The Tonopah Belmont last week
sent to the mill 1852 tons, the To-
nopah Mining $500 tons, the Tono-
pah Extension $3.50 tons, the Jim
Butler ESQ tons, the West End 796
tons, the Rescue 255 tons, the
Halifax 1873 tons, the Montana II
tons, the Midway 81 tons, and the
Cash Boy SO tons, making the total
production for the week 9647 tons,
the estimated value being $17S,469.
This valuation is calculated on the
gross milling value of the ore.

ment company, from it's two mill
ing plants, sem to the shelters

few days previously, that is, on the
10th of this month, SO dry tons of
concentrates were shipped. This
constituted the cleanup of the two

The bars and concentrates, the
entire shipment is worth approxi-
mately $126,446.
The report made this week by
the company will show for itself to
what extent development, produc-
ton and exploration work is being
carried on at the main property of
the company. 1t is safe to say that
the Belmont achieves a higher
weekly footage record than n
other mine in the state engaged ex-
clusively on lode mining. All the
levels from the 1500-foot depth up
to 700 feet, with the exception of
the 400 were operated during the
past week, and the tremendous
amount of work done is serving not
only to open up the orebodies that
have already been developed but to
prove up extensions of the respec-
tive veins and to locate new ones,
a notable instance of which occur
red on the 800-foot level, when a
crosscut to the northwest of the
Belmont shaft cut a new vein that
is now being developed.
The several vein systems, notably
the Belmont, the Rhyolite, the Fa-
vorite, the Rescue, the Shoestring,
the South, the Middle and the Shaft
veins, as we'll as the branches of
the different veins, are furnishing
good tonnages for the mill, ample
to keep the production record of
the mine up to about 5000 tons
weekly.

Beating Carpets

EDITOR THE TINES:
1t is the custom of many house
wives to have their carpets and
rugs taken out into a yard and
beaten and cleaned, the dust and
germs let loose to lodge where
they will.
In closely populated district
this seems to me nothing short OF
criminal. There is considerable
sickness here this winter, and
many people have carpets and
rugs in sickrooms and these have
have to be cleaned.
An ordinance to prohibit beat
ing and cleaning rugs and carpets
within close range of any inhab'
tied building is needed, and Its
rigid enforcement would be most
sane law of ordinary sanitation

would be pleased to see its inser-

Upon a few cardinal, fuBda-

advisable that all protestant. evan
gelical churches should organic
ally unite. To say that they can
not religiously work under the
same ecclesiastical banner is, to
say the least, a sad comment upon
present conditions, and should,
we believe. indicate rather the
contracted, selfish views of de-
nominationalism than the large,
wholesome views suggested by the
broadcast philanthropy and the
best evangelism.
II is unquestionablv true that
In every evangelical, local church
today, there obtains In the men,
bership about as many differences
of views and methods as lie notice

But neither the varying forms Of
