Superintendent Lowe that he has
diligently pursued a campaign of
development which has resulted
SO successfully.
The West End Consolidated Min
ing company has recovered from
the interference to operations caus-
ed a couple of weeks ago, when the
forced to suspend owing to lack of
power. Tonnages have regainel
their normal average, and during
the past week the output from the
disputed portion of the mine and
from West End territory proper
amounted to SS5 tons. That the
mill is again running to capacity is
proven by the fact that during the
past week it received shipments
from the West End and Halifax, as
we'll as from other regular custo-
mers, a%ggregating 1914 tons.
The report of operations at the
Halifax Tonopah Mining company
deals with the work of developing
the big orebody which has been a
regular producer for many months,
and with the stopping operations
which are carried forward on the
two Intermediates below the 1900
foot level, where the vein was of
such splendid proportions that
square-setting had to be utilized in
getting full advantage of the big
widths.
A satisfactory rate of advance
continues to be made in the DRIFT
to the west at the Monarch Pitts
burgh Mining company's property,
which is intended to make connec-
tions with the raise from the lower
level. Notwithstanding that the for
nation, West End rhyolite, through
which the drift is proceeding, has
become highly silicified and had
been found harder to break through,
tie drift was extended a good dis
lance during the. week. No other
change of any Importance has been
noted as a result of the work dur
ing such period.-Tonopah Miner.

MINE
NOW SHIPPING

p. II. Craven. manager of the
Craven copper company's property
about 35 miles northwest of Jungo,
in the Antelope range, is arranging
for the shipment of a lot of supplies
to camp today.
Owing to the damaged condition
of the company's new truck, which
arrived at Jungo a short time ago,
and the extreme cold weather and
snow. the company has beer some
what retarded in sending out ore
shipments. The truck has been re-
paired and it is understood that the
mine. which is in the Red Butte
district, will be operated on a more
extensive scale than heretofore.
The company has already accomp-
lished a large amount of develop
ment work on the property and has
uncovered extensive deposits of
high-grade copper ore.
A short time ago when doing de-
velopment work the miners encoun-
tered a two-foot vein of copper
glance of very high grade, besides
opening a big deposit of cuprite and
copper glance containing Is per cent
metal.
The company is using compressor
and machine drills and a large guam
tity of ore is being piled on the
dumps ready to be hauled out.
Prior to the storms setting in ore
was being hauled steadily to Ante
LORE station and then shipped over
the Western Pacific to a smelter for
Star.

Ruth Law, the champion woman
aviator of America, stood on terra
firma lear Norfolk, Va, and saw
Victor Carlstrom rise to a height
of several thousand feet in her new
%triplane, built especially for her for
use in her proposed trip from San
Francisco to New York next spring.
Carlstrom flew over Hampton
Roads and then circled Newport
News and Fort Monroe. The aver
age speed was more than seventy
five miles an hour, and better coulG
have been made. The machine be-
haved beautifully, and Miss Law
clapped her hands with glee when
she saw it glide and rise gracefully
at the will of the operator.
This was the first time the ma
chine eve left the earth. Miss Law
was not afraid to be the first to
make a flight in it, but wanted to
see how it behaved by observing
another handle it.

NEW SHIPPING PLAN VI
ACHIEVES RESULTS

Chicago, Dec. 4-"Excellent re-
suits for all interests concerned are
being obtained by the plan adopted
for stabilizing receipts and prices Of
livestock in the Chicago market" said
A. NJ Schoyer, chairman Of the Chi
cagO car service committee Of the rail
roads war board.
''This plan, which restricts ship
ments to certain days of the week
from certain zones within specified
mileage limits from Chicago went in
to effect last Monday. On that day,
the livestock receipts here were 27 900
head The following day there were
$4,000 head. In the preceding week,
the receipts on Monday were 100000
head and on Tuesday only 5000 head.
when the weeks livestock ship
ments are distributed with the same
daily average arrivals at Chicago,
more uniform prices are assured for
the grower or shipper of livestock, the
packers are able to operate their
plants more efficiently and the rail
roads can use their equipment more
efficiently. The wisdom of the plan
adopted to obtain these desirable re-
suits is assured"

FRAT HOUSE BURNS;
STUDENTS FIGHT FIRE

Marcus Baxter Of this city was one
of the young students who fought the
fire at Psi Epsilon fraternity house in
Madison, one night last week. The
young men smelt smoke about 4 a.
M. and found a blaze in the furnace
room. They battled bravely but with
out success. Some of the freshmen
thought the "Sophs" were playing a
joke when the call came and almost
burned up. AS a result many of them
got away in their night clothes. One
young man came rushing down with a
mahogany candle stick and another
wore but one stocking. The building
and its contents were completely de-
stroyed. The loss including personal
effects valued at $4,000, was about
100000. $4,000 insurance was carried.
Marcus lost two valuable cameras,
his clothing and personal effects.
His salvage was a sheepskin coat,
slippers and pajamas.
