.sEcoND CHOICE i"

Dy WILL 4N Ildl Dtll I1dI pcl olOtilCiSy
 publishers. New York.
 Once again MT Harben reveals the spirit of his Georgia and the new south in his new novel. It Is alive with the as- pirations of youth, and contains a chuck ling vein of humor It Is a story of in- |tensely human people for every reader ev- anywhere, this history of the younger ambitious son of a poor farmer who is attracted by the daughter of proud but impoverished family. His brothers con- duct costs the hero his position and his sweetheart. Years later after he has made second start in life, he makes a second choice in love.
 Nobo ody writes with greater charm than Mr. Harben and his books are as widely as they always contain interesting char acter delineation and unusual originality as to plot.
 Second Choice" is one of the season s "six best sellers and it quite deserves the popularity it has gained.
 Second Choice has a well-knit plot whose development grows out of charac- ter, and-supreme merit-not out of the characters of hero. heroine and villain alone. The old mother. preferring her wastrel to the son who would struggle upward from the poverty stricken farm. is, in reality, the most potent instru- ment of fate in the story. So is the hero's father, dreamy, incompetent, vaguely terrorized by his wife's will. a cipher in his own household, ready to forget everything in contemplation of the ways of nature-of the "early risers, ' in one charming passage, in a beehive. And so it Is the aristocratic relic of the south before the war, the old gentle woman who, in her own dainty, un- scrupulous way, opines that the world owes her living and more, and suc- ceeds in collecting it all. A story of the old south, this, side by side with the new, with it's cotton mills and economic awakening. Rarely has MT. Harben succeeded better in refecting the at mosphere of the region than in his de- scrptions of the old, somnolent country town, not yet awake. no longer asleep, still paying homage to old traditions, yet giving heed to a. new order of things. MT. Harben does not idealize what sur wives of the past-the aristocratic glamour does not dazzle him. wherein he stands apart among our southern authors. He presents it as it is, and why it must pass away before the en- ergy of a new generation no longer knocking at the door, but well within It's portals. And. last but not least, he has the gift of writing natural, en- tirely uninforced dialogue. The homely wisdom of his people is their own. not his

FATHER DERM0OY
THANKS CITIZENS
FORMER GOLDFIELD PASTOR
WRITES FROM HIS NEW
FIELD

Writing from Chico, Cal, where
he is now located, Father James B.
Dermody, for many years in charge
of the Goldfield parish of the Cath
Ollie church., expresses a desire to
thank the people of Goldfield for
their cooperation and loyalty to him
during his many years of service
here.
Father Dermody came to Gold
cid in the camps infancy and was,
particularly during the stormy per-
iod of early days here, a powerful in
fluence for industrial peace and for
civic as well as spiritual betterment.
He was greatly beloved by a wide
circle here, including persons who
were not communicates of the
church. Father Dermody's letter
follows:
Leaving Goldfield ooner than
anticipated, ! did not have an
opportunity of thanking the
people of the community for
the innumerable favors shown
me during my long career in
your midst. Situated az ! am
O in a new field of labor,
my greatest consolation is the
thought that the years spent
in the famous gold camp were
the happiest of my life. What
ever success attended my eff
forts in southern Nevada car

cooperation of my Catholic
and non-Catholic friends.
To all the citizens of Gold

wish to tender my warmest
thanks for the valuable presents
received on my departure. which

GETS EQUIPMENT
LARGE AMOUNT OF WORK Is
PLANNED BY COM
PANY

O. H. Dubois, manager of the
Washington and Nevada Develop
ment company's property, stated
yesterday that all preliminary ar
rangements had been completed to
commence active development at the
mine, which is located about 10
miles to the north of Carson City.
The new hoist is installed and the
boarding house will amply accom-
modate the men who will be put to
work there within the next week or
o days.
1t Is the intention of the directors
of the company to continue the new
vertical accompaniment shaft for
another 100 feet and then drift to-
ward the ledge. The shaft is now
down 100 feet. The vein they in
tend cutting is the same n that was
followed for $50 feet in the old in
cline, where the values across four
feet are better than $50.
All efforts of the company for the
next several months will be directed
toward development of the mine and
opening up the big orebody, and In
the spring the work of putting in
shape the mill that is on the proper
ty will be taken up.-Carson News.

Much ept-Over Soldier Returns

John Kuzma of Tonopah, a mem
Der of the third contingent of men
to leave for Camp Lewis, has re-
turned after having been rejected on
physical examination at the camp.
Kuzma never was anxious to be a
soldier and he and his wife wept
copiously when he was ordered
away. He was married after being
examined by the local board and on
the day previous to the departure of
the contingent he and his wife made
a final plea for exemption to the
sheriff, but without avail. His war
bride is overjoyed at his return.
Kuzma is an Austrian who has APP

MANHATTAN Mines DEVELOPING
and PROMISE BIG PRODUCTION

The week just passed has seen the
great east orebody of the White Caps
opened up both from the fourth and
fifth levels so that at this writing
on the fourth level the orebody has
been proven to have greater dimen-
sions between walls than was known
previously, and on the fifth level 1t
is being proven to have considerably
more length than on the level above.
AS shown on the upper levels the
orebody is continuous up to the east
fault which cuts it off. This fault
will not be struck on the fifth level
until 120 feet more distance has
been developed along the course of
the ore. SO far there has been on
development work to demonstrate the
width of the east ore between walls
from the fifth level, the drift being
III along the footwall. During the
past week 35 feet has been added to
the east drift on the ore.
Already the east orebody has been
exposed for a length of lis feet,
and when continued to the fault
mentioned 1t will have a demonstrat-
ed length of at least 235 feet and
possibly a greater length. The val
ues are still showing the same on
sistent high milling grade of ore. To
show just what the ore Is averaging
the car samples for the past three
days have run $2S, $50 and $50 per
ton. A sample taken close to the
footwall showed $50 in gold on
tent. On the fourth level the east
sill is being put in ready to start
stopping operations by the shrinkage
system.
The cut being made across the ore
for the sill floor has now been ex-
tended 80 feet, and neither wall
shows as yet. The footwall is known
to be back at least six feet beyond
the present confines of the sill floor
and the hanging wall will be at least
as far, so that with all conservative
ness 1t is safe to state that at this
point the east orebody is As feet be-
tween walls. The ore as exposed in
the present work is a great deal
higher in average values than as
shown from the drift, originally run
along the east orebody.
AS has been stated many times, the
average value of the east drift from
the fourth level is $36 per ton, so
that the reader may draw his own
conclusions as to the average values
now being demonstrated in the sill
cutting. On the third level the
east drift off the footwall cross-cut
has been extended II feet for the
week. a total for the drift OF 27 feet.
It has now been discontinued as the
stopping operations from the fourth
level will make use of the waste
rock from this drift for back filling

TOuts Were Fooled

With the payment by Charles W.
Ross, a typewriter repairer, of the
last 800 which Ross and II. c.
Scott, an elderly race-track follow
err, secured from a prominent Reno
man through representing to III lat
ter that they had a sure thing in
the shape of a fixed race at the
local track last week the threatened
prosecution of Ross and Scott was
dropped. The two men,, according
to representations made to District
Attorney Lunsford and Chief of
Police Hillhouse, split $3.50 on the
800. Through efforts of the dis
trict attorney and the chief of po-
lice the victim recovered all of the
money.

after connection is made. From the
fifth level the west cross-cut has
just been started to extend to the
shaft orebody, six feet having been
already made on the cross-cut.
Manhattan Consolidated
During the week the Consolidated
has had 45 feet added 10 the length
of the east drift from the fourth
level, the face now being a distance
of about 200 feet from the shaft.
The east orebody should be
tered in about SO feet more distance.
From the third level the south cross
cut has been extended 25 feet for
the week, only one shift being en-
ployed therein. A decided change is
showing in the face of the east drift
from the 400 level. Although too
Don to be sure, probably the mud
fault has been encountered.
Union ~Amalgamated
The footage fo- the past week, &c
Oct. "a, in the Amalgamated is as
follows: From the 600-foot level
the raise on the fissure vein has
been advanced 32 feet, a total of Al
feet. The shaft cross-cut advanced
80 feet, for total of SO feet. The
raise on the fissure has cut across
the Mushett ore-shoot for Is feet
with no hanging wall in sight as yet.
Due to the present program of
the company, to stop all development
and concentrate the full force on
the enlargement of the Earl shaft
and connect same with the present
bottom level of the mine, the fissure
raise will not be advanced any
further at present. The shaft cross
cut Is now directly under the Earl
shaft, but will be extended an addi-
tional eight feet before the raise Is
started, to allow room for the in
s~tallation of an ore chute.
When this Is in place a full width
shaft will be raised to connect with
the Earl shaft at the 350-foot level.
Work in Strengthening and enlarging
the Earl shaft Is proceeding favor
ably. The surface equipment at the
Earl has been placed in first-class
condition and the shaft has already
been enlarged to full two compart-
ments for a distance of four sets be-
low the surface. Three shifts will
be employed in this work and the
work will be pushed forward with all
expedition now that the preliminar-
les are finished.
The Amalgamated mill is employ
ed on the final milling from ore eX-
tracted during the recent develop
ment work in the Earl ore bodies.
The mill Is to be dismantled when
this ore milling has been completed
and It's next appearance will be on
Litigation Hill close to the collar OF
the company permanent working
shaft.
