Bogard
went to Hornsilver to arrest Barnes
and are expected to return this eve
ming.
Dunfee states that he had given
Barnes an option On some proper
ty and that later three men came
to him and asked for a lease on
the same property. Dunfee refer
red them to Barnes and a short
time after saw Barnes, who said
that he would give no lease as
he thought he had a mine. Dunfee
saw the three meu n told them
what Barnes had said. On Thurs
day, Barnes went to Dunfee's office
and in a conversation regarding
the lease, hot words were passed
and Dunfee ordered Barnes from
his office.
Dunfee states hat was the LAST
time he saw Barnes until this
morning, when the shooting occur
red. He says that he was walk
ing from an assay office to the
post office, across the street and
directly away from Barnes house,
and that he did not see Barnes
until the latter shouted at him,
calling him ugly m When
he turned toward Barnes, he was
fired at from a distance of about
100 feet.

TONOPAH MINE DEVELOPMENTS ARE
SET FORTH IN REVIEW FOR WEEK

The drift to the east on the
950-foot level at the Rescue-Eula
Mining company is being advanced
steadily. During the past week the
face of the drift has continued in
a good width of ore of very good
grade.
Shipments were made at the
tons was sem to the mill.
The winze work has been prose-
cuted without very much change
showing since the last report was
issued.
Connections beween raises | and
when the intermediate drift holed
through into raise 2. The increased
air circulation has improved work
ing conditions materially. This
drift is at a height of 115 feet
above the level of the main drift,
and is continually in ore.
The West End Consolidated Min
ing company shipped to the smell
ters on June 3rd, as the result of
the final cleanup for the month
of June, 81 bars of bullion, weigh
ing 62,418 ounces. This shipment
has a toal estimated value of $49,-
934.4O.
The work at the ~Buckeye-Bel-
mont this week consisted of driv-
ing the cast drift 20 feet under
the contact, toward the big ledge.
From now on, it is expected that
more rapid progress will be made
in this drift, and at the same time
work in the other places to con-
meet with the orebodies will be
carried forward vigorously.
Such good progress is being
made in the sinking Of the winze
at the Mizpah Extension Mining
company that within the coming
week it will have reached the point
that is contemplated to be it's bot
tom level. The work of cutting
out for a station will then be in
stituted Immediately, and lateral
work projected on this level. which
will be designated as the 1345.
The plans as at present formed
embrace the running of a crescent
in a n~ortheasterly direction.
Halifax-TOnOpah
At the Halifax-Tonopah mine,
the work of running boxes to con-
troll the water at the bottom level
has reached a point less than a
hundred feet from the face of the
cross-cut, and by the end of IN
other week should be entirely
completed. When this work shall
have been accomplished that of
driving the face of the crOsscut
ahead will be resumed and push
ed as energetically as possible.
On tne 1300-foot level, a raise
has been started from 1904
cross-cut, to tap the vein below
the square-set stope on the 1917
intermediate. The cross-cuts TO
the east and west on this level
continue to advance in trachyte,
and satisfactory progress was
made in extending both faces.
Development work at the Cash
Boy Consolidated mine consisted of
the driving of the south cross-cut
from the west drift. This cross
cut is out so feet from the point
where it leaves the drift, and the
formation is practically the same
as heretofore reported. all the
ground through which these work
ings have been advanced being
highly mineralized. Tonopah

note that, according to reports
from Philadelphia, the number of
shareholders has increased from
Alps a year ago to 1914 now.
The average holding at the present
time is 1927 shares as compared
with 1858 shares last year.
At the local property, on the
700-foot level, east drift 706 on
the north branch of the Rhyolite

the vein, being 2 and a half feet
as compared with the 3-foot width

Rhyolite vein, the usual advance
was made on about 2 feet of good
ore. There is no change reported
in southeast cross-cut 705, which
is prospecting the hanging wall
side of the Belmont fault, this
work still being done in Mizpah
t%rachyte.
On the SOO-foot level, since the
last report was made, east cross
cut ST. cut through the Belmont
vein, and at the point where it IN
tersected the vein is about 3 feet
wide. The ore is of medium grade,
showing considerable improvement
in the way of values since the

Tonopah Mining Company
After very nearly a full week
spent in the inspection of the main
property of the Tonopah Mining
company, workings in the Mizpah
Extension Mining company's group
of claims, and the developments
which We're undTtaken by the
company under it's option of the
California and TOnOpah claims, ].
C. Spur. advising engineer and
one of the vice-presidents of the
Tonopah Mining company left for
the east last Sunday morning.
The Tonopah Mining company
has definitely declined to exercise
it's option on the California and
Tonopah group and has turned it
back to the original holder by rea-
son of the fact that the develop
ments which the company prose-
cuted so vigorously did not war
rant the taking owe of the option.
Immediately prior to his coming
to Tonopah, Mr.. Spur examined
the placer operations of the com
pany at Breckenridge, Colo. Mr..
Austin, president of the company
vas also a visitor to the placer
fields, but was called back east and
therefore did not visit Tonopah.
Mr.. Spur states that the three
dredges are working satisfactorily
and that the company is now
prospecting some lodes which were
uncovered by the dredges. A shaft
is being sunk and a crosscut driven
on thaca tn6eS
