Editorial
Last Saturday Mr.. Pace, rep
resenting the Dry Goods Econ
omist, came to our store, in
troduced himself, and said he
had been sent here to see what
is becoming known all over the
United States as the most per-
feet system for handling cash
and charge customers.
This little compliment pleased
US a lot, but we're not nearly as
grateful to him for it as we
are for two or three suKges-
tions he left with US for i'm
proving and bettering our
service.
These suggestions were es-
pecially good as they had to
do with the handling Of the
immense Christmas. crowds
which are thronging our aisles.
We are not going to tell
you what the new ideas are.
See if you can notice them
the next time you do some
shopping in this store.
And, if you have any sugges-
tions to make for improve
ments, do not hesitate to let
US know them.

COALITION MINES MAKE SPLEN-
DID SHOWING OF GOOD
GRADE PRODUCT

The pitch of the formation in the
Seven Troughs Coalition Mining
company's property is Strengthening
up and becoming truer to its natur-
al course, which gives the manage
ment every reason to believe that
the lost ore shoots will soon be en-
countered again.
The drift from the 1800-foot
level is now advanced lis feet.
| After driving ten feet further work
will again be resumed at the 100
foot point and as previously stated
an upraise started. In this way
the upraise will not interfere with
the driving of the drift to the zoo
foot point or from which place the
second upraise will be made.
Work is progressing as usual with
most gratifying results. The ore is
increasing in value as well as in
width as depth is attained.
The first car Of ore which is to be
shipped to the Selby Smelling &
Lead company of San Francisco is
now on it's way to Lovelock by
team and as soon as the carload is
brought in shipments will be made.

however, that the objective of the

time, and this will also serve to
demonstrate that the veins of the
mine have not as yet been develop

Operations were discontinued in
the footwall of the Valley View
vein, where a raise was projected
a week or two ago., but a new piece
of work was started toward the
southeast from a point east of the
Silver Top shaft. This work, de-
signed for exploration purposes, IS
advancing in waste at the present
time, but a satisfactory footage
was attained during the week after
toe crosscut had got fairly started.
The stopping operations on the
Burro No. 4 vein and the south dip

was Issred. The store on the first
mentioned vein is continuing to

a six to eight foot width of milling

AT the Mizpah claim workings, on
the 500-foot level, the west drift
on the vein west of the shaft was
discontinued, but stopping on the
vein proceeded in the usual manner

change in the conditions existing at
this part of the mine since the pre-
vious report was made.
On the 6O0-foot level, raise $50,

William Harper, one of the heavy
stockholders in the Copper Prince
Mining company, which company
owns a group of six claims at North
cumberland on the east side of
Smoky valley, came in from the
property Tuesday and next morn
ing departed for his home at Muir

Mr.. Harper says that two shifts
are now employed in running a
tunnel to tap an Is inch ledge
which runs from three to sixteen
per cent in copper and carrying
both gold and silver. The tunnel
is now in 70 feet with $50 feet
more to be run, and when the ledge
is cut will give $50 feet of backs.
Mr.. Harper also says the pro-
perty has all the ear-marks of be-
coming a great producer, and as
the company is financed by Salt

will be thoroughly exploited and
developed.

WILL EXTRACT OIL
FROM SHALE BEDS
ELkO CLAIMS SUCCESS OF
PLANT MEANS MILLIONS
FOR DISTRICT

A letter from r. NJ. Catlin says
that he expects to be in Elko about
April 1 and that he will bring with
him a force of men who will COM
plete his plant at the shale beds,
about a mile south of town, pre-
paratory to starting operations.
Last summer Mr.. Catlin began
the construction of a plant for the
extraction of oil from shale. He eX-
pected to have it in operation be-
fore winter started, but unforeseen
difficulties were encountered, and
when the plant vas nearing com
pletion work was abandoned on ac-
count of cold weather.
The success of Mr.. Catlin's pro-
iect means millions to Elko. There
is an unlimited quantity of oil shale
of easy access, and after several
years Of experimenting MIR. Catlln
is thoroughly satisfied thta it can
be extracted at a big profit. His
faith in the proposition is evidenced
bv the fact that he is financing it
himself and has refused financial
assistance which has been offered.
About two years G he brought
Mr.. Findlater here from England to
look over the field. Mr.. Findlater
is regarded as one of the greatest
experts on oil shale in the world,
and he was very enthusiastic over
the proposition. He spent several
months exploring and making tests,
and in his report he said thai there
was shale enough to produce 10000
barrels of oil a day for 100 years.
AS the bi-products also have com
mercial value there is good pros
pect for the opening up of an indus
try of tremendous proportions. -

The Tonopah Mining company
has declared it's 47th dividend. At
the regular rate Is cents per quar-
ter, the disbursement to the stock
holders of the company will amount
to $4,000, which will bring the
actual disbursement by the COM
pany to the wne OF it's shares up
to $14,2S0, 600. In less than II
years the company has paid it's
capitalization back nearly Is times,
and the investments it has made in
local as we'll as outside properties
assure for it a record equally as
good as it has so far achieved.
Slightly less than the average
amount of development work was
performed at the big property dur
ing the past week. This is account
ed for by the discontinuance of
work in some of the development
and prospecting headings and a
transfer of the crews to other parts
of the mine, where, with new work

been started a few weeks ago for
the purpose of picking up a branch
of the Burro No. 4 vein at this

and that she told Harris, who, it
is stated, is only 10 years of age,

Crook street, from which it is
alleged the children we're stolen,
