HOW THE RED CROSS

Anti tuberculosis Workers After $3.50,
900 Fund.

Nearly $2.JOO.O00 has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last
seven years. and yet many people who
will buy these holiday stickers at this
eighth annual sale do not know how
the charity stamp idea originated.
1t was war that brought forth the
charity stamp-our Civil war of 81 to
65. Some of your grandmothers first
played post Office" with stickers SIM

1862. when they conceived the idea OF
selling stamps at fairs for the benefit

elsewhere. Nearly $1,000,OoG was rails

war this method of raising money was
discontinued in this country for gen

secretary of the Delaware Red Cross

our American Red Cross Christmas
seal. In 1907 Mr.. Riis's interest was
aroused by the receipt of a Christmas
tuberculosis stamp on letter from
Norway. He published an article about
this queer looking stamp in the Out

for it in this country Miss Bissell al
once saw an opportunity here and pre-
pared stamp. from the sale of which
her society realized $1,000 for tubercu-

this success that she induced the Amer

1908 on a national basis. With very
little organization and with hardly any
attempt at careful advertising the sale

Brief Mining News

Reports received from Alta through
private sources are that the Copper
Prince tunnel OF the Michigan Utah is
improving continuously as the work
progresses. The latest report is that
there is full breast of ore, most OF
which appears to be of commercial
quality.
Production of ore at the Prince
Consolidated at Phoebe, New, the past
week, all of which was shipped to the
smelters of Utah, amounted to "A car
loads. This is estimated at 3,700 tons,
or more than 500 tons day. The
heaviest day was $50 tons and the
lightest 450 tons.
Sublessees on the American Flag
property of Park City, which recent
ly was taken over by the Park City
Mines company, have been shipping
some good grade of gold-silver ore
from the 500 and 7O0-foot levels. A re-
cent consignment of nineteen tons
brought about $500. The ore averaged
$4,000 a ton.
The city is full of mining men, large
and small, looking for purchasable
properties, and of miners who want
to work in them. These nights a
stranger is fortunate If he secures a
place to sleep. All this as a result of
the publicity Wood rivers mining re-
vival is receiving on the outside, says
the HALEY, Idaho, Times.
One of the new big copper proper
ties OF Montana is to be listed on the
Salt Lake stock market on account Of
the large market that the local ex-
change now affords. Those behind the
property have decided that Salt Lake
has good market for stocks and,
therefore, will list the Boston & Mon.
taDa Development company.
The United States will within the
coming year be producing more than
10000 tons Of zinc annually. Smelters
which depend on the foreign ores are
sending mining engineers throughout
the western fields in the quest Of zinc
ores and concentrates.
Tom Buell., the successful mining
man Of Round Mountain, closed deal
last week whereby he, with Tonopah
associates take over the property of
the Antimony King Mines company
located eight miles south of Austin,
says the Reese River Reveille.
Two prospectors a few days ago
located an enormous body of tung-
stem ore, three and one-half miles
southwest of Mount Montgomery
Nevada, and only one mile from the
southern Pacific tracks.
Plans are being perfected by engi.
neers in Salt Lake and San Francisco
to generate electricity from the slack
beds in the coal fields of Utah With.
in six weeks an experimental plant
will be established at some point in
Carbon county, where tests will be
conducted under all conditions.
Judging from his first inspection oi
he new Sawtooth mining district in
Millard county, forty-fve miles south
west from Oasis, on the Salt Lake
Route. L. Holbrook. we'll known Salt
Lake mining man, declares that it IL
his opinion that 1t will make good.

Ready For War

Should war be actually declared
against Mexico, and Nevada is called
upon to furnish her quota of troops,
Lincoln county will not be found
wanting. 1t will be on the fireing
line with good representation of
its patriotic sons.
Last Wednesday County Clerk
Culyerwell received set of blanks
form Governor Boyle, which the ex-
ecutive had sent in the effort being
put forth not only to organize a
national guard, put also a company
Of volunteer cavalrymen.
One of the blanks provides for tile
signatures Of those wishing to join
the national guard; the other to
those who desire only to volunteer
their services during the present
crisis.
Mr.. Culverwell has obtained the
names of nine persons who are an
| xious to serve their county as volun-
teers, if they are needed, and they
are as follows:
w. t. McNabb, w. j. Stphens,
c. w. Austerman, W. NJ Bambric,
Henry Ross, Maurice Bowling, Frank
d. Young, Louis Costoro and Chas.
Culverwell.
Some thought, when they heard
that Mr.. Culverwell was going to join
the ranks, that it was only a joke.
But it isn't; Charley means it, and
when the Nevada boys array them
selves before the Mexican frontier
Charley will be there with the res,
of Nevada's soldier boys.
